Let's compromise." Phyllida suddenly said.
Avein and the other student turned to glance at Phyllida who walked out.
"Hmm, what do you have in mind?" Avein asked.
"We all will rush into the safe zone and the fastest to pick up a Gadget, that is considered the person's luck but every person would be entitled to only one Gadget. That is the rule." Phyllida smiled as she explained.
Grinning Avein said "Smart and strong, I'm beginning to like you. I accept then."
Then she turned and faced Lu Feng who seemed to have eaten something awful at the moment. He was currently weakened by the attack he had used earlier, he wasn't in his optimal condition right now.
If he forcefully circulated his blood, his injuries will continue to worsen.
Which means his speed was definitely affected so Phyllida's suggestion affected him a lot.
But there was nothing he could do or say to reject the suggestion since the other students in the rankings had accepted the suggestion, he had no other choice than to also accept it.
His raspy voice rang out as he said. "I also agree. " but deep inside him, he was cursing Phyllida for taking his spotlight and also for stealing his moment.
He stared viciously at her and he could have sworn he saw a look of scorn in her eyes as she stared with fake expression of worry at him and even with a slight smirk on her face.
He needed no one to tell him that he had been somehow played although he didn't even know how, it was true.
Which means he might not even get a share of the gadget that was currently in the safe zone.
His eyes turned incredibly red from anger as he breathed roughly.
Cough! Cough!!
His anger affected his injury and he immediately coughed out loud.
Smirking slightly, "When do you suggest that we start this plan of yours? " Avein asked Phyllida, not minding Lu Feng any longer. He was only a lamp that is about to burn out but she knew she would be burned if she tested the fire's lethality, that was why she had chosen not to provoke him yet but she obviously wouldn't give him any face.
Phyllida was quiet For a while, obviously thinking and then after a while she said. "In order to maintain fairness, we would start immediately at the first chirping noise of a cricket. We just have to keep silent and repress our brainwaves." Phyllida explained.
Nodding her head in approval "That is also good, brilliant idea. In order to maintain fairness. " Avein clapped in approval.
She could see why Phyllida had come up with a plan like this.
If they had used a timer to determine the start if the competition, there would obviously be people who would cheat.
Amongst them are people with technique that focuses on speed, they would have carefully timed the exact moment to burst out if they had used a timer for it.
And amongst the students were also people with techniques that charges up their momentum with time, the longer that charged it for, the faster or stronger they would become but such techniques hadms thuer limits. As one could only charge for at most 10secinds.
But still, that would be considered cheatung to other students who are stronger. So something as unexpected as a crickets chirp was definitely a great idea as it would be unexpected and surprising.
Janeane leaned closer to Lu Feng as she whispered to his ears "I will make sure to pick up the best Gadget for your sake." Lu Feng merely grunted but didn't say anything.
The other students also nodded their heads.
Sturm only grunted. Although he was fast, his burst speed was only considered normal he obviously wouldn't get any gadget except he snatched then from others who has them.
The people who had the strength to partake in this specific rush hour competition were those who are listed in the rankings and Avein together with the people with her whose strength was not a single but inferior to those in the rankings.
Some other students who were watching the show also wished to partake, so as to try their luck but it was obvious that it would be all for nothing.
All the students kept quiet and reined in their brainwaves. It was as though there was no one in the surrounding area.
Brainwaves can be simply described as aura.
A few millennium ago, a genius figure, Ainsburg Clinton explained why auras simply means brainwaves.
He explained that every being living, had the ability to read others brainwave or lingering brainwaves.
The fight from two lovers would create a tense atmosphere which is better referred to as a clash between brainwaves which would cause the tense atmosphere.
If another person was to submerge himself between then at that moment, his or her brainwave would read unconsciously read the brainwaves present in that moment and would subconsciously give meaning to that situation.
That is how one would unconsciously come to the conclusion that thw atmosphere was somehow different.
Now there are some people who completly ignore such things.
Reigning in their brainwaves, the students kept quiet as they waited for the first chirping of a cricket.

Coming out from ground, a fake stone mountain swiftly opened up, revealing David who was within.
David tutted to himself. He had completely ignored the fake rock mountain when he was searching for an entrance earlier.
'Well, it's all good now. It's time to check out the books I got from the Underground office.' David opened his interface as he walked out of the elevator.
Suddenly, he looked up only to see five people in the hall with sinister expressions on their faces as they were about to remove the final garment of a girl who was busy struggling with them.
Startled, the five of them looked up only to see the doors of the fake mountain closing.
