One Thousand One Hundred and Nineteenth, It Depends Entirely on Luck!
(1);
(Thank you very much for the 10,000 tip from 'Sister Meiqin'! As well as 'Scarlet Night丨Never Sleeping City', 'Mujin Missed You in the Past Year', 'Yakumomu', 'Empty City_Solo', 'Windless Sky', 'The Originator Invincible' tip!)
Presented on the light curtain and in front of everyone present is a map-like schematic diagram. network
An entrance is marked at the bottom of the diagram.
That entrance was probably where a wisp of green smoke was rising from Sirius Island.
The entrance is connected to seven passages.
Those seven passages, if you go to the end, you can all go to the direction of the exit.
However, in the middle of the seven passages, there is an extremely complicated structure.
The middle of the four passages are printed with a head portrait of a character.
It was the head portraits of the four active S-rank mages including Erza, Mira, Gildas, and Laxus.
The other three passages converged in the middle and became a passage.
In other words, there are only five passages leading to the exit.
Seeing this schematic diagram, Noah more or less understood how the first stage of the S-level mage upgrade test was carried out.
"As you can see, among the seven passages leading to the destination, four of them have an active S-level mage stationed there. If you choose these four passages and meet four S-level mages, then You must defeat them or get their approval, and then you can go to the finish line smoothly."
Under the gaze of everyone, Makarov first pointed to the four passages with the heads of four S-level mages on the schematic diagram, and explained, and then pointed to the other three passages that would eventually converge.
"And those who choose the other three passages that will eventually converge together will meet on the way to the end. When you meet, that's when the experiment will begin."
"I see." Gray seemed to understand a little bit.
"That is to say, the team that has selected the three channels that will converge will have to fight among the three groups, right?"
"That's right." Makarov nodded shyly.
"Only one group can pass through this passage,
so. No matter what method is used by the three groups of people who meet together, as long as the other two groups are eliminated, they can go to the finish line. "
"As long as you can reach the finish line, you will be considered as having passed the first stage of the S-class mage upgrade test." Makarov turned his attention to the seven teams on the deck.
"Only the teams that pass the first stage of the test can continue to participate in the subsequent tests. Finally, pass the S-class mage upgrade test, get the qualification to be promoted to the S-class mage, and become an S-class mage, understand?"
In a word, the members of the seven teams present all complained.
do you understand?
Such a clear explanation. How could you not understand?
But it is precisely because of this understanding that he knows how difficult it is to pass the first stage of the test for an S-class mage.
Of the seven groups of personnel, four of them will encounter active-duty S-class mages.
Only by defeating or obtaining the approval of the active S-rank mages can they pass the first stage of the test.
Defeat the s-class mage?
Even if it is a team of two, it is easier said than done if they can join forces?
Not to mention, almost all of the four active-duty s-level mages are stronger than the general s-level mages, and Kildas and Laxus are even more capable of challenging the board as the top ten saints. The magical Makarov.
knock them down?
Except for Noah, the rest are almost hopeless.
As for the other three groups, even if they won't meet the active S-rank mages. Due to the fierce competition, the difficulty of passing is no less than that of challenging S-level mages.
After all, it was a big melee of three groups.
Therefore, the difficulty of passing through the seven passages is almost the same.
Of course, if one chooses a channel that is guarded by an active S-level mage, it doesn't necessarily mean that the opponent must be defeated, as long as the opponent's approval can be obtained, it can also be passed.
So, with any luck, at the end. It is nothing more than four groups of people who have passed the approval of four S-level mages, plus one group that won the melee, a total of five groups will pass the first stage of the test.
But if you are unlucky and the passages of the four S-level wizards are all blocked. Then there may be only one group of teams left to pass the first stage of the experiment.
"Finally, if there is only one group of teams left to pass the first stage of the test, then the candidates for the S-level mage promotion test in this group can directly pass the test." Makarov coughed dryly.
"In other words, in addition to testing your combat power, the first phase of the experiment also includes testing your luck."
"Strength and luck?" Everyone nodded thoughtfully.
Of course, more people fell into deep powerlessness.
"Is the so-called S-level mage upgrade exam so difficult?" Lucy said to Kana helplessly.
"Let's not talk about the other four passages guarded by S-level mages. Even if the other three passages are selected, if we meet Noah, there is no chance of winning at all, right?"
"Don't...don't say such depressing words, Lucy." Karna's smile also seemed a bit forced.
"Didn't the president say that? In addition to combat power, luck is the test, right? There must be a way, right? Definitely..."
"I really don't have ambition." Gajeel said a little stiffly.
"No matter who we meet, as long as I join forces with Lili, we will definitely be able to pass."
"Hmph." Lili folded his arms and smiled slightly.
"Let me see just how powerful the S-rank mages of this guild are."
"Zhu Bian just hopes not to meet Lord Noah." Zhu Bian almost shed tears.
"Otherwise, Zhu Bian will simply abstain."
"You can't give up easily, Jubian." Leibby cheered up for Zhubian.
"Even if you meet Noah, there will be a way."
"Are you fighting the active S-rank mages?" Gray glanced at Freed as he looked at the passage marked with the heads of four S-rank mages.
"If you meet Laxus, you can't let the water go."
"Of course." Fried's expression didn't change.
"Let Laxus see my growth, then Laxus will be happy too?"
"Man!" Elfman yelled, but a big drop of cold sweat rolled down his forehead.
"Luck is a man!"
"I don't understand what this sentence means." Lisanna sighed, and then became happy.
"It seems that brother Noah is the most likely candidate for this year's S-class mage upgrade exam."
"Enn!" Wendy nodded repeatedly, and happily said to Noah.
"Brother Noah, even if he meets an active S-rank mage, he will definitely not lose!"
Hearing this, Noah smiled slightly and looked in the direction of Sirius Island, his fighting spirit burning in his eyes.
Seeing this, Makarov suddenly showed a weird smile.
"Then, the first phase of the s-level mage upgrade test begins now!"
"Start now?" Everyone was stunned.
Now?
But it's still at sea right now?
While the rest of the people were still in a daze, Noah smiled wryly.
"So that's the case, is that the case?"
After saying that, Noah turned around suddenly, and hugged Wendy who was at a loss, and the boots under his feet suddenly spread out a pair of wings.
Immediately, Noah's figure directly turned into a streamer, flying towards the direction of Sirius Island.
Seeing this scene, everyone reacted, and their faces turned green and white.
"Stop!"
The whole deck suddenly became chaotic.
...
Under the effect of Hermes' boots, Noah, who turned into a streamer and flew towards the direction of Sirius Island, landed in a place where smoke was coming out.
At this time, the seven roads are completely presented in front of Noah.
"Wendy." Noah put down Wendy in his arms and asked.
"Can you smell which aisle the four S-class mages are in?"
Hearing this, Wendy slightly raised the tip of her nose, then shook her head.
"No, there are many inexplicable smells mixed in the air, and I don't know which one belongs to Miss Erza and Miss Mira."
"Isn't it that easy?" Noah nodded without the slightest surprise, glanced around the seven passages, and settled on one of them in the next second.
"Since you can't play tricks, it's all about luck!"
"En!" Wendy nodded heavily, clenched her fists, looking cute.
"Brother Noah, no matter who you meet, you won't lose!"
Noah rubbed Wendy's little head, and then led Wendy into one of the passages. (To be continued.)
