Chapter 14: Tricolor Talent
The Central Building of the First Training Camp is a square building built in the early Romans Dynasty with a strong Baroque style popular at the end of the Renaissance.
Four massive towers stand at each of the four corners of the building. Tall and majestic. The towers and the buildings between them are dark grey and made of carved granite, which is both solid and artistic.
When the first batch of candidates walked into the examination room set up in the hall of the building, the high-ranking officials and teachers of the academy, together with the invited aristocratic patrons and supporters, stood on the platform on the second floor of the Central Building.
On the second floor of the hall is a ring of terraces separated by stone balustrades and vaulted columns.
Because of the magic light curtain set up between the first and second floors, everyone on the second floor can clearly see every detail in the examination room in the hall. However, the students below could not see them at a distance of only one or twenty meters.
There are a total of sixty temporary examination rooms in the hall.
It's a room, but it's just a square grid separated by a magic barrier. In the center of each room, there is a humanoid puppet. That's the opponent that the candidates have to face.
The Gatekeeper is a special puppet for the Triple Loss Training Camp exam for a hundred years. There are three levels. The entrance examination for new students uses the lowest level of lower gatekeepers.
Although it is the lowest level, each puppet is made of metal fused with magic silver, which is extremely strong. If you want to inflict damage on such a puppet, you need at least the strength of a fair knight or higher. It is enough to assess new students.
On the body of the puppet, there is an engraved magic pattern circle used to test the attack power of the students. The stronger the student's attack, the greater the fluctuation generated by the circle.
And when attacking, the puppet is not fixed in place. They move along the ground at high speeds, sometimes even counterattacking. In a sense, they're close to war.
Under the command of the Bachelor of Affairs, the candidates entered their separate examination rooms.
After a minute of preparation, the exam begins. The candidates who activated the battle ring quickly launched an all-out attack on the puppet. For a while, I only saw battle rings of different colors flying in the air, and the dull sound of fists and feet landing on the puppet was endless.
Soon, Hei Ming, the sixteenth candidate, attracted everyone's attention.
Among the more than 1,000 candidates this year, Hei Ming is one of the five strongest. The second son from the Viscount family of Coastal Sail City, he has a cold personality and is taciturn. There is not the slightest hint of emotion in a pair of slender eyes.
However, when he attacked, his whole person changed. If he was a stone before, then he is a meteor now.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Under Hei Ming's stormy attack, the puppet was beaten to the left and right. The magic array on his body quickly changed with light. It had only been more than forty seconds before the color of the circle was turned blue. There is a shift to green.
"Good!" exclaimed several of the veterans excitedly.
One of the teachers who had been staring at Hei Ming excitedly said: "Forty seconds to pass the level, there are still more than two minutes, as long as the attack frequency is maintained, this kid can at least get orange." It's not hopeless to hit purple!"
As soon as his words fell, he saw that the puppet attacked by Hei Ming had turned green. At this time, the three-minute attack time was just over a minute!
After the circle turned green, the puppet's dodge speed increased significantly, and at the same time, a transparent magic light shield appeared around the body. Compared to before, the difficulty of puppet attacks has increased by more than ten times!
Whew, seeing the change of the puppet, Hei Ming let out a low cry, his body flashed, and he stuck to the puppet like a shadow, no matter how it changed direction, the stormy fist still landed accurately on several parts of his fixed attack.
"He's practicing a five-star rare level of Dou Qi Gong," said a teacher standing next to Kameni, "but I can't tell which one it is." The Black Family of Sail City is an emerging aristocracy, and there is no information about this family in the Academy. ”
As he spoke, the bald teacher in his forties turned his head to look at Kameni, and said with a smile on his face: "Kameni is a celebrity in the general camp and has extraordinary insight.
Of course, this kind of thing can't help you, can you tell us about it?"
Hearing his words, everyone's eyes focused on Kameni's face, and the atmosphere seemed a little strange for a while.
The aristocratic patrons and supporters of the senators looked at Kameni with curiosity, awe and delight. They had long heard that the Imperial Capital General Camp had sent Kameni to serve in the branch this year, and they had been eagerly looking forward to it for a long time.
