Rob easily won the first battle without much effort. He spent most of his money, but it was still within his affordability. The magic materials were purchased from the Magic Association through D 'Idarion at a price close to the cost, and he did it himself, which directly saved him the largest production cost.
In the end, he spent 10,000 gold coins to make a total of 12 miniature magic devices. On the first day of the assessment, he used two of them and achieved a record of 6 wins and 1 draw.
In the draw match, he encountered a seeded thief, who was a grade 2 professional. However, his luck was not very good. The previous few matches were all tough battles, which consumed a lot of his strength. As a result, he only had less than 30% of his strength left in the last match. On the other hand, Rob still had most of his strength left. If the two of them had really fought a real battle, the odds would be against him. However, at that time, the future Supreme Magus Your Honor had already achieved a series of 6 consecutive victories. Rob did not want to stand out too much. In the end, both sides dragged on until the last moment and tacitly achieved a draw.
The most dazzling ones today were undoubtedly Lolo and Simon. As the only two grade 3 magicians in this assessment, they had sufficient magic power. Even if they fought seven battles a day, they did not need to worry about the problem of endurance. Therefore, Lolo blew up a lot today. Of course, this was also related to the fact that everyone did not know each other well on the first day. The rookie The Brave's three axes were unstoppable. However, Rob estimated that after she was studied by others on the second day, her lack of combat skills would be exposed. At that time, it would not be so easy for her to win easily.
However, this was a good thing for her. It just so happened that she could hone her combat skills. This was also the biggest reason why she participated in this assessment.
On the other hand, Simon was the one who was really stable. Not only did he counter every move, but he also controlled all the battle time to be within 3 minutes. Basically, his opponents were convinced that they had lost.
In short, it was fine whether they were willing or not. Just like that, the first day was over. Soon, the candidates welcomed the second day.
From this day onwards, the rule that people of the same major could not meet each other was abolished. At the same time, the normal battles were reduced from 7 to 4. In addition, the mixed battle mode was also opened.
The mixed battle mode included small mixed battles for 4 people and large mixed battles for 12 people. It was not mandatory to participate, but each person was only allowed to register once a day. The mechanism was a bit similar to gambling. The prize pool was composed of the participants' capital. In the end, the winner would take it all. However, it was not luck that determined the final result, but strength. In the small mixed battle, the default was to pay a win record. In the large mixed battle, two wins were required. In the end, the winner would get the win record of all the participants had paid, while the loser would lose the win record.
For example, Rob currently had 6 wins and 1 draw. If he participated in a small mixed battle, then his win record would become 9 wins and 1 draw. If he won, then his win would also become 5 wins and 1 draw. If he lost, then he would lose. If he won, then it would.
From this, it could also be seen that the mixed battle mode was a high-risk and high-reward competition mode. Opening the mixed battle mode would also further escalate the following battles and make them more intense.
Although according to the rules, the candidates could choose not to participate in the mixed battle, whether it was the top few people in the current win record or the bottom few people, it was almost impossible to resist this temptation. As the people at the bottom, they naturally hoped to turn over in one fell swoop through the mixed battle, and the people at the top would also become uneasy because of the existence of the mixed battle.
For example, even if Luo Luo won four battles today, her final accumulated victory record would only be eleven. However, participating in a large-scale free-for-all would give her 24 victories, and the winner would be able to leave her behind in one fell swoop. Therefore, even if it was to stabilize her current position, she had to participate.
The time to participate in the mixed battle was also very particular. Whether it was a small mixed battle or a large mixed battle, in order to prevent people from using the rules to gain points, the proportion of participants of each major had to be the same, and the required number of people had to be met before it could be opened. Moreover, once the registration was completed, it could not be changed.
If the above conditions were not met, it would be regarded as invalid and they would not be able to participate in today's mixed battle.
In theory, even if everyone signed up, because of the difference in the size of the mixed battle, there might be a situation where they couldn't be matched and it would be invalid. Not to mention that as the competition progressed, there would be a group of people who couldn't pay the admission fee. So the people who signed up late were likely to not be able to participate in the mixed battle.
But this didn't mean that the earlier the registration time, the better, especially for those whose strength was not outstanding. Because the most popular seeded contestants like Simon would definitely sign up as early as possible to avoid the situation where they couldn't be matched. So, the earlier they signed up, the more likely they would be placed in the same group as them, and the hope of winning would be very small. On the contrary, if they signed up a little later, there was a high probability that they would be separated from them and increase their chances of winning. But at the same time, they would face the risk of not being matched up with the number of people.
At this time, how to choose was a test of everyone's strategy.
But for an expert like Simon, it didn't mean that he could sit back and relax.
In fact, the next night, a big news came out. The ten candidates of the Archer Department had secretly agreed on the night before the assessment began. When the mixed battle mode opened, except for the three people who forfeited, the remaining seven people without exception chose the small mixed battle.
Their collective behavior caused the mixed battle in the large mixed battle field to be aborted because they couldn't be matched up.
This was undoubtedly bad news for those who had confidence in their own strength and planned to harvest points in the large battle field. Just when everyone was planning to praise the wonderful team strategy of the Archer Department, the victory statistics for the next day were also released. As a result, when they saw the number of wins at the top of the list changed to 14, everyone's face turned sluggish, followed by Rob's 12 wins and 1 draw. The future Supreme Magister Your Honor continued his low-key style. Today, he lost one of his four matches, but he also won a small mixed battle.
The person who had the biggest ups and downs on the second day was Lolo. Not only did she lose one of her four matches, but she also lost another victory in the mixed battle mode. Lolo's heart was now very conflicted. Because last night, someone told her that the mixed battle mode would be opened the next day. If she wanted to grab points, she must remember to choose the small battle mode. That guy didn't say the reason, but tonight, when the Archer Department's strategy was exposed, she knew that this matter had been guessed in advance by that guy. In this way, she unknowingly received help from that guy.
