Magic!

It turns out that this year's actual combat assessment is like this. It is not just about extraordinary abilities for self-combat, but also tests students' comprehensive application of their own abilities. Even if they don't defeat any enemies, they can pass the level as long as they can hide themselves well.

It’s just that the college students who serve as examiners may have even weirder abilities to counterattack!

If you want to be able to protect your sapphire, the registration fee for this competition will be saved.

After roughly understanding the requirements and procedures of the exam, Russell put the sapphire into his pocket.

Although he only knew that the hunters were students of the Higher Education Academy, he did not mention the specific grades. But Russell believes Hunter should only be a third-year student.

After all, there are only a few fourth-year experts in colleges and universities, and the gap between them and second-year students is really huge. It would be really unfair if a fourth grader could act as a hunter.

Well, if that fourth grader was an arctic wolf...well, that wouldn't be fair to the arctic wolf...Russell's mind wandered.

After hearing that they could exchange for registration fees, each candidate also discussed happily:

"No wonder the registration fee is so high. It turns out that as long as you pass the exam, you can get the registration fee back."

"If you fail to pass the level, not only will you have to repeat the grade for another year, but the 10 college gold coins will also be gone."

Professor Onyx, who was wearing red clothes and gold-rimmed glasses, frowned slightly as he listened to the laughter of the candidates.

She stepped forward and said in a serious tone:

"Dear candidates participating in the competition, I want to warn you in advance. Don't think that you are the top academics in the junior college and you are sure to pass this practical assessment.

"What you are facing are not ordinary people in the first and second years of junior high school, but super geniuses who can enter the high school, top extraordinary people who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the teachers of the college. Never use common sense to speculate on them!

"In previous years' practical examinations, there have been many instances where all candidates failed and no one passed."

All candidates failed!

Such a cruel fact made many candidates who were still laughing have a heavy look on their faces.

Many of Clara's tentacles drooped, and dozens of eyes were equally filled with worry and anxiety.

But there are still many people who are confident.

Subway seemed eager to give it a try. He held the magical brush in one hand and the enchanted Desert Eagle in the other. He couldn't wait.

Mr. Duncan, the principal, also rolled up his sleeves and geared up, waiting for the moment to show off his talents.

Russell went through the rules in his mind and immediately thought of a question. He raised his hand and asked:

"If my sapphire is taken away by a hunter, and I get it back before 5 pm tomorrow, will it count as clearing the level?"

Professor Black Amber was obviously stunned for a moment, immediately recalled the details of the rules, and replied:

"Yes, this can be considered as passing the test. But it is not easy to snatch the sapphire back from the hunter."

"Then if the sapphire I snatch back is not my original one, is it considered a clearance?" Russell asked, "For example, I may have been robbed of the sapphire by one hunter, but snatched it from another hunter. Sapphire. Apparently the other hunter's sapphire came from another candidate."

What are these problems? You are indeed a fool, Russell... Professor Black Amber couldn't help but curse.

The elegant black cat coughed twice and tried hard to recall the details in the rule book:

"This can be considered as passing the test. In principle, you only need to have a sapphire in your hand when the exam ends at 5pm tomorrow."

"Wait a moment, I have another question." Russell's questioning showed no sign of stopping. "If a candidate's sapphire is taken away, can he attack other candidates to obtain sapphires?"

Professor Black Amber said seriously:

"Of course not. The camps of hunters and prey are fixed. Deliberately attacking other candidates is a violation and you will receive a warning from us."

"What if..." Russell was about to ask a question when Professor Black Amber immediately added:

"No candidate can take the initiative to give his sapphire to other candidates, give up his own opportunity to pass the test, and let others pass the test."

"Okay, I understand." Russell nodded, and then asked: "One sapphire can be exchanged for 10 college gold coins after the exam, right? What if..."

Before Russell asked the next question, Agate quickly seized the moment and announced loudly:

"I now declare,

"The forest hunting competition has officially begun!"

After the words fell, several teachers, including Agate and Black Amber, floated up and flew into the air to observe the progress of the exam from above.

Russell looked left and right, his eyes scanning among the candidates.

Among the approximately 30 candidates, a few were a little overwhelmed and were wandering in circles; a few dispersed and walked away, seemingly wanting to hide in the depths of the forest until the exam time was over; there were also some candidates who were relatively close to each other, sitting in twos and threes. The three of them got together and seemed to want to form a team.

What is obvious is that there is no restriction on team formation for this actual combat assessment.

When facing the hunters from the high school, the second-year students who formed the team will undoubtedly have stronger resistance!

Duncan seemed to have no intention of forming a team with anyone. After walking around in circles for a few times, he left the scene and disappeared deep into the dense forest.

Russell did not hesitate and walked straight to Subway and Clara:

"We form a team and look after each other to prevent being raided by hunters from the High Court!"

Although Russell may be the second strongest of all the contestants, he is not careless at all.

The rules of this forest hunting competition test not only strength, but also brains and coping abilities.

Russell knew that he lacked the fighting experience with most of the third-year professional experts, and he might capsize in the gutter if he was not careful!

"No problem," Subway patted his chest, raised the magic pen in his hand, and drew a few imaginary strokes in the air, dragging out illusory ink marks:

"Russell, I know you are already a strong third-year player, but don't underestimate me.

"I have consulted with my family elders many times over the past six months and learned a series of powerful painting summoning techniques. I can summon many powerful demons and monsters. I don't usually have the chance to use them, but now I finally have the opportunity to show off my skills!"

Russell nodded slightly and took out the mobile phone in his pocket. Three translucent ghost figures appeared around him.

Pale and hazy sleep demon.

A female ghost wind chime with flying white hair.

A head sculptor with snake hair and closed eyes.

"Why does this spirit, which looks a lot like Medusa's head, have its eyes closed?" Subway asked, pointing to the head sculptor.

"Because if it opens its eyes, it will automatically trigger the petrifying gaze. Anyone unlucky enough to look here will turn to stone," Russell explained.

The candidates around him haven't completely dispersed yet, and he doesn't want some candidates to be petrified inexplicably!

Although the Skull Sculptor can also actively remove the petrified state and return the petrified creature to its original state, this will take a little time.

"Would those extraordinary creatures whose bodies are originally made of stone, such as stone men, earth elements, and rock golems, turn into stone when they look into Medusa's eyes?" Subway, who was familiar with Russell's thinking, put forward his own Confuse.

"It will turn into a stone of another material, and it will basically not affect normal actions." Russell answered directly without thinking.

Apparently it has been tested before!
