Chapter 556 Unexpected
It was at that moment, Drillmaster Layard’s cold voice emerged. “Miracle Spirit, I want to scan all the wizards who finished the examination!”“Request accepted, now scanning!” A robotic voice emerged from the military card of Drillmaster Layard.
“magic item spotted on k3503,
magic item spotted on k3507,
magic item spotted on k3511,
magic item spotted on k3513,”
The robotic voice was not loud, but the magic circle above the stadium was ignited. Afterward, red beams of light beamed down towards the 5 wizards.
“K3503, k3507, k3511, k3513, you have violated the rule of the examination. You have failed your battle of the orcs mission. Please give out your military card!” The robotic voice emerged from the newly ignited circle.
“How…”
“Examiner Layard, can you give me a chance?”
“I can pa.s.s this examination. K3503, didn’t you say everything will be ok?”
The uproar began to arise in the stadium. Those 5 wizards caught cheating were stunned but seemed like they were about to explode. At least 2 or 3 of them were confident that they could pa.s.s this first part of the exam. They just wanted it to make it easier but backfired on them very badly.
“K3516, thank you!”k3515 turned back to Abel as he watched the chaos in the stadium, and said with a gentle voice.
“No worries. Didn’t you realize something off? Said Abel as he stared at the cold looking face of Drillmaster Layard. He knew something was not right.
“Drillmaster Layard has gone mad; he kicked out 5 wizards at once!” K3515 agreed with Abel. Drillmaster Layard really was different today.
Outside of the stadium, Drillmaster Cooper’s brain had gone blank. He was the main Drillmaster for this course, and 5 wizards had been kicked out at once. This meant he basically failed this training mission. He wasted 3 months of hard work was wasted. Not only that, but the Miracle City spirit would also mark him off. From now on, he could only accept simple missions.
He really couldn’t understand why Drillmaster Layard had done this. It was not good for both of them. Drillmaster Layard would need to face the same consequence as well.
“Miracle Spirit, I request a magic suppression circle for the rest of this examination!” Said Drillmaster Layard to his military card.
If a large number of wizards had violated the rule of examination, a Drillmaster could request a special examination method. A magic suppression circle was one of them.
This circle could suppress magic, so those magic items would basically be useless. The Miracle City spirit would only use this circle on wizards who violated the rule. Of course, the range of this circle was not big, only a small room at most.
This magic circle was basically a trick to the system. Abel heard about it before. The reason why this magic circle could not be implanted on a large scale was its range, and it’s also very obvious to sense by any wizards. Therefore, they were only used for keeping convicts.
Drillmaster Layard had used cheating as an excuse to ignite this magic suppress circle. Although he did not request it beforehand, he still has the ability to do so according to the rule.
“Request confirmed. Magic suppression circle ignited!” The robotic sound emerged again.
Afterward, a white beam of light shot up from. The stadium and a set of magic circles had been teleported, and soon they were ignited. Everything was under the control of the spirit.
“Next up, s.h.i.+eld blocking. Due to the ma.s.s cheating that just happened, this part will take place in the magic suppression circle!” Said Drillmaster Layard in a low voice. He didn’t even look at those 5 wizards that just failed.
“K301, come here!” Drillmaster Layard yelled as he entered the magic suppression circle first.
“Yes, Drillmaster!” K3501 yelled back and entered the circle as well.
The magic suppression circle did not have an invisible ability, so everyone on the spot could see what was happening.
“I will use the force of a rank 3 knight, and you try to block. If you step back more than 5 steps, you fail!” Said Drillmaster Layard with a blank face.
K3501 placed the round s.h.i.+eld in front of him and nodded to Drillmaster Layard. “Examiner, I’m ready!”
Drillmaster Layard used his knight sword to strike upon the round s.h.i.+eld of k3501, knocking him back for 4 steps. He wobbled a little bit more, but he stood still at last nevertheless. The only thing faded was the confidence in his face.
“K3501, you pa.s.s. K3502, you are next!” Drillmaster Layard lowered his voice again.
Although Drillmaster Cooper was very far away from the stadium, he was not like the wizards; he could clearly see that even though a rank 3 knight could unleash a hit like the one Drillmaster Layard just did, it would almost be their maximum force. That hit was nearing the power of a rank 4 knight.
If the examination continued like this, maybe only a few wizards would pa.s.s. Drillmaster Cooper just couldn’t understand what Drillmaster Layard was doing!
Abel also realized this abnormality. Normally, the blocking skills required were only a little more than a rank 2 knight. There was no way it was this strong.
A Knight’s strength would grow tremendously from rank 3 to rank 4, so a weak rank 3 strike was totally different from a strong one.
Take k3501, for example. He was one of the strongest wizards other than Abel, and he could barely even complete this exam. This meant all the other wizards would be in big trouble.
Just as expected, as k3502 was struck upon by Drillmaster Layard’s sword. He took 6 steps back and landed on his a.s.s.
By that point, all the Wizard’s faces had grown white. They didn’t know what was happening. Why was Drillmaster Layard so strict all of a sudden. Normally a training like this was only supposed to help wizards learn some survival skills; it was supposed to be a walk in the park.
Of course, if you failed badly, you would be kicked out, but it was not supposed to get the whole team kicked out like this.
When k3502 exited the magic circle, He did not go straight to the 5 failed wizards. Instead, he stepped up to k3501 resting by aside, “K3501, you are the one who said Drillmaster Layard would be the examiner, and you are the one who said this examination would be easy!”
There were only 16 wizards in the camp, so it was very easy to find the one who spread any rumors. Especially for wizards–they had good memories and critical thinking skills. By that point, everyone had their gaze fixed on k3501.
“Don’t blame me,” Drillmaster Layard told me when we were chatting, so I thought he would take care of us. That’s why I told everyone!” Although K3501 was wearing a mask, the horror in his eyes still showed.
“Why is Drillmaster Layard trying to set us up? Wizards were not stupid. Every wizard on the spot realized that Drillmaster Layard had deliberately spread the rumors.
“Maybe he thought wizards are fun to mess with!” Said a wizard with a cold laugh.
“We’ll all go report him after the examination!” A Wizard said.
No one could understand his behavior. Those were 16 wizards, even though they were beginner wizards, they all had their teacher and friends. If they all joined forces, they could make Drillmaster Layard suffer for the rest of his life in the Holy Continent.
Another wizard had fallen to the ground in the magic suppression circle.
This was strange, but Abel’s head commander intuition did not alert him a single bit. He felt like it had nothing to do with himself, but the calculation the world stone gave out was that there was a 76% chance that this situation had to do with him.
Seemed like Drillmaster Layard had found out his ident.i.ty.
Abel had no idea how Drillmaster found out. He had been extremely mindful when it came to his behavior, clothing, mask, and manners.
