The deceased corporate pursuer: Oh right, right right! He was such a good person, so good that he sent us the whole cremation process! He even saved us the trouble of burying him on the spot!

Chapter 152 Phoenix Star Martial Festival

"Thank you so much for what happened this morning."

Eurythm approached Roy and sincerely thanked him.

"I owe you a favor for this. If you need anything, feel free to ask, as long as it's within my power."

"Oh my, it's quite rare for Your Highness to say such a thing!"

Yoru stood to the side with a teasing smile, as if he was anticipating Yulis's reaction and taking pleasure in it.

But Yuri didn't react at all, and didn't even look at him, which made Yoru feel a little discouraged.

Actually, I don't need anything.

Seeing that Yulis looked like she wanted him to give her what she needed on the spot, Roy could only shrug.

"That's it..."

Yulis frowned slightly; she couldn't force the issue.

"In that case, let's keep this favor. If you need it anytime, just let me know, and I'll help you as much as possible without violating my principles or conflicting with my own interests."

"Although I don't think you need to owe me a favor, I'll remember what you said if you insist."

Roy looked her up and down, and instead of feigning modesty to decline, he readily agreed.

"Thank you very much."

Yulis breathed a sigh of relief, then stopped talking and returned to her seat without uttering a word.

Roy glanced at her, looking thoughtful.

"Don't mind her, that's just her personality."

Night Breeze walked over and patted him on the shoulder, revealing a look of sympathy.

"He seems very grateful, right? Actually, you could say he isn't, but given his personality, he's probably more interested in repaying your kindness quickly and then severing ties with you. He's quite cold, isn't he?"

Roy understood. Indeed, that was the feeling Eurythm gave off—she seemed eager to repay the favor as soon as possible.

For her, this favor might be a burden on her heart.

Moreover, this princess is truly indifferent.

Night Breeze was discussing her right next to her, which would normally cause some discomfort for most people, but Yulis just sat there coldly, without reacting at all.

In contrast, Eishiro Yobuki is very enthusiastic and eager to befriend Roy.

In his words, having more connections means having more opportunities.

At noon, he also helped Roy find out about the school cafeteria.

After school in the afternoon, Ye Chui volunteered again to lead Roy back to the dormitory.

The dormitories at Seidokan Academy are shared by students from the junior high, high school, and university sections. On one floor, you might see a thirteen-year-old boy or a young man in his twenties.

Of course, the boys and girls are separated. The girls' dormitory has a classic and elegant design, while the boys' dormitory is a very ordinary building. The difference is obvious, making people wonder if some male students offended the female leaders of the school when the dormitory was built.

"Here we are, right here!"

A room on the second floor of a certain building in the boys' dormitory, at a corner.

Eishiro Yoru led Roy here. The nameplate on the door prominently displayed their names, with Roy's name standing out as particularly eye-catching, clearly newly made.

Upon opening the door, a simple dormitory room comes into view. It is about 20 square meters in size, and there is still plenty of room with two beds and a desk and chairs. It doesn't feel crowded like a small dormitory room where ten or more people are crammed in, which is quite good.

One of the beds next to it already had bedding, and there was a pile of documents on the table; it was probably the bed that Ye Bian had used. The other bed, however, was completely bare and had nothing on it.

"Where's your luggage?"

"Hold on."

Roy left the room.

About half a minute later, under Nightblower's surprised gaze, Roy walked in carrying a suitcase and began making the bed.

Ye Chui lay in bed, a hint of confusion in her eyes.

Why did the sound of dragging a suitcase only start when we were almost at the dormitory?

But this is a minor matter.

"By the way, Roy, are you planning to participate in this year's Star Martial Festival?"

When this was mentioned, Ye Chui immediately perked up, picked up a notebook from the table, and struck a pose like a professional journalist conducting an interview.

Roy paused slightly as he made the bed.

"The Star Martial Festival... Is this year's the Phoenix Star Martial Festival?"

"That's right, that's right."

Night Breeze nodded and said, "The Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival is held in August, which is during the summer vacation. You transferred here at this time, so you must have been poached by the human resources agent and recruited into the Star Guide Hall Academy with the aim of getting good results in the Star Martial Arts Festival, right?"

