BXBX NOVEL Chapter 324 Part One: Virtual Battlefield
Right after looking at her, I retracted my gaze. Don\'t know what happened? But it doesn\'t concern me.
Swish!
All of sudden, Mentor Lion appeared out of nowhere. He is looking at a student with an amusing smile on his face.
"Well, today. All of you are going to participate in a virtual battlefield. The virtual battlefield is different from the previous assessment."
"The difficulties were many times higher. But if you perform well, then you have a good chance to improve your special class rank," Mentor Lion said with a smile.
Gasp
Right after that, everyone gasped. All of them are frustrated after the last assessment. Especially the five level-4 wizards from different Halls. They don\'t like to be overtaken by the Outer House wizard.
So this virtual battlefield assessment rekindled hope in their heart.
Lion was satisfied by seeing everyone\'s reaction. This is what he wants to see. So that the talented seeds never give up.
A fighting intent rose in Lara White\'s heart. Now she feels this is the best opportunity to show the difference between real talent and mediocre talent.
Now she is a level-4 wizard, it\'s difficult for Vincent to keep the same pace as her.
At the same, seeing the reactions of these people. I don\'t know what to say. Because the ending will be no different from the previous assessment.
I\'ll win this assessment as well. My lips bent slightly and expectations rose in my heart. Last time, my knowledge was widened after fighting Evil corpses and knights.
This time I\'m curious to know. What is the same thing?
In the next second, the mentor lion leads everyone toward the pod chamber. The process is similar but the content of the assessment is different this time.
After arriving in the room, Lion turned towards Vincent Carey. He said, "Vincent, you are number one in class. So you should be entering first." After saying that he pointed his finger at the first pod chamber.
Seeing that everyone\'s eyes flickered with envy and hatred. Only Lara White remained indifferent among those people. Some even openly supported Lara White against Vincent Carey.
Because everyone knows about her recent breakthrough. If she wins, it\'s much more face-saving for the Inner House. So nobody wants Vincent Carey to perform well in this assessment.
After hearing the mentor\'s words, I gladly took initiative to enter the pod chamber. I can\'t imagine their reactions when I finish the assessment before everyone.
Paul from the elemental hall is looking at the scene without any expression on his face. He had already conveyed to his family about Vincent Carey.
But the family is divided on this issue. The dale family already forged hatred with Vincent Carey. Nobody is sure whether he will retaliate or not.
So the family is maintaining a wait-and-watch attitude now. But he is different no matter what he won\'t cross paths with Vincent Carey.
Lion instructed everyone to enter the pod chamber according to special class ranks.
At the same time, laying down in the pod chamber. I swiftly connected the helmet and followed the instructions to enter the Virtual BattleField.
Swish!
I appeared in an open vast plain. Seeing that, my eyes gleamed with a twinkle."What kind of assessment is this?" I mumbled under my breath.
[First Order Monster Tide]
I heard a mechanical instruction. Right after that, a look of realization dawned upon me. This assessment is different from the previous one. Right now, it\'s one vs many.
My mouth curved into an arc. I see a wave of monsters rushing toward me. This challenge is interesting. I want to see how many monsters are in this round.
Swish!
Seeing the monsters rushing towards me, I disappeared from the spot and took initiative to attack them.
In a blink of an eye, I arrived before the monsters.
"Gravity Field," I uttered.
The next second, a tremendous gravitational force appears all of a sudden.
Pfff
Monsters within the field turned into blood mist the next second. In a blink of an eye, more than 100 monsters were wiped out completely.
A few seconds later,
[Round 1: Cleared]
[Round 2 starts in 60 seconds.]
[Whether to proceed or not: Say(Y/N)]
Again, the mechanical instruction came. This time there is one minute to catch a breath. Shaking my head, I waited for the seconds to be over.
One minute later,
[Second Order Monster Tide]
The environment didn\'t change except for the order of the monsters. The Monster Tide consists of an army of different monsters. I didn\'t bother to look at first.
