Chapter 20: New Teammates

The venue of this year's freshman actual combat drill is still the well-known "Black Rock Forest" within a radius of 100 miles from Black Rock College. Most people would be extremely surprised that there was a forest in the academy, but in fact, the "Black Rock Forest" was not inside the Black Rock Academy, but just nearby.

What is truly amazing is that for some reason, this "Black Rock Forest" has automatically formed a natural barrier. No profession in the outside world that is higher than level 5 will be able to enter, even if it breaks through level 14 and goes to another realm. Although this natural barrier protects the beasts in the "Black Rock Forest" from being disturbed by people from the outside world, it also restricts their growth, and after so many years since the establishment of the Black Rock Academy, the highest of these beasts is only level 5.

This is also the reason why the Dean did not let Rekner appear, but asked Ezreal to come out with great heartache.

Originally, this freshman combat drill only needed Irene and Ezreal to come, but Rekner had no choice but to rub his face up. Ezreal waited for the three of them for a while to finally come to the entrance of the "Black Rock Forest", but the surrounding scene made Ezreal somewhat enlightened

The entrance to the venue was crowded with new students, but not all of them were freshmen from Black Rock Academy, and a large number of them belonged to other colleges. As soon as Ezreal saw this scene, he knew that Black Rock Academy had invited other colleges to co-host this freshman combat drill.

It's no wonder that when the Dean faced Ezreal's disguised blackmail, he could only accept it with great reluctance in his heart. There is no way, if the freshman actual combat drill sority competition held on its own territory is still won by other colleges, Black Rock Academy will be completely discredited.

Ezreal suddenly felt unhappy when he learned the truth, and if he had raised the price to 200 gold coins at that time, the dean-sama would have to break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. However, since he agreed, Ezreal could only admit it if he was unhappy. After all, although Ezreal's asking price is a bit dark, if he agrees, he will do his best to complete it, unless then the dean of such and such an academy finds him and secretly stuffs himself with a diamond coin. However, now that Ezreal is not well-known, how could there be a dean of such and such an academy here who suddenly found a level 3 magician apprentice with the wrong nerves.

What's more, you must know that the entire Black Rock Academy has only sold two diamond coins, as long as it is a normal person, who would take half of the Black Rock Academy for a small freshman actual combat exercise?

Ezreal looked at his own dean on the rostrum, and the deceitful and unhappy eyes made the dean feel cold. The Dean ignored Ezreal very indifferently, suddenly stood up and waved his hand, signaling the freshmen present to be quiet, and the Vice Dean on the side began to announce the rules of this friendly match.

Except that the level itself does not exceed level 5, it is nothing more than that no other teams are allowed to shoot during friendly matches, and only points are allowed to be obtained by killing beasts. If a team takes the lead in attacking another team, it will be immediately disqualified from the competition and will be deducted with 0 points.

In addition, there is the calculation of the points obtained from killing monsters. Killing a level 1 beast earns 1 point, level 2 for 2 points, level 3 for 4 points, and level 4 for 8 points. As for the level 5 beast king in the "Black Rock Forest", it has a high score of 32.

Finally, each team must have 3 players, no less than or more than this number, before they are allowed to enter the Black Rock Forest.

Hearing this last point, Ezreal had no choice but to hand it off, originally he wanted Irene to join the other teams, and he could leave his burden behind and kill the beast to score points. And now, anyway, if you want to bring a drag oil bottle, it's better to bring a more familiar one.

As if seeing Ezreal's thoughts, Irene snorted coldly and said, "I'm also a level 2 magician apprentice now, a little stronger than most of the novices present, and I won't hold you back." Having said that, Irene knew in her heart that with her strength, being able to deal with a level 2 beast was already the limit. If Ezreal wants to challenge the level 5 beast king, she will definitely be dragging her feet on the side, but Irene, who has a little tsundere, is still a little unhappy in her heart.

Rekner, who has always been loyal to Irene and has always rebelled against Ezreal, also has a clear conscience and praises: "With Miss Irene's magician ability, it is your honor to be able to help your eldest brother." If you can't win the championship in this way, then it can only mean that your strength is too watery, big brother. ”

Ezreal's almost outrageous words caused Ezreal to roll his eyes, ignoring the rebellious Rekner beside him, and Ezreal had to patiently look around for a new partner.

