73: Chapter 19: Power Shake Heavy Cavalry (Part 1) 73: Chapter 19: Power Shake Heavy Cavalry (Part 1) Xiang Luan glared at him with an annoyed look in her beautiful eyes, which caught Yin Zhu off guard and made him stare in fascination, “What am I supposed to say about you?
Our opponents tomorrow from the Divine Music Department are not going to be as easy to deal with as those other departments in the Magic Department.
The last four departments to enter the finals are the Summoning Department of the Magic Department and our Divine Music Department, as well as the two traditionally strong departments from the Martial Arts Department: the Heavy Sword Warrior Department and the Heavy Cavalry Department.
They are all tough opponents.
Actually, our advancing this time was pretty lucky.
The traditional three major departments of the Magic Department—Spiritual, Space, and Summoning—are not as balanced as in previous years.
The Summoning Department, with its surprise rise to power, entered the finals with a record of all victories in the preliminaries.
The Spiritual and Space Departments gave up their matches against us and the Summoning Department because they fought too fiercely against each other, both ending with seven wins and two losses, tied for third place in the Magic Department, while we had eight wins and one loss, ranking second.
Because of this, the first opponent we face in the finals is from the Martial Arts Department—the Heavy Cavalry Department, which also had a record of all victories in the preliminaries and ranked first.”
“Oh,” Ye Yinzhu nodded and turned to look at Sura beside him, rubbing his stomach.
Sura knew he was hungry, smiled slightly, and immediately stood up to go to the kitchen.
“Oh, your head,” Xiang Luan’s temper was not as gentle as her appearance as she stared at Ye Yinzhu, “Aren’t you worried at all?”
Ye Yinzhu looked surprised, “Worried?
Why should I be worried?”
Xiang Luan revealed an adorable expression as if defeated by him, “I really don’t know what’s going on in your head.
Right now, no one in the academy has any faith in our Divine Music Department’s match against the Heavy Cavalry Department.
Everyone thinks we’re going to lose.”
“So what if they don’t?
Hasn’t it always been that way in the past?” Ye Yinzhu said with a smile.
Xiang Luan paused, that’s right!
No one had faith in the Divine Music Department in the past either, but this time the Department had made it to the finals of the newers’ petition.
It’s worth noting that this is the first time in history that the Divine Music Department had participated in the newers’ petition!
“Does that mean you’re very confident?”
Ye Yinzhu shook his head, “I’m not.
But I will do my best.”
“You’re about to drive me crazy,” Xiang Luan was somewhat dissatisfied with Ye Yinzhu’s attitude, “You’re not confident, and yet you don’t prepare properly?
Director Nina told me to inform you that she’s already very satisfied with us reaching the finals.
She doesn’t want to see any of you five suffer any injuries in tomorrow’s semifinals.
If there’s no chance to contend with the opponent, you, as the leader, must concede immediately.”
“I have a way to prevent the others from getting hurt.” A faint glow flashed through Ye Yinzhu’s eyes, which Xiang Luan didn’t notice, but Haiyang saw that determination and persistence.
“Praise Falan, it’s like casting pearls before swine.
Enough, I’m going back to sleep,” Xiang Luan stood up, kicked Ye Yinzhu in the calf, and then left in a huff.
Ye Yinzhu rubbed his leg with a wry smile and said to Haiyang, who was still sitting there, “Senior Haiyang, what’s with Elder Sister Xiang Luan?
She seems angry.”
Haiyang said indifferently, “Elder Sister Xiang Luan has always been very straightforward.
She came with good intentions to remind you; she’s a bit unhappy because you seem to be indifferent.
Don’t worry, she won’t really be mad.
However, Ye Yinzhu, do you know about our opponents tomorrow?”
Ye Yinzhu shook his head.
Haiyang continued, “Heavy Cavalry are an extremely important military force in any country on the Ryuzakinus Continent.
For instance, the famous Dragon Cavalry on the continent is a type of Heavy Cavalry, and they are also the strongest among them.
