Chapter 62 Loopholes in the Rules
It turns out that this year's actual combat assessment is like this, not only for the extraordinary ability of self-combat, but also to test the comprehensive application of students' own abilities, even if they don't defeat any enemies, as long as they can hide themselves, they can also clear the level.
It's just that the students of the higher education who act as examiners may have even more weird abilities to counteract!
If you want to be able to protect your sapphires, the registration fee for this competition can be saved.
After a general understanding of the requirements and process of the exam, Russell put the sapphire into the dimensional pocket.
Although he only knew that the Hunters were students of the High School, he did not mention the specific grade level. But Russell believed that the hunter should only be a third-grader.
After all, there are only a few fourth-year students in the Higher School, and the gap between them and second-year students is too big. It would be unfair for a fourth year to be a hunter.
Uh, if that fourth-grader is an arctic wolf...... Well, that's not quite fair to the Arctic wolf...... Russell's mind fluctuated.
After hearing that they could exchange the name fee, the candidates also happily discussed:
"No wonder the registration fee is so high, it turns out that as long as you pass the exam, you can get the registration fee back."
"If you fail to clear the customs, not only will you have to repeat the level for another year, but the gold coins of these 10 colleges will be gone."
Professor Onyx, who was dressed in red and wore gold-rimmed glasses, frowned slightly as he listened to the laughter of the candidates.
She stepped forward and said in a serious tone:
"Fellow candidates, I have to warn you in advance, don't think that you are considered a top student in the primary school, and you will be sure to pass the test in this actual combat assessment.
"You are not dealing with the ordinary people of the first and second years of the elementary academy, but the super geniuses who can enter the higher academy, the top transcendents who can compete with the teachers of the academy, and you must not speculate on them with common sense!
"In the actual combat assessment in previous years, all the candidates failed and none of them cleared the customs, and there were many times."
All the candidates failed!
Such a cruel fact made many candidates who were still laughing have a heavy look on their faces.
Many of Clara's tentacles drooped, and dozens of eyes were equally filled with worry and anxiety.
But there are still many people who are full of faith.
Subway looked eager to try, holding a magic brush in one hand and an enchanted desert eagle in the other.
Mr. Duncan, the principal, also rolled up his sleeves and rubbed his hands, waiting for the moment when he could show his talents.
Russell went through the rules in his mind, and immediately thought of a question, raised his hand and asked:
"If my sapphire is snatched by a hunter and retrieved by 5 p.m. tomorrow, will it be considered a clearance?"
Professor Black Amber was visibly stunned for a moment, and immediately recalled the details of the rules, and replied:
"Yes, that's also considered a pass. But it's not easy to get the sapphire back from the hunters. ”
"Then if the sapphire I snatched back is not my original one, is it considered a customs clearance?" Russell asked, "For example, I may have been robbed of a sapphire by a hunter and sapphire from another hunter. Apparently the other hunter's sapphire came from the other candidates. ”
What's the problem? It's true, Russell...... Professor Black Amber couldn't help but scold.
The elegant black cat coughed lightly twice, struggling to recall the details of the rulebook:
"This is also considered a customs clearance. In principle, all you need to do is have a sapphire in your hand at the end of the exam at 5 p.m. tomorrow. ”
"Wait a minute, I have one more question." Russell's question shows no signs of stopping, "If one candidate's sapphire is taken away, can one attack other candidates to get the sapphire?" ”
Professor Black Amber said solemnly:
"Of course not. The camp of the hunter and the prey is fixed, and deliberately attacking other candidates is considered a violation and will be subject to our warning. ”
"What if ......," Russell was about to ask, but Professor Black Amber immediately added:
"No candidate can take the initiative to give his sapphire to other candidates, give up his own chance to clear the customs, and let others clear the customs."
"Okay, I see." Russell nodded, and then asked, "One sapphire can be exchanged for 10 academy gold coins after the exam, right?" If ......"
Before Russell could ask the next question, Onyx hurried up and announced loudly:
"I now declare,
"Forest Hunting, it's officially begun!"
As the words fell, several teachers, including Onyx and Black Amber, floated and flew into the air to observe the movements of the exam from above.
Russell looked left and right, his gaze sweeping over the candidates.
Of the 30 or so candidates, several were a little overwhelmed and spun in place; Several people scattered and walked away, as if they wanted to hide deep in the dense forest until the end of the exam time; There are also some candidates who are good with each other, and they get together in twos and threes, as if they want to form a team.
What is obvious is that there is no restriction on the formation of teams in this actual combat assessment.
When facing the hunters of the Higher Academy, the second-year students who formed the team will undoubtedly have stronger resistance!
Duncan didn't seem to have any intention of teaming up with anyone, and after a few turns in place, he left the scene, went deep into the forest, and disappeared without a trace.
Russell didn't hesitate and walked straight to Subway and Clara:
"Let's form a team and watch out for each other to prevent being raided by the hunters of the High Academy!"
Although Russell may be the No. 2 strongest of all the contestants, he is not at all careless.
The rules of this forest hunting competition test not only strength, but also brains and coping ability.
Russell knew that he lacked combat experience with most of the third-year powerhouses in the major, and he might capsize in the gutter if he was not careful!
"No problem," Subway patted his chest, raised the magic pen in his hand again, and drew a few imaginary strokes in the air, dragging out illusory ink marks:
"Russell, I know you're already a third-year powerhouse, but don't underestimate me.
"I have consulted the elders of the family many times in the past six months, and I have learned a series of powerful Danqing summoning techniques, which can summon many powerful demons and monsters. I don't usually have a chance to use it, but now I finally have the opportunity to show my skills! ”
Russell nodded slightly, took out the mobile phone in his pocket, and three translucent spirit phantoms appeared beside him.
Pale and hazy Sleepman.
A female ghost with fluttering white hair and wind chimes.
A sculptor with a snake-haired head and closed eyes.
"Why is this spirit that looks a lot like Medusa's head with its eyes closed?" Subway asked, pointing to the sculptor.
"Because if it opens its eyes, it automatically triggers a petrified gaze. The unlucky ones who happen to look here will be turned to stone. Russell explained.
The surrounding candidates have not completely dispersed, and he doesn't want some of the candidates to be inexplicably petrified!
While the Skull Sculptor can also actively de-petrify and revert the petrified creature back to its original state, it will take a little time.
"That kind of transcendent creature whose body is originally made of stones, such as stone people, earth elementals, and rock golems, will look at Medusa's eyes and turn into stone?" Subway, who was familiar with Russell's thinking, raised his doubts.
"It will turn into a stone of another material, and it will not affect normal movement at all." Russell didn't even think about it and answered directly.
Apparently I've tried it before!
