--- 【In the Realm of Real Education, I Have a Love Monologue】 Chapter 68: The Academy Tournament Begins, Lianxing Takes the Stage!! 【Lunar Catastrophe, Danger Level: Ten Stars!!】 "......" "......" "What, Ten Stars!!?" Upon seeing this piece of intelligence, the little fox's expression became remarkably animated. You must understand, when a royal-tier entity goes berserk and devastates surrounding states, resulting in billions of casualties, it usually only garners a two or three-star danger rating, indicating a threat level that could ruin nearby territories. The reason she was able to become the warden of White Moon State was due to her once resolving a three-star incident. So, what does ten stars signify!? When a ten-star disaster appears, it means that in this world, any organization, every power, and all forms of life must immediately evacuate the area of the ten-star calamity, even a renowned monarch could not be exempt. Because, when facing the terror of a ten-star rating, ranks lose their meaning. Not even an emperor can provide rescue!!! After all, that calamitous fallen king of the Demonic race was only rated eight stars...... "20 minutes, the terrifying beast was defeated in just 20 minutes? How could such an existence be possible in this world...!!!" "Wait a minute, if it's an ancient being, then it all makes sense......" "However, this development means the situation has become dire......" Calming herself after the initial shock, the little fox frowned with concern. The moment the third-ranked state Underdark Sea sank, half of the Calamity's members all entered random portals, transporting them randomly across the world, causing immense chaos and slaughter. The higher-tier wardens were all focused on those randomly appearing emperors, naturally leaving them no time to deal with the remnants of the royal-tier forces. Now, with no backup available, the entire White Moon State was left with her as the sole royal-tier overseer...... If the remnants of that calamitous royal-tier entity were to suddenly appear and wreak havoc...... The consequences would be unimaginable!!!!!!! By that point, not to mention the temporary halt of the academy tournament, even the land of White Moon State could turn to dust...... Her promotion plans would evaporate too!! Before long, the little fox's face was soaked with cold sweat. The more she thought about it, the more fearful she became. She quickly picked up her phone and sent a text message to the head of Phantom Sea Academy. "Little Secretary, I heard that ten years ago, your Phantom Sea Academy had a super student who won five consecutive championships in the tournament and is now doing a governance internship in the nearby eighth-ranked state?" "Shouldn't you invite her to attend this year's academy tournament?" "The old fans in White Moon State would surely be thrilled~~~~" "......" "......" "Ma'am, is this about the Calamity situation?" "I'll consider it~~~~" At the headquarters of the White Moon State Beast Association, the little fox was quite pleased with her clever excuse, but the reply she received shut her up swiftly. Impressive, as a warden, she had only just received this intel, yet Phantom Sea Academy already had such vast connections....... Nonetheless, the little fox couldn't voice her frustrations. After all, the ancestor bloodline of Phantom Sea Academy could be traced back to the Holy Domain·Sea Concubine Pavilion from tens of thousands of years ago. Though it was just a thin bloodline left by one of the peripheral beasts, it was still a lineage that had once emerged from the Holy Domain, a world beyond her royal-tier comprehension. "Forget it, I'll leave it to fate......" "If the promotion fails this time, I might have to abandon the warden path and go back home to see if there's a suitable match for me~~" After much indecision, the little fox sighed in resignation. Beneath the royal tier, all are ants. Currently, she was barely able to take care of herself and the Beast Association headquarters, how could she have the strength to defend the outer regions of White Moon State? --- Two days flew by in the blink of an eye. With hundreds of billions of viewers eagerly anticipating, the White Moon State Academy Tournament, a spectacle awaited by all, was finally about to begin. Dozens of airships, each emblazoned with different academy insignias, had arrived in the city hosting the Beast Association headquarters a day prior. The city was bustling with activity, and the markets and tourist attractions were crammed to the seams. Only those with tickets could enter the city, with any unauthorized entrants immediately expelled. Though the official venue for the academy tournament had a capacity for one million spectators, summoning beasts beyond the juvenile form was strictly forbidden. Without