Chapter 653: Demon Hunting Squad
The sun shone straight into the room through the slightly opened window frame, shining on the boy's face. When his eyelids moved, the boy slowly opened his eyes. He looked out the window in a confused manner. Some people who had already woken up came and went, looked up at the alchemy wall clock on the wall, and the sharp pointer had already passed by seven o'clock.
"It's past seven o'clock." Jing Chen murmured.
"Bang bang bang..." The knock on the door suddenly sounded, interrupting Jing Chen's thoughts.
"Who?" Jing Chen asked casually. He had just woken up at this moment and his head was still a little slow to react.
"Xiaochen, aren't you getting up yet? The college has special arrangements today. Do you want Yanran and I to serve you..." Before the slightly coquettish voice continued, a "whimper" sound suddenly came, and the woman was obviously covered by someone's mouth.
Jing Chen slapped his forehead and suddenly remembered that when Mr. Mo left yesterday, he did remind him that there seemed to be something in the Central Plaza today, but he was too tired at the time and didn't care much. Thinking of this, he was completely sleepy and had no idea at all. He hurriedly got up and cleaned up briefly, dressed neatly, and walked out.
"You still know how to come out. I thought we had to let the two of us go in and serve you to get up." Ling Xue's cute little nose moved slightly and she snorted.
"Sister Xue!" Yue Yanran, who was standing beside her, glanced at Jing Chen and said coquettishly to Ling Xue with some dissatisfaction.
"Don't you want to serve Xiaochen to get up?" Ling Xue looked at Yue Yanran with a smile, and before she could answer, she continued to say on her own, "That's easy, I'll just go by myself. If I didn't go to hell, who would go to hell? If I had known this, I would have gone in just now, so why wait for you?" As she said that, she looked at the embarrassed two people with a smile on her face.
"Yeah, cough..." A light cough came from a distance, and the few people turned their heads and saw that it was Mr. Mo who appeared at some point.
Seeing the eyes of several people moving to their bodies, Mo Lao raised his eyebrows and said slowly, "Xiaoxue, you are the princess of the empire. You should pay attention to the influence, do you know?" He sighed helplessly.
Ling Xue disagreed and secretly made faces at Jing Chen and Yue Yanran.
Obviously, Mr. Mo’s intention here was not to talk about Ling Xue. He raised his head and looked up at Jing Chen, with a flat expression and said with a serious expression, "Xiaochen, today is the day for the college to officially participate in the war. I hope you can win glory for the college again. Be careful when choosing a team member later." After that, he looked at the two girls Ling Xue and Yue Yanran and sighed softly.
"Choose a team member?" Although Mr. Mo mentioned that the academy had arrangements today when he left yesterday, as for what arrangements were, Mr. Mo did not say that Jing Chen was too sleepy at the time and did not ask in depth. Mr. Mo suddenly mentioned it today, which made Jing Chen confused.
"Yes, every time the beast tide comes, our Zeus Academy will participate in the war, but the way to participate in the war is not to directly join the army to defend the city, but to divide it into countless demon hunting squads. These demon hunting squads will register at the Free Demon Hunter Guild and become a truly registered demon hunting squad. Then, in this way, the guild will complete the tasks provided by us students and help the Holy Spirit Empire fight against the monsters. Don't you know?" Ling Xue stared at Jing Chen with a big eyes and looked at him with a puzzled look. Even if these things are not known to the Holy Spirit Empire, it is almost the same. Jing Chen didn't even know it. This is really a bit...
"Oh." Jing Chen responded, then his expression became dark and he said slowly, "My parents and I have been living in a small border town in the northwest, and we have never heard of these."
After hearing Jing Chen's words, Ling Xue was suddenly shocked and instantly realized that her words might have hurt Jing Chen. Looking at Mr. Mo's slightly reproachful eyes, she wanted to explain but didn't know how to speak.
"Xiaochen, don't think too much. Your hometown will be very honored because of your appearance." Old Mo hurried out to smooth things over.
Jing Chen smiled slightly and said, "I'm fine." As he said that, his eyes turned to the direction of Yuege Linhai, and he remained silent.
Old Mo was slightly stunned, and then he understood what Jing Chen was thinking. I am afraid that this child was not hurting his self-esteem because of Ling Xue's words, but was aroused by the little girl's words.
