"Therefore, think carefully before making your choice, otherwise, if the opponent you choose exceeds your capability, it would be equivalent to wasting a chance."
"If all three challenges are failed, it means you are eliminated from this university selection and will have to wait until next year to try again."
"This university selection will last until midnight, and those who have not completed the challenge by midnight will also be considered eliminated. Let's begin."
After speaking, Lara turned and returned to her seat. Amith frowned slightly, looking at Lara. "Professor Lara, the rules you've set seem simple and direct, but for those newcomers, the difficulty is quite high."
Lara glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "Are you talking about the asymmetry of information?"
Amith nodded. "The talents represented by those students are not bad, and they've spent a year in their respective academies. Although newcomers can roughly gauge the students' level by the badge and their professional emblem on the forehead,"
"The apparent level and actual combat power are completely different things. It is quite challenging for them to choose the suitable academy and opponent."
Lara remained calm. "That's why I gave them three chances to choose."
"If they aren't brainless fools, they should make a conservative choice first, at least to ensure they aren't eliminated."
"Based on this, they can then strive for a better, more suitable academy."
Amith contemplated for a moment and shook his head lightly. "That's true, but at their age and with their experience, not many might achieve that."
Lara's expression hardened, her tone turning cold "Professor Amith, have you forgotten the last world instance?"
"This..." Amith showed a helpless expression on his face.
"As a professional, growing and developing requires more than just talent."
"If they only rely on their talent and abilities to act recklessly, they might have a period of success at low levels, but what about when they reach higher levels?"
"Large instances, Slaughtering instances, world instances... A single carelessness in these high-level instances could lead to death!"
"How many so-called geniuses has our East Clear Empire lost in recent world instances from other Empires in Country-I? Let's not talk about other instances, just the last world instance alone cost us half our people!"
"And the Unmjia of Country-P, and the Hinajia of Country-C as well as those Yanjias from Country-T, which of them isn't eyeing us covetously?"
Upon saying this, Lara snorted coldly. "Over the years, our empire from other empire in Country-I has produced far too many fancy without substance wastes, all of whom are a waste of national resources!"
"What we need isn't just talented frontline professionals or more powerful Illusion professions, but true elites who are wise, brave, dare to think and act!"
"If they can't even handle such basic self-assessment and choices, even if they grow up, they'd still be cannon fodder sent to die, and students like these are not what Btira needs!"
Looking at the cold and hard demeanor of Lara, Amith shook his head and sighed without saying any more.
In recent years, the East Clear Empire of Country-I indeed seems to be lacking successors from other empires...
On the square, due to Lara's previous words, all the students participating in the university selection tournament began to chatter and discuss.
"Really, the rules for this selection are too cruel!"
"Exactly, although the skills of each profession are fixed, those student representatives have already studied in the academy for a year. They're definitely far beyond us in skill mastery and form development. Letting us choose like this is clearly not intending for us to pass!"
"What can we do? I just took a round, and those student representatives are at least frontline professionals, some even Illusion professions, and their profession level is at least 24 and above. Even if the silhouette can only showcase half their strength, it's still hard to handle."
Amid the discussions and complaints of the surrounding people, Bhavin Agnihotri moved to the front of the students and looked at the two student representatives in the center.
"Aanya, a Level 29 Elemental Controller, Jannat, a Level 29 Battle Mage."
Bhavin Agnihotri looked around and found that aside from this young girls, the highest level of representatives from other academies was only 27, and the gap was quite evident.
Looking at the two girls with vastly different temperaments, Bhavin Agnihotri mumbled to himself. "As expected of the representatives of Qinga and Btira, both are Illusion professions, and their levels are also clearly a notch above other academies."
Bhavin Agnihotri became somewhat hesitant. Qinga and Btira are both the best academies in the East Clear Empire, and whether it's teaching quality or the number of strong figures they've produced, they're equally matched.
For ordinary people, getting into either of these academies is a great blessing.
"Ha, Bhavin Agnihotri, looking at you, are you thinking about trying Qinga Academy and Btira Academy?"
Just as Bhavin Agnihotri was pondering, a mocking voice came from beside him.
Bhavin Agnihotri turned his head and found it was Sunil Parma and Heera Abrol.
Sunil Parma wore a mocking expression. "Bhavin Agnihotri, this is a college selection tournament. It relies on genuine strength. You might have found some trick to exploit a bug in the instance. Do you also plan to exploit one here?"
Bhavin Agnihotri sneered. "Whether I exploit a bug or not is none of your business! I don't know who tried to learn from me a few days ago, but unfortunately, their intelligence fell short. They wanted to exploit a bug but didn't even get the chance!"
"You!" Sunil Parma was immediately infuriated.
"Stubborn as a mole! Bhavin Agnihotri, today I will show you what a genuine Illusion profession is!"
"Compared to my Night Patrol, your trashy Mechanic can only exploit a bug, apart from that, it's good for nothing!"
With that, Sunil Parma strutted towards the Illusion Mirror in front of Jannat.
"Eatie Academy, Sunil Parma, Level 6 Night Patrol, challenging Btira Academy!"
(A/N: Sorry for irregular updates for past one and half month, because july 10th is my little princess, prince twins come into this world, so this will continue up to September. Because my wife need to recuperate from pregnancy, so I hope you can understand it. So you will see 2 or 4 chapters per week up to September.
And Country-I is divided into 3 empires, in that one is East Clear Empire. Other two empire players will appear in future chapters.)
