===========
Some people there can't accept it, while others face it coldly:
"But if you are strong enough, you can catch the flying heavy balls or outrun others."
"That's right!!"
The candidates in the Shot Put, on the other hand, all had cruel smiles on their faces.
"To put it bluntly, if you really can't pass, it only means that you are not capable enough; you can't blame others!!"
As the representative of the Shot Put players, Todo pressed the knuckles of his hands, making a crisp sound:
"So, instead of complaining about the rules, you should think about whether to continue the exam or give up early."
"If you quit early, you might not get hit by the heavy ball!!"
His words immediately aroused dissatisfaction from the Track and Field players: "Who's complaining?!"
"That's right! Do you think you guys are so great?!"
"Just a bunch of idiots with nothing but stupid strength!!"
The Exam hadn't even started yet, but the two groups were already arguing.
"Differentiation?"
Lan opened his eyes slightly when he heard the noise. "Through this rule, the Track and Field players and the Shot Put players are on opposite sides."
"Based on the rules, the Shot Put players clearly have the advantage. At least they don't have to risk being hit by the heavy ball."
"Then the Track and Field players will naturally feel unfair, and it will be easy to provoke disputes."
"Also, according to the rules, the Track and Field players are not known for their strength. Rather than catching the heavy balls, they are more concerned about how to outrun others in the same group."
"As for the Shot Put players, they need to weigh and consider the two aspects of hitting people and throwing far. They need to make the right choice based on their own abilities."
"This examiner is quite good."
Although he didn't get to see what kind of guy this Principal behind the loudspeaker is, he should be a pretty powerful professional hunter.
But.
Lan closed his eyes again.
What does that have to do with him?
Anyway, he passed the first round of exams, so the rest of the competition had nothing to do with him.
The final competition of this first round of exams will be over soon.
It is better to adjust his state and prepare for the second round of exams in advance.
Just as Lan had thought, this round of exams did not take long.
After the members of both sports teams have taken their positions.
This unique competition has begun.
The candidates in the Track and Field group ran towards the other side with all their might while also keeping an eye on the heavy balls that fell from the sky.
The players in the Shot Put were so strong that they didn't care whether they hit anyone or not. They just threw their shots in the farthest direction.
The remaining candidates who realize they can't make it into the top 20 look at the oncoming Track and Field players with cruel and ruthless eyes.
They are looking for candidates they think can be hit.
Then.
Whoosh!
The heavy balls left their hand and fell towards the candidates one by one.
Boom!!
The sound of the falling object and the noise of the object hitting the examinee.
"Ah!!"
It rang out together with the wailing of the candidates.
There were even more candidates who were hit and fell to the ground without making a sound.
They seemed to be playing an elegy to hell on this sports field.
The Track and Field players gritted their teeth and rushed to the other side with all their strength.
But the first round of heavy balls was not the end.
In order to ensure the accuracy of the shot at close range, some candidates in the Shot Put waited for the opponent to get close before taking their shot.
The Track and Field candidates running in the front are among the fastest ones.
The remaining players of the Shot Put who had not thrown their ball naturally let them go and turned their attention to the lagging guys who were coming from behind and were running out of energy.
However, those guys are not fools.
After seeing that there was no hope for them to pass the level, they immediately ran out of the venue.
They will definitely not become a sitting duck for those guys on the other side.
They throws and the other dodges; they runs and others aims; they can't escape even if they have wings…
In short, after a lot of farce, the first round of Exams officially came to an end.
"Sixty-four people passed the two sports in total?"
The Principal behind the loudspeaker clearly saw the number of people who passed the Exam: "Including the number of people who passed the exam in other sports, the total number of people who passed the first round of the Exam is 126."
"Well, it's not as bad as I expected. More than half of the members were eliminated."
The Principal was very satisfied with the results of the sports meet he organized.
It is not just more than half; it is more than two-thirds!!
The candidates who passed the Exam with great difficulty kept complaining in their hearts.
"Okay, that's it for the first round of Exam. The second round of Exams will be held at the entrance to the back mountain behind the school. There will be examiners waiting for you there."
"That's it. If there's a chance in the future, we'll see each other again... snap."
As soon as the Principal words fell, the sound from the loudspeaker was instantly cut off, as if he didn't want to stay even for a second longer.
A group of candidates who were still in the venue were left speechless and looking at each other.
No, it can't be said to be speechless.
It turned out that the candidates from the Track and Field group were staring at the candidates from the Shot Put.
They can't just pretend that nothing happened when that wave of heavy balls rained down at them.
The latter was also fearless and glared back.
A fight might break out on the spot in the next second.
In this tense atmosphere.
"Oh, I forgot to mention that."
At this moment, the Principal's voice suddenly came out from the loudspeaker again.
"All candidates who fail to arrive before dark will be considered eliminated."
"And candidates who have been eliminated should not stay here. Otherwise, it will be regarded as hindering the normal progress of the exam and will be disqualified from participating in the Hunter Exam in the future."
"Hurry up and get going, candidates, click."
