Chapter 65: Moss’s Outstanding Performance

At 12:30 pm that day, the twenty-five candidates from twelve classes gathered at White Deer High’s playground. This would be the final venue where the teachers chose the participants.

Unlike before, four bronze doors appeared alongside a colossal bronze door. The door in the middle was much taller than the other four.

Meanwhile, a group of first and second-grade teachers, alongside the school higher-ups, sat in the large conference room, watching the big screen.

Although there weren’t many people involved in this selection, it was related to the results of White Deer High’s annual school professional competition in the next few days.

The director had personally organized this observation, so the teachers involved came. Of course, the teachers wanted to participate in the observation event. After all, they wanted to know which students would ultimately represent White Deer High.

The gathered sophomore candidates discussed animatedly. Moss, Alan, and Ell stood among them, quietly listening to the surrounding students’ idle chatter.

“I heard that the teachers will only select ten people and split them into two groups of five.”

“No way! They’re going to eliminate fifteen students?”

“Sigh, I heard that Number Five High will be sending three teams to participate in the annual school professional competition. That’s fifteen people.”

“Even if they send that many people, they might not necessarily get good results. Even though Number Five High can send three teams, there’s no way they can get first place. No matter how many people they send, they will only serve as bait for others!”

Moss had heard similar discussions countless times today.

Since this was the first time any of these students had a chance to participate in the annual school professional competition, everyone wanted to be on the list of participants.

But after understanding various channels, White Deer High finally decided to send two teams to participate in the annual school professional competition next week.

When the school verified this news, the students’ restless hearts became even more restless. Moss remained calm at that moment, quietly looking at the five bronze doors.

“Moss, can we form a team later?” Alan asked with a worried expression.

“Moss, can I still be on a team with you and Alan?” Ell also appeared, looking anxious.

Moss noticed their scared faces, patted Alan’s shoulder, and said with a smile, “Alan, Ell, don’t worry. Since there’s a team competition, the teachers will consider the teamwork between the students. We already have a tacit understanding with each other.”

Alan felt much better after hearing Moss’s words. After all, the two had performed well together in the one-star Mystic Realm, achieving excellent results.

Ell’s tightly furrowed eyebrows relaxed. The trio chatted for a while when they heard a familiar voice, “Hello, students. The selection segment will now begin.”

Everyone looked in the voice’s direction and saw a group of teachers near the five bronze doors, making preparations. They knew that the teachers would soon open the five doors.

The bald director walked to the colossal bronze door in the middle and continued, “I will now explain the specific rules of this test. There are five Mystic Realms behind me, and three are one-star Mystic realms. One of them is a half-star Mystic Realm, and the other is a two-star Mystic Realm.”

The student’s wailed when the director said this.

“Moss, isn’t this just the selection segment? Why are the teachers using a two-star Mystic Realm? Is this a selection, or is the school undermining our confidence?!” Alan complained in confusion.

“Exactly. A one-and-a-half-star Mystic Realm is already stretching it. Are they trying to kill us?!” A student from class three echoed Alan’s complaint.

Most of the other students who participated in the selection segment felt that the school was going too far. The teachers in the conference room were also in an uproar.

“The director will let the student’s into the two-star Mystic Realm? They’re only sophomores who have just passed their first small test! I think the director is being a little too ruthless!”

“You’re right. I think the director should just choose a random one-star Mystic Realm and find the best team combination. There’s no need for a two-star Mystic Realm to undermine the students’ confidence!”

Miss Aisha’s heart grew heavy when she heard that. She instantly started to worry for Moss, Alan, and the others.

As the teachers objected to the director’s decisions, Na’er’s deep voice sounded, “You have to understand the director’s painstaking efforts. Apart from examining the students’ teamwork, he has to test their limits and how the students deal with challenges that come their way.”

“No one knows precisely how tough the annual school professional competition will be and what it entails. This training will come in handy should a two-star Mystic Realm appears in the competition.”

The conference room had quieted down long before Na’er finished speaking. Everyone cast respectful gazes at Na’er and nodded in a somewhat educated manner.

The screen flashed, and the other teachers immediately exited to maintain order quickly. The director continued, “Each team can enter the Mystic Realms in any order they choose. The mission for each one-star Mystic Realm is to kill fifty Magical Beasts, including one level eight Magical Beast.”

Each team is only allowed to stay in each Mystic Realm for an hour. If a team completes their mission in under an hour, they can exit the Mystic Realm.”

“The same goes for the other realms. If you can’t handle it in an hour, you can give up. You will automatically teleport back here if you die in the Mystic Realm. If you are not qualified to try other Mystic Realms, you will receive damage that will not disappear completely.”

“Since this is only a preliminary competition, ten students can form two teams to represent White Deer High and participate in the annual school professional competition. You may adjust your team every time you exit a Mystic Realm.”

“You can all come to see me about the first grouping later. If you have any doubts or questions, you can ask the teachers present before entering a Mystic Realm. My dear students, do you understand what you need to do?”

The students participating in the selection segment answered, “Understood!”

The director nodded in satisfaction and turned to look at the teachers standing before each bronze door. The teachers then opened all five bronze doors.

The teachers discussed, seeing as the twenty-five students unanimously chose to enter a one-star Mystic realm.

“Mr. Warren, which team do you think is more important as of now?” Class one’s teacher asked mysteriously.

She didn’t have expectations at the moment. Initially, there was Cullen, the Swordmaster in her class. But since Cullen had repeatedly offended his schoolmates and teachers with his selfish actions, class one’s teacher dared not recommend Cullen to the candidate list.

Since Ell and Bailey were from her class, class one’s teacher reckoned that this selection segment was only about participating.

“It must be Mill’s time to shine. I just saw the three one-star Mystic Realms. The primary test is for the students to kill as many Magical Beasts in the shortest time possible. Mill is a Fire Mage with wide-ranged attacks and strong crowd-control capabilities. Moreover, she can also replenish her teammates’ health.”

Mr. Warren looked affirmative as he blurted without thinking. He focused on the Mystic Realm, where Team Mill was.

Most teachers were more optimistic about Mill and Bass’s team when they heard the other teachers discussing. However, they weren’t confident in Team Moss.

Miss Aisha also felt that Moss wouldn’t have an advantage under such rules, mainly because he was a Knight. Moreover, among the five people in Team Moss, Alan and Ell could work well alongside Moss, while the Dartmouth and Wine Mage were unfamiliar with the trio’s teamwork. Their skills also didn’t possess any area of effect lethality.

Although Moss possessed excellent one-on-one strength, killing that many Magical Beasts in such a short time was relatively challenging.

As Miss Aisha worried about Moss, a cry suddenly sounded from the conference room, “Team Moss has entered the two-star Mystic Realm!”

“Team Moss has only just entered the two-star Mystic Realm and already killed a level eight Saber-tooth Tiger!”
