Chapter 46: Alicia!
Don't tell me Alicia is looking for me? Tyrion looked at the girl walking straight towards him, and in response, he could only raise his head to look at her.
Alicia was tall, standing at a height of 1.75 meters. At this age, she wasn't short among men and would stand out among women.
Although she was tall, her body proportions were excellent. Together with her slender body and constant training, she didn't seem too big in size. Her long, slender legs and exaggerated curves gave quite a strong visual impact. She had a primal charm of a feral nature.
While the two of them were in the same class, their status is way different as she seemed to have come from a prominent family.
But one thing was common, they both had asocial characters, and as Alicia was mostly always training, the two never had much interaction other than the polite greeting from time to time.
Alicia was clearly here for Tyrion. It left him perplexed, unsure why she was looking for him.
"Tyrion, I wish to invite you to join my team for the assignment." Alicia came before Tyrion and said those startling words to him.
Before entering college, passing combat tests weren't considered too important in some college as they could train them up.
But death gate academy was different, combat strength was everything to them as they ignore all other educational forms, taking anyone in as long as they don't have much of a criminal record and weren't older than 20 years of age.
With Tyrion's dumb brain, his result didn't qualify him to enter any other colleges, Death gate academy was his last hope.
Strength already played an important role in the Earth Federation's education system.
As combat tests were dangerous, not every candidate needed to participate, and the results weren't included in the overall score of the entrance examinations. It was completely voluntary to participate, but to apply for some special schools, the results of a combat test was necessary for standardization purposes.
In the past fifty years, more and more famous schools used the results of the combat test as one of the standards for student recruitment but Death Gate's standards was purely combat test.
Of course, to get a job involving dimensional zones, the results on every of his combat test had to be very good.
If Tyrion didn't involve himself in any dimensional zone work, he wouldn't have the sources or channels to obtain relics and resources. This would make it difficult for him to explain his rapid growth or his ability in the future.
By hiding in plain sight he would not garner the notice of others, just as a diamond would be lost in a sea of crystals.
Tyrion didn't wish to risk his life at the dimensional zones, but he needed to have a job involving such matters. As his growth was just too exponential.
This way, he wouldn't be suspected when his strength suddenly surges in the future.
Just like this combat assignment. The combat assignment wasn't a solo affair. Instead, it was carried out in a team of four. Apart from one's individual combat prowess, teamwork, leadership, and other traits influenced the final results.
If one were to be the final man standing in the combat test, with the other teammates dropping out ahead of time or an accident happening, one's score would be greatly affected, even if the individual did very well to receive high individual scores.
Tyrion had a bad reputation within the academy.
It was still understandable If an ordinary student were to team up with him, but for Alicia who had a chance of coming first in combat assignment test, there wasn't a good reason for her to recruit him.
"Why are you recruiting me?" Tyrion asked Alicia with piqued interest.
Alicia and Tyrion locked gazes. Her eyes were clear and untainted like crystal lake.
"I want to do my best to get a high score on the combat test, so I need a strong teammate. And you have that strength," Alicia said calmly.
"Are you sure you are referring to me?"
Alicia's glimmering eyes stared at Tyrion intently as she said firmly, "From what I see, your title as The legend is well deserved. I'm not blind like the others."
"Perhaps I was just overthinking it." Alicia didn't continue on the topic as she looked at Tyrion and asked, "So, what's your answer?"
"Since you are willing to team up with me, I naturally don't mind cozying up to someone powerful," Tyrion said with a shrug.
"Then it's a deal. I've already found the other two teammates. Starting today, the four of us will train together in the Quantum Room at 2 in the afternoon. We need to ensure that we have the necessary teamwork and coordination during the combat test." Alicia looked at her wristwatch and turned to say to Tyrion, "Come on. It's about 2pm now."
When Jason and Vander watched Alicia return with Tyrion, they were quite surprised. They knew that she had gone to find their fourth teammate, but weren't aware of who she had in mind.
Now, upon realizing that it was Tyrion, they felt puzzled. They all knew of Tyrion's antics since the recruitment session, up to this point.
Genetic talent was an ever important matter. If one had low talent, no matter the amount of hardworking, their prospects would still be limited.
Tyrion had been one with the least talent since the beginning of the recruitment session up to the admission session. Only with the B-grade serum was he able to score a score higher than the and become the Prime.
Wouldn't he drag them down during combat within the Ancient Undead alternate zone?
