Absolute Speed ​​of a Certain Anime

That’s all the benefits for my junior fellow students today.

"That's right, junior brother."

"What's wrong, senior sister?"

Jiang Li raised his head and looked directly at his senior sister.

"Good luck in the game!"

Dao Hua raised his fist, made a cheering gesture, and gave Jiang Li an encouraging smile.

"I look forward to fighting you on the stage of the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival!"

"of course!"

Jiang Li couldn't help but laugh when he heard that.

"I don't intend to stop at a place like this!"

Chapter 60 My Own Little Thoughts

2023-06-01

Around noon, after lunch, Jiang Li arrived at the seventh training ground early.

He did not exercise this morning, but only did his usual morning run. Then he went to the infirmary, adjusted his body, and rested for half a day to regain his energy and prepare for the preliminary competition this afternoon.

When Jiang Li arrived at the training ground, there were only a few figures in the audience.

It's lunch and break time now, and the first game won't start until half past twelve.

During the selection period, there will be nearly a hundred games every day, held in more than ten arenas, and each arena will host at least seven or eight games.

The first match in the afternoon at the seventh training ground was between Jiang Li and Guide Yuan Bifang.

Given his high popularity, by then, there should be a lot of people in the audience, whether they are contestants who come to confirm whether his record is fake, or girls who are simply obsessed with his looks, or even spies from other schools, they will all gather there.

In order to avoid being disturbed, Jiang Li did not stay in the audience, but walked through the passage to the contestant preparation room.

Participants need to be in the preparation room ten minutes before the start of the game. Now there is still half an hour before the start of the first game, so it is not impossible to go there early.

"Class 1, Grade 1, Nanxiang Jiangli, has been confirmed. I'm returning your student handbook."

At the counter in the preparation room, the female staff member had a stunning smile on her face. She scanned the student handbook on the machine and handed it back to Jiang Li without asking any unnecessary questions. She was a very polite person.

"Since this is your first fight, I'll explain the rules. This selection will use the exact same combat format as the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival. It's a one-on-one duel with no time limit and the option to forfeit. Your inherent spiritual gear will also be in its physical form, not its illusory form."

"Although the arena will be equipped with regeneration chambers at all times and staffed with several instructors, depending on the situation, there may be life-threatening situations. If you fully understand the above and are still willing to bear the consequences, please click the 'Accept' button in the student handbook. If not, please click the 'Reject' button. However, this will be considered a waiver, and your name will be automatically removed from the next draw, and you will not be able to participate in the selection competition again."

Jiang Li did not hesitate and quickly pressed the yes button.

The female employee looked at him in surprise.

Student knights are not allowed to release their inherent spiritual equipment in real form before the age of fifteen. Therefore, most student knights would hesitate when faced with such a life-threatening competition. It is very rare to find a student knight like him who does not hesitate at all.

Jiang Li walked around the corner, opened the door and walked into the preparation room.

The interior decoration is very simple, with only a few storage cabinets and benches, as well as a full-length mirror on the wall. At the innermost part, there is a small door, which shows an extraordinary presence.

Behind that door is the stage for the selection battle.

If you want to become the Seven-Star Sword King and reach the pinnacle of the Neon Student Knights, you must not lose a single battle from now on. If you are careless or make a mistake, years of hard work will go to waste.

"Hush...huh..."

Jiang Li adjusted his breathing, gradually calming his somewhat nervous heart.

Senior sister said that she wanted to meet him on the stage of the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival.

In this case, he must constantly surpass his own limits and pursue the most powerful realm, so that he can continue to defeat all powerful enemies that stand in his way.

"I don't have any talent except swordsmanship—"

Jiang Li stretched out his hand, and the bright silver sword that shone with ripples appeared in his hand, and he held it tightly.

As long as he held the sword, his heart would become inexplicably calm, as if everything was in his hands.

He sat on the bench, placed the Bling Knife on his knees, closed his eyes, and gathered his energy.

In the eyes of others, his figure at this moment changed from his previous frail appearance to become full of aggressiveness and extremely sharp.

Next, just wait for the game start signal to sound.

…………

Guideyuan Bifang was born into a noble family, but because of this he was burdened with the fate of not being able to act recklessly.

As the eldest daughter of the Guideyuan Group, Japan's second largest economy, she enjoyed wealth and status from her family that ordinary people could hardly possess, but she also shouldered the responsibility of marriage.

Getting married right after graduating from high school was a family decision.

She is already in her third year of high school this year. In other words, by the time she graduates early next year, she will be married off to Europe and become the next mistress of a large family.

She did not object to the family's decision.

The Guideyuan family is different from other families. They are European nobles who migrated to Neon during the French Revolution and have a history of hundreds of years.

This family was deeply influenced by the ideological trends of the time. Therefore, unlike other nobles who were obsessed with money, the Guideyuan Group vigorously supported the charity industry and established many orphanages, nursing homes, special individual care centers and other public welfare facilities across the country, which were praised by the whole country.

The rich should use their wealth to help the poor, which is the philosophy followed by this family.

Bifang is also proud of being born into this family, so he respects the family's decision and plans to curb his own selfish desires and sacrifice his marriage to achieve the prosperity of the family.

But even so, she is not without some little ideas that belong only to her.

It was just fate that prevented her from realizing this idea.

"Class 1, Nanxiang Jiangli, and Class 3, Class 2, Guideyuan Bifang, the competition time has arrived. Please enter."

Soon after entering the preparation room, a summons came from the radio.

Guidehara Kanata stood up from the bench, put away the messy thoughts swirling in his mind, opened his parasol, and walked towards the small door at the end of the preparation room.

Open the small door, walk through a dim passage, and you will see a blue gate in front of you.

As you walk out of the gate, the view opens up.

