Chapter 97: Joining the Team Test

  In the midst of the noise, Odette quietly looked at Midi not far away, but her mind was shaken again.

  She had long known Mide's identity, so she wouldn't be surprised. However, having been used to his unimpressive appearance, now looking at the black-haired youth in front of her who was as steady as a sword and yet full of strong momentum, she couldn't help but feel a sense of unfamiliarity and distance again.

  It's not because of the change in appearance, but because of the change in temperament. The current Midei no longer needs to restrain his aura, and what he shows now is the kind of prestige that only a superior and commander can have.

  And Odell? He's just the leader of a small mercenary band, an adventurer from commoner origins.

  She couldn't help but ask herself if she could really keep up with the back of that invincible ghost swordsman.

  And when she saw Midie's gaze at the red-haired girl, as well as the black-haired girl's seemingly cold yet naturally intimate movements, and the completely unguarded distance between them, Odelle's heart was filled with acid.

  The half-elf didn't know the identity of the Fog Witch, but just by looking at Alice's waterfall-like black hair, skin as white as jade, and clear eyes, she could sense the powerful magical fluctuations emanating from the black-haired girl, and knew that she was absolutely a formidable powerhouse.

  As for the other one, it's even more unnecessary to mention.

  Fina Hamilton

  Not to mention how powerful the Hamilton family is, who in the Kingdom of Bellmare doesn't know about the title "Queen of Magic Bullets"?

  Directly using the magic bullet to destroy a castle that had been operated by the Earl's family for hundreds of years, crushing the morale of the three thousand defending soldiers, and taking it down in one day without harming anyone, establishing the superiority of the Asrecks family and completely turning the situation around. Such a feat was something Odell didn't even dare to think about.

  It can even be said that nowadays, when people mention the "Queen", whether they are nobles or commoners, soldiers or adventurers, the first person who comes to mind is definitely the Bullet Queen Fina, rather than the nominal ruler of the Principality, Scathi, who hides in the depths of the palace and never shows her face.

  Yes, a woman like this, just like a female warrior god, is the most suitable for Medea Sylthes.

  Odelle comforted herself like this, but what seeped into her heart was still a bitter taste.

  Actually, everyone had already made some guesses about this. After all, during the time of the noble war, it was well-known that Miti and Fina fought together. And now, a genius like Miti claims to be the vice-captain of the Hawk's Team, so who else is qualified to be the captain besides Fina?

  But when speculation became reality, Odelle found that her mental preparation was still insufficient, or rather, she still had a mind of luck.

  Fina nodded in satisfaction as she looked at Midy, who had regained her composure, and finally shifted her gaze to the others.

  "Are you the adventurers from the Morning Star Mercenaries and the Mountain Wolf Mercenaries?" The red-haired girl said in a gentle tone, her attitude elegant yet dignified. "I've already learned about the general situation from Middy, and I'm very grateful for your help to my deputy captain during your adventure. In the name of Filina Hamilton, Captain of the Falcon Team, I welcome you all to join us!"

  The surroundings were suddenly another commotion, this commotion was much louder than when Fina and Aries arrived, and even louder than when Middy recovered her appearance, because this time, it involved their own interests.

  What are these adventurers fighting for with their lives on the line?

  Not just the exchange list of martial equipment, but also the qualification for joining the Falcon Team!

  After all, the strength shown by the Falcon Team, the great reputation of several leaders, and the noble background they rely on are all what adventurers yearn for.

  Fina has indeed grasped what they yearn for deep down in their bones - that is, to become stronger.

  Earning contribution points in Eagle's Nest strengthens you much faster than usual.

  And if you can join the Falcon team, there's no doubt it will be even faster!

  So every adventurer is working very hard to earn contribution points.

  But now? The Mountain Wolf Mercenary Corps and the Morning Star Mercenary Corps together have nearly 260 people. If each person has to rely on the entrance test to enter the Falcon Team, that would mean a total of 260,000 contribution points, which is an astronomical figure for these adventurers who have only been busy for a month.

  With 2,600,000 contribution points, is it just a single sentence that exempts you?

  The Mountain Wolf Mercenary Corps is nothing special, after all it's a top-notch mercenary corps with a good reputation. What about the Morning Star? Apart from that beautiful female captain "Sparkling Twin Guns", what else is worth mentioning?

  Even if it was a decision made by Fiona Hamilton, even if the two mercenary groups really helped Midia Asurikes, all other adventurers still felt extremely surprised when they heard this decision.

  After the astonishment comes jealousy, and after the jealousy is a deep feeling of the injustice of fate.

  However, such a reaction was already within Fina's expectations. The reason she chose to announce the joining of Shanlang and Chenxing in public was actually to control all the influences in her hands.

