Chapter 225 Green Level Task
Facing Niya-Flame's questioning, Grace-Eva still just lightly replied, then turned her gaze to Jia Na.
"Do you agree?"
"I agree, Professor."
Actually, Jia Na's original answer in her heart was no.
Jia Na would intentionally show her excellence to the Professors of various subjects during regular classes to win the academy's resource allocation towards her.
However, Jia Na had now received various promises from Anthony-Black Sparrow, achieving the goal of "resource allocation".
So, she only needed to continue maintaining her original excellent persona and no longer needed to constantly show off.
After all, for Jia Na, "constantly showing herself" was also a rather tiring thing; it was quite good to be able to occasionally slack off.
However, just as Jia Na was preparing to "slack off," Grace-Eva directly threw a "one versus four" challenge at Jia Na.
Moreover, after posing the question, she privately transmitted a message to Jia Na, telling her that this time she must show her true strength, words to that effect.
In response, so as not to let down Grace-Eva's "good intentions," Jia Na still accepted this challenge and prepared to use this opportunity to assess her own strength.
If she won, Jia Na would truly establish her "unreachable" strength status in the hearts of same-level apprentices in the entire second and even third year.
But if she lost, it didn't matter. After all, the matter of "one versus four" itself was a very reasonable thing where "losing wouldn't be laughed at."
On the other side, unlike Niya-Flame's various forms of defiance, Bell-Moonshadow, Maluo-Haige, and Andre-Green were surprisingly calm about Grace-Eva's decision and didn't find it difficult to accept.
"Come up, all of you."
Hearing this, the few people didn't hesitate either and successively walked onto the Combat Training Ground.
And as Jia Na walked onto the Combat Training Ground, Grace-Eva's transmitted voice was heard in her ear once again.
"Don't disappoint me."
Turning her head, Jia Na looked at Grace-Eva, who was also looking at her from outside the Combat Training Ground. Jia Na, who had already readjusted her mindset, smiled and nodded in response.
"The feeling of being seen through... is indeed very uncomfortable."
The matter of Jia Na successfully comprehending a 【Law Fragment】 was no longer a secret in the eyes of all Formal Wizards.
After all, the "Law aura" occasionally leaked from her body naturally couldn't escape the eyes of Formal Wizards. When Jia Na fought Vivian in the previous match, she didn't use any power from the 【Law Fragment】 throughout the entire process - but in the eyes of Grace-Eva, who always advocated for showing one's edge, this was an act of concealing her strength.
Therefore, Grace-Eva wanted to use the opportunity of four people challenging Jia Na simultaneously to properly test what Jia Na's true strength level was like - and at the same time, what level it was compared to her former self.
As Turin's most dazzling genius, Grace-Eva was also curious about the "genius" that Anthony-Black Sparrow had repeatedly praised.
After all, there was a time when she was the "genius" most recognized by Anthony-Black Sparrow.
Crack—
The few people had just stood still and hadn't even had time to speak when the Combat Training Ground, which was originally a rocky terrain,
directly broke through the soil and grew large areas of trees.
In a short while, the landscape changed dramatically, and the entire Combat Training Ground instantly turned into a sea of forest.
"Is the randomly selected venue this time a forest—"
Looking thoughtfully at the surrounding terrain, which was extremely advantageous for Jia Na, who possessed the Zhiwu Qinhe talent, her gaze couldn't help but turn towards Grace-Eva once again.
"Perhaps, it wasn't necessarily random."
Although Grace-Eva was curious about Jia Na's true strength, given that she didn't know which 【Law Fragment】 the other party had mastered, she still had to help Jia Na with the venue selection.
After all, not all 【law fragments】 were suitable for combat - just like the 【Steam】 Law mastered by the Son of Steam, Wali-Dinger, it wasn't considered a Law with high combat power.
Or, the 【Gourmet】 Law mastered by Mary-Margaret, even though it possessed excellent auxiliary abilities, had no direct contribution in actual combat.
Therefore, Mary-Margaret, who was known as "Turin's most dazzling genius" alongside Grace-Eva back then, her fame among apprentices of the same level was not as resounding as Grace-Eva's at that time.
After all, Mary-Margaret, who had mastered the 【Gourmet Law Fragment】 in advance during the apprentice stage, usually just liked to stay in her dormitory researching magical food and had no other social activities.
Grace-Eva, on the other hand, who had mastered the 【Blood Law Fragment】, was just the opposite. Not only did she dominate in that year's Three-School Joint Examination, but she also made a formidable name for herself in the Mercenary Guild - it could be said that she was quite high-profile.
Therefore, while probing Jia Na's true strength, and to prevent Jia Na's 【Law Fragment】 from being unsuitable for combat like Mary-Margaret's, Grace-Eva also preemptively transformed the Combat Training Ground into a "forest venue" more suitable for Jia Na.
Doing this would at least allow Jia Na to hold on for a longer time when clearly outmatched - until the challenge time ended and a draw was reached.
"Jia Na, do you want to summon your contracted creature in advance—"
"What? You're thinking of being a gentleman now?"
Before Maluo-Haige could finish speaking, Niya-Flame, who was beside him, directly interrupted him with a sarcastic tone. She then turned her head and looked at Jia Na not far away with a complicated expression.
"Miss Jia Na, before the formal match, may I ask you something - why did you agree to Professor Eva's suggestion and accept the challenge from the four of us simultaneously?"
Hearing Niya-Flame's question, Bell-Moonshadow and Andre-Green, who hadn't spoken throughout the entire process,
also successively turned their gazes towards Jia Na, waiting for her answer.
"Sorry, I can't answer you right now."
Jia Na, who could clearly hear the aggrieved emotion in Niya-Flame's words, did not choose to directly answer the question.
Whether it was Grace-Eva's private transmitted request or Jia Na wanting to verify her own strength, no matter which reason was stated, the other party might not necessarily accept it.
Nothing speaks louder than fists; instead of dwelling on it here, it's better to just have a fight. Just as Jia Na was waiting for the opportunity to act, the task notification sound in her ear rang out again at the right time.