The noisy discussions and voices of support, as well as the electronic prompts from the radio, constantly assaulted her eardrums, and the clamorous battle scene was imprinted in her eyes.

She walked along the path on the grass and entered the huge battle circle with a diameter of one hundred meters, standing opposite the young man.

The young man had an otherworldly appearance. Both his facial features and body shape revealed a will that was close to perfection, and his whole body was filled with extraordinary charm.

Especially those dark eyes, which seemed to be able to see through everything in the world. When they looked directly at him, he gave the other person the illusion that everything about him was seen through.

In front of those eyes, she seemed naked, unable to hide anything.

That's right.

Although Guideyuan Bifang was burdened with the fate of marriage, he also had some ideas of his own.

"——If possible, just once, I want to have a relationship of my own volition."

Chapter 61 One-sided evaluation

2023-06-01

"Fortunately, it hasn't started yet."

In the audience, Ikki Kurogane and others rushed in from outside the stadium. Seeing that the game had not started yet, they relaxed and found a seat to sit down.

"Why do we have to rush over here to watch that guy's game?"

A look of disapproval appeared on Kurogane Jushizuku's porcelain doll-like face.

"Didn't he come to watch his brother's game yesterday?"

Ikki Kurogane's preliminary round was yesterday, and unfortunately he met Shizuya Kirihara, one of the contestants of Pojun Academy who participated in the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival last year. The opponent's ability was extremely restraining to him.

Although the process was a bit thrilling, and even so difficult that Ikki Kurogane wanted to give up at one point, fortunately, he finally won the preliminary round with the encouragement of Stella.

However, Jiang Li did not appear at yesterday's competition, which made Kurogane Jushizuku feel that their friendship was just that.

"Don't say that, Shizuku."

Kurogane Ikki shook his head. He was very considerate of others, so he considerately helped Jiang Li explain.

"Jiang Li's opponent in the preliminary round is a student council member, much stronger than Kirihara Shizuya, and their compatibility is overwhelmingly different. He must be racking his brains to come up with a strategy."

Kirihara Shizuya is a C-class knight, but Kitanohara Kanata is a B-class knight, and the compatibility between the two is neither good nor bad. If they fight, Kitanohara Kanata will most likely win.

By this calculation, the situation Jiang Li has to face today is probably much more difficult than what he faced yesterday.

"That guy may be a bad-mouthed person, but he's still Ikki's friend. You're being too petty, Shushizuku."

Stella looked down at Shizuku with a condescending look on her face, looking very proud.

Last night, her relationship with Ikki took a step forward, and the sense of crisis she brought to Shushizuku was much less. Whenever she saw her, she felt an urge to show off.

Unfortunately, she is a princess of a foreign country after all. If she rashly falls in love, it will definitely cause huge trouble. Therefore, the two agreed to keep this matter a secret between them and not tell anyone.

"Well, since I don't have anything to do next, why not come here and kill some time?"

Arisuin Nagi crossed her fingers and showed a very girlish smile of anticipation on her face, "I also want to see if Jiang Lijun can win such a game like Ikki!"

Kuroganezuku curled her lips and said nothing.

"Look over there!"

As they were talking, Arisuin Nagi suddenly noticed something and cast a surprised look towards the top of the audience, causing several people to turn their heads to look.

At the top level of the auditorium, several figures filed in from the passage and appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Their aura is completely different from that of ordinary student knights. Their whole bodies exude an extraordinary sense of oppression, and they have a scent that is completely different from greenhouse flowers. They are quite powerful.

Among them was a tough guy with a shaved head, a lively girl in a gymnastics outfit, and a young boy who looked like an elementary school student... and standing in the front of them, leading everyone like a leader, was a girl with long chestnut braided hair and glasses and a gentle expression.

"Are all the student council members here?"

Arisuin Nagi couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

"It seems they are also paying close attention to this game!"

After all, one of the parties is a member of the student union, and the other is the junior of the student union president. Both sides have a deep connection with the student union. Who will win and who will lose is really on their minds, so there is no reason not to come and watch the game.

"Oh, I never thought that in my first battle with Bifang, I would actually meet Daohua's junior brother. What a twist of fate."

The vice-president of the student council, Yufu Bubble, is short like an elementary school student, and he has a seemingly innocent smile on his face.

"This is an overwhelming disadvantage for Daohua's junior brother. I hope he won't be seriously injured, but that's impossible. If you fight against the other party, no one can avoid being injured, not even an A-rank knight."

His attitude clearly leaned towards Guideyuan.

"For Junior Brother Jun, the best outcome is a loss for both sides. Winning is almost impossible."

The tough guy with a shaved head, Suichenglei, said in a deep voice.

"Yes, it's a pity, but I stand on the other side too!"

Usagi Renren, who was wearing a cool gymnastics outfit, also nodded.

Dongtang Daohua didn't say anything.

She just watched the battle circle silently, but there was obvious worry in her eyes.

In this game, it is impossible for the junior brother to avoid getting injured, the opponent's ability is so terrifying.

Whether my junior brother can win this battle depends on only one key - whether he can cross the bloody mountain of swords built by the other side!

"The game begins."

Dongtang Daohua reminded.

At the same time, the eyes of the student council, Ikki Kurogane and the other three below, and even the entire arena were all cast towards the battle circle that was only a hundred meters in size.

"It's finally here! The first match at the seventh training ground today is already so exciting! Even before the match even started, I, as the commentator, am already fired up! That's because both teams in this match are incredibly talented! We've invited Xijing Ningyin to commentate on this match again!"

"I haven't had lunch yet and I'm a little hungry. Can someone bring me some takeout?"

"Alright, thank you, Teacher Xijing Ningyin, for your feedback! Now, please welcome both contestants to the stage!"
