Chapter 67
Tear's eyes flashed coldly . She kept her gaze fixed on me for a few seconds before moving her gaze away .
"Very well, if nobody has a question, then follow me . " Tear then turned around and left the classroom .
The students looked at each other confused before following after her . I also followed after them, with Daisy beside me .
Tear took us to the sports ground . It was an open field filled with green grass and surrounded by grandstands where the students could spectate the people in the field .
Actually, although I called it sports ground, it was more like a small dueling arena . There were other sports in the empire besides magic and sword duels, but very few people were interested in them .
When we reached the sports field, Tear observed each student carefully and nodded .
"Today I'll evaluate your combat ability . I know that many of you received combat training in your homes, but I need to evaluate how well you will fare in real combat . Now, I'll call two names and the students I called will fight against each other . Carlos, Melody . "
Two students hesitated slightly before taking a step forward . Tear then brought them to the middle of the field while the other students sat on the grandstands .
The combat was a bit boring, after all, both of them were at the beginner third layer . Tear stood near them to make sure that they were not injured and once the winner was decided, she stopped the fight .
After that, she called another pair . After a while, I realized that she was pairing the students according to their cultivation, beginning from the weaker ones .
It did not take long for Daisy to be called . She was paired with a commoner girl that also had third layer strength . The fight was pretty long, with Daisy getting a narrow victory after almost ten minutes .
I had been guiding Daisy on her cultivation lately, but I taught her little about real combat . I was planning to wait until she advances to the fifth layer before putting her through real combat .
Finally, when most of the class had been called, it was my turn .
However, the identity of the person I was fighting made me smile wryly .
"Claus and Rose, it's your turn . "
I forced myself to not show a bitter smile .
There are few fourth-layer students in our class, but Rose and I were not the only ones . However, Tear just paired us two against each other .
Normally, you would think of it as a coincidence, however, I knew better .
In fact, I was pretty sure that it was the world trying to create a conflict between us .
I grabbed a wooden training sword and stood before Rose . Coincidentally, Rose was also wielding a wooden sword . She stared at me and for a moment, an angry light flashed through her eyes .
I wrinkled my brows . It looks like things are bad . This girl is already showing animosity to me . If I did not know she was a hero, this fight probably would have become in the spark that starts our conflict .
But now that I know her identity, things are different .
I nodded towards Rose and smiled politely . "Nice to meet you . I'm Claus Quintin . "
Rose frowned, but she probably thought it was impolite to not reply, so she introduced herself too .
"I'm Rose, only Rose . "
"I know . I heard about you before . I must admit that I'm impressed that a commoner girl like you was able to advance to the fourth layer without the support of anyone . "
"… I worked hard . " She said .