The Star Martial Arts Festival is the world's largest comprehensive combat performance jointly organized by six major integrated corporate conglomerates. This academic city is the stage for the Star Martial Arts Festival, and the Star Pulse Generation students gathered here are the contestants.

However, the Star Martial Arts Festival is a three-year cycle. The Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival is held in the summer of the first year, the Griffin Star Martial Arts Festival is held in the autumn of the second year, and the King Dragon Star Martial Arts Festival is held in the winter of the third year. The three Star Martial Arts Festivals together constitute a complete season, and the season ends when the King Dragon Festival ends. Points are awarded based on the performance of the contestants from each academy in the Star Martial Arts Festival, and the final ranking of the six academies is determined by the total points.

"In the last quarter's Star Martial Arts Festival, our Seidokan Academy only ranked fifth. Although there was also the Queenway Girls' Academy at the bottom, that academy doesn't really value the Star Martial Arts Festival results. After all, this is the strategy of the W&W conglomerate, which is the parent company. Our Seidokan Academy is in fact at the bottom, so it's no wonder that the higher-ups are worried!"

Yoru spoke eloquently, fully aware of the crisis and achievements of his own academy.

The six academies in this six-pointed star city are actually affiliated with six major integrated corporate conglomerates. For example, Quinnway Children's Academy belongs to W&W, while Seidoukan Academy belongs to Galaxy. The other four academies belong to the remaining four major conglomerates.

The operational strategy of each academy is determined by the conglomerate that acts as its parent organization.

As the world's largest performance event, the Star Festival is something that, apart from the Queenway Children's Academy, which belongs to W&W and doesn't care much about, the other five conglomerates all hope that their respective academies can achieve the best results in it.

Therefore, the five schools under its jurisdiction often fought each other fiercely, with countless open and covert struggles, and bloodshed was a common occurrence.

Seidoukan Academy suffered a crushing defeat in the competition last season.

"I will participate, barring any unforeseen circumstances."

Roy didn't think for long before giving a definite answer.

The root cause is that he can do whatever he wants, and He will handle the rest. Since that's the case, he should naturally try to do things his way as much as possible.

As a stage jointly recognized by the six major conglomerates, the Star Martial Arts Festival offers a very generous champion reward that can grant one wish, so he had no reason not to win it.

"In that case, have you chosen your teammates yet?"

As if waiting for him to say those words, Yoru-buki immediately became excited.

Chapter 153 Who should I choose as my partner?

"That's what I'm also struggling with. Who should I choose as my partner?"

Roy pondered for a moment, then continued packing his luggage.

"But there's still a month until the Star Martial Festival, so there's no need to rush."

There are three types of Star Martial Festivals, each with its own rules.

Among them, the Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival is a team battle, which is a two-on-two competition, while the Griffin Star Martial Arts Festival has more participants, which is a five-on-five team battle. The final King Dragon Star Martial Arts Festival is the one-on-one ultimate competition.

If Roy wants to participate in the current Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival, he needs to find a teammate to meet the participation requirements.

"Wait a minute, are you really not sure or are you pretending not to know?"

Night Breeze was taken aback when she saw his completely unhurried expression.

"what?"

"Actually, the registration deadline for the Star Martial Arts Festival has long passed."

"what?!"

Roy stared at Nightbloom with his mouth slightly agape, looking somewhat bewildered.

"It has passed?"

"Yes!"

Seeing that he seemed genuinely unaware, Ye Chui had no choice but to explain it to him in detail.

"The registration deadline for the Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival is the end of June, and the opening ceremony is in mid-August. Although there is a month and a half in between, that period is for the operations committee to make preparations."

"However, nothing is absolute. Before each Star Martial Arts Festival begins, there are always a few teams that have to give up the competition due to attacks. So, in order to fill the gaps, each tournament prepares a few reserve teams. If you register now, you can only join the reserve team, and whether the reserve team can be selected is another matter!"

Is there such a thing?

Luo Yiren was stunned for a moment. He thought the registration period was until the start of the competition. Isn't that the standard procedure for martial arts tournaments? The World's Number One Martial Arts Tournament is like this. Why is your Star Martial Festival making a fuss? Anyway, only students from the island are participating. What's the rush?

However, with a reserve team system, everything is still manageable.

"So, do you want me to help you choose a partner?"
