Suddenly, it was announced that there would be a special test tomorrow. Before the group could even react, they were told that the drawing of lots was about to begin.
The special test would be conducted in the form of a four-person team, with the specific members determined by drawing lots.
If there were no drawing of lots, they would definitely be teamed up with acquaintances. But with the drawing of lots, the outcome suddenly became more complicated.
In other words, if they were matched with people they were not familiar with, how would they be able to adapt to each other in a short period of time and successfully pass the subsequent tests? This was an important task.
St. Laurent Academy was a military academy, so the test naturally had to assess various aspects of the students' abilities.
In theory, the graduates here were all reserve officers of the empire. Even the lowest-ranking officers had to possess the ability to coordinate and manage their subordinates. Random teaming was obviously meant to test this ability.
As for the other meaning of drawing lots, it should be "luck"...
...After all, there is nothing more unreasonable than luck, yet it can also have a significant impact on the situation at critical moments, right?
As Li Wei looked around at others who either looked confident or worried, he felt no psychological burden.
After all, even in the most adverse environments, it was only a simulation. And if it was a simulation, he had already experienced too many grand scenes in his dreams.
Facing The Disater, the overwhelming tide of magical warriors that could cause ninety percent of intelligent beings to completely lose their minds, it was a magnificent and spectacular sight...
Li Wei, who had personally dealt with such a scene five times, didn't think that a test at a military academy would be a big deal.
Therefore, he calmly stepped forward and reached out to draw his lot from the box. The number "7" was written shiningly on it...
"Number seven, so does that mean that the person who drew the same number is my teammate?"
As Li Wei said this, he noticed that many classmates around him were relieved, as if they were glad not to be grouped with him.
Li Wei could totally understand this. After all, he appeared to be a second-generation rich kid who was just idling his time away. Who would want to team up with someone like that?
Although Li Wei had always performed average, as he himself said, even in idleness, his scores and grades were not a problem.
Among those students who were glad not to be grouped with Li Wei, many had scores and grades that were no different from his.
But as the saying goes, without comparison, there is no distinction. Who made Li Wei almost inseparable from Clair.
With this classmate who was top of the class in everything, Li Wei and her stood together, and they were even engaged. There was a considerable gap in their identities.
This kind of comparison naturally made it seem as if Li Wei was unworthy of Clair in every respect. Of course, it also created the impression among the surrounding onlookers that this man couldn't do anything right.
Of course, Li Wei's interpersonal relationships hadn't reached the point of being completely disastrous.
At least, some students with similar grades or from minor noble families were friendly towards Li Wei.
There were even a number of boys in similar situations who regarded Li Wei as a role model for their comeback, always trying to find out from him what clever tricks he used to make Clair devoted to him.
But of course, the better the attitude of these people towards Li Wei, the worse his image became in the minds of other classmates, especially the girls.
Faced with this situation, Li Wei naturally accepted it calmly because it was the result of his own actions.
Just as Li Wei was lost in his thoughts, suddenly two voices came, one after the other...
"Yay, it's number seven~" "Tsk, it's number seven..."
The stark contrast between the cheerful voice and the indifferent voice was so great that it immediately caught the attention of the people around them.
Li Wei didn't even need to look to know that his headache was coming.
Fuck, is this drawing really random? The show's effect is too strong, isn't it?
"Li Wei, we're on the same team, hahaha. Now I can relax. I was worried about what you would do without me by your side~"There is no doubt that among the whole class, there is only one person who would show this kind of attitude after drawing the number seven, and that person is Clair. She flew forward and hugged Li Wei from behind, affectionately helping him fuel the hatred of the girls. At the same time, a few boys in the distance, were enviously giving Li Wei a thumbs up. Although the expressions of the girls and boys were different, the meaning they wanted to convey was probably the same.
"The guy with extraordinary luck who drew the number seven and gets to be in the same group as Clair~"
Meanwhile, Li Wei certainly did not forget the exclamation of surprise. He heard footsteps approaching him and Clair, and they both looked up to see a girl with clean, short hair and a serious expression... This girl, how should I describe her? She is a strict disciplinarian whose classroom discipline is well-known. Despite being fifty years old this year, she is still single. She looks about thirty years old.
The girl's name is Vera Barker... a model student with excellent grades in all subjects. If I had to describe her in one word... a Japanese-style student council member, that's pretty much it.
Naturally, in the eyes of this highly motivated, diligent student, Li Wei was well aware of his own image. If Clair was the one in the class who most wanted to be in the same team as Li Wei, then... the current Vera was probably the person who least wanted to be in the same team as him.
To be able to bring these two extremes together, Li Wei began to suspect whether there was some manipulation behind the scenes of this draw!
Vera glanced at the two of them, especially Li Wei... her gaze was quite piercing.
"...Looks like I drew a terrible draw."
As soon as she spoke, the atmosphere instantly became intense, and several students who had already drawn their lots became excited when they saw this scene.
Great, there's a show to watch!
Among them, many lamented that they did not end up in the same group as their familiar friends, but when compared to Li Wei's group, they suddenly felt happy.
Clair released her hold on Li Wei and smilingly stood in front of him. "Indeed, that's quite unfortunate. I will do my best to cooperate with Miss Vera and not drag you down."
"... "
Before Li Wei could say anything, Clair took the initiative to deflect Vera's attack from him to herself.
Now, even Vera felt somewhat helpless. After all, Clair has always overshadowed her in terms of background and grades. Although Vera has been secretly trying to surpass Clair, she definitely recognizes Clair's abilities. At least, she doesn't think Clair would hold her back.
However, faced with Clair's initiative to defend Li Wei, her disgust towards him naturally deepened.
"... So, I really can't understand, Clair, someone as outstanding as you... why do you always protect that kind of guy?"
Alright, this straightforward attack instantly excited the surrounding audience who were watching the drama. If it weren't for being in the classroom, they would have loved to cheer.
... Faster, we love to watch women quarrel!
