Chapter 105:Rankings [1]
[A/N: For privileged readers, I tweaked the end of the last Chapter a bit; please re-read if you are confused about "portal placements".]
This exam wasn’t just a test of combat ability but intelligence.
Choosing a portal with less powerful groups means you can deal more damage to the boss and have a higher contribution.
But, then what about time and placement in the exam?
The portals with more powerful groups will take down the boss faster, and every group in that portal will get a high portal placement.
But, if you’re the only strong group, the boss fight will take longer, as, essentially, it’s just your group against the boss.
Choosing a portal with weaker groups prioritizes individual contribution to the fight, whereas a portal with stronger groups focuses on portal placement.
However, both matter in individual rankings.
Shaking my head, I watched as hundreds of blue holographic birds formed near the professor and flew all over the plain, delivering each person their team.
The entire sky was colored with light-blue streaks, as if a meteor shower was happening.
At least, the task and setting of the Practical Exam remained the same as in the book.
