Capítulo 46: Scissors
At the same time as Han Dong and Pasha teamed up and left the forest together.
If one were to move up in the sky and overlook the entire Dark moon Forest... Han Dong and his team would only be two dots in the vast forest, moving around in a small area of the Dark moon Forest.
Overview of the Dark moon Forest.
There were as many as forty of these "huts" like this, all of which stored various strange trinkets or props inside, all of which corresponded to different demons and monsters, and were used for the New Life Test.
That's right.
The total number of participants in this year's Sacred City Festival was thirty-two thousand people.
The [Festival Plaza] that Han Dong was in was merely a concentration area for participants in the southern part of the Holy City.
The new students who came out of the Fate Space alive and were given the title of "Trainee Knight" were only about 400... [Crusader] and [Library] were the hottest professions.
About two hundred people chose these two major professions.
[Machinery] was next, with about eighty people choosing it.
[Control] came in second to last, with about seventy people choosing it.
[Mysticism] was at the bottom, and it could be said that every year, there were also eight more people choosing it this year than last year, with a total of around forty people choosing it.
Most of the students who went to the faculty at different times to register would be in the faculty building or attached building for the relevant pre-school tests.
The [Crusade] was simple, firstly, they would complete the basic tests of strength, speed, reaction, etc. in front of various instruments.
After that, only the use of weapons such as 'Sword Art', 'Boxing', 'Shield', or 'Giant Axe' is considered complete with the permission of one instructor.
A trainee knight majoring in [Library] has to go through a two-step process, first of all, a 'magic detector' to determine one's magic affinity and bias.
After that, you need to learn the most basic main series magic and cast it successfully within three days.
[Machinery] Faculty.
Students who have achieved a certain level of success in crafting are exempted from the test.
Other students can either analyze the structure of a precision machine and draw it on the spot, or use a musket to shoot at the target.
Students majoring in [Control] are required to control ordinary creatures (non-magical creatures) kept in the farm inside the academy, and as long as they can control an ordinary creature within 30 minutes, they will pass the test without any danger.
Only [Mystic Studies] is different.
Only a small number of students were taking standardized and non-dangerous tests in the Mystic Studies building.
However, all students who were slightly 'special' would be placed in the Dark Moon Forest to take a thrilling test with a certain amount of danger.
That was why some young people from the middle and high classes who knew the inside story didn't choose [Mysticism].
There was no need to take risks with the title of 'Trainee Knight'.
It would be too bad to die on the way to school if you were about to enter the school to carry out systematic and standardized studies to develop your potential... Therefore, Mystic Studies had become the most indifferent faculty.
This is why Mystic Studies has become the most unpopular faculty, and this is why the entrance test is required by the top management of Mystic Academy.
The reason for setting up such a frightening test full of danger was to let the new knight trainees understand that once they stepped on the path of [Mystic Studies], the future would be full of endless unknown and fear.
Mental preparations must be made in advance.
.......
Click, click, click.
The weird sound of scissors made Han Dong's heart tighten.
It was the same feeling as being stalked by an evil spirit in the Sinister movie...it was creepy.
Han Dong snapped back and looked at the dead tree behind him.
Who knew, the sound of scissors quickly changed and went in another direction.
As Han Dong sought to check, the scissor sound would always change instantly.
As it was impossible to lock onto the target, this left Han Dong with no end in mind... Once he was attacked by surprise, he would be in real trouble.
"Han Dong, do you want me to come out and help... It's a bit strange to be staring at you.", Chen Li's voice echoed in its brain.
"You can't come out yet, it's a test in the academy and I have to take care of it myself. Right now, I don't have a legitimate reason to explain your presence..."
"What if your life is in danger?" Chen Li's words contained a very small amount of concern.
"You make up your own mind."
........
At the end of the communication.
Han Dong immediately looked at Pasha who possessed the ability to 'divination'.
Hearing the bizarre scissors, she was afraid but tried to remain calm and observe around.
"Didn't you say that you know how to divine? Can you find out where the other guy is?"
"Ca... can. As long as you divine through the 'medium', you can always determine its direction."
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"Because...once the divination is performed, the target will be locked onto me..."
"If we can't locate the target, we might all die here... The medium, is it something in the metal box?"
"Yes."
Han Dong immediately opened the metal box, reached out and cupped a piece of frosted feel dry eyelid and handed it to Pasha, "Lock on to the target's location, I'll figure it out."
"O... okay."
Pasha pulled out an old kind of metal compass.
Bringing the 'medium' close to the compass and chanting something, a grayish-white energy was seen flowing from between Pasha's palms, causing the medium to connect with the compass.
The simple ritual was complete.
In this way, the pointer would point to the 'scissor monster' hiding in the shadows the entire time.
Only, the current pointer wasn't pointing in a certain direction, it was spinning in rapid circles!
It was as if the target was moving around at super-fast speeds.
"Impossible... the intensity of the test can't be that high... if the movement speed is really that fast, we're no match! The pointer is limited to pointing out the position of the target in the horizontal direction.
The only possibility is...the target is located at the same vertical coordinates as us.
"Watch out!!!"
Han Dong looked up abruptly, but there was nothing on the branches above his head.
There was only one possibility-[Underground].
Clack!
The monster seemed to realize its position was exposed and no longer hidden!
A pair of silver glittering scissors protruded from between the soil....
Indeed, as Pasha had said.
Due to her directional divination, the monster's target was locked on her body.
Kacha! (scissors closing)
Blood splashed on the land.
The sharp scissors actually severed the hamstring at Pasha's ankle in an instant... Pasha screamed and her body fell backwards.
Danger!
The scissors moved back immediately as they cut the air-foot tendons... Once Pasha fell like this, the back of her head would land on the sharp scissors.
A green light shot out, pointing at the soil corresponding to the scissors.
Pestilence ignored the obstruction of the soil and acted directly on the strange form hidden at the lower end.
A strange, dull scream is emitted and the scissors are withdrawn.
Pasha also saved her life as a result.
The green light was the plague energy that Han Dong had shot out by borrowing the Fate Weapon.
"This test arranged by the Department of Mysteries is for real! If I hadn't acted in time just now...the girl would have been dead, right? A talent that was not easily selected through Destiny Space, and you just don't want it!?"
For a moment, Han Dong brought up all his attention and went into the same state of concentration he had when facing death directly.
