Chapter 53 Defeat the Magical Rats
"It turns out to be a rat-beating test. What a simple test."
The girl who chose the golden scorpion as her 'partner' stepped forward and looked down at the scene below. She was wearing a golden dress. The gold here was not a metaphor, but meant that her dress was sewn with gold thread and silk, like flowing gold, with a style of vulgarity and elegance.
"The test begins!"
After the order was given, the blocking door was pulled up, and a golden scorpion entered the field. It was still facing two magic rats. Compared with the previous wolf cubs, the golden scorpion was much smaller in size and might even be inferior to the magic rats in terms of strength.
However, these 'partners' all had their own unique skills and abilities.
"Boring illusion. Clark, use 'Golden Armor'!" The girl above waved her hand, and the golden scorpion below rushed over, and the surface of its body was flowing with the luster of metal, becoming hard.
Facing the small golden scorpion, the two phantom mice were aroused and rushed over, knocking the golden scorpion over and biting it. However, the golden shell blocked its teeth and did not cause any effective damage.
"Now, use the 'stinger'!"
After hearing the order from above, the golden scorpion below waved its flashing poisonous tail and stabbed it into the nose of the phantom mouse that bit it. Soon, the phantom mouse twitched all over and died of bleeding from the mouth and nose.
The second phantom mouse also attacked in the same way. After being poisoned, it fell down quickly. The whole battle process was extremely easy.
"Amazing." The retest students below commented.
"How did she get these commands? It was clearly not in the manual. There were only some basic commands."
"Perhaps, this is a potential test. Think about it. Since the manual says 'basic commands', the subtext is that there are 'standard commands' or even 'complex commands' that have not been given." A student who is good at analysis pushed his glasses.
"I see. I thought that since it is a supernatural creature, it must have more skills than simple 'attack' and 'defense'."
"But how do I know what skills my 'companion' has? It can't speak."
"Well, I'm afraid we can only explore on our own. For example, a scorpion can use its poisonous tail, which is normal."
The students talked about it. After the demonstration of the first two students, the students who followed slowly tried various commands and commanded their 'companions' to defeat the phantom rats.
Some students quickly mastered the tricks and commanded their 'companions' to defeat the phantom rats one by one. Some students could not understand the 'companions' below even if they issued commands, perhaps because they did not know the skills they were talking about. Some students, although they understood the abilities of their 'companions', still had difficulty cooperating.
"Don't run away. It's okay, Xiaobai. That's a little mouse. You can defeat it." A girl in a pink dress anxiously spoke to the white cat below, but the cat still fled around in panic, with no intention of obeying.
The audience around them found this scene funny and pitiful, but there was nothing they could do.
In the end, because the eight minutes were up, the girl had to face the result of failing the assessment.
"Although she is a very cute and gentle girl, she is still too weak." A senior student from Iridium Academy commented.
"Gentleness is not a bad thing, but being gentle without any bottom line and giving in made the white cat feel that even if she disobeyed orders, she would not be blamed or punished. So when it came to the critical moment, she simply ignored her words."
"Alas, she is a good child, but this habit is really bad."
"Let's see the next one."
Before the battle, Heshia put the little snake in her hand into the paper box for entering the battlefield, comforted it a few words, and then walked onto the high platform of the battlefield.
"North District 7, Heshia." After a brief report of the name, the assessment began.
The passageway on the opposite side opened, releasing two hungry phantom mice. The passageway below also brought a cardboard box to the field and opened it, releasing the indigo snake inside.
"This girl's 'partner' is a snake, which is a bit rare."
"It should be poisoned again. It's easy for a poisonous snake to eat a mouse."
"It's different. Wasn't there a white cat being chased by a mouse just now? Bloodline suppression is not that big for extraordinary creatures."
"Wait and see."
In the field, two phantom mice shook their gray and white hair, and their bodies suddenly grew larger. Then they locked their eyes on the swimming blue and white snake and rushed over.
Faced with these two 'huge' and aggressive phantom mice, the snake below was also panicked for a while, turned around and fled, trying to find a place to hide.
Looking at its panicked appearance, Heshia did not speak, but watched silently, and such behavior surprised the audience around.
"Is she not giving any orders?"
"Perhaps snakes are hard to tame and obey, so she just lets them go?"
Avoiding would be fruitless, but it would be too difficult for the panicked indigo snake to fight back at this moment, the girl thought silently in her heart, and then looked at the rotating timer. There was still plenty of time, and everything had just begun.
The battle field was not large. After several chases, the two phantom mice bit the indigo snake's body, and the pain made the little guy thrash.
"Now, 'Flash Scale'!" Heshia finally issued the first order.
Helpless and without a way to retreat, the indigo snake accepted the order almost reflexively, and a dazzling light bloomed on its scales. The high light at such a close distance also made the pupils of the two phantom mice burn and hurt. Taking advantage of the moment when the
phantom mouse was in pain and had no time to care about other things, the indigo snake broke free, and the close combat and flash just now also made the phantom mouse's illusion lose its effect. Facing the phantom mouse that was not much bigger than itself, the indigo snake suddenly became courageous.
"Wrap around, 'strangle'!" The second order was delivered immediately.
With the positive feedback of the first order, the indigo snake responded to the order more quickly. It quickly wrapped around the mouse, and then continued to tighten the mouse's neck, gradually suffocating it.
But after the pain in the mouse's pupils gradually dissipated, the mouse on the other side bit the snake again with blurred vision, but the burning sensation in its mouth forced it to give up this behavior immediately and escape.
Time passed slowly. After strangling a mouse, the indigo snake released it, and then, under Heshia's instructions, rushed to another mouse, and finally completed the task before the timer ended.
"Heshia, pass!"
Hearing the voice of the staff, Heshia on the high platform also let go of the tension in her heart and breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she believed that she could command the little guy below well, the indigo snake's attack method was still too slow. If the time was tighter, the assessment might end before she could kill the second mouse.
She had to do something, otherwise she might fail the next assessment. She silently estimated in her heart, then walked off the stage, came to the exit, picked up the little snake that swam out, and fed it a few pieces of food.
