Gabi's roll call is still going on, and most people have already been assigned occupations.
The result is that some families are happy and some are sad.
After all, the purpose of the gladiator school is to provide wonderful performances for the audience. It is also necessary to take into account the gaps in various professions and the number of people they already have. Therefore, some people are assigned to professions that they don't really want to go to.
Gabi told them that if they finally pass the assessment to become a gladiator and survive five performances, if they still don’t like their profession, they can come to him and change it again, but Gabi also warned some of them, Before that, you need to do your best, and don't be passive and sabotage. Otherwise, they probably won't live long enough to change careers.
"Zhang Heng." Gabi finally clicked on Zhang Heng's name, "Double Swordsman."
Zhang Heng nodded to show that he heard it.
As the name suggests, a dual swordsman is a gladiator who fights with two swords. The only piece of defensive equipment on his body is a helmet. In other words, this is a purely offensive profession. Armor, but most people will still have a shield in their hands.
In contrast, Dual Swordsman is a purely offensive profession. Like Net Fighter, his winning rate in the arena is not high, but his death rate is not low. However, this is the most suitable profession for Zhang Heng to exert his full combat power.
However, Zhang Heng's first choice is not dual-sword fighters, but chasers. The reason is very simple, because most of the opponents of chasers are net fighters, and net fighters are recognized as a profession that is easy to bully in the arena. With a shield, it is also more convenient to paddle.
Yes, although Zhang Heng planned to become a free man in the arena, he didn't plan to let go of his hands and play seriously.
Because being a star in any era comes at a price.
Take Cisnatus as an example. He is the ace of the gladiator school and has won the Victor Arena for three consecutive years. Before that, he had been desperately trying to squeeze out the last bit of value from Cisnatus.
Because Marcruz knew very well that the next Cisnatus would have to wait until when.
As a result, some gladiators who were at the same time as Cisnatus had even been freed. Cisnatus was still dragging his deteriorating body to fight in the arena. Of course, Marcrus also gave Cisnat Sithnatus made many promises, including increasing his share of the remuneration for each performance, finding more beautiful female slaves to serve him, etc., so it cannot be said that Marcruz forced Cisnatus to play.
But it must be admitted that Cisnatus is indeed a bit tired of his fame, otherwise he would have left the arena long ago.
Gladiator school is like a driving school to Zhang Heng. He has no interest in becoming the next Cisnatus and Marcruz’s new cash cow. He doesn’t necessarily have to rely on being a gladiator to make money. It was enough for him to be a free agent quietly, so he didn't show much in the seven days of basic training.
But everything has advantages and disadvantages.
Because he has never shown himself, Gabi had a little impression of him because of the whip on the first day, but he didn't pay attention to him after that, and naturally put him in the unfavorable group.
When the profession of Chaser was overcrowded, Gabi casually threw Zhang Heng into the group of Dual Swordsmen.
In fact, Gabi didn't have a bad impression of this oriental man who was serious about training. He seemed to be worried that Zhang Heng would be delusional, and he added on purpose, "This is only temporary. When I find a suitable candidate, we will let you switch to a chaser. "
There is no doubt that this sentence is a blank check.
Gabi's eyes finally landed on Valo, announcing the former antique dealer's fate.
"Varo, net fighter."
Compared with a few days ago, Varo looks very haggard now. Ever since he introduced himself to the owner here, what he expected has not happened. A whole week has passed, and he opened his eyes every morning full of expectations, but Only hard training greeted him.
He seemed to have been completely forgotten. Marcruz never came to the training ground again, nor did he send anyone around him to pick him up.
So gradually, Valo couldn't help but began to wonder whether he could still leave here.
Especially after a long time, he would always think back to Zhang Heng's words that day. He wanted to convince himself that it was just random speculation without evidence, but he really couldn't answer that question directly.
Until today, he finally couldn't bear it anymore. After listening to his grouping, he didn't care too much about whether it was suitable for him. Instead, he said to Gabi in an almost pleading tone, "You are the person the master trusts the most. Can't help me ask about my affairs, I have been waiting for seven days, maybe the master is too busy and forgot, you just need to mention it a little bit, just mention it."
Gabi frowned when he heard the words. He had already noticed that Walo had been absent-minded in training these days, and basically lazy where he could be lazy. Obviously, although his body is still here, his heart has long been there. Flying elsewhere, Valo has even started to think about where to buy antiques and how to find old customers to make money.
In Gabi's view, choosing a career for Varo is a waste of time, because it seems that the latter will not be able to pass the assessment after forty-three days. His end is to be sold to the countryside and work non-stop until he dies. For those who have given up on themselves, Gabi doesn't bother to worry about him anymore.
But seeing Varo's pitiful appearance, he also moved a little bit of compassion, and warned the other party for the last time, "Just like I told you on the first day, since you are standing here, then do what you should do Things, you have already told the master about your situation as you wished, if you don’t receive a reply, then you have no reply, don’t make trouble for yourself, and don’t make trouble for me, otherwise the whip in my hand is not a decoration.”
"But..." Valo wanted to say something, but Gabi impatiently planned.
"There are no buts. You know I have the right to decide whether a gladiator is qualified or not. I can send you to mine right now." Gabi said coldly with a downcast face.
Valo seemed to be taken aback by Gabi's last threat, with a sad face, although he seemed very unwilling, he had to keep his mouth shut.
Now that Gabi is talking about this point, he simply said everything, "I only bought you for three hundred sesterces, even if I resell you to the countryside, you won't lose money. You should be glad that you still have the opportunity to participate in the four sesterces." The assessment after thirteen days, yes, becoming a gladiator means that you may die, but at least you can die in the arena like a man, instead of dying in the field like a livestock, in the deep dark mine In the hole."
