Chapter 29: Dissatisfaction
“Diaz noticed Leia’s disdain for Tyr and immediately cleared his throat, saying.
“Lord Tyr, could you please tell us what the purpose of this assessment is? Avalon has neither explained it nor indicated any intention to set a time limit. This kind of aimless assessment can be fatal for other mentally unstable participants.”
After Emperor Diaz calmed down, his mind became extremely agile, and his judgment was incomparable to when he was fighting before. Tyr nodded slightly as he listened to Emperor Diaz’s words, ignoring Leia’s terrifying gaze, and replied casually.
“I’m afraid the main purpose of this assessment is to test our judgment and adaptability in times of danger.However, it’s a pity that, Your Excellency Diaz, you don’t even need adaptability, as you’ve just killed the danger itself.”
Emperor Diaz smiled faintly. He didn’t think much at the time; when he saw a monster charging at him, he acted on impulse. He hadn’t expected his strength to improve so dramatically. Even this kind of monster, which could enter the imperial palace, could be forcefully killed by him. In the past, he would probably only have been able to flee.
What’s intriguing, however, is that Diaz’s martial spirit remains at the level of Broken Army level, which means he has crossed an entire realm to kill a level six monster. Even in the past few decades, this achievement would have been considered exceptional.
“You’re all here.” At this moment, Dragon Slayer jogged over with Shating Iron Sword and Wind Slash Ghost. His relaxed demeanor contrasted sharply with the surroundings. Tyr couldn’t help but droop his shoulders. Indeed, Dragon Slayer was the Dragon Slayer. No matter what the environment, he could always maintain the most optimistic attitude. Looking at the others, who were scared out of their wits, and then at themselves, their relaxed demeanor was akin to that of tourists.
After inwardly criticizing them, Tyr turned to Diaz and said.
“Your Excellency Diaz, let me introduce you. This is my friend, Dragon Slayer. This one is Shating Iron Sword, and this one is Wind Slash Ghost.”
Dragon Slayer knew that the other party had fought with Tyr before and was a very powerful genius. She also put away her casual attitude and nodded slightly at Diaz.
“Your Excellency Diaz.”
Being greeted in such a mature tone by a young girl was quite refreshing. Diaz was slightly taken aback before responding.
“Hello, Miss Dragon Slayer. It seems you all came together.”
“That’s right. But, Your Excellency Diaz, isn’t Miss Leia not from the Duke’s Mansion? How come she suddenly came with you to the Avalon Assessment?” Tyr interjected, voicing his confusion. He remembered Leia was the one who escorted him to the station as a representative of the Yuehai. How did she suddenly end up at the Avalon Assessment?
“Leia sneered coldly, not in the mood to answer Tyr’s question. Diaz smirked and said to Tyr, who also wore a bitter smile.”
“Miss Leia did not have a recommendation letter, so she had to pass the assessment to enter Avalon.”
“I know that,” Tyr raised an eyebrow, then asked.
“Then why did you come to Avalon?”
“Are you a detective? When did you start probing into my affairs?” Leia couldn’t help but roar, and Diaz looked as if he had expected this. He had only said a simple sentence earlier to let Tyr know that Leia didn’t want others to know her purpose. Unfortunately, Tyr seemed to have misunderstood his meaning, and his relentless pursuit finally ignited the usually restrained Leia.
Tyr only realized at this moment that he had been a bit too nosy. After all, as someone who usually stayed with Yuelai, he had developed an inexplicable sense of familiarity with Leia, leading him to ask questions without reservation.
Sometimes, Tyr also felt that although controlling two people with one consciousness wasn’t difficult, constantly switching roles between the two individuals could be troublesome. Just like this time, when he saw Leia, he automatically slipped into the role of Yuelai. If it weren’t for knowing some basic terms, Tyr would probably have called Leia “sister.”
“I’m telling you, even though I don’t know what your purpose is for coming to Avalon, I won’t let you lay a finger on Yuelai!”
“Uh…” Tyr was taken aback for a moment, unsure of how to respond, and the situation suddenly became very awkward.
However, at this moment, Kaga, who was in the corner, suddenly spoke up loudly.
Upon hearing this, the three monsters immediately whimpered and obediently lay down on the ground. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the monsters had stopped attacking recklessly. Some people even sat on the ground, completely disheveled, and continued to pant heavily. They finally realized why the Avalon assessment was known for its severity. Who could withstand such a survival ordeal?
Ignoring whether everyone had recovered, Kaga continued speaking. “In this first round of assessment, the main tests will focus on your reaction speed, psychological endurance, and overall survival skills. Don’t think that those who are arrogant will have the upper hand in this assessment. In fact, the highest survival rate belongs to those who understand fear and are cautious participants.”
Kaga paused for a moment, then picked up a panel and said calmly, “Now, those whose names I call, please come to me. Tyr, Dragon Slayer, Diaz, Kelman, Ye Xi.”
Tyr was slightly surprised, unsure of the significance of suddenly announcing their names. However, hearing the name Ye Xi did catch him off guard. He hadn’t expected to encounter familiar faces in this assessment, especially considering he had never really had a meaningful conversation with Ye Xi before.
After exchanging a glance with Diaz and Dragon Slayer, Tyr nodded slightly towards Shating Iron Sword, then briskly walked out and stood before Kaga. Meanwhile, Ye Xi approached from the other side.
Once everyone had gathered, Kaga spoke.
“The five of you have shown outstanding performance in the first round of assessment, so you are being directly admitted without further testing. After completing the final procedures, you may proceed directly to report to the Eleventh District.”
“Wow?” Everyone was shocked beyond belief. They hadn’t expected such good news. This only added to the frustration of those who had been pursued during the assessment, making them even more displeased. They cast a glance at Tyr and the others.
Ye Xi possessed the peak power of the Broken Army, and they had witnessed the mysterious figure maneuvering around the monster earlier. Dragon Slayer had terrifying punching power; a single strike could probably instantly kill a strong individual below the Emperor level. As for Diaz, there was no need to elaborate; he directly killed the object of their fear, leaving no doubt about his strength.
But what about Tyr? What qualifications or abilities did he have? Just a calm little fellow? Wearing a mask, thinking he’s so mysterious?
At this moment, someone in the crowd couldn’t help but speak up. “Why is this Tyr guy also being directly admitted along with them? If he can, I think I can too!”
Once someone took the lead, other dissatisfied participants also began to question, their harsh words causing even Tyr to furrow his brow slightly.
At this moment, Kaga remained silent, his lips slightly upturned in an expression of keen interest.
However, at this moment, Diaz, who had been silent all along, let out a deafening roar.
“Enough noise!!”
