Evaluation rules

When Yohan saw that the new login task was linked to this assessment, he immediately stopped thinking about it and turned his attention to examiner Serkis, waiting for him to announce the assessment rules.

Meanwhile, Serkis climbed the high platform, cleared his throat, and then spoke.

"Well, now let's explain the rules of the assessment!"

"Passing the basic test for the first level means that the basic ability to absorb [Reiryoku] of all the present Quincy professors has been cleared!"

"The minimum is also at the level of the Dreck."

"With the foundation, the next assessment is the ability to survive!"

"Only by surviving on the battlefield can we serve His Majesty Yhwach!"

"What does that mean?"

Here is a question from the Quincy lord.

"There are two rules!"

"First!"

"At the end of the arena, there are five mountains!"

"The goal of our Third Unit is the Third Mountain. On the mountain, there is a [Semi-Knight] medal!"

"Before the fifth hour, those who go to the top of the mountain and successfully carry the medal will pass the assessment and be awarded the title of [Semi-Knight]!"

"So, you only have five hours!"

As he said this, a cheerful smile appeared on Serkis' face.

"There is no limit to this process, as long as you don't kill anyone, you are allowed to do anything!"

"Of course, to avoid boredom during the journey, we have placed countless Reiatsu-attracted monsters!"

"This type of Menos Grande monster has no intelligence, but it is highly sensitive to spiritual particles!"

"As long as there is a flow of spiritual particles, whether it's the sacred arrow or Hirenkyaku, it will be attracted and bite!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone changed slightly.

The basic ability of the Quincy is to absorb [Reiryoku], and all the means depend on the absorbed spiritual particles.

This means that in the entire process, if any action is taken, won't it be a target for the spiritual monster?

Although you can kill the spiritual child monsters with the sacred arrow, every time you absorb [Reiryoku], more spiritual child monsters will be attracted, forming a vicious cycle.

Thinking about this, everyone felt a chill.

Who came up with the assessment rules?

But in reality, the really frightening thing has not yet come.

"Next, the second rule!"

"The second rule!"

With a smile on his face, Serkis quietly took the bait out of his pocket.

There was a Quincy lord below who was well aware of what it was, so he could only speak.

"Is this... a Hollow?"

When he heard this, Serkis smiled.

"Yes, this is the Hollow of course, in this [Invisible Empire], there is no Hollow!"

"However, it also has the same effect on Menos Grande monsters, and can attract them, just like this."

After the words fell, Serkis constructed the virtual bait on top of the sacred arrow and immediately fired it.

The flying sacred arrow landed in the open space after a distance of 100 meters, and in a moment, many dense blue Menos Grande monsters appeared in the distance, rushing frantically towards the Hollow.

Seeing this scene, the expressions of all the Quincy lords sank.

With this large number of monsters, if they are besieged in this way, who will be able to survive?

"And before you set off, each of you must take a Hollow with you."

Serkis' voice lowered.

The faces of all the present Quincy professors have completely changed.

"What!?"

"How can that be!"

"Take the Hollow and retrieve the medal while being chased by the Menos Grande monster. Is this an assessment? This is pure murder!"

Before that, some people thought that if they just ran without using Hirenkyaku, they would not be attacked by the monster. Now it seems that there is no loophole in the rules that can be exploited.

Someone took the lead in protesting, and soon many Quincy residents below began to join them, and finally the voice became louder and stronger.

Because this task, in their view, is completely impossible to accomplish, and they will definitely die halfway.

At this moment.

Serkis' face turned cold, and he raised his hand and fired an arrow. He shot directly at the Quincy who was leading the shouting on the ground, until he fell lifeless.

"This man is unfit for the assessment!"

In an instant, silence reigned over the entire audience.

Seeing this, Serkis sneered.

"This is recruitment, the recruitment of knight soldiers who attack the [Spiritual World]!"

"The [Spiritual Association] will show no mercy for your protests!"

"There are many ways to pass the level.

Hirenkyaku is fast enough, and spiritual monsters can't catch up with you at all.

Your bloody equipment [Blut] is strong enough, and it can't even penetrate the defense.

Your sacred arrow is strong and fast enough.

How many times will you come?

You can shoot and kill the spiritual monsters, and even your basic ability to absorb [Reiryoku] is enough to directly loot the spiritual particles of the monsters!

"If you can't do that, it means you're not strong enough, and you're not qualified to join the [Sternritter]!"

"[Sternritter] doesn't need trash. This kind of trash will die on the battlefield sooner or later after joining the [Knights]. Now, any objections?"

As soon as Serkis finished speaking, silence reigned for a moment.

Everyone shook their heads one by one, and dared not say more.

"Very good!"

"You all know the rules. As for the Hollow, there are two restrictive conditions!"

"First, Hollow cannot be snatched, and second, you can dispose of the Hollow yourself!"

"The qualified criterion is to return the medal smoothly within the specified time."

"However, if someone brings the Hollow and the medal at the same time, the person who did not bring the bait will be eliminated!"

"The assessment starts now, and those who want to set off can gather the virtual bait themselves."

After finishing his speech, Serkis returned to his seat in the assessment room, sat quietly, sipped his coffee, and watched all this.

Note: This chapter caused me pain in my head due to the existence of the Hollow.
