Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems - Chapter 421

Chapter 419 Yunze Cup Competition Committee

Chapter 419 Yunze Cup Tournament Committee
Yunze Wetland, in the Yunze Cup Tournament Committee office of Bonifacius University.

A wizard in the crystallization stage is processing registration information. He is wearing a wizard robe with the special pattern of Bonifacius University and a wizard badge with a black and white pattern.

He is a standing member of the committee, Wizard Trix.

At this time, Wizard Trix was processing the competition information sent from various wizarding lands.

“There are a total of twenty wizards participating this year, nine more than the last Yunze Cup.” Wizard Trix said with a smile: “Twenty to ten, that means the elimination rate can be as high as half.”

“This year’s competition will be the most competitive ever.”

Trix, a first-ring crystallized wizard from Yunze Wetlands, spoke to his colleagues in the office. Most of the committee members in the office were first-ring crystallized wizards.

In Yunze Wetland, only wizards in the first ring crystallization stage can serve as committee members and have the teaching position of lecturer.

Unlike the land of the Six Towers, because the competition here is fierce and the personnel mobility is high, a large number of foreign wizards from the eastern border area are entering the Yunze Wetland, so teaching positions in the Yunze Wetland are extremely rare.

Only capable people can get higher-level teaching positions, and performance should be the basis of everything.

Wizard Trix was stunned for a moment. “What the hell? The Six Towers are getting involved this time too?”

When the one-ring crystal wizards in the office heard this information, they all looked up.

“The Land of Six Towers? Is it the wizarding land controlled by that family wizard? What’s the point of them coming here to participate? Can they make it past the first round of the main competition?”

“I heard that wizarding land has been in decline for a long time. The wizards there don’t dare to participate in competitions. They only dare to participate in competitions in the Six Towers. After winning the competition, they force the local White Wizard Association to obtain the same treatment as the champions of other wizarding lands. The wizards there… are notorious and have been lagging behind the academic world for a long time.”

“Are the two qualifying rounds of our Yunze Cup also being held within the Six Towers?”

Wizard Trix checked the information. “No, they were nominated by the White Wizard Association over there. The format is the same as for the Dark and Bright Borderlands.”

Many wizards in the office began to smile in understanding.

“There’s no need to hold a preliminary competition at the Huiming Junction because there’s already a related Breeder competition there, so there’s no need to waste money on another one. And that Six Towers Land… I guess some wizard is trying to use this kind of competition to gild themselves.”

“Hmm… maybe. What are the qualifications of the wizards participating in the competition?”

Wizard Trix glanced at the entry form and shook his head slightly. “Except for the wizard leading the team, the others are practically worthless. No articles, no representative works, no positions. They’re just a bunch of ordinary first-ring wizards.”

“As for the wizard leading the team, although he is very young and is already a liquefied wizard, he is only 21 years old, but in the end, that’s all he is.”

“His qualifications are plentiful in the Yunze Wetlands,” said Wizard Trix, stamping the entry from the Six Towers with a red seal of approval. “After all, those who can participate in our competition are supposed to be the most talented breeder teams from all wizarding lands. The quantity and quality of their achievements and publications are exceptionally high.”

“Compared to these people, this wizard named Augustine looks ordinary. He really doesn’t have much to show for himself.”

“Just an ordinary young wizard.”

In the office, some wizards raised their eyebrows in surprise when they heard that Locke became a liquefied wizard at the age of 21.

After all, in a place like the Land of Six Towers where magic tides are high, being able to become a liquefied wizard at this age is quite a skill.

A First Ring wizard said objectively, “That’s not true. At least being a head wizard in some small or medium-sized wizard organization in Yunze Wetland is enough.”

The First Ring Wizard glanced at Locke’s profile and said, “His advantage is that he’s young and a liquefied wizard. But his disadvantage is that the number and quality of his articles and achievements are somewhat limited.”

“Alright, the Six Towers is also part of the Eastern Boundary’s wizarding land. Although it’s closed year-round, it’s a good thing they want to participate. I’ll report this to the chairman.”

The chairman of the Yunze Cup Competition Committee of Bonifacius University is a second-ring wizard.

