Chapter 145: Five Hundred Kilometers in Three Days
Chester nodded in satisfaction, then continued:
"Now announce the next task, your first three days are very simple, there is only one task, that is - running!"
When Chester said the specifics of the mission, there was a buzz in the student ranks. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info I'm afraid that except for a few people, no one could have imagined that the first task of the training camp was to let a group of mages go for a run.
The chatter died down under Chester's piercing gaze. Chester looked at the group that had returned to silence, nodded in satisfaction, and continued:
"Three days, you only have three days. During these three days, you can arrange your own schedule, as long as you complete one task - run 500 kilometers. That's right, there's only one mission. If you can do it in one day, then congratulations, the remaining two days are as much as you want. Of course, you can also try to play for two days and then complete the 500-kilometer run on the last day. If you choose the latter, please be mentally prepared, because after three days, those who have not completed the task will be able to go home. Those who successfully complete the task will be ranked higher according to the ranking of the completion. ”
After Chester explained the details of the mission, a soldier walked up to the group carrying a suitcase.
Chester pointed to the box and said:
"Each person receives one bracelet in this. It's crafted with special magic crystals that can detect if you're using magic while running. Remember, this training is purely physical training, and any kind of magic is forbidden. The bracelet also keeps track of the distance you've run, and when you've run 500 kilometers, it glows green. ”
After Chester finished speaking, he motioned to the students in the front row to line up to receive the bracelets one by one.
"Also, we will arrange for someone to supervise the training ground 24 hours a day, if there is any cheating, it is not as simple as ending the training camp, any student who cheats will be expelled from the school immediately, there is no need to negotiate. ”
With that, Chester left without looking back. The rest of the time is left to the students themselves. How to arrange, he doesn't want to care, he only wants the result.
Caesar took the bracelet and looked at it for a moment, and put it on his hand.
Just listen to the "click", the bracelet seems to lock automatically, and if you want to take it again, you can't take it off.
After receiving the bracelets, most of the students naturally started running immediately.
500 kilometers is not a small number, and a healthy person can run more than 10 kilometers in an hour, and more than 100 kilometers in a day. Besides, who can run for more than ten hours in a row without getting tired? As the running time accumulates, the speed will only get slower and slower due to the loss of physical strength.
For their group of mages who had never trained physically, the 500 kilometers were a difficult hurdle. The next three days were undoubtedly a tough challenge.
The seven men of the special recruitment class gathered around Caesar.
Everyone's face was full of worry, no one wanted to be eliminated at the beginning of the training camp, but the 500 kilometers might be too difficult for them.
Feynman, in particular, is a bit obese and has not been very strong. At this time, his face was already bitter and bitter, and his eyebrows were so wrinkled that he couldn't join them together.
Caesar looked at the faces of the people who were suffering, and asked aloud:
"How's that? Do you think you can do it?"
Except for Albert and Nilnit, who thought about it and nodded reluctantly, everyone else shook their heads like rattles.
Hill looked at Nilnet with some surprise and said strangely:
"I can't see it, Nilnit, I don't usually like to talk, how can I come at this time? Are you sure you can run these five hundred kilometers?"
Nirnet has a typical aristocratic face, with blond hair and blue eyes, and that soft face always makes people feel a little unheroic, especially with that long golden hair. In Feynman's words, if Nilnet was a woman, he would be the first to chase him.
Even Nilnit, who has such an angelic face, usually doesn't like to talk, and he feels weak when he speaks, which always makes people feel that they lack some self-confidence.
That's why, when Neilnet thinks he's up to the mark, Hill is so surprised.
Faced with Hill's questioning, Nilnet touched his head and said with some embarrassment:
"I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it, but in fact, my goal from the beginning was to become a powerful swordsman, because my family thought that nobles should be a noble mage, so they forced me to come to the magic academy. But in fact, I have been secretly exercising in private, so I thought that I should be able to complete the 500 kilometers. ”
This time, Nilnit is really amazing. No one knew that the weak-looking Nirnet had always dreamed of becoming a swordsman.
"Really? This ...... I still didn't expect it. ”
Even Albert was stunned.
Nirnet nodded shyly.
Looking at the few people who were quite unconfident, Caesar was also a little difficult, and he could only say like this:
"Everybody is now on the same starting line. Without magic, no one is superior to anyone, talent is no longer a problem, and if you can't pull yourself together, then no one can help you. Come on. ”
Caesar's tone was quite light, but it was undoubtedly a thunderclap in the hearts of Hill and the others.
yes, no one can use magic now, everyone is the same, so what's there to be afraid of?
Everyone finally reacted to this.
The long-term gap with other people in the academy has made everyone in the special recruitment class a little unconfident, and they feel inferior no matter what they do.
Looking at the few people who had rekindled hope, Caesar nodded and said:
"Now everyone is the same, and the only way to complete the task is to fight. I'll start running first, so take your time. ”
With that, Caesar turned and entered the runway.
Soon, most of the students were already in the groove. Although Chester said that confident people can play for two days first, as long as they complete the mission within three days. But those who can enter the Royal Higher Academy of Magic are not stupid, everyone knows how difficult it is to go for five hundred kilometers in three days, and no one will make the stupid choice of "resting for two days first". Everyone worked hard and threw themselves into the run.
Caesar, who entered the state, did not use all his strength, after all, as a sword saint, his physical strength was too terrifying, if he did it with all his strength, let alone three days, I am afraid that he would be able to complete the task in less than half a day, it would be too conspicuous, and it was easy to arouse the suspicion of others.
But even so, in a rather casual state, he quickly left most of the people behind and entered the first echelon of the leader.
Looking ahead, Gilgamesh, Reiner, and Solomon were among them, along with a few others they hadn't seen. It is this about a dozen people who form the first echelon that far surpasses the others.
These people seemed to be secretly competing with each other, and everyone was running seriously, and their speed was no less than that of ordinary swordsmen.
An atmosphere of tension permeated the small team.
