Chapter 94 Grade Trial Competition 10 (4000 comments plus more)
"Lu Yi! I did everything you told us before." Canaan poked him and whispered.
"Most people readily agreed to come, but looking at the current situation, I think quite a few people will cancel their plans..."
Lu Yi nodded, his expression unchanged.
"It doesn't matter. The number of people is important but not that important." He also said in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Canaan looked at Lu Yi thoughtfully.
He opened his mouth and asked silently with his lips: "Do you have any way to guarantee a backup?"
Lu Yi nodded and answered silently: "Yes."
Canaan breathed a sigh of relief immediately. "That's good, that's good. I was just worried that I would really be in trouble."
Flo watched the conversation between the two without saying anything until she heard Canaan say he wanted to kill her. Then she couldn't help but say, "Wait a little longer. It's not time yet. There are more and more people. Maybe by then we'll have enough..."
Flo looked into Lu Yi's deep blue eyes, with a look of determination that she herself was not even aware of.
She couldn't help but recall what Fielding had said to her before.
——"Don't you think you underestimate the name Lu Yi Klein?"
She did not refute Fielding at the time.
But that doesn't mean she thought as Fielding said.
She believed in the power behind the name Lu Yi Klein, but at the same time, she was even more unwilling to let this name become a burden to Lu Yi.
He took on the responsibility of being the chief, so even Fielding subconsciously regarded him as omnipotent.
Things that others would surely fail at, would be accomplished naturally and smoothly by him.
They lifted him up, unconsciously deifying him.
But what if one day, the chief they had promoted to the position of Chief Minister failed to maintain his omnipotence?
Just like the situation in the grade trial competition now.
In the past few dozen classes, there has never been a first-year student defeating a second-year student.
Last year’s Chief Saman was also a rare talent that only appears once in a century, and his leadership among the first graders at that time should not be underestimated.
But even so, they still lost the grade trial competition in the end.
Not to mention their situation today which is even worse.
When Lu Yi proposed the idea of a combined magic circle, Flo felt a little uneasy.
It was just because of the light in Lu Yi's eyes that made her throw away all her worries.
However, in reality, the teams before her had even fewer people than expected, which made her even more anxious.
If I really fail in the end——
Flo lowered her eyes, various thoughts popping up in her mind.
It’s okay to fail.
Even if those first-year students who are fence-sitters want to pull Lu Yi down from the altar, they should first ask the people in Lu Yi's fan club whether they agree.
Flo thought of the worst, but was caught off guard when she saw Lu Yi saying that he was well prepared.
The huge stone in Flo's heart suddenly fell to the ground.
"They will definitely come..." Flo murmured, "even if it's at the last minute."
Lu Yi looked up at her and smiled.
"What a coincidence, I thought so too."
He has made all the necessary preparations, but still maintains an optimistic outlook for the uncertain future.
There were more people willing to attract senior students than Lu Yi had imagined.
Among the dozen or so teams that arrived first, almost every team sent someone to stand in front of him.
They stood in front of Lu Yi, some with relaxed expressions, while others looked serious and nervous.
But the only thing in common was that they were all staring at Lu Yi intently at this moment, as if they would execute whatever he said without hesitation in the next second.
"Do you know what we are going to do next?" Lu Yi asked.
A dozen people looked at each other, and a man with a relaxed expression took the lead and said, "I know, eliminate those seniors who haven't been eliminated yet!"
The remaining dozen or so people nodded in agreement.
"I know that, too."
"I made it clear when they asked me before!"
"Yes, yes!"
"Don't worry, Chief. We will definitely complete the task well!"
"We will definitely complete the mission! It may be difficult to eliminate them, but in this forest, we are familiar with the route and can run very fast! It will be no problem to lead them over!"
"Don't worry, Chief. We'll be back soon! To be honest, our team has been here for more than 20 minutes. In another 10 minutes, we'll have to go somewhere else..."
That damn rule says you can't travel with more than one person.
They all keep the approximate time in mind and walk around accordingly!
"Don't worry, it won't take us much time and we'll be done soon." Lu Yi smiled, feeling half relieved and half complicated.
Even though they sound so relaxed now, it is not as easy as they say to attract senior students here.
They were just trainee magicians, and some were even just magician apprentices.
This is no joke as it is separated by one or two major realms.
The level gap brings more than just differences in skills and magic power.
The understanding and use of magic by first-year students and second- and third-year students are simply incomparable. Those like Lu Yi who can fight across levels are extremely rare, and others have no ability to copy them at all.
Bringing in seniors is almost the same as Dances with Wolves.
Even though there are more than ten teams standing in front of him now, even Lu Yi can't guarantee how many people will be able to return safely in the end.
