Chapter 113 Summoning and Decision
Two days passed.
Midterm exams were held on time with many different emotions.
The first-year Storm Sea newcomers had experience in taking exams twice, so they finally didn’t make too much noise this time.
The exam process went very smoothly, but the difficulty of the questions became increasingly abnormal.
After it was over, there were still sporadic sighs and sighs.
Hmm...
Link didn't realize whether he was a pervert or not. He only learned about this argument after listening to their discussions.
At night.
Results will be out soon.
Experimental building, three underground floors, laboratory.
Link, Jasmine, Buck, Ezio, Deejay, Linn, and Dalton sat around the long desk, looking at the huge screen of the smart computer on the desk, waiting quietly.
As steady as Link, he is also looking forward to the results of this midterm exam.
It's just that what he looks forward to is not his own results, but his ranking.
He wanted to know among the first 30 people who qualified to participate in the two-district competition, apart from the 7 people on his side, who among the remaining people could be regarded as potential partners.
For Link, in a struggle where there is a huge disparity in the number of enemies between us and 30 vs. 1000+, it is common sense to unite all the forces that can be united.
Soon, four posts were updated on the college's "official website", announcing the midterm exam results for the four grades.
Don't worry about the second, third and fourth graders.
Clicking on the first-grade midterm results and rankings list,
Link quickly scanned the top thirty names from top to bottom, then pursed his lips with a subtle expression.
This time the first place is still not him, it is still Lanny Taylor.
Moreover, the scores of the two are exactly the same!
What is this called?
The heroes see the same thing, so the points deducted for incorrect questions are also the same?
In addition, the academy really took wizard qualifications into consideration when ranking, and it valued this very much.
Not even a tie for first place for Link!
It's really a bit too much.
"Why is it like this again!"
Jasmine discovered this and couldn't help but get angry. She stood up suddenly, her tone full of resentment.
If this happened to her, she might not think it was a big deal.
But it happened to Link twice in succession, instantly breaking her defense!
"Forget it, don't be angry. His qualifications are better than mine. This is a fact."
Link shook his head slightly at Jasmine and smiled to comfort her.
Jasmine took a deep breath, suppressed the recent fluctuations in emotions, and sat back on the chair.
But his face was still a little gloomy.
"You all did very well in the exam and deserve congratulations."
Link looked at the five friends and said seriously, "You have all maintained their rankings and did not fall out of the top ten, which is very good!"
Jasmine improved by one more this time, ranking first. In the fourth.
This is the reward for her hard work and study.
The five friends stayed put and firmly occupied the six to ten positions.
The third ranked person is Eli Tomani, a fifth-level genius with mid-level qualifications that the "Sail Alliance" has spent a lot of effort to recruit into the alliance.
This person's grades have always been good, and he has been in the top five in three consecutive exams.
But he is also greedy for entertainment and enjoyment, and often goes to entertainment venues in the college.
Isko Alex from the "New Blood Mutual Aid Association" ranked fifth, a bit shabby, and not worthy of being a veteran apprentice organization for decades.
Eleven to thirty people, there are quite a few people from the "New Blood Mutual Aid Association", eight in total.
Among the other twelve people, nine have joined the apprentice organization.
Only three of them were loners, people that Link could unite with.
What?
A member of the "New Blood Mutual Aid Association"?
Link only accepted the funding from the Paro Wizard and had no intention of getting involved with the "New Blood Mutual Aid Association".
Apart from conflicts, there is no other relationship between him and the "New Blood Mutual Aid Association".
Not to mention uniting the members of the other party, I just hope that they can not hold back and affect the bet between Wizard Paro and Wizard Peter Lionel.
After reading the list of 30 people, Link motioned to Buck, Ezio, Dick, and Lin to go back first.
Jasmine was left alone.
"Is there something you want to say?"
Jasmine asked softly after the five friends had left.
Link nodded: "There is indeed something."
He organized his words: "This competition between the two districts is related to the bet between the wizard Paro and the wizard Peter Lionel. The prize is Percy the Sage. Diamond and Percy's Sage's Rod.
I later searched for information and learned their value.
Very expensive, very rare, and very important!
But it was also very trivial to use it as the prize for this bet. There was obviously something else going on.
But no matter what No matter what, whether it is Wizard Paro or Wizard Peter Lionel, they are bound to win.
Since in order to win the bet and legitimately take away the winnings from the other side, both sides restrained themselves before the competition between the two areas. The intention to cause trouble.
Then, during the competition between the two districts, there will definitely be a very fierce competition.
We have already been involved in it, and this cannot be changed.
But we must not get further involved in the Paro Wizard and Peter Leone. In the battle between wizards.
Just keep dragging on the invitation from wizard Ella from the 'New Blood Mutual Aid Association'."
Wizard Ella's threats, coupled with the rectification of the "New Blood Mutual Aid Association"'s style in the past two months, have achieved relatively ideal results.
It's just that the time given to her was not enough, and she usually had to work in a pharmacy, so the rectification of her style was not thorough enough.
There is a lot less chaos, but people are still impetuous.
Even with repeated orders, some people still couldn't help but have the idea of Lanny Taylor.
Jasmine received several invitations to return to the "New Blood Mutual Aid Association". After learning about this situation, she declined them all politely.
