Young Genius Chapter 14: Junior Rank
The examiner picked up the number and shouted, "Girls' group No. 1, Momiji." β
"It's hereβ" Momiji raised his hand and turned to look at everyone, then flew into the field.
This appearance immediately gathered the eyes of the crowd.
"Wow, this little girl looks amazing. "The people in the square are already talking.
Jiang Yulong finally squeezed to the front of the crowd, waved his arms and shouted.
"Autumn leaves are good. β
When Momiji heard his shout, he immediately thought about it, and finally found the jade dragon in front of him, and hurriedly waved his sleeves in response: "Brother Along." β
"Momiji, don't panic, show your strength well. β
The examiner didn't wait for her to say more, and immediately shouted: "Momiji, quickly choose the weapon you want to use, and complete the task within a stick of incense." β
Momiji nodded and walked to the edge of the weapon rack, looked up and down, and said to himself, "What I want to pass through is the assassin's water-shaped realm, so naturally I have to use the Hidden Blade that belongs to the identity of the assassin." β
The examiner lit a special illusion incense stick for the exam in front of the magic stone obe, and a string of psychedelic smoke wafted out, and then Momiji walked over and followed the smoke into the specially designed illusion.
I saw Hongye Yun dialing out Zhou Tian with his hand, and then closed his eyes to mobilize the energy of his whole body, and poured his soul power into his spiritual sea.
In an instant, Momiji's consciousness only felt that it was pitch black all around, and the thick fog suddenly covered her, and then the thick fog took her away to a completely unfamiliar place.
When she suddenly opened her eyes, she was already in a dense forest.
Momiji was telling himself that this was just an illusion, it was the setting of the exam, and I had to find the task as soon as possible.
She looked around, and the forest didn't even have a birdsong except for her. But Momiji quickly calmed down and thought silently in his heart.
Before I have a clue or a little movement, I should get out of this dense forest first.
Yes, direction was especially important to the Assassins, and it seems that the first task was to find the right direction.
She looked at the big trees around her, tried to wave her palm, shook her head and said, "No, with my current strength, I can't break these big trees." β
But Momiji wasn't the only way, the corners of her mouth were happy, and she quickly ran to a clearing on the left and right where she could see the sun, and she kept thinking about it in her heart.
Previously, Master said that in the fifth month of the Lingjing Kingdom, the sun rises from the northeast, so the shadow is facing southwest. Up north and down south, left west and right east, it is easy to find the direction.
As soon as she ran to the clearing, she placed a stick, and then made a mark with a stone at the top of the shadow. After a few minutes, a new shadow is marked. In this way, a compass is simply drawn.
She got up and pointed to the bevel on her right, and said happily, "This is the South." β
As soon as he said this, a task list floated out of the sky. A few words are shown: find out all the killers in the village before the sun goes down and clear them all without alarming.
Oh my God, where is the village, what kind of mission is this, how to find it.
Although Momiji was a little surprised, she immediately threw herself into the task, she looked up at the sky, and saw the smoke of cooking in the northeast, and listened carefully to the sound of dogs barking and roosters. She was sure that there must be a village to the northeast.
"I don't know how far away this village is, it seems that this is the second skill of the assassins. β
Momiji's face was smug, and it seemed that she was very confident in her light work at a young age. Leap lightly and weave through the woods with the ease of a lark.
Soon after, the village across the creek came into view. She jumped down from the tree, paused for a moment by the brook, and after observing for a moment some doubts.
I'm a stranger who would have taken the plunge out of me.
Momiji was thinking about it, and happened to see a girl who had finished washing her clothes and was about the same age as her approaching.
She rejoiced in her heart, isn't this God helping me?
Momiji waited until the girl walked into her, when she covered her mouth and nose with incense, and then dressed up as a girl as quickly as she could.
Momiji's exam went well, and although the onlookers in the square didn't know what Momiji encountered in the illusion, it could be seen from her movements and expressions that there was not much trouble, and everything was under her control. But the male candidates on the other three venues have been eliminated several times in succession.
At this time, Momiji had already infiltrated the village through the disguise technique. With her keen insight, she quickly launched a survey of the villagers. After walking around, I returned to the edge of an ancient well, and thought to myself.
There are a total of 21 people in the village, and the old man by the well still has the strength to fetch water in his old age, there must be something wrong with this person.