  The red-haired girl made a gesture of silence again, and the crowd immediately quieted down. The entire hall was silent, to the point where even breathing sounds could be heard clearly, as everyone waited for the captain of the Falcon Squad to give a fair and satisfactory answer.

  "Captain Kiel, Captain Odell, you two have also seen it, and everyone is surprised." Fina said bluntly, "They are surprised because they haven't seen your abilities before. Hearing is believing, seeing is believing, this is the creed of adventurers, I believe you two understand better than me. How about it, will you directly join the Falcon Team or let everyone see that you have the qualifications to join the Falcon Team?"

  Fina's words are very clear, 260,000 contribution points will definitely be exempt. However, the guild test should still proceed as usual.

  "The mountain wolf is willing to accept the trial of joining the group." Kael nodded slightly and bowed, responding very quickly.

  "The morning star is the same." Odette nodded too.

  After all, even if you directly enter the Falcon Team, the status and respect that people can get in it still depend on their strength. If they don't have the strength, what's the point of squeezing in? Can just having such a title make one superior to others?

  Perhaps nobles would do so, but adventurers absolutely will not. For adventurers, the only thing that can make them show respect is one thing, and that is strength.

  Since it's inevitable to show off strength, might as well do it now in front of everyone, so others won't think Shan Lang and Chen Xing are relying on behind-the-scenes deals to enter the Swift Hawk Squad.

  Fina did this in front of a large crowd, it's better to say that she just gave them an opportunity.

  "But we're new here, what's the specific form of the entrance test?" Kelvin asked carefully.

  "I've heard that the Mountain Wolf Mercenary Corps is renowned for its strategy and military tactics. Since they're joining as a whole team, let's test them in this aspect." Fiona said, then glanced at the beautiful half-elf woman and continued, "As for the Morning Star Mercenary Corps, I've heard they excel in adventure and teamwork. Why don't we select some of their top members and have a six-person team battle?"

  "No problem, Miss Fiona." Odette nodded, "It's just that I don't know if our opponent is a human, a monster, or an automaton?"

  "No need to be so troublesome." The red-haired girl flashed a smile, giving off an overwhelmingly stunning impression in an instant. "Since you're someone Midy brought here, of course I'll personally assess you."

  The Queen of Magic Bullets personally assesses?

  At this moment, Odelle's heart did not have any fear or retreat, but instead produced an irrepressible eagerness to try.

  As for the reason, even she herself is not very clear about it.

  "It's an honor to be able to fight you, and I'm really looking forward to it!" Odette said with a sharp gaze at the red-haired girl.

  Noticing the half-elf's hidden excitement, the red-haired girl flicked her long hair and nodded slightly: "Five minutes, withstand my attack without collapsing, and Dawnstar can become a member of the Falcon Team. Moreover, I can guarantee that all adventurers will understand your strength."

  The Falcon Squad Captain, Bullet Queen, will personally conduct the entrance exam!

  In an instant, the news spread throughout every nook and cranny of Eagle's Nest.

  Adventurers put down their work and rushed to the newly established arena on the east side of Eagle's Nest City. Those who were unwilling to put down their work could only slowly walk towards the martial arts arena - because most craftsmen had closed their shops and rushed over at a faster speed.

  Looking at the crowded round arena, Midi on the central platform couldn't help but feel a wave of emotion.

  Until last year, he and Feena were just students at the Royal Magic Academy. No matter how talented they were or how high their grades were, they were still being evaluated by others, and were objects of evaluation and criticism, at the very bottom of the value chain.

  But in less than a year's time, he and Feena have already become one of those who assess others.

  After all, everything is because of the strength and the previous life compared to the earth-shaking changes.

  Looking at the red-haired girl in the center of the arena, her spirited and refreshing appearance, her elegant and slender back, and that flying spirit, Midy's heart couldn't help but move.

  I think this is probably what Fina truly wanted the Falcon Squad to be like?

  In her previous life, Fiona could only barely maintain the minimum goal due to external environmental pressures, always at the forefront for the sake of the team's hard work. But in this life, Fiona can fully exert her creativity and create a completely different Falcon Team.

  Then what you need to do is very simple.

  Protect her and her treasure.

  Thinking so, Midei secretly made up her mind.

  The sound of "Dong" echoed, and the battle on the arena finally began.

  "Everyone, please add oil, and try to support for three minutes." Fina's voice floated over from afar, "If you can hold on for three minutes, that will be your victory."

  "Come on!" Odette shouted loudly, reaching for the twin guns at her waist.

  Her words had just fallen when her fingertips touched the grip of the gun, and a fine but extremely bright light shot towards her.

  The next moment, the member at the forefront of the team, the Saint Knight with the highest hardness in the Morning Star Mercenary Corps and had reached level 35, was already flying high, like a kite that had broken its string, and rolled out dozens of meters away!
