"Number 8, New Holy City Academy, Quinn!"
"New Holy City! An expert has finally revealed himself! "
"One of the 4 A ranked squadrons in our region. Furthermore, it's an A ranked squadron. They're not those A- ranked squadrons that came to make up the numbers."
"The New Holy City's ranged soldiers seem to be more formidable. Their captain's Holy Cross Crossbow is rather powerful. I don't know how their assassin is. This Quinn doesn't seem to have any reputation."
"Regardless, they're still an A ranked squadron. If placed in the previous competitions, they would have the strength to contend for the championship. Being able to become the mainstay of their squadron, how can they be weak!"
Finally, an expert had appeared. The large group of people below the stage started to discuss spiritedly, all of them looking at the somewhat immature youth with great interest. He appeared slightly thin and weak, with a slightly pale face, appearing sickly and sickly. His expression also appeared somewhat cold and callous.
"Number 72, Tianjing Academy, Emily Assassin!"
"Tianjing Academy, the academy that placed last in the first round?"
"It's just a C ranked academy. Wait, what's that girl's name? Emily Assassin? Is she from the Assassin Family? "
"I guess they have the same surname. Haha. If she's really from the Assassin Family, she should be in Saint Mongul Academy."
"Let me see. Fuck, she's really from the Assassin Family!"
"That can't be, right? Ha ha, this is awkward. "
There were quite a few people in the audience who were rather sensitive towards the name "Assassin", with their curiosity not being any lower than the New Holy City's Quinn.
The 2 most awesome assassin families in the Federation were golden signboards no matter where they were thrown. An academy like Tianjing definitely wouldn't have too much of a need to conceal their information. However, there were too few people who were willing to understand them in detail. What was a C rank? That was a rank that had long been determined to be uncompetitive. Other than the Giant God Peak Academy that had an eye-catching performance in the first round, the other C ranked academies really didn't have the qualifications for people to inquire about them.
"Ah, she's probably a newbie that was eliminated from the Assassin Family." Camus was still ranked within the top 5, causing him to be in a rather good mood. "She's young and a girl. That's understandable. I hope that she doesn't get eliminated in the first round. If not, that would really throw the face of the Assassin Family."
"In any case, she's from a family of assassins. Even if you haven't eaten pork before, you've seen a pig run. I feel that if she puts in more effort, there's still hope for her to reach fifty meters."
"Nonsense, at most 20 meters, ha. But really, if you look closely, this little girl is quite pretty. Does the bloodline of aristocratic families also inherit good looks? These noble women are the best. "
The few people sitting beside him started to laugh, while Emily appeared as if she hadn't heard anything. If it was in the past, she might have gotten angry. However, at this moment, she really didn't care about it.
On the contrary, the little old man looked at Emily with interest. Indeed, she had the aura of the Assassin Family. However, it was extremely strange that there wasn't such a dense amount of negative emotions. Indeed, the Assassin Family was extremely strong, especially during the dark era. However, in the recent years, their strength had deteriorated greatly. This was a double-edged sword. Although their training methods and strength were suitable for the dark era, they weren't too suitable for this era. It had been a long time since they produced any outstanding soldiers.
Quinn, Emily and the rest stood in front of the running track and slightly bent their bodies, adopting a sprinting stance.
"3, 2, 1. Start!"
4 figures rushed onto the running track at the same time. The overall standard of this group was considerably high. Other than Emily and Quinn, the other 2 people were from B + ranked squadrons. The 4 of them seemed to be advancing side by side in the first 50 meters, with not a single person falling behind.
In a matter of seconds, they had already rushed past a mere 50 meters, with a sudden change in the form of flashing squares, causing the difficulty to increase sharply. Only when they had passed the 100 meter barrier did a single person take half a step wrong and get knocked down.
Every fifty metres was a threshold. At this moment, the difficulty had increased once again, with the interval between the dodging blocks becoming shorter, from the original 0.5 seconds to approximately 0.3 seconds. The sudden increase in speed instantly caused the members of the second B + squadron to be eliminated, leaving only Emily and Quinn on the stage.
