His name is Liang Chaowei, and he is also a student of the swordsman class. This person looks slender, with the image of a weak scholar.

"Ahh

Seeing this, Zhao Yu also stood up. However, he didn't take the initiative to say anything, but just stood aside and nodded cowardly.

"That's right!" Liang Chaowei swept Xia Cha and Zhao one after another, "It's a little late today!"

Zhao Yu noticed that Liang Chaowei was not wearing a sword. So, he wanted to go up and ask. But before the words came out, Liang Chaowei asked the question one step ahead.

"By the way, what were you talking about? I saw you guys hip-hop from afar? What is it? Come, tell me?"

Zha Hongliang shook his face: "It's nothing!"

"What are you doing, do you want to hide it from me?" Liang Chaowei sped up the movement of looking back and forth at the two people in front of him, "This is too much, you treat me as an outsider at all!"

"Oh! Zha Hongliang hurriedly waved his hand. Then, he pouted at Zhao Yu, "It's just this kid's family matter." ”

"Oh?" Liang Chaowei couldn't help but look at Zhao Yu with suspicion after hearing this, "What's wrong with his family?"

This made Zhao Yu feel uncomfortable. It just so happened that at this time, he felt Zha Hongliang's long-sighted gaze again, and Zhao Yu understood that he was asking for his consent. With his mouth bulging into a balloon, he spread out his hands at Zha Hongliang.

So, Zha Hongliang told Zhao Yu and his mother's family affairs. However, Zha Hongliang said it selectively, he only said that Zhao Yu might be sorry for his mother's expectations because he could not pass the primary assessment of the swordsman, and the previous one was omitted.

Liang Chaowei frowned thoughtfully after hearing this. After a long time, he leaned forward and patted Zhao Yu's arm. "That's what happened......! If you really can't pass the test, you can only fail the test. ”

Zhao Yu nodded cowardly. He didn't know how to respond to this negative statement, or if he himself had been holding on to it for a long time. It can even be said that this statement has long been imprinted in his mind.

"I think so too. If you can't pass the test, you can't take the test!"

"Actually, I'm not sure I'll get it. It's true. ”

"Really?" Zha Hongliang couldn't help but squint, "You didn't either?"

"yes, I didn't either. Liang Chaowei shook his head, "And don't talk about us, I don't think everyone here has the strength to pack tickets, and they will definitely be able to pass the test." ”

Being told by Liang Chaowei, Zhao Yu couldn't help but look around the entire training ground.

In the vast field, almost all the students were chatting lazily. Zhao Yu didn't feel a sense of urgency because the assessment was coming. Everyone looked completely laid-back, like a group of brainless walking dead.

How could this be? Zhao Yu's mouth gradually opened. In the image, what kind of scene should it be when he is about to face an assessment that will affect his whole life? Zhao Yu raised his head slightly and stared at the sky for a while.

For some reason, a strange feeling was swelling in my brain at this moment. But what was this state of mind? He didn't know at all. He could only vaguely discern that his mind was congesting him all the time.

Why? What's wrong with me? Zhao Yu became more and more confused.

"Zhao Yu, what are you thinking?"

When he came back to his senses, he realized Zha Hongliang's surprised squint.

"Ahh......h It's nothing. ”

"He should still be worried about the upcoming swordsman primary assessment!" Liang Chaowei guessed. He clenched his fist and struck Zhao Yu in the chest, "Hey, don't think nonsense, just do what you want." Didn't we say it earlier? None of us here can pass the test. ”

"Well, that includes me, of course. Zha Hongliang smiled and cooperated with his speech with a gesture of self-recommendation.

"Actually, our Vortex Town is a very remote border town, and it doesn't have a high pass rate on its own. I remember the last ......" Liang Chaowei seemed to be in deep thought, and his entire face was also clustered together, "It seems that only one in ten people passed the test." ”

"What? only a tenth? really?"

"Yes, there are only so few. ”

"Wow, doesn't that mean that the other nine-tenths of the population will be a burden to the state?"

Liang Chaowei raised his eyebrows and nodded.

The pass rate is only one-tenth, which is even lower than Zhao Yu imagined. He looked around again heavily, thinking to himself what was the pass rate this year.

"In short, Zhao Yu, don't think about it so much. If you can't pass the test, you won't be able to pass the test, so many people will accompany you! If there is really no one who passes, then the country will also come up with a way to make up for it. We, the little people, don't worry about anything. ”

Regarding Liang Chaowei's remarks, Zha Hongliang nodded again and again.

"Yes, yes, yes. I think so too. There are so many people on the back, what are you panicking about!"

"Have fun every day! That's the most important thing. Liang Chaowei patted Zhao Yu's shoulder with his hand, "You think you can't pass the assessment, then you can't think of a reason, so let's be natural!"

Feeling the force applied to his right shoulder, Zhao Yu nodded in a daze.

"Well, I won't say anything. I'm going to go to the bathroom, I got up late tonight, and I didn't even have a tuba!"

As he spoke, Liang Chaowei turned around and ran in the direction of the three-story house in the distance.

