Chapter 408: What are the chances?!


    “Since eliminating an opponent gives 2k points shouldn’t I just continuously eliminate them without destroying their g?” Castiel voiced his opinion because he felt the rule was quite stupid and had many loopholes.


    “Firstly, the enemy team would destroy their g since points would be deducted for dying. Secondly, there are only a few people that can actually do that.” Luciano said.


    “Members of each team would be randomly selected, same as their g and initial respawn location.” Principal Lovren exined.


    “How do you guys feel about the exam?” Tessie asked.


    “This is a new kind of exam, so I am quite excited.” Castiel said.


    “Quite nervous especially when there is a chance that I would be going against these 2.” Brian said pointing at ke and Luciano.


    “What of you?” Tessie asked ke.


    .....


    “Boring...” ke said without taking his eyes off Principal Lovren. “There are a lot of things I would have aplished in 5 days.”


    ke was currently notcking resources and was a realm above everyone else, so he felt entering the exam would be a waste of time since there would be no challenge.


    “Same here...” Luciano said with an indifferent expression.


    ‘It must feel good being that strong.’ Brian and Castiel thought.


    Although they were quite jealous of how strong ke was, they were well aware of how hard ke worked to get to this level.


    If it wasn’t time for ss, eating, or missions, ke was either in his room cultivating, forging, reading books from the library or in one of the training rooms training his spells orbat skills.


    ke basically didn’t have a life outside these ces, and this made many girls that were into him slowly lose interest.


    “Well, I am quite nervous, but I am also excited about the new challenge.” Tessie said.


    “That’s the spirit!” ke said as brought out his fist which she bumped with a smile.


    “Since there are no more questions, we will be moving over to the random team selection process.” Principal Lovren announced.


    There were 130 students in the elite ss and 13 different gs, meaning there would be 10 students on each team.


    The familiarrge hologram cube appeared in the air and began toggling between the faces of every student in the elite ss.


    The 1st team was quickly selected and consisted of only 3 notable people, Kade, Haldor, and Owen. They were assigned to the red g.


    The selection for the 2nd team began, and the first face to appear was that of ke.


    ‘That was quicker than expected.’ ke thought.


    The 2nd and 3rd members of the team were demoted 2nd-year students, but the 4th face was Damon.


    This caused the murmuring in the hall to increase, but that was until they saw who the 7th team member was.


    “How is this possible?!”


    “Is it me or are my eyes ying tricks on me?”


    “This is definitely rigged, they just want us to lose!”


    The entire hall was in an uproar when Luciano’s face appeared on the floating cube.


    ‘Haha! what are the chances of something like this happening.’ Unlike the rest, ke couldn’t help but when he saw the turn of events.


    It wasn’t only the students that were shocked and confused by the so-called random selection, even Principal Lovren, Instructor Zirrack, and Professor Gibson had to pause and talk to each other.


    “What should we do now? We can’t just restart the selection because it wouldn’t be fair at all’ Professor Gibson said.


    “If left together, there would be no need for the exam because we would already know the winners.” Zirrack said.


    “It’s not as if we don’t know who the winner is...” Gibson said, referring to ke.


    “It is hard to believe that just the pictures of 3 students are causing so much trouble.” Professor Gibson said.


    “We have no choice but to continue like this. The only thing we can do now is to make the odds against them.” Principal Lovren sighed as he made his decision.


    “There would be no changes, the selection continues.” Principal Lovren announced causing the students to protest more, but a single word from Zirrack silenced the entire hall.


    The selection continued for thest 3 members of ke’s team but fortunately for every no other notable person was selected. After that, they were assigned the green g.


    ‘This should be fun.’ ke couldn’t help but smile. He didn’t care about the other 7 team members, because the 3 of them alone could win the exam.


    In a short while, 13 teams had beenpleted and they were given some time to get familiar with themselves and agree on the roles each team member was taking.


    “Are we not nning at all?” A demoted 2nd-year student on ke’s team couldn’t help but ask when he saw ke, Luciano, and Damon doing nothing.


    “Once we get on the map, I will exin the n so no need to rush.” ke said.


    This made the demoted 2nd-year student not worry again, because one thing that was clear to every student was that ke wasn’t just stronger, but he was also a good nner.


    After a few minutes, the students were ready to get warped into the map location.


    “May the best team win!” Principal Lovren said as he activated the warp arrays that sent them to the exam location.


    Unknown to ke and his team, not only had Principal Lovren sent them to the worst location on the map, but he had also put other teams in their element.


    Teams with mostly Geomancers were warped to the top of a mountain, those with mostly aquamancers in ake, and so on.


    ...


    “Not the best of locations, but it shouldn’t be too troublesome.” ke said after scanning the environment they warped into.
