In a private room of a restaurant outside the academy, Garro, a genius from Class 2 of the Hero Association, booked three large tables, all filled with delicacies cooked by Yuan Zhi, the meat of exotic animals.
Compared with the preciousness of credits, Source Crystal is much less valuable in their eyes. Every genius carries at least hundreds of thousands of Source Crystals in his pocket, which is more than enough for a few good meals.
Garro is very charismatic.
When he was in the City of Heroes, he was also a genius second only to Vito and Joe, with a very famous name. His father was a second-level extraordinary person, and he was ranked among the top ten in the Heroes Association.
But when he came to World Tree Academy, to his surprise, he was assigned to Class 2.
This is a shame!
"Tomorrow's end-of-month assessment, I must let the college understand the consequences of underestimating me!"
"Brother is right. I have inquired about it. The assessment at the end of the month is a challenge mode. Each student can freely challenge students in the same class or a higher class. Brother can be promoted as long as he defeats any student in Class 1. Moreover, if he wins The challenger can continue to challenge... Well, it seems that there are up to three chances of failure, but I definitely don't need it, big brother."
Wei Duo listened quietly, feeling a little strange.
Where do you get your confidence
Even I was barely confident of staying in Class 1.
It can't be that you don't know the strength of other students at all, right
After thinking about it for a moment, Wei Duo felt that it was very possible.
Thinking about myself, I didn't have any idea of prying into other students' information. If I hadn't been tortured in the ladder battle, I wouldn't have known that all my classmates were masters of pretending to be pigs and eating tigers.
Four of the five people from 43 to 47 were students in the same class. Victor didn't know their names at first, but he remembered their appearance and breath.
These people, even if Garro's strength doubled after coming to World Tree Academy, they could not be their opponents.
Vido made a side attack and learned that Garro had been practicing most of the time, had already passed the level of new transcendent, and had learned two new spells - most of the credits were used in spell learning.
but... ...
That's all.
Vido hinted several times, but Garro didn't care. In terms of population ratio, there are more heroes than Green City, and he is a top five genius. Even if Green City is very good at cultivating strong people and ranks in the top ten, The first twenty is not a problem, right
Garro has said several times that at least five Class 1 students will be defeated tomorrow.
Wei Duo opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.
The next day,
Victor logged into the 'Spiritual Space - World Tree Academy Area'. Different from the empty square before, at this time, there were at least hundreds of people.
I heard that mirror space technology is used, but what we see here are only students from the genius class.
A vice-dean used his authority to turn the square into a huge venue. There were ten arenas in the venue, and a high platform directly in front.
The vice-president, who looked middle-aged, walked up to the stage and spoke two brief sentences for half an hour.
Then, it’s time for the challenge.
"I can't wait any longer." Garro twisted his neck and his bones crackled.
Birds of a feather flock together.
The former students of World Tree Academy gather in a certain area roughly in class units, and the classes and names are thoughtfully marked above their heads to facilitate those students who don't know others - not just exchange students, the original students of World Tree Academy There are also some reclusive madmen among the students. There are many classmates who have never seen each other in the past few years since they have been in school.
Before the challenge, Garro made a special observation.
He didn't know many students, but he was not a fool either.
Those who hold the moon in front of the stars, those who exude aloofness and don't let strangers enter their aura, those whose eyes are full of awe from others... those must be the masters who are least likely to be trifled with.
He had no intention of challenging these people unless it was easy to defeat the students from the Genius Class 1.
But it's obviously impossible.
Although Garro is confident, he does not dare to underestimate the genius of Green City.
‘Based on my level, it’s probably above average in the first class. ’
At this time, almost everyone was watching and waiting, and no one made the first move.
Garro took aim at a girl who didn't look confident, and stood out from the crowd, "Class 2, Garro, challenge this classmate."
After a few seconds, the girl responded with a "yeah" and was very surprised.
The two were teleported to the ring.
Garro was tall and strong, and his aura overshadowed the girl. When he saw the girl hurriedly taking out her long sword, he felt certain and steady in his heart.
Above the arena, the 10-second clock returns to zero.
Garro maintained his gentlemanly demeanor and did not take the initiative.
suddenly,
His hair stood on end, and a chill rose from the soles of his feet to the sky.
