Chapter 11 Entrance Ceremony

The airship landed on a huge square with a painted totem of the glass academy in the center, one side of the square is a bottomless cliff, and on the other side is a towering white archway, the glazed tiles on the top of the archway are also white, and only a vermilion plaque with "glass academy" written on the door hangs on the door. In front of the archway are three white, blue, and red metal door frames the size of the crystal door on Knights' Square, apparently improvised. The doors are marked with elementary, intermediate, and advanced luminous inscriptions, and each door is filled with a vague electric light. The students gathered in the square, looking at the doors and talking with great interest.

"It's an imaginary space." A student who looked a little older said insightfully.

"Isn't that for simulation training? I heard that the cost is high, and it usually only lasts for about an hour at most? A student next to him said in surprise.

"This Liuli Academy is really extraordinary, it seems that the future training can be carried out in the imaginary space." Someone shouted excitedly.

While people were talking, there was a sudden crisp sound around the square, and huge electronic screens appeared on four sides. Then, a chubby black cat face appeared on the screen, and the cat's two eyes were surprisingly green, staring at the people in the square like two blazing ghost fires.

"Welcome to all the freshmen of Liuli Academy!" A man's voice came from the screen, "I'm the dean of Liuli Academy, you can call me Mr. Bai!" ”

After Mr. Bai's introduction, there was silence in the square. The students stared at the serious and bewitching cat face on the screen with their mouths wide open, with a look of surprise and confusion.

"The Dean is a cat?" The students looked at each other with a blank look.

"Ahem, Mr. Bai, the camera is crooked." A female voice on the screen reminded unnaturally.

"Huh? Oh ......" The screen shook a few times and lifted from the cat's face, replaced by a slightly pale face, Mr. White was dressed in a gorgeous white robe, and his hair had been cut short, making him look more capable. It's just that his eyes are a little erratic, and there seems to be an endless mist spreading in his dark eyes, from which it is difficult to see any of his mental activities. "It was Romeo just now, and it's me now." The man in the camera pointed to his face and smiled apologetically.

"Haha, this dean is really a little tendon!" There was a burst of laughter from among the students.

"Such a young dean?"

"Looks kind......"

Xia Yan stood in the crowd, looking up at the face on the screen that seemed to be smiling. Mr. Bai glanced at the people in the square, his eyes stopped on Xia Yan, smiled slightly, and then said, "Then, let's get down to business." Liuli Academy is a gathering place for cultivating talents for the front line, and everyone who comes here is an elite who has been recommended and has great dreams. I believe that you are fully prepared and confident in the tests and training you will accept in the future, and what the academy needs to do is not to improve your combat effectiveness, but to increase your chances of survival on the battlefield in the future. Before that," Mr. Bai paused, and the picture changed to the three doors on the front of the city wall, "Please choose one door to enter the Liuli Academy, and a new life will be waiting for you here." Mr. Bai's face appeared on the screen again, "Mr. Lan will explain to you, good luck to you!" ”

Hearing this, Mr. Lan nodded slightly to Mr. Bai on the screen, and after the screens around the square disappeared, he said to the students in the square in a loud voice: "The assessment method of Liuli Academy is divided into two rounds, both of which are point systems. When you pass through the crystal gate before boarding, your palm prints are recorded in the academy's files, not only to show your identity, but more importantly, to record your achievements. The way to view it is very simple, find any plane, press it with the palm of your hand for more than 10 seconds, and your current data will be displayed. Hearing this, the students pressed their palms on the ground or the backs of the people in front of them, and after a while, a glowing screen spread out from under their palms, marked with their identity information on the left and the words "500" written on the right. "Your original score is 500 points, and at the end of the first round of assessment, the top 30 students with individual scores are eligible to enter the second round of assessment. Those with a score of 0 will be eliminated and leave the college. ”

"Is the second round of assessment also a comparison of results?" A tall cadet standing in the front row asked.

"The content of the second round of assessment is only qualified to be known by students who enter the second round." Mr. Lan replied expressionlessly, "It is worth mentioning that the academy does not have a grade system, and all students who have not graduated and whose scores have not dropped to 0 will participate in the assessment with you, so," Mr. Lan said word by word to the new students who were a little nervous, "You must work hard to get a place in the second round of assessment." ”

"So we're going to compete with our former students?" Qian Lan said a little curiously to Xia Yan on the side.

"So it seems." Xia Yan nodded and said.

