Miss Witch Doesn't Want to be a Diva-Chapter 592 249 The Three Major Competitions
Yuanting Academy remained, as always, enveloped in a peaceful and leisurely atmosphere, free from the tense air between the high schools of the South First District. In fact, not just Yuanting, but also the leading high schools of the Northern First District had a good relationship with each other, often visiting and holding joint activities and gatherings.
Regarding the various league competitions held among the Star Domains, the students of Yuanting Academy rarely paid attention, except for an event concerning Breeders, which teachers occasionally mentioned to them.
Standing on a wide tree stump, this slightly younger teacher pushed up his glasses and introduced to the students below about the soon-to-commence 'Young Dragon Cup' event.
"Among the southwestern ten Star Domains, every two years, the 'Crimson Flame Young Dragon Cup' competition is held. Participants are Breeders with a maximum of five companions allowed to enter. Competitors are high school students from the ten southwestern Star Domains, and the event is rated as a B-level competition within the Federation."
The teacher then explained the division of competition levels to everyone. Within a Star Domain, niche competitions in specific fields are ranked as D-level. To achieve a C-level rank, the number of participants in the field in question has to reach a certain threshold; otherwise, a micro-competition with just hundreds of participants would be deemed too trivial.
"The only A-level event held within the Four-leaf Crystal Star Domain is the annual Winter Festival Grand Competition. In addition, there are three B-level events, which are related to Mecha combat, individual armed combat, and AI logic attack and defense. These three B-level events are mostly for adults, so as students, you generally would not get involved."
"Generally speaking, every Star Domain's Winter Festival Grand Competition is the only A-level event they have. Only a few extremely special Star Domains have multiple A-level events. For example, the remote Blood Nest Star Domain retains ancient battlefields from the end of the Fifth Epoch, which are home to many mutant monsters and life forms. An annual hunting-related competition is held there, in which all participants are at least elite experts of Sequence 6."
"Note that I'm talking about within a Star Domain. In fact, aside from the 'Winter Festival Grand Competition,' which is a special and mandatory A-level event, most A-level competitions are interstellar in nature. That is to say, only large-scale competitions that gather elites and geniuses from more than ten Star Domains to compete together can be rated as A-level."
"From this comparison, you can understand that although the 'Crimson Flame Young Dragon Cup' is B-level, its value is quite high. In fact, it is a subsidiary event of the A-level league 'Crimson Flame Dragon's Roar Cup,' which is a large-scale event for Breeders aged 18 to 30 from the ten southwestern Star Domains. Every year's champion is even likely to include those of Sequence 7."
"Reaching Sequence 7 before the age of 30 is also being at the absolute pinnacle within the entire Federation."
"Teacher, does the Federation have S-level leagues?" someone curiously asked.
"There are indeed S-level leagues, but such events are not something ordinary people can get involved in. Currently, the Federation has announced only three S-level events: 'Coronation Festival,' 'Titan Battle,' and 'Amenas.' These kinds of events, for example, the 'Coronation Festival,' take place every 12 years, while the 'Titan Battle' is held only once every 20 years. As for 'Amenas,' it's said to be initiated by the Federal Central Council's decision and usually takes place once every 30 to 50 years."
"The 'Coronation Festival' is a relatively peaceful competition related to the Songstresses, while the 'Amenas' is a struggle between different Transcendent Factions involving countless interests and even determining the trend and choices for future generations of the Federation in cultivating Transcendent Sequences. Hence, the competition is exceptionally fierce and cruel, and the Federation does not hold it lightly."

"As for the 'Titan Battle,' it is a drill between various touring fleets and the Central Fleet within the Federation. Although called a drill, it's hardly different from an actual war, with some casualties, hence it's held only once every 20 years."
After the introduction, the students were lost in imagining the grandeur and enormity of such mega-events, fantasizing about one day stepping onto that attention-grabbing stage themselves.
After class, many people were still discussing what they had just heard.
"The 'Titan Battle' sounds absolutely dazzling. Just imagine, countless magnificent Starships slowly traversing the starry sky, arranging formations in space, and then the synchronised booming of light cannons. It's thrilling just to think about it," a boy said as he lay on the grass, propped up by his hands, sharing his thoughts with his companion.