'Danger! ’
He immediately used an advanced footwork move, leaving seven afterimages on the ring, and then appeared in another position. His arm guard transformed into a magical shield, blocking him in front of him.
But it was still a step slower.
"I... ... "
He lowered his head and stared blankly at the fact that his chest had been penetrated, and the pain only came at this moment.
On the opposite side, the less confident girl also looked surprised.
It seems to be saying, why is the opponent so weak
"puff-"
Garro spit out a mouthful of old blood, and his figure turned into particles of light and appeared off the field. The wound was repaired, but he had not yet come to his senses.
In the end what happened
Wei Duo came over and patted his shoulder sympathetically, "The geniuses in Green Shade City are not easy to mess with, so be careful, in case all three challenge opportunities are used up..."
"No, I must have chosen the wrong target!"
Garro seemed to be stunned. His eyes kept searching and finally landed on a young man with an ordinary appearance and a moderate aura.
"I challenge you."
The two figures appeared on a ring. The young man's moderate but not strong momentum gradually climbed up, climbed up, and climbed up again.
One step out.
Gallo, died.
"It's not scientific or extraordinary!"
"how so!"
The other exchange students of the Hero Association were also stunned. When Garro was in the Hero City, he never lost except against Vido and Joe. Moreover, even the two big guys, Vido and Joe, were not capable of killing Garro instantly.
must,
It must be bad luck!
Selected those top talents!
Garro regretted not asking for information first.
But now, it is difficult to get off the tiger.
His face heated up as he remembered last night when he vowed to defeat at least five first-class geniuses.
The other exchange students of the Hero Association tacitly changed the topic and did not dare to continue to spill blood on Garro's wound.
But how could geniuses from other holy lands let go of this good opportunity.
Geniuses from White Bear Winter Castle, the European Holy See, etc. pretended to come over to express their condolences.
Don't be discouraged, after all, the strength is not comparable.
It must be too careless, otherwise, it would definitely be able to... hold on for 0.01 seconds longer.
Garro was fuming with rage.
"No, I must win one game."
He kept observing with his eyes. At this time, other students were also challenging, but most of them were concentrated in Classes 3, 4 and 5 at the back.
Garro's brain is constantly analyzing and running at high speed.
Analyze the interpersonal relationships, conversations, eyes, etc. of a group of students.
His father is a big boss in intelligence. Although Garro is not a professional intelligence officer, he knows all these methods!
You are the one!
After a while, he chose a boy who looked a bit girly, but he was mixed with some weaklings from Class 2 and Class 3. He didn't have the style of a master at all.
Yang Feixue!
It was a somewhat feminine name. Garro was afraid that he would be challenged by others, so he quickly confirmed it in the system.
Vido opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he saw Garro's actions as fierce as a tiger's.
He immediately raised his forehead.
It will definitely be colder this time.
If he remembered correctly, this Yang Feixue was the one ranked third in the ladder competition, right
Garro must be tired of living.
'I should have stopped him earlier...'
Vidor sighed helplessly, but then he thought about it. Garro was still determined to challenge, and he could not defeat the genius class, whether it was first or last.
The same thing.
In the distance, Yang Feixue, who was giving instructions to his classmates, was suddenly startled and said, "Wait for me for ten seconds."
He disappeared.
It was exactly ten seconds from entering the ring to the end.
Ten seconds later, Yang Feixue appeared again, "Where did we just talk?"
the other side,
Garro looked dejected.
The moment the attack ended, he was defeated and didn't even know what happened.
An even more complete defeat.
The three failed chances had been exhausted. Garro's face was burning and he lowered his head, as if everyone around him was laughing.
He had no face to stay any longer and was about to leave.
suddenly,
A voice came from not far away, "Classmate Garro, I want to challenge you."
He looked up and saw a strange classmate. The clothes on his body told him that he was a student from Green City.
but... ...
The classes with overhead logos are particularly eye-catching.
Class three!
Garro clenched his fists and made a cracking sound.
Like a wounded lion, his bloodshot eyes radiated with monstrous rage.
Intolerable!
Garro accepted the challenge—and he couldn't refuse.
Ten minutes later,
Because his mind was filled with anger, Garro fought in a chaotic manner, and was defeated by just one move.
