Absolute Speed ​​of a Certain Anime

Jiang Li looked around.

It seems that Stella and Arisuin Nagi are not here.

"Arisuin Nagi has withdrawn."

Guideyuan Bifang stood up, but she had her arms folded across her chest and looked cold, as if she was in a very bad mood.

"His identity as a spy was exposed, and he felt he had failed to live up to our trust, so he has withdrawn from the delegation. As for Stella, she is now in Tokyo."

Facing her cold gaze, Jiang Li looked away guiltily.

"Tokyo? Why did Stella go there?"

Dongtang Daohua became confused instead, as she had just woken up today.

“Well, five days ago, Stella took the initiative to go to Tokyo and is now training with Teacher Xijing Ningyin.”

Guideyuan Bifang explained calmly.

Jiang Li was not the only one who was stimulated by the battle at Akatsuki Academy.

As a swordsman who possesses the world's most powerful magic, Stella should theoretically be incredibly strong, but she was easily crushed by the Black Iron King Horse.

This must have been a huge stimulation to her.

It just so happened that Xijing Ningyin had a game to play there, so she took the initiative to go to Tokyo. I heard that she is now undergoing murderous training from Expired Loli.

"Junior brother, since you are back, go say hello to the chairman. He will definitely be happy to see you back."

Dongtang Daohua said to Jiang Li.

"Okay, see you later!"

Jiang Li waved to a few people and left the open space.

By the way, when no one else was paying attention, he gave a look to Guideyuan Bifang.

"Great! I didn't expect Junior Brother-kun to become so strong right after returning! This way, our Pojun Academy will definitely win the championship this year!"

Usagi Renren pumped his fist excitedly.

Citybreaker Thunder nodded sullenly beside him.

Jiang Li's strength has become so powerful that it is obvious to all. Even the Heitie brothers and sisters were easily defeated by him. Who else can fight him now?

"Don't be too arrogant. Those people in Akatsuki Academy are not easy to deal with, especially the three in the lead..."

Guideyuan Bifang lowered his eyes and felt heavy-hearted.

"Uh……"

When she thought of those three guys who were so strong that they seemed to have cheats, Usagi Renlian also became depressed.

This year's Pojun Academy is indeed much stronger than before. Several players of the level of Dongtang Daohua appeared this year. If it were the previous Seven Star Sword Dance Festival, it would not be difficult to take the top three places.

However, Akatsuki Academy, which originated from the world's largest terrorist organization, the Rebellion, has a strength far beyond that of ordinary student knights. It is an extremely heavy mountain that stands in the way.

Whether or not it can be crossed is far from certain.

Chapter 682: Festival Participation List

2023-06-01

Shinguji Kurono sat at the table with a worried look on his face.

There was a document in front of her, and her index finger kept tapping on the table.

"Among the eight academies, only Pojun Academy has not submitted its application form yet."

She held her forehead and sighed.

If this continues, the number of representatives from Pojun Academy this year will be cut in half, and it will suddenly become the academy with the fewest players.

This is her first year in office, and she had agreed with the board of directors to lead the school to achieve good results. If she continues like this, there is no point in talking about good results. She should be thankful that she is not expelled.

"Please come in."

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

"Daohua, you finally woke up?"

When Shinguji Kurono saw the two figures coming together, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"And Jiang Li, you've only returned today. You're truly careless! I thought both of you were going to miss this year's Seven Star Sword Dance Festival!"

Her spirits visibly lifted.

"I'm sorry to have made the chairman worried."

Dongtang Daohua bowed to her apologetically.

"I'm glad you got back in time. There's no need for you to apologize on his behalf."

Shinguji Kurono waved his hand and said indifferently.

"You've come just in time, please sign this contract!"

She took out two documents from the desk and handed them to the two men.

"contract?"

Jiang Li took it.

Written on it were the rules and regulations for participating in the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival, which clearly stated, "You cannot participate without a signature."

"This isn't so much a contract as a life and death agreement, right?"

Jiang Li flipped through the regulations and couldn't help but complain.

The regulations clearly inform participants that death may occur during the competition. If you still intend to participate despite knowing this, please sign your name.

"The organizers also face various difficulties."

Upon hearing this, Shinguji Kurono spread his hands helplessly.

"There have been numerous instances in the past where participating students have died, leading to outrage from parents, public condemnation, and overwhelming media outrage. Without addressing these prerequisites, there's no way we can hold the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival."

Lessons from the past, the teacher behind the car.

That’s why the organizers came up with this regulation, so that even if a death occurs, they won’t be condemned too much.

After all, in a violent competition like this, there is no way there will be no risk of casualties.

No matter how hard you try to protect something, accidents will always happen.

