Chapter 758 Battle Arrangements
The promised fight between rookies turned into a battle with official gladiators. After hearing the bad news, most people's expressions changed.
Of course there are people who don’t care, such as Bach.
He walked directly to the place where the lot was drawn, grabbed a wooden sign at random, and handed it to the trainer on the side. The latter looked at the name on the wooden sign and read, "Bach, vs. Postumus." "
He then wrote Bach's name on the other side of the wooden sign to record the arrangements for this round.
Bach grinned, "Tell that guy to clean up and wait for me!"
After saying that, he walked off the lottery table. When he was leaving the stage, he didn't forget to look at Zhang Heng again.
Of course Gabi also noticed Bach's behavior of peeking at Zhang Heng during this period. He also knew that Bach had a fight with Zhang Heng and Bach won, but the specific details were not clear, so it was difficult for him to understand Bach. Why do you care so much about Zhang Heng? It even made Gabi doubt Bach's sexual orientation.
Bach drew the first lot, which was a start for everyone.
The devil training during this period also allowed Gabi to successfully establish his prestige. Now that the assessment has been decided by him, everyone can only bite the bullet and abide by the new rules, although not everyone is like Bach. He is so talented that he doesn't even look down on formal gladiators. But after all, in addition to winning the direct assessment, the loser may also be judged as qualified by Gabby because of his outstanding performance.
As long as you can work hard to show yourself, there is still hope of passing the assessment.
Of course, this also has a lot to do with the opponent drawn. The best opponent is someone who has just become an official gladiator. The gap between the two sides is not big. There will be some in this battle, or those who are not. A famous gladiator with many defeats, he was also a soft persimmon that everyone liked.
Of course, the worst thing is to run into those veteran gladiators who are famous and have rich combat experience. The battle is often over in just a moment. As long as they discover your flaw, you will basically be gone in the next round. There is no chance to fight back. In this way, no training results can be shown, and the possibility of passing the assessment will naturally become very low.
Zhang Heng still waited until half of the people had drawn lots before taking the stage.
In the eyes of others, his luck was not very good. He drew an old gladiator named Garba. The 37-year-old Garba is considered an old man among gladiators, but conversely, at this age, he can still win the prize. It is impossible to be successful in the arena without two skills. At this age, even if your physical fitness was good before, it has declined drastically now, and it is basically supported by experience.
Looking at Garba's past record, it is very stable. He basically has no chance of winning against the masters. However, he can rely on experience for a period of time and will not lose too badly. However, this kind of person is the legendary newcomer killer.
The biggest shortcoming of newcomers is experience. Whether it is the control of the rhythm of combat or the ability to adapt to emergencies, these are not things that trainers can teach. They need to accumulate experience through battle after battle.
And Galba happens to be a gladiator with nothing but experience.
However, he didn't know what kind of monster he was about to encounter. Not to mention other aspects, even Galba, who was most proud of his combat experience, was no match for Zhang Heng.
…………
Zhang Heng didn't care much about the result of his lottery. Anyway, everyone he drew was pretty similar. After looking at the name on it, he handed the wooden sign to the trainer and stepped down.
In comparison, Varro on the other side is much more nervous. Originally, his level was at the lower level among the same group of people. Even if he fights against the same group of preliminary gladiators, he has little chance of winning. Now his opponent is a formal gladiator. , he naturally became more nervous.
After all, he has worked hard for so long and gone through such a difficult time. If he falls at the end, all the hard work he has endured will be in vain.
Varro took a deep breath and waited until most of the people knew who his final opponent was. Then he walked up to the lottery table and pulled out a wooden card with his trembling right hand.
When he saw the name on it, he was completely stunned. Then his face turned pale and his right hand shook even more. But that wasn't the end of it. After that, he threw away the wooden sign and ran to the side to vomit. I got up and quickly vomited the undigested breakfast in my stomach.
The trainer picked up the wooden sign on the ground and looked at Varro with a hint of sympathy in his eyes. However, according to the rules, he still announced the result of the draw, "Varo, opponent Habitus."
As soon as he said these words, the others were in an uproar, and their eyes involuntarily focused on Gabby.
Isn't this a bit too much? Forget about arranging official gladiators as opponents, adding Habitus, the school's quasi-ace, is completely bullying. No wonder Varro was so stimulated that he vomited on the side.
Previously, Bach was defeated by Habitus with one move. If it had been someone else, the result would have been even worse.
"Don't look at me," Gabi said calmly, "Habitus came here himself."
Is this the case? It can only be said that it is partly the case. Habitus did tell Gabi that he wanted to join this assessment and become an evaluator, but he specified that he wanted to compete with Bach.
Because he realized that the school valued Bach more than him, the current quasi-ace, Habitus felt that his position was being challenged, so he planned to take action to teach Bach a lesson and tell Gabby who is more worthy of investment. .
But Gabi told Habitus that the final assessment was based on a lottery system to ensure fairness and that there would be no pre-determined opponents. Of course, the main reason was because Gabi did not believe that Bach had gone through these forty-nine days of training. He is ready to challenge Habitus again.
Habitus thought the matter would just go away, but he didn't expect Gabby to warn him out of disgust and actually throw his name into the lottery pot. As a result, he was about to find a place to have a good drink. Unexpectedly, Gabi sent someone to tell him to prepare for the training test tomorrow. His opponent was a rookie named Varo.
Habitus was furious when he heard the news.
…………
On the other side, as the last person drew his opponent's name, the drawing of lots for the final assessment was finally over.
Depending on the opponent, everyone's mood will be different.
Gabi clapped her hands again, attracting everyone's attention, "The assessment will start tomorrow morning. The master will also come over to test your training results. I hope you can perform well. I can ask you for information about your opponents." Trainer, when the battle begins, I hope you will all be ready and not let your master down."
