Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends

All four draw matches have concluded by noon, and now it's time for the highly anticipated "battle of the two prodigies."

After two rounds of competition, both Imperial Capital Academy and Pearl Academy had a general understanding of each other's strengths and would no longer be complacent.

Lu Zhenghe and Mo Fan, in particular, received special attention because they both possessed warrior-level summoned beasts.

Currently, we only have information on the participants who will be playing in the morning; the rest will need to be learned during the competition.

After finishing their meal and resting for a while, everyone returned to the dueling arena.

The stands were packed, filled with screams and shouts, adding to the excitement of the upcoming match.

Students and teachers from the other six universities sat in the rest area, and even teachers or professors from the capital university arrived, awaiting this earth-shattering battle for reputation.

The students of Mingzhu Academy sat quietly in the rest area, closing their eyes to rest and adjust to their best state.

Just as they were preparing, Lu Yiming and the head referee slowly walked over, and the latter said...

"Everyone, let me first explain the competition rules."

Gu Han stepped forward and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"We already confirmed the competition rules this morning, why do we need to confirm them again?"

Lu Yiming stepped forward, looked at Gu Han, and explained with a smile.

"Actually, to increase the entertainment value and fairness, we plan to use a best-of-three format for this afternoon's match."

"Best of three?!"

The students from Mingzhu Academy were taken aback, not expecting that the rules would be changed and that it would no longer be the original two team competitions.

At this moment, Zhao Manyan raised his hand and asked in confusion.

"Um, Teacher Lu, since we're going to have a best-of-three series, it seems like we don't have enough players for the third round. Are we going to have the same people play again?"

Mu Nujiao also asked, her voice filled with concern.

“That’s right. If someone who has already played before plays again, their mana definitely won’t be enough to sustain them for the entire match.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Yiming chuckled, waved his hand, and said in a calm tone.

"Of course we have taken this into consideration, so the last game of the three will be a one-on-one individual battle between the two team captains, while the first two games will still be team matches."

Upon hearing the new rules, everyone turned their attention to Captain Mo Xie, since the final round was an individual battle in which the captain would participate.

Mo Xie didn't speak, but instead lowered her head to ponder the purpose of changing the rules.

Then, he looked up and said with a smile.

"Of course, no problem. I would be honored to face the captain of your esteemed school's exchange student team, but..."

Seeing that Mo Xie smiled without saying a word, Lu Yiming asked.

"Is there something troubling you, Mo Xie?"

"There are no difficulties, but I have a question."

Mo Xie shook his head, his gaze fixed on Lu Yiming and the referee, a curious smile slowly appearing on his face as he asked softly.

"Teacher Lu, a best-of-three format means the first person to win two rounds wins. If our Mingzhu Academy wins the first two rounds, is there still a need for the third round?"

The moment these words were spoken, the air seemed to freeze, filled with an atmosphere of impending conflict.

The students at Mingzhu Academy were completely taken aback when Mo Xie, who was usually low-key, uttered such domineering words. Coupled with his incredibly confident smile and tone, his leadership qualities were unmistakable.

Upon seeing this, the three girls in the team couldn't help but reveal admiration and affection in their beautiful eyes.

Mo Xie looks so handsome...! Qiu Yuhua and Gu Han exchanged a glance, both nodding with smiles, without saying a word to stop him.

In their eyes, this is the confidence that Mingzhu Academy should have!
Lu Yiming was slightly taken aback, his smile stiffened for a moment, and his lips twitched for a moment before he spoke.

“What Mo Xie said makes some sense. Don’t worry, we’re just having a friendly spar. We must achieve the goal of exchanging ideas. Even if one side wins both of the first two matches, the captain’s individual battle in the third match will still continue.”

"Then I have no further questions. Thank you, Professor Lu."

Finally, Lu Yiming didn't linger and left the rest area of ​​Mingzhu Academy with a sense of frustration.

After Lu Yiming and the referee left, Mo Xie's calm smile disappeared, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

Gu Han frowned, turned to look at Mo Xie, and asked.

"The Imperial Academy has suddenly requested a change to the rules, which means that the lineup we arranged last night needs to be changed. The most fatal thing is the absence of Mo Xie."

"Mo Xie, you arranged the lineup last night, so what do you think we should do now?"

Indeed, the lineup was originally well-balanced, but it became somewhat difficult after losing a strong damage dealer.

After a moment of contemplation, Mo Xie raised his head, looked at Zheng Bingxiao, and said with a smile.

"Zheng Bingxiao, it seems we'll need you to participate in today's competition. Is that alright?"

"Of course, no problem, I'll do my best."

Zheng Bingxiao gave a kind smile and said earnestly.

Keep it up... I don't think so.

Zheng Bingxiao was not selected in the original lineup. It wasn't that he wasn't good enough, but that he gave his spot to someone else.

However, Mo Xie was not very satisfied with this lukewarm attitude. Although he could understand the intention to hide his strength, he thought it best to obediently serve him at this time.

Looks like we'll have to add some serious ingredients...

Then, Mo Xie smiled and looked at Gu Han, asking a question.

"Mr. Gu Han, I wonder if the school will give us any rewards if we really win the first two matches?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Han was taken aback at first, but then he understood Mo Xie's intention, smiled and nodded, patting his chest to assure him.

"Don't worry, as your teacher, I assure you that if you win all the matches, I will definitely ask Dean Xiao for a generous reward for you."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed, replaced by excitement and exhilaration, as if a surge of power was welling up within them.

Seeing that Zheng Bingxiao's attitude had changed somewhat, Mo Xie smiled almost imperceptibly, feeling a surge of confidence.

Originally, he was supposed to bring Luo Song, Shen Mingxiao, and Bai Zangfeng to the first match, since the combination of these three might not necessarily have the effect of one plus one plus one equals three.

If it weren't for him leading the team, the first game would most likely have been over, and they would have simply prepared for the second game.

However, since Zheng Bingxiao is willing to help, I don't need to worry too much.

He knew that the opponent possessed a warrior-level contracted beast, and with this trump card, the Imperial Capital Academy might not necessarily win.

Mo Xie, with a serious expression, stared at Luo Song, Shen Mingxiao, and Bai Zangfeng, and spoke earnestly.

"You should understand the importance of this competition. We practiced yesterday, and I don't want the awards to be canceled because of some personal issues, so you should understand."

The three nodded. They weren't people who didn't know their place; they knew they had to put other things aside in the face of such a generous reward.

Mo Xie looked around, observing everyone's expressions, and a confident smile appeared on her lips.

"Alright, let the Imperial Capital Academy witness the strength of our Pearl Academy!" (End of Chapter)
