The Last Dark King

Latest website: The next day, Rhodes stepped into the Heidler training ground on time.

This is a very large training ground located in the northernmost part of Jinworth College with complete facilities.

All combat lessons for the students are completed here.

Combat class is a very important part of their studies, but it is not available to first-year freshmen. Rhodes only came once because of his status as a special student.

To the east of the training ground is a huge castle-like building that has been designated as the base of the secret branch.

The college guards, who rarely show up in normal times, are all guarding the base at this time, and the security is very tight.

Rhodes showed his special student badge, and a guard led him inside.

The interior of the castle is large and bright.

As soon as Rhodes came in, he saw Teacher Miller. She nodded slightly to him: "Let's get to know our companions."

Rhodes turned his head. In the vast hall, he saw so many students wearing strange clothes for the first time.

Most of them are between the ages of eighteen and twenty-two, very young, full of vitality, high morale and the belief that they will not give in to anything.

They gathered together in twos and threes, chatting enthusiastically, their bright eyes full of anticipation for the upcoming trials and battles.

Rhodes hadn't seen many other special students, but he quickly found a group of old acquaintances here.

The Raistlin trio.

They had been discharged from the hospital and were chatting in the corner.

Rhodes greeted them in surprise: "Hi! Raistlin, you are here too!"

They turned their heads, and when they saw Rhodes, they immediately burst out with expressions of surprise, and ran over together. Caramon shouted: "Rhode! I said I would meet you here!"

Rhodes glanced at his body: "Is your waist full?"

Iger curled his lips and said: "I have grown up early, and my functions are even stronger than before. I am looking for a girlfriend every day."

Caramon said angrily: "What do you mean? I was beaten to pieces, not to save you! If it weren't for my strong healing ability and my strong strength that kept the spirit from dissipating, you wouldn't have seen me a long time ago!"

Rhodes smiled and said: "Don't be angry. I have avenged you. The black priest was shot to death by me."

"What?"

The three of them exclaimed together, their eyes widening.

Rhodes briefly explained the process of the incident. In order to keep a low profile, he attributed the main credit for killing the black priest to the phantom of the chief dean.

After hearing this, the three people had different expressions. Raistlin's expression was that of a good kill and he was very happy. Egger's expression was that of a great revenge, with a huge stone falling from his heart. Caramon was relieved, but also seemed to be a little reluctant to let go.

Rhodes was considerate and did not mention the Black Priest's habits, so as not to hit Caramon's young mind again.

Raistlin smiled and patted his shoulder: "It seems that you are very valued. Your Excellency, the Chief Dean, has given you all his soul creations. If I carry out missions with you in the future, I can only give you the position of leader." ”

Rhodes smiled and asked, "Are you also members of the secret branch?"

"That's right." Egger shook his finger at Rhodes' belly and said with a little pride: "Although we are not special students, the secret branch has also recruited some practitioners with outstanding achievements, rich experience, and great potential. Our three-person team is also considered to be the number one among the students staying on campus."

"And I have some good news for you."

Caramon came closer and whispered: "Due to our persistent reporting, the bastard has been temporarily suspended, and the Internal Affairs Bureau is reviewing him."

Rhodes knew that the "bastard" he was talking about was Iron Mask Manolo Bana.

It turned out that he was really suspended, and Rhodes thought they were just talking that day.

Egger said excitedly: "Yes, an adjudicator has contacted us. They are collecting evidence of his crimes. They suspect that he is a traitor who has been infiltrated by doomsday cultists into our interior. They have been secretly investigating for a long time. I will tell you how many of us There may be such a disgusting person, he is a doomsday cultist!"

"I've told them everything we know, and that slug is dead!"

Raistlin's burly face was also full of smiles: "Brother Rhodes, on the day of trial, we will all appear in court together to testify!"

Rhodes nodded, and suddenly, it felt like it was dawn.

"Then it's settled."

Egg raised his hand and shook it with Raistlin Caramon.

The three of them turned their heads together, and Rhodes immediately understood and reached out his hand.

The four fists were clenched together, and Rhodes felt an inexplicable power.

"Drink! We will win! Defeat the doomsday cult! Fire will surely light up the world!"

Rhodes shouted out along with them, and the shouts in unison attracted many eyes nearby, but they didn't care and looked at each other, surging passion reverberating among them.

At this time, there was a sound not far away, someone calling their names.

Raistlin smiled and said: "Brother Rhodes, let's go there first. I hope we can have the opportunity to perform missions together again."

Rhodes nodded, and the three of them turned around.

Rhodes was in a very happy mood. This was the best news he had ever heard.

If Iron Mask is completely finished, then he will no longer be a threat. If he kills all the doomsday cultists, he can sit back and relax.

He turned his eyes and soon found more people he knew in the crowd.

Red armband, Shore the Bard.

Hines, Annabeth, Beauwood, Annavista, and Red Bee all received the award together.

There is also Frank from Mushroom City whom we met once, Marin the "Golden King" who is still eating like crazy, and Yushan the "Sufferer" who looks sick.

There were more acquaintances than expected, and Rhodes went over to greet them one by one.

Most of them were surprised that Rhodes would appear here, and they seemed to have no special understanding of his deeds.

This also made Rhodes feel a little relieved. He really didn't want his sewer name to be spread everywhere.

Afterwards, Rhodes met a very unexpected person.