"Hey, Ah Liang, beware of accidentally falling into the pit! Just like last time. As soon as he saw Liang Chaowei leave a few steps, Zha Hongliang made a joke.

Liang Chaowei suddenly made an emergency stop after hearing this. He quickly turned around and said 'bah' to Zha Hongliang. Of course, this move will only make Zha Hongliang happier. I saw Zha Hongliang applauding loudly, showing the 'ridicule' to the extreme.

"I'm too lazy to you!" Liang Chaowei quickly turned around and ran again. Under his rapid step, he also followed the movement of his trousers.

It seems that he is indeed in a hurry, Zhao Yu scratched the corners of his mouth and thought.

"Okay, you also heard what Ah Liang said just now!" Zha Hongliang turned his head at Zhao Yu's side, "Things are better to go naturally." Isn't there a saying that 'the boat will go straight to the bridge'?"

As soon as he finished saying this, Zha Hongliang seemed to realize something. He looked excited, and swayed violently. "Wow! Did you hear that just now? I actually uttered such a famous proverb! Hahaha, how is it? I, Cha Hongliang, am I a literate person? Hahaha......"

Glancing at Zha Hongliang, who was self-absorbed, Zhao Yu nodded reluctantly.

Did you think too much? Zhao Yu lowered his head and fell into deep thought. Anyway, everyone can't pass the test, so there's no need to worry about anything. This theory seems to corrode Zhao Yu's mind. He quickly shook his head. In other words, he never bothered about things such as assessments before, and he always had more ambitious goals. But after this morning, he still had a little fear of failing the assessment.

In the following time, Zha Hongliang kept telling Zhao Yu about some trivial things that happened in the town, such as a neighbor's quarrel over trivial things, and such as a certain student falling in love with other people. Anyway, for Zhao Yu, these things are really boring. But with nothing to do, he still listened quietly.

And so it was nine o'clock. It's just that the academy on the playground didn't wait for the coach, but saw Liang Chaowei walking over with his pants up. He should have finished his convenience, and the look of comfort was written on his face.

The students were already familiar with the coach's tardiness, so most of them didn't show any irritability, they still chatted and waited quietly with nothing to do.

Zha Hongliang told Zhao Yu another anecdote about the neighbor's house, that is, there is a male owner who works as a coachman. He happened to be carrying goods from outside to the town yesterday, and when he passed through the forest outside the town, he saw a strange sight.

"Wonders?"

"Yes, he said that the sight of a woodland was strange. There was ice and fire, and as far as the eye could see, there were all scorched dead trees. ”

"What?" Zhao Yu didn't understand what Zha Hongliang was trying to express.

"Oh! I can't describe it. Anyway, when you think about it this way, when you get to a woodland, you see a dead forest that has been burned to the ground. Listening to the coachman, all the leaves were burned, and only the bare trunks and branches remained. The scene is also gray, and it is terrifying to death. ”

"Oh?" Zhao Yu puffed up his mouth and looked at the sky, "Maybe it was thunder yesterday, and then it hit the branches, which caused a fire!"

"Yes, it's possible. The coachmen, they did guess that. But how can you explain the freezing inside?" Zha Hongliang frowned and scratched the back of his neck, "In the center of the dead tree, there is actually a piece of ice that is thickly frozen?"

"Well...... this"

Just when Zhao Yu was confused, he heard the shouts of 'The coach is coming, the coach is coming'.

Following the shouts of others, Zhao Yu really saw a person walking out of the house. He is the instructor of the swordsman class, and his name is Li Yuan. From the moment Zhao Yu came to the trial ground, the coach had always been this swordsman named Li Yuan.

I heard that Li Yuan's swordsman level is intermediate. This is also normal, since he can be the teacher of the trial ground, teaching everyone how to pass the primary assessment. Then he must naturally have a higher level than the junior level.

There are a total of six levels of each profession in Cellos, from low to high: beginner, intermediate, advanced, expert, master, and a level that Zhao Yu can't think of.

Zhao Yu, the sixth highest level of the profession, didn't know, and he didn't bother to ask others. Because not to mention this highest level, even the expert level and the master level seem unattainable to him. Even, Zhao Yu felt that he should theoretically never reach the advanced level.

However, what Zhao Yu dreamed of was the title of a high-level swordsman. The most powerful person he'd ever seen, and one of the 'advanced' levels. That's the mayor of their Vortex Town. The mayor of the town holds the title of a high-level magician, and he naturally enjoys the respect of others in the town.

As for wanting a higher level than 'advanced', Zhao Yu hardly dared to think about it. He has never seen anyone who is an 'expert' or 'master'. Of course, the sixth level, which was more powerful than the previous five, was even more incapable of forming a concept in Zhao Yu's mind.

"Hey, the dwarves are here, don't get ready to practice yet!"

Zha Hongliang's elbow pushed, but Zhao Yu woke up. He came back to his senses and saw that Zha Hongliang had lifted the sword that had been hanging on the side before.

Then, Zhao Yu also picked up his own.

'Dwarf' was the student's derogatory name for this swordsman instructor, because Li Yuan was too short, and seemed to be only about 1.65 meters. But don't look at his shortness, I heard that he can easily put down a big man with a size of 1.8 meters.

