Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Winning formula, red and blue

The emotions of most students changed from excitement, to shock, and finally to panic.27 stars?

What the hell kind of joke is this?

The students really wanted this to be a joke, because no matter how absurd and bizarre it was, it wouldn't come true.

Unfortunately, the above statements came from the principal, and at such a solemn ceremony. So this must be true.

"Kain... 27 stars for heaven's sake! That's three times the requirement for graduation, how could any student possibly gather enough?"

Mera panicked and grabbed his sleeve, but Kain suddenly reached out and placed his hand on the back of her hand, signaling her to rest assured.

"Not impossible."

"Stars can not only be collected by completing semesters, the academy's general tournament can also earn stars."

Actually, Kanzax Academy's tournament has a very special mechanism.

When the tournament takes place, it will be divided into three small sections, for first year students, second year students, and third year students. The champion of each section will receive three stars as a reward.

If calculated like that, even if you win three years in a row and complete all semesters, you will only have 18 stars.

But the tournament mechanics don't stop there.

Once you become the champion of the year one students tournament, you can choose to challenge the champion of the year two students tournament and the champion of the year three students tournament.

If you beat one champion, you can get three more stars, if you can beat both champions, you can get six stars.

That being said, the maximum number of stars a first-year student can collect from the tournament is nine stars.

And when the freshman becomes a sophomore and continues to participate in the tournament, you can continue to challenge the third-year champion. Making the number of stars you can collect from the tournament up to six stars. Of course, you can't challenge the freshman champion, only the other way around.

And after you become a third year, you won't be able to challenge anymore, resulting in you only getting a maximum of three stars if you win.

So the total number of stars if you follow the above progression, plus the nine stars from completing the entire semester, totals 27 stars, which fits the Tower of Magus approval requirement.

Of course, this rule also severely punishes the challenger. Once you fail to challenge a higher champion, you will lose all the stars you got when you won that tournament, making your achievement a round zero. So challengers must consider very carefully when making a decision.

At the same time, the champions who were challenged and defeated lost nothing. Except for honor and humiliation, of course.

"Kain, it would be better if you didn't say anything."

Mera was speechless. Before, when she heard the number 27 stars, although she was startled, she didn't feel anything. But after Kain clearly explained the method, she could feel despair enveloping her.

Kain said that accomplishing this was not impossible, but Mera felt that the distance to "impossible" was not too far.

"Is there really no other way?" S~eaʀᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Myra was also restless, because the goal that Kain had set was really too difficult.

This is equivalent to being undefeated in every battle from the beginning until graduation.

Kain shook his head.

"Sorry, it's just the harsh truth. The regulations do not allow star trading, star selling, star gifting, star betting... in general, all illegal methods are eliminated, and if discovered, you will even be warned."

This academy has very strict controls, even teachers cannot help students cheat.

Seeing this, Myra could only sigh in disappointment, but she thought that was only natural.

If this academy could really use such impure methods, then this place would have long rotted from within, and would not have the qualifications to be the cradle of countless talented Magus.

At this time, most of the students were still in the stage of blaming heaven and earth for such a harsh request, only a few of them had figured out a method to complete it like Kain.

After a while, someone spread this method and it became known to everyone.

The atmosphere in the hall gradually became an anomaly, especially the gazes of the second and third year students looking towards the first year students.

Different from the initial indifferent gaze, the gazes of these seniors had a bit more hatred, even resentment.

But Kain could understand.

Not only did they not have a chance to compete for a place in the Tower of Magus, they were also challenged by the students below them. This was nothing short of an insult.

As Kain can imagine, they won't show any mercy.

"Alright, it seems like you've digested the information just now. Now it's time for me to announce the department's division."

"Once you become a part of this place, you can choose one of two departments."

"First, the combat department, you can enroll in two different magic classes, and you get to add a separate combat training class on how to fight with whatever you like. With magical combat training as the foundation and weapons and martial arts as the supplement. Trust me, it's extremely useful."

"Second, the research department, you can enroll in three different magic classes, adding a minor subject that is not directly related to magic but is also very useful such as medicine making, herbal classification,..."

"Above all, regardless of whether it's the combat department or the research department, you must attend the comprehensive practical class. This is also very important, so please remember to attend directly."

"Now it's time to divide. First-year students! If you choose the combat department, stand in the red box, and those who choose the research department will stand in the blue box."

As soon as the words were spoken, two different streams of light covered the hall, one red and one blue.

The students also started to quickly choose, Myra and Mera didn't think much and went to the red box. However, something surprising happened.

Kain steps to the blue box.
