I rely on myself

Chapter 295 The Night Party Opens

At the Walpurgis Royal Academy of Mechanics, the much-anticipated opening ceremony of the 49th Gala is about to begin.

At dusk, on the huge grass square behind the central lecture hall of the Mechanical Academy, tall white stone pillars surrounded the place like Stonehenge, just like the Colosseum in Rome. Although it was not as bloody as there, it was not much different here.

In the huge square, hundreds of glove holders, all in formal attire, were standing in neat rows waiting. From a distance, they looked like a well-organized army, full of momentum.

In addition to the college staff who were responsible for maintaining the normal progress of the night party, there were also many students gathered here to watch.

Although only the glove holders were obliged to attend the opening ceremony of the night party, the number of participants still seemed to easily exceed a thousand people.

For those students who are not qualified to participate, although they will no longer have the chance to attend the night party, it is still a rare and grand ceremony that is worth their enjoyment.

Therefore, here, not only are there many students gathering around, but other college communities have also set up stalls here, and the surroundings are decorated like a celebration, just like some kind of entertainment activity that makes people linger.

Lin Yuan also came here early to wait, standing in the front row of the glove holders. Although he was very reluctant to participate in these opening ceremonies, he had no choice but to attend due to the regulations.

Since he was only here to attend the opening ceremony and it was far from his turn to take the stage, he only had two Heroic Spirit dolls with him: Arthur and Karna. But even with that, their aura was overwhelming.

No one could ignore the extraordinary aura of the two Heroic Spirit puppets. Some of the lower-ranked people even showed expressions of retreat, as if they realized the huge gap between the two sides.

Lin Yuan also showed a bored expression, which made some of the glove holders around him feel despised. They all looked at Lin Yuan with malicious eyes. If they could take action, they would definitely not be polite and teach Lin Yuan a lesson.

Of course Lin Yuan ignored it. It was just a look of this magnitude, and certainly couldn't cause any fluctuations in his heart.

As everyone waited, time passed by little by little.

Just before dusk around six o'clock, the dean appeared at the right moment at the front of the team, on a podium one step above the ground.

"I am Edward Rutherford, president of the Royal School of Mechanical Engineering at Walpurgis."

As soon as his figure appeared, the dean declared this in a powerful voice. At the same time, the powerful aura and presence emanating from him were like an invisible pressure, causing all the noisy sounds around to disappear in an instant.

"The Night Party is a grand ceremony in the world of mechanical magic, the highest ceremony recognized by the Magicians Association. It has been held forty-eight times so far, and a total of forty-eight Demon Kings have been born and walked the world."

The dean's voice slowly spread.

"As the most outstanding beings of their time, these demon kings have made many great contributions to this world after leaving it."

"Some of them have become the strongest bulwark to protect the country."

"Some of them have made many inventions that have benefited the world."

"The development of the world cannot be separated from the knowledge of the Demon King."

"The progress of civilization is inseparable from the contribution of the Demon King."

"It is precisely because of this that the Association recognizes the legitimacy of the Night Club and grants it the right to decide the Demon King, allowing the Demon King to not abide by the International Magic Charter and the Code of Ethics for Magicians, to give full play to their talents, conduct research, inventions, and explorations, and eventually gradually uncover the truth of the magic world, allowing mankind to continuously improve."

The dean's eyes swept over the glove holders present one by one.

"Among you, the forty-ninth demon king in history will be born."

"Your path may be different from that of the previous demon king."

"You all have various reasons for choosing to be here."

"But there is only one thing that never changes."

"That is, you need to prove that you are the best, most powerful, and most authoritative in this era."

At this point, the dean suddenly smiled. "I look forward to your active participation and discussions."

This is the end of the dean's speech.

However, the eyes of the glove holders present were burning with unprecedented fighting spirit, and many of them even felt their blood boiling.

Obviously, the dean's speech completely ignited the desires of these contestants.

The desire to be the strongest, to get privileges, to prove oneself, to be superior to others.

It can be seen that after such a passionate speech, the already intense night party will probably become even more intense.

Following the president's speech, there was an oath-taking ceremony for the party participants. Needless to say, the representative was the current No. 1 in the academy - Magnus.

Under the various gazes of everyone present, Magnus calmly walked up to the podium with six team girls who were all wearing Gothic Lolita costumes.

The head of the academy quietly looked at the students below. For a moment, the corner of his eye fell on Lei Zhen, but of course it was very concealed and was not noticed by others.

Then, Magnus' oath echoed.

"We who have gathered in Walpurgis are willing to shed blood to protect the flame of magic."

Magnus clenched his hand into a fist, placed it in front of his chest, closed his eyes, and slowly swore an oath.

"If you don't become a king, you will become nothing."

"If you don't succeed, you will die."

"We swear to fight with truth."

The oath is completed.

"beep----!"

The band, which had been prepared, played loud trumpets.

"Clap clap clap!"

At the same time, a group of white doves were released and flew into the sky as the sun set.

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

The students watching responded with warm applause and cheers, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-"

The clock tower in the distance also rang loudly as if it had chosen the right moment to announce something.

"The 49th session of The Twilight of Walpurgis is now open!"

The dean's announcement resounded through the sky, causing all glove holders to take out their gloves, place them in front of their chests, and then put them on again.

With this, the opening ceremony has ended.

The people on the grass square also dispersed in all directions, emptying the entire venue.

What is about to begin is the first battle of the night party, and the night party will begin at this moment.
