Alan shuddered at Cynthia's words. It was obviously in the midst of a crowd of people who were talking, but he felt uneasy, as if even this crowded auditorium was no longer safe.

"Dead?!" Alan cried out in a low voice, "Is it so serious?"

Alyssa and Riel also looked over this side when they heard Alan's voice.

"Yes, this tournament is more difficult than you can imagine...... "This tournament is called 'Triple Trial' because it has a total of three rounds, namely the first round of the written test, the second round of the wilderness survival test, and the third round of one-on-one elimination. ”

"Survival in the wild?" Alan understood a little bit of what the danger of this competition was when he heard the word.

"Looks like you've figured out why someone is dying. "But don't think it's easy to get into the second round, because only those who have a perfect score in the first round of the written test are eligible to enter the second round." ”

"Are the conditions so harsh?" Alan couldn't help but wonder.

That is, whoever can pass the first round is the best of the best. "However, even if this happens, a significant number of people will die in the arena, and even some of the proctors are not 100% sure that they will be able to get out of it, because there are a lot of mesmerizers and fog spirits, and even Grant and werewolves...... Do you understand how hard it really is?"

"What!?" Alan swallowed as he was startled, "And this kind of thing!?...... this game"

"So I suggest you'd better not participate. Alan didn't finish Cynthia before she could finish speaking, "It's a bit embarrassing, but after all, it's a matter of life." Well...... Although I also know that you have a very good theoretical knowledge, the second and third rounds of actual combat are beyond your ability to cope with now. ”

"Well, I think so...... too" Alan nodded. Although he was a little unwilling, Cynthia was right, all he could use now was some general magic and enchantment magic, and he didn't even have his own major.

"Of course, not many people dared to sign up for this event in the past, and it was because so many people died that the event had to be suspended. ”

"Then you ......," Alan asked, looking at her.

"Of course I'm going to participate. Cynthia replied without hesitation, looking determined to win, "I have enough confidence in myself." Naturally, I will not let go of this kind of opportunity, an opportunity that many people may not encounter in their lifetime, an opportunity to prove themselves. ”

"Uh-huh...... Quiet!" Cynthia wanted to continue to say more about what she knew, but Professor Stubourne suddenly spoke again: "You may have heard about this event before, after all, it is an original event created by the Krivari School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and it is directly recommended to the Magical Management Association, but in order to help you see this event thoroughly, I think I still need to tell you what it is, the rules, and the difference between this event and those previous competitions. ”

Everyone held their breath and listened.

"The difference?" Alan wondered.

Professor Stubone cleared his throat and continued: "This competition is divided into three parts, which are the written test, the wilderness survival test and the elimination round. Needless to say, the first round of the written test will be written and answered, and there is only one thing that needs to be told to you, that is, only the top 20 people in the final score can enter the second round. ”

Alan was stunned, this was different from the rules Cynthia said. Look at Cynthia, who was also staring at Professor Stubone with a frown.

"The focus is on the second and third rounds...... Professor Staebone added, "as you know, working in the Magical Management Society not only means that you are recognized by the highest authority on this land, but also that your future work may be accompanied by danger and death at all times. Magic empowers the good guys, but it also makes it easier for the bad guys to succeed in their purposes. So the second round of Wilderness Survival will simulate the most realistic battle scenarios, you know what I mean?"

Hearing this, the audience began to discuss again.

"In other words......" After letting the students discuss for a while, Professor Stubone suddenly raised his voice and said, "In the second round of the wilderness survival test, there will be no external factors to interfere with you, not even the invigilator, and the entire field arena will be a stage for you to play freely." All those who make it to the second round will participate in their personal capacity, but no one will interfere with any decision you make in the arena, whether it is an alliance or a battle, no matter what tricks or means you want to use, the only purpose is to get to the designated place without any problems. ”

When Alan heard this, he suddenly vaguely realized that this rule seemed to be a little strange. Although it is a wilderness survival test, you can't say anything without an invigilator...... And Professor Stubone has repeatedly emphasized that no one interferes with any decisions and actions they make, as if to imply something to them. He specifically pointed out that the people in it can compete in groups on their own, and since they only need to arrive at the designated place to qualify for the promotion, wouldn't it be good for all the people they meet to walk together, as if there is no reason to fight......

