Original God's Dark Priest

After being controlled for a few seconds by Senor's cold joke, little Paimon probably had been controlled too many times and had developed a certain resistance to freezing. He quickly recovered and quickly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, Tinari is the college representative of the Life Theory School, but if I remember correctly, didn't you graduate? Can you still participate in the competition after graduation?"

"As expected, you guys have the same reaction." Tinari was not surprised at all and said, "When I learned that I was chosen as the college representative, I was actually more surprised than you.

Later I learned that all scholars who had studied at the Faculty of Letters were eligible to participate, regardless of whether they had graduated or not. "

After saying this, little Paimon nodded in sudden enlightenment: "So there is such a rule!"

Seeing that she understood, Senor added, "There are still some restrictions, such as sages cannot participate, and each person can only participate in one competition, etc."

"That's right. In addition, there are two ways to select college representatives. One is to register yourself, and the other is to be recommended by more than half of the scholars in the college." Tinari also became interested and began to explain in detail.

Little Paimeng tilted his head and thought for a while, then said with certainty: "I guess Tinari should be the latter!"

This is nonsense, because Tinari just said that he didn't know he would participate in the competition in advance.

Seno smiled and teased, "I heard that many scholars have spontaneously canvassed for votes for 'Senior Tinari'."

Tinari was also very helpless about this: "Oh, sometimes I really want to hit the heads of those juniors hard, so that they can focus more on their studies."

Ying asked in confusion, "Can't you refuse?"

In theory, this non-mandatory participation requirement can be rejected.

"You can refuse, but I've thought about it carefully, and this is also an opportunity for me." Tinari said his thoughts, "There will be an ecological science lecture in Huachengguo next month. If I participate in the college competition, I can use the popularity of the competition to do some publicity in advance.

As for whether or not I win the championship, I don’t really care. But I’m surprised that you didn’t participate, Seno.”

When the topic came to Seno, he shrugged casually: "If there is such an opportunity, I would rather give it to my junior. As for the limited edition Seven Saints Summoning Card, if she has a chance to win the championship, it is not impossible for me to get it."

"Wow, you're eyeing your schoolmate's things, how shameless!" Little Paimon complained, and at the same time he was curious, "Didn't you already get the three most powerful cards through the Seven Summoning Competition? Are the limited edition cards this time going to be even more powerful?"

Seno shook his head when he heard this: "No, this time the card is not a powerful card, but a material. I can choose to coat the card with a layer of glittering silver particles."

"Ah, is it useful?" Little Paimeng began to look forward to the wonderful use of this card.

Unexpectedly, Seno crossed his arms and said seriously and confidently: "Very handsome!"

Yes, no one can refuse a fluorescent laser card, just like boys cannot refuse a straight stick picked up on the roadside. Being handsome is the pursuit throughout life and the ultimate dream of every boy. Its importance is no less than the supreme honor of being called "you are awesome".

Little Paimon was shocked by Seno's sudden momentum and thought she was hallucinating. After a long time, she didn't hear any follow-up. She scratched her head and thought she didn't express herself clearly, so she added: "Um... I mean, besides being handsome, what else is there?"

"This reason is enough." Seno didn't think there was any problem at all. "There is no need for any other fancy uses to strengthen my determination to obtain it."

Well, wanting the cards is a desire, and giving them to Xier is a trust.

Ying felt that she could already understand the pressure Xier was under and couldn't help but mourn for her in silence.

Tinari also helplessly looked at this big disciplinary officer who even cheated his own schoolmate, and shook his head: "It's hard for someone like me who doesn't play cards very much to understand... But everyone has their own reasons, it's not surprising."

Upon hearing this, Paimon nodded in agreement, feeling relieved. She turned to Ying and said, "That's right. Let's go ask other people for their reasons."

The two looked in the direction of Saphir again and found that the familiar people had left. Now only Xier and a strange girl were left by her side. If she remembered correctly, the girl should be called Jade Youfei.

Little Paimon thought for a moment and suggested, "Let's go there last and look for Kavi and the others first."

Unlike Safir, Kavifalushan and Leila are actually very familiar with Ying, because when Safir was in Liyue, Ying was on her own journey in Xumi.

Saphir usually makes friends with gods and people around them, and has less contact with classes closer to civilians, while Ying will make contact with anyone regardless of their identity.