His mood fluctuated violently and he spit out a mouthful of old blood. Under the influence of the spiritual space, his injuries recovered.
But the feeling of decadence lingered.
The class number above the head also changed from Class 2 to Class 3.
It was as if he was mocking him obsessively and overestimating his abilities.
And because he wasted three failed opportunities, now, even if he wants to continue the challenge and regain his identity as a Class 2 student, he has no choice.
Garro left in despair.
Before leaving, he was challenged twice more, this time by students from Class 4, all of whom were only at the awakening level. Garro easily won.
After being challenged three times, you have the right to reject subsequent challengers.
Garro was able to leave halfway, thanks to the last two challengers, but unfortunately he was not in a good mood.
There is something tragic about the exchange students of the Hero Association.
Because Garro was defeated in four out of four battles, both the students in Green Shade City and the exchange students from other holy places felt that the hero would be strong on the outside but weak on the inside... No, it should be called not strong on the outside but brittle on the inside.
Many people aim their challenge at the exchange students of the Hero Association.
Vidor also fought twice.
The challengers were all students from Class 2, and he won easily. After that, no one challenged him.
But another genius, who was initially assigned to the first class, was kicked off.
The end-of-month assessment challenge lasted for most of the day.
In the past, assessment challenges often ended within an hour.
Who is strong and who is weak? The students have B-trees in their minds.
There are many more exchange students this year, and there seems to be a few bad guys.
Challenging, and being challenged, lasted for a long time.
At first, exchange students from major holy places were the initiators of the challenge, but after seeing Garro's fate, many of them became intimidated and became the challenged party.
With the expansion of the number of places in the gifted class, many students from World Tree Academy have eliminated exchange students, promoted their rankings, and received higher benefits.
certainly,
Among the exchange students from various holy places, it is not without challenges.
Vidor saw that a genius from Class Three in Winter Castle was successfully promoted to Class Two, and there was also a genius from Volendo in Class Four who successfully challenged.
but... ...
The ones they challenged were not former students of World Tree Academy, but exchange students from other holy places, one of whom was from the Heroes Association.
This is very embarrassing.
What's even more embarrassing is that the two talented exchange students who succeeded in the challenge didn't stand still for long before they were KO'd by the former students of World Tree Academy.
Wei Duo glanced around and saw that none of the exchange students had been promoted.
In fact, only 60% can keep their current class status, and the rest will fall to the next class.
In the entire genius class, Wei Duo found that there were only four exchange students left, him, Yao Chengwu, Gu Tang, and Eva.
The only thing that made Wei Duo and other exchange students feel relieved was that although their exchange students were not as good as the previous ones, they were still better than those below.
Those exchange students in Class 5, the genius class, all successfully defended their current status when faced with the challenge from the elite Class 1 students, barely saving a bit of face.
... ...
A month-end assessment allowed many exchange students to fully understand themselves.
Many people ignored the orders of their respective Holy Land high-level officials to inquire about intelligence, and worked hard to practice. Even if it was for themselves and the face of the forces behind them, they couldn't do too badly.
Another three months passed in the blink of an eye, and there were three end-of-month assessments.
Exchange students from major holy places are after all talented people. With the excellent training environment and resources, everyone has made qualitative breakthroughs in strength and realm. Some geniuses who once fell in the end-of-month challenge have regained their status again. .
The number of exchange students in Genius Class 1 has increased to seven.
Vito's ranking on the school ladder has risen from 48th to 33rd, and he is ranked among the top 25 in the genius class.
Yes, the geniuses at the top of the rankings are not all sixth grade students, there are many fourth graders and fifth graders among them. Those are the real geniuses.
This makes Victor even more afraid to be arrogant.
"But that guy Garro..."
Kneeling four times in a row during the end of the month assessment was a huge blow to Garro, who had been going smoothly since the end of the world. Not only did he fail to return to the second class of geniuses, I heard that in the recent assessment, he was almost unable to keep his position in the third class.
There is no improvement in strength at all.
at the same time,
Far away in the Heroes Association, Old Garro also heard about his son.
"Ranked over 100? Completely abandoned, not even completing basic training courses every day?"
He frowned, suppressing his anger.
He immediately put down his work, went to the teleportation area of Hero City, used his authority to jump in line, and teleported directly to Green Shade City.