"This is too unfair, those old students in the academy have people who came several years earlier than us, and they are not at the starting line at all!" A girl in the front row complained, and her complaint also resonated with many people. If you just get into the top 30 from these freshmen, it won't make everyone feel pressured. After all, the total number of students enrolled this time is only more than 50, and the success rate is as high as more than 50%. However, if you count the old students who have not graduated before, the total number of students will inevitably increase a lot, not to mention the decrease in the success rate, the old students have undergone long-term training, and they naturally have an advantage over these freshmen who know almost nothing about Liuli Academy in all aspects.

"Hmph, that's fun. What kind of threat is a person who can't finish his job for a few years? A rough-looking boy in the back row of the girl said disapprerovingly.

"Today's entrance ceremony is just to familiarize you with the system of simulated battlefields in advance, and by the way, let the academy have a preliminary understanding of your abilities." Mr. Lan ignored the commotion in the crowd and continued, "The three doors in front of you, the higher the order, the more difficult it is, and of course, the more points you can get. The condition for entering the door is the value in your hand, and the value required for different doors is also different. There will be a random battlefield of the corresponding level in the door, and the enemies are naturally virtual. Their attacks will not cause you any real damage, but the pain will be the same as in reality, and if you are defeated by the enemy, you will be deducted a certain amount of points. In addition," Mr. Lan pointed to the red door behind him and said, "Students who want to choose a high-level battlefield should pay special attention, this kind of door will consume all the points in your current hand, and correspondingly, after passing the level, it will also return double the score, which is called the "door of life and death" by the old students." Therefore, I advise you to do what you can when choosing a virtual battlefield. After entering the academy, there will be other ways to score, so students with slightly weaker strength do not need to worry. After Mr. Lan finished speaking, he said slowly to the silent crowd, "That's all for the rules, does anyone have any questions?" ”

"May I ask Mr. Lan, how do we judge the specific difficulty of these gates?" A chubby student from the City of Steam raised his hand and asked.

"It's very simple, if you don't have enough confidence in your ability, you can choose to enter from the low-level battlefield, this is just a warm-up, don't work too hard." Mr. Lan said to him. "The enemies set in the battlefield are basically all Burners, do anyone still have any questions?"

The students were silent for a while, and it was clear that in this situation, they all understood that the more they asked, the more unconfident they became. They are all elites everywhere, and calmly dealing with the difficulties encountered is what an elite should do, so no one talks to each other anymore.

"Very well, then, the entrance ceremony begins." Mr. Lan nodded in satisfaction, and turned sideways to make a way for the students, "Everyone, please!" ”

The crowd slowly poured towards the three doors, and the first row of students who walked to the front of the three doors stopped, hesitated for a moment, and then walked into the primary battlefield one after another. The virtual battlefield is a military equipment, even if it is a prince and nobleman, there are only a few who can have it privately, and ordinary people have no chance to contact it. Before figuring out the true difficulty of this virtual battlefield, most people adopted Mr. Lan's suggestion, insurance first. And the high-level battlefield is a gamble that will become a beneficiary if it is not successful, and they naturally don't want to provoke it on the first day of school.

"Which door do we go into?" Qian Lan turned her head sideways to look at Xia Yan and asked, she and Xia Yan stood in place, not in a hurry to squeeze forward with the students.

"Although Mr. Lan said that the two rounds of assessment are points-based systems, he refused to announce the content of the second round of assessments. Xia Yan looked at the slowly moving crowd in front of him and said, there are a few students who seem to have good strength who have chosen the mid-level battlefield. "It seems that Liuli Academy has really reformed a lot this year, and we still focus on collecting intelligence in the early stage. Xiao Lan, you enter from the primary battlefield, and I enter the advanced battlefield, so I should be able to roughly estimate what the test standard of the academy is. ”

"Hmm." Qianlan nodded, and lined up in the long line in front of the primary battlefield.

"What a point system, it's like a video game." Nishizawa Kai stood at the entrance of the high-level battlefield, looking at the entrance qualification that required 500 points displayed on the door, and muttered to himself. He looked back at Xia Yan who came over, and a smile appeared on his face again, "I thought that a rational thinking guy like you wouldn't do such a high-risk thing, if you lose, it will be equivalent to losing your admission qualification." He clasped his hands behind his head and said to Xia Yan with a grin.

"Then you can only try to win." Xia Yan said calmly.

"That's right." Hearing this, Nishizawa Kai lowered his hand, stepped forward and pressed his palm against the door, and the electric light in the door dissipated. Nishizawa Kai said to Xia Yan with a surprised look from the students in front of the two doors next to him, "Don't forget that we still have a duel, but don't be eliminated on the first day of school." With that, he walked into the high-level battlefield.

Xia Yan quietly watched him disappear into the door, waited for the red light to flicker again, pressed his palm up, and then walked in without looking back.
