Chapter 556: Different Seals
Chapter 556: Different Seals
Qiao Sang fell silent for a few seconds before turning her head, her eyes filled with anticipation, and asked:
"Teacher, have you decided who will be the first to take the field?"
Gota and the others immediately focused their attention on her.
"Is there anyone who wants to go first?" Maggie countered.
"I do!"
"I want to."
"Me too!"
Several voices rang out simultaneously.
They looked at each other in silence, their eyes unwavering.
Being the first to take the field meant a guaranteed spot, while the other two would have to rely on luck. No one wanted to come all this way for nothing.
Maggie smiled slightly and said:
"Since everyone wants to go first, we'll follow the school's rules: the best gets the first chance."
The best? Qiao Sang's eyes lit up, and she straightened her back.
Just as she was about to boast about her past glorious achievements, Maggie continued, "Each of you report your credits, and the one with the highest will go first."
"???"
Qiao Sang's expression froze.
Wasn't this rule a bit unfair for someone who had just arrived as an exchange student?!
"I have 201." Pellegr spoke up first.
Hylis followed, "I have 459."
Gota smiled confidently, "I have 523."
Mabel said sheepishly, "I have 116."
Wait, these credits seem lower than mine... Qiao Sang's eyes grew brighter as she realized something significant.
"Qiao Sang, how many do you have?" Maggie asked.
Qiao Sang cleared her throat and said, "697."
The 94 credits she had initially, plus 500 for breaking the 30% barrier in the Brain Domain, and 100 more for passing the D-Rank Beastmaster evaluation and uploading the information, plus the 3 credits she earned from Mabel.
Now her total credits were 697.
This... Everyone's minds went blank.
An exchange student who had been at Sai Nan High School for less than a month had more credits than their two years of hard work?
Maggie wasn't surprised by this result.
He had known their respective credit counts when he received the list of students participating in the friendly match.
Letting the strongest student go first was a well-recognized fact.
Otherwise, Qiao Sang, an exchange student from Blue Star, wouldn't have been chosen.
In the silence, Maggie smiled and said, "Since Qiao Sang has the most credits, she will be the first to take the field."
Qiao Sang sincerely repented; she had been wrong. This rule was incredibly friendly to her!
Time passed slowly.
Qiao Sang noticed that many of the participants' familiars weren't particularly strong individually, but their teamwork produced surprising results.
For example, the current match on the field.
This group was quite interesting, with a significant size difference between the two sides' familiars.
One side had two familiars over two meters tall, looking quite fearsome, while the other side had two familiars only a few dozen centimeters tall, with cute appearances.
Judging by their looks and presence, it seemed the two-meter-tall familiars would win.
However, once the match began, the two cute familiars simultaneously used Enchantment, leaving the two larger familiars dazed and stopping their attacks.
Taking advantage of this, the two cute familiars launched their assault.
Despite not having strong attacks, they maintained the upper hand throughout the match.
Qiao Sang frowned inwardly. She had encountered the Enchantment skill in the National School Beastmaster League, where they had figured out Mimimime's gender and sent Lulu to the field.
But in a team battle, this method wouldn't work.
If the two familiars were one male and one female, sending anyone to the field would result in them being affected.
Is this the Enchantment strategy... Qiao Sang silently noted down the names of the two contestants who had Enchantment familiars.
Omar Ashur.
If everything goes as expected and this person wins, he is likely to become one of my next opponents.
After persisting for five minutes, the two familiars, both over two meters tall, predictably fell.
Both parties left the stage.
The large screen began to scroll.
Soon, the emblems of two schools appeared in the center.
One was a shield-shaped badge with a blue background and a crown in the middle, while the other was a circular badge with a red background and the legendary familiar, Lysamore, in the center.
Then, a voice came over the intercom:
"Manke Academy, Sai Nan High School, please send representatives to the stage."
At that moment, the entire venue erupted in cheers.
At Maggie's signal, Qiao Sang got up and walked toward the stage.
At the same time, she saw a tall girl with smooth blonde hair in the front row get up and walk onto the stage.
From the seats of Sai Nan High School, Gota frowned and said:
"Levina, she's actually here."
Pellegr said with interest:
"One is a leader in the coordination competition among peers, and the other is a prodigy in Familiar Battles. This match-up is quite intriguing."
After saying that, he turned and asked:
"Hylis, who do you think will win?"
"In a 1v1, Qiao Sang will definitely win. After all, she came here as an exchange student after winning the championship", Hylis said, looking at the blonde girl on stage. "But in a 2v2, it's hard to say. Many people have a significant difference in their performance between team battles and 1v1 matches."
"But doesn't Qiao Sang have experience in team battles?" Mabel countered. "Don't teachers usually select those with team battle experience?"
Hylis laughed and said:
"Qiao Sang was promoted directly from her sophomore year. Think about it, a sophomore who spends almost the entire semester participating in national-level matches—does she focus on training her familiar for individual battles or team battles?"
"Also, she is the champion of Familiar Battles, not the champion of Beastmaster team battles."
"During her journey here, she needed to spend over a month. Where would she find the time to train her familiar for team battles?"
"… That makes a lot of sense", Mabel said, speechless.
"Doesn't that mean she has no experience in team battles?" Gota frowned.
At this moment, Maggie asked with a smile:
"Did you know that Qiao Sang has several High-Class Beast Companions?"
If the students could think of it, their teacher wouldn't have overlooked it.
It's just that when one's strength reaches a certain level, some things are simply overlooked.
"Surely not three?" Hylis guessed jokingly.
Maggie smiled but didn't say anything.
Seeing the teacher's expression, Hylis, who had been smiling, suddenly froze.
He swallowed hard and cautiously asked again, "You don't mean it's really three, do you?"
The same question, but with a different tone.
Maggie smiled and said, "You guessed right."
The air suddenly became quiet.
Alva, who had been listening silently, was completely confused.
A sophomore?
Spent over a month on the way here?
No experience in team battles?
Three High-Class Beast Companions?
What exactly are they talking about?!
...
Meanwhile.
On the stage.
Fangy jumped from Qiao Sang's arms to the ground.
Qiao Sang made the hand signs, and the Amber Star Array lit up beside Fangy.
On the other side, Levina made the hand signs.
This was a completely different set of hand signs from Qiao Sang's.
Two Green Star Arrays lit up on the ground in front of her.
