“Chronicle Brother, I’m not feeling well today, so let’s not spar.”
Ginger Tea quickly replied when she saw Chronicle approaching.
“Card battles are not the same as duels between card craftsmen. What does your condition have to do with it?” Chronicle pursed his lips and swallowed the question.
After shaking his head, they went to Lu Youyou’s house together for a meal.
After eating and drinking their fill, the group arrived at the open space where they usually had classes.
According to the information in the training group, Xie Wenyuan would announce the rules for the second practical training session here.
Students from First High School, Second High School, and Taoli High School were already waiting here. When they saw Chronicle approaching, they could only force a smile.
Clearly, they had not yet recovered from the shadow of the previous practical training session where they suffered heavy losses.
It should be noted that two students from the Special Forces class were also eliminated in the previous round.
Who among them, besides Chronicle, could confidently say that they could suppress those two?
But even these outstanding individuals, due to their bad luck, were matched against opponents that countered them and were defeated on the spot, suffering a miserable elimination.
They were truly afraid that they would follow in the footsteps of those two if they were not careful.
As for Su Wen’s statement that “there will be no more eliminations,” they didn’t take it seriously at all.
After nearly a week of observation, they knew very well that this group of training instructors never played by the rules and always had unexpected tricks up their sleeves.
If they really believed their nonsense, they would definitely be eliminated.
“Fortunately, we have Chronicle Brother.”
Seeing the dejected looks on the students from the other schools, Ginger Tea couldn’t help but say this for the umpteenth time.
Lu Youyou also nodded in agreement at this moment, clearly expressing her approval of these words.
If it weren’t for Chronicle, there would have been more than just two students from the Special Forces class eliminated in the first round.
“Everyone woke up so early.”
At this moment, Xie Wenyuan’s magnetic and gentle voice came through the morning breeze.
Everyone turned to look and saw that he was still wearing his black-framed glasses, but he had changed into a more practical outfit instead of his formal uniform.
He looked much more spirited, exuding a sense of iron and blood.
“Now let me explain the details of the second practical training session.”
Xie Wenyuan clapped his hands to attract everyone’s attention. “This course is called ‘Tomb Group Battle’.”
“What is a tomb group?” Xie Wenyuan pointed to the nearby villa area. “Well, what do you think the houses you are currently living in resemble?”
“Tombstones,” everyone said in unison.
“That’s right, the term ‘tomb group’ comes from here. As for ‘group battle’, I don’t need to explain it, right? You young people have all played it before, the game where you collect materials from the house, combine cards, battle each other, and see who can survive until the end.”
“Of course, the association is not rich enough to scatter materials everywhere, and our training time is limited, so it’s impossible for you to gather materials on the spot, make cards, and then fight.”
“Reality is not a game, and it can’t be that fast-paced.”
“So… all of you just need to fight with all your strength using your own cards as a team representing your school.”
“By the way, the teachers have scattered several ‘Ghost Nest’ maps in the field as rewards for the winning side.”
“The courses related to Legion Cards will be held in the next two days. I believe that under the patient guidance of Teacher Su Wen, everyone has gained a lot of knowledge about Legion Cards and understands the importance of ‘Ghost Nests’ in the creation of these cards.”
“With your card-making talents, it can be said that as long as you have such a map, you already have the Legion Cards in your hands.”
“Oh, by the way, considering the number of participants, this Tomb Group Battle will be divided into two groups. Group one will be First High School against Third High School, and group two will be Second High School against Taoli High School.”
“Everyone, please do your best!”
After speaking, before everyone could react, Xie Wenyuan snapped his fingers crisply, and a moment later, everyone felt a dizzying sensation.
Their vision flickered, and they suddenly appeared in a series of villas.
“What kind of method is this? Hypnosis? Skill card?” Chronicle looked around at the familiar layout of the villas, feeling extremely puzzled.
But the abilities of the other side were obviously not something he, as a novice card craftsman, could figure out.
He could only temporarily suppress his doubts and summon three cards with a flip of his hand.
A blue light flashed.
The next moment, a spirited girl with a bow and sword appeared out of thin air.
Two figures, one black and one white, stood silently like wordless statues, guarding him.
With this, Chronicle’s confidence soared. He raised his head and confidently pulled open the thick, black curtains, but there was no trace of sunlight.
“Why is it dark?” Chronicle leaned closer to the window and saw that it was pitch black outside, with only a bright moon and a few scattered stars emitting faint light.
“It was just morning with perfect sunlight a moment ago, and in the blink of an eye, it turned this dark… Is it a Territory Card?”
Seeing this situation, Chronicle’s gaze flickered slightly.
With his enhanced night vision and memory after feedback reinforcement, he quickly recognized that the “Tombstone Group” he was currently in was neither the one he usually lived in nor the one assigned to the other high schools. It was a completely unfamiliar villa area.
This made Chronicle somewhat disappointed.
“If the ‘Tombstone Group’ where we live held this Tomb Group Battle, it would be a sudden surprise for the students from First High School who were sleeping soundly in the living room at my house.”
Chronicle imagined that scene and shook his head with some regret.
“But on the other hand, this group of construction workers is really efficient. They copied and pasted the houses for construction and decoration…”
He casually complained, then signaled for Yingtai to search for maps in each room, but they found nothing.
“It’s not that simple after all.”
Chronicle thought to himself, his eyes flashing without concealment, and he pushed open the door and walked out. The next moment, he felt the gaze of many eyes peering at him.
“Snap…”
Yingtai, who silently guarded Chronicle, held down her long sword, and her two spirited eyes scanned the surroundings like a female leopard searching for prey.But half a minute passed like this, and none of the onlookers from First High School who were secretly observing dared to make a move.
There was no helping it, the shadow that Chronicle had cast on them last time was simply too great.
They were not afraid of failure, at worst they could just start over.
But they were very worried that if they lost, their card spirits would be controlled by the opponent.
Not to mention that this kind of thing inherently had a certain n-t-r characteristic, just the possibility of being used, becoming a knife stabbing towards their teammates, most card masters simply couldn’t accept it from the bottom of their hearts.
It was also because of these reasons that the students of First High School stared at Chronicle again and again, scrutinized him over and over, but still none of them dared to make a move.
“Since none of you dare to come forward, then I’ll just go door to door to find you all…”
Chronicle muttered quietly, then under the protection of three card spirits, he walked towards a tombstone villa nearby.
A few minutes later, a figure named “Eighth Master” kicked up, and the door opened in response.
At the same time, a breaking sound immediately rang out, and a scarlet streak of light was heading straight for Chronicle.
