The closed door creaked open from the outside in, and the president, Master Tefu, sat behind a desk with a rubbed matte finish, his back straight, his expression serious, not at all the decadence of an old man.

On the writing desk, the transcripts of the eight selected candidates were neatly arranged, and against the transcripts on the desktop, Teff's sharp eyes swept over Yi Hui who followed the staff into the room one by one.

Yi Hui felt that Taif's gaze lingered on him for a little longer. Probably a psychological effect, right? After all, anyone who is stared at by Master Tefu is more or less uncomfortable.

After the eight finalists were seated under the guidance of the staff and served a drink with a snack, Master Tefu put down the materials in his hands and folded his hands on the table. Not as grim as in his previous speech, Tefu looked even a little kind at this moment, and the lines on his face were much softer than when he spoke. If Master Tefu was a cold rock when he spoke in the hall, now he looks like a large oak tree that gently flutters with the breeze.

Master Tefu gently stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, and said in a low and bright voice, "Please take care of yourself, young men, thank you for your efforts in this competition of the Thieves' Guild, your heroism in the selection examination is still vivid in my memory." Don't be too restrained, there are no grown-ups in this room now, and I'm just an old thief who lives a little longer. ”

Hearing Master Tefu say this, everyone relaxed slightly. Fisher had already picked up his drink and started to eat and drink, and the corners of his eyes gradually drooped in Tef's eyes, and a smile appeared on his face.

Indeed, Master Tefu will also resign as President after this competition, and he always feels that he does look much more relaxed after making the decision to let go of everything, and the only thing he can't let go of is the defeat in the competition between the Thieves' Guild and the Assassins' Guild during his tenure.

It can be said that these eight young thieves are Master Teve's last hope to redeem the Thieves' Guild during his tenure.

"Yi Hui, you come forward." Master Tefu looked at Yi Hui, who was sitting in the corner of the room next to Fisher in a low-key manner, and beckoned.

Yi Hui hurriedly put down the cup in his hand, stood up and walked slowly to the desk, and said, "I don't know what Master Taifu commands?" ”

Tefu looked at Yi Hui's information in the most visible place, looked at Yi Hui standing in front of him, and asked, "You represent the Grenoble Guild, right?" ”

Yi Hui replied, "Yes." ”

Tef asked, "And what is your relationship with Dark?" ”

"I joined the Grenoble Thieves' Guild a year ago and was mentored by Master Argent, and that's it. It doesn't have anything to do with Master Dark. Yi Hui replied truthfully.

"Oh?" Yi Hui's answer made Tefu feel a little surprised, he originally thought that if a talent like Yi Hui was not surprised, he should be the key training target of Dack, who is the president of the Grenoble Thieves' Guild, but he didn't expect that Yi Hui only received some unsystematic guidance from Dak's disciple Argent.

The class system of thieves has always focused on the status of master and apprentice, and the exclusive skills of some schools are only passed on by word of mouth on the premise of establishing a master-apprentice relationship. Argent repeatedly asked Duck if he could teach Yi Hui Shadow Stream some of the thief skills, and he already had the intention of accepting an apprentice. However, Yi Hui didn't have the intention of throwing himself into the Shadow Flow Sect for the time being, so Argent only taught Yi Hui how to cultivate his body foundation to the quasi-level 5 level and told him some of what he thought was a thief.

Except for Yi Hui, the other seven of these eight people were not the sons and nephews of the guild presidents in various places, but also the proud disciples of the school represented by the branch presidents, so Taifu was surprised.

"So, your skills weren't inherited from the Shadow Stream?" Tefu asked.

"It's not." Yi Hui said.

"So can you tell me about the class of thieves you represent?" Tef asked.

"Trick of deception." Yi Hui has already identified the name of this genre based on the skills of the clown Sacco, anyway, there is no way to verify, I don't know how many thieves have died out and how many have risen in hundreds of years, no one will care about the authenticity of Yi Hui's genre name.

"Okay, good, although I've never heard of the name of this genre, since you can get the first place in the selection exam, it means that you are very good. It's up to you whether this competition can be a shame, don't let me down. Master Taifu gave Yi Hui an encouraging look.

"Fisher, come forward." After finishing the conversation with Yi Hui, Master Tefu called Fisher's name again.

"Huh? …… Yes! Be. Fisher, who was absent-mindedly peeking at Kara, reacted after being reminded by others, and he put the half-bitten pastry back on the plate, wiped his hands on his pants, and hurried to Master Teve.

Master Teve looked at Fisher and raised an eyebrow slightly, saying, "I recognize you, Fisher. I was there when your father, Shaquille, took over from the Guild of Yerzep, when you were not yet six years old. More than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and you have grown into a good thief, and this time you got the second place, which is not bad. ”

"Hehe, it turns out that you have seen me a long time ago, why am I not impressed?" Fisher asked with a smile.

