In a way, the Starry Knight Academy graduates could only be considered a second-rate "talent recruitment platform" in all of Saul.
After all, Saul was the center of attention in the entire Aishi world. There were at least three hundred training organizations and large academies similar to Starry Knight Academy. Starry Knight Academy barely met the standards of a first-rate academy.
When there was demand, there would be consumption. When the time came, there would be competitions organized by dozens or even hundreds of academies. That would be the "main stage" that was truly popular.
At that time, just being invited to participate would be a great honor.
At that time, it would be a trade between first-rate talents and first-rate academies. The participants would be as large as the core seventh-rate academies in Vila Nova Dônia. Even someone like Rorschach might not be able to receive an invitation … Considering that his head was still on the black market's bounty list, Rorschach might not even dare to participate in such a high-risk competition even if he received an invitation.
But now, the Starry Knight Academy graduates were given a chance. As long as there was a fresh graduate in the team, anyone could participate. In fact, there were even overage participants. This was considered a benefit and employment opportunity provided by the academy to the students.
Thus, it was normal for the Starry Knight Academy to not be taken seriously. But this time, an accident happened in the competition. When a giant shark appeared in the fish pond and started killing everyone, it caused quite a commotion.
"I heard that the Starry Knight Academy graduates are quite good this time."
"Let's watch the broadcast. There aren't any competitions right now anyway."
The arrival of the graduation season also meant that a new peak season for talents had arrived. Countless academies were filled with newcomers. Hearing that there were good seedlings from the Starry Knight Academy would naturally attract the attention of the audience.
There were far too many employers. Headhunters were probably the most popular job in this city. They were like hunting dogs that smelled meat and would always unknowingly gather at the center of attention.
Right now, cars and speedboats were rushing to the outskirts of the city. Many people were looking in this direction. The hired headhunters had also set off.
Perhaps only the contestants in the competition didn't know that the value of this competition had greatly increased. It wouldn't be difficult to find the next academy as long as they showed off some of their strengths.
But perhaps no one would have thought that the most picky employers had always been selecting talents with their own hands …
"… Lori, this won't do. He's different from what the information says. He's not tenacious enough to surrender so easily."
[Try hanging your head upside down a few hundred meters in the air. Then, cut off the rope and bungee jump headfirst. Let's see how good your performance will be.]
"At least it's better than this. He's already foaming at the mouth. Yep, at least she's a little better than the previous one. That one's dress was completely soaked … "
[How dare you say that! She's just a girl from the logistics faculty, and you're playing with her like this. How am I supposed to talk to her about joining?]
"… It's Isabella's fault. She was the one who suggested this."
Scaring a girl to the point that she peed herself in public, especially when someone was recording it … This kind of thing was inexcusable. Rorschach didn't hesitate to push the blame to the Game Church's' Root of All Evil '.
What if the number of new believers is lower than expected? It's Isabella's fault. It's definitely her fault. She's either messing up the event and scaring the believers, or she's twisting the teachings to chase them away.
XX had only worked for two months before resigning. What should he do? It's Isabella's fault. I saw her drawing XX and CC's hardcore doujinshi, and she even gave it to me to admire … The two pitiful children were so scared that their faces turned white. They probably thought that it was some kind of unspoken rule.
What if communication isn't smooth? Isabella! You're using your bandwidth to play games again?!
What if the new policy isn't implemented properly? It's Isabella's fault. It's definitely because of her unreliable plan.
Since many things were eventually blamed on Isabella, the Game Church had a habit of directly looking for Isabella to see if it was her fault when something happened … The problem was that there was a high probability that it was her fault.
[… It's not her fault this time. She told you everything when she contacted you. She's even preparing for her own doujinshi exhibition right now.]
"She said two days ago that if someone isn't willing to join, she'll test that person's courage. Bungee jumping with your head down is the most effective method."
[…]
Rorschach smiled and nodded after successfully shifting the blame. However, he didn't expect that his every move was being watched. His actions caused quite a commotion.
"He doesn't think it's enough? Those are all his classmates, right? "
"Six of them fainted from fear, and three of them lost control of their bowels … How pitiful. This is probably the most pitiful batch ever. These young fellows are pretty good. Don't do this. Will there still be employers willing to hire them? "
"Time and time again, he's forced them to their limits. Only then can he smile. His smile is so pure and cute, just like a child tasting candy. Does he enjoy the pain of others so much …?"
After all, Isabella was only a joke within the Game Church. On the other hand, Rorschach's young and tender face did such a thing with a smile. More and more spectators and contestants viewed him as a great demon king and the source of all evil.
At this moment, Rorschach obviously didn't know what other people thought of him. He also didn't know that he probably wouldn't be able to receive any invitations to his classmates' or alumni's gatherings in this lifetime.
Although he was complaining, he was actually quite satisfied with Isabella's idea. Using both psychological and physical pressure to force a person to reveal their true nature and limits in a life-and-death situation … In a way, the utilitarian and pragmatic Rorschach and Isabella, who had a wicked sense of humor, could be said to have similar interests. They were different paths leading to the same goal.
In reality, Rorschach was only testing the candidates on the list for utilitarian purposes. He wanted to test their combat strength and combat techniques, as well as their ability to cope with overwhelming combat strength, their ability to escape, and their psychological endurance.
As for whether or not he wanted to spoil them so that they could be bought at a low price … Would anyone believe him?
However, for the candidates being tested, they were probably like mice being toyed with by a cat. It would be difficult for them to die even if they wanted to.
"… That can be used too."
Rorschach satisfactorily ended the torture of this unlucky guy who was already dehydrated from crying. He turned his gaze towards the mountain range not far away.
"… I've already left so much time behind. They should have finished their preparations by now. If that Robbins is really as godly as they say, then he's a big fish."
After being a veteran cheater, no interference system would be able to stop Rorschach and Lori from contacting each other. Robbins and his alliance naturally wouldn't be a secret to Rorschach.
However, in the previous probing battle, after Sophie's camp was easily torn apart by Rorschach, the group of people unhesitatingly abandoned their camp and escaped into the mountains.
"My dear little friend Robbins, if you disappoint me, it'll be a great sin."
Rorschach didn't chase after them (he couldn't catch up anyway). Instead, he waited with interest, waiting to see what kind of surprise this little alliance would give him … He didn't know that his subconscious words gave the audience the impression that he was a demon king.
Rorschach turned his gaze towards the camp he previously built. Here, several giant treants were entangled together. There were annoying tentacles and roots everywhere.
"So, now that I've exposed my second weakness, what will you do?"
= = =
"The first weakness of Rorschach's army is that he forms too quickly, so he can't control them well. Many magical creatures move at different speeds, so it's not easy for him to control them. However, this isn't the worst …"
After completing his battle preparations, even though his heart was still filled with uneasiness, Robbins still confidently introduced his tactical ideas to boost the morale of his team.
