Chapter 555: Chapter 555: Top Ten
The burning sensation on the back of my left hand is naturally due to the “Yellow mark”.
In this situation, obviously, the Mysterious Yellow Robe Being would not make an appearance.
The burning feeling faded away in a short time, it seemed to be just a warning.
“It seems… Dumps’s concerns were correct. These council members have their ideas, and they might try to tamper with me in today’s final.”
If I withdraw from the final now, I would also arouse the suspicion of the council members.
They will continue to target me in various ways in the future, it’s better to allay their suspicions right here.
As long as I’m not the first one on the stage, I can carefully observe the ‘strange things’ about the stage.”
Han Dong and Dumps looked at each other and came to a consensus.
All thirteen Knight Regiments were still in attendance, but only Captain Hugo of Secret Language Knight Order came. The rest of his team went back to work extra hours.
“According to the scoring of yesterday’s semi-finals, and some special opinions given jointly by the thirteen captains, I will now announce the list of the top ten for Knight Selection.
The scoring of the semi-finals needs to be kept confidential and there is no ranking order.
Students who are called out, please stand on the ‘Original Stone Stage’ for the final battle.”
“1. The most ferocious beast of this Knight Selection—Abe Rhein.”
The person called out was admitted to the top ten.
They will have the privilege to actively choose the knight regiment they want to join based on the ‘sequence’.
When Abe, the first of the top ten, stepped onto the stage, he was met with cheers from the entire audience.
At this moment, the memories of harsh training that had once lingered in Abe’s mind became diluted. Everything was worth it.
“2. The red demon from the depths of Hell, Sean Naberis.”
It was undoubtedly that the demon boy made it to the selection.
Even though Sean lost, his opponent was the champion of the draft ten years ago… the ‘Power Micro Control’ shown by Sean was something none of the graduates could attain.
“3. The smith girl whose body is comparable to the Armor of Fate, Winry Austin.”
“Wow! I got selected!”
Winry’s performance was quite average, but her opponent was the commander of the Hummingbird Guard.
The extraordinary defense displayed by her body, coupled with the extra credit item -[Smith]- given by the captains after their discussion.
Winry had privately obtained the certificate of the High-level Smith, only a handful of smiths in the Holy City held such a certificate.
“4. The enigmatic, deadly rose in the night, Diana Epsilon.”
This Miss Diana, who was in the semi-finals with Abe, is an underground student who defeated a knight in an unexpected moment… She’s still hiding her face behind the cloak, so we can’t see her face.
However, before this student went on stage, she seemed to have glanced at Han Dong through the cloak.
Regarding this situation.
Mia immediately held onto her man’s arm, casting a hostile look at this woman.
“Don’t think about snatching my man…”
If a person of the same sex contends for Han Dong, Mia can accept.
But if a person of the opposite sex has any ideas about Han Dong, Mia absolutely will not allow it.
“5. Known as the most magically potent newcomer in the library in the past thirty years, the versatile genius who can switch to a melee stance in the face of magic nemesis, Dumps Martin.”
When Dumps’s name was called.
He immediately gave a gesture of adjusting his glasses as if he was using some mechanism to deepen the concealment of the ‘Sixth Finger’.
Successfully standing on this peculiar Original Stone Stage, his body showed no peculiar reaction, he secretly gave Han Dong an OK gesture.
“6. A witch who has a rare and eerie swordsmanship technique, Mia Seminovich.”
As soon as Mia got on the stage, she quickly rushed to the central gathering area. She wanted to quickly see who had the audacity to flirt with her man.
“7. The Undying – Iguava Masalaqi, who has set the record for the longest contest time in the Knight Tournament.”
A graduate, who was shrouded in a cloak concealing his special traits, slowly stepped onto the stage, with a zombie-like stride and posture, he slowly moved towards the center of the stage.
“8. Master of more than ten weapons, Brian Greenlanzy, can perfectly switch weapons according to the rhythm of the battle and the defense traits of the opponent.”
He is a graduate from the Crusader Academy of the National Royal Academy of Knights, he performed decently, fought evenly with a knight, but compared to the other students who defeated the knights, he is not particularly outstanding.
On his more than one-meter-tall bronze body, he was armed with his unique ‘Weapon Spectrum’.
Took a step and went up the stage.
He seems like an interesting graduate.
“9. Special student Guli Chalidu, who is suspected of deliberately retaining his strength in the semi-finals and deliberately controlling the score to just pass the top ten cut-off.”
“Huh!? Controlled the scores?”
This kind of introduction immediately attracted a lot of people’s attention.
This isn’t an ordinary exam, to just score 60 on the paper and pass… Since all the students’ evaluation scores are kept secret, it’s not just about being a ‘genius’ to make it into the top ten.
He must have completely objective and meticulous observation of each match in the semi-finals to dare to perform a ‘score control’.
“This guy…he really is strong! Being able to control the scores means that he has a perfect observation and evaluation of the performance of fifty students.
Then, he was able to bring out the strength corresponding to the tenth place to complete the semi-finals, never fully hiding his real strength.
How did this guy do it?”
Han Dong has also watched all the matches, but he has few impressions about this person’s match…
This Guli Chalidu was a male student wrapped in a fluffy coat.
Only a pair of rather cold eyes were exposed, stepping on a pair of long boots…
However, Han Dong still saw some non-human details.
Among the brown and fluffy hair, a few delicate steel nails were hidden, driven into his skull.
“Completely concealing his presence, not exposing any details that could be observed… This final looks like it’s not going to be straightforward.”
Han Dong silently took note of this student.
Finally, it was time to announce the last of the top ten finalists.
“10. The most unexpected graduate, special student from the Mysterious Department, Valen Nicholas who faced death and completed the examination.”
Han Dong looked at the Death God Brigade Captain in the audience stands, gave a slight nod, and stepped onto the stage.
Everything was normal.
As Han Dong came to the central position of the stage.
The final of this Knight Tournament officially kicked off.
Very simple rules, to determine the final ranking of the ten finalists through the most primitive 1V1 gladiator mode.
The lottery box floated down again.
The ten students needed to draw a strip of paper from it, those with the same patterns would match themselves.
“Pattern matching… Besides matching opponents, these patterns probably have other meanings, don’t they?”
