My anime-style card deck is fine!

There's not much to say about the opening ceremony.

It's nothing more than some song and dance performances, and some speeches by leaders.

Even in today's world of card masters, some leaders still like to make their presence felt, talking on and on for hours on end, and other leaders, not wanting to be outdone, can only do the same.

The result was that the opening ceremony was both tedious and long.

Around noon, after the opening ceremony was announced to be over, all the contestants' faces only flashed briefly on the scrolling screen on the stage, and then there was nothing more for the contestants to do.

The reason Amon was there to watch the opening ceremony was because...

Besides being a mandatory requirement, the song and dance performances were also genuinely good.

It's not just about the synergy between people and cards, but also about summoning minions as backup dancers—as a technology that imprints fantasy into reality, it is these artists who truly bring splendor to its fullest potential!

Although the duel wasn't particularly powerful, that wasn't what they were after!

It pushed the limits of imagination.

No longer confined by the limitations of physics and the human body, these artists have achieved a truly perfect balance between fantasy and reality—this is the spirit of the new era.

A tendency toward fantasy leads to abstraction.

A focus on reality leads to simplicity.

In this era, even idols like girl groups have a unique skill that can be described as unparalleled!

(In fact, it was only through slow-motion dance videos on Douyin that the author was able to truly appreciate the beauty and elegance of dance—it's not that the author simply enjoys watching young women dance.)

After the song and dance performance, the final college entrance examination officially began!

To prevent cheating, each year the final college entrance examination requires seven schools to each prepare a theme, and then a senior official from the Ministry of Education personally selects three of them.

Here are this year's exam questions!

As the song and dance performance ended, the once lively and celebratory venue suddenly fell silent.

The entire audience and contestants watched the stage intently.

A slightly overweight leader with a憨厚 (honest and simple) smile on his face waved and walked to the center of the stage. He then summoned a gold-level follower to inspect the small box in the center of the stage.

After confirming that there were no hidden mechanisms or underhanded dealings.

He shook the simple little wooden box, which was only embroidered with red cloth.

It only took a short while.

The three small balls fell into a glass bowl on the table.

Immediately, a host went on stage, held up the first dropped ball high, and shouted, "The questions for the first round have been decided!"

"The theme is—[Battlefield]!"

"No need for further explanation, now please let the senior leader make the announcement." The host put down the ball and handed the microphone to the senior leader next to him.

This isn't the first time the top leader has held a final college entrance exam.

She took the microphone quite naturally and said softly, "I hereby announce that this year's final college entrance examination—"

"Officially begin!"

As the leader finished speaking, the long-suppressed cheers burst forth from the roof and resounded throughout the entire arena!

Without looking back at the stage, Amon got up and started moving around.

His eyes gleamed with barely concealed excitement.

The annual college entrance examination, the ultimate test of the year, brings together all the graduating students today. The strongest and most outstanding students among the 1.4 billion people in the country are gathered here today.

But Amon's mind was already too busy to think of anything else.

All the words in the world can be summed up in one sentence:

The competition has begun!

There was no pre-match trash talk, no subtle competition between the participants, and of course, no pretty girls trying to chat them up.

That's right.

Because Amon paid for a single room.

For Amon, who possesses memories of his past life, the idea of ​​hating useless social correction is ingrained in his DNA—mainly because I, the author, am too lazy to write any fluff like shocking stories or school beauties.

all in all!

As the senior leader finished speaking.

As if receiving some kind of signal, he had been huddled in a corner and remained motionless after bringing Amon in.

The slime derivative, which looked like a decorative item, suddenly started to move.

After attracting Amon's attention.

The slime jumped with all its might, then hovered in the air, eventually transforming into a portal of light leading to the examination hall.

The examination hall entrance is now open.

[Please be prepared, Amon. The entrance will close in five minutes. If you fail to enter the arena within the allotted time, you will automatically forfeit this round of the exam.]

This round of exams will not affect the candidates' entrance exam scores. Candidates should decide whether to participate in this round of assessment based on their own card deck situation.