I have to say that the freshmen of this Black Rock Academy are really not very talented, although it is rare for other colleges to see freshmen who are at the same level 3 as Ezreal, there are a few level 2 freshmen. On the other hand, Black Rock Academy, at a glance, most of them are all Level 1 rookies. It's no wonder that his own dean wants to find Ezreal at any cost, otherwise there is really no chance of winning. Ezreal sighed in her heart: It seems that Irene is right this time, compared to other freshmen who are also Black Rock Academy, she is indeed not very likely to drag herself down.

Just as Ezreal wants to bring a drag oil bottle with him, a pretty little girl accidentally collides with Ezreal. With a scream, Ezreal touched the bag on his head and looked at the reckless little girl with some dismay.

The reckless little girl looked like she was fifteen or sixteen years old, but it was just a matter of height, and most people mistook it for a little girl of thirteen or fourteen. Short hair reaches the ears, with two hairpins on the left and right on the head, and the hair is tightly tied behind the ears, showing a smooth and white face. A pair of beautiful and moving big eyes, very bright. That cute nose is slightly upturned, giving people a playful feeling, and it looks very cute.

Seeing the small bow in the dwarf girl's hand, Ezreal knew that the dwarf girl was a level 1 archer.

Patting the dust off his body, Ezreal looked at the big eyes of the short girl that flashed with a trace of tears, and for some reason his heart softened, he got up and picked up the short girl who fell to the ground, and asked in a gentle tone that had never been to Irene before, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay," the short girl looked up at Ezreal's handsome appearance, coupled with Ezreal's gentleness, her heartbeat accelerated for some reason, her face flushed inadvertently, and she said a little shyly: "Thank you!"

"That's good!" Ezreal smiled as the elder brother of the leading family, stretched out his left hand and asked in a friendly manner, "My name is Ezreal, what about you?"

"My name is Ai Xue. The little girl said with some embarrassment as she shook Ezreal's little hand.

At this time, Irene and the others also found Ezreal from the crowd. Looking at Ezreal from afar, who was holding hands with someone he didn't know, a flash of joy flashed in Reykner's eyes, and he thought to himself: No wonder Ezreal can ignore Miss Irene's charm and always rudely quarrel with Miss Irene. It turns out that Ezreal likes this type

Compared to Rekner's reassurance that he had no competitors, Irene was very unhappy for some reason. Especially when she saw Ezreal actually showing a gentle smile to the short girl that she had never seen before, Irene couldn't control her feet and stepped forward for some reason.

"Ezreal. ”

Hearing the cries of his now barely counted companions, Ezreal let go of his left hand and turned to look at Irene and the others who were walking towards him.

Rekner stopped and looked at Ai Xue beside Ezreal, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Originally, I couldn't see clearly from a distance, but I realized the cute and moving appearance of this short girl up close. But turning to look at Irene, Rekner instantly came back to his senses, and said in a mocking tone: "Ezreal, no wonder you've been looking for a teammate for so long, it turned out to be"

Ezreal didn't pay much attention to Reckner's shitty words, but Ai Xue's face turned red and she was extremely embarrassed, and explained a little hesitantly: "No, it's not like that. ”

Ezreal could only sigh secretly at this: This little brother has failed too much! Then, Ezreal waved his palm violently, and directly knocked the smiling Rekner out of the novice combat training venue under the surprised gaze of many novices.

After dealing with the annoying Reykner, Ezreal pointed to the short girl and said to the strange-looking Irene, "Introduction, Aixue, our new teammate." ”

Before Ireen could say anything, when Ezreal wanted her to join the team, Ai Xue said with a little flinching, "No, no, I'm just a level 1 archer apprentice, and if I team up with you, it will drag you down." ”

Ezreal shook his head, and when he wanted to say a few words of comfort, Irene touched Ai Xue's little head, which was a head shorter than herself, and persuaded Ezreal unexpectedly: "Anyway, for Ezreal, there is not much difference between level 1 and level 2, in his eyes, they are all oil bottles, if you don't join, Ezreal will have to find someone again, isn't it more troublesome?"

Ai Xue heard Irene say this, and after thinking for a while, she nodded very obediently.

Looking at Irene, who didn't want to be so vexatious at this time, but was a little gentle, Ezreal's eyes flashed with a hint of strangeness, and he didn't speak