"Remember, your own safety comes first. It doesn't matter if you fail to lure all the senior students here. We will eliminate the big ones first, and the rest will be nothing to worry about." Lu Yi couldn't help but remind him.
"When the trial is over, I will distribute the rewards to the first-year group properly and will not let you work in vain."
The way he frowned slightly and whispered caring advice was so touching that many people were stunned in front of Lu Yi.
"Okay..."
Lu Yi looked at the sky and estimated that it was about time. He nodded to them and said, "Okay..."
Someone took the last opportunity to leave and asked boldly: "Chief, how many points do you have now? Did you eliminate a lot of seniors?"
Lu Yi blinked and looked down at his chest in confusion.
Only then did he realize that a maple leaf had gotten caught on the strap of his schoolbag, just blocking the score number on his chest.
"Oh, points..." Lu Yi casually pushed away the leaves.
The points on his chest were thus revealed to everyone.
——100612.
The man who asked the question was the first to see the number on Lu Yi’s chest and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
"How much? One hundred thousand??!!!"
"Oh my god, by the God of Light, I can't even reach a fraction of your level!"
"If the points can be exchanged for the final reward, the school will really bleed a lot of money!"
"How many seniors will be eliminated by this...?"
Lu Yi smiled and said, "Exactly one hundred and twenty people."
Eighty-seven sophomores and thirty-three juniors.
The eight third-year students he eliminated in the end all had thousands of points, which directly brought his points to the 100,000 mark.
Now, points are really just a string of numbers on Lu Yi’s chest.
If the points can really be exchanged for rewards, then maybe it will make Lu Yi happy.
Lu Yi patted the excited man on the shoulder and said, "Let's go. Once the magic circle is built, you will know how much points you can earn by eliminating senior students..."
This is much faster than playing World of Warcraft!
…
After reinforcing the key points of each formation again, Lu Yi and the other four members of the team dispersed and prepared to move forward to lure the seniors closer.
This time, the division is still between Canaan and Rupert, Flo and Fielding, and Lu Yi acts alone.
Everyone knew that the situation was urgent, so they didn't say anything more. They just nodded to each other and separated quickly.
Lu Yi moved quickly and disappeared into the forest in the blink of an eye.
The mountain behind is extremely large, and there are only about a hundred senior students who have met the requirements, so it is really difficult to find anyone at first glance.
Because of this, the joint magic circle is scheduled to begin in two hours.
When there are too many people, unexpected events become unpredictable.
They were unable to predict the actions of their companions and senior students, and therefore were unable to accurately control the activation of the formation.
We can only keep settling for the second best option and agree on an optimal time to maximize efficiency.
If you can take away thirty people, you won’t lose anything. If you can take away fifty people, you will make a huge profit!
Lu Yi quickly explored the magic power around him, and said to 857: [“Quick, show me the place with the biggest magic fluctuations around…”]
[Okay!] 857 moved upon hearing the sound.
Soon, a mechanical sound that was slightly high-pitched due to excitement rang out.
[Lu Yi! I found something! About two thousand meters to the southeast, there are dozens, no, a hundred or so magic groups! They must be the senior students. They must have formed a group! How shameless!]
Lu Yi raised his eyebrows and thought that was just right.
He was just worrying that these senior students were too scattered to be able to get together, but by some strange chance they finally got together.
Isn't this just like handing over a pillow when you are sleepy, so that he can catch them all at once? !
But to be on the safe side, Lu Yi still asked cautiously: [“Did they set up any magic array in advance? Maybe they were waiting for me…”]
The noise made by these first-year students was not big, but definitely not small either.
At least Lu Yi would never believe that none of those senior students noticed their intentions.
857 checked carefully and said with certainty: [No, I don’t know what they are talking about. Forget about the ambush they prepared for you. I even think they are going to fight among themselves…]
As 857 spoke, he couldn't help but gloat over the misfortune.
[This is definitely stable! ]
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Lu Yi's face.
He quickened his pace and moved quickly in the direction indicated by 875.
The closer you get, the stronger the sense of oppression from the magic becomes.
Lu Yi held his breath and suppressed the fluctuations of his own magic power to the minimum.
Like a cat, he silently approached a very secluded spot outside the crowd.
"Don't you think what you said is funny?" A male voice sounded with suppressed anger.
Lu Yi pricked up his ears.
Another male voice followed up, "You are the one who is funny, right? Haven't you seen the situation clearly yet?"
"Situation? What kind of situation can there be?! He's just a first-level magician! He's just a first-level magician! No matter how powerful he is, how powerful can he be? Is it necessary to mobilize so many troops? Those who know will say that the opponent is just a first-level magician, and those who don't know will think that the opponent is all fourth-grade students! Is your second-level magician also fake?"
