Chapter 156: The Second Elimination List!

Moss’s excitement for claiming victory had yet to fade as the system sounded on his mind again.

“Congratulations for activating Holy Belief for the first time! Holy Belief value +10! Current Holy Belief total value: 12/100.”

’10 points are equivalent to earning five times more than when I first unlocked Holy Belief!’ Moss felt a burst of joy in his heart. However, the system mentioned it was his first time activating Holy Belief, but Moss did not even notice it.

‘Was I too weak?’ Moss carefully recalled his team’s battle against Team Duke, but he could not figure it out.

He thought hard about it when a voice interrupted him, “Moss, it’s time to go to Arena 10. Our opponent is the team who just won their battle in their first segment. They defeated the Crimson Fires,” Bass reminded Moss when he noticed his captain was in a daze.

Moss collected his thoughts after Bass spoke. “All right, let’s go.”

“Don’t get too excited, Moss. Although we just won a match, I still can’t believe it. But I quickly accepted this new reality,” Alan teased.

“Stop distracting Moss from his thoughts.” Mill’s expression was indifferent as she faked being angry.

Moss did not let his teammates’ chattering bother him. Instead, he discussed their tactics for the next match. Although there was a significant gap between the Guardians’ upcoming opponents and Team Duke, winning the second match would mean the Guardians would obtain 25 points each.

With those 25 extra points, the Guardians would surpass the other 75% of students, so they could not afford to lose.

…

The training ground was still brightly lit and crowded later that night. After two days, 925 one-on-ones and 370 five-on-fives had ended.

The instructors in the stands were nervous then because the passing rate of classes they brought would affect their performance and welfare.

Still, the students were even more nervous, especially those who did not perform well during the test. They were not confident with themselves.

Although these results would not resemble the college entrance exams, they would indirectly affect the college exams. The local elite students catalog was well-known, after all.

At that moment, Bass only stared at the big screen with a dull expression. Mill noticed it and advised, “Don’t worry, Bass. Don’t be too hard on yourself. The tests are already over.”

“Y-Yeah!” Hearing Mill’s voice, Bass’s depressed mood improved slightly. But he had his reasons for being concerned because he only scored 55 points, the lowest among the Guardians. Bass barely made it past the standard.

“We believe in you, Bass!” Moss patted Bass’s shoulder and said firmly.

Then Moss analyzed Bass’s situation in detail. After that, the Guardians nodded repeatedly, and Bass felt much better.

“Hey, the final results are out!” A loud voice echoed from the crowd. Then more than 700 pairs of eyes quickly looked toward the big screen.

“1st place, A-066. Basic ability test, 48 points, combat test, 50 points. A total of 98 points. Their current level, 20.”

The students burst into an uproar when the results for 1st place appeared on the screen in golden font.

“A-110’s ranking dropped!”

“Of course, he only got 40 points in the five-on-five. Even if he added that to his existing 48.5 points, it would be impossible for him to get 1st place.”

“It’s all because of B-666!”

“But who is A-066?”

“A-066 was in the top 50 in the basic ability test. He performed consistently.”

The screen flashed, and the top 50 appeared on the screen, immediately causing a heated discussion.

“Look, B-666 has entered the top 50!”

“B-666 won all his battles and even defeated A-110’s team. B-666 is indisputable!”

“What, why didn’t A-110 make it on the list?”

“Even A-110 couldn’t reach the top 50 with 88.5 points. This test is insane!”

…

As more results appeared on the screen, the students who had yet to see their serial numbers became increasingly nervous. Some who did not possess a solid mind even began to cry.

No one wanted to see their serial numbers appear in the final elimination list, but they had no control over it.

Then the 55-point standard and 290 more eliminated students’ serial numbers appeared on the screen amidst the wailing. For a moment, the elimination list caused havoc among the students.

They cried and shouted with unwillingness, helplessness, and disappointment. There were also other expressions like laughter, cheers, and silence.

Bass was one of the silent ones. His heart was in his throat, but he finally relaxed after looking at the 55-point standard. Still, he burst into tears.

Alan saw the results and immediately shouted, “Nice! All of us made it to the next phase!” He encouraged everyone to surround, sing, and dance around Bass to lift his spirits.

The Guardians had indeed experienced many things together. Others only looked down on them in the beginning. Still, they managed to pass the first phase of the tests against all odds. It was something worth celebrating.

Among the second-year high schoolers, only six passed the elite training program’s first phase, and the Guardians accounted for five of the six.

Moreover, only five of the 135 students from White Deer City had made it to the second phase. The Guardians were one of the few teams from White Deer City to make it to the next phase.

Luck exists, but it only favors those who work hard and shed sweat. The Guardians’ efforts were not in vain as they improved leaps and bounds to stay in the training camp.

Moss was thrilled and proud of his teammates then, but he also thought of questions to ask Hank the following day.

However, Hank was the one who took the initiative to look for Moss to praise him and his team’s performance in the training camp’s first phase. Before he left, he pulled Moss aside and told him to go to his office later.

…

Moss noticed he was the only one at Hank’s office, so he knocked on the door and entered.

“Have a seat, Moss.” Hank smiled at Moss and stopped his work.

“Why did you want to see me, Mr. Hank?” Moss asked straightforwardly.

“It’s because of the research I’m doing on knights. Given your outstanding performance, I want to learn about your experiences over the last two weeks you’ve spent here and discuss some things with you,” Hank said humbly.

“Okay, Mr. Hank. I also have some questions to ask you, if you don’t mind,” Moss replied.

Thus, the old and the young communicated happily.

Moss spoke about his experiences over the past two weeks, especially his time completing the eight Ancient Knight Mystic Realms.

Meanwhile, Hank combined his personal experience and research to analyze Moss’s growth experiences during his time in the training camp.

However, this process was accompanied by shock because Moss could not tell Hank that he possessed the Unlimited Evolution System. Moss had to use potential activation as a reason for his extraordinary improvements.

Thus, Moss’s potential index would be very high once analyzed. His potential index was unique, at least among his peers.

During that process, Moss gained a lot of vital information about the later developments of a strong knight, such as taming, equipment, mounts, achievements, etc. He also profoundly understood what levels meant: the difference in battle experience. It made Moss look forward to the Unlimited Evolution System even more.

Time passed quickly, and it was already past 1 am as the two communicated.

Hank was delighted. Although, in the end, he thought Moss was an exception to staying up so late because Moss’s experience provided him with the perfect material for his research.

It also made Hank more confident about his research and would help raise the overall level of knights.