Everyone knows that if the strength of the academy is to be improved, it is important to recruit outstanding students with outstanding talents, but if there is no powerful teaching, it will be a waste of good materials.
Kameni, on the other hand, was an excellent teacher. In the finals of the inter-academy competition, it was basically his students who could compete with the second and third training camps. Even the most talented can tap into their potential.
It is not known why Kameni left the camp. But his arrival was an absolute surprise for the Muni Branch. With such strong reinforcement joining, the faculty of the Muni City branch will at least go to a big step.
The knight instructors next to him had different expressions.
Compared with the nobles and senators, they knew better why Kameni came to the branch of Muni City.
In a sense, Kameni was a victim of a factional struggle, a poor loser. He was transferred to Muni City, not to strengthen the power of the Muni City Branch, but to be a kind of distribution.
You don't know much about Kameni, but you've heard a lot about him.
In the imperial capital, the evaluation of Kameni was very polarized.
People who like him, praise him. Consider him the best Knight Great Instructor in the first training camp, not one.
And those who don't like him scoff at his training methods.
In their eyes, Kameni's training was nothing more than ruthless destruction built on a massive overload.
Those simple, unskillful and unacademic training subjects are full of barbarism. In other words, as long as you hate it, you can do it. Even better than he did!
Over the years, Kameni has made a name for himself, but he has never led the first training camp to win a single championship in an inter-camp competition. That's enough to show that his set should have been thrown into the trash can a long time ago to stink!
The teachers of the Moonie branch didn't know if Kameni was in vain, but one thing they knew for sure was that no matter how good Kameni was, his life at the academy would not be easy.
You must know that Diarra, who also came out of the main camp, is the deputy commander of the main camp, Wilson's family, and he has not dealt with Kameni before. Now that Kameni is in his hands, he will never give Kameni any chance to turn over.
Diarra is said to have booked Kameni's position.
That's the great teaching of the E Brigade.
In that place, which was considered a garbage brigade, Kameni would have been buried in a pile of mud that could not hold up the wall, even if he had great ability. In a few years, he will disappear from people's sight and remain unknown until his old age.
And the man I was questioning just now, named Farley, was the "Teachings of the Brigade" of the Tomb City Branch.
Also Diarra's men.
He clearly didn't have good intentions in asking Kameni such questions.
There are thousands of knights' cultivation techniques. The fighting spirit is in the civil war, and the skills are outside. It is not easy to identify such a combat technique as the fist and palm technique, let alone identify the fighting qigong method running in the body without fighting.
At least none of the teachings present could recognize it.
Hearing Farley's question, Kameni said seriously: "This student is using a technique called [Seven Lines Decision]. Although the exercises are secluded, they are not family secret exercises. In the noble circle along the coast of Loulian, there were four families who practiced it. ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Guanli in confusion: "As the teacher of the Lulian Branch" brigade, Mr. Farley doesn't even know this?"
Fonmeni only said a word, and Farley's face was blue and white.
The crowd nodded their heads, all amazed by Kameni's erudition. Unexpectedly, a kind of exercise that was circulated in a small area among several families along the coast of Lulian could be recognized by him at a glance.
"Look!" cried out a frowning senator.
The crowd turned their heads to look. I saw that in the room, Hei Ming was like a black shadow of lightning, and he did not leave the puppet. With his attack, an aura suddenly swam up and his arm suddenly swam to the small
Leg. It's like coming to life.
"Boom!" Hei Ming staggered, caught up with the puppet like a shadow, and punched out. The battle ring under the nose's feet instantly flew into the fist and slammed into the puppet with a loud bang.
The puppet's body shook and quickly moved to the left. Hei Ming kicked under his feet, and he was already in the air. As he spun on a windmill and kicked his right leg hard at the puppet's head, the warring swam from his fist to the instep of his foot.
"Boom!" was another loud bang. A deafening cry erupted simultaneously from the second-floor platform and the playground crowd outside the building1.
"Orange!"
Roy stood in the middle of the queue of candidates in the playground, tilting his head and staring at the magic pattern circle on the building.