In fact, Zhao Yu felt that this coach had no connection with the 'dwarf clan'. He is neither bloated nor fat, he is a relatively thin type, and he does not have the big nose characteristic of the 'dwarves'. Maybe the students didn't like him, so they gave him some ugly nicknames!

"I'm sorry, everyone, I have something to do, so I'm late. Sorry!" Coach Li Yuan waved to the students walking around the playground. He had a smile on his face, the exact opposite of the impatience he should have shown because he was late.

"Alright, now assemble and officially begin the trial. ”

With the coach's order, everyone slowly began to concentrate in the center of the playground.

Zhao Yu glanced at the clock at the house and found that it was already nine twenty o'clock. In other words, the swordsman instructor was twenty minutes late. However, the students seem to have long been used to it, and Li Yuan used to have a habit of being embarrassed not to be late for more than five minutes. He is rarely punctual.

Slowly gather from all over the playground to the center, and when everyone is here, another ten minutes have passed. Everyone seems to be a little unfamiliar with the order of the line, and many students hesitate about where they should be in the line. They stopped at one moment, and then looked at each other restlessly.

Zhao Yu is still clear about who should be lined up on both sides, his right has always been Zha Hongliang, and as for the left, it should be a person named Wei Junjie. Sure enough, Wei Junjie appeared in the crowd with a face that didn't wake up. He lowered his head and yawned, and walked towards Zhao Yu.

People collided with each other, and the team did not form for a long time. As for the chaos in front of him, coach Li Yuan didn't even come to ease it a little. He just stood on one foot with his hands behind his back, his body still shaking from time to time. If you pay attention to his facial expression, you will find that it is covered with a grinning mask.

'Alas, why are you going to practice again, I didn't even want to come to the address of the young girl last night' - Coach Li Yuan looked away intently, only thinking about this in his heart.

The line was finally arranged, and it was a team of five long columns of more than fifty people. Zhao Yu was on the right side of the fourth row, and he waited for the trial to come.

However, time was still passing, and Li Yuan did not issue a single order. He was still sinking in his own world, as if he didn't care about the students in front of him at all.

"Coach, coach. ”

Some students were impatient to wait, so they reminded them loudly. Only then did Li Yuan come to his senses and look at the crooked line in front of him.

"Ahh "I'm really sorry today. I'm a little late. ”

"When are you not late?"

Zhao Yu heard Zha Hongliang next to him whisper. The coach naturally couldn't hear this kind of sarcastic words, but Zhao Yu felt that even if Li Yuan heard it, he didn't seem to say anything.

After two years of trials in the swordsman class in the proving grounds, he did not have a trace of intimacy with the instructor. Hardly even a few words were spoken.

"There's something delayed, so don't blame me. Li Yuan explained to his students.

"How did you not delay?"

Another whisper of grumbling rang out. But it was not sent by Cha Hongliang, but someone else. Then, more grumbling came from within the group.

"You always say something, but you never say what it is. ”

"I haven't seen you come to class on time in the morning. ”

"Don't you even bother to apologize now? Oh, no, even if you apologize, you'll still be late the next day. ”

For a moment, an awkward atmosphere spread across the playground. Zhao Yu stared directly at Coach Li Yuan's face from between the heads of the classmates in front of him.

What is the coach's current reaction? Zhao Yu crooked his neck.

However, Li Yuan did not have any reaction. He just started the lesson. He should have heard the dissatisfaction of the students, and Zhao Yu was almost certain of this.

"Well, I won't say more. Let's start the trial now!" Li Yuan clapped his hands, then turned around and walked towards the iron man in the distance. He also carried a sword on his left waist, and the buckle that the sword was attached to one shoulder.

"Hehe, don't you even bother to sign up now?" a student complained when he saw this.

The other students replied immediately.

"What? You still want him to be stricter!"

"Even if he doesn't sign up, there won't be anyone who won't come. Anyway, his class is just a mix. ”

Zhao Yu felt that this remark was not wrong, in the two years of trial here, he could say that he had hardly learned anything. It's like a swordsman trial class, except for brainlessly slashing at the iron man, there is no other trick.

It seems that this is not the only class of swordsmen. Zhao Yu heard that the students of the archer class next door had complained, saying that after they came, they only shot bows and arrows at the target.

Following the coach, I came to the northeast position where the iron man was placed. Everyone looked staggered.

The iron men are arranged in a neat horizontal row, about five or six meters apart from each other. This is so that every student can fully stretch the swing and slash movement, and there is no shortage of space in this playground.

"Alright, let's cut the first row first!"

Li Yuan shook his hand casually, and then stopped paying attention to the students. I saw him standing on the side, constantly touching the remaining stubble on his chin with his hand. He seemed to be thinking about his own business again.

In fact, the so-called trial is just like that, but he keeps facing the iron man with a sword, and it has been the same for two years. Zhao Yu remembered that in the early days, Li Yuan also taught the students some real kung fu.

For example, tricks such as 'Whirlwind Slash', but because the students couldn't learn anything, Li Yuan simply stopped teaching them soon after. So, his daily trial lesson is a sentence:

"Slash at the Iron Man!"