There was nothing she could do about it. After all, as an executive, she had to focus on the task most of the time. After completing the task, she had her own things to do, and she really didn't have the energy to contact everyone.

Besides, her identity as an executive is no secret in Xumi. If she really wants to go out and say that she simply wants to make friends, no one will believe her. It has nothing to do with reputation. The difference in status means that they are destined to have a disagreement, which is a helpless thing.

Fortunately, she was invited to this college championship, and got to know Kavi and others, which made up for some regrets in her heart.

Walking up to Falusan and the other two, Little Paimon began to greet them: "Kavi, Falusan, and Leila!"

"It's you! Why are you here?" Kavi was very surprised to see the two of them. They were his best friends besides El Haisen. Seeing that they also came to watch him participate in the competition, Kavi's heart was deeply moved.

Little Paimeng chuckled: "We are now the specially invited commentators! We are responsible for recording the entire competition process!"

"Oh? Then I'll ask you to take pictures of the moment I win." Falushan was very confident, as if the championship throne was within her grasp. "Remember to shoot from bottom to top, and take more close-ups of my back, so that you will feel more like a senior!"

As she spoke, she winked at the two of them, which made Ying feel tingling inside.

Hearing what Falushan said, Kavi was unhappy and quickly jumped out to refute: "Don't be so sure, it's obviously me who should win the championship!"

"You are too young to fight me. Whether it's the little brat of Shahavalo or the little bastard of Ridovandi..." Falushan glanced at Kavi and Leila calmly, and looked down on the two of them with just one sentence.

Sahavala is the academy of the Myoga sect, so the little brat she mentioned is naturally Kavi, and Riduovandi is the academy of the Vimalakirti sect, so the little brat she is talking about is naturally Leila.

Being looked down upon, Kavi immediately showed an unhappy expression on his face. But before he could get angry, Leila spoke in confusion: "Just now I wanted to ask, does Senior Falusan know me?"

"Ah? Don't you remember? Sometimes when I saw you in the library at night, you would take the initiative to say hello to me!" Falushan looked even more surprised than her.

Now it was Leila's turn to be surprised. She had no recollection of this happening at all: "What...! I have no recollection of this at all!"

She had never seen Farushan in the library at night. In fact, she rarely went to the library at night.

Seeing that her expression and performance did not seem like acting, Falusan was also a little strange, and murmured to herself: "What a strange thing..." But she quickly shook her head and stopped dwelling on it. After all, she herself (thinks she is) a free and easy person. "But now is not the time to explore. I am Falusan, a famous figure in the Zhilun School, and you are Leila from the Minglun School, right?"

This is still nonsense. They have already been introduced when they appeared just now, so it is not surprising to know their respective identities.

But Leila seemed to be born with a missing brain. She immediately answered seriously: "Yes, yes."

"Okay, then we are officially acquainted. You see, it's such a simple thing." Falushan put her hands on her hips, which made her feel very proud. "I like good kids like you who respect their seniors. Do you want to join my research group?"

Originally, Leila was flattered by Falusan's praise, but when she heard that she was going to join her research group, she was so scared that she leaned back several degrees and almost retreated.

At the critical moment, Kavi appeared and saved Leila from danger: "Senior Falusan... this is already a cross-school recruitment, right? It's better not to force it."

After hearing this, Falushan stopped insisting and said angrily, "I know, but I can't recruit anyone recently. The research funding is so limited... Xier was about to agree, but she suddenly said she wanted to study her sister's project and stood me up. I'm so pissed!"

"Xier's sister...that should be a very important topic." Leila recalled. In her opinion, Xier was so powerful, her sister must be even more powerful, so it must be some amazing research.

Xier: It's not something particularly powerful. It just uses the deceptive flower to pretend to be the grass god, resurrects the fox palace who has been dead for more than 500 years, and studies the remaining power of the descendants of the Red Moon Dynasty that has been destroyed for a thousand years.

After complaining a few words, Falusan quickly came out of her depressed mood and showed a confident smile: "After I win the championship, the situation will definitely be different--"

Watching the interaction between the three, Little Paimon analyzed: "Could it be that Falushan came to participate in the competition in order to increase research funding?"

"It's not just that..." Falusan said ambiguously, then looked at Ying and Little Paimeng, "Why, are you curious about the reason why I participated in the competition?