"Haha, one person was eliminated by accident, but a hundred people were eliminated by coincidence? It turns out that magic power promotion does not consume brains. This time, you have been promoted to the second level smoothly, right?"
"What do you mean? I hit you in the sore spot and you're starting to feel uncomfortable, right?!"
"It should be obvious who was hit in the sore spot by whom. Do I need to say more? Whoever gets angry will be the one who suffers!"
"You say one more word of bullshit! Do you believe I will punch you in the face? Do you think I won't dare to touch you just because this is a grade trial? I'm telling you, I don't care about you! Only a grandson like you would be afraid of this and that, bringing shame to our third grade!"
Afterwards, there was no more sound of the other man, but instead there was a sudden burst of violent magic power.
At first, some people around tried to persuade them to stop, but when they saw that the two men were so eager to fight, the others were too lazy to get involved and simply moved a little to make room for the two men to fight to their heart's content.
Lu Yi, who was hiding in a tree, watched the whole show for nothing. He felt a little regretful when he saw that the others had calmed down so quickly.
[“Why don’t you fight together? That’s too weak…”]
It would be so easy for him to take advantage of the chaos!
Lu Yi thought with regret.
He looked at the men and women in black school uniforms who seemed to be in the central focus circle, and then looked around at the several people around him who were standing on the trees or scattered around like him.
The people in the center were still talking, while those in the outer circle were gathering in groups of three or four, chatting and laughing.
They were all participants in this chaotic meeting, except Lu Yi who was a lurker spying in secret.
Because he was wearing an invisibility cloak, Lu Yi was not panicked at all.
He even felt that the position of the tree he was standing on was not good enough, so he moved forward two trees with extra calmness and stood on the tree closest to the central circle, eavesdropping on the conversation between the people openly.
"...I actually don't understand why we, the third graders, are invited to a small grade trial. Is it fun to bully the rookies?"
"Who knows? If the boss says so, then come."
"The problem is that I don't think the chief seems very willing. Could it be pressure from the twelfth seat or the fourth grade?" another person whispered.
"No way! Aren't the fourth graders worried about graduation? Why would they bother to get involved in such trivial matters..."
"It's hard to say. The grades are already in chaos, not to mention that the head of the fourth grade is now in cahoots with the Vatican—"
The man's voice suddenly stopped, as if he realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said. After a pause, he abruptly changed the topic to another direction.
Lu Yi stood on the tree and slowly narrowed his eyes.
Holy See?
What does this have to do with the Vatican?
Could it be that the appearance of third-year students in the grade trial competition was the result of the intervention of the Holy See?
Is it Callisto?
...or West Asia?
He originally thought that Cromwell was targeting him and was deliberately trying to disgust him during the grade trial.
I didn't expect there was a hidden hand behind this incident.
Lu Yi frowned and immediately asked: [“857, was Xia behind the grade trial competition?”]
Upon hearing this, 857 immediately opened the backend log, but was blinded by the [Points Authority Limitation! ] pop-up.
Points authority limit!!
Is there not even a single point left in its account?
857 Like being struck by lightning.
It said sadly: [61, I also want to tell you the origin of the matter, but I have used up my points and do not have the authority to adjust the background log. ]
[“Just transfer 500 from my account. Is that enough?”]
857 was so surprised that he immediately said, "Enough, enough, enough! Honey, I will help you take a good look at the log now..."
Lu Yi waited quietly.
Although the results have not come out yet, he has almost sentenced Xia to death.
After all, no matter from which angle you look at it, this guy is the most suspicious!
Callisto had absolutely no motivation to interfere in the grade trial.
Moreover, he never triggered any malicious value towards Lu Yi.
[Got it!] 857 exclaimed, [It really is him!]
Lu Yi understood, and his disgust towards Xia became even stronger.
[“This guy is so annoying. He stretches his arms so long, isn’t he afraid of breaking them?”]
[Let me see the whole story...hiss, he hooked up with the top student in the fourth grade!]
【“Cromwell?”】Lu Yi frowned slightly.
Although he guessed that the problem lay with Cromwell, he still felt annoyed when he heard what 857 said.
[Yes, it is this Cromwell... Well, but Xia came here under the name of the Holy See... Not a good review, this is really not a good review, he almost said that he was acting according to the will of Pope Callisto! ]
Lu Yi sneered, [“He has figured out how to use the power of a tiger to bully others.”]
If the title of the one favored by God had not fallen on him, Lu Yi estimated that Xia would definitely parade around in public using the identity of the one favored by God.
After all, it's not as comfortable to use someone else's name as it is to be great yourself.
When in doubt, the God of Light takes the lead.
It’s a pity that Xia can’t use such a good name.
[“Speaking of which, is the selection of the Holy Son coming soon?”]
