Chapter 312: Victory Academy (2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Three hours later, the plane began to descend through the clouds.
Through the window, Feng Qi saw a bustling modern city.
Victory City was a famous historical city and the most legendary city in the eastern region.
Its birth dated back to the earliest stage of the domain invasion.
At that time, in order to resist the expansion of the field, several cities chose to integrate their armies and formed the early Victory Army.
The relationships between the major cities also became closer during that period of time, and the embryonic form of Victory City appeared.
The word “victory” contained the determination of the residents of this area in the early days to resist the domain fields and their desire for victory.
The final victory was obtained through the sacrifice of millions of soldiers and residents.
Victory Academy built by Victory City under the baptism of blood was the only academy in the eastern region that nurtured war commanders.
For more than 500 years, many commanders of armies and domain combat teams came from Victory Academy.
The teaching model of the academy was purely elite.
Ten minutes later, accompanied by a sense of weightlessness, the plane landed at the airport in the northern area of Victory City.
When the plane stopped, the captain’s voice came from broadcast.
The door of the plane opened at this moment, and everyone got off one after another.
There were already a number of buses waiting at the stop not far away.
After shaking hands with the staff who came to receive them, they were brought onto the buses.
The buses slowly drove out of the airport and headed towards Victory Academy. Along the way, Feng Qi viewed the scenery of Victory City through the window. Victory City’s buildings were not as novel as Star City’s, nor were they as technologically advanced as Future City’s. There were many old buildings amidst the prosperity.
These buildings had been baptized by time, and the outer walls were still mottled.
However, these buildings were preserved.
Because they all had their own historical stories.
The former residence of a hero, the combat command room, the memorial hall… Every inch of land here was steeped in history.
After a few hours of travel, the sky gradually darkened.
At this moment, the buses arrived at the entrance of Victory Academy.
A blood-stained statue stood before the gate, looking majestic.
Feng Qi learned from the introduction of the accompanying staff that
the figure on the statue was Ji Xianfeng, the founder of Victory Academy and the eighth commander-in-chief of the Victory Army.
After the driver showed his pass, the bus was let in and slowly drove into the academy.
Stone tablets stood on both sides of the road. Every stone tablet recorded a battle. Every name on it was a student from Victory Academy.
The road was more than 300 meters long. With every step, there was one tablet, one tablet represented one battle.
Every name on it was a martyr who had died in this battle.
It gave Feng Qi a huge shock.
In his mind, he could not help but think of the students who walked out of the academy and headed for the battlefield with vigor and hope for the future.
After driving for more than ten minutes, the buses stopped in front of the dormitory building.
After they got off the bus, the staff immediately went forward.
After understanding the arrangements for the dormitory, Feng Qi took his luggage and entered the dormitory with the students.
A moment later, he arrived at Room 1702 and swiped his card to enter.
After putting down his luggage, he returned to the dormitory building.
While waiting, Lin Ran and the others arrived.
Following that, under the guidance of the staff, they arrived at the cafeteria of Victory Academy and started having dinner.
The food at Victory Academy was exactly the same as the food at Star City Academy last month.
Feng Qi was not surprised by this.
After all, the chef teams of the various academies rotated once a month. The chef team in Victory Academy this month was very likely to be the chef team at Star City Academy last month.
After dinner, everyone was brought to the reception hall.
9 p.m. in the night.
The participating classes of the five academies were already seated.
At this moment, the principal of the Victory Academy, the organizer of this year’s freshmen team competition, arrived.
The principal looked very young, about 40 years old. He had an amiable smile on his face and gave off a refined feeling.
After he sat down on the rostrum, he began to explain the situation of the competition.
After half an hour of explanation, his assistant took out the lottery box.
As the representative of Combat Class Three, Feng Qi immediately stood up and went to the rostrum to line up to draw lots.
There were a total of 12 participating classes.
Three classes from Star City Academy, two classes from Future Academy, four classes from Winter Academy, two classes from Former Days Academy, and one class from Victory Academy.
There were 60 participants in each class. Combat Class Three, that Feng Qi led, was an exception. There were only 10 people.
The process of the competition was very simple.
In the first round, the twelve classes would be divided into six groups A, B, C,
D, E, and F.
The two classes in every group would compete for the sole right to qualify.
In the second round, the six classes would compete A-B, C-D, and E-F for the right to qualify.
In the third round, they would draw lots for one class advance directly while the two others competed.
The fourth round was the finals.
Classes that lost their right to qualify during this period also had to compete until all the rankings were clear.
In the first round of drawing lots, Feng Qi got Group B. The other class that got Group B was the combat class of the Future Academy.
The results of the draw were then announced on the big screen.
When Feng Qi returned to his seat and sat down, Lin Ran turned to look at him. “Brother Qi, there’s no challenge in the first round. With our strength, wouldn’t we be able to crush them easily?”
“Be more humble.” Feng Qi grinned.
“But the second round will be a showdown with Winter Academy’s Combat
Class Four. It will probably be very fun..”
