Chapter 97: The Battle Begins (2/2)

Wang Tong wasn’t excited at all and went to sleep immediately, he knew he had to maintain a good body condition for the matches. He was blessed with the ability to sleep in any environment, all he had to do was to lie down and close his eyes; however, tonight might be full of toss and turns for most of them.

The weather was nice in Bernabeu, it was a beautiful night…

Wang Tong woke up at the usual time the next day, his biological clock was right on time. After brushing his teeth, Wang Tong decided to do some warm-up exercises around the campus in order to activate his body cells. As soon as he arrived at the field of Bernabeu, he was greeted by a familiar “buddy”.

“Good day, Wang Tong.” Cao Yi smiled instantly.

“I’m sorry, do you know me?” Wang Tong was startled, immediately, he wondered if Cao Yi had found out that he was Einherjar Wannabe; however, it seemed impossible because he didn’t use his real identity in TPA.

“Of course I know you, you’re the secret weapon of Ayrlarng. I’m looking forward to have a match with you,” Cao Yi replied seriously.

Wang Tong couldn’t believe he was called the “secret weapon”.

“Haha, you’re too kind, please have mercy on me later.”

“Same goes to you, my friend. By the way, my name is Cao Yi. Nice to meet you.”

Both of them parted ways after having a short conversation. It was indeed a quiet and peaceful weekend morning in Bernabeu, yet the campus would be bustling with noise later when the tournament will begin.

Candidates of both parties were asked to gather at the arena hall after having breakfast, Martyrus and Samantha too made an early arrival at the venue, neither of them would hold back against each other today.

“Principal Samantha, let’s waste no time and begin round one, shall we?” Martyrus said.

“Please, anytime will do since you’re the host here. Thank you for having us, I’m sure I’ll be able to learn a lot from you today.”

“Very well, as usual, the first round will be Survival Assessment, and all of them will be participating in this. The survival simulation will be set to level-A difficulty, and the scenario will be generated randomly.”

“Okay!”

The giant monitor in the arena began to flash, there were more than tens of thousands of simulation scenarios in the Confederation archive; to most of the freshmen, the level-A difficulty wasn’t only hard, but it was a nightmare. All of Ayrlarng’s candidates were freshmen, Bernabeu’s team, however, consisted of students from different grades; nevertheless, half of the team were also freshmen. Apparently, Bernabeu too was thinking of training their new blood.

Unfortunately for Ayrlarng, there wasn’t anyone unique amongst older students; hence they had no choice but to gather a team of newbies.

The scenario generator stopped and selected mission A-3568. In this mission, candidates were required to make it through a Zerg’s territory and race toward the designated goal, and the team with the most successes would win the round. If the number of successful candidates happened to be a tie, the result would be decided by their time of arrival.

Martyrus then smiled and asked, “Principal Samantha, would you prefer the team mode or the individual mode for this round?” Apparently, there were multiple choices of modes in Survival Assessments.

“Let’s go with the individual mode, I suggest that we keep the fun of the battle to the very end,” Samantha replied. Team mode actually meant players of both sides were allowed to attack each other, while individual mode was all about racing toward the goal and making it through the Zergs’ territory.
