Thank You, "Michael Covington", For Becoming A Member On My Pa'treon. The Emperor Protect.

Sorry for not uploading these past few days, I was busy with my uni exam and thesis.
-----------
On the examination square, the candidates who quit were blacked out, not as many as those in the first wave but there were quite a few. Just there in Atlanta, there were over 100,000 people who got eliminated in this wave, even Okabe, and Wright, such outstanding students who ranked in the top five in their respective schools, were also not able to survive this.
They fell at the feet of the Undead Knight and on the Genius List, there were several other geniuses as well who were eliminated. It was very surprising.
[ ===== ]
In the conference room of Oakleaf School.
"This year's competition is a bloodbath, so many geniuses are eliminated in the first two waves." A teacher was lamenting.
"Yeah, in previous years, the first two waves were just like warming up." Another teacher chimed in.
"This should be the most difficult combat test in history, right?" A teacher asked.
"There is no doubt. Anyway, even after many decades, this one is the hardest." An elderly teacher nodded.
"Even Brian, and Okabe, our school's top, are eliminated, only a few others are left, I guess." A leader looked at the projection.
There were the real-time results of every candidate of Oakleaf School but because there were also a lot of candidates from their school, they did not pay attention to all. They could only focus on the most promising ones.
In the first two waves, everyone thought that passing should not be a problem with the strength of Lucy and Sebastian, instead, they paid more attention to other students.
"It's almost a total loss." While projecting, Nelissen shook her head and said, "Our school is ranked in the top thirty, and after this wave, there are only three candidates left."
Hearing this, other teachers and leaders were helpless. That was the sad thing about small schools, most of the students were not of good quality. This year's test was particularly difficult, even in the previous years, the students of their school were able to survive the third wave the most but this was different from previous years.
This year, everyone's expressions were not so depressing, after all, three other students were still there. Among them, there were even two candidates who had great hopes of going far ahead.
"Let's check out the ranking list," Merlin instructed.
Nelissen immediately cast the projection.
At the same time, in the examination square, a huge ranking containing all the candidates in the State was out in front of each candidate's position. From top to bottom, the grades and rankings of all candidates were displayed. The first place was very dazzling, the results shown were 1 hour 02 minutes 10 seconds.
This was the finish time, including the first wave and the second wave together, so that meant the higher the ranking was, the less time it would take.
The second place went 1 hour 05 minutes 13 seconds.
Third place went 1 hour 06 minutes 39 seconds.
Etc...
The top 10 rankings were all under 1 hour and 10 minutes, so that meant the competition was very fierce. Even the top 100 were within 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Seeing this ranking, Nelissen said with a smile: "This year is a free-for-all. Everyone has fought hard, even though the first two waves were so intense."
"This year not only has the most talent, but it is also the most difficult year in history." Steiner nodded and said, "According to this trend, the further you go, the more difficult it will be. The students also see it, so they have to fight more to widen the gap ahead. Who would dare to keep their trump card? If they encounter a more difficult wave later, who can guarantee that anyone can control the time?"
At that time, everyone saw the passing scene of many famous geniuses, almost all of them were pump.
"Look at Bailey." Nelissen flipped the projection and immediately, the results of Bailey were displayed.
Of course, the charts only had results and rankings, there were no names of individual candidates. It was up to the people out there to sort out the specific information. For the people of Oakleaf School, Bailey had always been the object of attention. Once the leaderboard comes out, they'll know which one was Bailey.
"1 hour, 52 minutes, 45 seconds, ranked 250."
After that, Nelissen read out Lucy's rank, "2 hours, 01 minutes, 08 seconds, ranked 560."
"Lucy has a good score." Steiner nodded and said, "But Bailey still didn't use the third race she created with the Heart of the Stars."
"Indeed, it's not used, as she saved it for the later waves," Nelissen said.
"It's not that urgent. It's enough to be in the top three hundred in the first two waves." Steiner also understood what Bailey did, and then said, "By the way, what about Sebastian?"
"Yes." Nelissen looked a bit odd as she flipped out the projection and pointed to a ranking on it, saying, "This is Sebastian's result."
Seeing the results and rankings above, the teachers were slightly stunned.
"This kid, what is he doing? Why is he so behind?" Steiner couldn't help but complain.
[ ===== ]
At that time, Sebastian in the examination room also found his ranking.
"Ranked 9881?" Sebastian blinked slightly. Why is this ranking so familiar?
After thinking carefully, he speculated that it was his ranking on the Genius List. If this was not the examination space, Sebastian thought that the two rankings were mistaken to be the same, but Sebastian was not surprised. On the contrary, he still felt that this ranking was a bit high.
After all, when he faced the Undead Knights in the second wave, the last act of capturing them by the Astra Militarum wasted too much time, resulting in poor performance. The ranking was not high enough but Sebastian didn't stop it either.
For him, this ranking didn't determine the overall championship, so it was not much use for him. According to the grading standard of the assessment, this subject had a total score of 400 points and each wave was 50 points.
As long as the candidates passed the first two waves, they got 100 points and the rankings were just the distinction under the same score. In other words, if the exams were over now, the first place in the State was for the candidate who ranked first. Hence, the crowd outside only had very little attention for this leaderboard or they didn't care.
