Hey did you see the baldy who was covered in plate armor and was tall as a fort? Hes the examiner for you newbies. If we were to compare it to the official chivalric order his abilities would be comparable to a golden knight The teenagers that are down below are the same as you theyre all newborns that just enrolled here. As he stood near the iron fence Lin Tuo pointed downwards and introduced the people for Ji Bai.
This is your first exam so dont panic and relax. Besides even if you panic you still wouldnt be able to escape the fate of being beaten up. While speaking up to this point Lin Tuo maliciously laughed as he observed for any notable changes in Ji Bais expression. What he got in return was disappointment as Ji Bais face stayed expressionless the entire time.
Has he been frightened speechless?
Let me give you some advice. The baldie instructors name is Morton hes quite famous for his hot temper. Hes the type of guy that would beat you to death as long as youre still breathing dont expect him to show you any mercy at all. In this exam you can prepare your own weapon and armor. Obviously speaking you can also choose to use the interim equipment thats provided. Lin Tuo smiled as he pointed at the rusty and broken scraps of metal on the table.
From the state of the equipment alone Ji Bai could easily see why no one was willing to use them.
Its fine just hand me a sword. However Ji Bai wasnt particularly fussy anyways. He walked up to the table and conveniently picked up a long sword whose sharp edge was severely dulled.
I suggest that you should at least wear some armor. Even though the corrosion has severely impacted their protective abilities they can still offer a bit of protection when the blows hit your body. Upon seeing Ji Bai preparing to go down the ladder with just a sword on his hand Lin Tuo knitted his eyebrows and explained.
No theres no need to. This will do as long as he doesnt hit me. Ji Bai moved his vision to assess the lofty silhouette that was exuding an extreme pressure. I just need to knock this guy out right?
Huh? For a split moment there Lin Tuo felt that Ji Bai was an absolute idi*t.
What are you talking about? Knock him out?! Its good that youre a confident young man! However dont bite off more than you can chew! Your task is only to hold on for 3 minutes thats all! Do you see the hourglass on the judges table? Youll pass once all of the sand on the top part has run dry.
Oh. I see now Will he be humiliated if I strike him down while everyones watching? Ji Bai asked seriously after a moment of contemplation.
Are you still asleep youngster? There hasnt been any lack of people asking these questions in the past. Yet in the end all of them were unable to even speak. Do you know why?
Alright I got it. If those are the only rules here Ill be going down first then. Ji Bai nodded his head. With his longsword hanging down his back he slid down the ladder.
Will Mister Ji Bai be in trouble? Nya~ Keer worriedly looked at Ji Bais faint silhouette entering the pit and then she looked at the bald knight whose tall and sturdy build was amazingly disproportionate when compared to Ji Bais body.
Relax our treatment and rescue facilities are well equipped our medical staff is also experienced. We also provide a one-stop service when it comes to post-death arrangements it includes casket saddles mortuary and crematorium services. Thats why theres no need to worry at all. Lin Tuo indifferently explained as he looked at the blockhead that had already entered the arena.
Huh? Nyaa? Nyaa? Nyaa~?!!
In the center of the arena the large heavy-plated man stood upright and still he was carrying his long axe. While stretching his neck slightly his deep gaze landed on the group of probationary students not too far away from him. They all had varied expressions on their faces.
Although a large portion of people was frightened by the complete lack of information about their exami- enemy this also included the amount of pressure brought about on their first battle only a small portion of them carried a faint air of haughtiness; This small portion had an insufferably arrogant attitude that disapproved everyone around them.
It doesnt matter. Seeing as theyre all fresh newcomers its quite expected that everyone is nervous and harboring thoughts of wanting to give up. They should be able to adapt after a few blows. As for those that think theyre hotshots mhm I have to damp down their spirits. Just a good beating will do very well. Educating newcomers was something that Morton loved the most.
Instructor Morton you can begin. On the judges table a young man gently smiled at Morton. He was dressed in casual attire with a fair white skin that shouldve belonged to a female rather than a man.
Understood. Morton nodded his head. With this word he formally put on his knights helmet hanging on his back and pulled out his long-ax that was buried somewhat in the sand. In the process of doing so a dust cloud spanning half a meter tall was created.
Please allow my humble self to repeat the rules of this match. In this exam combatants who still retain their combat ability after three minutes will be considered to have passed. Even if you dont pass the combat exam you dont need to worry! Theres still a written examination that constitutes a larger weightage. It will be alright as long as everyone displays their abilities to the fullest. The teenager who was seated on the judges table gave a gentle and amiable smile.
In accordance with this hourglass I shall now announce the start of this examination .
The newcomers looked at each other with dismay none were willing to go up to the front and lead the attack.
Through the seams of his helmet Morton was observing the group of newcomers as an indiscernible smirk appeared on his face. Fear and cowardice had overtaken them as they were all waiting for someone else to go up and test the waters.
There was no way he was going to wait for the newcomers to adjust to their most comfortable states and play ludo to decide on their advancing order. In his eyes he had never felt a need to probe them; Relentless attacking while someone was on the run had always been his favorite strategy.
Boom! On the battlefield the metal tin knight who was armed to the teeth had made his move. With every step he made the floor of the arena would slightly tremble. Yet despite wearing such a clumsy full-body armor plate Mortons actions were rather agile. Like a rapidly moving fort his imposing aura had already thrown these inexperienced knights into confusion. Their formations were now in complete disorder only a few of them were steadily standing their ground.
Wah! Wah! Auuuu! The recruits that were lined in front saw the quickly moving fort head towards them while carrying a dust cloud in its wake. They were extremely frightened to the point that they were about to call for their own parents. Just when they were thinking of retreating a crash sound resounded. Upon feeling that their chest had collided against an approaching hilltop their muscles and bones in their bodies had shattered into fragments. They were knocked flying as they revealed the whites in their eyes and fainted.
Oh dear. Theyve already started fighting? Am I late? Ji Bai who had just slid down the ladders arrived just in time to see this scene unfold. After seeing how chaotic the scene was currently there was no one around the area that noticed him.
Uhmm How should I describe this spectacle? Its like a bowling bowl thats charging around violently in an unstoppable manner continuously knocking out the bowling pins that are scattered around.
Everyone! Assemble into a group formation! Lets group together and attack properly! We still have a chance of winning this! After withstanding the first round of collision one of the probationary recruits with superior quality gear shouted out.
Youre right! Charge!
They quickly followed his lead it was as if the crowd had found their backbone. While dragging the broken armor on their bodies they picked up their weapons and moved onwards.
Hm theyve learned how to use human wave attacks?
Morton faintly smiled. With the bending of his body his long-ax swept past the floor like a whip. Following the sounds of metal cracking three newcomers who served as the vanguard of the attack were ruthlessly hit by the attack.
Haa! Morton gripped his ax with his backhand like a broom. As if he was sweeping away garbage he brushed the three newcomers sending them flying to the side.
Ahhhhh! A newcomer gave a loud shout in order to boost his courage. His sword had already collided against the handle of the ax this caused his arm to turn numb from the rebounding force. When he came back to his senses he had already been hooked onto the tip of Mortons ax and thrown into the air like a rugby ball this caused him to knock against the heaps of knights that were charging in.