Thinking of this, Old Mo couldn't help but sigh and said, "Xiaochen, since you understand the arrangements of this academy, you will go to the Central Plaza with Xiaoxue and Yanran in a while. All the students from the academy will gather there. At that time, you can volunteer to choose your teammates."
Jing Chen nodded thoughtfully, but did not comment.
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Mr. Mo no longer stopped. The silver light flashed and disappeared from the spot.
The three of them looked worried along the way, and no one spoke. In this slightly strange atmosphere, they came to the central square. This was the place where Anton and other members of the Jingmeng were mourning for a few days ago.
However, today's place is filled with students from Zeus Academy. Not only are there students coming for trials, but also senior students who should have studied in the Academy. Of course, many tutors are also mixed in. Of course, not only the students who participated in the war in Zeus Academy, but also the tutors.
The instructor will be arranged by the college to insert some teams with weak overall strength, which can ensure the safety of relatively low-strength students during the task process. With the guidance of the instructor, these rookies can also grow up as soon as possible. This is the college’s consideration and the effect the college expects to achieve.
When the huge alchemy bells on the tower of the Fortress of Cologne rang eight times, several figures appeared in front of the central square. On the stairs of the church, the entire square suddenly became silent as these people appeared.
Among these people are not only Ling Feng, the current dean of Zeus Academy, but also the former dean of the college, Mr. Mo, and Amandron, who was in charge of this trial. Of course, behind them are the senior leaders of the college such as the director of the teaching, Yue Zhen.
With a light cough, Dean Ling Feng said first, "I believe everyone already knows the reason why you came here today. Yes, the beast tide is coming again! As one of the top institutions in the Holy Spirit Empire, we who enjoy the protection of the Holy Spirit Empire must do something. At this moment, you can freely choose your teammates. For teams with average strength less than the fourth level primary level, you can apply with the academy. The academy will send a mentor to go with the team."
Ling Feng's words instantly caused a lot of commotion below. According to what these students have experienced or heard of, in previous years, only the average strength of the third-level high-level, or even the third-level intermediate level could be applied for a mentor to accompany the team. This year, it was actually a level four primary level. Obviously, this aspect shows that the overall strength of the Zeus Academy students is soaring, and furthermore, the danger of this beast tide is much higher than in previous years.
He glanced at the scene and Ling Feng pressed his hands with his hands. When the commotional sound gradually dissipated, he continued, "I think you have heard that this beast tide has already appeared in the first wave of attacks. So be careful whether it is followed by a tutor or a team without a tutor joining. Never be careless." After saying that, Ling Feng turned sideways and nodded to Mr. Mo.
Mr. Mo walked up and said slowly, "This year is no different from previous years. The size of the team is mainly five to eight people. The mentor does not count the number of mentors. You can voluntarily choose your teammates, of course, both sides have to voluntarily. But the college does not advocate the practice of gathering numbers. After all, this is war and not a joke. Your perfunctory may be to bet on your own lives, so you must make careful choices." After that, Mr. Mo nodded to Dean Ling Feng and took a few steps back.
Although Mr. Mo's voice was not loud, it was clearly heard into everyone's ears. Everyone present seemed to have a illusion that Mr. Mo was by their side.
Dean Ling Feng glanced at everyone around him. Seeing that no one wanted to speak, he spoke, "Now, we will start to form a demon hunting team, with a time limit of half an hour. If the time has not yet been formed, the academy will randomly allocate according to the situation. I hope all students will hurry up."
As soon as the words came to the voice, the students below were moved, and there was no need to find them. Most of the familiar ones gathered together and really needed to find teammates, probably those students with poor strength and no friends, who were the least likely to form a demon hunting team.
The wind blew through the strangely laid streets of the Cologne Fortress, and the entire city was under reconstruction. Ten days were not enough to repair the severe damage suffered by the city, and ten days were not enough to let the military families who had lost their loved ones get out of their sorrow. But the living still had to live, and the dead also needed rest.
On the central square of Cologne Fortress, there are still a large number of students who have not found a team that suits them, and there is not much time left.
