Chapter 44 Chapter 44
The mid-year competition is usually divided into two groups, and students can choose to participate in either track.
After all, there are many categories of superpowers, and not every superpower user can go to the battlefield and kill everyone.
Therefore, these two tracks, one is prepared for students with strong combat power, and the other is prepared for students with auxiliary reconnaissance abilities.
The former is a classic round-robin plus knockout tournament. Lan Yi and the "ignorant" Li Ke chose this track last time.
The latter is more special, combining holographic technology with fantasy powers, providing a variety of scenarios for participating students to choose from and complete scenario events. The final score is determined by the scores given by the system and the referee.
This was the track Xi Siling chose last time.
After all, they are completely different tracks, and the scoring criteria are also different, so the rankings of the two groups will not be added together.
There are fifteen students in Class 1 of Grade 2, and the mid-year competition is attended by the entire school, which naturally includes the Grade 3 students who will graduate in the first half of next year.
The students all breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it should not be difficult to get into the top 20 in each track.
Thank you Teacher Xishan for not killing me.
Unexpectedly, the teacher changed the subject.
"With two tracks, the top 20 should also be divided into two groups. In addition to the elimination round system, the top eight in the combat group and the top twelve in the non-combat group should be divided into two groups. How do you think?"
I knew that Teacher Xishan was definitely not so kind!!!
Although the non-combat group has four more students than the combat group, more people choose this track! More than two-thirds of the students choose the non-combat group.
Everyone knows whether their own strength has reached the top, so they just compete in the non-combat group and come up with various tricks every year.
This is why the subjective scoring of the referee is very important, in order to prevent some people from taking shortcuts.
Not focusing on combat does not mean that combat is unnecessary. In situational events, everything needs to be considered. Instead, comprehensive ability is emphasized. Without sufficient strength, it is difficult to get high scores.
"Teacher! What will happen if I don't get in?"
A warrior raised his hand and asked this question. Xishan laughed several times, "Guess?"
Grass.
It's a bit scary. Compared to Teacher Xishan directly saying that the final exam is a failure, this "guess" is more powerful.
Now I don't want to guess at all, they don't want to know.
However, it has no impact on Xi Siling and the other two. After all, their goal this year is to enter the Lingyan class. Even if they are not in the top three, they must at least be in the top five.
There seems to be no difference.
Li Ke and Lan Yi were both under a lot of pressure. After Xi Siling's ability evolved, they needed to work even harder to obtain that difficult qualification.
After class, everyone started discussing it.
Classmates are also opponents in the mid-year competition, and the most important thing is to figure out which track each other has chosen.
However, no one came to ask Lan Yi and Xi Siling. After all, their abilities were extremely biased in a certain sense.
But Li Ke is a bit special. Just looking at his supernatural powers, everyone would think that he chose the non-combat group, but last time he chose the combat group.
At the beginning, Li Ke made it into the top 16 very easily with his ability to control time, but the other students here were no pushovers either.
One of the third-year seniors, after discovering Li Ke's special abilities, successfully brought the undefeated Li Ke down from the "pedestal". In the end, Li Ke only made it to the top 16.
If the ranking hadn't been so bad, he might have already entered the Lingyan class.
Of course, one year of growth gave Li Ke enough confidence. He believed that he would not lose even if he faced that senior again.
"So which track are you going to choose this time?"
Xi Siling asked with great interest, Li Ke in his 'previous life' still chose the combat group in this grade, but he was unlucky and met Lan Yi in the quarterfinals, so he unfortunately stopped in the quarterfinals.
Lan Yi met his senior from freshman year in the semi-finals, but failed to break through himself and was defeated again.
For both of them, it was a double failure of luck and strength, and also another blow in their life journey.
In Xi Siling's track, both the effect of the supernatural power itself and his personal ability were close to perfect, and his comprehensive score made him the first in the non-combat group.
"As for me...I haven't thought about it yet, because I really don't have an advantage on any side."
Li Ke's expression suddenly fell and he became completely depressed.
The goal is definitely the Lingyan class, so he has to show his value as much as possible. Li Ke still lacks confidence in himself.
"How do you know that you have no advantage in the non-combat group?" Xi Siling advised calmly.
However, for Li Ke, the reason why he did not want to choose the non-combat group was also due to this situation.
People with special abilities always have to face the living dead, and most of the situational events are related to this. Even if they know that it is fake, the fear in their hearts will not be reduced in the slightest.
He was afraid of being discovered by the referee, so he didn't want to choose this side.
But Xi Siling felt that Li Ke should also be prepared to face his fear.
If it were the Li Ke of the past, he would definitely find excuses for himself.
For example, he is afraid that he is not smart enough to solve the various events in the scenario, or that his ability is not actually an auxiliary investigation and he cannot leave a good impression on the referee.
