Rogge's luck has never been very good. In the first round of this martial arts competition, he was assigned to a group with a junior martial artist.
The basic information of the students participating in the martial arts competition is completely disclosed, so Rogge easily obtained the information about this opponent: Lawson, 20 years old, with a strength value of 680 points and a magic value of 98 points.
After the first round ends in three days, each group will have two competitions every day.
The competition venue of Group 58. Rogge waited for about 2 hours. After the previous group competition ended, it was finally the turn of the 58th group.
Lawson and another student in the group competed first. Lawson's opponent's strength value is 480 points, which is about to reach the level of a beginner warrior.
With a shout from the invigilator, the test began. Lawson and his opponent were both swordsmen, and they both chose to approach the opponent slowly and safely. When the two were 5 meters apart, Lawson, who was stronger, took the lead in attacking. He launched his forward slash, his body suddenly accelerated, and the training wooden sword in his hand slashed diagonally down from the upper right.
Lawson's opponent also had some strength, and he expected Lawson to take the lead. He stood up quickly, raised his sword to block, and Lawson's diagonal slash slid down the sword. Then the body's center of gravity shifts to the left side, and the right leg suddenly kicks out, and the basic martial arts kick is launched.
Lawson quickly dodged sideways and swung his sword across, but was blocked by the opponent again. This time Lawson did not give the opponent a chance to counterattack, and his offensive attacks repeatedly suppressed his opponent. After more than a dozen moves, Lawson found an opportunity and launched two consecutive slashes. The first slash knocked the opponent's sword away, and the second slash hit the opponent's body, winning the contest.
"They all have some strength, but they are not as good as me." Rogge thought silently.
Next it was Rogge’s turn. His opponent was an 18-year-old girl with a strength value of 357 points, less than half of Rogge's.
The opponent was also an archer. After the competition began, both sides moved quickly at the same time. But for Rogge, the girl's movement was still a little slow. At the same time, activate the speed movement and weakness detection, and the opponent girl cannot catch Rogge's whereabouts at all. On the contrary, her movement was quickly and accurately captured. Rogge bent his bow and shot an arrow while running. An arrow shot out of the air and hit the girl's side.
The huge gap between strength and combat experience made this competition without any suspense. It was over in less than 10 seconds, and the girl was in tears but helpless.
Rogge ended today's competition and went to find Ofina. Her group number was higher so she started later. When Rogge found her, the little saint had her eyes closed, and her little head was about to fall asleep little by little.
Ofina is the star of the orphanage, and basically everyone knows her. When the three people in her group saw that they were assigned to a group with her, they felt only despair. They sighed like three big bitter gourds and lamented their bad luck.
After waiting for more than an hour, Ofina came on the stage. Her opponent is a 19-year-old boy who uses a spear and has a strength value of 380 points.
At the beginning of the competition, the opponent rushed directly towards Ofina. When a warrior fights a magician, he must first get close to restrict the release of magic. Ophina waved her staff, golden light flashed, and the light element condensed into four swords of light hanging beside her, making her opponent's legs tremble.
The opponent finally crossed the 40-meter distance and got closer. Just when he was about to shoot out, a dazzling white light flashed in front of his eyes, and he suddenly became dizzy and couldn't see anything. Ofina took a step forward to the left, stretched out her little foot to trip, and at the same time turned the staff in her hand towards the opponent's head.
"Duang!" His voice was clear and he had a good head. The other party tripped to the ground and dropped his gun. He covered his head and screamed. Ofina casually cast a blessing spell on her opponent. When he could see clearly, she manipulated four swords of light into the ground beside him like a prank. "Dong, dong, dong, dong!" The four lightsabers were so powerful that the boy was so frightened that he stopped screaming and just wanted to pee his pants.
"Nana, why are you still scaring people?" Rogge asked Ofina who returned to the stand.
"I did it to stimulate him. You see, he is 19 years old and is not even a junior martial artist. Isn't it a shame? Don't worry, he will be beaten very lightly."
"The loud duang was heard by the stands, but it was still light." Rogge thought to himself, but did not dare to say it out loud. He glanced at the bulge on the stunned boy's head, and was a little worried about whether the boy's stimulated mind could recover. "Hey, where are you going? Don't you want to watch the next show?"
"Don't watch anymore. I'm hungry after waiting for so long. Let's go eat."
"Okay." There really wasn't much to see. As the only intermediate magician in the orphanage, Ofina was abusing these apprentice students. Rogge glanced at the remaining two people who were shivering as they walked into the field, hoping that their heads would be fine in the next two days.
From early morning to dusk, the competition venue was not idle for a moment, and all the competitions on the first day of the first round were finally over. Except for some students who are relatively strong, other students are basically at the starting point of their respective professions. Most of them have few skills and a small gap in combat experience, so it is rare for a dark horse to emerge. The stronger ones basically won the competition.
…
The next day, Rogge faced his strongest opponent in the first round, Lawson. Both sides have recovered from yesterday's consumption, and are now in full condition.
"Start!" the invigilator shouted.
