Beating Up the Imperial Capital Academy
Chapter 20 Beating Up the Imperial Capital Academy
The next day, Gojo got up very early to try the food and desserts of the capital city.
Although after successfully mastering the technique of reversal, it doesn't matter whether I eat desserts or not, this hobby has long become a habit.
Sometimes I feel uneasy if I don't eat.
Early in the morning, Gojo Satoru ate his fill of delicious food, including fried noodles with soybean paste, sugar-coated sesame cakes, and fried crispy pork.
Before leaving, he took a candied hawthorn and some sweets and ate them as he entered the dueling hall of the Imperial Academy.
The morning session featured competition between other schools and prestigious universities in the capital, while the afternoon session was Mingzhu University's turn.
In terms of the competition schedule, the other six universities will compete against each other.
They have universities from the South, North, West, and East, all of which are renowned institutions of higher learning in the country.
Apart from Mo Fan and Gojo Satoru, everyone from Mingzhu Academy was present. They came to get information about the opponents in advance. Although the first match was booked, there was still a second match to go!
Amidst the insincere pleasantries, the two sides, whose brains were not as sharp as their cerebellums, started arguing.
"Russell, you're a smart man too. You didn't want to be the tail of the phoenix, so you ran off to be the head of the chicken..."
"Xu Dalong, what are you pretending for? Your strength is about the same as mine. If I were a chicken head, how much better would you be?"
Faced with Xu Dalong's mockery from the capital, Luo Song didn't back down and retaliated without flinching.
If I hadn't witnessed Gojo Satoru's strength, I would have accepted being insulted, but we have a powerful figure on our side, so who's afraid of you!
"Aren't there nine students from Mingzhu Academy? Why are there only seven?" Teacher Lu Yiming hurriedly stepped in to smooth things over.
Professor Qiu Yuhua began, "One of the students didn't sleep well last night and is catching up on some sleep."
"Haha, there's no need to put so much pressure on yourself. It's just a casual sparring match. Why are you having insomnia?" Teacher Lu Yiming laughed.
"..." Teacher Qiu Yuhua's face darkened.
"The other one thinks it's unnecessary to watch you fight and go out to eat." Teacher Gu Han's temper also flared up.
"Is that so?" Teacher Lu Yiming thought the other party was just bluffing.
Just then, Gojo Satoru, who had just entered the fighting arena, raised his palm and, holding a candied hawthorn in his other hand, leisurely walked up to the crowd.
"Are you looking for me?"
He took another bite of a hawthorn, blinked his clear, azure eyes, and asked innocently.
The students and teachers of the Imperial Academy were all surprised to see the pile of sweets in the arms of this white-haired student.
No way, this guy didn't come to watch the game, he just went to buy food? Is he really that arrogant?!
"Shall we start now?"
Feeling that so many people from the Imperial Capital Academy were staring at him, Gojo Satoru was somewhat puzzled.
"Damn it, just you wait!"
The students from the capital glared fiercely at Gojo Satoru, who was feigning innocence, and thought to themselves.
Subsequently, the Imperial Academy began competing against several other academies.
…………
in the afternoon.
Apart from Mo Fan, all eight students from Mingzhu Academy were present, as were the students from Didu Academy.
Since it was a team competition, both sides needed to field four players, so Coach Gu Han assigned Luo Song, Zhao Manyan, and Peng Liang to be Wu Tiao Wu's teammates.
The Imperial Academy sent four people: Xu Dalong, Liao Mingxuan, Jingjing, and Zhao Mingyue.
Both sides entered the field, spaced out, and awaited the referee's signal.
However, the atmosphere on both sides was quite different. The people in the capital seemed extremely professional, while those in Mingzhu were very casual.
Gojo Satoru thought the other four were too weak, while the other three were there to make up the numbers.
"To be fair, in this team competition, all magical tools and artifacts are strictly prohibited. Let's compete through magic and stop when the point is reached!"