Looking at the students who were still wandering, Dean Ling Feng coughed lightly, and when everyone's eyes were focused on him, he spoke, "Although I agree with your cautious attitude, I have to remind you that choosing a team that cooperates with you is better than joining a strong but unfamiliar team. This is not a personal performance, but a stage belonging to the team. I hope you can understand."
After a pause, Ling Feng continued, "There is another point, I need to remind you that the time left is less than ten minutes." As he waved his right hand, a light green light shot towards the sky. A huge alchemy clock image suddenly appeared in the air. The position pointed by the slender pointer had reached 8:22.
"Boss Jing, look at our team, are there only a few of us? "Jing Chen and Andong have already stood in the same place. Now there are only five people in their team, Jing Chen, Yue Yanran, Ling Xue, Andong and Ling Su, and the other teams usually form eight people with the upper limit of the team.
Jing Chen glanced around. Although there were still many people who did not have a team, most of them were ordinary people, and some of them had been picked up by other teams.
Seeing this, Jing Chen frowned. His team was indeed a bit unbalanced. Strictly speaking, except for himself and Ling Su, there was no real melee profession. Although Anton could also play in melee, he was not good at melee after all, and there would be many inconveniences at that time. Thinking of this, Jing Chen was also a little embarrassed.
Ling Xue seemed to see Jing Chen's embarrassment and said, "It's better to go to another team to poach people. It's better to dig a melee profession, that would be much better." As soon as he finished speaking, Anton and Ling Su both agreed and the eyes of the few looked at Jing Chen together.
Jing Chen shook his head and said in a deep voice, "It can't be like this. Those who form the team now, especially those with good strength, are all good friends. If we forcefully poach people, even if they are poached, the person will definitely have resentment in his heart and will be troublesome in the future. As Dean Ling Feng said just now, we are going to work hard, not traveling, and if we want to find someone who can trust our backs to the other party."
Anton was slightly stunned, and then he understood what Jing Chen meant, nodded in agreement, but in an instant he said to Jing Chen with a bitter face, "Boss, that's what he said, but at this time, where are you looking for the right person?" He said and looked around.
Suddenly Anton said "huh" and asked Ling Su and others, "Did you find out that there seems to be fewer people today?"
After hearing Anton's words, Ling Su was stunned at first, and then said, "Won't that boy Freding?" After that, he took the lead and looked around carefully.
After hearing Ling Su's words, Anton and his friends also looked around carefully. Only Jing Chen looked at the four people with some confusion, a little confused. So it was a little unclear.
"Not really?!" After a while, the four of them said in unison.
"No one?" Jing Chen said in confusion.
"It's the Fordine who was defeated by you, who was a master of Demon Swordsman. That kid has made great progress over the past year. At first, he said he would challenge you. Later, when he saw that Xiao Su was defeated by you, he stopped mentioning that matter. Why didn't he see that kid today?" Anton said casually.
After the words came, he felt a coldness behind him, and a chill came. Anton looked around in confusion. Seeing Ling Su's cold eyes looking at him, his face changed, and he hurriedly explained, "Su Su, I really didn't mean it. Just pretend you didn't hear anything, you didn't hear it..." As he said that, he tried hard to squeeze out a smile that was even worse than crying.
"You mean it!" Ling Su stretched out his right hand and instantly grabbed Anton's fat ears. He seemed to be about to enter a violent state. People around him looked sideways when they heard the abnormal movements here. When they saw that it was Ling Su, they turned their heads as if they didn't see it, but they slowly moved to the distance.
Since Ling Su was defeated by Jing Chen last time, although she didn't want to challenge Jing Chen again, Ling Su would always be in a state of anger whenever someone mentioned this matter. Every time she either beat up that person or went wild in an instant, and the person who was beaten up was probably Anton. Over the past year, the students who often walked around the academy knew that, so they had such a neat reaction at this moment.
"Ah! Am I late again?"
Just as Ling Su was about to go wild, a somewhat annoyed voice suddenly rang behind the people.
The five turned their heads and saw a boy with fluffy hair and thick eyebrows and big eyes appearing behind them. The boy was wearing a light blue outfit, and there was a sense of sincerity and perseverance between his eyebrows. At this moment, the boy was scratching his head with one hand, looking at Jing Chen and the others with a little embarrassed look.