From the moment the sign representing candidate No. 16 Hei Ming changed from blue to orange in the first round of exams, he was drowned out by the tidal cheers. Until now, five rounds have passed, and the sound has not stopped.
Although Hei Ming's results were only fixed in orange and did not enter purple, among the three hundred candidates in the first five rounds, forty green and three orange appeared. This unexpected surprise is enough to ignite the enthusiasm of the fans.
"Look, it's Tina!" She was also not far from Orange Yi's side, and a candidate looked at the entrance of the passage, and excitedly looked at the other person next to her.
A girl in a tight leather coat with flowing black hair walked out nonchalantly. She had a face like a sculpture of a goddess of beauty, and a pair of diamond-shaped eyes that were too sharp at the corners of her eyes made her look full of cold wildness.
Facing people's eyes and pointing fingers, she didn't even pay attention to it, and walked directly to Hei Ming and Andre who came with her. This kind of almost rude indifference made her look like a piece of ice that had been cold for thousands of years, cold and compelling.
Of the three candidates from the south, Hei Ming and she were both orange. And they are all the darkest in color. Only Andrei, who was tall and looked a little wooden, was a little bit less than a light orange.
But it's enough to shake everyone. After the three of them finished the exam, the students who had originally developed some kind of hostility towards them because of their previous indifference changed their gaze at them at this moment.
There is some fear, some awe.
The level of armed four-star may not be much in a training camp. But these three people can be rated orange in the vindictive test, and the meaning is different. They are also armed with four stars, but their value is far ten times and a hundred times higher than that of other students of the same level.
In last year's freshman admission, only Xia Li and Tang Xiaoben were orange knights. Scarlett's is also an orange talent, but because she is a magician, her talent is not counted in the talent ranking of knight candidates.
And this year, the assessment has just begun, and there are already three oranges. Moreover, these three people are still the same group. This had to make the students present moved. After all, no one wants to be an enemy with such a person.
Not to mention that ordinary students were shocked by this southern trio, even Scarlett and Xia Li stared at these three people for a long time.
However, the same pride makes them feel like a trench with each other, and they are incompatible. After feeling Scarlett and Xia Li's gaze, the southern trio only raised their eyelids and said nothing more.
And this is already the most polite response they have received since they came to the first training camp.
Roy withdrew his gaze from Tina herself.
However, at this time, the other party seemed to feel his eyes, and his eyes were slightly turned to the side.
The moment the eyes of both sides crossed in the air, Roy was surprised to find that the indifference in the girl's eyes seemed to melt in an instant, and she even nodded to him gently.
Before Roy could discern if this was his delusion, the other boys named Heiming and Andre followed Tina's gaze and nodded at him in the same friendly manner when they saw him.
This scene, falling in the eyes of others, caused a slight commotion. Among the people of the aristocratic academy not far away, many of them were already pale.
"Three hundred and sixty. The voice of the clerk came.
Roy turned around, raised his hand, tidied up his clothes, and followed behind the sixth batch of candidates towards the passage of the examination room.
On the playground, it was quiet all of a sudden. People were staring at the magic array, holding their breath.
This round is the most important round.
Because, in this batch of sixty candidates, Pei Zhan, who is armed with four stars, Morey who is five stars, and another seven or eight candidates who are armed with three stars.
Whether it can come out of purple or not depends on the next three minutes!
"Three oranges! Damn!" Bobby and Cass stood outside the crowd, staring grimly at the magic circle on the main floor.
Things have turned out completely beyond their expectations. Among the three hundred people in front, there were more than forty greens and three oranges, a proportion that even exceeded the level of the training camp they were in in previous years.
If only you just watched from the sidelines, it would be fine. But as the other two training camps, they are naturally hostile here.
The surrounding fans were not polite to them, and the glances that swept over from time to time, and even deliberately boasted loudly from time to time, made them uncomfortable.
"It seems that the umbrella year is not optimistic. Cass Road.
Bobby looked around at the frenzied crowd and nodded.
