Chapter 416: The beginning of the school year (1)

In early September, all schools in Dragon Country entered the new semester. Jiang Zining, Jia Wencheng and Li Yaoyao also registered at Zhejiang University.

Every year at the beginning of the school year, Zhejiang University holds a grand freshman entrance ceremony on the school playground, followed by the president's encouragement and expectations for the freshmen. After listening to the president's speech, the students return to their respective classrooms, where the department heads give the students their first lesson.

As a top student, Li Yaoyao did not rely on her performance in the national competition to participate in the special recruitment, but chose the Department of Elf Research, which was exactly the major that Wang Qiyi was in. Jia Wencheng and Jiang Zining were both in the Battle Department, and at this time they were all gathered in the comprehensive arena of the Battle Department.

The first class of the students in the battle department was held in the comprehensive arena. The teacher also specially notified them to bring their most proud elves. The students were talking about it, wondering if they would have to fight elves on the first day of school?

The students were all very excited. To be admitted to the Battle Department of Zhejiang University, they must be good at elf battles. They all wanted to stand out on the first day. The quality of students in the Battle Department of Zhejiang University this year was much better than in previous years. Ever since Wang Qiyi defeated Li Yunfeng in the King of Kings, the reputation of Wang Qiyi of Zhejiang University has become a household name.

This makes the enrollment of Zhejiang University's Department of Competitiveness particularly hot this year. Excellent high school students from all over the country have applied to study at Zhejiang University, and the admission score of Zhejiang University's Department of Competitiveness has been raised by several dozen points. This year, Zhejiang University has a large number of freshmen, which is not inferior to the former imperial universities.

However, the main reason why the Imperial Capital University can attract the best trainers from all over the country is the resource support it provides. The Imperial Capital Battle Department will give each new student a high-quality Pokémon cub. These Pokémon cubs are born from Pokémon carefully nurtured by the professors of the school's breeding department.

Of course, many children of big families look down on the elves given by the school, and they can also exchange them for other resources. However, this treatment is not available in many schools across the country. In order to be worthy of the high-quality students who applied for this year, the president of Zhejiang University also decided to spend a lot of money to support the combat department and give elves and resources to the students.

Since such great support was given, Zhejiang University President Pan Jinchun went to the Department of Competitiveness to see this year's freshmen after the opening ceremony. Director Fei was of course the most proud, and he personally received the president and walked into the comprehensive arena with him.

At this time, the freshmen of the Combat Department had already gathered off the field, getting to know each other and chatting with each other.

"I heard that Wang Qiyi is a dual major in the Elf Research Department and the Combat Department of Zhejiang University, and he entered the school last year. He should be a sophomore this year. Can we meet this legendary senior?"

"What do you mean by sophomore year? He already has a PhD. Which PhD student would take sophomore classes?"

"That's a PhD from the Research Department. He still only has a bachelor's degree from the Combat Department. At the very least, he has to report to school at the beginning of the school year."

"If you want to meet Wang Qiyi, just ask me. I'm his good brother." When Jia Wencheng heard a group of classmates whispering, he couldn't help pretending.

"Who are you? You're just bragging without thinking." Several freshmen nearby gave Jia Wencheng a cold look.

"You don't even know me, how dare you come to Zhejiang University to study? I was the champion of the National High School League last year."

"Champion? You are Jia Wencheng from Yunjiang High School!"

"It's me, Wang Qiyi, who graduated from Yunjiang High School. Now you believe it, right?" Jia Wencheng said proudly.

"Look, that girl is Jiang Zining, whose comprehensive elf evaluation value exceeded 8000 during the special recruitment exam."

"It is said that she is Wang Qiyi's apprentice."

"Wang Qiyi is still accepting disciples?"

"Don't you know? He claims to be the founder of the Xiaoyao Sect, so everyone calls him Xiaoyao Tianwang."

"Then can we become disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect?"

