For many participants, this competition wasn't that fair from the very start.
The outskirts of Saul were where all sorts of competitions would be held in Starknight Academy. And, the outskirts of Saul were surrounded by forests and greenery.
For some elves, rangers, and druids, this was just as comfortable as home. Many combat methods and techniques that could only be used in the forest would allow them to display more than 120% of their combat strength.
"Fair? Ha, how could there possibly be such a thing as absolute fairness? Only inexperienced children would emphasize so-called absolute fairness. Fairness is a relative concept to begin with. As long as the location and time are chosen, there will be advantages and disadvantages. Naturally, there will be those who benefit and those who are unlucky. "
"You're still not convinced? Then why don't we just hold the competition in a city and make these forest job class members useless? Or, we can just hold the competition in an ancient battlefield and let the undead job class members slaughter everyone. What? Dueling? You want mages to face berserkers at close range in an environment where they have nowhere to run? Why don't you just have barbarians attack mage towers instead? "
"There's nothing wrong with choosing a forest environment. After all, no matter if you're an Aishi or an Ansorenne, a forest is the most likely environment to be encountered in the wild. This is already the best choice for taking into account the majority of the actual combat situation … Fine, I'll be direct. If you destroy other people's houses and property in a city battle, you'll have to pay for it. It's much better to just destroy the wilderness here.
It's even better if you don't destroy it. "Many explanations were actually unimportant, because the only thing that mattered now was victory or defeat. Complaining about the battlefield environment? That would have to wait until you lost.
Besides, as long as you lost, anything you said would seem like an excuse …
To be honest, even on the point rankings, rangers, druids, and nature mages weren't that outstanding. Perhaps you could say that these nature job classes had an obvious advantage in the forest, but in most cases, they would only be encountered in the forest, and their performance would only be normal.
Of course, this didn't mean that they weren't strong enough in the forest. It was just that nature job classes were generally good at mobile battles and prolonged battles … To put it bluntly, they didn't have enough explosive power. In such a short battle, they wouldn't be able to gain any advantage in the short term.
They weren't in a hurry. After all, this was a competition that would last for several consecutive days. Resting up in such a long competition and waiting for others to show signs of fatigue was also a type of professional training … Everyone else would have to defend against insects, fire, wild beasts, thieves, and ambushes in the forest, while they could sleep soundly. Hunting and patrolling were all left to their animal and plant companions. This was their greatest advantage.
Patience, coming and going without a trace. Ambushers, peepers, streakers in the forest, and Beifeng. These were the labels that people gave to the natural job classes in the wild … Well, it seemed rather strange, but that wasn't important at all. You couldn't expect them to wear proper clothes in a forest where there was no one around. Druids would still need to prepare extra clothes when they transformed into bears. Since nobody would be able to see through them, it was quite normal for them to wear fewer clothes.
As for the latter … you couldn't expect them to be able to find cute girls in the wild, could you? Cough, cough, cough. These were all just rumors, prejudices of other job classes against the natural job classes.
Let's get back to the main topic. From a certain perspective, the nature faction couldn't leave the forest. Perhaps some people would think that this was a restriction, but in reality, most nature faction members were very homebodies. They couldn't be seen outside the forest. Meanwhile, it wasn't that the most powerful members of the nature faction couldn't leave the forest. It was that they carried a forest with them, or perhaps they were the forest themselves.
Nature job classes at this level had probably exceeded the limits of normal combat strength. They were usually seen as a nuclear threat to the technology faction.
Unfortunately, in this Starknight Academy graduation competition, this newcomer platform, where the average participant was only around the Second Grade, had encountered a one-man army, a nuclear threat that said "I am the forest".
"What kind of joke is this? Isn't this cheating?!"
"The information says that he's at most a Fourth Grade?! Your Fourth Grade looks like this? He's at least a Seventh Grade Quasi God monster! "
The main force at the front was a large green, brown, and brown Treants. As they walked, they spread out strange halos. The plants and trees infected by the halos would crawl out of the soil in the next moment and join this army.
Although the Treants walked at a slow pace, their large bodies gave them a huge stride distance. The Treants' movements weren't slow at all. Their large bodies and high speed were the most terrifying impact. As the trees on the side of the road continued to join this army, nothing could stop their advance.
Even if one avoided the front of the army, there was no chance of survival.
The man-eating flowers running together were like hunting dogs chasing their prey. Any lurkers would be dragged out of the forest, bitten, and killed by them.
The magic vines were like dangerous killers. They slowly crawled in front of the tree trunks, but when they attacked, the tentacle-like net of vines would have sealed off all escape routes.
The crazy forest poisonous mushrooms emitted dangerous purple miasma along the way. The flying birds that fell along the way dealt with their toxicity.
If one looked from afar, they would see a green forest slowly moving. Nothing was left behind behind their seemingly slow movement.
To the other contestants, this would doubtlessly be an incredibly arrogant provocation … However, most normal contestants would turn around and run when they saw this situation. Most of them wouldn't even be able to escape.
"This doesn't make sense. This has already surpassed the limits of his magic power."
"… Even an Ansorenne Plane's Warrior wouldn't have such powerful magic power."
Even the spectators outside were astonished at how powerful this army was. They were also amazed at how this army's expansion seemed to have no limit.
That was because you got what you paid for. Magic power was equivalent to magic creation. No matter if it was an otherworldly summon or an undead army, they all had to follow this basic elemental law.
Yet, this young man was able to summon an army of summoned creatures at such a young age. Not only that, he seemed to be constantly expanding his army. This was obviously incomprehensible.
Could it be that he was cheating? Had he started preparing all sorts of naturally summoned creatures here a few days ago? That was impossible. The arena should have already been checked multiple times. And, these creatures were obviously just born.
This didn't make sense at all. These experienced invigilators were here to select excellent seedlings. They never expected that they would encounter such an inexplicable phenomenon.
But when they saw the small figure on top of the treant's head and his calm expression through the broadcast screen, they all felt that this was only natural.
"After all, he's the one …"
But nobody expected that the person who was the most astonished, the most inconceivable, and the most panicked was the figure standing at the highest point of the army.
"I never expected that using the Forge Sage's abilities on plants would be so powerful …"
Meanwhile, a golden string of words had been flashing for five minutes on his communication interface with his companions. Yet, nobody gave him an answer.