"Can ordinary students really handle this kind of thing?"

Jiang Li expressed doubts about this.

Except for Wu Qu Academy and Po Jun Academy, the representative players of other schools are designated by the school. Their only advantage is their high level and strong ability. They have basically never experienced decent battles.

If you are told right from the start that there is a risk of death, most students would probably be worried from the start and want to quit, right?

"If you can't even take this little risk, you don't deserve to be a Felling Sword Knight."

Dongtang Daohua smiled fearlessly.

She picked up the pen on the table and signed her name very naturally.

If you count carefully, this is her third time participating in the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival this year. She usually accepts emergency dispatches from the alliance and has faced terrorists several times. This kind of competition can't scare her.

Jiang Li followed closely behind and signed his name as well.

"Okay, that's how we can get on the list."

Shinguji Kurono filled in the two people's names on the registration form and sent it to the management committee via the Internet.

"By the way, take a look at this list. This year's Seven Star Sword Dance Festival is very different from previous years!"

As she said this, she handed over a list.

It contained a list of all the schools and contestants participating in this year's Seven Star Sword Dance Festival.

Among all the schools, Akatsuki Academy has the largest number of students.

Akatsuki Academy was born from the Seven Stars Academy. Originally consisting of seven members, with the withdrawal of Nagi Suin, the number has been reduced to six. However, each of them is formidable, especially Kurogane Ouma, Shinomiya Amane, and Sarah Bradley. Each of them is at least an A-rank Bladewielder, making them a formidable opponent this time!

Then there are Pojun Academy and Muqu Academy, the two academies are on par with each other, and both have become five people due to Akatsuki's withdrawal.

Among the contestants from Wuqu Academy are the top three contestants from the previous Seven Star Sword Dance Festival, and they are quite powerful.

The remaining five Seven Star Academies divided the remaining number equally.

"Wait, there are only 32 people this year?"

Jiang Li calculated the total number of people.

The remaining five schools have a total of only 16 people, which means that on average there are less than four people per school.

Each school sends 6 representative contestants, and in the past there were at least 42 students participating in the competition.

“That’s what’s happened this year.”

Shinguji Kurono lay back in the chair, looking much more relaxed.

The awakening of Dongtang Daohua and the return of Jiang Li made her more confident.

"The story of your battle with Akatsuki Academy a few days ago has already spread all over the internet. Now the whole society is paying attention to this year's Seven Star Sword Dance Festival, even the foreign media are no exception!"

Because the Prime Minister is involved in the behind-the-scenes of Akatsuki Academy.

There are also rumors that the students of Akatsuki Academy were recruited from terrorist organizations.

This caused panic among some people, and they demanded online that this year's Seven Star Sword Dance Festival be cancelled.

Of course, the Prime Minister himself denied it flatly. He insisted that the origins of everyone in Akatsuki Academy were very clean, and he seized the righteous cause of "taking back the educational sovereignty of the Swordbreakers" and successfully attracted the support of a large number of people.

Now, public opinion across the entire island nation is focused on the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival in two days.

The admission of Akatsuki Academy is essentially a game between the island nation's government and the alliance headquarters. All success or failure will be decided at the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival.

"Leaving aside Wu Qu Academy, most of the students from other schools saw terrorists for the first time, let alone such terrifying terrorists."

Shinguji Kurono explained, "After watching the video, anyone who saw the entire Pojun Academy helpless against the terrorists would be shocked. That's why one or two people from each school abstained... Although this incident itself is a huge shame for us!"

The opponent is a terrorist, so it is natural that we cannot defeat him.

It is normal to think this way, but there are too many abnormal people on the Internet, and many people mock Pojun Academy for being garbage!

The reason why no one gave up at Wuqu Academy was because the school itself had a strong martial arts culture, and there were actual combat selections every year, so the students had extremely strong psychological qualities.

"In short, we urgently need to use this Seven Star Sword Dance Festival to prove ourselves and wash away the shame we have suffered."

A fierce smile appeared on Shinguji Kurono's face.

"You guys should get ready too. We'll set off tomorrow afternoon to the venue of the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival!"

She won't follow.

As one of the top swordsmiths of the younger generation on the island nation, she also performs other important duties in the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival and will go to the venue alone.

"Once we get there, Dao Hua, the head of the delegation, will be in charge of all matters."

"Regarding this matter, Chairman, I have a suggestion."

At this time, Dongtang Daohua suddenly spoke.

"I think it would be more appropriate for my junior brother to be the head of the delegation."

"Oh? Why did you say that?"

Shinguji Heinai raised his eyebrows.

Jiang Li also cast a surprised look at his senior sister.

"Junior brother is the strongest in Pojun Academy. This should be the consensus of many people now."
