"Wait a minute, Roland." Bumansa's voice came from behind, stopping Roland Hill who was about to go down the stairs to the courtyard below.
"What's wrong."
Today, Loran Hill was wearing a dark gray rabbit fur coat, which made her look quite inconspicuous. This coat was made by her at home, so it was warm and the stitching on the edges was very meticulous.
"This is for you." Bumansha handed over the long sword in her hand. Inside the black and silver sheath was the prize for the first half of the Rising Star Competition, the [Gray Dove] (Perfect Pearl Grade).
"You don't have a weapon with you, right? If you condense a magical weapon on the field, it will be very conspicuous."
"That's true." After a little hesitation, Loran Hill took it.
Transcendental weapons were fairly common among Emenas' students. Those with good financial resources were equipped with silver-grade weapons, while those from particularly wealthy families would receive gold-grade or even pearl-grade creations, such as the folding fan in Lettice's hand, the slashing bow used by Aihua in the academy competition, and the red sword in Weilin's hand. The rarest item Loranhill had ever seen was the braided bracelet on Frosia's wrist. While not a weapon, it was a coral-grade Transcendental item with various magical uses.
Even for those who don't come from a good background, there are many activities in the school where they can obtain their own extraordinary weapons. For example, the last Rising Star Competition was a one-time event where participants would receive bronze-level weapons, which was considered a benefit for freshmen.
After walking down the stairs, the venue surrounded by the crowd in front was the test site. After thinking for a moment, Loran Hill pulled up the hood behind her to cover her face. She didn't want people to remember her name and disrupt her peaceful campus life.
Unfortunately, this idea only lasted for less than a minute before it was shattered by the invigilator.
"Student, please take off your hat. We need to verify your identity. Also, wearing a hood during combat is not a good idea; it can easily obstruct your vision..."
As a last resort, Loran Hill had to do as he was told.
The winter weather was chilly, and even the breath was filled with white steam. As she took off her hat, her soft black hair slid down her shoulders, fluttering gently in the cold wind. Although many people couldn't see the girl's face from behind, her slender waist and straight long hair alone could not help but spark her imagination.
"This girl has a great figure." A classmate talked to his classmates in the back.
"The back view does look beautiful, but I've experienced this kind of thing many times. As long as I don't see the front face for even one second, I will definitely not be tempted." Another classmate said as if he had a story to tell.
"Haha, you still can't forget what happened last time. That senior sister was pretty good except for her ugly face." The classmate patted the friend on the shoulder, and they laughed and talked about the funny thing that happened last time.
Inside the venue, the invigilator looked at the notes on the roster, looked at Loran Hill with interest, and then summoned two clay golems.
"Defeat these two opponents, and I will give you points based on your performance. As for why it's two, you should know the reason."
"Okay, I understand, teacher." Loran Hill thought, maybe it would be more difficult because he had to use two identities.
After all, it was the first promotion exam for freshmen, and the Sequence 3 Clay Golem was not difficult for most students. It was just a matter of winning beautifully and getting high scores.
The two ochre-colored golems stood up, shook off the snow on their bodies, and continued to move forward. They were about 2.5 meters tall, with powerful arms about half a meter thick. One hand held a thick iron double sword, and the other hand held a long iron hammer.
Weapons that are heavy for ordinary people are very light in the hands of these golems. As they rush towards the girl, they also bring up gusts of snow dust and wind.
Loran Hill leaped back lightly, dodging the swinging weapon. She then drew her cold, snow-silver longsword and swiftly slashed down, following the gaps in the wind. Before the students behind her could see clearly, she sheathed the blade and returned it to her waist. The two clay golems on the field also slid apart, scattering to the ground, revealing their metal structure and their still-rumbling cores.
"Combat rating: 98 points."
Although it was a rare high score in this test, the invigilator was not satisfied.
"You should have swung your sword when the golem appeared, instead of letting it attack once first, so I deduct two points from you."
"The battlefield is not a performance. There's no need to give the enemy time to breathe or talk. The best approach is to resolve the situation cleanly and efficiently, and then move on to the next enemy."
"I understand, teacher."
Loran Hill bowed her head in sincere thanks. She certainly lacked the ruthlessness and decisiveness a warrior should possess. Twenty years of peaceful life in her previous life had shaped her habits and subconscious reactions, and they weren't so easy to abandon.
'Okay, next one.'
Seeing how humbly Luo Lanxier was learning, the teacher felt somewhat relieved. He told her not to worry too much and continued testing. Geniuses were always confident and proud, but it was rare to find someone as obedient as Luo Lanxier.
"98 points, so high! Could this be the best score in this test?" Some students began to sigh.
“So far, it is indeed the best result.”
Some students began to talk about it, and were curious about this girl who got high scores. Some were envious, some were incredulous, some were jealous, and some were attracted by her appearance when she turned around.
With the help of Tidaisi's pendant to conceal and adjust the light and shadow, Roland's appearance is now much more "normal", probably about the same level as Funo. Although beautiful, it is not enough to shock people speechless.