The woman on the east side must be a person who is good at light work.
There is also a strong man at the entrance of the village who has been sharpening his knife there, and his eyes are fierce and vicious. Is it just these three?
She walked around again and found that Xiao Er of the tea stall was secretly looking at her, and then a person entered the tea stall, but this Xiao Er did not greet her. Momiji felt that this little two was a little abnormal.
"Isn't the shopkeeper's first reaction to greet customers? What is he staring at me?" Momiji suddenly realized, and his expression was overjoyed.
That's right, he's also a killer, and his pretense can never change his nature.
Momiji is very convinced, there are a total of four hidden killers in the whole village.
"Great, I've figured it all out, and now I'm going to figure out how to do it. But how can you knock them down one by one without disturbing the other killers? β
However, while Momiji was constantly thinking about a clever plan, the sun in the sky was gradually approaching the western horizon. Momiji, who had just been going well, was gradually becoming nervous and anxious at the moment. She looked left and right, still unsure of what to do.
At this time, everyone in the square saw the expression on Momiji's face.
Jiang Yulong looked up at the incense in front of the magic stone monument, and suddenly seemed anxious in his heart, and it was about to burn out.
He took a small step and walked to a place where he could see the front of the red leaves, and said silently in his heart, "No, I must help her." Momiji is so hard, I must make her wish come true. β
Jiang Yulong cautiously gathered the spiritual power of his whole body, and then gathered a cloud of mist at the tips of his fingers. But unexpectedly, Master Gu Xuanwu suddenly appeared behind him and lightly touched his arm, and the mist on Jiang Yulong's fingertips immediately dissipated.
"Masterβ"
Yulong looked back at him, with doubts and unwillingness in his heart.
"Cheating is not good, it's not fair, and I'm afraid it's not the result Momiji wants. β
"But, Momiji, she-"
Gu Xuanwu smiled with a smile on his face, looked at the examination room and said, "Maybe there will be a good result later." β
Jiang Yunye seemed to hear the conversation between the two of them, and immediately turned around, and sure enough, he saw Xuanwu and Yulong chatting happily.
Unconsciously, Jiang Yunye looked in the direction of his younger brother, and his eyes unconsciously flowed with envy and jealousy.
"It's time for a stick of incenseβ"
Everyone looked at Momiji with the examiner's command, and saw that Momiji's expression was very lost after returning to reality, and he immediately squatted on the ground.
She was just silent, but she was not fragile, and there was just a lot of unwillingness on her lost expression.
Everyone is looking forward to what will happen to her. I saw the examiner come over, with a look of surprise and a little regret.
"The No. 1 red leaves of the girls' group, congratulations on the pressure of the first appearance and the excellent completion of the tasks such as identifying the direction, showing light skills, disguise techniques, and investigation techniques. Although you didn't complete the last item. β
"Ahh It's a shame. β
"But it's okay, she has completed so many tasks in the first appearance, and she has been the longest so far, and she is the only candidate who has used up a stick of incense. "There were voices of regret and encouragement in the audience.
Then the examiner looked at the color that had evolved on the opposite side of the magic stone monument and announced, "Although you have not completed all the tasks, in terms of the results of the entire test, you have officially ascended to the Wood Shape Realm Triple from today. β
"Great. β
The partners and the audience cheered, "This is the first student to get a rank this year, and it's a girl." β
However, only Momiji himself and the jade dragon in the audience did not show the slightest joy.
Momiji's expression was still a little lost and remorseful, and she glanced into the crowd, but Jade Dragon immediately gave her an encouraging look.
The examiner walked up to Momiji with a badge symbolizing the wooden rank in his hand and handed it to her.
"Congratulations, Momiji, you're ready to enter the regular class. β
Momiji looked at the badge in the palm of her hand, although it was very small and light, but it made her feel a lot of pressure in her heart.
She looked at the examiner, expressed her gratitude, and asked, "Examiner, if I had completed the final task within a stick of incense just now, which rank would I be?"
The examiner's words were a little regretful, and then he smiled and said with encouragement.
"The Magic Stone Obelisk shows that you already have the strength of the Water Shape Ichiju, but if you complete all the tasks in the Stick of Incense, you will be able to officially obtain the Water Shape Rank. β
