Chapter 1019 Before the Competition

After confirming that Naruse Mio was determined to join the Tribunal, Duanmuhuai handed her all the "biographies" written by Mary. After all, it contains all the Tribunal operations that Mary participated in. After reading it, Naruse Mio should understand the responsibilities and action plans of the Tribunal.

Rias seemed to be very interested in this, so Duanmuhuai also gave her a set.

Regarding the issue of Naruse Mio's life experience, it has come to an end now. Duanmuhuai doesn't care how Sergekes handles it. Anyway, if anyone dares to trouble Naruse Mio again, the Inquisition will kill him without mercy...

And his other work is also going smoothly.

"——————!"

As the last tune ended, the entire music classroom fell into silence. Taki raised his head, looked at the people in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Good, that's it."

"call-----!"

Hearing Teacher Taki's approval, the students below all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Remember this rhythm, and you must do it to this level in the competition... Teacher Duanmu, do you have anything to say?"

"I?"

Duanmu Huai, who was standing in the corner of the music classroom, was stunned for a moment when he saw everyone looking at him.

"I...have nothing to say. Well, you guys are finally out of tune, and my ears don't have to be hurt anymore. This is a good thing."

"Hahaha………"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, the members of the wind band club also laughed in a low voice. Just as Duanmu Huai said, it is not only painful for Duanmu Huai to be out of tune all the time, but also for them. Being able to regain their rhythm now, and in the presence of Duanmu Huai, gave these members of the wind band club a feeling of fighting their way out of a hail of bullets and escaping.

For example, when Duanmu Huai first arrived, the members of the wind band club were like new recruits who had just entered the battlefield. They were so scared that they peed their pants when they heard the sound of gunfire. But after such a long period of "tempering", they have lost their original youthfulness and become veterans who will not change their color even if the mountain collapses.

"Then, the next step is a very important thing."

At this moment, Taki spoke again, and upon hearing his voice, everyone hurriedly turned their heads and looked at him again. Then Taki glanced at everyone in the classroom and then spoke.

"There are a total of eighty-two members in this year's wind band club, ten of whom are beginners, so only the remaining seventy-two members can actually participate in the competition. However, Division A only allows a maximum of fifty-five people to participate. , therefore, I decided to conduct the selection two days before the final exam.”

"………………"

After hearing Taki's words, the atmosphere in the music classroom, which was originally relatively relaxed, instantly became tense again.

"Taki-sensei!"

At this moment, a third-year student stood up and protested to Taki.

"We used to decide the members in order of age. Considering the order of seniority, wouldn't it be natural for the experienced first-year students to go to Department B?"

"But that's unfair."

Faced with the protests from the third-year students, Taki's smile did not change at all.

"The first grade also has a lot of hard-working and capable members. I don't think it's appropriate to decide who will compete based on age alone."

"But that's what we decided all along!"

"But I am the consultant now, so why should we use the past methods?"

As he spoke, Long looked at Duanmu Huai.

"Teacher Duanmu, what do you think?"

"………………"

Hearing Long's words, everyone looked at Duanmu Huai again. Even the protesting third-year student turned his head and stared at him uneasily. Under the gaze of everyone, Duanmu Huai just snorted.

"Indeed, considering that the third-year students are about to graduate, it is also a good choice to make good memories before they graduate."

"So……………"

Perhaps they didn't expect Duanmuhuai to agree with their opinions. Several third-year students showed expressions of surprise and excitement, but then Duanmuhuai changed the subject.

"But, that's only if everyone has fun playing music together. Isn't your goal the national competition? Then everything must make way for the national competition. Yes, results are everything! Those who have the ability will enter. Only with strong talents can we participate in the national competition!"

Having said this, Duanmuhuai stared at them coldly.

"What? Do you think you can participate in the national competition and win the championship by shouting a few slogans such as friendship bonds dreams? Is this a competition for who can shout the loudest slogan? The wind band club has not had any outstanding results before. Isn’t it caused by your stupid behavior of ranking seniority according to age?!”

"………………!"

The surging anger broke out from Duanmu Huai again, which also made the members of the Wind Band Club all turn pale - but they had to admit that although Duanmu Huai spoke very shamelessly, this was indeed the truth.

"If you don't want to, just try your best to prevent yourself from being eliminated. I don't understand music, but it's the same when it comes to sports. I have no reason not to let fast students participate in competitions, and to let those who run slowly A turtle is put on the track and you run slowly. No matter how much you dream, no matter how hard you try, or how much you shout slogans, if you just can't outrun others, then it's all meaningless. Competitive competitions don't believe in tears. , don’t believe in dreams, only believe in strength! Everyone has various reasons to participate in the competition, but there can only be one champion, and this has nothing to do with dreams and hopes, it is entirely a matter of strength!”

Having said this, Duanmu Huai put his hands on his hips and looked coldly at the members of the wind band club again.

"That's my opinion. Any questions?"

"………………"

Even if there is a problem now, it must be okay!

"Then, it's decided."

Taki clapped his hands again, drawing everyone's attention back.