Oh! Speaking of which, since you are a special guest commentator, it is normal for you to ask these questions. There are many new students who have just entered the school recently, and they will also pay attention to this competition. If I can win the championship, countless scholars will definitely come to me in the future.

In addition, if I win the championship, I can get project resources within the college, and research funding is no longer a problem. Sorry, two juniors, I am determined to win the championship this time!"

She said the last sentence to Kavi and Leila, which was almost a declaration of victory.

Compared to Falushan, Leila had no confidence at all. She just lowered her head and clenched her fists: "I will also work hard to win the championship. At least I can't lose too badly..."

Her mentality is quite good, but her attitude is absolutely unacceptable. It is okay to say this to others, but as a contestant, it doesn’t matter what others think. You must have a belief in your heart.

That is, as long as you participate in the competition, you must aim for the highest honor. Saying that the top four means winning is an excuse for incompetence. If you are afraid of your opponent, why not just not participate? It will also save you from embarrassment. A warrior should have the glory of a warrior. No matter what time, victory should be the first goal. This is the correct concept.

Of course, this is just an event organized by the House of Religious Orders, and there is no need to blame the contestants for it.

Little Paimon was very curious about Leila's motivation to participate in the competition with such a mentality, so he asked: "Why did Leila come to participate in the competition?"

Hearing this question, Leila showed a very distressed expression on her face: "I don't know why, but many people recommended me. I didn't sign up, but when I woke up, I found that my name had appeared on the notice board."

"Then it's similar to Tinari!" Little Paimon didn't think too much about it, and subconsciously thought that it should be the same situation as Tinari.

Hearing this, Leila relaxed a lot and confirmed: "Is it the same for Senior Tinari? I... am very nervous, always worried that I will disappoint everyone's expectations... I haven't slept well for several nights."

"Don't be nervous, junior. Failure is a compulsory course for everyone's growth." Falushan spoke to comfort her.

Then, a female voice sounded behind them: "Although it feels a bit arbitrary to think that a person is doomed to fail, it is true. You will face the elite characters from various colleges this time. I have to say that it is not shameful to lose to them. Just relax."

Leila answered subconsciously: "But I don't want to fail." After saying that, she turned her head and found that it was Saphir who came over with Xi'er and Jade.

Seeing the person coming, Leila immediately shouted, "Ah, sister."

"Hmm?" Saphir was a little confused as to why Leila called him that.

It was Xier who smoothed things over for Leila: "You are my sister, and Leila is my friend, so she followed my lead. She has seen you a few times before, but we didn't get to talk. We always call you this when we discuss you in private. This time it was subconscious. You don't mind, do you?"

"Who can resist being called sister by a beautiful girl? Why should I care?" Saphir chuckled and shook his head to show that he didn't care, which was also considered as agreeing with Leila's behavior of calling her sister.

Leila breathed a sigh of relief, while Farusan stared at Saphir seriously for a long time.

Noticing the look in Falushan's eyes, Saphir blinked and said, "Hello, Senior Falushan. It's been a long time since we last met in the desert. How are you?"

"It's you. I was just wondering why you looked so familiar. Have we met before?" Then she looked at Jade beside Saphir. Although Jade made her feel unfamiliar, since she was a Sand People and was so close to Saphir, they must have a close relationship.

Falushan seemed a little angry. She frowned and asked, "Since you brought me back from the desert, why didn't you come to see me? You didn't even give me a chance to thank you in person. Isn't that too much?"

Hearing what Falusan said, Saphir scratched her head, feeling a little distressed. She didn't want to just abandon Falusan in the Dust Song Pot, but after she rescued her, she went to the former Huanalana, and then Nashida took Falusan away.

She doesn't want this either.

But since Farusan said so, Safir admitted it: "Sorry, I have too many things to do, so..."

"I don't want you to apologize, I just..." I just wanted to say thank you in person...but Falushan couldn't say these words.

Looking at the troubled Falusan, Safir could almost understand her thoughts, so she shook her head slowly: "It's just a piece of cake. In that situation, anyone else would also help. Don't feel burdened."

Finally, under Falushan's slightly resentful gaze, the topic was gently touched upon, and the interview process returned to Ying and Paimon. The next person to be interviewed was Kavi.
