Strictly speaking, this sphere was the most threatening thing in Taurus’ warning.
However, this thing only opens in fifth-level cities, so there’s no need to worry for now.
Having regained his senses, Mu You hurriedly explained to Solomon the significance of the height restriction, which concerned Sky City only and had nothing to do with the residents and was not necessary to be imposed on the players.
Solomon now understood Mu You’s intention, and immediately went back to repeal that city rule. The city rules were frequently revised, and since everyone was busy mining, no one minded this. They just thought it was the City Lord’s eccentricity.
After leaving City of Dawn, Mu You teleported directly back to the Academy.
The three application letters sent out last night had all received replies by now.
However, only the ’Flying Club’ had directly accepted his application. The Potion Club and the Divination Club, being popular societies with numerous applications, required an in-person interview and compliance with conditions before admission.
Mu You wasn’t in a rush, he could deal with it one by one.
[You, carrying a flying broom, arrive at the ’Flying Club Activity Room’.]
[The Flying Club ranks mid to lower amongst school clubs in terms of members. Even though every wizard must study the Flight Spell, not many wizards are interested in competitive flying, because this sport is a niche one. Unlike careers in potions and such, it doesn’t provide substantial rewards for wizards.]
[Upon hearing of a new member joining, Charles, the Flying Club president, along with thirty-six club members, welcomes you warmly in the club room.]
[Charles and others enthusiastically invite you to look at the club equipment. Charles, the champion of the last Imperial Capital Air Race, is ready to provide you with flying tips at any time, and other members are also happy to answer your questions...]
Mu You sighed. These small societies with a cordial atmosphere generally treated newcomers as treasures.
Unfortunately, he wasn’t really here to participate in club activities; he was just there to get a recommendation letter from the club president.
After thinking for a while, Mu You decided to be straightforward instead of beating around the bush, to save others from wasting their emotions on him.
[You find Charles and tell him the reason you’ve come: You hope he can help you write a recommendation letter for the level-up exam.]
[Immediate silence falls among the department members. Upon hearing your request, Charles’s face changes slightly.]
[However, good upbringing helps him maintain his composure. He doesn’t get angry with you but tells you in a calm tone: While he understands your needs, there are no shortcuts in the club. Anyone wanting a recommendation letter must meet the same condition, which is to beat him in the club’s ’Flying Competition.’]
[Flying Competition: Involving two or more participants who fly around a 1,200-meter obstacle course. Points will be deducted for collisions with or missing obstacles. When a participant’s lap speed drops below the standard speed, the scoring automatically ends. The final score will be determined based on the average lap speed, the number of obstacles successfully negotiated, the quality of each obstacle path, and the flying distance.]
[During the competition, no regenerative items can be used. Buff and disruption spells can be used, but damaging spells cannot. Anyone who deliberately causes harm to others will be disqualified.]
Mu You felt a headache coming on after reading this. As a beginner, having to compete directly against the strongest person in the club seemed excessively harsh, didn’t it?
If he were in the other world, he might have been able to cheat with his pocket watch, with a slim chance of beating the professional players. However, with his current opponents being game AIs, there’s no time to make choices in high-speed flight. The entire game depends on the judgments of the game character. What kind of game is this?
However, upon carefully reading the contest rules again, Mu You suddenly discovered a loophole: flying distance was also counted in the points, and there was no limit to it!