"I will send out the music scores now and ask everyone to go back and practice. Both the prescribed songs and the self-selected songs will be assessed. The solo department will also be decided through selection. Please be mentally prepared."

After that, Duanmu Huai and Long also left respectively, while the others had different expressions - after all, Duanmu Huai's aura when he was angry before was so terrifying that they almost failed to get used to it.

The third graders left first, then the second graders, and the first graders stayed on to take charge of restoring the music room to its original appearance.

"To be honest, I almost fainted when Teacher Duanmu got angry."

Kato Hazuki whispered while moving tables and chairs.

"It feels like a tiger is roaring in front of you, and there's no railing between us..."

"Yeah yeah………"

Others nodded, but soon everyone focused on another issue.

"What do you think about the selection of soloists?"

"There is no doubt that the violinist will be chosen by classmate Mary. On the contrary, the competition for the trumpet is more intense."

As they spoke, they turned their attention to another girl who was silently carrying the desk.

It is not unreasonable for everyone to say this, because in the competition before the national competition, the large-scale orchestra must perform two designated pieces and one of their own choice. The designated repertoire is a set of pieces designated by the competition organizing committee, and then the orchestra chooses one of them to perform, while the optional repertoire is the piece chosen by the orchestra itself.

According to Taki, given the current situation of the wind band club, it would be difficult to beat other prestigious schools in the designated repertoire anyway, so the only choice is to focus on self-selected repertoire.

Therefore, the piece of free choice that Taki chose was "Emmanuel" composed by French composer Michel Colombier. The special thing about this piece is that it is basically a duet between violin and trumpet. Others It belongs entirely to the background. But in turn, this puts very high demands on violinists and trumpet players.

It was precisely because of Mary's participation that Taki chose this piece of music.

Of course, Duanmu Huai doesn't understand music, but after listening to Long's thoughts on choosing this piece of music, his thoughts are basically - the two gods bring a lot of pitfalls.

To put it bluntly, if these two masters can take off in rhythm, then this song will be the killer move of the wind band club. Even a group of rookies can follow them into the opponent's spring.

But on the other hand, if two people can't bring it together, then the whole line will collapse and be completely destroyed. It would be more convenient to just vote twenty times.

Taking risks is taking risks, but after all, the strength of this wind band club is like this. If you don't take the wrong path and want to win, it is basically wishful thinking.

Everyone has no opinion on Mary's violin ability. As the saying goes, experts can tell whether it is good or not as soon as it is played, but Duanmu Huai can't tell. The only impression is whether it sounds good or not. But as soon as they heard it, those in the wind band club knew that the other party was not at the same level as themselves. Not to mention that there was only one violinist named Mary, so there was no way she would be chosen.

On the contrary, it's the trumpet side...

Kumiko Huangzen looked uneasily at the black-haired girl not far away. That was her friend and one of the trumpeters, Reina Kosaka.

Even Duanmu Huai understands, and they naturally understand that whether they can break through the competition and enter the country this time depends entirely on the solo performance of the first violinist and trumpet. Mary's strength is reassuring, and there is nothing wrong with her.

But on the trumpet side... Frankly speaking, there are really very few who can keep up with Mary's rhythm.

To be honest, this is actually a very rare thing, because generally speaking, although the violin is faster in rhythm than the wind instruments that need to breathe, in terms of volume, the wind instruments are actually the loudest.

If the violin and the trumpet sound at the same time, it must be the trumpet that suppresses the sound of the violin.

However, the sound of Mary's violin is very special. No matter how loud the wind instrument is, the sound of her violin can be heard without any obstruction and can be clearly heard by everyone.

On the one hand, Mary's skills are great, but of course, on the other hand, more importantly... Mary's violin is extraordinary.

Yes, Mary's fiddle is a bard's instrument from the world of Faerûn.

You know, in the world of Faerûn, bards don't just tell stories and sing in taverns, they also participate in battles and play music during the battle to add BUFF to their companions.

It is conceivable that a battle will not be as quiet as a concert venue. There are roars of warriors, explosions of fireballs, and various sound, color, and light effects. If you want to play music in this state, you have to let people If you can hear it, ordinary musical instruments will definitely not work.

What Mary got was such a violin. Legend has it that this was once the instrument of a certain harpist. Its characteristic is that it can play a clear sound no matter what the situation - yes, even under silence or dragon. No exception is made in Roar.

After all, for bards, music is their weapon.

The only pity is that Mary's Golden Eyes are equivalent to constant true knowledge, which completely prohibits her from using illusions. Otherwise, Mary alone would be enough to support an entire orchestra.

Of course other people don't know about this, but they just think that Mary's violin is special - this is not surprising. Many people can use their own instruments, which is more convenient and convenient, and some are indeed better than those of the wind club. better. The instrument is the player's weapon. There is no reason why you should complain that the opponent's weapon is better than yours when you go to the battlefield.

Kumiko highly recognized Kousaka Rena's strength.

But Reina Kosaka is a first-year student after all, and the trumpet group has several senior third-year students...

Is she really okay?
