Zhan Wei fell silent for a moment and said, "I didn't join..."
The boy with the blue colour hairstyle frowned.
"But wait, there are nine people in the group of special admissions students. If it's not you, then who?" the boy with the blue colour hairstyle wondered.
Someone in the group had said that the best players always go last, and then everyone in the group said they wanted to be the last one.
Li Yang, the tallest boy among them, later suggested that they all gather together and arrive together when it was close to the exam time.
Everyone in the group was self-awakened
There were five special admission spots at Shengshui High School this time, and in the future, they might all be from the same school. It made sense to get to know each other in advance and build relationships.
So they all agreed to Li Yang's proposal.
Now, there's only one minute left until 9:20, and the girl in front of them is the ninth person. Everyone should be here before starting.
"Are there 10 people in this special recruitment?"
Just as the boy with the blue colour hairstyle was about to say something, a horrifying cry suddenly came from behind him.
He turned his head and saw a four-legged creature with a long, thin tail. Most of its body was blue, with only its wings being gray-black. It was a flying-type advanced pet with a thick, armored shell. It appeared about 3 to 4 meters above the ground.
It was a Jie Jia Ying, an advanced pet.
Zheng Guo Ping frowned as he looked at the Jie Jia Ying. Shengshui High School did not allow foreign pets to enter. He was about to step forward to stop it, but he saw a figure jump down from the back of the Jie Jia Ying.
"Dad, you go ahead," the young boy who jumped down waved his hand and said.
The man riding on the back of the Jie Jia Ying nodded, then the Jie Jia Ying flew away.
"Teacher, am I late?" the young boy walked up to the group of teachers and asked.
"Lu Liang Ye, right? You're the last one. You made it just in time, but if you were two seconds later, you would have been late," Zheng Guo Ping taunted.
Lu Liang Ye smiled but didn't say anything, his eyes unconsciously glanced at the other examinees.
Except for Zhan Wei, everyone understood his meaning.
How about that? The experts always come out last!
The crowd: "..."
Damn it! We've been fooled by him!
Sun Bo clapped his hands to gather everyone together and said, "Now that everyone's here, let's start the exam."
"Do you all know the rules of the exam? I'll explain them again."
"There are ten people, paired up with each other. The first five winners will rest, and the remaining five losers will compete to determine one winner. Together with the initial five winners, they will form six groups."
"These six people will be divided into three groups, with the top three winners in each group. The three losers will compete again to eliminate one person. Finally, the remaining five will earn the qualification to be recruited by our St. Water High School."
Got it.
In other words, it's all about luck.
If you're paired up with a strong opponent right from the beginning, you can only accept your bad luck. After all, out of the initial five losers, four will be eliminated.
"For the sake of fairness, we will draw lots to decide. Numbers 1 to 5 have two papers each, and if two people get the same number, they will automatically form a group," Qin Wen said, taking out a wooden box.
Soon, everyone finished drawing their lots.
"Let's start with number 1, who got number 1?" Qin Wen asked.
"It's me," Lu Liang Ye raised his eyebrows and showed the paper in his hand.
"Who is the other number 1?" Qin Wen continued.
At this moment, a hand was raised on the side.
"It's me."
It was Zhan Wei.
On the stands, in the row closest to the field, the other eight candidates sat side by side.
One of the handsome boys asked, "Who do you think will win?"
"It's probably the boy. His beast is a Fire Fang Dog," Zheng Yinin replied.
When he had just approached them earlier, he had observed from a close distance that the relationship between the Fire Fang Dog and the boy seemed quite harmonious. It didn't look like the typical new recruit beast tamer with a contract with a fire-type beast that the internet had talked about.
He figured that commanding the Fire Fang Dog in battle shouldn't be a problem.
"It's not necessarily the case. Do you guys know who that Lu Liangye is?" Li Yang, who was standing nearby, joined the discussion.
"The Invincible King."
"That guy in the group chat who said that experts are all stupid for being the last ones to arrive."
Li Yang: "..."
"Last September, he awakened spontaneously. Zanggang City News even reported about him. If it wasn't for the end of that year's entrance exam, he would probably be a freshman at the Litan Beast Taming High School now," Li Yang explained.
"So how did he end up participating in the special admission exam at Shengshui High School?" The handsome boy was shocked.
It wasn't that he looked down on Shengshui High School, but Litan Beast Taming High School was the only school in Zhehai Province that overshadowed Shengshui High School.
After all, when the first option is right in front of you, who would choose the second one?
Furthermore, even if he chose Shengshui High School, he should have been admitted directly, right? So why did he participate in the special admission exam? Doesn't that mean that one out of the five spots is definitely his?
"I don't know," Li Yang replied.
Who knows what Lu Liangye, this attention-seeking person, is thinking.
Zheng Yinin listened to the conversation and felt sympathy for the boy on the field.
Even though he had the Fire Fang Dog, his opponent was the person with the highest chance of winning first place. To encounter him in the first round, he really had no luck.
