"Is this the Dawn Star Mark?"
Looking at the syringe in his hand, Fang Zheng asked curiously, and Jiujiu Sakuya nodded.
"Yes, just as you heard before, the Dawn Star Mark is actually a super-powered nanocomputer developed by our Dawn Organization. It stores data on all weapons in the world from ancient times to the present, and will manifest the most suitable weapon for the holder based on his own experience and wishes."
"No wonder... It's not easy to conduct human experiments on this kind of thing."
Fang Zheng looked at Jiujiu Sakuya and said, after all, compared with Huang-style weapons, this thing is to be injected into the body. Although Huang-style weapons are powerful, they are just a weapon for the Xingmai generation. It is a pity that there are not many, but there is no need to focus too much on it.
But this kind of thing that needs to be injected into the human body is different. Even if it has the advantage of not requiring universal ore to build Huang-style weapons, it is eliminated by the risk of having to be injected into the human body.
What's more terrible is that this injection is not a one-time thing. In order to prevent the injected power from devouring the holder himself, the Dawn Organization has also developed a technique called level restriction. In other words, the Dawn Star Mark injected into Fang Zheng's body at the beginning is only the lowest level 1. Only when his body and mind adapt to this level of power will he be injected again to unlock the next level of the Dawn Star Mark's ability.
To be honest...
"Why don't you just give me unlimited Dawn Star Marks? Then there won't be any problems, right?"
I can obviously start at Lv99, so why should I start from Lv1?
"That won't do. You are the candidate we have high hopes for, so even if you are a little conservative, you must be down-to-earth. But don't worry, if you can adapt quickly, we will also upgrade your rank as soon as possible."
"All right."
Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders, then picked up the syringe and pressed it directly against his neck. He didn't care if this thing had any hidden dangers or would produce any side effects that would kill him. After all, Fang Zheng was just reincarnated this time, and even if this body died, for him it was just "victory and defeat are common in the military, hero, please start over again."
“——!”
At the moment of injecting the Dawn Star Mark, a halo similar to a magic circle suddenly appeared on Fang Zheng's chest, and then flames burst out from it and spread to Fang Zheng's whole body. For a moment, he even felt that his blood was evaporating and boiling. If it were an ordinary person, he would probably lose his mind just by experiencing this kind of pain. But for Fang Zheng, it was not unbearable. He just frowned slightly and passed this level.
Then, flames formed on Fang Zheng's body and turned into his weapon.
"oh?"
Seeing this scene, Jiujiu Sakuya widened his eyes in surprise and stared at Fang Zheng.
"Indeed, you are a partner who is very worthy of investment."
"I see."
After looking at the weapons on his body, Fang Zheng nodded in understanding. Then he raised his head and looked at the black-haired Gothic Lolita with twin ponytails in front of him.
"That way, there won't be any problems."
"That's right."
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Jiujiu Sakuya smiled slightly.
"Then I hope you can achieve 'Absolute Double Blade' one day."
Although I have no interest in this...
In any case, Fang Zheng had successfully injected the Dawn Star Mark, and after that, he also came to the Academy City ASTERISK.
This place is very similar to the Academy City in the world of Certain Scientific Railgun. In simple terms, it is a city built mainly by various schools, and the Star Martial Arts Festival is also held here. The school Fang Zheng is going to is Haoling Academy, which was invested and built by the Dawn Organization. It is located on a small island outside the Academy City and is basically isolated from the world. It is only connected to the Academy City by a suspended monorail. There is no way around it. According to Jiujiu Sakuya, there were originally eight financial groups in charge of this place. But now two of them have become weak - unfortunately, the Dawn Organization is one of them.
That's why they want to use the Dawn Star to rise again and regain their glory.
Of course, Fang Zheng was not the only one who enrolled. Although the Dawn Star Pattern technology had not yet been recognized by the public, in order to attract students, the Dawn Institute also offered free tuition, free boarding, and a high-end boarding school as well as a high monthly living allowance.
As the saying goes, money can make people come out, so there are still many students who come to the school to save their lives. At least Fang Zheng has seen hundreds of people like this.
And they are the first batch of students of Haoling Academy.
In the auditorium, most students were excitedly waiting for the opening ceremony to begin, while Fang Zheng was leaning back in his chair and yawning in boredom. After all, he knew that this opening ceremony was not that simple.
