Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Opening Ceremony (Additional Release for the Alliance Leader Opening the Door for Delivery) (Fourth Release)
At that moment, the giant bud-shaped arena suddenly moved, unfolding like a flower, extending petal by petal.
"Look quickly!"
Angel and the other girls exclaimed in surprise.
Su Ming and the others looked towards the blooming arena and were deeply shocked.
"The opening has begun!"
Mia revealed a brilliant smile.
As the arena opened, the teams from the three schools entered the arena through their respective exclusive passages.
At the same time, the crowds gathered outside began to enter the arena after checking their tickets.
Underground parking area A1 of the arena.
Bus after bus parked orderly, and as the doors opened, Su Ming and the competing students all got off.
No sooner had they alighted than countless flashes went off, nearly blinding them.
They regained their composure and looked toward the perimeter of the parking area, which was surrounded by a circle of journalists wildly snapping photos with professional cameras; had it not been for the guards holding barriers, they would have probably rushed over.
At this moment, Vice Principal Fleck clapped his hands and shouted to all the students who had disembarked.
"Everyone line up in the formation we practiced earlier, seniors at the front, everyone be alert!"
Begfin, Irelia, and Oliver immediately stood at the very front, none of them in military uniform but instead dressed in the Imperial Court Academy’s school uniforms.
Following them were the third-year students like Aqua, Uluca, and Bilado in the second tier, then the second-year students, with the first-year students standing at the back.
"Move!"
Vice Principal Fleger checked the time on his wrist device, waved his hand grandly, and led the neatly arranged competing students out of the parking area towards the competitors’ underground entrance.
As they got closer to the underground entrance, Vice Principal Fleck, looking very solemn, tasked Begfin and the others leading the group.
"The honor of the school is in your hands this time; make sure to achieve outstanding results."
"Mr. Fleck, haven’t you always taught me that friendship comes first and competition second?"
Begfin joked with his teacher.
"At a time like this, you’re still joking? Win first! We’ll talk about friendship later."
Fleck scolded without a trace of humor.
"Don’t be mad, teacher, it was just a joke. Just wait for the good news."
Seeing that Fleck was a bit upset, Begfin stopped joking and replied seriously.
"That’s more like it! You also need to do your best; the future of the school depends on you."
Fleck let out a sigh of relief, then he also instructed Irelia and Oliver.
"Yes!"
Irelia replied respectfully.
At that moment, Mia, who was following the team, suddenly approached Su Ming and slipped a piece of paper into his hand.
Su Ming was slightly startled as he opened the paper. It contained several lines of code, each marked with different models of Mecha.
"Teacher, what is this?"
"These are Mecha performance unlocking codes. I’ve been hesitant about giving them to you as they are somewhat dangerous. But now, I can’t worry about that; you must do your best!"
Mia placed high hopes on Su Ming.
"Alright!"
Su Ming nodded firmly.
Before long, Su Ming and the others arrived at the underground entrance area, where a massive lifting metal platform was situated.
"That’s all, the rest is up to you."
Vice Principal Fleck stopped, took a deep breath, and spoke to Begfin and the others.
"We will surely meet your expectations, teacher!"
Begfin saluted Vice Principal Fleck and then led the team towards the lifting metal platform.
"Good luck, good luck!"
Mia and the other teachers also paused their steps, watching and cheering for the students as they left.
....
Starlight City Arena, petals bloomed all around, densely packed with countless spectator chairs, filled entirely with an audience.
At a glance, not a single empty seat could be seen, even the stands were packed with people.
The tickets for the tri-school league had sold out within three seconds on opening day, and scalper tickets soared to an astonishing twenty times their original price, illustrating the event’s explosive popularity.
At the center of the bloomed flowers rested a huge circular arena, which served as the competition venue.
At that moment, a virtual advertisement was broadcasted, featuring a handsome male celebrity appearing. He stood on the shoulder of a dazzling golden mecha, its armor gleaming brightly, holding two beam sabers in his hands.
"Extraordinary Mecha, transcending the ordinary! Take you through the battlefields, dominate endless possibilities, Ximarke Interstellar Heavy Industries, your trustworthy partner!"
The virtual advertisement then switched again, revealing a seductive woman lying in the palm of a red mecha, smiling at the crowd.
"Red Gun Knight, fearlessly challenges, aiding you in achieving the legends of an era, Lovosk Interstellar Heavy Industry is yours to own!"
...
"Start already!"
"Begin!"
"Begin!"
...
In the spectator stands, numerous viewers yelled dissatisfiedly. They had been inside for half a day, and the competitors had not yet appeared—just one advertisement after another.
At this moment, the arena’s holographic virtual device activated.
The vast circular arena instantly transformed into a dazzling stage.
Thunderous music resounded, followed by a group of sexy, vibrant, scantily dressed women taking the stage, performing the opening welcome dance.
Suddenly, the previously dissatisfied spectators were now boiling with excitement, waving and cheering. freewebnoveℓ.com
"Wow!"
...
Ten minutes later, the opening ceremony concluded, and the welcoming women exited the stage in an orderly manner.
At this time, a middle-aged man in a blue suit, looking very sharp, walked onto the stage and waved at the spectator stands.
"Ladies and gentlemen, good morning. I thank you all for being here to watch the tri-school league; I am your host and commentator, Shiva."
"Wow, it’s the top military commentator, Mr. Shiva!"
"I didn’t expect him to be the host and commentator."
...
Shiva, smiling at the vast crowd, said.
"I believe you all are eagerly anticipating the start of the match, so please welcome our three participating teams to the stage!"
As Shiva’s voice fell,
the circular arena split into three sections, and three metallic platforms rose up, with the students from the three schools standing atop them.
"Wow!"
...
Instantly, the atmosphere on site was completely electrified. Countless spectators rose to their feet, frantically waving their flags and cheer sticks.
"My God, how many people are there?"
Rhein and the others were almost dazzled.
Su Ming, seeing countless cheering people, felt momentarily dazed, with visions of his coronation flashing through his mind.
"Hi!"
At this point, Begfin smiled and took the lead in waving to the audience.
Many students from Imperial Court Academy were also smiling, warmly greeting the enthusiastic fans.
"Look, Lord Begfin waved at me!"
"Ah, he waved at me, I can’t catch my breath."
.....
Numerous girls shouted to the point of hysteria.