Master Taifu walked around the desk to Yi Hui and Fisher, patted Fisher's shoulder lightly with his right hand and said with a smile: "Of course I don't have an impression, when I saw you, you were secretly carrying a fish basket and trying to slip away from the guild hall, where would you notice me, an old man?" ”

As soon as Master Tef said this, Fisher remembered that there was such a thing, and he struck the palm of his left hand with his right fist and said, "Yes, I remember." I can't sit still for such a long inauguration ceremony and those boring speeches......" After saying that, he noticed that Master Yasu was looking at him, and immediately touched his head in embarrassment.

"You can't be sloppy about the competition this time, Fisher." Master Tefu frowned solemnly at Fisher and said, "You have to team up with Yi Hui and earn some face for our thieves' guild." ”

Regarding the principle of grouping, Yi Hui has long known that it is ranked down by grades, and it is not bad for him to be able to be divided into a group with Fisher, so he didn't speak.

When Fisher heard that he was going to be in a group with Yi Hui, he first nodded, then shook his head, and said to Master Taifu, "Master Taifu, can I change a teammate?" ”

"What? Are you worried about Yi Hui? Tef asked rhetorically.

Fisher hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, that's not what I mean, I have already understood Yi Hui's strength, where can I have uneasy thoughts." I mean, can I be in a group with Kara? ”

"Nonsense!" As soon as Master Teve blew his beard, the Chief's aura returned to him, and although he spoke quietly, it sounded like thunder to Fisher's ears. "This is a competition, it is a matter of victory or defeat between our Thieves Guild and the Assassin Guild, how can you change it according to your personal ideas, this does not need to be discussed, just do as I say."

"This old man, if he says he will change, he will change." Fisher thought silently. He kept his head down, lest Tef notice his frowning glance at indignation.

It was decided that the Thieves Guild would send the first team to compete, and Tefu called Tonik in third place and Hokee in fourth place to form the second team. Yi Hui and Fisher returned to their seats.

In front of Yi Hui, Taifu and the members of the second group were talking, and just as they were bored, Lai Yihui began to observe the teammates who were going to participate in the competition with them.

Tonick, who was being lectured by Teve, was not tall and not strong, but the muscles on his arms flowed like waves with the movements, but although such arms were developed, they were not bloated. In Yi Hui's preliminary judgment, this person should be a thief who is good at attacking.

Hawke, who came on stage with Tony, looked smart, equally thin, and kept playing with a ring in his right hand, and did not put the ring away even when he was lectured by Master Teve, but temporarily held it in his hand, and when he returned to his seat, he played again. Under the movement of his nimble fingers, the ring sometimes reversed the back of his hand, and then shuttled between his five fingers, dazzling those who watched.

The next step up to Tef was the fifth place Hydes, this Hydes had a poker face, no expression could be seen from his face, and a pair of triangular eyes were a circle of thick dark circles, which at first glance looked like a "pink boy". Hei Edsi's move started, and in Yi Hui's eyes, there was a feeling of "rough edge", in other words, the outline was not clear, and the whole person was vague, making people unable to find the boundary between him and the background.

Camonez, who is in the same group as Heids, is a big man of more than 1.8 meters, as thin as a bamboo pole, and one of his most prominent features is his long legs, which have to be bumped twice with every step, as if he is about to blow up with another gust of wind.

Karain was placed in the last group, and the third group had been sitting motionless in their seats until they had finished their conversation with Tev. Although she didn't panic, the appearance of Kara's two small hands, clenched into fists and folded on her thighs, was a little pale because of the force that had already revealed the uneasiness in her heart. Yi Hui sighed lightly and thought: "Sure enough, she was trained in the guild, and her results are still okay, but it is estimated that she has never been far away, and this time she is really chasing ducks to the shelves." How can a girl be allowed to participate in such a thing? ”

Finally, there is the Atesey who is in a group with Kara, this guy is holding a strange tool similar to a Swiss Army knife from the beginning, holding a lock and quickly dismantling, not simply unlocking, he directly dismantles the lock into pieces and then quickly assembles it. "Unlocking is still such a play, I've seen it." Yi Hui, who is not good at picking locks, was simply amazed when he saw this scene.

If you are divided into groups, there is basically no mentor or anything. In the next time, all they had to do was wait, wait for the guild to arrange for them to go to the assassin guild to compete.

According to the rules, the competition between the Thieves' Guild and the Assassins' Guild is arranged once on one side, and the last time it was arranged by the Thieves' Guild, this time it should be the Assassins' Union's turn to arrange it.

There are only three days left before the competition......
