Chapter 159 Three Years of S Exams 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 shortcomings. For example, if you are not smart enough, choose someone with outstanding brains, and if you are inexperienced, choose an experienced person.
For people like Cana and Wallian who have both experience and brains and are good at supporting or assisting in combat, they should choose someone like Natsu who is super capable.
Cana shook her head: “Strength is indeed important. Natsu and Gray are both very strong, but you are not bad either… I heard that you were originally qualified to participate in the election, right?”
Wolian was surprised: “Is there such a thing?”
Kana was mad: “Why did you come to Rhodes when you don’t know anything?!”
Wolian said embarrassedly: “I just ‘eavesdropped’ on everyone’s voices about partner selection. Rhodes’ name appeared more frequently, and you also walked this way.”
”You guy…” Cana wanted to beat him up. This person is purely here to mess with the opponent, right? Wolian avoided Cana’s eyes: “Anyway, now we all want to invite you to be a partner, what do you think?”
What else can I think… Of course I am very happy to be trusted by others, and I am also a little worried that I will fail their trust.
Although I don’t want to take the exam, it is not bad to participate as a partner to understand the intensity of the exam and prepare for next year.
The first choice is definitely Wallian, because he is a man, it is convenient to do anything, and there is no need to worry about causing misunderstandings.
But there is no problem in choosing Kana. They are usually good friends and there is no misunderstanding.
Rod suggested: “How about you play rock-paper-scissors?”
Wolian nodded: “No problem!”
”No! No one can beat Volian in rock-paper-scissors.” Kana immediately objected.
Wolian is a guy who can read the enemy’s next move in battle, so rock-paper-scissors is like giving it away.
”Then draw lots?”
Kana agreed: “Draw lots is fine.”
”Absolutely not!” This time it was Volian who disagreed.
Kana is the best at cheating, and she uses card magic. Seeing how decisive she is, she must have thought of cheating methods.
Rhodes said helplessly: “You wizards are really troublesome.”
Mira smiled and said: “You are also a wizard.”
Rhodes looked at her: “Mira, give me some advice?”
Mira thought for a while: “Kana came first, so let’s choose Kana?”
”Mira!” Kana rushed over across the counter and hugged Mira across the counter.
Rhodes expressed envy.
”Mira~” Wallian looked pitiful.
”Don’t be like this.” Mira didn’t know whether she was talking about Kana or Wallian. She pointed behind Wallian, “Didn’t someone come to find you?”
Walian turned around: “Marcus?”
Marcus raised his hand to say hello to everyone, and then asked: “How about Wallian, have you decided to partner?”
”Just decided.” Wallian smiled, “It’s you, come and help me!”
”Me?” Marcus was a little surprised, he thought Wallian wanted to find Rhodes or Elfman.
Wolian 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.
Wolian also raised his hand and high-fived Marcus.
The two of them actually had the momentum that they would win as long as they worked hard.
”Rod?” Cana looked at him.
”I will also go all out once.” Rod also raised his hand and high-fived Cana, smiling, “Don’t leave after school later.”
”Ah?” …
Of course, not leaving after school was to discuss the exam. You always have to prepare for it before the exam. You can’t let Cana drink until the day of the exam, right? That night, in addition to Rod, Mira and Elfman, there was another Cana 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 traces on the ground in surprise.
No wonder many people say that Rhodes is improving very quickly. It seems that it is not entirely due to his talent. He has worked hard.
Rhodes said: “We have been doing this for a while. It’s a bit troublesome because of the cold weather recently, but it’s also good to practice cold resistance.”
Listen to GeLei said that he was not born to be cold-resistant, and the ability to resist cold can be trained.
”Even Mira…”
Mira was doing warm-up exercises and said with a smile: “I want to exercise occasionally, and I can coach them by the way.”
”So that’s the case.” Kana nodded. No wonder they said that Rhode and Mira’s progress was not slower than his strength improvement.
”Don’t look at me like that, as if I have some conspiracy.” Rhode waved his hand,
”Let’s talk business. Since we have decided to form a team to take the exam, tacit understanding is a very important part, so from today on, you also have to…”
Rhode felt more and more guilty as he spoke these words. He felt that he must be crazy to say that he wanted to cultivate tacit understanding with other girls in front of Mira.
Fortunately, there was a special reason, and Mira supported him to choose Kana.
“I know!” Kana said without hesitation, and joined the warm-up. “What’s next?”
”Uh… don’t worry.” Rhode said, “Although the president said that the official start will be in a week, I think the exam has already started now.
The first step is to collect intelligence. First, I need to understand the content of the S-level exams in previous years, and then try to guess the content of this year’s exams, and then do some targeted training.”
Three years of S exams 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-level wizards, or it may be competing with other participants. The third level…”
Kana looked embarrassed. She had never entered the third level, so she had to look at Mira.
Mira said apologetically: “I’m sorry, I can’t reveal the content of the exam.”
The content of the exams in previous years must also be kept secret… Rod 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 smiled with her hands covering her mouth.
”…”Okay, Rod gave up the idea of getting information from Mira, “Kana, tell me more details.”
”Okay.” Although it was not a pleasant experience, seeing Rod’s serious look, Kana still talked about the content of the first three exams.
Rod took notes while listening. These were all valuable experiences that could be used to infer the thinking of the question setter.
He couldn’t help but think of the teachings of his high school teacher: ‘You have to know the intention of the question setter. Which part of your knowledge does he want to test with this question? ’
After telling everything, Kana was a little depressed: “These are all experiences of failure. Is this kind of thing useful?”
”Of course.” Rhodes closed the small notebook, “From the test content, the president has already told us the answer yesterday.”
”The answer?” Kana thought for a while, “Are you talking about the items that are used to assess the eligibility of candidates?”
”Yes, ability, mind, character, etc.” Rhodes said, “The first level in previous years can be regarded as a basic question, which tests our most basic ability to solve common difficulties, which can be achieved by relying on magic or companions.”
”The second level It is an improvement question, which tests our hard power. Whether it is pure force or clever strategy, we must pass the test of S-class wizards or the obstruction of competitors. ”
”The third level is an additional question. Since there is no reference material, we can only guess it out of thin air.” Rhode looked at Mira’s eyes, “I guess it should be a type of test of comprehensive ability. It may be to solve a specific task, or a simulation task set by the president, and finally score according to the completion of the task.”
Mira’s eyes showed a little surprise, and Rhode felt that he should have guessed at least part of it.
”Then there is a specific analysis. The test location is in the Kroba Grand Canyon. I just happened to know a little bit. The terrain there is complicated. The possible test content is…”