The two sides exchanged glances, and the referee gave the order.
Battle begins!
The people standing in the Mingzhu group were scattered and almost randomly placed. Zhao Manyan, relying on his extensive experience in paddling, stood in the last position. Peng Liang and Luo Song stood in the middle, while Wu Tiao Wu stood at the very front.
In contrast, the situation in the capital was completely different. The four people from the capital quickly took a cross formation, indicating that they had come prepared!
The opponent's magic was released very quickly. A dark green star map rapidly condensed beneath the girl's feet, and streaks of starlight transformed into entwining vines that wrapped around the girl's legs.
This is clearly a mid-level plant-based magic—Kun Forest!
Without much hesitation, Gojo Satoru instantly appeared among the four people in the capital, easily grabbed Qingqing by the neck, and lifted her up with one hand.
The original star map shattered, and Qingqing, struggling to breathe with her neck being choked, tried desperately to break free of the hand.
Gojo Satoru felt the struggle, and the hand gripping her neck tightened, throwing her down. Then he turned his head to dodge the fireballs that Zhao Mingyue was launching at him!
This set of movements is fluid and graceful.
However, in the blink of an eye, one of the students was killed by Gojo Satoru.
"That white-haired guy is so strong!"
"Yes, with such terrifying skills, is he really a magician?"
The students from various schools watching from below the stage were discussing the match with expressions of shock.
"Windbreaker!"
Liao Mingxuan didn't expect that Qingqing in the middle would be eliminated in an instant. In order to make up for it, he quickly used the Wind Disc to send Wutiao Wuye down in one move!
"Ground waves!"
Seeing Liao Mingxuan unleash a mid-level spell, Xu Dalong quickly helped restrict Gotō Sō's movement range.
Sizzle!
However, Gojo Satoru simply raised his hand and forcibly tore apart the mid-level magic, Wind Disc.
Immediately after, he used a quick step to kick Liao Mingxuan down from mid-air, and at the same time punched Xu Dalong, who came to his rescue, in the chest, making him weak. Then he grabbed the strong man who was about the same height as him!
At this moment, Liao Mingxuan successfully cast water magic and created a shield for himself. However, Gojo Satoru was completely unreasonable. He could easily defeat a beginner-level water defense character without using any magic.
"Fierce Fist - Heaven-Shattering!" A roar rang out from behind Liao Mingxuan, and a huge fire fist formed from blazing energy slammed towards Gojo Satoru.
It was clear that they intended to sacrifice Xu Dalong to send Wu Tiaowu down.
boom! !
The fierce fist slammed into the invisible barrier, and the huge energy impact stirred up waves of air. The aftershocks swept over Zhao Mingyue and Liao Mingxuan. The two of them half-crouched on the ground to resist the aftershocks, but their eyes were fixed on the position of Gojo Satoru.
At this moment, Mingzhu and the other two were still watching the show, showing no sign of making a move.
Before the smoke had completely dissipated, Gojo Satoru grabbed the unconscious Xu Dalong and rushed forward, finishing off the last survivor with two powerful punches.
Silence fell over the Imperial Capital Academy. They hadn't expected that the white-haired guy to be so terrifying, defeating the first group with just one person.
Moreover, that white-haired guy doesn't seem to have used any intermediate-level magic yet; it's truly terrifying!
"Go and call your captain over. You're no match for this guy," Lu Yiming said, frowning.
"Yes." Lu Zhenghe also felt extremely troubled and obediently called for help.
If you can summon the contracted beast, there's a chance, but the scary thing is that Gojo Satoru won't give you a chance at all, just like Miao Qingqing.
Meanwhile, everyone at Mingzhu Academy acted as if it were perfectly normal.
"Wow, Wu is awesome!" Mo Fan said with a smile.
"This is boring. These four can't even let me warm up," Gojo Satoru muttered, tilting his head.
That was too easy; they barely even used any magic.
