The mammoth lurking in the Alpha school

Alphas are a group of creatures who are very sensitive to the atmosphere of battle, not to mention Lu Xuesheng's unfriendly eyes at the moment are already obvious.

Jiang Wei was also puzzled: "Do you usually look at people you admire with this kind of eyes?"

"I have no one to admire." Lu Xuesheng immediately denied the wrong flattery he had just paid.

Jiang Wei also looked disappointed, raised his chin and lowered his eyes and asked: "It's only been 50 seconds, and I'm not someone you admire? Who occupied my position? Ask him to come over and explain to me immediately."

Lu Xuesheng judged that the alpha was just joking with him, and the vigilance raised by the sense of shame quickly faded away.

Back to rationality, you can't make enemies with "non-humans" during the exam.

He lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then raised his eyes to look at Jiang Weiyi, pursed his lips and smiled: "Now you are someone I admire again, temporarily."

Lu Xuesheng's face-turning expression made Jiang Wei startled, and when he was about to speak, the invigilator who led the team gave the order to set off.

A group of twenty examinees was led into a magnificent training building and followed the invigilator up the spiral staircase.

When they reached the third floor, the lights dimmed a lot. The candidates who had been chatting all the way seemed to be infected by the dark atmosphere. They silently silently followed the invigilator and walked into the spacious aisle quietly.

The decoration style in the aisle is the same as that of the lobby on the first floor. They are all in the color of white marble and gold-plated iron. The lighting gives people the illusion of walking in an ancient castle.

"This environment is not quite right?" Wang Donglai, who was walking in front, complained in a low voice: "The teacher brought us here, is it for a physical fitness test, or for an escape room?"

This sentence hit the minds of many candidates, causing a burst of suppressed laughter.

"Candidates from the first group to the fourth group, please stop." The leading invigilator stopped in the first closed training field, raised his hand and pressed the fingerprint lock in the center of the arch.

The door opened, and the invigilator turned around and made a gesture of invitation to the first four groups of candidates, and handed them over to the two examiners waiting in the training ground.

The remaining sixteen groups of candidates share a training ground for every four groups.

Lu Xuesheng's 11th team, together with the 9/10/12 three groups, walked into the third training ground.

They were greeted by two tall male examiners, wearing goggles and eye-catching golden yellow close-fitting rock climbing suits, with useless tools tied around their waists, arms and ankles.

"Welcome candidates to the first level of the physical fitness assessment." The two examiners stood side by side.

The examiner on the left explained the assessment rules: "In this assessment, the individual's full score for customs clearance is 50 points. For each additional member of the team who clears the customs, an additional 10 points can be added. That is to say, for this level, you can get up to 90 points."

The examiner on the right went on to explain: "There is a competitive relationship between the four groups. Only the No.1 group that clears the customs can get 50 points for individual scores and 10 additional points for each additional teammate who clears the level.

For the No.2 team that clears the level, the individual level score will be reduced to 30 points, and each additional teammate who clears the level will get an additional 8 points.

For the No.3 team that clears the level, the individual level score will be reduced to 20 points, and each additional teammate who clears the level will get an additional 6 points.

For the No.4 team that clears the level, the individual level score will be reduced to 10 points, and each additional teammate who clears the level will get an additional 4 points.

Candidates who fail to pass the test will receive a personal score of 0 in this assessment, but the additional points will be counted. That is to say, even if you cannot pass the test yourself, you can get extra points if you assist your teammates to pass the test. "

"Teacher, is this a sprint competition?" Candidates who didn't understand asked.

The examiner replied: "Strictly speaking, it should be regarded as an obstacle race. The specific competition method will be shown to you later."

A candidate asked: "We have five people in each group. If we compete, it is impossible for five people to pass the level at the same time. How should each person's ranking be calculated?"

The examiner replied: "The ranking is calculated according to the first examinee in each team to pass the test. For example, in your entire group, if one member is the first to pass the test, then all subsequent members who pass the test will have a personal score of 50 points."

Another examiner added: "That is to say, the rank of the No.1 passer in the group is the rank of the team's individual clearance."

Candidates whispered to each other, and roughly understood it.

