Chapter: 64
The second test was a battle between group formations. They had to compete with each other through the twelve formations that they had trained. It required each individual’s cooperation and the leader’s accurate decisions.
“I have taught you enough. It’s all up to you now. Is that clear?!”
“Mado!”
Each instructor gave their final words to their respective groups. Beginning a few days ago, each group was led by their group leaders to practice the formations. Instructors were not that involved in the latter part of the training.
“Before we go onto the next test, we will choose who to fight through the lottery.”
Left Guardian Lee Hameng spoke on the stage.
“As I explained earlier, First to fourth, fifth to eighth, ninth to twentieth... four groups will pick from the lottery to choose which group to compete against.”
He explained how the test was going to progress three days ago already. As the leaders got up onto the stage, students began to mumble to themselves.
“The leaders of the second and third group changed!”
“They changed too!”
The second and third groups had changed leaders. Other than Chun Muyeon from the Wise Clan in the first group, and the 72nd cadet in the fourth group, the second and third groups had different group leaders.
“Hmph. Two only?”
Hameng, however, didn’t look surprised. Soon, the battle was decided between the four groups.
[First versus third. Second versus fourth.]
“Whoaaaaa!”
The first and fourth group shouted excitedly. As it had been decided, Hameng shouted, “Next! Leaders from the fifth to eighth group, please come up!”
The leaders of each group quickly came up onto the stage. People mumbled as the two groups had also exchanged leaders. The eighth group also had a different leader.
‘Oh?’
Hameng looked intrigued. He thought the leader of the 8th group wouldn’t have changed since it was Prince Chun Mukeum, but it had changed to an unexpected individual.
‘Chun Yeowun!’
It was the black tag #7, Chun Yeowun. And the leader of the fifth group, Chun Wonryou of the Lust Clan was also shocked by this change.
‘I warned him so much! Fool!’
She cursed at Mukeum. On the other hand, Yeowun couldn’t believe what had happened. He didn’t think he would be chosen as the leader just up until last night.
Last night, near the end of afternoon training, many groups left to practice for the upcoming test. Some groups did not do it since they were concerned that the other groups would peek at their tactics, and the 8th group was one of such groups. Chun Mukeum, who did not lack in potential as the group leader, already decided on the tactics and dismissed his group early.
“Chun Mukeum!”
And when Mukeum was going to train his martial arts in a remote area, someone called him.
“Oh, it’s you.”
It was Chun Wonryou from the Lust Clan. Mukeum tried to walk past her, but Wonryoy quickly hustled over, blocking his way.
“What are you doing?”
“I called you. Can you at least stop to ask why?”
