Chapter 9 College Trials
A few days later, the annual trial of the Royal Academy of Magic of Belmar finally began.
The trial location is located near the Forest of Gran, and is a newly built well-equipped camp. Students who are eligible for the trial will start from here and conduct a one-week trial without any supplies and support.
"Dear students, it's the annual trial soon. The content of the assessment is to clean up mutant monsters in the forest. Record the results of the various monsters collected. The more they collect, the better the results. The drops of powerful monsters will be calculated with higher scores!" Academy Director Linde stood on the platform and gave the final mobilization speech with a loud voice. "After the assessment is over, the first team will receive the reward of transferring positions with the Principality Magic Formation! The college will provide all the materials!"
As soon as Dean Lin De said this, all the trialists were excited.
Although this is a tradition in the past, it is difficult for these young people, who are full of dreams and ambitions to keep calm when they think of their chance to change jobs in the most perfect state.
However, there are also people who are uneasy.
"The content of each assessment is different. I didn't expect that the trial of our session is so difficult. The damn mutation has made the monsters stronger."
"But this is also an opportunity to change jobs! Although it is a tradition to use the Principal Magic Formation, I didn't expect that the academy would even provide the materials this time. This is a real reward. If we were asked to prepare it ourselves, even if we had the opportunity to change jobs, it would have to be delayed for at least several months!"
The students had different expressions, some were happy and some were worried, some were ready to go, some called their friends and even Midi was slightly moved.
In the previous life, the rewards did not include materials for transfer. It seems that with my rebirth and different attitudes towards the surroundings, the world has also changed. This is probably the so-called butterfly effect?
A butterfly vibrates its wings and can trigger a storm on the other end of the sea. Small variables can eventually brew into a huge change through layers of influence.
Is it because of the change of camp? Midi thought, glanced at a distance.
Just at this moment, Fenriel Seth also turned his head and looked at Midie with a look of death.
Then, he smiled grimly and stretched out his hand and scratched his neck.
Fenrier's team is also very strong.
Unlike the arrogant Fina, the Seth family had already spent a lot of effort when Fenriel entered school and sent three generations of family servants with high quality to the academy together. In other words, from the beginning, he came in with a team that was enough to win the championship in the trial.
Now, all these servants have become 18-level college students, and they protect Fenriel like stars and moon. Midie has no doubt that if there is a need in the trial, they can reduce their level, or even their lives, to help their masters get good results as much as possible.
However, in Midi's opinion, this is not a team at all. It's just a boy with three hounds with his eyes. Perhaps it is indeed powerful in a head-on confrontation, but it cannot cope with the ever-changing environment in the wild.
What he was more worried about was whether any changes would happen to the assassin in his previous life.
After all, the rewards of the trial have changed.
What if the Seth family attracts more and stronger assassins because of their own change of camp?
A sense of helplessness and urgency enveloped his heart at the same time, but he quickly adjusted and recovered.
"No matter what, since things are happening, I shouldn't regret it. I am already by Fina's side. What I have to do next is to actively gain strength and make up for the regrets. Even if everything in the end becomes unrecognizable, I will never regret it!" Midie subconsciously glanced at the left arm in the glove.
He has not told anyone about becoming a ghost swordsman. This is the biggest trump card. The later it is exposed, the more he can get the initiative.
"In the name of the Director of the Magic Academy, I announce that the trial begins now!" Dean Linde said loudly.
Accompanied by the melodious sound of horns, countless students rushed to the Forest of Gran, as if what they were doing was not a battle trial, but a competitive race.
However, this is also a normal judgment. After all, in these three years, there are many tasks that need to be completed in the forest. Therefore, there are many areas that are familiar to the students and relatively safe and easy to hunt. Everyone knows the types, numbers, attack methods, terrain, etc. of the monsters in them very well.
As long as these areas are occupied in advance, the ability to clean up monsters efficiently is equivalent to taking the lead in the trial.
But of course Fina's group did not move.
Fenrier's team, as well as several other elite teams with level 18 members, did not move.
This is not about the aristocratic surplus or the gentleman's modesty, but because there is no need at all.
"It's rare. Granny Forest has also ushered in the annual situation of more people and fewer strangers. I wonder what it will be like in a while?" Lilian smiled sarcastically, and then looked at the red-haired girl, "Miss Fina, where are we going?"
"East." Fina said concisely.
That is the road to the poisonous ruins area deep in the Forest of Gran.
Even in the face of trials, the future Demon Bomb Queen has implemented her style without changing her face and chose the most difficult route from the beginning. This is based on her confidence in herself and her trust in her teammates.
"Midi." The red-haired girl glanced at the black-haired boy and added, "Don't hold back. If you have any questions, remember to say it."
