Chapter 52: Dangerous Experience
Ke Zhenxi has experienced many failures and setbacks in this strange world, and this time, he finally tasted victory. It was a great honour for him to beat Lida Lauge in the freshman training knockout round. Even more heartening to him was that he also won a bet with Delido Lawrence.
From that day on, the smug look on his face could hardly fade. He also clearly felt that the attitude of the people around him had changed dramatically. All the classmates and even the teacher saw him walking around, and the row where he sat and the one behind him was empty except for de Gaulle and Xinghua during the big classroom on Monday and Tuesday.
He felt that this was because his strong strength shocked everyone, after all, the master was lonely. But in fact, it is his reputation for farting, and everyone is afraid of being smoked by his fart.
Thinking of his own hardships, he remembered what his neighbor's grandfather once said when he was a child: "The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first work hard and work their muscles and bones." So, in the next two months, although Cranelle's spell training was very hard, and although the work in the cafeteria was tiring, he still felt that it was all worth it.
Finally, the date of the freshman training in April arrived, and 100 first-year freshmen who participated in the training gathered at the school gate. Before departure, they are grouped by lottery.
For the safety of the students, the training takes place in the outer area of the Europo Monster Protectorate. The people who move in this area are some weak monsters, and the powerful ones are forbidden to set foot in. In order to prevent conflicts between students, the school divided this area into 25 blocks with spell enchantments, and each group of students could only play in the area where their group was located. Just in case, the school will also issue each group leader a first-level magic device "one-way pager", which can be activated to call the teacher for help in times of emergency.
To further ensure the safety of the students, 25 students in the Fundamentals of Healing Spells class drew lots from a lottery box. 75 other students, drawn from another lottery box. This ensures that each group has students who can heal, which can greatly reduce the casualty rate of students.
During the draw, many students prayed that they would not be in a group with that "Martin Zhenxi", they all knew that this notorious classmate was selected by farting and would only lag behind when it came time to practice.
Therefore, when Ke Zhenxi drew the iron ball with the word "25" written on it from the lottery box, most of the students who had already drawn the lot were relieved, while the students who had not yet drawn the lot prayed in their hearts that they would not be placed in the 25th group.
Ke Zhenxi naturally didn't know anything about these things, and he walked to the plate with the word "25" printed on it with an iron ball with a relaxed face, waiting for his team members.
"Great, Zhenxi, we're in a group. Curranelle and de Gaulle walked to Ke Zhenxi's side with the iron ball.
"You are also 25 groups?" Ke Zhenxi couldn't believe it, this was too much of a coincidence, of course, he was very happy to be in a group with two good friends.
He looked around and said, "Who will be the fourth person?"
"It's me. "A blue-haired boy walked up.
Ke Zhenxi frowned, he knew this person, this person was one of Delido Lawrence's henchmen, Lida Lawrence.
De Gaulle saw that Ke Zhenxi's face was displeased, and it seemed that he was about to speak badly, so he hurriedly said: "Since we are in one group, it is fate, and we all work together to win the first place." ”
Hearing this, Lao Spy sneered, looked at the three people in the same group contemptuously, and did not speak.
"Hmph, first place, with this fart trash, let's be the first to the bottom. Delido Lawrence walked over with three crew members with a malicious smile on his face.
"You don't need to be there, I'll at least be ranked higher than you!" Ke Zhenxi said unceremoniously, and he found that Lawrence happened to be in a group with the three followers on weekdays. But he didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it was just a coincidence.
"Oh, do you want to make another bet?" said Lawrence, smiling confidently, looking in a very good mood.
"Beat you to bet, you didn't lose enough last time?" Ke Zhenxi scolded again, he didn't care about the other party's face at all.
The smile on Lawrence's face disappeared, his face turned pale, and he said fiercely: "Okay, I see if you can be so proud by then!"
At this time, the headmaster Dumb Ledo, who was standing in front of the team, began to speak again: "Okay students, everyone will sit in the carriage in groups in a while, and get to know each other more on the road. This time, the rules are the same as before, and each group of carriages will enter the reserve at different entrances. The groups shall operate between the demarcated areas and shall not cross the border. The training time is three days, and after three days, the quality and quantity of the demon cores obtained are comprehensively scored......"