[A correct judgment of oneself is an essential quality that every card trader should possess.]

Yes, the ultimate college entrance exam is not a game of passing levels.

It is a comprehensive assessment of a student's qualities. The content of the assessment is actually irrelevant. The real key is the qualities that the student demonstrates during the assessment!

This is actually a joint judgment and scoring process involving four parties: the national audience, high-ranking attendants, proctors, and the education bureau's supervisory team.

This round failed?

苟？

Send it as soon as you appear?

It doesn't matter, this round of exam questions wasn't suitable for me, or rather, I was just too unlucky.

But we can still keep up the good work in the next round!

The purpose of the three rounds of examinations is to select the best candidates as much as possible, minimize unfavorable factors such as luck, and thus select the best group of students.

“I’ve been ready for a long time.” Amon looked at the host on the stage, who was holding up a white ball.

And then there was the assessment theme lit up on the big screen behind them. They couldn't help but laugh and say, "We actually encountered this theme. Maybe it's true that the ball in this theme was deliberately made heavier, as people on the forum have been complaining about it."

After all, it's truly rare for an assessment to not have a [battlefield] theme in previous years.

Amon, of course, had made preparations well in advance.

A brand new deck designed specifically for the battlefield!

I checked the deck one last time.

Although he had prepared it last night and checked it once before coming this morning, Amon still checked it again without getting tired of it.

The same applies to candidates from other places.

Some card effects are truly unpredictable. There have been news reports of people using card effects before a match to replace other players' main cards with useless cards.

If the Duel Disk is a card player's underwear, then the deck is their soul!

After that news broke, although the relevant personnel were punished, those who were affected did not receive any subsequent remedial measures, but were directly dealt with as having committed a negative offense.

To paraphrase a certain industry expert:

"A card player who doesn't even realize that their own deck has been tampered with is nothing but trash!"

"It's already a miracle they didn't revoke his card master qualification!"

Finally, all card players developed the habit of going through their decks before any formal duel, and Amon was no exception.

Confirmation complete, preparations complete.

Amon took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his excitement.

He stood still, took a few deep breaths, and waited until he calmed down before striding into the examination room with a forced smile on his face.

Chapter Twenty: The Battlefield! Exam Rules!

【battlefield】!

Although both are super-large dueling arenas are constructed from a mixture of multiple mental energy fields.

However, compared to a simple free-for-all arena composed of multiple people, a war arena is far more complex.

How exactly should a real battlefield environment be constructed?

This is a crucial defense technology involving state secrets, and the accumulation of this technology can even be seen as part of a nation's cultural heritage.

It is on par with tanks and artillery in the previous life.

Compared to chaotic multiplayer duel arenas, not to mention some high-level battlefield duel arenas, even low-level war-oriented duel arenas have the powerful ability to give our side a strong boost or to restrict or curse the enemy!

It can be said that the battlefield-type duel arena is the front line in the battle between humans and fantasy monsters.

It is also the first line of defense for protecting and protecting the city!

Although the war between humans and fantasy monsters has gradually eased since China developed the [Special Battlefield Red], which can nullify all magic, rituals, and follower effects.

However, it would be a waste to leave these battlefields and dueling arenas idle.

Therefore, except for a few battlefields, the other battlefields were made available for lending out for various dueling events.

The first thing to borrow a battlefield from the state was the ultimate college entrance examination!

"This is really extravagant. Is this a card space that big?" The essence of the examination room space is similar to the hotel suite space where Amon was just staying. Both have the card effect of being able to open up another space.

However, compared to the battlefield in front of Amon, that hotel suite card was nothing.

Amon walked into the arena, looked around at the surroundings, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed: "I actually landed in the Gobi Desert? It's a huge map, and there's not even a person around."

Amon had originally intended to start fighting as soon as he entered.

Although he didn't know where he was, it didn't stop him from wreaking havoc!

—That's what Amon originally thought.