"It is magnificent, but I still prefer the 'Coronation Festival.' It's said that on that day, heirs of the Songstresses from all over the Star Domain will arrive. Although real 'Songstresses' only make up a small part, stars and singers with different styles from everywhere will also attend the event. Their competition can be even more exciting than that of the 'Songstresses' because there are so few of them, leading to less fierce competition."
"I heard there will be a lot of beauties," he said, hands clasped together, eyes closed, as he envisioned a day when beautiful women would vie for beauty amidst a sea of flowers, his imagination running wild.
"Alright, alright, let's be more realistic and think about 'Amenas.' According to the records in the school library, the reason why our 'Breeder' system rose up is because more than 800 years ago, a master Breeder took second place in 'Amenas,' and then our profession received recognition throughout the Federation. Afterward, 'courtyards' were gradually established everywhere, and from there, the system began to flourish and spread."
"The 'Slashing Blade Sequence' too, was established in the Federation's early days due to an unparalleled genius who modified the 'War Sequence' into a new form of Transcendent Sequence and clinched the championship of 'Amenas.' Afterwards, all Transcendent practitioners within the entire Federation slowly changed their cultivation patterns to follow this new Sequence template, and it was eventually named the 'Slashing Blade Sequence.'"
"The 'Angel Sequence' and 'Demon Sequence' also went through similar revisions, later becoming known as the 'Radiant Feather Sequence' and 'Blood Pupil Sequence.'"
"As for the Magic Sequence, it has been gradually replaced by the Spirit Particle Sequence. Although there are quite a few similarities between the two, the differences are actually significant."
"Generally speaking, only when a member of that Transcendent Faction wins a ranking in a grand competition like 'Amenas' after cruel and intense elimination can they truly be recognized by the world. After that, countless people will rush to imitate and follow their learning, and then that faction will be able to expand and gain a vast amount of resources and influence."
"The Federation is too vast, if it weren't for a cross-Star Domain event like 'Amenas', which is almost a gathering of the entire Milky Way, many people from remote Star Domains would have no way of knowing about new Transcendent Professions and Cultivation Systems."
"That's why the competition is so intense. I heard that a single planet is used as the competition venue, and the contest can last up to a year."
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but fall silent, shocked by the grandeur of the scene, and then became immersed in their imaginations.
Several minutes later, the silence was broken when a student stood up, patting off the grass clippings and dust from behind.
"Alright, let's stop thinking about it for now. Given the situation, why don't we go eat first?"
"Hahaha, that's true." Afterward, several people leapt up energetically, dusting themselves off and hooking shoulders with one another as they moved towards the direction of the Academy's cafeteria.
Under another tree, Tilan was sitting on a horizontal log, using her small Stone Blade to whittle sticks into the shape of miniature Wooden Swords, then handing them to two snakes on the grass in front of her, to coil their tails around them and fence with each other.
At first, the two creatures were clumsy in their movements and not quite accustomed to using swords, but after some time, they slowly grew used to it.
"Bonk bonk--"
Tilan propped up her head, watching the two little snakes fence with their Wooden Swords, occasionally clashing and making clear, crisp sounds, finding the sight rather amusing.
"Whoever wins today will get two boiled eggs to eat, the loser only gets one."
She encouraged the two little ones, while the large spider at this moment was climbing on the tree, curiously observing the other students in the woods.
After watching for a while, Tilan felt that if the two little snakes continued this way, they wouldn't make any progress, so she began to instruct the two creatures.
"Actually, you can attach Magic Power to the little Wooden Swords. If you are skilled enough, you can even inscribe an Enchantment Branding, which can produce some special effects."
Following Tilan's suggestion, the two little snakes began to experiment, wrapping their tails around the Wooden Swords, which were imbued with a faint glow of Magic Power. After a series of changes, each became slightly different.
The Indigo Snake's tail-held Wooden Sword was charred black, emitting sparks and a red light. Meanwhile, the White-scaled Tree Viper's Wooden Sword gathered strands of chill in the air, becoming fractionally harder.
"Crack—"
Finally, in another clash, the Tree Viper's tail-held Wooden Sword broke the Indigo Snake's charred Wooden Sword, declaring its victory.
"Alright, today's battle ends here. Xiao Bai gets two eggs, Xiao Qing gets one." Tilan clapped gently, a smile spread across her face.
During this time, she had found a way to motivate the two little ones and took the opportunity to see if they could learn some 'swordsmanship' and Secret Techniques.