This year is the year of the competition of the three battalions. Everyone was secretly holding back their strength. The arrival of Philip and Kahn has already put the first training camp in the limelight, and it would be a blow to be overwhelmed by them in terms of admissions.
They don't want to see the first training camp resurrection.
Although they had always been dismissive of the first training camp on the surface, they knew how wary they were of the first combat training camp founded by Grand Duke Solan.
For nearly a hundred years, the first training camp does not know how many outstanding knights and magicians have been trained. The depth of the heritage is unparalleled. Now she is like a giant sleeping, I hope she can sleep forever.
Otherwise, once she awakens, it will not only be the battle between the three major training camps, but also the balance of power between the nobles of the entire empire! As a member of the jungle of the nobles of the empire, this is the last thing they want to see.
"Our assessment should be over, right?" Bobby said as he looked at the time, a little anxious.
Because of a farce just now, the assessment time of the first battalion was delayed by one prayer hour than the two of them. Calculate the time, and now is the time to finish.
At this moment, suddenly, there was a commotion from the direction of the gate.
Bobby and Cass turned their heads to look, only to see a dozen young men who had gone to the second and third training camps to inquire about the news, rushing in like the wind.
As soon as they saw these people, the crowd around them immediately surrounded them. Although they were far away, they didn't know what they were talking about, but Bobby and Cass found that the fans who had just been happy were all silent with ugly faces.
At the same time, two affairs officers had already walked through the crowd and walked towards them.
Bobby and Cass's heartbeats raced dramatically.
Looking at the joy on the officer's face, and then at the indignant eyes of the first training camp supporters, they were already vaguely aware of something.
Moments later, the two officers walked up to Bobby and Cass, respectively.
"Mr. Bobby, our second training camp has six hundred and twenty students this year, one hundred and thirty green talents, fifteen orange talents, and three purple talents!" the affairs officer of the second training camp couldn't wait to report first.
"The purple three?" Bobby was surprised, grabbing his officer, "Is this true?"
"It's true, sir. The clerk was so excited that his face turned red.
This news not only made Bobby unable to believe his ears, but even Cass next to him was so jealous that his eyes were red. He quickly turned to his affairs officer and asked urgently, "What about our academy, what is the result?"
"The third battalion has six hundred and fifty recruits this year, one hundred and forty-five for green talents, eighteen for orange, and two for purple!" reported the officer of the third training camp.
Cass opened his mouth wide, his face looking a little sluggish because of the excessive surprise.
Although there is one less candidate with purple talent than in the second training camp, such a result is already unimaginable for him in the past.
Eighteen oranges, in particular, are simply amazing. Even compared to a province such as Saxony, which traditionally produces knights, I am afraid it is not much worse.
It took a long time for the two to come back to their senses from the surprise.
The clerk also reported on the assessment of the magicians.
Because of the scarcity of magicians, the information is simple after all.
Bobby and Cass learned that in terms of magic assessment, there were several magicians with orange talents in the second and third camps, and their magic, perception and control powers were quite good, and these people had not yet been counted in the overall talent ranking.
At this time, they were meeting the eyes of the surrounding crowd, and they had become extremely calm and calm.
The smile on his face is as warm as a spring breeze.
"It seems that this year is not the first training camp to be a scene. Bobby said with a smile, ignoring the knife-like gazes of several senior supporters of the first battalion around him.
Cass shook his head with a smile on his face: "I thought we would lose to the first battalion." I didn't expect that there were eighteen orange talents and two purple talents. ”
He looked around, "It's a pity, there are only a few of the best in the first battalion, and it is estimated that after this round, there will be nothing to see." ”
Bobby laughed too.
After staring at it for so long, he didn't see the magician who was bound to win in the three major training camps. Those who came to apply for the exam were those who had already learned about it before the admission date.
There is no suspense on the part of the magic students.
And as the most important knight aspect of the training camp, with the results of the second and third training camps, the first battalion can't catch up even if it shoots horses.
If you want to win this game, what else can the first battalion do?
Could it be that they could come up with a tricolor talent that was even more terrifying than the purple talent, representing the favor of the gods?
Amusing!
A bell rings, and the sixth round of assessment has begun.
