Chapter 284 Why Lanqi's name glows red

The southern area of ​​the Protoss Royal Academy of Magic in the morning.

Half an hour had passed since eight o'clock.

The entire building complex was eerily silent, with only the occasional silhouette of people passing quickly inside visible through the dim windows.

Because today is the assessment day at the end of the month, it officially starts at nine in the morning and lasts until nine in the evening.

All students who needed to take part in this crucial test had arrived at the test area before eight o'clock - a building covered by a huge barrier.

The buildings with different functions in the barrier assessment area are connected by intricate aerial corridors and underground levels. The candidates will have one hour to prepare. They can first familiarize themselves with the terrain, understand the announcement of this assessment, and choose an assessment classroom that is more suitable for the starting point.

During this preparation time, all students are in a state where spells, force and magic cards are disabled, and they can no longer leave the range of the barrier.

Unless the dying warning line is triggered while injured, the player will be judged as a failure and a teacher will take him out.

In the corridor on the underground floor of the assessment area, Lanqi and Zestira walked in silence.

The end of the road was swallowed up by endless blackness.

Even the silence was deepened in this deep corridor.

There were only sparse lights flickering on both sides and going out from time to time. The marble floor tiles were covered with golden patterns. Whenever the light swept through, the patterns emerged, gorgeous and mysterious.

The two walked lightly, observing the intricate decorations and place markers around them.

There are magic screens on various walkways along the way that can play real-time notifications and the latest announcements, and display maps, areas, etc.

The place where the two of them are now feels like the ruins of an underground railway.

"This is the remains of an ancient rail station in the Demon Realm. It has now been converted into a part of the Protoss Royal School of Magic. There will even be trains operating after the assessment begins."

Seeing that Lanqi's eyes lingered on every detail of the platform, Zestira explained to Lanqi.

“No wonder you can still see the railroad tracks.”

Lanci nodded.

After half an hour of observation, he found that although the assessment area divided by the Protoss Royal School of Magic was very different from the structure of the Purgatory Corridor Academy, in terms of scale, the assessment area on the monthly assessment day was not inferior to the number of classrooms that were originally open at the Purgatory Corridor Academy.

Although the examination area appears to be entirely indoors, the examination date changes every month, and it is difficult for students to quickly find the classroom they want to go to. It involves a certain amount of guesswork and luck, and they can only see different marks on the doorplates of the examination classrooms to distinguish the difficulty and type.

In addition to some basic fixed mechanisms, some rules of each monthly assessment day will change and will be announced after all candidates enter the assessment area.

This one hour of preparation time is also time for students to understand the rules.

Zestila had only explained the basic rules to Lanci once before.

For example, you can earn credit points by successfully passing the classroom assessment.

In the assessment area, there are various types of assessment-style teaching as well as simple examination rooms, while the rest area is similar to a restaurant, infirmary, shop, etc. Generally speaking, there is no danger but it requires credits.

There are five two-hour examination periods and four thirty-minute rest periods within the twelve hours. Only during the thirty-minute rest period will the isolation barrier between the examination area and the rest area be lifted.

In addition, you need to pass at least three classes to be qualified, otherwise a large number of credits will be deducted as a penalty.

After passing the difficulty level 1 classroom, you will get a minimum of 10 credits. After passing the difficulty level 2 classroom, you will get a minimum of 20 credits, and so on. If you perform extremely well, you may get additional credits even in the difficulty level 1 assessment.

Lanqi understood it after listening to it once, and didn't ask Zestila any questions, which made Zestila feel that he seemed to be very familiar with this rule, so she didn't talk to him any more.

"During rest time, any place is safe and you are not allowed to attack others. During examination time, any place outside the examination room is a free fighting area. Sometimes, according to the rules, you can lift the safety restrictions and fight in the examination room."

This is the only point that Zestila emphasized to Lanqi as they walked.

Although they would not risk being severely punished by harming the lives of other students, some people still like to resort to murderous means.

Both she and Loki are of relatively weak combat power and have to rely on mechanisms for protection. They cannot meet those senior students who choose to take the assessment, or the noble students with powerful servants in an unrestricted state.

“Will teachers not kill people if they don’t perform well on the assessment?”

Lanqi rubbed his chin and said in confusion when he heard this.

Although the rules of the Protoss Royal School of Magic encourage more confrontation between students and contain many additional mechanisms, such as interference from powerful professors and senior students off the field, it lacks the life-and-death thrill that learning should have.

Zestira was stunned.

She didn't know what Lanqi's words were.

What kind of school would kill students at will?

Don’t schools in the southern continent emphasize respect, friendship, and mutual help?

"Of course there can't be that kind of rule."

Zestila answered Lanqi's questions patiently as always.

The two chatted from time to time as they walked along the dim tunnel, with only the eye-catching light of the rows of identical signboards on the side illuminating their cheeks.

Suddenly, the light became brighter.

"Anything new?"

Lanqi noticed that new announcements were starting to play on the crystal screen, many of which were about additional rules for this assessment.

It is already eight forty-five, which seems to be a reminder that the assessment will officially begin in fifteen minutes.

"These are additional additional items limited to this assessment, such as bounties, which are initiated by students themselves and provide credit points. On the monthly assessment day, a bounty is offered to those who have grudges against them."

Zestila looked at the sign and said.

Although the school will take 50% as a handling fee, if a student's bounty is extremely high, there will be additional rewards.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Since it is anonymous, it is also an opportunity for revenge.

"Don't worry, Mr. Rocky. Although I am hostile to many students, they won't spend twice their own credits to reward me."

Generally, the reward for a deep hatred is only a few hundred points.

After all, credits are hard-earned.

One hundred credits is a significant amount, enough to drive others to focus on hunting.

Unless a lot of people offer a reward.

Sometimes, strong students will focus more on additional items such as rewards rather than on getting the credits that can be awarded by completing five assessments, and the credit gains may be higher.

“I see.”

Lanqi was thoughtful.

"By the way, teacher, you didn't offend any senior students in school these two days, right?"

Zestila looked at Lanqi's expression, thought about it, and asked calmly.

"Zestila..."

Lanqi seemed to realize the problem immediately. "When the exam starts, I will protect you even if the whole world is against you."

He said with a serious look.

“I don’t want to be an enemy of the whole world.”

Zestilar said in confusion.

But she had just finished speaking.

Next second.

She saw the clearly visible photo of the person at the top of the bounty list on every magic crystal bulletin board that lit up in the corridor.

And its reward information——

[Reward: Zestila Lilom (Servant: Rocky McCarthy)]

【Total amount: 135655 credit points】

[Since this total has set a new record for the monthly assessment day bounty, the reward will be supplemented with pink sacred grade magic cards from the ancient collection of the Protoss Royal School of Magic.]

[If the person being rewarded successfully completes the assessment, he or she will receive credits equal to 20% of the total reward and a pink sacred grade ancient treasure of his or her choice.]

Zestila: “???”

Huh? Did something go wrong?

Why does she feel like the whole school wants her dead? !
