Chapter 48 "Phoenix Star Martial Festival"

On this day, the entire Asterisk became the venue for a large-scale celebration.

"Bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-"

Fireworks continued to bloom in the sky, and countless colorful ribbons and pieces fell from the sky and scattered in every corner of the city.

The streets and alleys were decorated with lights and colorful flags, and event posters were posted everywhere. With people shouting and cheering, the atmosphere of the whole event was instantly boosted.

Foreign tourists continue to enter Asterisk, some come to watch the Phoenix Star Martial Festival games, and some take advantage of the Phoenix Star Martial Festival to travel and souvenir, so that there are people coming and going and traffic everywhere.

Especially in the central area and commercial district, the flow of people is the highest, which almost caused crowding.

Under this circumstance, Asterisk has also issued relevant regulations, prohibiting vehicles from entering the main streets of the central area and commercial district, and students in the city are strictly prohibited from dueling on the streets during the Star Martial Festival. Violators will be severely punished.

At the Sirius Dome, a comprehensive main stage located near the center of the Asterisk central area, the opening ceremony of the Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival is being held.

"It's so big! There are so many people...!"

Toudou Qilin, who was standing next to Aize, looked frightened. Her petite body huddled beside Aize like a frightened bird.

“It’s really big…”

Aize glanced at Toto Qilin who was curled up into a ball. Looking at the other person's upper body that was about to burst out due to the strong pressure of the body, which was curled up because of nervousness, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he quickly looked around.

The stage of the Sirius Dome is extremely spacious. Not only can it easily accommodate all the contestants of this Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival, allowing everyone to line up neatly to watch the opening ceremony here, but there are also spectator seats that are said to be able to accommodate nearly 100,000 people, so that Aize needs to look up to see the audience above.

If someone looked down from the top floor of the auditorium, they probably wouldn't be able to see Aize.

At this time, the auditorium was packed with people who came to watch the opening ceremony, making the entire Sirius Dome appear packed.

However, people were not too noisy.

Because, right now, someone is giving a speech at a podium at the top of the stage.

"I am the chairman of the Star Warrior Festival Operations Committee, Mathias Mesa."

The person who was giving a speech to everyone present in such a clear and steady voice was a man in his prime.

The man was about thirty-five years old, with a sturdy appearance and a cheerful tone. He exuded a leisurely and calm aura. He seemed a little out of tune, but no one dared to underestimate him.

The Operations Committee is the organization that coordinates the Star Wars Festival, and the chairman of the Operations Committee is the highest person in charge of the Star Wars Festival. The person who can sit in this position is undoubtedly a cadre of the integrated corporate consortium. In terms of position and power, the other party is much higher than Toudou Kirin's uncle.

“…Is he Mathias Mesa?”

Aize stared at the other person.

He could feel a vague sense of oppression and a fleeting aura of powerful star power from the other person.

This told Aize that the other party was definitely not an ordinary person with only power like Toto Koichirō, but a master whose strength was not inferior to any active Star Wars Festival contestant.

Of course, this is not the main reason why Aize pays special attention to the other party.

"Ok?"

Aize, who was staring at the other person, suddenly had a change of expression.

Just now, for a moment, Mathias on the podium seemed to glance at him.

Although it was only a moment so brief that it could be mistaken for an illusion, Aize had been paying attention to the other person and was sure that he was not mistaken.

"So, I'm also in that person's sight?"

Aize muttered to himself in a low voice, and even Toudou Qilin beside him didn't hear it.

After Mathias finished his speech, several other people came up to the stage to give speeches. They all seemed to be some high-ranking officials in Asterisk, including the mayor of Asterisk.

Listening to these people's speeches, not only did Aize feel bored, even Toto Qilin felt drowsy and almost fell on Aize.

It was a boring opening ceremony that lasted until almost noon before it finally ended.

It was not until then that a broadcast was heard from above the Sirius Dome.

"Please arrive at the competition venue within the specified time for today's contestants."

Hearing this broadcast, many contestants on the stage hurriedly left.

The preliminaries of the Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival will be held on eleven stages in total, with the Sirius Dome being just one of them. Therefore, many contestants will need to go to their own competition venues before the competition begins, and only those competing in the Sirius Dome will stay here. "Our competition venue is right here."

In one of the corridors of the venue, Toto Kirin walked closely beside Aize, opening the schedule for the final confirmation while saying this with a sigh of relief.

There was no other way. During the Star Warrior Festival, the city streets were too crowded. If we needed to move to another stage, we would have to go outside and squeeze with the crowd.

This was really difficult for the shy Toudou Qilin, not to mention that whenever this girl walked on the street, there were always some people who couldn't help but reach out their claws to her...

If it weren't for the fact that violence was strictly prohibited during the Star Martial Festival, Aize would have wanted to break the hands of these bastards instead of simply stopping them.

With something like this happening, Toto Kirin naturally didn't want to go out on the streets.

Fortunately, the match between the two seemed to be regarded as the highlight by the Operations Committee, so it was arranged in the most conspicuous Sirius Dome without having to move to other stages.

"We had a match on the first day. I don't know whether to say it's good luck or bad luck."

Aize looked at his relieved partner, smiled and said this.

The first week of the Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival is the preliminaries, which consist of three rounds.

The first round will last for four days, with thirty-three games each day. After one hundred and twenty-eight games, half of the 256 groups of contestants participating in the Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival will be eliminated, leaving only 128 groups to enter the second round.

The second round will last for two days, with 32 games each day. After 64 games, the top 64 will be decided and will enter the third round.

The third round will be completed within one day, with a total of 32 games. After the top 32 are decided, it will be time to wait for the official schedule of the second week.

Now is the first round of competition, and this round will last for four full days, so not everyone will compete today.

The match between Aize and Todo Qilin was on the first day, and the venue was the Sirius Dome.

"As long as we finish today's game, we will have three full days of free time. Even if we are scheduled to play the second round on the second day, we will have four days to rest."

Aize smiled at Toudou Qilin and said, "It will be a lot easier after today. If you don't want to go out on the street, we can train in the academy."

"Ok, ok, thank you for your help, Senior Aze."

Toudou Qilin lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly.

Looking at the little head so close to him, Aize felt eager inside, and finally he couldn't help it, he reached out and touched the girl's head.

"what……"

Toudou Qilin seemed a little frightened, and her face turned red after she realized what was happening, but she did not show any intention of resisting.

The girl had no idea that this was what Aize was thinking at this moment...

"I don't feel anything special. Why do those male protagonists like to touch girls' heads?"

It's really to pick up girls, right?

Got it...()

"The second group of the first round of the L zone competition is about to begin. Please go to the contestant area and wait."

At this time, the sound of the broadcast reached the ears of Aize and Toto Qilin, waking up the two people whose atmosphere had become a little subtle.

"L Zone, first round, second group..."

Aize withdrew his hand and glanced at the schedule.

"It's us, Senior."

Toudou Qilin had already confirmed it and spoke directly.

"It's really fast." Aize sighed, then smiled and said, "In that case, let's make a quick decision."

Hearing this, Toudou Qilin immediately started laughing too.

"Yes, senior."

The girl's expression was no longer timid, but full of radiance.
