Chapter 8 Ranking Test
Chapter 8 Ranking Test
Time quickly came to the second day.
Victoria Song stood on the podium and stuffed a piece of paper with the names of twelve students in the key class into a sealed box.
After shaking it for a while, she picked out two slips of paper: "Now I will announce who the two students for the first test are."
Slowly opening the note in her hand, Song Qian smiled: "Russell vs. Lin Yue."
When Russell heard his name, he raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect that he would be the first to go on stage.
The teachers and students of the key class came to the special battle venue of Shanghai No. 1 Middle School.
Lin Yue stood far away at one side of the venue and said to Russell, "Russell, please give me your guidance."
As he spoke, a figure with a human body and a bull's head, holding a steel knife, appeared in front of him.
“Bullhead?” Russell looked at Lin Yue’s card with some surprise, but then denied his guess, “If it’s [Soul Catcher·Bullhead], it shouldn’t be only of Black Iron-level blue quality.”
Then there are only two possibilities. One is that this is just a monster with a bull's head and a human body. The other is that the story is not perfect and the material level is not high enough, so it is an incomplete version of the bull's head.
But Russell prefers the first possibility.
Generally, creature cards like these, which have their own stories and are of lower quality, don't have any special abilities.
Ji Guoyuan appeared in front of Russell in an instant.
"I'll leave it to you, Yoriichi."
Upon hearing this, Ji Guoyuan nodded slightly.
Come to think of it, Russell never knew whether Jigoku Yuichi didn't want to speak or couldn't speak.
Jiang Nanxi and Du Heng, who were standing on the sidelines, suddenly froze in their eyes when they saw Ji Guoyuanyi.
This was the first time they had seen Russell's cards.
In the field, Ji Guoyuan took a deep breath and instantly rushed towards the bull-headed monster.
The distance between the two was rapidly shortening.
Perhaps it was because of the quality of the card, or perhaps it was because the monster's intelligence was not very high.
It was not until Tsugaru Yoshiichi came in front of it that the minotaur barely reacted.
"Bah!"
The two knives collided, and red sparks flashed in the eyes of the teachers and students present.
But the next moment, a cry of surprise came from Lin Yue's mouth.
What he saw in front of him was that Tsugumi Yoshiichi had voluntarily given up the sword fight, stepped back sideways, and took advantage of the moment when the minotaur staggered due to the loss of its wrestling power to crouch down and come to his side.
The flaming blade slashed across the minotaur's neck.
At its side, Yoshiichi Tsugikoshi, who had his back to the minotaur, slowly put away his sword.
Behind him was a minotaur whose body was separated and gradually disappeared into the air.
"Russell wins!" Victoria Song announced the result loudly on the sidelines, her face showing unconcealable joy.
Russell's excellence far exceeded her imagination. If his first card was not limited by the materials, it might have been made of gold quality directly.
Principal Xie’s vision was indeed correct. Russell was indeed worthy of being cultivated as a seed for Shanghai No. 1 Middle School.
In this year's joint entrance examination of four schools, Shanghai No. 1 Middle School is not without a chance.
Jiang Nanxi watched the match between Russell and Lin Yue on the sidelines with a frown on his face.
From just one battle, she couldn't really see what Tsugakuni Yuichiro was capable of. She only knew that Tsugakuni Yuichiro was considered a top-notch card even among the Iron-level purple cards.
Thinking of this, she turned to Du Heng and asked, "How is it, are you sure?"
Du Heng raised his eyebrows upon hearing this and said with a confident smile: "If it's Russell, it might be a little tricky."
"Will you lose?"
"It will win."
"Fortunately it's not the red-haired one, otherwise we would have to fight until the whole road was wiped out." On the sidelines, Russell watched Du Heng summon a zombie covered with green hair, and secretly complained in his heart.
But to be honest, Du Heng's green zombie is indeed very strong. Just from what Russell can see, at least one of its abilities is to increase physical strength.
As for more, we can’t see it because the opponent is too weak.
As soon as Du Heng's opponent's card was summoned, it was pinned to the ground by the green zombie and soon dissipated into the air.
"Hahaha, you useless piece of shit! You're too weak! I'm not interested in you at all!" Du Heng laughed loudly in the audience. "You're the only one who can get into the key class?"
The classmate sitting opposite him looked pale and seemed a little embarrassed.
Song Qian frowned on the sidelines. In her opinion, Du Heng was going a bit too far. They were classmates, not mortal enemies, so there was no need to say such harsh words.
"Du Heng will suffer sooner or later with this character." Jiang Nanxi shook his head.
Russell nodded in agreement, and then said indifferently: "Why bother so much? We are not his parents."
Maybe Du Heng will suffer a loss, but what does this have to do with him? He and Du Heng are not related in any way.
"The next match is between Jiang Nanxi and Xu Jin!"
Song Qian's voice sounded nearby.
"It's your turn now, come on." Russell turned to Jiang Nanxi who was standing beside him and said.
Hearing this, Jiang Nanxi pulled up the hair scattered around her ears and said with a smile, "Thank you."
After he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the center of the field.
"What were you talking about with Jiang Nanxi just now?" Du Heng sat next to Russell carelessly.
During the match just now, he saw his two main focus targets, Russell and Jiang Nanxi, whispering to each other off the court.
Silently moving his butt, Russell looked into Du Heng's eyes and said sincerely: "Nothing, it's just that you are too strong, we don't think we can beat you."
Du Heng naturally heard Russell's sarcasm: "Tsk, you are such a sharp-tongued guy. I hope you can be so tough on the court later."
Russell sighed inwardly, wondering why this child was so violent.
Without responding to Du Heng's words, Russell turned his gaze back to the field.
But the situation on the field left him a little confused.
Jiang Nanxi's opponent's card was seen staring blankly into space on the field.
Jiang Nanxi's three-tailed fox leisurely strolled to the opponent's card.
As the claw was extended, the opponent's card was killed.
Russell frowned when he saw this: "Illusion?"
At this moment, Russell had some unreasonable associations.
I don't know which one is stronger, Itachi Uchiha's illusion or the fox's illusion.
In the next round, Russell, Du Heng and Jiang Nanxi still didn't meet.
The three men's opponents still shattered at the slightest touch.
As it stands now, the three of them are far ahead in the key classes.
If no one had an epiphany one day, it would probably be the three of them who would go to the Ning'an District's four schools joint entrance exam a month later.
This made Russell suspect that it was Victoria Song who was behind this, but then he found his idea a little funny.
This is only the first ranking test, and if anyone is dissatisfied with the ranking, they can apply to compete with the target.
Of course, you can only apply once a week, otherwise it will be endless and you won’t be able to attend classes.
"Pa pa." Victoria Song clapped her hands to attract the students' attention. "Because there are only three students left, Russell, Du Heng, and Jiang Nanxi, one student will be given a bye and advance directly to the final round in the next round."
In fact, it would be more reasonable for the player with a bye to play against the loser of the next round, but after all, there is a one-day cooldown period after a card dies.
Looking at the note in her hand, Victoria Song said loudly: "The next round is..."