"Understand." Midie replied with a smile.
With this sentence, the calm and calm Sigmund not to mention it. Lilian, who has always been suspicious, will not refuse Midi's request for help. Although Midi estimated that his combat power should be better than the two of them after possessing the Ghost Hand, the Queen of Storm still made him feel warm.
This is the team. Although it is still in the running-in period, it has pure and flawless bonds.
After seeing Fina choose the east route, several other elite teams chose the west route to enter the Grand Forest without hesitation - kidding, they don't want to compete head-on with the Queen of Storm. Even if they reach level 19 or even be known as elites, they are nothing in front of the red-haired girl.
Fenriel's eyes were flashing with a resentful light. He was not afraid of the monsters in the ruins of poison, and he also had the desire to compete with the Queen of Storm head, but when he thought of Fina's methods and orders from the head of the family, his sanity finally suppressed the impulse.
"Let's go in the middle!" Fenriel growled, "I saw other teams along the way, kill them!"
As the last team also entered the forest, the week-long trial officially kicked off.
"Fast, speed, a group of goblins were attracted by me!" A cadet ran wildly while shouting anxiously.
This student is a level 16 fighter. He is thin and fast. His long-term exercise has allowed him to surpass ordinary people at a young age. However, the goblins behind him are not slow after mutation. Although they cannot catch up, they are always attached far away. Moreover, the monsters' endurance is obviously much stronger than the pampered school students. In the long-distance pursuit, the goblins gradually gained the upper hand.
The scorching sun shines through the woods on the goblins, reflecting the blood-stained weapons in their hands, which are particularly terrifying.
"The monster has entered the encirclement, let's go!" The other three resident students who were ambushing in the tree finally appeared after the goblin group passed.
The young man responsible for attracting monsters also stopped at this moment, turned around, and threw the mines that ignited the fuse at the Goblins.
The thrown mines, together with mines buried in the grass, triggered a violent explosion, causing a tidy explosion that destroyed the originally neat team of Goblins.
"Go up, kill them all!" Regardless of the smoke, the students surrounded them and used their own skills.
This is a team with good luck, familiarity with the terrain and monster skills, so it hit a successful ambush.
Some teams were also trapped in an unfamiliar environment and struggled. What's worse, those who had already beaten the monsters to death but were stabbed by other teams. The two teams were quarreled and even internal fights broke out. Although no one died, the wounded caused them and had to withdraw.
In the camp outside the Forest of Gran, Academy Director Linde sat upright in the center tent, next to him, with several other main leaders of the academy, and many transferees above level 25 were constantly coming and going in the camp.
This is the second day of the trial.
"What's going on?" College Linde looked at the extremely detailed map of the Grand Forest on the table and asked a transferee who had just returned.
"Report to the President, so far, a total of four teams have been withdrawn, and two disputes have occurred, with three injured and not seriously injured. The teams that have withdrawn have been brought back. Please don't worry, sir." The transferee replied.
College Director Linde nodded slightly and said, "So, which teams have made faster progress so far?"
The transferor immediately replied: "Report to the Academy President, so far, Fina and Fenrier's team are relatively deep. Among them, Fenrier's team has entered the depths of the Gran Forest, and Fina's team has cleared several thunder ruins."
"It's true that the 'Storm Queen' is leading the way."
"Fenriel's performance is also good. It seems that the planning of the Seth family over the years has also been effective."
"Maybe Fenriel will come from behind. Isn't it said that there is a dandy who is only level 16 in Miss Fina's team? After a long time, he will definitely not be able to support him and will drag him down."
"You don't know, that's not a playboy. During the Miss Fina assessment a week ago, the student named Midi passed the Flame Challenge!"
The people in charge of the college discussed with each other.
"You go down." Director Linde nodded to the transferee, "Tell others that they must do a good job of protection. Winning or losing depends on the students' own abilities. However, there must be no safety problems, especially the teams of Fenriel and Fina, which is related to the honor of our Magic Academy."
"Yes, sir." The transferee retreated.
The Magic Academy has arranged many times for outdoor fighting, but this kind of wild survival trial that does not provide supplies and lasts for a week is the first time for the students, and it poses considerable risks. Although there are many civilians among these students, most of them are noble children. Once something happens, the pressure faced by the academy will be unimaginable. Therefore, the college will secretly arrange a large number of transferees above level 25 to monitor the entire assessment.
The main force at about level 30 is in charge of the camp and is ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
Linde is very satisfied with this arrangement. At least, there has never been a problem in the past ten years. Although the Queen's and the Councillors' sent this year look tense, isn't it the same before?
Chapter completed!
