Chapter 1944: Combat Exhibition Showcase
Despite the hiccup that Jin had unfortunately been in, most of the tour groups that walked around the school did not have much of a problem at all. In fact, the System was antic.i.p.ating a more chaotic movement of the school compound but most of the things went well.
And like what the Demon Exorcist teacher had said previously, there was a talent showcase, an exhibition of sorts to show people and give confidence that the Demon Exorcists have some rather strong people in their midst despite the incidents that had happened.
In short, they wished to create heroes out of thin air. They want to a.s.sure people that competent Demon Exorcists existed and if the Banned Emperor Terrorists were ever to strike again, they are more than ready to not just prevent the attack but put the hurt into their plans as well.
The exhibition showcase did not only have that reason for putting up such performances. It was also to inspire the existing students that such heights could be achievable by them as long as they put in the effort. But what makes this combat exhibition showcase to be different from previous years and openings is that they are in a dimensional instance.
So long they are in this dimensional instance, they have the perception that they would not die even clas.h.i.+ng with a difficult opponent. The JODE teachers and management wished to ingrain this into their students too. "It is precisely because this was a dimensional instance, give your best shot. If you survive, learn what when wrong and how can be improved. If you die.
You can try again until you win against it."
Therefore this current combat exhibition showcase had a big disclaimer. All of these genuine fights to the death and dying should not be seen as a failure by the audience mainly because the current exhibition monsters had been adjusted to be hard.
It is to give the audience a sense of feeling that JODE Demon Exorcists are giving it their all to clear the obstacle that was presented ahead of them. Of course, most of the management did not agree to this initially because they knew how the Chinese people" culture.
All of them wanted to have "face", and pride in what they do. They will feel ashamed for the things they have done badly and it might haunt them. Thus, by losing in this current combat exhibition showcase, it might only give them a sense of loss and perhaps judgment from the audience.
Of course, these people would never know how much effort these Demon Exorcists had put in or what had caused them to lose. All they know is that they are quick to judge and that judgment will cause these Demon Exorcists to feel ashamed of the loss they had created.
However, Grand Headmistress Yuan had another agenda. "If you think you can lose, then don"t lose. If you wish to lose, at least regain your honour by dying with a valiant fight." As heartless as this sounds during her part of her opening speech to the exhibition showcase, Yuan did not care if they lost their "face" or not.
This was because she wanted to show what kind of standard the current batch of Demon Exorcists have.fгeewebnovёl.com
It was like a promise that if they could not defeat even a monster of a certain grade, they have to make sure that this shameful defeat would be etched in these Demon Exorcists" minds to work harder and stronger so that they could win it easily for the next combat exhibition showcase.
And that was the speech that Grandma Yuan had given before the commencement of the combat exhibition showcase. After she gave her speech, the crowd had already settled down with their expectations managed.
Or that"s what they had thought until those in the known, started to see squads upon squads to emerge from the sides of the stadium. People who managed to recognise them will know that those were Demon Exorcists that were considered to be elites in each of their provinces.
From Beijing"s Mad Hatters to Hainan"s Phoenix Force, people who were from those areas would know that these were like the commandos of Demon Exorcists who were here to have the showcase.
Of course, it"s not the entire team that came or else if there were any emergencies, how would the Demon Exorcists could respond to it? (Jin could just teleport them but why would he reveal such a technique to these people for.)
For the Demon Exorcist bCommandos", they were also excited to see what kind of monsters the dungeon supplier had in store for them so that they could judge his worthiness. To Jin, he was delighted to serve especially when this showcase was not just for the people seeing it but also for the people partic.i.p.ating in it.
If the Commandos do feel that the fights were dynamic and engaging enough, there is no saying that they might create a work trip here as part of their training programme.
Of course, his Operations Manager needed to do some follow up with those commando squads after the exhibition was done but as Grandma Yuan had designated, Jin was not going to give them a free pa.s.s just because it was JODE"s school grand opening.
Even JODE Chancellor Ma Ge had also noted that he was expecting to receive some bad publicity from the loss that his commandos might get but was still confident that they could pa.s.s whatever test Jin would throw at them.
That was why with permission from the JODE Chancellor and Grand Headmistress Yuan, Jin asked his monsters to give their all. Obviously, he did not throw super awful summons at the commandos where it was a point of no return for their face and physical body.
But a number of his monsters were rather overpowered or underpowered because their strength lies in numbers. So when he took the stage, he explained that while Demon Exorcist"s main concern was monsters, there were times when those monsters were accompanied by humans like the Banned Emperor Terrorists.
So, he said that these Demon Exorcist Commandos should be trained to also handle humans and not just monsters. Thus, Jin would be providing them with some human "enemies" to test their skills. Of course, there would be demon monsters with these human enemies too but they were more of an accompanying companion.
In terms of strength, those Demon Monsters would be of lesser strength compared to the humans.
This was the last and final excuse that Jin could make up in case the audience saw that their Demon Exorcist Commandos failed in action. But at the same time, Jin was not expecting much from these commandos mainly due to the fact that they were not as well known as the name suggests them to be.
They might be commandos in name but a lot of them were mostly selected because they were the best in that particular training centre.
And Jin knows that a centre"s best might not essentially mean that it could be the nation"s best. That was why Jin as heartless as he wanted to be, just gave that last excuse in hopes that the audience and reporters close an eye to the situation.
The Demon Exorcist Commandos on the other hand had no idea who their opponents were until they came in from one side of the stadium when their turn began. Hainan"s Phoenix Force was up first as they were polled internally that they were the stronger few groups of commandos compared to the rest.
The JODE management could only hope that they proved to be a survivor in the coming fight. Jin also released his group which was meant to be an enemy for them and it only consisted of one cloaked person and two wolves beside him.
The wolves were made and the souls were fused for this fight. It was not a monster or creature that Jin had captured previously. Therefore, the System had tailored the stats to be of something similar to their opponent"s grades. The only difference was that this one cloaked person is of another grade level than the average grade the Commandos possessed.
It was meant to be a challenge and Jin had not relent a single bit.
But when the Demon Exorcist Commandos, Phoenix Force had saw their opponents, they were a little skeptical. "Just one cloaked person? against a squad of five? Was that a tad too much when it comes to underestimating them?" Those were their thoughts except for the commander who was afraid.
Extremely afraid.
He could not sense the cloaked person"s chi, not even a single bit which meant that the person might not be a cultivator or was very good at hiding his chi. Either way, there was no doubt that the person in front of him was not a commoner.
"Battle Formation Charlie. Deal with the wolves first before the human enemy." Phoenix Force Leader said.
