Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 147 Competition
The dinner was held in the Lower Cabinet, which had a luxurious restaurant comparable to that of a castle palace. In order to welcome members of the Chinese government, many important figures were present.

The arrogant Morikan Academy also came along

These people are also the best mages selected from various universities, and they will also undergo special training for several months. The purpose is to block the progress of the players from the national universities of major countries.

Every country's national team players who come here need to be recognized by their national pavilion. Only when they are recognized by enough national pavilions will they be eligible to enter the Venice Honor Showdown. Therefore, Osaka's Nishimorikaku is the first opponent of the Chinese national team. Although the instructors have left them alone, it does not mean that they can just deal with the battle of the national pavilions!
The combat effectiveness of each country's national pavilion defense team will not be much inferior to that of the government team. In fact, if the coordination and matching of some defense teams are more perfect, their strength may even be stronger than that of the government team!

Hundreds of countries participated, but only a few could finally step into the water city of Venice. The challenge of the national pavilion is the only way to the final, so if the national pavilion is not strong, doesn’t that mean that all countries can enter the final?
During the dinner, the girls also came here. They were the last to arrive, carrying large and small bags of things they bought in Osaka.

Especially Jiang Shaoxu, her desk was piled with luxury goods she bought, including clothes, shoes, bags, jewelry...

“Damn, my head hurts…” Lin Ran rubbed his head, looking a little uncomfortable.

“Hehehe, do you know what you just did?” Zhao Manyan said in a mean way.

Lin Ran looked at Zhao Manyan in confusion. He seemed to have drunk a little alcohol before and then felt that his memory was abnormal.

At this time, Mo Fan took out his mobile phone and clicked on a video, which showed the process of Lin Ran forcefully kissing Mochizuki Chixun. Poor Mochizuki Chixun couldn't even resist.

In the end, Mochizuki Chiaki walked while crying, and was so sad that she even stepped on air and fell into the water.

Lin Ran said with an awkward expression: "Is this me?"

I feel like I am a pretty good drinker, why would I do something like this?
He looked at Mochizuki Chixun, and at this moment the woman was staring at him intently.

I silently looked away and looked at the sumptuous food. It looked delicious!
"You have such a leisurely time. When the Korean team came to our place, they were all immersed in training, but they were still beaten to a pulp by us. You girls, on the other hand, go shopping as soon as you come to Osaka...you're no different from ordinary girls." On the main seat, Mr. Kokukan of Osaka, an island country, finally couldn't help but speak.

This teacher at the National Museum was probably in her forties or fifties. Her hair looked very high and her eyes were sharp. One could tell at a glance that she was a stern menopausal woman who could not stand the extravagance of young women, and naturally could not stand anything other than serious and hard training.

"I am a magician and also a woman. Besides, you guys who keep the pavilion are just average, so there is no need to practice hard." Jiang Shaoxu is not a pushover. When she came here, she heard people say that the islanders in the West Guard Pavilion were very unfriendly, so she shouldn't expect her to be polite.

Jiang Shaoxu's words offended all the Japanese people at the dinner.

The teachers, military leaders, clan elders, young mages, and gym guards all frowned, and the atmosphere changed completely.

"You're quite good at talking, but what's the use?" At this time, one of the charming female guards spoke up.

The woman spoke with a heavy nasal tone, not hiding Jiang Shaoxu's dissatisfaction and disdain at all.

“Okay, actually, we had a lot of delicious food in Osaka this afternoon, including the dinner. It’s really strange, the food in this city is so delicious, but the people are the opposite, always making people feel uncomfortable. Let’s start the competition tonight. We will leave our footprints on your faces, and then we have to go to the next stop.” Jiang Shaoxu stood up slowly at this time, his words full of explosive gunpowder!

At this moment, all the islanders in the West Guard Pavilion were furious! !
To describe earning a badge of recognition as putting a footprint on their face is a blatant insult!

The dinner party fell silent, but of course this was not calm, but an atmosphere that could erupt in a storm at any time!
"Jiang Shaoxu, don't be like this..." Mo Fan pulled Jiang Shaoxu.

