Just knowing who their examiner was would be a help to her.
"Okay, time to start the exam."
Along with Theresa's gentle voice, the door to the void opened in front of the two of them in front of the artificial shadow world startup terminal.
But this time, a countdown was displayed on the Void Gate.
Obviously candidates need to enter on time.
Without asking any questions, Lanqi followed Hyperion into the door to the void.
Although he didn't know who Firat was, it seemed that Hyperion knew, so he could just ask her later.
Inside the Gate of Void.
It was just like last time, a pitch-black space where nothing could be seen clearly.
The surroundings became much quieter than the atrium on the seventh floor, as if all sounds were blocked out.
The next second, a brilliant light lit up, and he seemed to be in a different dimension like a time tunnel.
Prompt characters appeared in front of my eyes at the same time.
[Shadow World: Infinite Phantom Canyon]
[Level: Level 2]
[The number of challengers is 2]
[Welcome to Phantom Canyon, this map was developed by the Magic Engineering Institute and is a special shadow world for combat training. 】
[The current exam setting is that the main storyline of the Shadow World fails and the challenger is in a desperate situation. ]
[You will face a fourth-level hunter played by the examiner in a random map. The examiner prohibits the use of magic cards, but will use the spells that he or she has mastered that are appropriate to the level.]
[There is no danger to life in the artificial shadow world. ]
[After failing in the Shadow World or the candidate dies, they will be automatically ejected from the Shadow World. ]
[Candidates may also choose to exit the Shadow World and be judged as a failure. ]
[Note: Based on the evaluation of Candidate 001 Lanci Wilford and Candidate 002 Hyperion Aransal in the previous round of assessment, the difficulty of this exam will be adjusted adaptively.]
[Note: The starting distance with the stalker is shortened to 1/3.]
[Note: The hunter rank limit is adjusted to rank 5.]
[Task objective: Please cooperate and survive until the time limit is over. ]
【Time remaining: 29 minutes and 59 seconds. 】
[The map for this assessment is: Eleven Plains. ]
When the light came on fully, they saw that the two of them were standing on a vast grassland. The sun shone on every inch of the land, warm and bright.
The sky in the distance is as blue as a crystal. A few white clouds are floating slowly in the breeze. The green grass on the grassland is dancing in the wind, full of vitality, like an emerald sea.
"How high is your rating?"
When Hyperion saw the "1/3 starting distance" and "fifth-level hunter", she couldn't help but ask Lanqi.
But when she finally saw that the random terrain was "plain".
She finally couldn't hold it anymore.
I was even so angry that I wanted to laugh.
"I don't know. Didn't they say that the scoring will be done manually this time? It hasn't been announced yet. And is the 'Plains' map really not just for show effects?"
Even Lanqi was stunned.
For a moment, he couldn't tell whether someone had tampered with the randomness, or their luck was really bad, or the person in the Magic Engineering Institute who designed this [Infinite Phantom Canyon] was seriously ill.
He had heard that the students in the Magic Engineering Department of this school were not normal people.
Now we can see some signs of this.
Generally speaking.
These three negative effects are all acceptable separately.
But when they are all added together, that nature changes.
You should know that most of the admission candidates are only at the second level.
For example, Lanqi, who just reached the second level not long ago.
There are only a few third-level candidates like Hyperion.
however.
No matter they are level two or level three, they are no match for level five enemies!
If you are caught up, the test is over.
In this endless plain terrain and shortened distance, there was no possibility for them to pull.
"Ha ha……"
Hyperion was about to say something, but then felt that there was no point in saying anything.
This group of noble gentlemen who "care about face" and "have no shame" at the same time, their every move in a high-sounding manner seems particularly ridiculous.
Ever since the disappearance of Duke Alansal, she began to be deeply involved in murderous plots and was framed with false charges. She couldn't tell who wanted to help her and who wanted to harm her.
Finally, she found some clues about her father's disappearance and discovered a glimmer of hope.
But it also touched upon something deeper.
Even she herself could feel that soon, she would die inexplicably in the royal capital.
The only hope now was that she could successfully enroll in school according to the last arrangement her father made for her before he disappeared.
With the protection of Loren, the high priest of the goddess of fate, no one dared to commit a crime in the Sages' Court.
however.
Those people who can't afford to play.
After all, she would not be able to join Ikerit Academy as she wished.
"You won't run?"
Hyperion turned her head, raised her eyes slightly, and asked.
She found that Lanqi beside her also had no intention of starting to flee in panic.
"If you give up the exam now, you will suffer less."
"Can not be done."
Lan Qi said helplessly.
"Why not?"
Hyperion gave a slightly mocking smile.
Unlike her, whose heart has been twisted by anger and murderous desire and is about to reach the end of her rope.
The boy seemed to have no reason to have to pass the test.
Lanqi spread his hands and replied:
"If I fail the test, my dad will scold me when I get home."
"..."
Hyperion thought Lanci was joking.
But look closely.
She also discovered that Lanqi had been like this from beginning to end.
Although he occasionally showed surprise or confusion.
But deep down inside, there was never any ripple.
It’s as if this person’s heart rate is always at the state of drinking afternoon tea.
Chapter 23 Ranchi's logic is clear
The main building of Sage Hall, the top floor conference room.
While the third round of assessments was going on today, the teachers of the Sage Academy started their meeting as before.
In addition to the magic screen in the center, the simple white tone of the surrounding walls perfectly blends with the smooth marble floor.
Meanwhile, the first exam was being watched in real time, with Lanci and Hyperion as candidates and Firat as the examiner.
"Their luck..."
"These two candidates, don't they want to challenge Firat?"
The teachers in the conference room were either silent or made a few words of discussion from time to time.
In the test questions of [Infinite Phantom Canyon].
If you are unable to escape for the full 30 minutes, then the only option is to face the examiner head-on.
Sometimes there are indeed confident and strong students who choose to directly intercept the examiner.
however.
If a full team of candidates at the third level is formed, there is still hope that they can hold off the examiners who are limited to the fourth level for a period of time.
But all the teachers sitting in the conference room understood.
The examiner of this exam, Firat Shavenson, is very strong himself.
He is a cautious and ruthless battlefield mage.
Even if Firat doesn't use magic cards, he still has many extremely lethal spells and can easily defeat officers of the kingdom's regular troops of the same level.
To put it another way, even without talking about rank, Firat's many years of rich combat experience alone is enough to crush the two freshmen.