“...... Let me stress again that we must live in peace......"
I don't know how long it took for Headmaster Dumbbe-Ledo's long speech to finally end.
The students moved stiffly, and the group leaders selected by each group also went to get the "one-way pager". The students who participated in the training also said goodbye to their usual classmates and blessed each other.
"Xinghua, you don't mind being in a group with Martin Zhenxi, don't care too much about the ranking, just don't get hurt. Kusada-Nami looked at Xinghua with sympathy, "Although you are a civilian now, after all, we have been studying together in the "Summoning" class for so long, and I still regard you as a friend. I also admit that there are scum among the aristocracy, and there are elites among the commoners. I am very much in favor of you dissociating yourself from the Delido family. ”
"Thank you, Nami. Xinghua's eyes were a little moist, she knew that although Nami was a little bitter and mean, she was worried that her eyes would not be bad, and after a few months of getting along, her attitude towards herself was getting better and better.
"Alas, although you have a hard life, I can see that you are excellent, and to be honest, the one surnamed Martin is not worthy of you. If you wish, I can introduce you to a few male classmates from aristocratic families."
When Xinghua heard this, he shook his head, his eyes showed a melancholy color, and said, "No, it's that I'm not worthy of him." You don't know him yet, and he's fine. ”
"Well, anyway, you're still in love, you won't listen to anything I say, in short, be careful when you practice. ”
"Well, be careful, too. ”
Nami smirked and said, "I'm lucky to be in a group with Pau Gasol, and I'm likely to finish first." ”
At this time, de Gaulle came over and said, "Yes, Paul's strength is definitely one of the best in the first year. By the way, I took the "Six Dragons Return to the Sun" class with Paul, and I have a good relationship with him, so I can let him take care of you more. ”
Nami looked at De Gaulle and said in an unkind tone, "You're that Casillos de Gaulle, aren't you?" ”
"How come? Xinghua is Ke Zhenxi's girlfriend, and I am a very principled person. De Gaulle did not get angry at Nami's bad attitude, but said earnestly, "By the way, I'll invite you to dinner after the experience. ’”
Ranked sixth among the school's eight cafeterias, with an average of five copper coins for a meal, it was a high-spending place for people like Charles de Gaulle and Ke Zhenxi, but for Nami, it was the place to eat.
Nami froze for a moment, glanced at de Gaulle in disgust, said, "Toad wants to eat swan meat?" and turned away.
"De Gaulle, you won't be ......" Xinghua looked at this good friend in surprise, but he didn't expect that De Gaulle, who usually looks like a good old man, would invite Nami to dinner.
De Gaulle scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "It's okay, it's only the first year, I still have four years to go, and it's not difficult to get ahead after learning spells." Let's go, let's get into the carriage. ”
On the other side, Ke Zhenxi, Noah Fontaine, and Ge Ying Xinglin were also communicating with each other, and they all came to receive the "one-way pager" on behalf of their respective groups.
Fang Dan, who had a big square face, patted Ke Zhenxi's shoulder and said, "Brother, come on, we are all classmates in the "Wine and Swordsmanship" class, and we have to give Teacher Tu Ge a long face this time." ”
"Well, got it. Ke Zhenxi was very dissatisfied with Turg-Nef, but he couldn't refute Noah Fontaine's face, and replied perfunctorily.
Xinglin, a purebred human who looked like a goblin, looked at Ke Zhenxi in a friendly manner and said, "Martin, I know there may be some misunderstanding between us, but we are all classmates, and I wish you good results." ”
"Well, you too. Ke Zhenxi smiled at Brother Ying-Xinglin, he didn't hold a grudge against the battle for the training quota in the "Goblin Throwing" class. He knows that this is everyone who has their own ability, and the capable are superior.
