After chatting with them for a bit more, the trio left the seniors with a goodbye and a purchase of a few of Wei Xianying's talismans. Since they took some time to familiarize with the seniors, they decided to line up for the Fist Department's competition.
As Bai Yaoxuan expected, the line for the Fist Department's competition was long, though not as long as the Sword Tournament. Rong Jian commented that it indeed looked longer than previous years. Since Shen Tianyu shared a bi of her food with the other two, they didn't stand on empty stomachs. They passed the time by chatting about miscellaneous things and occasionally fishing for information from their neighbors in line.
There were some people that came to watch because they heard a Gongzhu was competing. However, more people just thought to come watch the main attraction of the day, since it's not like they could go shopping all over the School grounds. Not everyone had enough money to buy everything on sale.
They finally arrived at the doors of the stadium after chatting for half a day. As soon as they saw Rong Jian's mask, the students guarding the entrance and managing admissions gave a respectful nod to the three of them and let them in with less fuss than the previous people.
"I wonder how they're going to make a competition with this kind of platform." Shen Tianyu commented as she sat down in her seat. The competition being held by the Fist Department was taking place in the same stadium she went to yesterday. Apparently, it's not necessary to use this stadium for the examination but it was the most flashy. It was the only structure accessible to the public that was this big.
It was still alright for the Sword Department's competition to be held here since it was flashy enough. However, the Fist Department focused on close combat so there's not much to see for those that are sitting far away since it'd just look like two people huddled together on the stage.
The Shield Array was carved into the side of the stage so any department could use it but the Sword Department used it most often due to various reasons stated before. The Talisman and Array Department students didn't need to come out all the way here and the Beast Taming Department's problems can usually be taken care of pretty quick. Also, the Shield Array doesn't work a few types of spiritual beasts so that was another reason they didn't use it.
"I wonder if it'll be the same format as yesterday." Bai Yaoxuan asked no one in particular.
"Dunno. I only knew about it on the day of." Shen Tianyu crossed her legs.
"Programs are usually decided by the Department elders." Rong Jian served his own piece of information.
...
Ming Yunyue smoothly sailed through the first round with the audience's attention on her. She managed to snag first place for her group, just like her friend Shen Tianyu. The team battle selection was kept since it saved time. Ming Yunyue partnered up with someone else in her competition group and managed to land them in third of the rankings of the team battle. She then snagged third through the process of the semifinals and finals.
The first place went to a man with a muscular build and a square face. The classic display of a muscle-head. Second place was a tan young man from some village far from the capital. He seemed more like a monkey than the mountain that the first place appeared to be. The first two took the opportunity given to them to have a bout with a senior student. Ming Yunyue, on the other hand, said that she wanted some serious instructions instead of a fight. What you can learn during a fight is limited, especially if the opponent is stronger than you.
When she left the stadium at the end of the day, Nian Yingge was waiting for his royal fiancée to congratulate her. Shen Tianyu stood a bit farther back and waited until they had their moment to approach.
"Congrats, Yunyue! Third place in a popular Department is quite a feat!" Shen Tianyu bounded over before they could suck on each other's faces in public.
"It's nothing. I still have much to learn. And it's irrelevant compared to your achievement." Ming Yunyue replied with a blushing face.
"That's not true at all. You shouldn't compare yourself to other people too much or you'll never be satisfied with yourself. Even I know people better than me. You should just take these compliments at face value and enjoy them." Shen Tianyu presented the other with a stick of lamb and vegetables kebab.
"Alright, I'll keep your words in mind." Ming Yunyue smiled kindly as she took her "gift" from Shen Tianyu. Bai Yaoxuan also offered her congratulations, while Rong Jian just gave a congratulatory nod. The five of them chatted until the entrance of the School before they let the couple finally have their moment.
"Don't stress your hips too much and remember to use protection!" Shen Tianyu reminded the two with a devious smile before running toff to Rong Jian's carriage.
The two of them, being a shy bunch, could only glare at her with red faces as they departed.
"Was it necessary to tease them like that?" Bai Yaoxuan giggled as she got on the wooden transportation vehicle.
"Why not? I'm just reminding them to be careful if they decide to do more in-depth congratulations." Shen Tianyu was buzzing with laughter while Rong Jian just gazed at her fondly.
Bai Yaoxuan just smiled wryly at them. She reckoned if anyone else had said what Shen Tianyu said, Zhu Wangye would not be making such a doting face.
