"Sigh—" The directors could only take a deep breath to ease the pressure in their hearts before continuing to inquire.
"If there's a half-hour halftime break, to what extent can recovery be achieved?" Dragging out the scene for half an hour was the limit for Saint Yingo. Under normal circumstances, the halftime break would only be ten minutes.
"Roughly 80%-90%" The other party's glasses flashed a series of data, quickly arriving at an analytical result.
"That's all we can hope for then." Hearing the answer, although not particularly satisfied, the directors didn't find it too unfavorable either.
"During this half hour, we'll have to trouble Master Blavins." The directors bowed deeply again, entrusting the renowned physician especially invited by Saint Yingo, and then left the room.

"I'll go and communicate with the venue managers, have them agree to insert a 20-minute lecture midway through. The speaker will be Master Gekai from 'Baiyan Valley Academy' in the Central Star Domain." One of the directors in a suit, tall in stature, turned and instructed his companion beside him.
"Go and invite Madame Guli Flamer from the 'Golden Lands' faction; she's like half a teacher to Sevia La. She's currently on the third floor, in VIP room B-214. If you can persuade her to bestow a special blessing on the faction before Sevia La's appearance, it might just level the playing field regarding the injuries."
"I understand, but we've already expended quite a lot of resources and favors just to have her assist the Academy students with special training this time. Asking her now to bless before the competition, I fear she might not want to get involved."
The 'Golden Lands' faction specializes in the Natural Sequence, and its faction's Secret Techniques are mostly related to Fairies, and the Fairy Incarnation that Sevia La used was learned from this faction.
Although the relationship between the 'Golden Lands' faction and Saint Yingo isn't bad, if they were to give Sevia La a blessing during the competition, it could easily turn into an allegation of cheating in public opinion, damaging the reputation of the 'Golden Lands' faction.
Furthermore, teaching Sevia La the Fairy Incarnation, a high-level Secret Technique generally taught at university, is already somewhat unfair to the other competitors. If the situation is further exacerbated, it could trigger a series of public opinion crises, which is why the director felt it unlikely that the other party would agree.
"I know it's difficult, but we must secure the championship of this great competition! We have no other options, do you understand?" The tall director suppressed the emotions in his heart and emphasized once more.
"Understood, it was my inertia of thought just now." The few people present weren't fools; they quickly grasped the current situation. Now was not the time to be stingy and back down.
"I'll go too, and try to offer some resources of interest for the exchange, to satisfy Madame Guli Flamer." Another middle-aged noblewoman stepped forward. She had platinum hair and slightly pointed ears, indicating she likely had some Elf Bloodline.
"Great, I'll go find Master Gekai. He's an old friend of ours, and for him, giving a 20-minute lecture at the last minute is nothing difficult. As for the event organizers, we have well-connected friends who will make as much time as possible for us within the rules."
"Let's get moving now."
Saint Yingo's top brass began to take action systematically, and not long after, the host at the venue announced that this Winter Festival's competition had the rare honor of hosting a master from a well-known Academy in the Central Star Domain, to lecture the students and competitors present about making choices for the future and life experiences.
Soon after, a round of warm applause broke out as a middle-aged man in snow-white clothing, with hints of gray in his hair, stepped onto the stage.
Unknowingly, the audience's attention was captured by this 'Baiyan Valley Academy' master, gradually immersed in his humorous and witty words.
On the wall above the venue, the hanging clock was silently ticking, stretching the initially ten-minute halftime break, and continuing to move along.