[ ===== ]
The one who was even more concerned about Sebastian's performance than Oakleaf School was the editorial office branch of the "Genius Newspaper".
"Who still dares to question our Ranking now? Which one of you still dares to question it?" An editor looked at Sebastian's ranking and said loudly, "Is it accurate? I just asked you if it's accurate. How much you will be ranked has already been completely determined for you. Even if you got full marks in all three subjects on the first day and beat two records, so what? Didn't we make it clear?"
"Calm Down." Another editor said: "It's not too late to wait until the combat assessment is over."
"There's no need to wait." The previous young editor slapped the thick ranking that his friend had just printed out, and shouted, "As far as the difficulty of this year's assessment is concerned, I can say, if this Sebastian can break through the fourth round, I'll take this ranking and eat it on the spot."
[ ===== ]
"The third round of assessment begins, candidates are requested to be prepared, the third wave of Supernatural Invasion will arrive in ten seconds." The ghostly prompting sounded, getting all students to focus.
Some candidates were very nervous, but everyone was taking a deep breath of air. There was no other way, the first two waves were so hard, so this third wave would be at a higher level, according to the past practice of the examinations.
Sebastian was also aware that the second wave was much more difficult than the first wave. It was not comparable to the increased difficulty of the second wave compared to the first wave because the difficulty of this exam was divided according to the level of the planet.
A Level 1 or Level 2 planet was usually called the Primary Planet in the outside world, while a Level 3 planet was an Intermediate Planet, it was out of the league. The same was true for the difficulty of the test, the 1st and 2nd waves were at one level of difficulty, while the 3rd and 4th were at another level.
"Here we go, here we go."
"The 3rd is coming. In previous years, some geniuses couldn't pass the 3rd, so this year, it will be more difficult. I don't know how many geniuses will fall."
"According to the previous point of view, the difficulty of the 2nd of Undead Knights is comparable to the 3rd of previous years, so... this 3rd is estimated to be the difficulty of the 4th of previous years."
[ ===== ]
In the Mayor's hall, people were all looking up and the discussion grew louder. To be honest, the first two waves were a little boring to watch for them, who were at least Level 4 Planet Masters. If not for the fact that Supernatural invasive species in the 1st and 2nd waves were somewhat special, they would almost feel sleepy.
The third wave was different, it was one of the great joys of watching the combat assessment. They witnessed the geniuses being eliminated, especially those top tier who were ranked on the Genius List and were quite famous. In the first two waves, Brian, Kita, and other's unexpected outings let them have a lot of fun.
[ ===== ]
"I wonder who this teacher is this year? It's horrifying. Not only is the difficulty increasing, but the Supernatural species showing up is also extremely rare." Edward said with a smile.
Lucy was ranked among the top 600 in the first two waves, it made him feel quite joyful.
Another teacher said, "This 3rd wave is also estimated to have a rare species."
"Here we go, here we go." Everyone turned to look.
They were waiting to see the image on top of the projection and soon, all of them were stunned.
[ ===== ]
In the Royal Tombs Mountains, from the Planet Passage, a strong ambiance surged once again. As compared to the previous two waves, it was even more intense. Many Guardsmen of the Astra Militarum on the city walls that were farther apart could feel that atmosphere, the faces of Cross and other generals were slightly grim.
With a flash of light, dozens of huge figures appeared from the passage. After those figures completely passed through the passage, everyone could see them. It had a very large head. Its whole body was black and gray, with a thick fishtail dragging behind it like a monster. These monsters were immense, as they were more than 3 meters tall.
The previous Zombies and Undead Knights were Supernatural species but their body type was still normal. These fish-tailed, big-headed monsters were not only tall, but their body also looked very large.
"Murloc?" Sebastian thought of one of the more famous Supernatural species, as he was able to recognize them.
Everyone was a little surprised. In this third wave, a common species appeared. Was the teacher who created the test no longer making things difficult for them? It was just that, after a careful observation of the surroundings, everyone discovered that these Murloc seemed to be the same as those common Murloc.
[ ===== ]
Many teachers and planet masters who were watching the battle also recognized it in an instant. This species of the third wave was not special.
"Murloc? This is the 3rd wave?"
"Take a good look, the Murloc's race is divided into several types. Look at what these Murloc are."
"Let's see... F*ck-! No way, this is an advanced civilization race and it came out on the 3rd wave?"
In the City Hall, the discussion of people came to an unprecedented level, after seeing the appearance of these Murloc. They were naturally familiar with the common Supernatural species of the Murloc, but there were many different kinds of Murloc.
The more common ones were, swamp Murloc, deep sea Murloc, desert Murloc, rainforest Murloc, lakeside Murloc, and more. This was a powerful group and almost all of them were above intermediate civilization. Many of the candidates also cultivated this Supernatural species.
The pattern of regular Murloc and the one coming out of the passage didn't quite match. The ones that were crawling out of the passage were larger and the most conspicuous was their head.
"Among all the Murloc, there is one of the most powerful and the only advanced civilization." Edward looked at the projection and said with a smile, "It's the Deep Sea Murloc for the 3rd wave. Look at the middle of their heads, there is a little golden yellow color."
Everyone else saw it too. It was at the head of these massive Murloc.