As expected, after the 99th night of the lunar calendar, she announced that a ceremony called "Qualification Ceremony" would begin. This ceremony was very simple, that is, to become a partner with the person next to you, and then duel. Only the winner can be recognized for admission, and the loser will have the Dawn Star Mark removed and leave here.
As expected, after the news was announced on the night of the 99th day of the lunar calendar, the students were shocked and expressed their opposition.
"Are you kidding? Doesn't it mean that anyone can enroll as long as they have the aptitude?"
"What will happen to the losers in the future?"
"Stop joking! Can you take responsibility?"
Faced with the students' protests, Kyuju Sakuya didn't care at all.
"This is just an entrance exam that happens everywhere. You can only survive if you kick others out. The winner is king. It's no different from a normal entrance exam, except for the content."
“Woo…”
After hearing Jiujiu Sakuya's answer, the students gritted their teeth and were unable to answer for a while. Fang Zheng shook his head. He certainly knew why Jiujiu Sakuya said that. The Dawn Organization hoped to achieve results in the Star Martial Festival as soon as possible, so what they needed to do was to select those who had combat potential and ability to enroll as much as possible, and at the same time eliminate those who were unsuitable and dragged down.
After all, it is not easy to get into a school that provides free food and accommodation and also provides living expenses, and it is not a place for people to slack off. Moreover, just like what Jiujiu Sakuya said, this is actually no different from the entrance examinations of many schools. If you want to get in, you have to take the exam. Those who fail the exam or are below the score line will also be eliminated. It's just that in this school, this is presented to everyone in an extremely vivid and intuitive way.
"So, fight on, you chosen ones, and seize the future that belongs to you with your own hands!"
As Jiujiu Sakuya finished speaking, the students finally started to move. Some were still confused and stood still. Some had already started fighting, while others simply gave up fighting and ran out of the auditorium.
Although Jiujiu Sakuya said that the weapon formed by the Dawn Star Pattern is a weapon of the soul and can only cause damage to the soul, not everyone is willing to join the battle.
At this time, Fang Zheng also opened his eyes and looked at an ordinary-looking boy beside him.
"Aren't you going to give up?"
"Sure. What about you?"
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, the young man shook his head, and Fang Zheng also stood up.
"Well, get started. Don't worry. It only takes a moment."
"I won't give up just like that."
As he spoke, the young man stood up and prepared to fight, while Fang Zheng stared at him.
"You won't summon your weapon?"
“…”
The boy didn't say anything, but just clenched his fists, while Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.
"Since you are willing to die, there is nothing we can do..."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng stretched out his hand, and soon, flames burst out from his body and then turned into weapons. Looking at Fang Zheng's weapon, the young man was also stunned.
In Fang Zheng's right hand, he held a Japanese sword, and behind his back, he carried a Western sword. The boy was also shocked to see this scene.
"you……?"
"I have already given you a chance."
Fang Zheng held the end of the hilt in his right hand, raised the Japanese sword in his right hand horizontally, stretched out his left hand, pressed on the tip of the sword, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stretched his whole body like a bow. Seeing this action, the boy's face suddenly changed.
"This is……!?"
"it's over!"
With Fang Zheng's roar, the sharp blade in his right hand shot out like a bolt of lightning and pierced directly into the boy's chest!
“Baki!!”
At this moment, facing Fang Zheng's attack, the boy finally stopped hesitating. He roared and raised his left hand. Then, a shield accompanied by flames appeared on the boy's arm. Then the boy raised the shield and faced the sharp blade in front of him.
However... it had no effect at all. In front of Fang Zheng's lightning-fast attack, the boy's resistance was so insignificant and helpless, just like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
"clang!!!"
The pitch-black shield shattered instantly, and the next moment, the sharp blade in Fang Zheng's hand pierced through the boy's arm and chest, and like a raging wave, it swept him directly into the wall.
"boom!!!"
With the scattered smoke and violent collision sounds, the battles around them stopped for a moment. Everyone turned their heads in surprise and looked in the direction of the sound. They saw that Fang Zheng had already retracted his sword, and behind him, the young man fell into the sunken wall, unconscious.
"hiss--!"
Seeing this scene, almost all the students gasped and looked at Fang Zheng with horror.
Is this guy a monster?!
