Chapter 111: Pros and Cons

Gabi's roll call continues, and the vast majority of them have already been assigned careers.

As a result, a few families are happy and a few are sad.

After all, the purpose of gladiator schools is to give wonderful performances to the audience, and it is also necessary to take into account the gaps in each profession and the number of people who already have it, so there are also some people who are assigned to professions that they don't really want to go to.

Gabby tells them that if they finally pass the test to become gladiators and survive five performances, if they still don't like their profession, they can come to him and change it again, but Gabi also warns some of them that they need to do their best before they do so. Otherwise, they probably won't live to the day when they change careers.

"Zhang Heng." Gabi finally called Zhang Heng's name, "Twin Swordsmen." ”

Zhang Heng bowed his head and said that he had heard.

As the name suggests, the double knife warrior is a gladiator who fights with a double knife, and the only defensive equipment on the body is a helmet, in other words, this is a purely offensive profession, although the gladiators themselves do not wear heavy armor, but the vast majority of people will still have a shield in their hands.

In contrast, the Double Swordsman is a purely offensive profession, and the win rate in the arena is not high like the net fighter, but the mortality rate is not low, but this is the most suitable profession for Zhang Heng to exert all his combat effectiveness.

However, Zhang Heng's first choice was not a double swordsman, but a pursuer, for a very simple reason, because most of the pursuers' opponents were net fighters, and net fighters were recognized as a relatively easy profession to bully in the arena, and the pursuers were equipped with shields, which was also more convenient for paddling.

Yes, although Zhang Heng planned to mix up as a free man in the arena, he didn't plan to let go of his hands and fight seriously.

Because in any era, there is a price to be paid to become a star.

Take Sisnatus as an example, he is the ace of the gladiator school, the winner of the Victor Arena for three consecutive years, although Makruz finally couldn't withstand the pressure of the spectators in the stands and gave him the freedom he promised, but before that he had been desperately trying to squeeze the last bit of value out of Sisnatus.

Because Makruz knows very well that the next Sisnatus will not know when it will be time.

As a result, some gladiators at the same time as Sisnatus have even been freed, and Sisnatus is still dragging his deteriorating body to fight in the arena, of course, Makrus also gave Sisnates a lot of promises in the later period, including increasing his remuneration share for each performance, finding more beautiful slave girls to serve him, etc., so it cannot be said that Makruz forced Cisnatus to fight.

But it must be admitted that Sisnatus was a little tired of his fame, otherwise he would have left the arena a long time ago.

The gladiator school is a driving school for Zhang Heng, he has no interest in becoming the next Sisnatus, becoming the new cash cow of Makrus, and he doesn't necessarily have to make money by being a gladiator, it is enough to quietly mix up the status of a free man, so he did not perform much in the seven days of basic training.

But there are pros and cons to everything.

Because he has not been inconspicuous, Gabi has not paid attention to him since then, except for a little impression of him on the first day because of the whip, and as a result, he was naturally classified into the unfavorable group.

When the profession of Pursuer was already overcrowded, Gabi casually threw Zhang Heng into the group of Double Swordsmen.

In fact, Gabby didn't have a bad impression of this seriously trained Oriental, as if he was worried that Zhang Heng would be blind, and deliberately added, "This is only temporary, when I find a suitable candidate, we will let you change careers to pursuers." ”

There is no doubt that this sentence is a blank check.

Gabi's gaze finally falls on Varro, announcing the fate of the former antique dealer.

"Varro, net fighter."

Compared to a few days ago, Varro looked haggard now, and what he had expected had not happened since he had introduced himself to his master, Mao Sui, and a whole week had passed, and he had opened his eyes every morning with anticipation, only to be greeted only by hard training.

It was as if he had been completely forgotten, and Makruz never came to the training ground again, nor did he send anyone from his side to pick him up.

Gradually, Varro couldn't help but wonder if he could get out of here.

Especially after a long time, he will always recall Zhang Heng's words that day. He tried to convince himself that it was just speculation with no evidence, but he really couldn't answer the question head-on.

Until today, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, and when he listened to his grouping, he didn't care too much about whether it was suitable for him, but said to Gabi in an almost pleading tone, "You are the master's most trusted person, can you help me ask about my matter, I've been waiting for seven days, could it be that the master is too busy and forgot, you just need to mention it a little, just mention it." ”

Gabi frowned when he heard this, he had long noticed that Varro had been absent-minded in his training these days, and he was basically lazy wherever he could, obviously although his body was still here, but a heart had already flown elsewhere, and Varro had even begun to think about where to buy antiques and how to get back old customers to make money.

In Gabi's view, choosing a career for Varro is a waste of time, because it seems that the latter will not be able to pass the assessment after forty-three days, and his end is to be sold to the countryside, working non-stop until he dies, and Gabi is too lazy to worry about those who have given up on themselves.

But seeing Varro's pitiful appearance, he also moved a little compassion, and warned the other party for the last time, "Just like I told you on the first day, since you are standing here, then do what you have to do, you have already told your master about your situation, if you don't receive a reply, then there is no reply, don't find trouble for yourself, and don't find trouble for me again, otherwise the whip in my hand is not an ornament." ”

"But......" Varro was about to say something, but Gabi was impatient.

"Nothing but, you know I have the right to decide whether a gladiator is qualified or not, and I can send you to mine now." Gabi sank his face and said coldly.

Varro seemed to be taken aback by Gabi's last threat, and his face was sad, and although he looked very unwilling, he had to keep his mouth shut.

Since Gabi said this, he also simply opened his words, "I only bought you for three hundred Sesters, even if I resell you to the countryside, I won't lose anything, you should be glad that you still have the opportunity to participate in the assessment in forty-three days, yes, becoming a gladiator means that you may die, but at least you can die in the arena like a man, not in the field like a livestock, in the deep and dark mines." ”