"That C rank squadron's actually able to keep up with that kind of reaction speed? Fuck, I've really seen a ghost. "
A large group of people stared with their eyes wide open. The difficulty of the running track was obvious to all. Quinn was able to safely traverse a hundred meters within the rules. After all, he was the mainstay of an A rank squadron. However, who the hell was that lass from Tianjing?
Pa!
A mere 0.3 seconds of reaction time had already caused Emily to feel the pressure. Her petite figure was akin to a gust of wind as she rushed through the runway. In the blink of an eye, she had crossed another 50 metres. Due to her inertia, Emily continued to move forward. Her eyes were already searching for a spot where she could land her feet. However, all of a sudden, she discovered that the sparkling square was at least 20 metres away!
This was the first time everyone had seen the last 50 meters of the CHF, causing everyone to suck in a breath of cold air. Crossing over 20 meters in a single step. How was that possible? Unless one could fly!
All of a sudden, Quinn disappeared from the corner of her eyes. He had actually started to retreat! Emily immediately discovered that other than the foothold 20 meters away, there was another foothold approximately 4 to 5 meters behind her.
There were 2 choices. Retreat, or advance.
However, with all of her attention focused on rushing forward, it was simply inconceivable for her to discover the sudden flash of a foothold behind her!
In fact, there were even many people in the audience, who possessed the omniscient view, who were unable to discover what had happened in the first instant. If not for Quinn suddenly retreating from the side of the runway, Emily might not have discovered what had happened. However, with her body already in the air, how was she able to find a place to exert her strength and retreat within a short 0.3 seconds?
"Quinn's observational skills and reaction speed. Tsk tsk tsk. He's truly worthy of being the mainstay of an A rank squadron. He didn't have much fame before, yet his strength is actually so tyrannical."
"That lass from the Assassin Family isn't bad either. She's indeed worthy of being one of the strongest assassin aristocratic families. It's a pity that she's still a little too tender."
On one hand, the spectators by the side of the stage were shocked by Quinn's terrifying observation skills, while on the other hand, they felt pity for Emily. After all, other than Quinn, she was the first assassin to reach this distance within the rules. Furthermore, she was an extremely cute girl.
However, in the next instant, an inconceivable scene appeared. All of a sudden, a wave of raging flames erupted from the petite figure, causing her body, which had already rushed forward, to be pushed back.
Pa!
Landing at an accurate and accurate foothold, she quickly took off once again! With the accompanying flames, Emily's speed had suddenly increased by a large chunk!
Flames increased her speed!
The final 50 metres was covered at an extremely fast pace, with only a total of 4 flashes of light. On average, she had covered a distance of over 10 metres each time. The fiery red figure had unexpectedly rushed past Quinn and crossed the finishing line. At this moment, the result on the timer stopped: "Tianjing Academy, Emily Assassin, 17.3 seconds!"
"New Holy City Academy, Quinn, 17.6 seconds!"
Emily's chest rose and fell slightly. Although she wasn't physically exhausted, it was mainly due to her mental exhaustion. If not for the use of her fire attribute special ability, she would have been eliminated at the 150m mark. Her observational skills were still slightly lacking. Although it was just a small gap, it was the gap that caused a first rate assassin to never be able to become an apex assassin.
She could not help but look towards the sickly looking Quinn by her side. The latter's breathing was somewhat uneven, clearly showing that he had given it his all. At this moment, a faint smile appeared on his face. Faced against a girl with such strength, regardless of whether she had used her fire attribute special ability or something else, she had indeed won against him. He had not held back at all, causing Quinn to feel admiration for her.
It wasn't easy for someone to complete the entire distance according to the rules. What's more, there were 2 of them, causing the entire stadium to instantly turn lively. Truthfully speaking, there wasn't much to say about Quinn. Being the mainstay of the few A ranked squadrons, it was within the expectations of the majority of people to complete the entire distance. However, Tianjing's Emily … one had to know that even those B + ranked squadrons, with 2 A- ranked squadrons, were unable to cross the 100 m mark in the end! What's more, completing the entire distance.
