Chapter 172 - 85: Is being a sister-in-law not as good as being a cousin?_2
"The monthly assessment is coming up soon. I won’t ask whether you are confident or not," Yan Yao began. "What I want to tell you is that this time the assessment will be a real battle for you all. You will participate in an actual battle. I can’t tell you what the battle will be about. All I can tell you is that, to really hone your abilities, there will be no rescue in the assessment process. You can only rely on yourselves for everything you face."
The young knights were stunned at these words. A real battle? What was that? They all looked a bit dazed for a moment. Only Long Dangdang was startled and instinctively turned to look at Long Kongkong, who was also looking at him and mouthing something.
Long Dangdang nodded gently, and his eyes became serious.
Yan Yao continued, "What I want to emphasize to you is that this assessment is not a simulation or a drill. Remember, it’s not a simulation or a drill. If you get injured in the assessment, you are indeed injured." She paused, her eyes turning cold, "If you die in the assessment, well, you are indeed dead!"
Mu Yi, sitting in the front row, frowned and said, "Teacher, do we low-grade students need to undergo such a harsh examination?"
Yan Yao glanced at him and said, "This is the academy’s decision. Besides, although you are low-grade students, don’t forget that you are students of the Spirit Furnace Academy. You are not flowers in a greenhouse. Why is the academy sparing no cost to let you fight against simulated members of the demon tribe? Why are they constantly intensifying your combat experience? In this assessment, you might find the answers."
Is it time to confront the issue? Long Dangdang was slightly moved.
"Go back and prepare well tonight, and leave collectively tomorrow. Gather in the square after breakfast tomorrow. The teams will be as they were in your previous combat training. This assessment is very important, almost as significant as your final exams. So, take this very seriously. More importantly, you all must come back alive. Did you hear me? Class dismissed!"
After ending today’s class, Yan Yao left gracefully. As soon as she left, the classroom instantly became lively.
