Chapter 42 The Principal's Bad Taste
Hanabi, who had just returned to the student union office, received two messages.
"Arena?" Hanabi muttered quietly.
"President, I'm going out."
Hanabi left the office without waiting for the chairman's reaction.
"No. Wait a minute, I haven't read the report yet." The president looked at the thick pile of reports just handed in by the director on his desk and couldn't help but have a headache.
"I will record the record today~" Jiang Xia said with a chuckle.
"The last three quarters in the morning are actual combat, right? Find a place without cameras and sneak out, I will take you there." Huo Huo sent a voice message to the two of them at the same time.

9:30 a.m., Training Ground No. 11.
The large training ground located between the Elf Performance Academy and Dormitory Building No. 23 is one of the designated places for public duels. It has nine floors, and the even-numbered training rooms on each floor are solo venues recognized by black terminals.
It's quite a distance from Zuo Hang's classroom, and it takes about half an hour to walk.
Hanabi scanned the terminal's QR code on the electronic door.
The three of them walked into the helicopter.
In addition to the nine visible floors, there is also a "-1" on the floor button.
Even if you say it's hidden, it doesn't mean it's hidden. After all, it's on the button on the first floor. But if you don't enter the elevator, you can't see this thing on the underground floor.
"Why is the arena underground?" Zuo Hang asked.
Hanabi spread her hands and said: "I don't know either. According to the rumors on the forum, this is the bad taste of the first generation principal. He thinks it is fun to build some places that ordinary students don't know about. However, Bailong's first generation principal died long ago. No one knows about this. Why was the school built like this when it was first built? In addition to this, there are many underground arenas in Bailong, and there are many places inside and outside the school that are connected. "
Zuo Hang was silent.
Are there many underground arenas and are they connected?
If he hadn't gone home last Saturday, he might not have doubted his words, but it would be unusual not to doubt him now.
The speed of the helicopter should be very fast, but the elevator door did not open for a long time.
Zuohang could always feel the weightlessness, which meant that the elevator was still descending.
It feels like it takes more time to get to the next level than to go up to the ninth level.
Zuo Hang glanced at the terminal.
AM9:32
Just as I was thinking about it, the elevator suddenly stopped, it must have arrived.
It must have been 9:30 when the three people came in. I don't know how many seconds it took, but it took at least a minute for the elevator to go down.
The black terminal still had a signal underground. Zuo Hang checked it out and found that domestic elevators can go down almost 60 meters in one minute, and this elevator seemed to be faster. Zuo Hang guessed that it should be about 70 meters underground by now.
As soon as the elevator door opened, a loud noise was heard.
In front of the three people was a straight passage. The lights above were a little dim, but they could see the dazzling stage light at the end of the passage at a glance.

The referee in a white uniform rode on a disk-shaped aircraft, suspended above the arena, and an infectious male voice came out through the venue speakers connected to the microphone.
"The Big Character Explosive Flame hits the Big Food Flower!! The fire fights the grass poison, and the effect is outstanding!! The Big Food Flower falls! The Charizard has no intention of stopping! ~~~oh~~~~~~~ Another move to spray flames! ! Da Shihua is completely broken! 10, 9, 81, Da Shihua loses the ability to fight! So, let’s congratulate the blue side! The winner of this game is the white dragon guy from channel 01, it’s easy. Won his first victory in his debut match.”
"Sure enough, the newcomers of White Dragon have a natural home field advantage in the White Dragon Arena. Everyone on the red side, you have to work hard."
Dashi Hua, whose whole body was burnt black, was taken back by a trainer in black uniform. Judging from the extent of the injury, if treated in time, it might be possible to save it.
Zuo Hang looked around. This huge circular platform had ten entrances, numbered 01 to 10. There was a circular mark above the number of each entrance. And entrance No. 01 where Zuo Hang and the three people were located, The mark on it is also the school emblem of Bailong.
In addition to the nine major universities, there is also a separately listed No. 10 channel.
This is a passage designed for trainers other than the nine major universities. The entry point should be outside the nine major universities. Academy Island is not the only trainer from the nine major universities.
In addition, this circular arena is much larger than the professional duel arena stipulated by the alliance.
Hanabi said to the two of them: "This is Bailong's home court. This circular platform is about 2.5 times the size of the league's stipulated venue. Below the platform is an adjustable mechanism with jungle, sand, marble, earth and stone. , grass, five different terrains, and today is Monday, sand and gravel.”
Zuo Hang and Hoshino looked down and found that the ground of the battle platform was made of relatively coarse sand.
Hanabi patted the two of them on the back at the same time, chuckled and said, "There are better things up there, so look up first."
Zuo Hang looked up and found a huge zenith sphere suspended above the arena, about fifty meters above the ground.
Hanabi explained: "This is a weather ball that can switch back and forth between various weather conditions, such as rainy days, sandstorms, and hail days. Our current location is the auditorium. The AT position between the platform and the auditorium will be on both sides. The weather is separated, and the weather on the platform will not affect this side. The last game should have been a sunny day, and the weather and the venue are different. The venue is fixed within a day, but the weather changes every game."
Zuo Hang and Hoshino may not have heard what Hanabi was saying at all, but the battlefield in front of them was enough to shock them.
Zuo Hang has been running in various high-risk areas, and he has never had a clear understanding of the most cutting-edge technologies in 2025. Hoshino is a child of a big family in Yingzhou, and he was also shocked by the black technology of weather balls. , it can be seen that the technology of Academy City is really one or two levels higher than the outside world.
"Don't be in a daze, don't you want to have a fight?" Hanabi said, "Come with me, I will take you to sign up."

The registration area was relatively quiet. The staff in charge of registration saw a few people wearing Bailong's school uniforms, and their attitude immediately improved a lot. After all, this is Bailong's home court, and Hanabi seems to be a regular visitor here. The staff obviously followed suit. He's very familiar.
"Let's make some arrangements for them. The student numbers start with 25 and end with 001 and 002. Does that Charizard trainer from the last game want to continue fighting?" Hanabi said to the staff.
"He stopped fighting, and there happened to be no one on the blue side for the time being." The staff found the data of the two people on the screen in front of them, and then said: "Zuo Hang and Hoshino Ryuji, right? Do you need masks and other IDs? ?”
The mask is probably to prevent others from recognizing you. Even in school, if you find someone without a camera, you can still do whatever you want. The grudges on the court do not necessarily have to be ended on the court.
"Let's get a mask, and if it's an ID, I'll give it a random one." Hoshino said.
"I don't need to, just use the original name." Zuo Hang said.
As soon as these words came out, the three of them looked at Zuo Hang at the same time. In the underground arena, it was rare to see people using their original names without wearing masks.
*
Three minutes later.
Hoshino looked at his mask and was secretly worried.
"Can't I choose this thing myself? Why is it a green caterpillar?! And this ID, what the hell is it?!"
"Maoji~~~" Snow Boy called out. He thought the green caterpillar mask was quite cute.
"What's the ID? Let me take a look." Zuo Hang suddenly came over and said, "Hey~~ There are indeed enough of them."
(ps: Today I also ask for votes twice daily~~)
I have been working on the setting of this underground arena for a long time. When I wrote it, I still felt that my writing skills were not strong enough. I felt that I did not get the effect I wanted. I don’t know if you have a sense of immersion.
