Guano Academy, the competition field.
The young man with long black hair danced the giant sword in his hand vigorously, his movements were like a swimming dragon, his sword was like a shooting star catching up with the moon, his horizontal sword was like an iron chain sealing the river, and his sword cuts were like rushing thunder. Fighting energy overflowed, and the sword shadow was full. Sky.
The sword was withdrawn, and the sword shadows all over the sky disappeared, leaving only the young warrior standing with the sword.
Three years later, the young boy who first entered the academy has become a full-blooded young man.
"Fat man, come up here, I'll practice with you." Arthur raised his fingers to Moral in the audience.
"Shall I go up there to find abuse?" Moral shook his head like a rattle.
"If you continue to dawdle, how will you pass this year's assessment?"
Moral chuckled and said, "Boss, I'm going to lie down. This year's assessment method has been changed."
"Changed? Why didn't I know?" Arthur put away his giant sword and walked to the sidelines.
"Have you paid attention to anything else besides cultivation this year?"
Arthur kicked Moral, "Stop talking nonsense, tell me, what are the college's preparations for the exam this year?"
"According to convention, the assessment for the third year of the academy is the Blood Trial."
"The Blood Trial? No wonder people say we are a weird academy, we always do these weird things." Arthur muttered, but he didn't pay attention to the next trial at all.
No wonder Arthur complained, within the Kingdom of Isaac, the way Blood Lao Academy trains students has always been unique. The Scarlet Trial in the third academic year is actually a practical assessment, which requires students to work in teams to complete practical tasks. The actual tasks every year vary from hunting monsters, clearing bandits, maintaining public security, etc. The purpose is to test the students' ability to complete the tasks in the classroom. Learn the ability to apply in actual combat.
"The college's assessment mission for this year has just been determined. It is to clear out several groups of wind bandits near the royal city. It will officially set off in three days, leaving students two days to form a team. Boss, I'm determined to follow you!"
"The assessment location is not in the academy?" Arthur was focused on another point.
Arthur still wanted to discuss the details with Moral, and saw Qing, Gloria and Nine walking over together.
"How come you guys got together?"
"Are you a fool too? Of course, we are looking for you now to form a team for the next mission." Gold replied with a barb in her words, but she scolded two people at the same time.
Joan was indifferent to this, and Arthur ignored Gold at all. Countless painful experiences taught Arthur that the best way to deal with this thorny rose was to remain silent.
Moral had to take the initiative to explain the rules of this year's assessment tasks, "We have 23 magicians and 118 warriors in this class. After two years of assessment and elimination, there are now 131 people left. The academy requires us to form a team freely. Ten teams are formed, and each team must have a minimum of 10 people and a maximum of 15 people."
"Then each team will be ranked based on its performance in the task. For the bottom five teams, each team will eliminate the worst student by voting by all members. The top five teams will reward one student in the same way. The best-performing students. In addition, the first and last teams will reward and eliminate one additional student, respectively."
In a bloody trial, the academy no longer only tests personal strength, but also character and interpersonal relationships. No team is willing to accept students with poor interpersonal relationships, and even if they are reluctantly accepted, they may be voted to death in the voting session of this group.
"You understand the rules, Knight Arthur, this princess is now officially recruiting you, please kneel down and take the oath." Gold stood on tiptoe and patted Arthur on the shoulder.
"Can I say no?"
"If you're not afraid of being beaten to death, you can try it?"
"Okay, then I will accept it." Arthur deliberately looked reluctant.
The two of them have long been accustomed to all kinds of jokes. In three years, the five members of their small team have already developed a tacit understanding among themselves.
"A team needs at least ten people, and we are still five shorts of it?" Nine interrupted the bickering between the two people.
Arthur, Gloria and Qing suddenly looked at each other, and no one knew who to join.
Oddity comes at a price, and the three of them have no friends outside their small group.
Arthur simply doesn't want to pay attention to other things besides cultivation, and there is an invisible barrier between him, a wild boy, and the children of wealthy aristocrats, and Arthur is unwilling to have too much contact with them.
If Gold was easy to get in touch with, she wouldn't be called a rose with thorns. All the boys who tried to pursue or get close to Gold were dealt with by her. She was not allowed to approach strangers in the college.
As for Joan, who is loved by everyone, everyone seems to like him, and he maintains a humble and enthusiastic attitude towards everyone, but his equal treatment of everyone also leads to the fact that no one really regards him as a friend.
Moral patted his chest and said, "Leave the remaining five to me."
"No!" Several other people objected almost in unison.
As the saying goes, fish will find fish and shrimp will find shrimp. Those who usually have a good relationship with Moral are all good at eating, drinking and having fun. None of them can do well in the competition field.
Moral rubbed his nose and shrank back in embarrassment.
"I do have a friend, she should be willing to join our team." Nine said softly.
"I also have a candidate here, he may also be able to join us." Arthur suddenly said.
"Arno can't do it. The assessment is not allowed to bring attendants." Ge Li stopped him.
Arthur chuckled, "It's not Arnold, you all know the person I'm looking for."
"What should we do if there are three people left?" Ge Li frowned.
Arthur thought for a moment and suddenly smiled, "Moral, you can take care of the remaining three people."
Moral's face was full of displeasure, "Didn't you disagree just now? Now I have to come find it!"
"You come here, but I have a condition. Anyone who wants to join our team must pay a registration fee of 1,000 gold coins."
"Ah!" Moral and Gold exclaimed at the same time, and Arthur could think of a way to collect money.
"Let's just say that Gold and Qing are in a team. If you join our team, you can get first place even if you lie down. Go ahead, there will be people willing to sign up."
"It's my fault. I gave him the habit of earning 3,000 gold coins for every assessment." Qing suddenly said quietly from the side.
"Commander, we have information! The target will leave the royal city recently." A thin man in black hurriedly rushed into the secret room.
The fat commander Lei Jim, who was dressed in fine clothes, suddenly raised his head. Tears almost flowed out at that moment. He was finally coming out. He had been holding on for a full year!
"Tell me in detail." Lei Jim deliberately pretended to be calm.
After hearing what the man in black said, Lei Jim frowned.
Although the third-year assessment of Isaiah Academy is called the Blood Trial, it does not really require students to bleed and sacrifice. These students are all children of rich and noble families. If there were to be large-scale casualties in actual combat, it would be difficult for the academy to handle them. Therefore, each team is led by a professor from the college, and the professors who lead the team are all eighth-level and ninth-level combat school level experts. Professors will not interfere with any of the students' actual decisions, nor will they help. They will only intervene when students are in danger of their lives.
With the professors from the college following him, it will not be easy to attack Arthur.
"Send a message to the Governor. This time I will personally lead the team. As long as a group of "Due ZI KE" killers are assigned to me, I will definitely get rid of this trouble this time." Lei, Jim said through gritted teeth.
