Generally speaking, an ordinary Skeleton Warrior summon can only summon three to four Skeleton Warriors.
Moreover, formal wizards usually need to chant spells to cast spells, but Professor Ivan was able to do it instantly and summoned ten skeleton warriors at a time. This made Richard guess that as a necromancer who specialized in skeleton summoning, this might not be Professor Ivan's limit.
Since ten skeleton warriors were summoned at once, the first round was extremely fast.
A batch of ten people went to ten rings to fight the Skeleton Warriors, while Professor Ivan closed his eyes and meditated on the stage. Maybe in his eyes, if a freshman didn't even pass the first round, it was not worth his attention!
"Damn it! I was almost able to defeat the Skeleton Warrior in front of me!" A freshman walked off the ring and said angrily, his clenched fists full of unwillingness!
"Haha, I won, I actually won! This is a Skeleton Warrior with the strength of a formal knight! I actually won!" A freshman seemed to have defeated the Skeleton Warrior in front of him with difficulty, and cried with joy!
"Fuck! William is still so strong! He killed the Skeleton Warrior in one move!"
"Oh my! Look at Davos's momentum, he seems to have been promoted to a full-fledged knight! Wow, he killed the skeleton warrior with just three moves, amazing!"
"Wow! Killed instantly with one arrow, who is this person?" a freshman asked in surprise.
"That's Richard. You were not here last time, and he easily killed Davos in the duel!" A freshman next to him introduced him.
"Was that an instant kill? Davos said that it was Richard's sneak attack! And this time Davos was promoted to an official knight, Richard is probably in trouble!" The other person seemed to be a die-hard fan of Davos.
"."
Although it was only the first round, nearly 30% of the freshmen were eliminated.
Seeing many freshmen walking down the stage with their heads down, Richard knew that they had lost the qualification to compete for the rewards of the subsequent qualifying competitions, and at the same time, they had also lost the priority to choose a spouse among the freshmen of the Ignis School!
The latter was more depressing than the former!
As the last batch of freshmen walked down the stage, the first round officially ended. A total of ninety-eight people passed the first round of assessments, which was about the same as Richard expected. The elimination rate was not high, only about 30%.
At this time, a third-level wizard apprentice walked to the front of the stage and announced loudly: "Now we will start the second round. Defeat the combination of Skeleton Warriors, Skeleton Guardians, and Skeleton Archers within one minute. Those who pass will be rated as excellent in the semi-annual assessment and will be qualified to compete in the qualifying round!"
Suddenly, Professor Ivan opened his eyes and said, "The Ignis School emphasizes actual combat, so whether you have learned zero-level magic or not, no matter how poor your wizard qualifications are, these are not important. What is important is that you can defeat the enemy in front of you!
Only by defeating the enemy can we move on!
Therefore, if you cannot defeat the combination of Skeleton Warrior, Skeleton Guardian and Skeleton Archer, you will not be eligible for the next round of qualifying!
This means that you will miss a precious opportunity to obtain magic stones, potions and even witchcraft props!
If you want to participate again, you have to wait half a year!"
Many of the people who had passed the first round had already started to back off when they heard about the Undead trio, and quite a few wanted to give up directly because they had just barely managed to deal with a skeleton warrior in the first round.
Now they have to deal with a combination of three undead creatures with long-range and close combat capabilities. The difficulty has increased dramatically, and they immediately shook their heads in their hearts!
But after listening to Professor Ivan's speech, the young people's blood suddenly boiled, and they were eager to try. They all felt that the professor was right. If they didn't even have the courage to try, how could they continue on the path of wizards!
Professor Ivan waved his hand, and the ten skeleton warriors disappeared on the spot. Then he silently chanted a spell, and suddenly, an inverted pentagram magic circle of almost the same size as the last time appeared in the center of the venue, but the structure seemed to be different from the last magic circle.
In an instant, a total of three groups of undead creatures were summoned, each group consisting of a skeleton warrior, a skeleton guard with a sword and shield, and a skeleton archer with a bow and arrow.
Like the Skeleton Warriors, the Skeleton Guardians and Skeleton Archers were also fully armored and well-armed!
Professor Ivan, dressed in a black robe, took a list from the Level 3 Wizard Apprentice who recorded the last round of assessments. The list contained everyone's details, and he read slowly, "The second round of assessments begins. The first one is Miguel Regan!"
It seems that the second round has aroused some interest in Professor Ivan. He stopped resting his eyes and started to host it himself!
At this time, a thin boy walked out from the crowd of students. He saluted Professor Ivan, then walked onto the stage a little nervously. Perhaps he did not expect that he would be the first to undergo the second round of assessment.
The thin young man, wearing leather armor, with a sword on his waist, holding a crossbow and a shield, looking at his appearance, you can tell that he is most likely a commoner!
Because most of the noble heirs will have several sets of equipment, such as the strongest plate armor set, the compromise chain mail set, the thick leather armor hunting suit and the light armor hunting suit, etc. When facing the undead trio, they will definitely choose the plate armor set to minimize the attack of the skeleton archers.
The thin young man came on stage, took a deep breath, raised his shield and crossbow, and took a defensive posture.
The battle then began, and as expected, with the support of the skeleton archers, the thin boy's crossbow arrows failed to hit the skeleton warrior's vital points for two consecutive shots.
In less than five seconds, the Skeleton Warriors and Skeleton Guardians approached him at the same time, and he was immediately defeated under the attack!
If Professor Ivan hadn't stopped immediately, he would have been killed on the spot in the next second!
After Miguel Regan, another four students were defeated by the Undead Trio. At this time, many students in the crowd could not help but watch and started whispering.
"That Waden Cortez is quite powerful. He has even mastered the zero-level witchcraft of slowness, but he still failed. The difficulty is too high!" complained a fat student.
"Yeah, I guess there's no hope for me! I can only be a spectator!" A freshman next to him felt the same way.
"It's too hard to get a ticket to the qualifying round. By the way, do you think it's possible that only a few people will enter the competition, and there won't even be ten people! Wouldn't that disappoint the school? Haha!" A freshman said with a bit of gloating, and it seemed that he hoped that all the freshmen would be wiped out!
"Disappointed? Serves you right! Who made the school set the second round so difficult! This is equivalent to defeating three official knights. We have only been here for half a year. Isn't this embarrassing!" Another freshman said unwillingly.
"."
Since seven or eight freshmen failed to make it through the second round, and some students were whispering in the audience, the black-robed wizard Professor Ivan's face gradually turned pale, and his tone became increasingly low and serious as he read out the names: "Next, Andrea Johnson!"
Richard saw a familiar figure slowly walking out of the crowd and approaching the ring step by step.
