Genshin Impact is a big stage, come if you dare

Su soon found out why her friends were busy—the College of Religious Affairs was preparing for the college celebration.

In addition to various recreational activities, this year's college celebration also includes exciting college competitions.

Su: "What's the purpose of the college competition?" Each of the six colleges selects a representative to take an exam or fight?

Vikas, a member of the planning committee for the college celebration, explained: "The college competition will allow each of the six schools to select a representative, allowing each contestant to use the knowledge they have learned to demonstrate their abilities, complete tasks to earn points and compete for the final championship."

Sue nodded. "Oh—just as I guessed."

Vikas said that this year's competition will be unprecedentedly lively because there will be not only scholars and spectators from the rainforest side, but the House of the Holy Orders has also invited many people living in the desert to participate.

Kong knew some of the inside story. "Nashida and the sages have drawn up a plan. Next year, the Order will recruit some talented people from the desert. The invitation to the desert people should be to let them feel the atmosphere of the Order in advance."

Su was stunned, "Why don't I know about this?"

Sora was helpless, "Because you didn't go to the meeting at all?"

Su muttered, "I-I need to concentrate on writing my paper!"

Paimon didn't even bother to expose her. "So what does Vikas want to talk to us about? Does he want to invite us to participate in the competition?"

Vikas waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no way!" If the Greatest Sage and the Knight of Flowers participated in the competition, wouldn't that be a crushing victory?

Vikas said the Travelers did not meet the requirements to participate, but the competition committee wanted to invite the Travelers to serve as special commentators to observe and record every game closely.

"They are also responsible for interviewing the participants and providing emergency assistance. With your participation, we will surely ensure that such an important event comes to a successful conclusion!"

After Vikas told the competition committee the amount of money offered, the Traveler Team quickly decided, "Accept it!"

Paimeng thought happily that the officials of Xumi were both rich and generous!

Their team of travelers hasn't done any missions for the Adventurer's Guild for a long time. Being well-fed by the Xumi officials, they simply don't care about those trivial things.

After taking on the mission, the Traveler Team received equipment and information.

Tracker - used to locate players during competition.

The special camera made by the Ministry of Education is used to record the wonderful performances of the players.

Contestant information sheet:

Su was speechless for two seconds, "...These contestants are all acquaintances?" As expected, her friends are the best!

When Falushan said that day "looking forward to my performance", it turned out that she was not talking about Xiu Xiu Tamimi but the college championship.

"Let me have a look, let me have a look," Paimon came over to identify carefully, "Seno, Tinari, Kavi, Falushan, Leila...really! They are all acquaintances! Only this one named Amao we don't know, Amao...what a weird name, hahaha."

Sora also found it very strange, "Is there really someone with a name like that? It must be a pseudonym."

——*——*——

After several days of busy preparations at the Academy, the College Championship officially began.

The host on the stage smiled appropriately, "Everyone, welcome to the Academy Celebration! Next, I will announce the prizes for this year's Academy Competition—"

"Generous bonuses, project resources, limited edition Seven Saints Summoning Cards... and the right to wear the Crown of Talent. You can guess without me saying that this is a symbol of honor!"

A lotus-shaped crown inlaid with gold and jade was placed on the exhibition stand in front of the stage. The audience applauded its beauty and the honor and wealth it represented.

Twenty years ago, a talented scholar named Sazin bought it for a large sum of money, and then handed it and all his property over to the House of the Decrees for management.

This generous tycoon left a message, saying that whoever won the competition and the crown would inherit all his property!

Paimon's eyes turned into the shape of Mora again, "All property!" It's a pity that they can't participate in the competition this time.

Su snorted coldly, "Humph, there must be a trap!"

The same thing happened in the last Mushroom Beast Competition. Although I didn’t lose money in the end, the Mora I got was half less than what I expected!

Sora seemed to be in a daze.

The bustling crowd became a blurry background in his vision, and a gray-haired figure stood in front of the Crown of Talent with his back to him.

'Everything is going to get worse... Everything is going to get worse... Everything can only get worse...'

'Human nature brings dissension, and dissension leads to destruction. The seeds of sin have been sown since the beginning...'

Su stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes, "Sora, what's wrong with you?"

"I..." Kong recalled the scene just now, "It seems like I am hallucinating."

Su and Paimon quickly supported him.

Su: "We have been in Xumi for such a long time, but Kong is still not used to the local climate?"

Paimon: "Sora, you're not secretly staying up late to work, are you? I told you to get enough rest!"

Seeing that Su wanted to pick him up and send him to the health center for examination, Kong quickly said that he was fine.

Sora: "I was just distracted for a moment. I'm really fine. The contestants are about to go on stage. Let's get ready for filming."

Three members of the Traveler Team brought three special cameras and filmed the six contestants on the stage from three different angles.

The host, Kalina, spoke in a passionate and loud voice. "I believe that everyone is as impatient as I am to see the competition begin! Now let us invite six college representatives to the stage. They are——"

"Representative of the Biophysics Faction, Tinari!"

The big-eared chief ranger stood with his hands on his hips under the college flag.

The large number of students from Amiritto College in the audience applauded and cheered, with occasional whistles.

"Tinari-senpai, you are my fan! No, I am your idol!"

"The strongest and cutest genius senior! Go!"

"Representative of the Sulon faction, Seno!"

The disciplinary officer wearing a wolf-ear hat folded his arms and nodded, looking like a general.

The discipline officers who were on vacation applauded along with the audience.

"Any points! We will take them!"

"Strong and powerful, strong and powerful!"

"Representative of the Minglun Sect, Laila!"

The girl, whose eyes were bruised and black as she stayed up late, saw the gaze turned to her and quickly stopped moving her fingers, trying to appear calm.

This time, the cheers from the audience were obviously much less, and Su even heard a few uncomfortable giggles.

"Leila is awesome! Come on, Leila!" Su took out a loudspeaker and shouted out the support of a hundred people.

Paimon also came over and encouraged Leila to add another 100 people, "Leila, go ahead!!!"

Kalina waited until the buzzing in her ears died down before she spoke again, "I can feel the enthusiasm of the contestants' families and friends! Audience friends, please show your enthusiasm as well!"

"Representative of the Zhilun Sect, Fa Lushan!"

The girl with the cute lop-eared bunny hairstyle walked onto the stage and blinked her right eye at Su who was filming.

"Senior, please feel free to fly. The younger generation of our Miaolun Sect will always be with you!"

"Are you stupid? Senior Falusan is from our Zhilun sect!"

"Representative of the Mystical Theory Sect, Kawei!"

The young man with golden semi-long hair and full of romance excited the audience.

"The light of wonderful theory! Senior Kawi!"

"Senior Kavi!!! Our campus beauty!"

Kavi, who originally looked confident and elegant, now showed an expression of doubt about life.

"And the representative of the Yinlun faction, Ah Mao... Eh? The Yinlun faction representative hasn't arrived yet?"

The representative of the Yinlun School, contestant Amao, walked onto the stage with an unhappy look on his face and stood under the academy flag.

After seeing the true appearance of contestant A Mao, all members of the Traveler Team were speechless for more than ten seconds.

Paimon: "How could it be... him?!"

Sue: "This strange yet fitting pseudonym..."

Sora: "It was Nashida who gave it to him. He probably participated in the competition because of Nashida's request."

It’s not enough to have their team of travelers as insurance, has Nashida arranged another layer of insurance?

It seems that because of the problems that occurred in the last private event, the House of Religious Affairs really hopes that this official competition can be carried out safely.