Most of the students seem to be discussing these things as well. Seeing this, Professor Stubone waved his wand and sketched a map in the air.

"Look here!" exclaimed Professor Stubourne, "this is the venue for the second and third rounds, known as the 'Forest of No Survivors'. ”

"The forest where no one survived?" the name alone scared Riel's scalp tingling and called him out.

The others were also in an uproar when they heard the name.

It is a circular area covered with forests, the size is not discernible, only twenty marked entrances can be seen, and the terrain inside is very complex, there are rivers, hills, and it seems that there are canyons.

"The forest is not far from here, less than five kilometers northeast of this castle. Professor Stubone gestured with his wand as he began to explain the rules, "As you can see, those who will advance to the second round will wait at these entrances by lottery, and will only be allowed to enter if they are allowed to enter. Once you're in the zone, the entrance will disappear and the entire forest will be covered in barriers, leaving the rest up to you...... The first eight to reach the final arena in the middle of the forest will qualify for the third round. ”

"Isn't that easy...... "Rare said, "as long as you get to the center of the arena faster than everyone else, it doesn't seem that difficult......

However, Alan understood it instantly, and at a glance saw through the mystery hidden in this map and these rules, and also understood why Professor Stubone had just specifically mentioned that there might be a battle in this forest.

"No...... This is really going to kill people...... "Alan carefully looked at the map and analyzed it carefully, "This wilderness survival test is not only the theoretical knowledge and magic proficiency you learn in textbooks, but also your ability to gather intelligence and make strategies...... Judging by the last constraint that only the first eight who arrive at the designated location can advance to the third round, if you meet anyone else in the forest, you will probably be an enemy...... That said, you're going to be prepared for a pair of nineteens, and of course, it's just the worst-case scenario......"

"One against nine!?" Riel was stunned when he heard this, "That's so unfair!"

"Fair?" Cynthia couldn't help but laugh when she heard the word, "What are you thinking, little ghost, this is a battle for your life, what are you still thinking about whether justice is fair?"

"Uh......" Riel was dumbfounded by her words.

"Not only that, but this seemingly simple rule is not so simple...... Allen frowned, "If you take a closer look at the terrain here, it is so complex, not only are there enemies, but there are also countless bewitching birds and beasts along the way to mislead you, attacking you, and it is almost impossible to reach the destination with the strength of one person...... In other words, this rule is implying that we should move forward as a group and cooperate with each other to achieve a win-win situation. ”

"Hey, you said earlier, in that case, why don't you just pull everyone you meet along the way and move forward together...... "Riel said.

"But it's not possible......," Allen said, "and there's only eight spots in the end, and if you treat everyone you meet along the way as teammates, at the last minute, they're going to turn on you in an instant to make sure you make the cut...... Unless exactly eight people arrive at the same destination, which is highly unlikely, given the issue of trust and personal interests. ”

"Then ......" Rare didn't know what to do.

"In other words, given the efficiency of the operation and the eventualities that may arise at the last minute, the best response is to go with two or three people, and it has to be a kind of ...... that trusts each other very much," Allen said, "and of course, if you can meet such teammates...... With so many entrances and so many contestants, the possibility is slim to none, which means that you are forcing you to team up with strangers and then turn against each ......other in the end."

"Is it so complicated...... "Riel scratched his hair, looking like his head was hurting, but the next second he suddenly laughed again: "Hey, why are we thinking about it so much, anyway, if we don't do our business, those who dare to participate in this kind of competition are either geniuses or seniors who are about to graduate, and I won't participate in ...... anyway"

"Well, that's right......" Alan nodded.

But as soon as they finished speaking, they heard Professor Stubourne's voice sound again: "Oh! yes, there's a new rule for you about this competition!"

"Huh?" everyone's attention shifted again.

However, this time Professor Stubone was not so happy, and he hesitated for a long time before he said, "Hmm...... This new rule is ...... Hmmm......"

Alan wondered for a moment, as it seemed to be difficult to say.

"That's the rule......" Professor Stubourne's face turned red before he muttered, "This competition...... Well...... Only people between the ages of fourteen and sixteen can participate, and they are all compulsory......"
