Volume 1 Threesome Chapter 9 Academy Trials
A few days later, the annual trials of the Royal Academy of Magic in Belmar finally began.
The site of the trial, located near the Gran Forest, was a well-equipped camp that had just been set up. Students who are eligible for the trial will depart from here for a week-long trial without any supplies or support.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the annual trial, and the content of the assessment is to clean up the mutated monsters in the forest. Record the drops of various monsters collected as scores, the more you collect, the better your scores, and the drops of powerful monsters will calculate the higher scores!" Principal Linde stood on the high platform and made the most powerful mobilization speech in a loud voice, "After the assessment, the team that won the first place will be rewarded with a transfer to the Principality's Great Magic Array!"
As soon as Dean Linde's words came out, all the trialists were immediately excited.
Although this is a tradition for many years, it is difficult for these young people who are full of dreams and ambitions to keep their cool when they think that they have the opportunity to change careers in the best possible condition.
However, there are also people who feel uneasy.
"The content of each assessment is different, I didn't expect our trial to be so difficult, damn mutations, so that the monsters have become stronger. ”
"But this is also an opportunity, to be able to change jobs! Although it is a tradition to be able to use the Principality's magic array, I didn't expect that this time the academy even provided materials, this is a real reward, if we let us prepare by ourselves, even if we have the opportunity to change jobs, it will be delayed for at least several months!"
The expressions of the students are different, some are happy and some are sad, some are ready to go, and some are calling for friends. Even Midi was slightly moved.
In the previous life, the reward did not include the materials for changing jobs, but it seems that with his rebirth and the difference in his attitude towards his surroundings, this world has also changed. This is probably the so-called butterfly effect, right?
A butterfly with a flick of its wings can cause a storm on the other side of the sea. Small variables can be influenced by layers to brew into a huge change.
Is it because of the change of factions?" Midi thought, glancing not far away.
At this time, Fenrir Seth also turned his head and looked at Midi with the eyes of a dead man.
Then he grinned and stretched out his hand and scratched it around his neck.
Fenrir also has a strong squad.
Unlike the arrogant Fina, the Seth family had already put a lot of effort into Fenrir when he was enrolled, and sent three of the family's highly qualified generations of domestic servants to the academy together. In other words, from the very beginning, he came in with a team that was good enough to win the championship in the trial.
Now, all of these servants have become level 18 students, and they are like stars and moons, protecting Fenrir in the middle. Midi had no doubt that if there was a need in the trial, they would not hesitate to lower their own level, even their lives, to help their masters get as good results as possible.
It's just that, in Midi's opinion, this is not a team at all, just a young man with a high eye and three hounds, which may indeed be very powerful in a head-to-head confrontation, but it can't cope with the ever-changing environment in the wild.
He was more worried about whether anything would happen to the Assassin in his memory from his previous life.
After all, the rewards of trials have changed.
What if the Seth family recruited more and stronger Assassins because they had changed sides?
A sense of helplessness and urgency gripped him at the same time, but he quickly recovered.
"In any case, since it is already happening, there is no regret about it. I'm already by Fina's side, and the next thing to do is to actively gain strength and make up for regrets, even if everything turns out beyond recognition in the end, I will never regret it!" Midi subconsciously glanced at his left arm in the glove.
He didn't tell anyone about becoming a ghost swordsman, this is the biggest hole card, and the later it is exposed, the more he can gain the initiative.
"In the name of the Master of Magic, I declare that the trial begins now!" said Dean Lindh loudly.
With the melodious sound of the horn, countless students rushed towards the Gran Forest, as if what they were engaged in was not a battle trial, but a competitive race.
However, this is also a very normal judgment. After all, in the past three years, there are also many tasks to be completed in the forest, so there are many areas that are more familiar to the students, relatively safe and easy to hunt, and the types of monsters, the number of them, the way of attacking, the terrain, etc., everyone knows very well.
As long as you occupy these areas in advance, you can clear the monsters efficiently, which is equivalent to taking the lead in the trial.
But Fina's group certainly didn't move.
Fenrir's team, as well as several other elite teams with level 18 members, did not move.
This is not to say the surplus of the aristocracy or the modesty of the gentleman, but because there is no need for that at all.
"It's rare, the Gran Forest has also ushered in the annual situation of more and fewer people, I wonder what it will be like in a while?" Lillian laughed mockingly, and then looked at the red-haired girl, "Miss Fina, where are we going?"
"East. Fina said succinctly.
It was the path that led to the poisonous ruins of the depths of the Gran Forest.
Even in the face of trials, the future Queen of Magic Bullets carried out her style without changing her face, and chose the most difficult route as soon as she came up. It's based on confidence in yourself and trust in your teammates.
"Midi. The red-haired girl glanced at the black-haired boy and added, "Don't hold back, remember to speak up if you have any questions." ”
"Understood. Midi replied with a smile.