Lu Xuesheng was slightly amazed.

Kyoto Mecha University is worthy of being a world-class hard-core combat school. The design of this first assessment is simply wonderful.

This kind of scoring rules can not only assess the teamwork ability of the candidates, but also requires each group to discuss the raiders. It can be said that there is movement in the quiet, and there is a team that wins by surprise. It can be regarded as a small tactical exercise.

In this kind of assessment, no matter how outstanding the individual ability of the candidate is, they cannot get the highest score without team awareness.

Therefore, some candidates around whispered that the assessment mode was unfair.

Lu Xuesheng quickly adapted to such rules.

Tactical layout is a compulsory course for mech lovers, and this kind of team tactics can be regarded as Lu Xuesheng's forte.

But he was still a little uneasy.

Because teammates may not be obedient.

If this is just a game, he can still prove his strength through repeated attempts and convince his teammates.

But this is an exam, and there is only one chance, how can he convince these alphas around him to listen to his "beta strategist" command?

Immediately afterwards, the examiner led four groups of candidates to the assessment site.

It is a field the size of a football field, empty, and there is no obstacle at all.

"Everyone, please take two steps back." The examiner pressed the remote control button in his hand, and suddenly there was a muffled rumbling sound in the originally quiet training ground, as if some kind of giant machinery started to run, and the floor under his feet began to tremble slightly.

"Wow—" Candidates stared dumbfounded at the flat floor in front of them like a folding door, which slowly folded to both sides, revealing a huge deep pit like a swimming pool.

The dragon-like steel wall rose steadily from the bottom of the pit, and stopped moving when it reached about seven meters, extending to the end of the training ground.

The examiner raised his finger to the steel wall rising from the huge pit behind him, and announced: "This is the obstacle you are going to challenge."

"Ah" the candidates were confused.

Someone asked: "The obstacle is this wall? Is it placed in the wrong direction? If we want to climb over the obstacle, shouldn't we arrange it horizontally in a row? It stands in the middle and extends to the end, so there is no need to climb over it." , you can run to the finish line."

The examiner replied: "You have to climb through this wall to the finish line. Once you fall from the wall, you will be awarded an individual score of 0 for this assessment."

"Fuck..."

"No, sir?"

"This wall is made of iron! The slope is so steep and slippery, how can it be climbed?"

"Teacher, are you preparing this level for geckos?"

"Don't worry, listen to me." The invigilator pointed to a row of army green packages on the shelf on the east wall: "We have prepared all kinds of rock climbing tools for you, and this iron wall is not completely smooth. Look at the wall structure, there are many points of support on the wall that can support the palms of the toes."

"Teacher, what you're talking about is the small pits on the wall, right?"

"Yes, these are the focus points."

"Just kidding!" The candidates suddenly complained.

"This is too difficult! Do ordinary candidates also do this in the first pass?"

"Are you not treating our special recruits as human beings?"

The examiner solemnly announced: "The assessment items for all candidates are the same. If you don't want to participate in this assessment, you can apply for abstention. Those who disturb the order of the examination room will have points deducted or banned. I will only remind you this time."

The surroundings were instantly quiet.

The first level of the assessment item is to get points, and the next four levels of assessment will no longer have such a good thing as additional points. No matter what tricky problems the school has, the candidates can only admit it.

After the scene became quiet, the examiner said: "The countdown is 3 minutes, pay attention to my password - first of all, when I announce the 'break begins', candidates please immediately go to the east shelf to pick up the package, and quickly enter their respective preparation areas to start Discuss assessment tactics with a time limit of 15 minutes. Then, when I announce 'Assembly', please come back here immediately and stand according to the group marks under your feet. Finally, listen to my announcement 'Examination begins', and you can start from the blue Start sprinting at the line and conduct rock climbing assessment."

The students were silent for a while.

"Teacher!" Someone raised his hand and asked.

"Please say."

"The four groups start rock climbing at the same time? In no particular order? What if someone is in a hurry and pushes others off the wall?"

The examiner replied indifferently: "This is a group battle-type assessment. If there is no competition, why do you ask you to discuss tactics in groups?"

