Chapter 161 Opening Game
The next day, the World Academy Competition officially began. Representatives of all the major magic organizations in the world, the magic associations of the five continents, magic representatives of various countries, the Parthenon, the Holy Inquisition, the Hunter Union, world-famous families, etc., all the prestigious and famous representatives gathered in Venice.
The eyes of the whole world were also cast here, watching the live broadcast as the national team members from 32 countries appeared one after another. Their young faces and vigorous state impressed everyone in front of the TV, letting everyone know that this world belongs to the young.
"First of all, we warmly welcome the arrival of representatives from the Magic Associations of the Five Continents, the Mage Group of the Temple of Freedom, the Parthenon Organization, the Holy Court, the Hunters' Union, and the Forbidden City Magic..."
First of all, at the opening ceremony, the President of Venice was the first to come out and give a speech, with a lot of compliments.
After the opening ceremony, it was time for the National Government Battle. First, the captains of each National Government team came on stage to draw lots to see which two teams would face off next.
"Ai Jiangtu, you are the captain, you go."
Feng Kai opened his mouth and said that usually the captains of each national team would go on stage to draw lots, because they all had persuasiveness and leadership skills in the team.
But Ai Jiangtu glanced at Bai Feng, because the strongest person in the team might be Bai Feng, but Bai Feng is not well-known in China. He may be very popular, but not everyone knows his face.
Therefore, it is Ai Jiangtu who has to come up to draw lots, because he is still the leading figure in the country.
"Why are you looking at me? You are the captain!"
Bai Feng glanced at the hesitant Ai Jiangtu, and couldn't understand why he was still hesitating. If his country saw it, they would think that the Chinese government team was afraid to go on stage to draw lots!
Ai Jiangtu was choked for a moment, but didn't say anything. He stood up and straightened his appearance, his back straight, his face full of the seriousness and solemnity of a soldier!
When the drawing ceremony was over, Ai Jiangtu came back with the number plate with a strange look on his face. Everyone was puzzled, and after figuring out the situation, they all looked strange.
Because their opponent in the opening match was none other than the Sakura Country, which was living a pretty good life, and everyone on the Sakura Country seemed to have gotten a huge bargain and were dancing with excitement.
Although their country's ranking has lagged behind in the past two years, it is not to be regarded as a soft persimmon by others.
"Are they... celebrating?"
Jiang Yu looked at the members of the Sakura Country government with a strange expression, who were looking extremely excited.
"Should...should, right?"
Zhao Manyan also had a strange look on his face. How could you guys act like you've already won before the fight even started? Aren't you afraid of losing face in the stinking ditch?
You really have never seen the underworld!!!
"I'll be the first one to go on stage. If they can last one minute, I'll do a handstand and have diarrhea!!!"
Bai Feng looked at the other party's disdain, contempt, and complacency, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, and he spoke in a neutral tone.
"I'll do it too. I'm going to beat them up! Damn! They're so damn arrogant!"
Mo Fan spat fiercely and pinched his fingers, making a crackling sound.
"I just don't understand where their confidence comes from, it seems like they have never defeated us once!"
Zhao Manyan was puzzled. Wasn’t he abused enough before?
"Who knows!"
……
……
On the other side, the members of the Sakura National Government, who were still happy to meet the Chinese team in the first game, were suddenly interrupted by their leader, Koike Shoko. "Have you... known the members of the Chinese National Government this time?"
"Teacher Koike Shoko! There's no need for us to understand a Huaguo Guofu team that can't even make it into the top eight!"
A short and ugly man spoke nonchalantly.
"That's right, that's right, this country called the descendants of the dragon has long been backward!"
Koike Shoko sighed helplessly. No matter what she said, this group of people would not care at all. This first embarrassment might be a big loss!
…………
…………
"Alright, be quiet. For the first match, Lin Yun'er, Mu Nujiao, Dongfang Lie, Li Kaifeng, and Jiang Yu, the five of you go ahead!"
Grand Instructor Feng Li began to make tactical arrangements, but just as he finished, he was interrupted by the arrogant girl Mu Tingying.
"Teacher, let me play, I will definitely perform well!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Feng Li's face turned a little dark, because he hated being interrupted the most.
"You, just wait until your injury is healed."
In fact, Mu Tingying and Nan Rongni’s injuries had healed long ago, but Feng Li just used them to make a fuss.
Mu Tingying, who was unwilling to give up, looked at Nan Rongni again, wanting her to join in saying nice things and begging for mercy. They had gone through so much hardship to get here, not to sit on the sidelines!
Unexpectedly, Nan Rong Ni nodded obediently, pretending to obey the organization's orders and said:
"It's all up to the instructor."
Mu Tingying was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She could only stamp her feet in anger and sit back in her seat.
"Teacher, we have to fight well in the first match! There is no need to hide our strength deliberately. Besides, no matter how hard we try to hide, other countries may have already figured out most of the strength of everyone present!"
Bai Feng spoke at this time, and Feng Li couldn't help but frown after hearing it, thinking about the logic of what Bai Feng said.
Just when the atmosphere was quiet, an old but powerful voice came from the gate. Everyone looked and saw Pang Lai, who was wearing a Forbidden City wizard robe, walking in from the gate. At this time, he was looking at everyone with a kind smile!
"Old Feng! This young friend is right. If we want to fight, we must fight well. Look at how some small countries are trying to touch our beards. We must show our country's strength!"
When Jiang Yu saw the old man, he stepped forward and bowed respectfully, then called out:
"teacher!"
"Chief, why are you here?"
Feng Li stood up and responded, then nodded and said:
"I understand, Chief. Then Bai Feng, Jiang Shaoxu, Mo Fan, Mu Nujiao, and Zhao Manyan, the five of you should go up. You must fight hard and beautifully. Don't bring shame to the country!"
"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!"
The five people whose names were called spoke at the same time, with great momentum, exuding the youthful vigor!
The rest of the people looked at the five people with envy. After all, this was the opening match and there would definitely be a lot of people paying attention to it. If they fought well in this battle, everyone in the country would remember them and their reputation would rise!
