Chương 286: IUD-CHAPTER 286 FESTA
(Translator- War Academy or Academy City—> Asterisk City)
"————'Festa.'"
It was a large-scale combat tournament hosted by the Integrated Enterprise Foundation.
Contestants were students from six academies and the participants had to be between the ages of 13 and 22.
Each academy from each student, had three chances to participate in 'Festa,' and they could choose to join any 'Festa' they wanted.
'Festa' occurred in seasons, with one competition held every year.
Moreover, each competition had a different format.
In other words, within a year, the Integrated Enterprise Foundation would organize three different 'Festas.'
The 'Phoenix Festa' involved teams of two.
The 'Gryph Festa' required groups of five to participate.
The 'Lindwurm Festa' was a solo battle.
These three 'Festas' were conducted in different ways, and the winners would have an opportunity to make a wish to the Integrated Enterprise Foundation.
At that time, all six Integrated Enterprise Foundations had to do their best to fulfill the wishes of the winners.
That was 'Festa.'
It could be said that the existence of the Asterisk City Rikka was primarily for 'Festa' rather than for the Genestellars, who were generally shunned by ordinary people.
After all, even though the Integrated Enterprise Foundation essentially ruled the world, they were corporations, not charities.
For the sake of development and profit, the Integrated Enterprise Foundation united to attract Genestellars from around the world to this city, encouraging them to participate in 'Festa.' Through live broadcasts and broadcasts to the entire world, they made massive profits.
The reason why Sylvia said that the famous students in this Asterisk City were equivalent to celebrities, known even to outsiders, was because of this reason.
The six academies recruited Genestellar students, ranked them within the academies, and trained their combat abilities, all for 'Festa.'
Therefore, 'Festa' was the most popular event and the greatest activity in this world.
Given this, Genestellars from around the world were successively attracted here, turning this city into a gathering place for Genestellars.
"This season's 'Festa' is already in preparation," Fan Xinglou said enthusiastically, like a child excited about attending a festival. "Two months from now, it's the start of the 'Phoenix Festa,' and we need to send a team to participate."
As organizations under the Integrated Enterprise Foundation, the themes of the six academies naturally revolved around 'Festa.'
To ensure the watchability of 'Festa' and to maintain its popularity, the six academies had the obligation to unearth outstanding students and have them participate in 'Festa' to achieve good results.
In every 'Festa,' the results of the outstanding students and their respective academies would be scored. After the conclusion of the third-year 'Lindwurm Festa,' the comprehensive results would be determined.
In this manner, the six academies had been competing with each other, and it was necessary to select outstanding students to participate in the competition.
Within Jie Long Seventh Institute, all the most outstanding students were Fan Xinglou's disciples.
Moreover, Fan Xinglou was the Student Council President, so it was natural for her to select the participants.
"It's a real pity," Fan Xinglou said unusually discontented. "If it weren't for not being of the right age to compete, I would want to participate too."
Hearing this, even Fang Li couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
Let this Old Monster participate in the competition. That would be a completely one-sided massacre, wouldn't it?
And not of the right age?
"You've clearly been alive for over a thousand years, Master."
Of course, Fan Xinglou's physical age was indeed not yet eligible for participation, as her publicly announced age was only nine years old.
So, what Fan Xinglou said was not wrong.
"Anyway, it's because of this that I summoned you all," Fan Xinglou said to everyone. "For the first year's 'Phoenix Festa,' I need only you as the participants."
The 'Phoenix Festa' was a competition for teams of two.
Apart from Fang Li, everyone else here excelled in this type of competition within Jie Long Seventh Institute.
For example, the Li Siblings, whose rankings were not only among the top but as twins, they had perfect teamwork. In terms of team partnerships, there were few that could outperform them.
Cecily and Zhao Hufeng were even more exceptional.
Their rankings were fourth and fifth, but more importantly, they had participated in the previous 'Phoenix Festa' and had successfully reached the finals, earning second place.
That was three years ago.
Three years later, both of them had made significant progress in their abilities, and with their synergy from the previous 'Phoenix Festa,' they were probably the most likely to win this time.
Thoughts went through Fang Li's mind, and he couldn't help but ask, "If that's the case, what is the purpose of Master summoning me?"
Fan Xinglou grinned and said, "Why do you think? You should also participate in the 'Phoenix Festa.'"
"Me?" Fang Li was surprised and said, "I don't mind, but isn't it that I'm the only one here without a partner? Is Master planning to let me find a partner on my own?"
"No," Fan Xinglou shook her head and unexpectedly said, "You will partner with Cecily and participate together."
"Eh?" Everyone was stunned simultaneously.
"Wait…wait!" Zhao Hufeng immediately stepped forward and said loudly, "Then…what about me?"
"Hufeng, you can wait to participate in next year's 'Gryph Festa,'" Fan Xinglou laughed and said, "After all, both you and your Junior Brother excel in speed. There's no need for both of you to participate again. I brought you here this time just to inform you of this. Otherwise, if I were to pair your Little Junior Brother with your previous partner without notifying you in advance, you'd probably be quite dissatisfied, right?"
"Umm…" Zhao Hufeng was momentarily speechless.
In contrast, the Li siblings spoke up.
"Since Senior Brother Zhao and Little Junior Brother only need one person to participate, shouldn't it be Senior Brother Zhao who's selected?"
"After all, Senior Brother Zhao and Senior Sister Wong have teamed up before, and the chances of them winning are higher."
Hearing this, the smile disappeared from Fan Xinglou's face.
"…Are you questioning my decision?"
A terrifying pressure suddenly surged from her body as she spoke, enveloping the entire audience room.
The Li siblings' complexions immediately turned pale, and they quickly knelt on one knee.
"We…we dare not!"
"Dis…disciples know their mistake!"
The oppressive feeling that shrouded the entire audience room then disappeared.
"That's the decision, then." Fan Xinglou glanced at Fang Li, then at Cecily, and smiled with interest.
"Just don't make me too bored, alright?"
At this moment, Fang Li, Cecily, and Zhao Hufeng were certain.
Fan Xinglou must have found this arrangement more interesting, which is why she decided to form the teams this way.
It must be the case.
