The screen provided to the backend is like being cut off from sound. {What You don't know yet|Read, error-free chapter reading|Quickly Google it!}

The entire assessment area fell into a deathly silence.

Immediately, a wave of shocked, excited, almost frenzied cheers erupted, reverberating through the walls and echoing throughout the entire testing area building. Even Gloria watching outside the screen felt a shiver run down her spine.

Gloria now fully believes the new saint is a natural born performer.

Despite the fact that Dominick hasn't publicly declared himself as her son, he is known to many as her "Dominion Child".

But if a man who has already been recognized as the Son of Heaven in Protoss Royal Magic Academy announces himself so ostentatiously, raising everyone's expectations, and then suffers a humiliating defeat at a crucial moment, even being split in half, it would undoubtedly bring shame upon their Heavenly Branch.

With a bounty of 130,000 credits at stake, even Gloria in the assessment area would feel a shiver down her spine.

It is enough to mutate all the students.

And anyone the Holy Son encounters within the barrier will become his enemy, willing to do anything to harm him.

Next, besides classrooms with strong teacher-led rules, ordinary rules may not be as effective!

Many students might be tempted to break the rules in order to claim the reward.

Because breaking the rules at most will only result in teacher punishment or a deduction of hundreds of academic credits.

Compared to 130,000 credits, the price is nothing at all.

It's worth the risk for them, to break the rules without honor in a crucial moment to hunt down Zestilara.

But there's also a customary mechanism in the bounty system —

For every other student a bounty hunter causes to be eliminated, the total bounty will increase by 1%.

Regardless of whether other students have malicious intent, once a bounty hunter directly or indirectly causes other students within the range to be seriously injured and unable to continue the assessment, the seriously injured student will be sealed by the barrier and their life state will be suspended. Then they will be retrieved by the teacher, and their bounty amount will also begin to increase.

Although students signed detailed safety risk disclaimers upon enrollment, the school does not want any fatalities to occur during these academic assessment days.

Under normal circumstances, a formidable bounty hunter gains a few points for each enemy they defeat.

The Overlord Son is now worth thousands more after defeating each opponent due to his already incredibly high base value!

Even if the Hegemon's Son could handle a few, even dozens of students along the way, this long twelve-hour period would be a hopeless tug-of-war. He would face increasingly more and stronger enemies!

"His desire to win isn't particularly strong, and I don't expect him to achieve much under this school's rules. Regardless of how he does it, if he can keep his employer, Zestira, safe until the evaluation ends, that already surpasses my expectations."

Siegfried remained unmoved, her stance on her son's position was clear.

After all, it's an away game, so there are many limitations.

"...."

Gloria became self-aware and stopped offering her opinions, instead silently observing.

As a direct soldier, she should not question the bishop's choice of the Holy Child.

However, she still felt that the Celestial Church was too subjective and favored this holy son.

She didn't think for a moment that the mere Sky-Shattering Son at level four could possibly complete a twelve-hour breakthrough and last until the assessment ended.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side, in the southern testing grounds of Protoss Royal Magic Academy.

There are still ten minutes until the assessment officially begins.

A one-story corridor in a deep black building, with magic plant flower patterns on the carpet that constantly shift, swallowing footsteps and giving the hallway an unfathomable sense of mystery.

Every few steps, the portraits on the wall and the mirrors alternate, their eyes seeming to follow the passing students as they move, silently witnessing everything in this ancient academy.

After the previous preparation time of observation, Lance seems to have a good grasp of the surrounding building structure. They are now almost reaching their target classroom.

The dim light cast the two figures' shadows on the cold, hard marble wall. Their shadows stretched and contracted as they moved. Finally, Lance's steps slowed, coming to a halt before a door.

The distant corridor behind the two of them had already been followed by several ghostly shadows.

Now all students are under a barrier's suppression, unable to enter a combat state. This restraint will only be lifted after nine o'clock.

For those who have their eyes set on Zestilla, approaching recklessly is not a good decision.

It's best to let others try it out first.

"Teacher."

Zethira said nothing, only calling out softly.

She had been harboring unease in her heart for a long time.

For her, who is at a second-order level now, the current high pressure is simply too heavy.

Only teachers can be trusted.

"Don't worry, I'm starting to get back that feeling from the old days."

Lanche smiled faintly and said with certainty.

Upon hearing this, Zethira felt a little reassured.

The cat boss in the shadows seemed to have a racing heart.

Although he himself had never seen Ranch display his talents at school.

But whenever Hugh Bao chatted with Tata, he would always say that once Lance broke free from his moral constraints, he would do some crazy, meritorious deeds, and even he felt the Goddess wanted to praise him.

Zethira looked at the door before them.

From the classroom door sign, you can't tell the specific exam content. After observing along the way, you can only guess which major it belongs to.

"This must be Warcraft Taming, Professor. Do you know anything about it"

Zestilla asked with a hint of worry.

A very niche category.

Although the beasts in cities today are domesticated, their origins in the demon realm still lead to considerable prejudice from Protoans.

Moreover, it is quite dangerous.

"We demons are born with this advantage, no problem."

Lanche's voice was very confident.

"Okay."

Zethera felt that Ranch, after arriving in this assessment area, unconsciously changed even her self-positioning.

Zestila, would you mind giving me a hand with the wind

Before entering the classroom, Lan Chi stepped forward and into the doorway, as if he had planned it. With a decisive movement, he picked up a scalpel and a brush from the portable card-making tool kit.

Zestilla nodded, shifting slightly to stand beside him, gazing towards the far end of the corridor.

And Lance quickly altered the symbols on the house plaque.

“Okay.”

Lan Qi's words fell, and he pushed open the door and walked straight in.

Although it was hastily made, his high-level skills were so proficient that it's actually a bit outrageous. At first glance, you wouldn't be able to tell anything was wrong.

Zesira watched as Lanche dashed into the classroom before following suit, her gaze fixed ahead.

Only to see the sign on the door changed from 【Beast Breeding Department - Difficulty Three】to 【Culinary Arts Department - Difficulty One】.

Zethira: ""
