Regardless of expectations or fears, what is supposed to come will eventually come.
The year-end assessment for the freshmen of Guano Royal Academy has begun.
The sky was gloomy, with scattered snowflakes floating, which added a bit of a solemn atmosphere to this fateful assessment.
The twenty-three students of this class stood in a circle around the 500-square-meter circular competition arena, and stepped forward one by one to draw lots.
The year-end assessment of Guano Academy uses a competition to determine the performance ranking. Students draw lots to determine their opponents. The winner will advance to the next round of competition, and the top scorer will eventually be awarded a scholarship.
The losers in the first round will also compete against each other. The winner will pass the test smoothly, while the losers will need to continue competing until the final eliminated one is determined.
The one who is ultimately eliminated may not be the one with the worst strength, but it must be the one with the least luck, because luck is also a part of strength. And there is no restriction on the use of enchanted equipment, magic scrolls and other items during the competition, because wealth is also a part of strength.
The entire assessment process is a true reflection of His Majesty Stacey's military philosophy. The winner is king, regardless of the process. Only living people have a chance to speak. History is written by the victors!
"The assessment has begun, please invite the students who have drawn the No. 1 lottery to come on stage." The person who presided over the assessment was the great magician Austin. He came on stage without any nonsense and directly announced the start.
The assessments are conducted one after another. The academy also regards assessments as part of practical teaching. It is hoped that students can learn to find the weaknesses of magicians of different departments by observing other people's battles.
Joan, who drew the No. 1 lottery, was still dressed in white. He walked calmly to the center of the competition field, first bowed to the great magician Austin with a smile, and then saluted to the surrounding students.
Arthur in the audience curled his lips. Joan was always polite and well-liked in front of outsiders, making even those who hated him unable to hate him.
Joan's opponent was a tall and lanky young man. He walked onto the field with a calm face after Joan.
After the two of them opened a distance of twenty meters and stood facing each other, Austin officially called the start. Because it takes a certain amount of time for a magician to cast a spell, the battle must be at a certain distance to create time for the spell to be cast.
The tall and thin boy came up and first raised a wooden wall in front of him. This is the most common way for magicians to fight. They first give themselves a layer of protection, and then release attack magic to cause damage.
While the opponent was protecting himself, Qing walked forward for more than ten meters in a hurry, then magically took out a magic scroll and tore it open.
A huge fire dragon roared out from the scroll, and the wooden wall in front of the tall and thin boy was instantly reduced to ashes. The scorching temperature made the students watching around him couldn't help but take two steps back.
And the young man opposite Qing was completely frightened, and the attack magic he was about to cast was completely interrupted. The huge fire dragon was too shocking for a second-level magician.
When the flames were so hot that his face hurt, and the fire dragon was about to swallow the boy in one gulp, a bolt of lightning suddenly fell from the sky and scattered the fire dragon.
"Joan wins." Austin directly announced the results of the assessment. Naturally, he was the one who took action just now. As an examiner, he also has the responsibility to ensure the safety of students. He can't just have a few casualties in an actual combat assessment.
"It's so shameless. You just use the 'Fire Dragon Technique' when you come up. What else can you do!" Arthur cursed in a low voice.
"It's such a rogue!" Moral next to Arthur actively agreed, "Brother, if I don't use the method you taught me to borrow two magic scrolls of 'Fire Dragon Technique' from Joan, will he lend them to me? ?"
"Please invite the students who have drawn the No. 2 lottery to come on stage." Austin has already announced the start of the second round.
A girl with a delicate face and petite figure walked onto the fighting field, but her opponent did not come on stage.
"You're so lucky, you're not going to get a bye, right?" Some people started talking below.
"I'm counting to three. If another student doesn't come on stage, it will be a direct loss. 3..." Austin's great magician has already stretched out his notes and started counting the seconds.
"This game seems to be a bye. Brother, what's your date? It's my turn to play in the next game." Moral kept talking when he was nervous.
"1..."
"Wait, he's here! He's here!" When Moral said it was his turn, Arthur remembered to take a look at the lot in his hand.
When Arthur jumped out, the smile on the girl's face a second ago suddenly turned into an expression that was about to cry without tears. Since taking care of IRAO, Arthur has almost become the recognized king of weirdos among this freshmen class. The result of facing Arthur is inevitable.
"Can I surrender voluntarily?" The girl looked at the great magician Austin with a cry.
"Glory needs blood to defend. If you encounter an enemy stronger than yourself, you will retreat. You don't even have the courage to fight. You are not worthy of being called a student of our Guano Academy. Those who take the initiative to admit defeat will be eliminated directly." Austin's loud and majestic voice spoke at every turn. There was a buzzing in the students' ears.
"I'll fight!" the girl replied with a sullen face, gritting her silver teeth.
"Start!"
As soon as Austin finished speaking, the "Wind Technique" under Arthur's feet was activated instantly, and the person rushed out like a bolt of lightning. The distance of twenty meters was instantly shortened. Before the girl's defensive spell could even be released, Arthur was already in front of her. The giant sword of falling stars struck the girl in the face with a sound of wind.
"Ah!" The girl screamed loudly throughout the room and squatted on the ground holding her head.
Arthur's sword stopped in midair above her head.
"Arthur wins."
Arthur bared his teeth at Austin and ran off the stage in a hurry. From the time he took action to the time he stepped off the stage, it took less than ten seconds.
"You said Joan, I think you are even more rogue!" Moral muttered from below.
The first two games ended very quickly, which made several professors who usually taught in the audience shake their heads. They felt that the magic classes they had taught for more than half a year were in vain. The ones used by Joan and Arthur were not magicians. Fighting style.
Fortunately, there are only two weirdos in the magic department: Arthur and Joan. The two young men competing on stage are normal magicians.
The two of them, one a fire magician and the other an earth magician, first set up a fire shield and an earth shield in front of themselves respectively.
The fire magician began to move quickly, throwing continuously generated fireballs at the opponent while moving, occasionally mixed with one or two rapidly fired rockets.
Earth magicians also move quickly on the field, and judge the opponent's movement direction and position. From time to time, thorns suddenly stab out from the ground, and occasionally throw out a few swamp spells to set traps on the field.
Hand distance and magic shooting, this is the orthodox way of fighting for magicians.
They are both second-level magicians, and they are both on guard against each other. Although the fight between you and me is fierce, it is difficult to determine the winner in a short time. I am afraid that the winner can only be determined when one of the parties runs out of magic.
While the magic department students are still flying kites to each other from a long distance, the warrior department's assessment on the other side has already been completed with fists and bayonets red...
