The peach grove in the northwestern part of the Vatican is gone. This means that spring is coming to an end and the hot summer is about to arrive. This will inevitably have an effect on everyone, it is time for small shops to put cold drinks on the shelves, and it is time for the chamber of commerce to prepare for a new round of contract negotiations. And within the Vatican, and even across the country, the end of spring is of great significance to parents. This not only means that the old school year is coming to an end, but also the beginning of the school season.

While Shelton was busy enrolling Merlin in the school, the Knight Academy also held an end-of-school assessment for all students. The school is divided into six grades, each of which has a different assessment content, and the most interesting of them is the annual assessment for one-year students. Obviously, there is a similar content for year-olds in the Academy of Magic, which will not be shown here.

The Golden Rose Knights, as a squad that had been hidden by the Knight Academy for a long time, finally appeared at this moment. An all-female squad of knights made quite a splash throughout the school, and most of the reserve knights had never heard of this squad, and it was still a little scary to see them standing next to their own team.

Marshall and the others wore civilian clothes, and each carried a bag behind them, which contained two or three days of basic survival supplies. All the trainees present were dressed exactly the same - clothes that could shade the sun, a package with survival supplies inside, and an identity tag. The so-called identity card is actually a token engraved with a magic pattern, which is entered with the relevant information of the student, and once the identity card is broken or lost, the test process of the corresponding student will end immediately.

"Why haven't you seen them?"

"It is said that it is the children of those big nobles, and it is normal that we don't see them."

"Is that so...... So you say, will they be weak? When the time comes, grab all their ID cards! ”

"You're not afraid of being hated by those nobles......"

"This is a knight academy of the jungle! Identity doesn't work here, only fists can speak! Hey, hey, hey...... Persimmon can be picked soft pinch. ”

"They must be very rich, and the weapons they carry with them are probably also very powerful."

"What's the use of embroidering legs?"

Marshall stared quietly at the two next to her discussing her team openly, she didn't bother to argue with them, in fact, they were right, when the time came, just talk with her fists and knock them all down. America came over at this time, carrying a huge mallet in her arms, and put it in Minia's hands. The two imps who were talking were suddenly so frightened that they couldn't speak.

"Don't I have a war stick?" Minia looked at the gavel in disgust, and her five fingers were inserted with a little force.

"If you use a baton, you'll kill someone directly." Amerika lowered his voice and said embarrassedly, "Your father told you to keep your hands a little bit, and if you kill someone, he will take you back immediately." ”

Minia rolled her eyes widely, "Oh. ”

Since then, there has been silence around the Golden Rose Knights, and no one dares to talk about them anymore. It seems that the fists are the most useful, able to stop the gossip. In recent times, the girls' fighting skills have also improved to a higher level, and even Zibelin can fight Marshall a few times with her with a slight release of water.

The playground was full of students who were about to be assessed, starting with first-year students such as Marshall. After a brief ceremony and speeches, the heads of each grade pulled them to the appropriate assessment venue. The first-year students, led by America and the others, went to the auditorium next to the corridor where Marshall and Zibelin had previously verified the strange story.

The entire auditorium had been cleaned a few days ago, otherwise it would have been covered in a thick layer of dust. Marshall and Zibelin thought back to the previous scene, and they couldn't help but feel anxious, after all, they didn't want to see the disgusting slime again. They distinctly remembered the stench in the small room beneath the auditorium, and the source of the stench was a gel girl who would devour everything, her name was Alice.

At the front of the auditorium is a raised platform, which provides great convenience for decoration. There was an old man standing on it, with a huge horn in his hand, and when everyone had arrived, the door to the auditorium slammed shut with a loud bang. Everyone looked back, and there was another hoarse cough behind them, and the children turned back again.

The old man began to speak: "Energetic knights! You've been studying in this house for a year......" The words were obviously cumbersome and sleepy, and even America, the teacher, couldn't help yawning and dozing off against the door. America had already told the girls the main gist of the test, but the other students had not heard it, so they had to overcome the sleepy bugs and memorize the rules of the game.

As he listened, Marshall seemed to hear something that was different from America's, but it wasn't actually a discrepancy, but something new. Specifically, the details of the assessment scene are that they are about to survive in a desert area for a month, which means that water is a scarce supply for everyone. All of them will be assigned to all corners of the desert in squads and grow in battle.

Each person's identity tag is not only used as a tool to mark identity, but also the internal space transformation technique also ensures the safety of the individual. In order to guarantee the inevitability of clashes between the two sides, every half day, each person's ID card will show the members of the other team closest to them. If you don't have the desire to attack them, you can't guarantee that the other party won't come to grab your identity card.

In addition, the ID card seems to be more important than Marshall previously thought, and an extra ID card can even be used for an "off-site aid", no matter when and where, you can receive an ID card in exchange for supplies, usually able to survive for about three days. Of course, if you don't get enough ID cards at the end, even if you survive to the end, this time the assessment will be judged as a failure.

The top three teams in the test will be rewarded with decreasing rankings. If you tie the pass of the test to the reward, then the effort is not proportional to the reward. In return, the school will give the top team a fourth-order magic weapon as a reward, and ordinary schools can't do it like that.

Only about half of the students who have been successfully promoted in each class have been promoted. As a result, a large proportion of students are at risk of repeating grades......

Hearing this, the old man's explanation of this test also came to an end, and the teachers of each class gave the final advice to the students who were about to enter. Seeing this, America also stepped forward to give a few words of advice to the students.

"What I can teach you, that's all I can do in the lack of time." America said embarrassedly, "According to the general lesson plan, you won't actually be sent here......"

"This is ......" Marshall frowned, watching the floor of the auditorium become less and less illusory, "Teacher, what exactly did you not tell us?" ”

America smiled embarrassedly, "Well...... I don't know personally, don't ask me. However, before I leave, I would like to tell you not to underestimate this test, there are other things besides all kinds of beasts and poisons. Any kindness has a price, don't take it at will. ”

"Where will we be sent?" Ilya said.

America said, "It's good to stand here. Hopefully, there will be some rain in the desert, otherwise most of the students will be unable to hold back their thirst and will be eliminated. ”

"I always feel a little familiar...... "Zibelin covered his mouth, his face visibly uncomfortable, "this is the ...... at the time"

"Miss Zibelin, don't guess, the test is about to begin—"

Before America could finish speaking, the voice suddenly left them, and the floor under the girls' feet shattered into squares, and they escaped into the illusory darkness. The weightlessness flashed in front of everyone, the unreal illusion encroached on everything around them, and the girls shivered, something slippery and greasy stuck to their backs, and quickly extended upwards!

The stickiness stopped at the back of their heads, and it disappeared completely.

When everyone opened their eyes, a blazing wind blew in their faces. I don't know when, they are already in the middle of the dry and cracked desert, and the bands of light that descend not far away are like colorful road signs, which indicates that other teams have also arrived one after another.

How exactly is this done? All the students couldn't understand it.

But it is clear that the person who gave the exam question understood. Minia's father, Mr. Roshan, was somewhere outside the exam room watching a glass vessel containing the gel-like girl, who called herself Alice.