Lu Yi switched to Rant's perspective, and after confirming that the Holy Son Selection Competition would start next week, he switched back to his own main perspective.
Sure, let him be happy for another week.
When the Holy Son selection competition begins, he won't be able to laugh anymore.
After all, Rand inherited Lu Yi's full-level affinity for the power of light.
Lu Yi turned his attention back to the people who were still talking.
Their topic went around in circles and finally came back to the head of the first grade.
"This chief is indeed not to be underestimated... You all should know that those freshmen are getting together and doing something."
"What other tricks can you come up with? They think that acting together can spread the risk. Humph, but they don't know that wild animals always travel alone. Only cattle and sheep travel in herds!"
The man who spoke at the beginning slapped the short-haired man who looked as if it was a matter of course, and said angrily: "You don't have a good heart, right? I just told you not to look down on others. If you always hold such arrogant thoughts, you will suffer sooner or later!"
Apart from a few truly spoiled nobles, how many truly innocent and simple people are there in Braceside?
No matter how they appear to others, everyone has their own little tricks in their hearts.
If you are too arrogant, you may suffer a great loss at the hands of these seemingly insignificant people at any time.
The short-haired man was scolded so much that he kept silent and lowered his head.
Seeing that he still had a hint of dissatisfaction on his face, the man shook his head, sighed, and said nothing more.
Some people just have to suffer losses before they learn their lessons, and no one can stop them.
That was all he had to say. It was none of his business whether people listened or not.
The man turned around and asked another companion beside him, "What do you think those first-year students are doing?"
"A combined magic circle. I've only been learning magic for less than a year, so there's nothing else I can do." The woman wearing plain glasses with thin frames said without thinking.
"But their class is indeed stronger than ours. Why didn't we think of using a combined magic circle to deal with the seniors back then? Although it is a bit troublesome to implement, it is indeed the best option at the moment!" the woman said with emotion.
The man's expression became complicated, as if he was sighing and regretting, "Chief Yieta also thought of the combined magic circle back then."
"Then why didn't you do it then?" the woman asked puzzledly.
The man looked helpless, "Have you forgotten? Yieta's status as the chief, she had to work so hard just to sit on the chief seat! Even now, there are many nobles who claim to be noble and ignore her, not to mention back then."
This plan was simply unrealistic for Yieta at that time.
She is just a commoner with no foundation.
There was no way to gather all the first-year students, including the nobles, together.
The woman sighed and said in a complicated tone, "What a pity! The Chief is so good!"
If her family background had been a little better, her first grade would not have been so difficult.
The man shook his head. "The chief won't care about this. She said this is her honor and the career she will fight for her whole life. We just need to follow the chief."
The woman nodded vigorously.
"What did the first-year students say?" another person asked, "Should we go and destroy that combined magic circle? Or should we just pretend nothing happened and wait for the grade trial to end?"
The man's expression was a little hesitant. "To be safe, it's best for us to pretend that nothing happened. The safest way is to defeat them one by one."
Regardless of whether the combined magic circle could be successful, the man did not think that what these first-year students came up with could have such amazing power.
A group of trainee magicians and magician apprentices, in the final analysis, are just a group of children playing house.
What kind of adults are afraid of children playing house?
What he was worried about from the beginning to the end was the variable of Lu Yi, the head of the first grade.
"Yes, this is the safest way." A second-year student in a white school uniform said, "But it is also the most cowardly way."
"When the grade trial is over, the whole of Blyside will know that we, a bunch of seniors, can't even face the shabby magic circle drawn by the first-years. How embarrassing!"
The second graders' words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, immediately creating countless ripples.
More and more people began to speak out and express their opinions.
"Could it be that they called us here just to let us avoid that ridiculous combined magic circle? That would be really embarrassing..."
"The first-grade leader is very powerful, but he's the only one! As far as I know, he's the only first-level magician in the entire first grade, and the rest are just some low-level trainee magicians, magician apprentices, and the like!"
"They all gathered together to make it easier for us to eliminate them, so why should we stand here and worry about something else? What so-called risks? I only see huge benefits!"
"Are you being a little too cautious?"
"Could it be that he simply doesn't want to see my sophomores gain points? After all, look at how many third-year students have been eliminated. The number of those left now is less than the number of our sophomores! By the end of the time, their points will definitely not be as high as ours..."
"Hey! That's not certain. Maybe they secretly sent a small team to eat up all those freshmen. There are about a hundred of them. Maybe they can turn the tables!"
"I don't understand either. Isn't this a sure thing? Why should we be so careful, even to the point of being overly cautious——"
"God of Light, I just want to eliminate all these remaining first-year students! I'm fed up with this empty backyard! I want to sleep in a big bed! I want to eat delicious food! I'm really fed up!!"