The atmosphere instantly froze.

The four groups of students at the scene are all top players in the country and even in the world.

But in this peaceful and prosperous world, they are just a group of students who have just graduated from high school, and their claws and fangs have never really shown themselves to others.

They understand the rules of various boxing matches, but they don't know how to deal with such a "fight" without rules at this moment.

"Are there any questions?" The examiner looked at the confused faces of the candidates.

"May I ask if we can fight against other candidates before climbing? The wall is so steep, if we climb up and then fight with others, our entire army may be wiped out."

The examiner shook his head, turned and pointed to the yellow line under his feet: "Did you see this line? Only after passing this line can you attack your opponent."

Candidates are even more desperate.

"That means you have to climb up the wall to fight?"

The examiner nodded.

"Is there no other rule requirement? Is there a non-attackable part?"

"No, there is a full set of protective gear in your preparation package, which is enough to withstand the strength of the rock climbing process. There is an intelligent fluid protective support at the bottom of the pit, which can ensure that you will not be in danger if you fall in any position."

For a long time no one asked questions.

"If there is no problem, then, please get ready." The examiner raised his right hand.

Candidates immediately straightened their backs.

"The rest begins!" the examiner announced.

The candidates immediately rushed to the east shelf, took their packages, and then rushed to the preparation area of ​​their respective teams.

It was at this moment that Lu Xuesheng realized for the first time what kind of non-human beings he was facing.

When the group of candidates flew past him, the gust of air flow was like the gust of wind brought by a sports car passing by him at full speed with a distance of ten centimeters apart...

These candidates are dazed, but this does not affect their speed and reflexes.

Unsurprisingly, Lu Xuesheng was the last candidate to arrive at the preparation area of ​​Group 11 carrying the army green bag.

Jiang Weiyi and Wang Donglai were already sitting cross-legged on the ground and started talking about tactics.

Lu Xuesheng threw the package on the ground and walked to his teammates, ready to participate in the discussion.

However, what he heard the two discussing did not seem to be tactics——

"Even if you're really a gecko, it's impossible to fight on such a slippery wall." Wang Donglai looked desperate.

Xia Tingming, the only girl in the team, said boldly: "If we can't do it, neither can anyone else. The distance to sprint to the yellow line is more than ten meters. I am a national-level sprinter. As long as I run fast enough, they will beat you." Not to me! The task of sprinting will be entrusted to me, as long as I don’t fall off the wall, I’m sure to get 50 points for the individuals in our group!”

Lu Xuesheng glanced at his unreliable teammates with disgust: "..."

However, two teammates answered one after another: "Hmm! Makes sense."

"Isn't it appropriate?" Jiang Weiyi expressed his disapproval at this time.

Lu Xuesheng heaved a sigh of relief, and finally had a teammate with a brain for the exam.

But then Jiang Wei looked suspiciously at Xia Tingming, and asked in a low voice, "How many seconds is your fastest 50-meter sprint?"

Xia Tingming chuckled and raised his hand to count: "6.1."

Jiang Weiyi: "Not as fast as me, I'll take the lead, and you will cover me at the back."

Lu Xuesheng couldn't take it anymore, and stepped forward to interrupt the conversation: "We have 13 minutes and 20 seconds left to prepare for the battle, don't discuss your personal physical performance anymore, please listen to me, everyone, please open the package first, and look at the armor. Besides, is there any useful rock climbing props."

Wang Donglai complained: "That bare and slippery wall, unless we tie a magnet the size of a tire to each of us, what other props can we use?"

Perhaps it was because they didn't have any expectations for Lu Xuesheng's beta, and his teammates didn't take his reminders very seriously.

Only Jiang Wei unhurriedly opened the zipper of the package beside him, looking through the props.

Lu Xuesheng also squatted down, quickly took out the items in his package, and after sorting them, he quickly scanned every item on the ground with his lowered eyes.

In just over ten seconds, those peach blossom eyes narrowed confidently.

"Easy." Lu Xuesheng looked up at the four teammates: "No wonder we are only given 15 minutes to discuss tactics. This level is simply a question."

The four teammates looked sideways in unison, looking at the brazen beta.