With this sentence, the relatively calm and calm Sigmund put aside, and the always suspicious Lilian would not refuse Midi's request for help. Although Midi estimated that his combat power should surpass that of the two of them after possessing the ghost hand, the Storm Queen's invisible light still made him feel a burst of warmth.
This is the team, although it is still in the run-in period, but it has a pure and flawless bond.
Several other elite teams, after seeing Fina choose the eastern route, did not hesitate to choose the western route to enter the Gran Forest - just kidding, they didn't want to go head-to-head with the Storm Queen, even if they reached level 19, even if they were known as elites, they were nothing in front of the red-haired girl.
Fenrir's eyes gleamed with resentment. He was not afraid of the monsters that poisoned the ruins, and he also had a desire to compete with the Storm Queen head-on, but when he thought of Fina's methods and orders from the head of the house, in the end, reason suppressed the impulse.
"Let's go in the middle!" Fenrir growled, "see the other teams along the way, kill them!"
As the last team also entered the forest, the week-long trial officially began.
"Quick, fast, I've lured a bunch of goblins!" one of the students yelled anxiously as he ran.
This academy student is a level 16 martial artist, with a lean body and fast speed, and his long-term training has made him faster than ordinary people at a young age. It's just that the group of goblins behind is not slow after mutating, although they can't catch up, they have been far away, and the endurance of the monsters is obviously much stronger than that of the pampered academy students, and in the long-distance pursuit, the goblins gradually have the upper hand.
The scorching sun shone through the trees on the goblins, making them a terrifying reflection of the bloodstained weapons in their hands.
"The monster has entered the encirclement, let's go!" The other three students who were lying in ambush in the trees finally appeared after the goblins passed.
The boy in charge of attracting the monster also stopped at this moment, turned around, and threw the mine that ignited the fuse in his hand at the goblins.
The mines that were thrown out, along with the mines that had been planted in the grass for a long time, caused a violent explosion that blew up the otherwise neat team of goblins.
"Kill them all!" Ignoring the smoke, the students surrounded them and displayed their skills.
This is a team with a lot of luck, and they are familiar with the terrain and the skills of the monsters, so they have a successful ambush.
There are also teams that have fallen into unfamiliar environments and struggled. To make matters worse, those who had already beaten the monster to the point of dying, but were stabbed sideways by other teams, the two teams argued, and even an internal brawl broke out, and although there were no deaths, they caused wounded and had to withdraw.
In the large camp outside the Grand Forest, the head of the Linde Academy sat in the central tent, and beside him, there were several other main leaders in the academy, as well as many transfer people above level 25, who kept coming and going in the camp.
This is the second day of the trial.
"How's it going?" said Dean Linde, looking at the extremely detailed map of the Gran Forests on his desk, as he asked a former who had just returned.
"Report to the Dean, so far, a total of four teams have been withdrawn, there have been two disputes, there are three wounded, and no serious injuries have been made. The teams that withdrew have already been picked up, so please don't worry. The transferee replied.
The head of Linde House bowed slightly, and said, "So so far, which teams have made faster progress?"
The transferee immediately replied, "Report to the Elder of the Academy, so far, Fina and Fenrir's team has gone deeper, among them, Fenrir's team has entered the depths of the Glan Forest, and Fina's team has cleared several thunderous ruins. ”
"Sure enough, the 'Storm Queen' is in the lead. ”
"Fenrir's results are also good, and it seems that the Seth family's planning over the years has also had an effect. ”
"Maybe Fenrir will come from behind, doesn't it mean that Miss Fina's team has a gentleman who is only level 16, and after a long time, he will definitely not be able to support it, and he will be held back. ”
"Don't you know, what kind of fool is it, a week ago when Miss Fina was assessing, that student named Midi passed the Flame Challenge!"
The heads of the academy were discussing with each other.
"Go down. The head of the Linde Academy nodded to the transferee, "Tell the others to do a good job of protection, and it depends on the students' own ability to win or lose, but there must be no safety problems, especially Fenrir and Fina's team, which is related to the honor of our Academy of Magic." ”
"Yes, sir. "The transferee retired.
The Magic Academy has arranged many battles in the wilderness, but the wilderness survival trial that does not provide supplies and lasts for a week like this is the first time for the academy students, and it is quite risky. Although there are many commoners among these students, more of them are the children of nobles, and if something happens, the pressure on the academy will be unimaginable. Therefore, the college will secretly arrange a large number of transfers above level 25 to monitor the entire assessment.
And the main powerhouses around level 30 are sitting in the camp, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.
Lind was very happy with this arrangement, at least, it had not gone wrong in the past ten years. Although the Queen's faction and the parliamentarian faction are tense this year, haven't they been like this before?
I guess I can survive the trial, right?" thought Dean Linde.