Lawson immediately lowered his body, activated his basic martial arts sprint, and rushed toward Rogge in a zigzag pattern. When a swordsman fights an archer, the first thing to do is to close the distance. Using a Z-shaped charge and constantly changing directions will definitely make it more difficult for the archer to aim and reduce the probability of being shot while closing the distance. However, this depends on the level of the two people.
When running in a zigzag, there will be an obvious deceleration when turning, which is a big flaw for experienced archers. Rogge is a very experienced archer who has hunted Warcraft.
The starting distance between the two was 40 meters, and they had to turn back at least three times before they could get close. The competition venue is not big, and the venue is relatively disadvantageous for archers, who cannot shoot from a distance. But the field is open and there are no bunkers. The best time to shoot is when the opponent is approaching.
Rogge activated the martial arts weakness to see through it, and did not move. He concentrated on waiting for Lawson to turn. Lawson rushed forward to the right for about 10 meters, then paused. Just as he was about to turn back, Rogge's arrow had already been shot.
With the help of weakness detection, it is not difficult to catch the retracement and pause of a junior warrior. The key is whether you can seize the opportunity to hit the target. Rogge, who often hunts, has excellent shooting skills, and his hit rate is very high in forests with dense trees and many obstacles. The open competition venue is even easier.
Lawson's running was not much faster than his prey, and Roger's arrow came earlier than he expected. Seeing that there was no way to dodge, he could only use his left arm to block the arrows aimed at his vitals. The arrows used by the archers in the martial arts competition are all blunt-ended. The competition ends immediately if the arrow is hit in the fatal part. The competition ends after 3 arrows are hit in the non-fatal part.
Lawson felt a pain in his left arm, and the arrow had landed. He kept on turning back and then continued to rush forward. His eyes were fixed on Rogge's movements and he did not dare to relax for a moment. Rogge took out two arrows from his quiver and put them on the string, waiting for the opportunity.
A few seconds later, Lawson made a second turnaround 15 meters away from Rogge. As soon as his speed slowed down, the arrow flew towards him. This time there were two arrows, and Rogge activated the martial arts double arrow. Due to the closer distance, the speed of the double arrows was faster than ordinary shooting. Although Lawson concentrated on defense and tried his best, he could only block the first arrow with his sword, and the second arrow hit his right leg.
Lawson paused after being hit by an arrow, then rushed forward again. Having already been hit by two arrows, he could only have a chance to take action by continuing to get closer. Lawson lowered his body and quickly took a few big steps forward, shortening the distance to 5 meters, and launched a sudden attack. The swordsman's body was agile, his thrusts were swift and powerful, and his chops were powerful. This was the most perfect thrust and slash that Lawson had used so far.
Unfortunately he wasn't fast enough. A swordsman with only basic martial arts sprinting and no other footwork bonuses is only slightly faster than the ordinary forest wolf that Rogge had fought before, and a long way behind the World of Warcraft sharp-tooth forest wolf. Now that Rogge has learned the speed movement, his speed is nearly twice as fast. There is a big gap between the two.
Rogge had already activated the sprinting technique when Lawson turned back for the second time. When Lawson rushed close and released the thrusting slash, he immediately retreated to avoid the slashing attack. Lawson's slash failed, and he was unable to adjust his body shape in a short time as he attacked with all his strength, leaving a wide gap. Rogge directly launched his martial arts close-range shooting, hitting Lawson in the left shoulder. Lawson was shot with three arrows and the contest ended.
Although Lawson tried his best, Rogge won easily. After the whole competition, he only took a few steps back, consuming more than 500 points of energy and less than 100 points of magic power to defeat a junior swordsman.
Rogge's calm performance attracted the attention of the college teachers in the stands. "This Rogge is very good. He has the strength of a junior warrior at the age of 19, and is even a junior wind magician." said the teacher from Holk Academy.
"What, are you excited? Why don't I fight with you, Roger? Orfina, don't fight with us?" suggested a teacher from Charles College in the capital of the empire.
"That's a good idea, Ofina, we're going to make a decision." The teacher from Holk College was furious.
"Just wait, the conditions we offer will definitely be much better than yours, and Ofina will definitely choose us." The teacher from Charles College was not to be outdone.
Dean Karin was listening to the two teachers bickering over each other, but she didn't dare to say that the key to snatching Ophina was to snatch Rogge. Otherwise, Rogge's subsequent competition might just be a draw, and he could just enter any college. .
After leaving another big bulge on her opponent's head, Ofina won today's competition without any suspense. The waiting time for the competition was a bit long, and the little saint was a little impatient, so she hit her head harder than yesterday.
…
On the third day of the first round of the competition, Rogge's opponent was not as strong as Lawson, and he easily won in ten seconds. However, this young man has 480 points of energy at the age of 18, and he is not slow to react and realizes what he is doing, so he has a promising future.
After the competition, Rogge went to find Ofina as usual. He felt that Ofina had been in a bad temper the past two days, and he didn't know why.
In the stands, Ofina was meditating silently with a frown on her face. Although she looked a little irritable, she was still very cute. Rogge didn't bother her, and silently planned to purchase some ingredients later and cook something delicious for Ofina to relax her mood at night.
