The candidates who passed the first two rounds of assessment were called to the front of the arena.
Duan Qingxi counted carefully and found that there were at least forty or fifty candidates who passed the second round in the East College. He just didn't know whether there were so many in other colleges.
Since it wasn't their turn yet, Duan Qingxi looked at Ye Ling and whispered, "Ye Ling, if we don't pass the assessment at East College, can we still go to other colleges?"
Ye Ling said, "No, the four major colleges are called four colleges, but in fact they are a whole. They are both competitors and partners. If we fail to get into the East College, the other three colleges will definitely get the news and won't accept us. After all, if the East College doesn't want us, it means we are not strong enough, or we have offended the East College."
There are so many candidates, and it is a process of survival of the fittest. Moreover, if a candidate is good enough, no college will be willing to give up on him. If he is not accepted, it means that he is not good enough. If he is not good enough and has no family background, who would care about him?
Duan Qingxi originally thought that it was not possible, but just asked with a fluke mentality. When he heard him say that, he just said "Oh".
Yun Ting was standing behind them. Upon hearing this, he whispered to Duan Qingxi, "Don't worry, Le'er. If you don't pass the exam, I won't go there either!"
Hearing what he said, Duan Qingxi looked at him with disdain.
How dare this guy say such a thing?
Who has a higher chance of failing the exam?
Yun Ting seemed to have realized what was happening, and his face suddenly turned red and he dared not speak anymore.
Because they were at the back of the line, Yun Ting couldn't see clearly what was going on in front of him, so he poked Ye Ling, who was in front of him, and asked, "Hey, what are we doing now?"
Ye Ling replied, "We're drawing lots. We're going to compete later, so we need to draw lots to choose our opponents."
"ah?"
Yun Ting was dumbfounded and said, "Then if I draw Le'er, then won't I have to fight Le'er?"
Doesn't that mean that only one of them can be selected?
Hearing this, Ye Ling smiled and said, "No, the competition is not with other candidates who have registered, but with some magical beasts raised in the academy."
Yun Ting breathed a sigh of relief, but then his brows knitted again. Warcraft...
But then, he seemed to remember something and said, "That's not right. I remember asking the waiter before, and he didn't say he was fighting against Warcraft..."
At this point, Ye Ling's expression suddenly grew serious. He glanced around and whispered to him, "This is because one year, a student beat another student to death. This incident became quite serious. Furthermore, another year, many students were forced to lose to the children of aristocratic families. This became public knowledge, so the deans of the four major colleges decided to simply have the students fight monsters. This was considered a way to hone the students. This has only been happening for the past year or two..."
After hearing this, Duan Qingxi and Yun Ting suddenly understood.
However, in the eyes of many people, fighting against Warcraft is indeed better than fighting against people. After all, there are mentors present, and they will not watch them being beaten to death by Warcraft.
The only downside is that Warcraft is too powerful, and I'm afraid many people are no match for it.
Duan Qingxi wasn't worried about herself. After all, she and Yun Ting weren't even afraid of high-level monsters. But Ye Ling and the others...
Ye Ling thought they were worried about drawing a powerful monster, so he explained, "Don't worry, they're usually low-level monsters. As long as you're careful, you won't get hurt. Even if you can't defeat them, the instructors will help you in time. Over the years, there has never been a case of a monster killing anyone in a competition."
Injuries are inevitable, but you can only blame yourself for not having learned enough. Moreover, only in this way can the candidates recognize their own status.
Duan Qingxi nodded and breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
But for some reason, she was still a little worried, always feeling that things were not that simple.
Soon it was their turn to draw lots, and they drew some serial numbers.
Duan Qingxi and Yun Ting drew number 1, while Ye Ling and the others drew number 2.
Because they all drew the same number, they were quite happy.
Yunting has a cheerful personality, so after registering, he took the number plate and went to look for other people to see if there was anyone with the same number as them.
Half a minute later, Yun Ting came back with a gloomy face.
Duan Qingxi saw this and asked, "What's wrong?"
At this moment, Ye Xun and Bai Zichuan, who had also gone to look for the people who had drawn the same number, also came back, and they also looked unhappy.
Yun Ting said, "I always feel like we were deliberately plotted against. I asked a lot of people, and no one except you and me drew number one."
Ye Xun also spoke up, "It's the same here. Aside from the few of us who drew number 2, everyone else drew numbers 3, 4, 5, and 6. There were also a few who drew number 789. However, the candidates who received number 789 are all from aristocratic families in Lingdu. According to past practice, the monsters they drew are usually easy to deal with..."
Before he could finish his words, Duan Qingxi frowned and asked, "Are you saying... that the number plates we drew might represent extremely difficult monsters? Someone is deliberately targeting us and preventing us from getting into the four major colleges?"
Ye Xun nodded, and then everyone's faces became even uglier.
Ye Ling was indeed the eldest brother. After hearing the news, he showed no signs of panic or anxiety. Instead, he comforted Ye Xun and the others, saying, "It's okay. We should just make the best of it. If it really is a very difficult monster to deal with, it's because we are not as skilled as others. We can't blame others."
Bai Zichuan muttered, "But this isn't fair. Why do the children of the noble families only draw easy-to-deal-with monsters, while we draw the most difficult ones?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Ling looked at him disapprovingly and said, "Zichuan, you can't think like that. The lottery is not something we can decide. Even if someone deliberately plotted against us, it's because we're not strong enough. We can't blame others for plotting against us. The weak are the weak and the strong prey on each other. If we are strong enough, no matter how others plot against us, it will be useless."
Hearing this, Bai Zichuan's expression also became serious, "Yes! Big brother is right! Zichuan understands!"
Duan Qingxi watched from the side and admired Ye Ling even more.
At this moment, Yun Ting quietly pulled Duan Qingxi aside and asked in a low voice, "Le'er, do you have any ideas?"
Duan Qingxi knew that he wanted to help Ye Ling and the others, but he strongly disagreed.
"Yun Ting, I know you want to help them, but this kind of help is meaningless. Think about it, if they can't deal with these monsters and enter the academy openly, then how will they deal with others who harass them in the future? I can't help them forever, and Ye Ling also understands this truth. In this era of the survival of the fittest, only by making yourself strong can no one dare to bully you. Relying on others' help alone will not work."
