Chapter 159 Three years of S exam and one year of simulation
"Are you sure you don't want to find Natsu and Gray?"
Generally speaking, when choosing a partner, you should choose someone who can make up for your own shortcomings. For example, a person who is not outstanding in intelligence should choose a smart person, and a person with inexperience should choose an experienced person.
As for types like Kana and Wo Lian who are not lacking in experience and brains, and are good at supporting or auxiliary combat, they should choose someone like Natsu who is super capable.
Kana shook her head: "Strength is indeed very important. Natsu and Gray are both very strong, but you are not bad either... I heard that you were originally qualified to run for the election, right?"
Wo Lian looked surprised: "Is there such a thing?"
Kana said frantically: "You don't know anything, why are you looking for Rhodes?!"
Wo Lian said sheepishly: "I just 'eavesdropped' on everyone's voices about partner selection. Rhodes' name appeared more frequently, and you also went this way."
"You guy..." Kana wanted to beat him up. This person was just here to cause trouble for his opponent, right?
Warlian avoided Kana's eyes: "Anyway, now we all want to invite you to be our partner, what do you think?"
What else can I think... Of course I am very happy to be trusted by others, but I am also a little worried that I have betrayed their trust.
Although I don’t want to take the exam, it would be good to participate as a partner to understand the intensity of the exam and prepare for next year.
The first choice must be Wo Lian, because he is a man and can do anything easily without worrying about causing misunderstandings.
But there was nothing wrong with choosing Kana. We were usually good friends, so there was no misunderstanding.
Rhodes suggested: "How about you guessing?"
Wo Lian nodded: "No problem!"
"No! No one can beat Wo Lian in the guessing game." Kana immediately objected.
Wo Lian is a guy who can read the enemy's next move in battle. Guessing the punches is a waste of money.
"What about drawing lots?"
Kana agreed: "It's OK to draw lots."
"Absolutely not!" This time Wo Lian disagreed.
Kana is the best at cheating, and she uses card magic. Seeing how decisive she is, she must have thought of a way to cheat.
Rhodes said helplessly: "You magicians are really troublesome."
Mira smiled and said: "You are also a magician."
Rhodes looked at her: "Mira, can you give me some advice?"
Mira thought for a while: "Kana came first, so let's choose Kana?"
"Mira!" Kana rushed forward across the counter and hugged Mira across the counter.
Rhodes expressed envy.
"Mira~" Wo Lian was pitiful.
"Don't be like this." Mira didn't know whether she was talking about Kana or Wo Lian. She pointed behind Wo Lian, "Isn't there someone looking for you?"
Warlian turned back: "Marcus?"
Marcus raised his hand to say hello to everyone, and then asked: "How about Wo Lian, have you decided to partner up?"
"We just decided." Wo Lian smiled, "It's you, come and help me!"
"Me?" Marcus was a little shocked. He thought Wo Lian wanted to find Rhodes or Elfman.
Wo Lian nodded affirmatively. This is the most common way to choose a partner in the guild. No matter what, just choose someone with whom you have a good relationship.
"Okay! I will do my best to help you pass the exam!" Marcus raised his hand.
Wo Lian also raised his hand and gave Marcus a high-five.
The two of them actually had the aura that they would definitely win as long as they worked hard.
"Rhodes?" Kana looked at him.
"I'm going to give it my all, too." Rhodes also raised his hand and gave Kana a high-five and said with a smile, "Don't leave until school is over."
"ah?"……
Of course, the reason for not leaving after school is to discuss the exam. You always have to prepare unexpectedly before the exam. You can't let Kana drink until the day of the exam, right?
That night, in addition to Rod, Mira and Elfman, there was another Kana in the guild's small courtyard.
"You guys train here every day after get off work?" Kana looked at the various equipment in the yard and some marks on the ground in surprise.
No wonder many people say that Rhodes has improved very quickly. It seems that it is not entirely due to talent. He has put in a lot of sweat.
Rhodes said: "We have been doing this for a while. It's just that the cold weather has been a bit troublesome recently, but it's also good to practice cold resistance."
I heard from Gray that he is not naturally impervious to the cold, and that his ability to withstand the cold can be developed through training.
"Even Mira..."
Mira was doing warm-up exercises and said with a smile: "I also want to exercise occasionally, and by the way I can be a coach for them two."
"So that's it." Kana nodded. No wonder they said that the progress of Rhodes and Mira was not slower than his progress.
"Don't look at me like that, as if I have some conspiracy." Rhodes waved his hand.
"Let's get down to business. Since we have decided to form a team to take the exam, tacit understanding is a very important part, so starting from today, you also have to..."
The more Rhode said this, the more he felt guilty. He said in front of Mira that he wanted to develop a tacit understanding with other girls. He felt that he must be crazy.
Fortunately, there was a special reason, and Mira supported him in choosing Kana.
"I know!" Kana joined the warm-up without saying a word, "What's next?"
"Uh... don't rush yet." Rhodes said, "Although the president said that the official start will be in a week, I think the exam has started now.
The first step is to collect information. First, I need to understand the content of the S-level exam in previous years, and then try to guess the content of this year's exam, and then do some targeted training. "
Three years of S exam and one year of simulation.
This should be the easiest information to obtain, and both Kana and Mira can provide it.
"The content of the exam is different every year. It is generally divided into three levels. The first level is not difficult, but the second level will be blocked by S-class wizards, and it may also be a competition with other participants. The third level close……"
Kana looked embarrassed. She had not passed the third level, so she could only look at Mira.
Mira said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I can't reveal the content of the exam."
The exam content of previous years must also be kept confidential... Rhodes thought for a while and asked, "What if I hold your thigh and beg you?"
Elfman stood up and bumped his fists: "Then I will beat you away, man!"
Mira covered her mouth and smiled.
"..." Okay, Rhodes gave up on trying to get things out of Mira, "Kana, please tell me more details."
"Okay." Although it was an unpleasant experience, looking at Rhodes' solemn look, Kana still talked about the content of the first three exams.
Rhodes took notes while listening. These are valuable experiences that can be used to guess the thinking of the question maker.
He couldn't help but think of the teachings of his high school teacher: 'You have to know the intention of the person who asked the question. What part of your knowledge does he want to use this question to test? ’
After finishing speaking, Kana felt a little depressed: "These are all failed experiences. Is this kind of thing useful?"
"Of course." Rhodes closed the notebook, "Judging from the exam content, the president told us the answer yesterday."
"Answer?" Kana thought for a moment, "Are you talking about the contents that determine the qualifications for candidacy?"
"Yes, ability, mind, character, etc.," Rhodes said. "The first level in previous years can be regarded as basic questions, testing our most basic ability to solve common difficulties, either by relying on magic or relying on companions."
"The second level is an improvement question. It tests our hard power. Whether we use pure force or clever strategies, we must pass the test of S-class magicians or be blocked by competitors."
"The third level is considered an additional question, because there is no reference material, so we can only speculate based on thin air." Rhodes looked into Mira's eyes and said,
"I guess it should be a type of comprehensive ability test. It may be to solve a specific task, or a simulation task set by the president, and the final score will be based on the completion of the task."
Mira's eyes showed a little surprise, and Rhodes felt that he must have guessed at least part of it right.
"Then there is the specific analysis. The exam location is in the Kroba Grand Canyon. I just know a little bit about it. The terrain there is complex, and the possible exam questions are..."