But now Li Ke knows the real reason why he wants to escape.
If Brother Lan, 40, and even 77 had successfully entered the Lingyan class, only he would be excluded because of his lack of courage to face the living dead.
Li Ke knew that he would regret it for the rest of his life.
Now that you have chosen the future, you should not dwell on the past.
"I've made up my mind!" Li Ke clenched his fists and encouraged himself in his heart, "I choose the non-combat group. I have to get in even if I risk my life!"
You don't need to look to know that Xi Siling is smiling with relief now. Even if it has nothing to do with the affairs of Lingyan Class, he has to help his friend overcome his fear of the living dead. No one can be with anyone forever, and Xi Siling doesn't want Li Ke to get hurt or even die because of this.
Now only Lan Yi is left.
"Where's 11?"
"Of course I chose the combat team."
Xi Siling shook his head. "That's not what I meant. I meant, if you met the senior who was defeated in the freshman year, have you ever thought about this possibility?"
My friend was stunned for a moment, and it was obvious at a glance that he had never thought of this possibility.
As time goes by, they are not the only ones who improve. The second-year seniors will also make further progress after entering the third year.
A fighting spirit ignited in Lan Yi's heart, and the unwillingness after losing the game in the first grade seemed to come back.
He nodded, "I'll be ready."
There is nothing shameful about losing a game, the important thing is to learn from it.
Don't fall into the same pit twice.
However, even if Lan Yi defeated the senior who once defeated him, he might not be valued by the teachers of Lingyan class.
Xi Siling needs to advance the event of Lan Yi's ability's 'reawakening'.
Time is relatively tight, but Xi Siling will not let anyone fall behind.
Now that they had a clear idea of what was going on, that inexplicable panic disappeared a lot, and the two of them were no longer anxious.
Li Ke supported his chin and said, "I don't know which track 77 will choose. I guess it will be the non-combat group."
"I guess it's the combat team." Lan Yi held the opposite opinion.
The three of them knew that his ability was not that simple, but since Liu Huaqi did not reveal his ability, it must still be the basic [Mist].
"Won't you just ask after school?"
——
"I choose the combat team, senior."
Liuhuaqi replied with a smile.
Li Ke widened his eyes in surprise, then reluctantly threw the milk chocolate he had saved up to buy from the snack cabinet to Lan Yi.
The two of them always bet on the most precious things in the snack cabinet.
"Damn it! I guessed wrong!"
Lan Yi caught it steadily and tore open the package with satisfaction, but in the end he broke it into four parts and shared them with everyone.
"Why is it the combat team?" Li Ke continued to ask unwillingly while chewing the sweet and non-bitter chocolate.
Liuhuaqi took the chocolate and thanked Lan Yi before beginning to explain.
"After all, the senior in the department said that the teachers of Lingyan Class are not entirely determined by the ranking in the year-end competition. I have to show more value."
Just looking at the supernatural power that Liuhuaqi registered with the Institute of Supernatural Power Management, it is a very common but valuable reconnaissance auxiliary power, which is very powerful when used on the battlefield and in scenarios where a large number of zombies need to be exterminated.
But this alone is not enough to qualify him to enter the Lingyan class. After all, he is only 'useful', not 'unique'.
The reason was similar to what Xi Siling had guessed, and he gave Liuhuaqi a thumbs up.
"Come on, you can do it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xi Siling couldn't help yawning again.
Although it was the first time in front of Liu Huaqi, the boy still asked with concern, "Did you not sleep well last night, senior?"
Xi Siling nodded calmly, "It's just a nightmare, it's not a big deal, just go to bed early tonight."
If possible, he hoped Liuhuaqi would not sneak out of school again so that he could have a good sleep.
Good news, Liuhuaqi did not sneak out of school again tonight.
Bad news, he used the credentials to enter another network.
"How about I help you watch over him? You should get some good sleep."
In a sense, Xi Siling and Liuhuaqi are both masters of staying up late. Although they seem to have regular schedules, they can go without sleep for a week when necessary.
This is probably the only thing that office workers and world-destroying villains have in common.
Xi Siling now has no credentials from the other network, and the power of wishes provided by readers has been used on the earrings. It will take some time for the system to create one for him out of thin air.
There will be no danger on the Internet, so Xi Siling should have a good sleep and stop yawning.
When Xi Siling woke up, the first thing he heard was the system's broadcast.
"The new chapter has been updated, please check it out."
Xi Siling suddenly woke up.
The fact that the system didn't wake him up means that at least Liuhuaqi was not in danger, and the comic update shows that something did happen on the alien network last night.
At least for now, this body has not yet gotten used to the effects of staying up all night. He feels a little headache and can only pinch his eyebrows.
I woke up a little late and have to go out for exercise. I don’t know if Liuhuaqi can be used all night.
As for comics, I can only read them during class.