The first-ring wizard said to Trix, “By the way, will any of the three-ring wizard’s direct disciples participate in this competition?”

Trix glanced at the information in his hand and quickly forgot about the Six Towers and that ridiculous team. “Indeed, there are, and there’s more than one. First up is Wizard Edgar David, a direct disciple of the headmaster of the Esosend Fire Weaving Academy on the Sun Shadow Peninsula. He’s participating in this competition. He’s a direct disciple of a Three-Ringed Wizard. I hear he’s also a genius in breeding, being trained in that field by that Three-Ringed figure.”

“Wizard Edgar David has extensive experience in creating excellent tactical-grade magical plants. He often works with his mentor on major projects and has extensive experience in competitions. He has a plethora of championship titles… I heard he recently recreated the long-extinct ancient magical plant, the [War Tree].”

“And he received the Sun Seed Badge, the highest-level breeding medal on the Sun Shadow Peninsula.”

The wizards in the committee office exclaimed in surprise.

“Ancient War Tree? That’s an ancient war demon plant that’s long been extinct. I’ve only read about it in books. How could he possibly revive a demon plant of that level?”

“After all, he’s a three-ring wizard, a wizard trained specifically in the field of breeding. I think that three-ring wizard probably wants him to grow up and join his research team to solve a problem related to the tree-man demon plant.”

“In that case, he will definitely use a treeman in the competition. Treemen are the most mature tactical-level magical plants, with many classifications and comprehensive technical data.”

Wizard Trix looked down at the information in his hands. “In addition, a direct disciple of a third-ring wizard will also participate. She is Witch Diana Ward from our Yunze Wetlands.”

Speaking of Diana Ward, the first-ring wizards in the office looked at each other and smiled.

Diana Ward is a legend that recently appeared in Yunze Wetlands. Her original wizard mentor was an ordinary little mentor. He was jealous of other people’s talents, interfered with Diana Ward, and was psychologically twisted.

But in the end, Diana Ward got the attention of the great mentor in the research group, the three-ring wizard, with her own abilities. From then on, she was directly arranged to study under a two-ring wizard. She achieved success along the way and became the most famous first-ring wizard in their Yunze Wetland in the past ten years.

After all, second-ring wizards have already achieved a certain social status and will not seek attention and compete with these young first-ring wizards who have just started their careers.

The two sides are no longer competing on the same track.

Wizard Trix said, “Besides that, there are quite a few participating teams that have wizards who came from research groups of second-ring wizards. Of course, most wizarding lands have limited magical tide levels, and some wizarding lands may even only have a single-digit number of second-ring wizards. Therefore, most participating teams are not composed of wizards who came from research groups of second-ring wizards or third-ring wizards.”

“However, that’s also thanks to winning all the way from various wizarding lands. I think this competition will be very intense.”

Trix looked at the competition materials sent over by the Six Towers. “Some wizards who seek to gild themselves by this are truly insulting this competition and underestimating its difficulty.”

Wizard Trix sighed, “Unfortunately, the other party exploited a loophole in the competition system. We can’t refuse those people’s participation.”

“Forget it, let these wizards from the Six Towers see what the world is like. It’s good to participate.”

A group of crystallized wizards who were part of the tournament committee began to discuss which team they thought would be the champion.

There were many different opinions. First of all, the contestants from the research groups of the two three-ring great wizards and their teams were undoubtedly the strongest candidates for the championship, but the breeders from other wizarding lands were also not weak and had brilliant achievements in the past.

Therefore, it is not impossible for a champion to emerge from among these people.

Wizard Trix drummed his fingers on the table and said with a smile, “I’m actually more optimistic about the wizard from Spiral Basin who made it through two rounds of competition… Hmm… Spiral Basin is also participating in the Yunze Cup for the first time this year. However, this wizard Yennefer has shown in her past experience of surviving desperate situations and turning the tide many times in various competitions.”

Wizard Trix said, “Our Yunze Wetlands are far away from the Spiral Basin, and the wizards here lack this kind of courage and determination. I’m very optimistic about her.”

Many wizards nodded in agreement. The wizards in the Spiral Basin had a unique temperament, which was the courage to fight to the death. This trait was the exact opposite of the rat-like nature of the wizards in the Six Towers.