exception, unless they were participants, everyone had to ensure their beasts remained in their juvenile form at all times. At this very moment, in an expansive airship landing zone, an orange-haired girl wearing a White Maple Academy uniform was moving around with a streaming setup. "Everyone, do you see behind me? That’s the exclusive welcoming area for the Ten Head Academy~~~" "Only airships from the Ten Heads can land here~~~" "What, you’re asking why I'm here?" "Of course, it’s because I’m a member of the Ten Heads as well~~~~" Facing the streaming camera, the nimble-fingered Little Kui struck a proud peace sign. However, instead of the praise she expected, the comment section was filled with mockery: Who asked you? As for the other members of White Maple Academy, embarrassed by her antics, they had left the scene early on. Yet, some viewers were thrilled with Little Kui's stream, as it allowed them to see the star participants before the tournament officially began. After a tediously long ten-minute wait following White Maple Academy's arrival, the second Ten Head team finally made their entrance. Under Little Kui's streaming lens, the luxurious airship bearing the name "Dark River Academy" slowly opened its cabin doors, and a line of elegant girls in black and yellow robes stepped out one by one. At that moment, every eye was fixed on a bewitching girl with a black scorpion braid, her makeup dramatically heavy with deep red eye shadow accentuating her corners, exuding a beauty that seemed to hold a dark tale. Feeling the cold aura of this girl, Little Kui had goosebumps rising all over her skin, struggling to suppress her fear as she explained. "The fourth seat of the Ten Heads, the captain of Dark River Academy, Chi Lin, is a name everyone should be familiar with, right?" "That's correct, she’s the most formidable beast tamer in White Moon State specializing in throwing formations!!!" "In last year’s quarter-finals, she wiped out the entire Sunset Rain Academy team with just a single throw, and the Flash Princess of unparalleled speed never even caught a glimpse of a Dark River member!!!" "Compared to her unbeatable throwing formations, the so-called strongest Moonlight Rabbit is just a pile of......" "Wait and see, when the strongest Moonlight Rabbit faces a true master, it’ll shatter in an instant!!!" "Uh, as for the people following Captain Chi Lin...... forgot them, skip skip——" Following Little Kui's controversial instigation, not only did it incite a barrage of criticism in the livestream, but it also earned the ire of all Dark River Academy members. Still, Little Kui, who had begun targeting a black-scaled route, paid no mind to her online persona’s cyber-watchers. Even negative publicity is good publicity, as long as there are clicks!~~~~ Besides, that strongest Moonlight Rabbit has been gaining followers so crazily fast...... Previously, when Little Kui was bored, she checked the strongest Moonlight Rabbit’s account and found their follower count had skyrocketed past 500k, even outdoing her own!!! Mind you, Lianxing never went live, didn’t endorse any products, nor posted any photos of her slender, white legs. Half a minute later, almost simultaneously with Dark River Academy’s airship, the Sunset Rain Academy airship also arrived at the scene. Watching the stunning girl with a purple princess hairstyle disembark, Little Kui immediately shifted her prior sharp critique into extravagant praise. "Ahhhhh, Lady Lei Ji, I'm your loyal fan!!!" "Everyone, those who know me understand how much I've adored Sunset Rain Academy since last year!!" "The Flash Princess is truly the higher evolution of the Thunder Violet, the ultimate goal after the Thunder Violet!!!" "So, if Lady Lei Ji could buy me just for once, it’d be amazing~~~~" Needless to say, following Little Kui's delusional fantasies, the livestream audience jumpstarted another wave of chaos. An ugly frog dreaming of tasting swan meat? How could someone selling themselves dare tarnish the noble and perfect Lady Lei Ji!? A broken shoe deserves another, trash like Little Kui should just group with Wind God Academy's #4 and debut locally, being banned by officials swiftly would be ideal~~~~ Half an hour later, under Little Kui’s relentless sharp reviews, nearly all Ten Heads academies had been dragged into online feuds. Second seat of the Ten Heads, Polar Academy—Yao Xian. Fourth seat of the Ten Heads, Dark River Academy—Chi Lin. Fifth seat of the Ten Heads, Skyward Academy—Xing Hong. Sixth seat of the Ten Heads, Sunset Rain Academy—Lei Ji. Seventh seat of the Ten Heads, Earth Repository Academy, previous Ten Heads have graduated. Eighth Seat of the Ten Heads, Iron Rest Academy—Sky Tomb. Ninth Seat of the Ten Heads, White Maple Academy—Aurora. Tenth Seat of the Ten Heads, Volcano Academy—Purgatory.