"Ask Jiang Zining. It's not too much to call her Senior Sister."

"Let's go and meet Jiang Zining." A group of freshmen walked towards Jiang Zining while chatting.

Jia Wencheng was left aside and looked a little embarrassed: "Hey, I'm the elder of Xiaoyao Sect, why don't you ask me if I want to accept disciples?"

"Dear students, please be quiet!" Director Fei's voice resounded throughout the arena. He stood on the podium with a microphone in his hand. Principal Pan and a group of teachers next to him sat down on the podium.

"Welcome all the freshmen to our Zhejiang University's Department of Conflict..." Director Fei began his first speech to the freshmen. Students usually don't listen too seriously to leaders' speeches, but this year, Director Fei's last paragraph made the freshmen nervous.

"The school has given us great support for the combat department this year. Some students will receive high-quality elf cubs from the school, and there will also be a large amount of elf breeding resources. These supports will be issued in the form of scholarships. Whether you can get a scholarship depends on your ability. So our first class after school is a freshman exchange competition, so that the principal and teachers can see the fighting power of the students."

As soon as he finished speaking, the students started to discuss a lot. Some of them were excited and eager to try. They all wanted to see who would become the number one freshman in the Department of Combat at Zhejiang University.

"Everyone, this year's freshman exchange competition is not a competition among you freshmen. Your opponents are sophomores." Director Fei interrupted the students' discussion. Only then did the freshmen realize that the audience seats around the arena were already full of sophomores. It turned out that they were not here to watch the ceremony, but were the freshmen's opponents.

"Teacher Lu, I'll leave the rest to you." Director Fei handed the microphone to Teacher Lu from the school team.

The battle mode of this freshman exchange competition was proposed by Mr. Lu. He wanted to get to know the freshmen more quickly and select the best students from the freshmen to join the school team. Last year, Wang Qiyi led the team to help Zhejiang University win the national championship. Although Wang Qiyi was only a freshman at the time, Zhejiang University should have dominated for four years. However, Wang Qiyi made it clear that he would no longer participate in such low-end games.

In order to defend the championship title at Zhejiang University, Teacher Lu had to speed up the selection and training of talented students. This year's student source was particularly good, and the national high school champions were all in their school. Coupled with the support given by the principal, they absolutely could not miss this golden age.

Teacher Lu began to introduce the rules of the competition: the freshmen had half an hour to get to know each other's Pokémon, and then randomly formed into teams of three, with each person sending out a Pokémon to compete three-on-three with the sophomores. A panel of judges composed of teachers and school team students would rate the performance of the Pokémon and trainers, and select school team members based on the scores.

There are 90 new students, and there are exactly 3 teams of 30 people in each team. This kind of Pokémon battle that requires teamwork is a great test of the trainer's familiarity with the Pokémon's skills and attributes, and the ability of a single Pokémon is weakened. Sophomores of course have a natural advantage. They have been studying, training and fighting together for a year, and they know each other well. They also have team battle training on a regular basis.

But this year's freshmen are different from previous ones. Their fighting power is much higher. The pressure on sophomores is enormous. If they lose to freshmen, it would be a shame.

Jia Wencheng, the national champion, and Jiang Zining, the legendary girl, became the favorites of the students to form a team. Of course, some people were unwilling to form a team with experts because their teammates would be too strong and would lower their performance. Teacher Lu just said that teachers would not blindly evaluate based on wins and losses, but would give evaluations based on performance on the field.

If your teammates are too strong and you don't even have a chance to attack, then your evaluation will definitely not be high, and even if you are a support, you have to show your support skills. Therefore, some students who are more sensitive to tactics start to choose a combination that suits them better, such as assassin-type elves looking for a tank-type combination, melee-type looking for a long-range combination, and pure support elves looking for a special attack turret combination, etc.

After the teams were formed, the competition began. There were 30 groups for both freshmen and sophomores, and they were randomly drawn from 1 to 30.
