Chapter 750 Pros and Cons

Gabby's roll call continues, and most people have been assigned occupations.

The result is that some people are happy and some are sad.

After all, the purpose of the gladiator school is to provide wonderful performances for the audience. It also needs to take into account the gaps in each profession and the number of people it already has. Therefore, some people are assigned to professions that they don't really want to go to.

Gabi told them that if they finally passed the exam to become a gladiator and survived five performances, if they still didn't like their profession, they could come to him and change it again. However, Gabi also warned some of them, Before that, you need to put in all your efforts and don't be passive and slow down. Otherwise, they may not live long enough to change careers.

"Zhang Heng." Gabi finally called Zhang Heng's name, "Dual Swordsman."

Zhang Heng nodded to express that he heard it.

As the name suggests, a double swordsman is a gladiator who fights with two swords. The only defensive equipment on his body is a helmet. In other words, this is a purely offensive profession, although the gladiators themselves are not very heavy. Armor, but most people still have a shield in their hands.

In comparison, the Dual Swordsman is a purely offensive profession. Like the Net Fighter, the winning rate in the arena is not high, but the mortality rate is not low. However, this is the most suitable profession for Zhang Heng to exert his full combat power.

However, Zhang Heng's first choice was not the Dual Swordsman, but the Pursuit Warrior. The reason is very simple, because most of the Pursuit Warrior's opponents are Net Fighters, and Net Fighters are recognized as easier to bully professions in the arena. In addition, the Pursuit Warrior is equipped with Having a shield makes paddling easier.

Yes, although Zhang Heng plans to become a free man in the arena, he has no intention of letting go and fighting seriously.

Because being a star in any era comes with a price.

Take Sisnates as an example. He was the ace of the gladiator school and champion of the Victor Arena for three consecutive years. Although Marcus could not withstand the pressure of the audience in the stands in the end and gave him the freedom he promised, but in the Before this, he had been desperately trying to squeeze out the last bit of value from Sisnates.

Because Marcus knew very well that it would be long before the next Sisnates appeared.

As a result, some gladiators at the same time as Sisnatus had even gained their freedom long ago. Sisnatus was still dragging his deteriorating body to fight in the arena. Of course, in the later period, Macrus also gave Sisnatus Sis made many promises, including increasing his share of remuneration for each performance, finding more beautiful female slaves to serve him, etc. Therefore, it cannot be said that it was Macrus who forced Sisnatus to fight.

But it must be admitted that Sisnates is indeed a bit tired of his fame, otherwise he would have left the arena long ago.

For Zhang Heng, gladiator school is just like a driving school. After passing the test, he has no interest in becoming the next Sisnates and becoming Marcus's new cash cow. He doesn't necessarily have to make money by being a gladiator. No. It was enough to remain silent until he became a free agent, so he didn't perform very well in the seven days of basic training.

But everything has pros and cons.

Because he had always been quiet, Gabi had a slight impression of him because of the whip thing on the first day, but he never paid attention to him again. As a result, he was naturally put into the unfavorable group.

When the Chaser profession was already overcrowded, Gabi casually threw Zhang Heng into the Dual Swordsman group.

In fact, Gabi didn't have a bad impression of this Oriental who trained seriously. He seemed to be worried that Zhang Heng would think blindly, and specifically added, "This is only temporary. When I find a suitable candidate, we will let you switch to pursuit." "

There is no doubt that this sentence is a blank check.

Gabi's eyes finally fell on Varro, announcing the fate of the former antiques dealer.

"Varro, Net Fighter."

Compared with a few days ago, Varro looked very haggard now. Ever since he introduced himself to the master here, what he expected did not happen. A whole week passed, and he opened his eyes with expectation every morning. However, What greeted him was only hard training.

It was as if he had been completely forgotten. Markruth never came to the training ground again, nor did he send anyone around him to pick him up.

So gradually, Varro couldn't help but start to wonder whether he could still leave here.

Especially as time went by, he would always recall Zhang Heng's words that day. He wanted to convince himself that it was just random speculation without evidence, but he really couldn't answer that question directly.

Until today, he finally couldn't bear it anymore. After listening to his grouping, he didn't care too much about whether it was suitable for him. Instead, he said to Gabby in an almost pleading tone, "You are the person that the master trusts most. You can You can't help me ask about my matter. I've been waiting for seven days. Could it be that the master is too busy and forgot it? You just need to mention it a little bit."

Gabi frowned when he heard this. He had long noticed that Varro had been absent-minded in training these days, basically slacking off wherever he could. Obviously, although his body was still here, his heart had long since After flying elsewhere, Varro had even begun to figure out where to buy antiques and how to find old customers and make money.

In Gabi's opinion, choosing a career for Varo is a waste of time, because it seems that the latter will not be able to pass the assessment after forty-three days. His end will be to be sold to the countryside and work non-stop until he dies. For someone who has given up on himself, Gaby doesn't bother to worry about him anymore.

But seeing Varro's pitiful look, he felt a little compassion, and warned him for the last time, "Just like I told you on the first day, since you are standing here, do what you should do." Things, you have told the master about your situation as you wish. If you don’t receive a reply, it means there is no reply. Don’t make trouble for yourself, and don’t make trouble for me, otherwise the whip in my hand is not a decoration.”

"But..." Varro wanted to say something else, but Gabi impatiently tried to stop him.

"No more buts. You know I have the right to decide whether a gladiator is qualified or not. I can send you to mine right now." Gabi said coldly, her face darkening.

Varro seemed to be frightened by Gabi's last threat, with a sad face. Although he seemed very unwilling, he had to keep his mouth shut.

Now that he was talking about it, Gabi simply said it all, "I only paid three hundred sesterces for you. I won't lose money even if I resell you to the countryside. You should be glad that you still have the opportunity to participate in the Four Seasons." The assessment after thirteen days, yes, becoming a gladiator means that you may die, but at least you can die like a man in the arena, instead of dying like an animal in the fields or in the deep and dark mines. In the cave.”