Their charging power is extremely formidable, and the bination of the knights’ own strength with that of their mounts makes it almost impossible for us to cast spells in the close-quarters bat of the trial field.
As far as I know, among the five students of the Heavy Cavalry Department we will be facing tomorrow, there are two Intermediate Yellow-rank, two Advanced Yellow-rank, and one Beginner Green-rank.
The Magic Department has always claimed the championship of the newers’ petition, and this time, it seems the Heavy Cavalry Department has e prepared.
Each of their five contestants even has magic resistance equipment, and they are all set on securing the championship.”
Ye Yinzhu said, “Senior Sister, I have an idea for tomorrow, and I hope you can support me when the time es, is that okay?”
Without asking what Ye Yinzhu’s idea was, Haiyang simply nodded and said, “Alright.”
School had already been in session for over ten days, and even though official classes had yet to start, today the Milan Magic Martial Academy was bustling with unprecedented activity.
The final stage of the freshman petition was about to begin, and for the students at Milan, the climax of the freshman petition was akin to their festival.
The final stage of the petition spanned three days, with the first day being the semifinals.
In the morning, the Divine Music Department would face the Heavy Cavalry Department, and the Summoning Department would go against the Heavy Sword Warrior Department in the afternoon.
The second day was for rest, and on the third day, the winners of the first day’s semifinals would have their final showdown.
These three matches would all take place at the Central Trial Field of the Milan Magic Martial Academy, where major examinations for students were held.
The Central Trial Field at the Milan Magic Martial Academy, located centrally between the Martial Arts Department and the Magic Department, adjacent to the mixed dormitory area, was five times the size of the other departments’ trial fields.
On the east side of this vast circular trial field stood a platform that could acmodate three hundred people.
Extending from both sides of the platform, converging in the opposite direction, were ten levels of high stands that could acmodate the entire student body of the Milan Magic Martial Academy, akin to a vast colosseum.
With such a vast trial field, ten petitors would have ample space to showcase their skills.
Around the Central Trial Field, students from both the Magic and Martial Arts Departments, divided by their respective departments, were already waiting eagerly.
The lively atmosphere and the waves of cheers rose and fell intermittently.
“Heavy Cavalry…
Heavy Cavalry…
Heavy Cavalry…” Students from the Martial Arts Department, which numbered twice that of the Magic Department, shouted their lungs out based on their Douqi, pletely overshadowing the magic side.
After all, mages could never outshout warriors.
“Divine Music…
Divine Music…
Divine Music…” Although not many in the Magic Department were optimistic about the Divine Music Department, they naturally cheered for their colleagues in the magic specialty out of dignity and noble self-confidence.
Unfortunately, their cheers were entirely drowned out by those from the Martial Arts Department.
The petition hadn’t officially started yet, but the students were already engaging in a silent contest of spirit—teachers from each department, among the students, did not prevent their own students from shouting.
A petitive mechanism was essential for stimulating student growth.
Ye Yinzhu was by the side of the Central Trial Field at this time, along with the other four participants from the Divine Music Department.
With his black hair draped over his shoulders, Ye Yinzhu’s mood seemed very stable as he quietly awaited the start of the match.
Haiyang stood beside Ye Yinzhu, “Do you really want to do that?”
Ye Yinzhu nodded, “Yes, I’ve made up my mind.”
“Alright.
Be careful.”
Xueling and Lanxi both looked calm, gazing at Ye Yinzhu with a hint of admiration, while only Peacock’s face revealed a proud expression, her eyes filled with discontent.
At this moment, the voice from the platform above captured everyone’s attention.
“Students, please be quiet.” The voice was deep but carried an undeniable authority that caused every student and teacher present to feel a jolt in their minds, and the entire Central Trial Field instantly became quiet.
Shrouded in a faint purple glow, Fergerson stood at the forefront of the platform.
He didn’t use any sound amplification devices; for a Zi rank Grand Spiritual Sorcerer, mental intimidation was effortless.
Just six simple words shook the tens of thousands of students present.
That was the power of Zi rank strength.