"Uh, sister Mina, you are here too."

Mina was wearing the white clothes of a logistics worker and looked at him with a look of resentment: "Little Rod, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. You broke the appointment even though you had clearly agreed to do it. I misjudged you."

Rhodes was a little embarrassed: "You can't blame me. Teacher Miller dragged me away directly. I couldn't help it."

Mina sighed softly.

"Forget it, just don't embarrass me in the test later. My invitation is still valid. It doesn't matter if you want to continue to stay in the academy. If you have time, just chat with the teacher about academic theories."

Rhodes smiled and said: "Of course that's no problem. I will explain it to the teacher. Sister Mina's feet are so smooth that you can't put them down."

"Okay, okay, you go over and hand in your report first." Mina drove Rhodes over with disgust.

Mina's Joy +21

Humanity +2

Oh, women are indeed duplicitous.

Rhodes was very satisfied. Humanity was accumulated bit by bit like this.

It's just a matter of words, why not do it?

There were many people around on the other side of the hall. Rhodes met another acquaintance here - old blind Moore, the teacher of the monster class. He and another instructor were collecting data reports from students and verifying their authenticity.

Teacher Moore's lessons were very few, but every lesson left a deep impression on him. Most of Rhode's current understanding of black mist and monsters came from him.

Rhodes handed over the report, and Moore took it with his prosthetic hand, glanced with his prosthetic eyes, and then raised his head, with a scary smile on his wrinkled face: "It's Rhodes, I knew it. I’ll meet you here.”

Rhodes said politely: "Hello, Teacher Moore."

Moore slapped his prosthetic nose: "How am I good? I'm not good at all. If I can't see those guys from Kalil throw their arrogant butts to the ground, I will never get better."

Rhodes didn't know how to answer the question and could only smile awkwardly.

At this time, a large group of people walked in outside the hall.

One of the two leaders, Rhodes, knew him. He was Vera, the dean of the First Branch.

The other was wearing a rare black robe, with a sickly pale face and a strange mark on his chest——

A huge black snake coiled in front of a shining sword, with burning flames at the top.

About half the crowd behind him had such a sign.

The other half are teachers at the college.

Rhodes had a slight idea in his mind that this was probably the person sent by the "Inhuman Voice of Khalil", and the giant snake sword was their symbol.

They walked to the center of the hall, and Vera clapped her hands gently. The sound was not loud, but it spread throughout the hall.

“Good day, fellow students and teachers, I’m glad that we can meet here. This is another step we bravely take into the unknown field. It marks that our teaching and training methods are richer and more precise, and we have fully exerted our talents. The potential of every student..."

Rhodes knew that there must be higher-level people present at the scene.

He looked around and quickly found several different people in the crowd.

Their eyes were full of admiration, they nodded slightly, and sometimes whispered to each other.

After Vera finished speaking, they applauded politely and left unobtrusively.

Then, Vera's speech changed instantly.

"Students, you should know our mission and tasks. I will only say one sentence, and I hope you can remember it."

"Survive and don't sacrifice lightly. Dead seeds will no longer take root and germinate. Only those that remain can bloom."

"I've finished my words. Let's ask Mr. Khalil to speak for everyone."

Amidst the warm applause, the man in black robe took a step forward.

A cold smile appeared on his pale face, and his sharp and slightly hoarse voice instantly spread throughout the hall.

"Fellow students, I am contemporary Khalil. Being able to see me here proves that you are all the best, most mature, and most adaptable to cruel battles. The mild environment of the academy is not suitable for the growth of brave men like you. You are eager to fight. , eager to kill, eager to achieve explosive growth between life and death, abandon those boring studies, boring and useless knowledge, long and unproductive meditation, I will bring you an unparalleled experience, you will fall in love with this unscrupulous feeling.”

The hall was silent, everyone was stunned by his words.

Kalil didn't care and continued: "Next, we will conduct a combat test so that I can understand your actual combat capabilities. After that, we will conduct professional and efficient combat training. Note, I will not wait for you. After training, go out to perform the mission. The monsters wandering in the black fog will not cooperate with us. The secret branch of Jinworth has been included in the official battle order. When the General Army War Department assigns the mission, I will immediately choose one of you. Part of the departure.”

He showed that smile filled with ice water again.

"Please be mentally prepared. You are no longer the flowers and plants in the greenhouse, but the solid wall protecting them."

Vera took the lead in applauding, and the warm applause soon flooded the hall.

Someone in the crowd shouted: "Fight for the Firekeeper! We will win! Trorian will live forever!"

The neat voice suddenly resounded through the hall.

"We will win! Trorian lives forever!"

Vera's face turned pale, and Kalil's smile became even bigger.

——

Afterwards, many teachers and support staff became busy. With a loud rumbling sound, the rooms around the hall sank downwards, turning the place into an extremely wide circular arena.

The rest and logistics rooms have been moved underground, and people can walk straight along the entrance. The design is very exquisite.

The students are divided into many groups, and they need to demonstrate their abilities, combat skills, destructive power, response to sudden attacks, and adaptability to team operations in front of teachers and instructors.

Teachers and instructors will give a combat rating score based on all situations to determine the specific range of their actual combat capabilities.

Rhodes took a glance and saw that there were about 300 students on site, with special students accounting for less than half.

As a pilot for an initiative, this is more reasonable.