Mochizuki Chixun had already stood up from her seat at this time. She was staring at Lin Ran. The humiliation that Lin Ran brought to her was driving her crazy. Her first kiss ended in this way. Although she had a hot temper, she was definitely not a loose woman. But could she really beat Lin Ran?

When she was kissed forcibly before, she used magic, and used it without reservation, but these magics were like toy weapons in front of him. Seeing Mo Fan stop the outspoken woman, Mochizuki Qianxun sat back in her seat.

“You all ate your fill in Osaka, but we are still hungry. If you want to fight, you have to wait until we are full.” Mo Fan then said the rest.

The Japanese people in Xishouge's faces twitched and they cursed wildly in their hearts.

Mochizuki Qianxun looked at Mo Fan's position with gritted teeth, and the cutlery in her hand was bent.

Their island country is a place where talented people abound. When it comes to the comprehensive strength of their mages, they are ranked among the best in the world. Before, when other countries came to their Xishou Pavilion to exchange ideas, they were all respectful and well-behaved, and spoke in soft voices.

The group of Chinese people in front of me are not only extremely arrogant, but also infuriating.

"Since you are so anxious to learn from us, don't blame us for not entertaining you well. Come on, set up the fighting arena immediately. We must ensure that the competition can proceed smoothly after dinner and tea!" said a female teacher from the National Museum.

"Yes, Teacher Nobuko!"

Then several disciples immediately ran out of the dinner party.

Wangyue Mingjian wanted to say something, but after looking at the atmosphere, he couldn't help but sigh.

What a bunch of hot-tempered young people. Can't such an important matter wait a little longer?

Before, the golden-haired Okamoto Matsu had a smile on his face. He was a man with little patience. He wanted to take action when Lin Ran and the others were arrogant and rude today. Now they are in a hurry to die, so it’s not their fault!
If you really think that the members of the West Guard Pavilion are just ordinary guards, you are totally wrong.

These people are from the same group as the Island Country Government Team, and they may not lose to the Island Country Government Team in terms of strength.

The players from the National Hall and the Government Hall can be rotated. If the defenders of the National Hall perform well, they can replace the Government Hall players during the training period.

Everyone wants to know that Venice’s battlefields are world-famous, so they will try their best in every national pavilion challenge.

Lin Ran squeezed in front of Mu Ningxue and Mu Nujiao.

Mu Nujiao said with a smile on her face: "Are we familiar with each other?"

She probably saw the video in Mo Fan's hand. Since Mu Nujiao saw it, Mu Ningxue probably saw it too. No wonder she felt even colder.

Lin Ran began to explain the reason...

"Then let's discuss while we eat. Should we have a group fight or a one-on-one? Personally, I prefer one-on-one. It is not ruled out that there will be a lot of unqualified guys in the national government team." Guan Yu aimed directly at the golden-haired Okamoto Takashi and got straight to the point.

"Then it's one-on-one. Each team will select five players and then have a one-on-one duel." Teacher Nobuko Kokukan said.

"Teacher, let me do it. Although China is vast and rich in resources, it is inevitable that there will be some frogs in the well. I think it is most appropriate for me to do this kind of educational work." The blond Okamoto Takashi said. Nobuko shook her head and said, "They are guests, so let them choose their opponents."

When Guan Yu heard this, his eyes immediately locked onto Okamoto Takashi and he said, "Then I'll choose him."

"Teacher, the fighting arena is ready, and the protective barrier is functioning normally." Suddenly a disciple came forward and said respectfully to Fujikata Nobuko.

Fujikata Nobuko nodded and said to everyone, "Then we won't waste your time, let's go to the fighting arena together!"

……

The fighting arena of Xishou Pavilion is on the south side facing the ocean. It is a huge diamond-shaped platform artificially paved in the suspended area outside the mountain. When there is no competition, it can also be used as a helicopter landing field. When several people just entered the fighting arena, they saw a helicopter flying away from the venue, and it seemed to be flying towards the direction of the Naval Battle City.

The venue is larger than expected, and it is estimated that it can be used as an acceleration runway for some passenger planes.

"This diamond-shaped platform is made of gray crystal. Don't worry that it will not be able to withstand your magic attacks. The power that can completely break it is far beyond your reach at present." said the female island country student who pinched her nose.