But now I see the monster tide is not simple. It\'s like waging a war. The monster doesn\'t seem to be attacking blindly either.
My eyes flickered with a slight glint.
"Gravity Field," I uttered
All the monsters turned stiff under the gravitational force. The monsters turned into blood mist in a blink of an eye.
I cast the spells again to eliminate the remaining monsters. This time more than 200 Second Order Monsters died within seconds.
[Round 2: Cleared]
[Round 3 starts in 60 seconds.]
[Whether to proceed or not: Say(Y/N)]
...
Outside,
Lion is monitoring the screen as usual. But he is more interested in seeing Vincent Carey\'s progress. Round 1 & Round 2 were cleared in a couple of seconds.
The speed is no less than that of Lara White. Which shows similar progress on the display screen. Since Lara is now a Level-4 wizard.
Lion feels that Vincent will face a tough challenge to maintain the status quo. So he would like to see what is the bottom line of that kid.
He believes Vincent will stop at round 3. If there is one versus another, then there will be no problem for Vincent to fight across the ranks.
But the current assessment is different. Even for a Sub-Taboo wizard, it is difficult to fight across ranks against many monsters.
He knows there is so much outside noise surrounding that kid. But the special training has its purpose. And the management won\'t sit and watch if anyone dares to disturb the seed wizards.
Vincent\'s top rank will provide him with indirect protection. So this assessment is very important to him.
Several minutes later,
Creak
Many wizards exited the pod chamber. Most of them were eliminated in the first round itself due to their lower strength.
Mentor Lion looked at them with an indifferent gaze. He had expected them to stick much longer. But unfortunately, many of these kids don\'t have prior battle experience.
At the same time, inside the virtual battlefield.
[Third Order Monster Tide]
Looking at the sea of monsters coming towards her. Lara White raised her hand to cast the spell.
"Ice tornado," She uttered
The next second, a wisp of magic power released from her finger. In a couple of seconds, the small wisp of magic transforms into a terrible tornado. Which then smashes the sea of monsters within seconds.
The tornado not only destroyed the monster\'s tide but also caused damage to the landscape.
But all of this happened within a minute.
Her one spell was enough to take care of the monster\'s tide. She thinks Vincent\'s gravity won\'t be able to do this. She is aware of gravity magic\'s advantages and disadvantages.
But her destruction range is wider than gravity magic. Suddenly, a bright smile blossomed on her face. With this speed, she will get first place in this assessment.
...
Inside,
[Round 3: Cleared]
[Round 4 starts in 60 seconds.]
[Whether to proceed or not: Say(Y/N)]
After cleaning the monsters, I stood cross-armed. With each round, not only the order of the monsters was increasing but also their number.
I remember I used to run away from second-order monsters in the wilderness a year ago. But here I\'m slaughtering these monsters like killing chickens and pigs.
[Fourth Order Monster Tide]
Swish,
After a minute, a new monster\'s tide appeared.
Seeing that, a quick glint flashed in my eyes. Right now everyone knows that I\'m a level-2 wizard and I can fight across two ranks above me.
But this assessment will further expose my strength. Senior Gilbert has warned me not to go outside before becoming the Inner House Wizard.
Various thoughts appeared in my mind. I will reach level 3 in a few days. So clearing this round won\'t make much noise later. A firm determination appeared in my eyes.
As for round 5? I shook my head. Round 5 is comparable to core wizards. An Inner House wizard clearing a round 5 won\'t attract much attention.
But for a level-2 wizard to clear round 5. It will alarm the entire academy. I calmed down my impulse. I want to go all out. Yet I know it\'s better to be low-key for a while.
I\'m yet to understand the dangers inside the academy. So it is wise to expose strength after becoming an Inner House member.
The next second, I raised my hand to cast spells. A couple of seconds later, I see the entire battlefield is filled with broken corpses.
[Round 4: Cleared]
[Round 5 starts in 60 seconds.]
[Whether to proceed or not: Say(Y/N)]
I said, "Yes"
The next second, I exited the virtual battlefield.
