Chapter 55: Not a Second More, Not a Second Less
"What?"
In the office, a teacher spoke in shock, looking at the middle-aged man with sunglasses in front of him with a short hair in disbelief.
"You want to take over this entrance test?"
"Is there any problem, Teacher Cang Wei?" The man with a short hair smiled and replied calmly.
"No, nothing." Cang Wei wiped the sweat from his forehead, "It's just that I'm worried that if you take charge of the test, you won't be able to keep even half of the 120 students who will take the entrance test this time."
He looked at the man in front of him and muttered in his heart.
This instructor Lian Shou, who is known as the "devil instructor" and is about to retire, was invited back to school by the principal to take charge of the entrance examination nine days later.
I didn't expect him to ask to take over this entrance test at this time.
"Half?" Lian Shou had a strange smile on his face, "Don't you think that the quality of students in the academy has declined recently?"
"Instead of wasting resources on some trash, it is better to reduce the number of admissions and only recruit those who are qualified to become hunters."
Cang Wei was more and more embarrassed, and couldn't help but say: "Our academy only recruits about 100 people every year."
"The students who can take the test are the elites among the elites. Isn't it a bit too much to call them trash?"
"Teacher Cang Wei, you are so stupid." Lian Shou shook his head lightly, showing a disappointed expression, "Don't you find it yet?"
His eyes suddenly became sharp, like a sword ready to go, exuding a burst of compelling breath.
"In the past two years, the actions of the virtual demons have become more and more frequent."
"In the past few years, the number of virtual realms opened in the five countries has doubled, and the casualties of the hunters have also increased."
"So shouldn't we expand enrollment and train more elites?" Cang Wei was very puzzled.
"And let them die?" Lian Shou interrupted him mercilessly.
"In my opinion, people without strength, even if they become hunters, are just dying in vain."
"You..." Cang Wei frowned and wanted to argue again.
"Enough." An old voice suddenly interrupted the argument between the two.
Principal Xia Wu looked solemn and stared at the two people in front of him.
After a moment, he slowly said: "Why did you two appear in my office?"
Silence fell for a few seconds.
Lian Shou held his forehead and sighed: "I have only been away from the academy for less than two years, and your amnesia is getting worse and worse."
But Cang Wei seemed to have gotten used to it. He hurriedly stepped forward and told them the purpose of the two people coming here in detail.
"I see." Xia Wu nodded, and suddenly waved his hand, "I agree. This time, the entrance test will be fully responsible for Instructor Lian Shou!"
"As for you, Teacher Cang Wei, just be an assistant and help Instructor Lian Shou."
"I spent three days making the test plan." Cang Wei wailed in his heart, but could only respond in a deep voice, "Yes, Principal."
Lian Shou nodded to the principal, turned around and walked out: "Then I'll trouble you, Teacher Cang Wei."
"It's half an hour until eight o'clock. Let's go to the test site in advance to gather."
"I don't like to be late."
Cang Wei shrugged and followed.
Since the principal has spoken, he naturally has nothing to question, "I'm a little curious, Instructor Lian Shou, how many students do you expect to pass the test this time?"
"Preliminary reservation..." Lian Shou smiled and walked forward, "Thirty people."
...
Longxia College, on a vast plain.
Dozens of students came from all directions and walked towards the center of the plain.
They came from all over the country, all got the dragon jade, and rushed here to take the entrance test.
Almost everyone had a faint smile on their face, and their expressions were full of confidence.
They were the best among their peers, and they were far better than their peers in terms of their own abilities and comprehensive evaluations.
It was also because of this that they were able to obtain the dragon jade and go to Longxia College, the highest institution for awakeners!
"It's worthy of being Longxia College. Any test site is so big!"
Someone exclaimed in the crowd and slowly stopped in front of the sign with the three big words [Test Site].
In order to avoid being late, they got up early.
"Your name is Tang Xiaowan, right? It's a really nice name."
Not far away, a frivolous boy with red hair was quite attentively surrounding the beautiful girl, his expression full of excitement.
Such a beautiful girl, he had never seen one when he was in high school!
If Xu was here, he would definitely recognize that this girl was his former high school beauty, Tang Xiaowan.
"My name is Han Hao, and I have awakened an S-level ability, amazing!"
The red-haired boy proudly introduced himself, not noticing Tang Xiaowan who frowned slightly.
Tang Xiaowan was not interested in the boy who suddenly came over to chat with her. Just as she was about to speak, two figures appeared out of thin air and came to the sign in an instant.
They were wearing light blue suits and coats, and the emblems on their shoulders clearly showed their identities.
"Hello, instructor!"
For a moment, the students present stopped talking, and most of them bowed politely.
"Not bad, there are so many punctual little guys." Lian Shou smiled slightly, and took out a pocket watch from his inner pocket.
He ignored the students who greeted him, just looked down at the pocket watch and stood there silently.
The other students immediately became nervous and stood in front of Lian Shou.
Even if they communicated, they dared to speak very quietly, for fear of angering the two instructors who were about to test them.
The students came one after another and gathered in front.
Cang Wei looked around, looking at Instructor Lian Shou standing motionless beside him, but his mind was full of imagination, wondering what kind of test this legendary devil instructor would prepare for these freshmen.
Time passed by, and in the blink of an eye it was 7:58.
There were still two minutes until 8 o'clock.
And the students gathered here had reached 117 people.
"According to the list, exactly 120 people are expected to take the entrance exam this time." Cang Wei pondered in his heart and looked forward, "There are still three people who haven't shown up."
"Are you late, or..."
When the stopwatch pointer passed the twelve o'clock position again, Lian Shou also raised his head slightly and simply counted
There is still one minute.
Suddenly there was a commotion in the crowd.
They looked not far away, and the girls exclaimed, covering their eyes with their hands and looking forward through their fingers.
But in the distance of the road, a burly man, at least 1.9 meters tall, with an ordinary flat haircut and an extremely strong physique, was walking towards the crowd step by step.
He was not wearing a shirt, and his angular chest and abdominal muscles were revealed, but his eyes were extremely wanton and wild.
"Is this it, the freshman test site." He ignored everyone's gaze and walked straight into the crowd, his voice dull as thunder.
After a moment, he smiled: "Let's start quickly, I can't wait!"
"There are still two people who haven't arrived yet." Cang Wei's heart moved slightly, and his eyes glanced at the stopwatch in Lian Shou's hand.
At this moment, there are less than five seconds left until eight o'clock.
"It seems that they will miss this test." He sighed softly, and Lian Shou beside him kept smiling.
"It seems that the remaining two people don't need to wait any longer."
Lian Shou was about to close the pocket watch and put it away, but his movements suddenly froze, revealing a strange smile, and looked up at the sky.
This strange movement immediately attracted the students present to look up.
Soon, they exclaimed repeatedly.
A black spot was constantly enlarged from the sky, as if pointing directly at where they were!
Faintly, they could even see two figures, one of whom had wings on his back!
Whoosh! !
The figure fell like a meteorite, still in the air a second ago, and crashed into the middle of the plain the next second.
A cold wind swept away the smoke and dust.
At the same time, the stopwatch on Lian Shou's pocket watch, which he had not yet closed, jumped to the twelve o'clock position.
In the smoke and dust, an extremely cold voice came slowly: "Not a second more, not a second less."
"It seems that I have caught up."