This female student's name is Xiaochi Shoko. The coquettish aura that emanates from her bones had already collided with Jiang Shaoxu's aura at the dining table. It is estimated that Jiang Shaoxu will not stop beating her!
Of course, Xiaochi Shoko also cared very much about what Jiang Shaoxu said in the restaurant. She had never seen such an arrogant and shameless Chinese woman!
"We don't hit stones, we only hit people in the face." Jiang Shaoxu looked at Xiaochi Shoko's sarcastic expression and said this casually.

Chi Xiangzi chuckled.

……

"You guys should discuss it among yourselves," said Kokukan teacher Nobuko Fujikata.

Ai Jiangtu then led everyone to the other side of the table. He had originally wanted to discuss who would participate in the competition, but he discovered that several people's anger had already spread to others.

The candidate has been temporarily decided.

"We have already selected our people. Let the three of them compete with your guards." Ai Jiangtu said.

These three people were Jiang Shaoxu, Guan Yu, and Mo Fan, who had already locked on their opponents. They had originally planned to let Lin Ran come, but these three people all had someone they wanted to beat up, so they had no choice but to trust them.

"Didn't we say this in the banquet hall before? You would select five people, and then you five would randomly select five of us to have five one-on-one duels. Don't you know how to count?" said the blond Okamoto Takashi.

"Wouldn't it be enough if we win three out of five competitions?" Ai Jiangtu replied.

"So you only choose three people?" An island military commander dressed in military uniform raised his thick eyebrows, with a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.

To be honest, if he were 30 or 40 years younger, he would jump up and give these arrogant Chinese players a beating!
These guys don't take their island country's national pavilion athletes seriously at all!!

"Captain, you are so awesome!" Jiang Yu secretly gave Ai Jiangtu a thumbs up.

“I give full marks to this pretentious guy!” Zhao Manyan said with a smile.

“However, this means we cannot lose a single match,” Nanyu said.

"I don't know about others, but there's no way I'll lose this game." Guan Yu was the first to step forward, and it was obvious that he was going to take the lead!

Guan Yu slowly walked in front of the players from the island country's national pavilion. There were only ten players from the national pavilion, and the ones he had met before were Okamoto Takashi and Mochizuki Chisaki.

Nine of them were kneeling in the front row with white ribbons on their heads, which represents the unyielding fighting spirit in the island country.

……

The battle begins.

Both of them are mages who excel in speed. At the beginning, Guanyu had the advantage in speed and suppressed Okamoto, but when Okamoto used the magic tool of walking on the shoes, Guanyu's speed was overtaken.

Although Guan Yu possessed an extremely powerful magic tool, he spent too many resources to buy it and could not afford better magic tools, so he was gradually suppressed.

“Eh? Is Guan Yu the only one who can brag like this? If it were me, I would have solved it in minutes.” Mo Fan said.

"Guan Yu is already very good. It looks like the two of them are going to be stuck in a protracted battle." Ai Jiangtu said.

This blond island guy is quite strong.

Mo Fan felt very bored. He looked at Lin Ran and found that this guy actually leaned his head on Mu Nujiao's shoulder. Did he calm down Mu Nujiao's anger so quickly?
Time passed little by little, but in the end Guanyu defeated Okamoto with his magic tool, but he was not feeling well either, as several of his ribs were broken.

"Several bones are broken. Just lie down and don't move for a while." Nan Rongni touched Guan Yu in the air with his hand and knew the extent of his injuries.

"Is it so tragic?" Jiang Yu asked in surprise.

"Humph, I almost stabbed him to death. This guy must be more miserable than me!" Guan Yu said stubbornly.

"The final confrontation was very exciting. I thought you were going to lose, but I didn't expect you to be so bold and use your incredible speed to break through the wind disk trap." Zu Jiming said.

"Let me go next. It's really embarrassing that a student guarding the island country is so embarrassed." Mo Fan had no sympathy for Guan Yu and immediately mocked him.

"Okay, I'll be the last one... But don't lose. If you lose, it won't be any use even if I win," said Jiang Shaoxu.

"Don't worry, I will definitely beat Mochizuki Chixun into a state of drunkenness and death." Mo Fan patted his chest and said.

Mu Nujiao then said, "Mo Fan should be able to win, right?"