However, it is completely foreseeable that in order to compete with the "Pure Blood Will" of the North District, the "New Blood Mutual Aid Association" will not be able to keep Jasmine, who once joined it, away from home.
I will definitely try to find a way to bring her back in the next two days.
Link meant that Jasmine should strengthen her faith and not be easily shaken.
Participating in a bet as an individual and participating as a member of the "New Blood Mutual Aid Association" are completely different in nature.
"I know how to deal with it, don't worry."
Jasmine showed a sincerely happy smile on her face, but did not give a definite answer.
When Link saw this, he stopped trying to persuade him.
Ever since that day she witnessed the pain and numbness of the "workers" in the South District factory, heard the news of Chris's death, Christina's situation, and vaguely guessed Jimny's predicament, Jasmine became more mature day by day.
He no longer acts coquettishly, and no longer often does childish actions, such as walking behind and tugging on his sleeves, or reaching out his little hands to secretly touch Link's chest muscles... He is
more self-reliant, independent, and assertive.
This is a good thing.
Link was also happy with Jasmine's changes and progress.
However, in recent times, Jasmine has vaguely revealed her intention to join the "New Blood Mutual Aid Association".
After Wizard Ella specifically talked to Jasmine.
Link didn't know what Wizard Ella said, but something touched Jasmine.
However, he believed that the "New Blood Mutual Aid Association" was just a trap and there was no need to step into it.
Not only will they not get any help, they will also easily get into trouble.
You see, Wizard Ella has resigned from the position of president for several years, been promoted to a formal wizard, and graduated from a high-level academy. It is the time to launch an attack on a higher stage. Why not be called back to rectify the ineffective "New Blood Mutual Aid Association", which is a huge waste. Take the time?
After expressing what he meant and hearing Jasmine's reply, Link no longer planned to pay attention to this matter.
Again.
Live your own life and make your own decisions.
Everyone is responsible for their own choices.
Jasmine thought for a while and said seriously: "Don't worry, Link, I'm not that stupid."
Link pursed his lips slightly, smiled, and did not reply.
It was rare for the two to disagree on one thing.
In a rather strange atmosphere, the two left the laboratory and returned to their dormitories.
The next day.
Link received the summons notice early.
Around eight o'clock in the morning, the sun was shining brightly.
Administrative building, a conference room on the fifth floor.
Wizard Paro sat in the main seat, with a row of people standing five steps away in front of him, a total of 12 people.
All 12 first-year Storm Sea new bloods who participated in the bet on his behalf are here.
"I have only one request for you."
Wizard Paro glanced over from left to right, raised his right index finger, and said in a low and serious voice, "That is to unite sincerely and strive for first place." As he
said that, his face became very stern, His tone was even more laced with the flavor of blood and fire.
"I know that some of you have conflicts and even hatred with each other. But!
However, whether it is conflicts or hatred, you have to let me go!
If anyone dares to ruin my affairs because of personal conflicts, don't blame me for not warning you in advance. you!"
Everyone was trembling with fear under the increasingly strong pressure emanating from the Paro wizard, and did not even dare to express their anger.
After listening to the instruction, he quickly shouted: "Yes!"
Link was no exception.
Just follow the crowd and don't look special.
After a brief lecture, the Paro wizard waved his hand and signaled to leave.
Link and Jasmine walked to the door and were called back alone.
This is a treatment that members of the "New Blood Mutual Aid Association" including Lanie Taylor do not have.
The look in their eyes towards Link and Jasmine became even more different.
"What's going on?"
Paro wizard Tuotou asked.
Of course Link knew what Wizard Paro was asking and was preparing a word for his answer.
Jasmine jumped in front and said, "Wizard Paro, it's me who doesn't want to return to the 'New Blood Mutual Aid Association', it has nothing to do with Link." "Huh?" Wizard Paro's eyes moved slightly and he glanced sideways at
Jasmine
.
Endless momentum and pressure surged towards Jasmine like a mountain, as if they were going to beat her to pieces.
In this regard, Wizard Paro deliberately restrained himself.
Jasmine's face suddenly turned pale, without any blood.
But she shook her lips hard, and even though she bit her lip and a trace of blood flowed to her chin, she persisted and did not change her words.
Link did not act rashly, replacing Jasmine with himself to bear the pressure.
"Give me a reason." A
trace of satisfaction that no one could detect quickly flashed in his eyes. The Paro wizard calmed down his momentum and asked coldly.
Jasmine shook her body a few times and managed to stand without falling. She breathed a sigh of relief.
She took a deep breath, adjusted her breath, and immediately replied: "It's too messy. There is no benefit in going back now, and it will waste time." "
Yeah."
Wizard Paro made a sound from his nasal cavity and waved Link and Jasmine away.
It seemed that he actually didn't care at all about whether Jasmine returned to the "New Blood Mutual Aid Association" or not, he just asked casually and dealt with it.
Link and Jasmine bowed and walked out of the conference room.
With her lips squirming a few times, Jasmine wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to say it.
She wanted to explain the reasons for her repeated relapses and why she had taken advantage of the chaos to join the "New Blood Mutual Aid Association", but some words were difficult to say.
After hesitating for a long time, Jasmine sighed quietly and settled on this idea.
So be it.
That’s it anyway.