Xing Lin said politely to Fang Dan again: "Your "Wine Qi Swordsmanship" class is really out of the way this time, Teacher Tu Ge only has one place in his hand, and there are actually three of you who have been shortlisted for the freshman experience." ”
"Teacher Tu Ge's 'Wine Qi Sword Technique' is indeed infinitely mysterious. Of course, other teachers also contributed to it. By the way, what about Madoka?" Fontaine looked around for a moment, and saw Madoka in the distance, and he motioned for the other party to come over.
But Xiao Yuan glanced at Ke Zhenxi beside Fang Dan, just waved his hand and said hello, and did not come over.
Fang Dan knew that Xiao Yuan and Ke Zhenxi had some trouble, shook his head, and said to Ke Zhenxi: "When this experience is over, I will invite you and Xiao Yuan to drink." ”
"This ......" Ke Zhenxi hesitated a little, he was annoyed when he saw Xiaoyuan now, but he didn't know how to refuse Fontaine's kindness for a while.
At this moment, a soft voice came.
"Zhenxi, come here. Ke Lan'er in the teacher team beckoned to Ke Zhenxi.
"What's the matter, Mr. Ke. Ke Zhenxi hurriedly trotted over.
"You have to be careful, especially the Lida Worker with you, who is Lawrence's man. Ke Lan'er said with concern, her voice so gentle that a rough person like Ke Zhenxi had goosebumps.
"I know, don't worry, teacher, I'll be fine. Ke Zhenxi learned from De Gaulle that although there were occasional casualties in the freshman experience, they were a minority after all, and he would be fine as long as he was careful.
Ke Lan'er still looked very worried, and continued: "The teacher has important things to do in the past two days, and when he is done, he will go to your side immediately." Remember, don't come hard when you encounter danger, it's important to save your life. ”
"Look at what you said, teacher, I also have a certain combat effectiveness. Besides, doesn't the school stipulate that you can't go with you?"
In order to avoid suspicion, all the teachers in the first grade will not follow them to the Euro Yokai Sanctuary.
Ke Zhenxi felt that Ke Lan'er was making a bit of a fuss, they were only operating in the outermost part of the Euro Monster Sanctuary, and all they encountered were not strong monsters, and they didn't go deep into the depths.
"I'll sneak over, who knows, I'll go when I'm done, you have to be careful. Ke Lan'er's eyes were full of reluctance, she didn't want to put the man in front of her in danger, which was the only reason why she had questioned and opposed his participation in the freshman training.
Ke Zhenxi was a little uncomfortable, so he said perfunctorily: "Don't worry, teacher, teacher, I have to go, you just wait for the news of my victory." ”
With that, he ran as fast as if to escape.
Suddenly, a yellow light streaked across and landed on his head.
"What is it?" Ke Zhenxi was so frightened that he sat on the ground, took off the thing on his head and saw that it was a duck boy.
"You're not looking for food to eat at school, what are you doing here?" Ke Zhenxi always felt that this natal summoning beast was a burden or a shame for him.
"Coo-goo. The duck boy squeaked in frustration.
"Well, if you have to follow, I can't help it. Ke Zhenxi really used this natal summoning beast, if he had opened up the "summoning beast space", he would have put the duck cub in it a long time ago.
Thinking of this, he regretted that he could not open up the "storage space".
For freshman training, students are not allowed to bring magic weapons into the school, unless they have passed the review of special magic weapons. However, if a student has a spell "storage space", they can bring the spell inside. Because the "storage space" is also a manifestation of the strength of the spell, the school does not control it. Of course, it is not easy to master space spells, even if most of the students here have "storage space", the capacity is not large, and it is okay to install an apple or pear, but no matter how many things can be fitted.
Ke Zhenxi thought that if he could open up even a little space, Ke Lan'er would definitely have a powerful magic weapon with a small size, and in this way, his chances of winning the first six groups would be greatly increased.
Just as he was thinking about it, a pair of eyes full of murderous intent were staring at him.
"Martin Zhenxi, this time, I must let you die without a place to be buried!" Lawrence smiled sinisterly, gritting his teeth and looking at Ke Zhenxi, who was sitting on the ground not far away.
