Tatsuya Yamazaki
"Thank God, we have got some painkiller comrades. Four of the top ten till now are not from cities like Riverra City."
" Yeah ,we can somewhat believe in ourselves now. We thought all the spots were going to be occupied by them ,as they are in majority who have broken through to Rank 3."
"It will be hard to remain in the top ten as there are still 8 rounds left and there are many more to come ."
"But there will still be some who will make it through in the top twenty."
Every student had their own opinion and they were expressing it among themselves.
Bai Feng and Hang Dong caught up together again with Xin Yan and Ye Tian and talked about the their venture inside the tower.
" Xin Yan, your turn will be coming soon, so listen carefully. When you reach the 3rd floor, don't try the one by one policy in your fight with the robots. Launc your attacks on a bunch of them at the same time."
"Yeah , Xin Yan, Hang Dong is right. You must be thinking that attacking too many at a time will only increase your interval ,and in the end you may not be able to destroy any of them ."
" But you gotta mark our words. The region slightly above the waist of the robots are their weak points among all their parts."
"If you continue targeting there, you can save your time and energy."
" Remember, there are going to be many students who tied at the same score. When that happens, the time you took to deal with the robots will decide your place."
"Ye Tian, it's the same for you too."
Bai Feng completed Hang Dong's words and explained the tactics to Xin Yan and Ye Tian which could be helpful to them in the Artificial Tower.
Hang Dong got embarrassed when he heard Bai Feng telling those words to Ye Tian too. He didn't want to see his friend make a fool of himself again and again , so he looked at Ye Tian in a way as if he was asking ' Can I atleast say it to them about you?'.
Ye Tian understood what Hang Dong was meaning, so he indicated through his hands as to say ' You can explain it to them after my assessment.'
Xin Yan's turn came after the fifth round. She scored 120 ,the same as Hang Dong, but she was two positions ahead of him as she dealt with those robots in less time. She was ranked 31, while Bai Feng and Hang Dong's rankings were 25 and 33 respectively.
They were quite sure that they can remain in the top fifty as there were only four rounds left . It would be quite outrageous if they were to fall out from their current positions.
Two more rounds passed, but Ye Tian's turn still didn't come .
" Ye Tian, it seems that yours will be in the last round."
" You will have a perfect score and timing in your hand which you will need to target before you start your assessment."
"Yeah, Ye Tian, you are lucky that you will not have any pressure on you like us ."
Bai Feng and Xin Yan calculated the benefits of getting the last turn to Ye Tian.
As expected, Ye Tian's turn indeed came the last. But there was a huge uproar among the students when it was his turn.
Of course, it was not because of him. It was due to the coincidence of Aurora and Chu Zhou being in the same round, who were the two top contenders of this assessment.
" Holy f**k, it's gotta be too interesting now."
" Two of them competing against each other at the same time is gonna be a eye catching moment for us ."
" They are most likely gonna beat Michael's record this year. The final question is ,who is gonna beat whom in the end?"
" Don't blink your eyes for a second. They will clear the first floor the moment they enter the tower. "
Ye Tian and others remaining entered the tower at the same time. Ye Tian's section number was 9. He entered in with a carefree mind as he didn't need to worry anyway.
The soon expected moment did indeed happen. Section 1 and Section 4 interface got updated one after another.
[Section 1: Aurora : 1st floor : 32 sec.
2nd floor: ----
Total points: 20 ]
[Section 4: Chu Zhou : 1st floor: 37 sec.
2nd floor:-----
Total points:20 ]
" Holy cow, this is indeed too fast . "
" Only 32 seconds. That Aurora is quite awesome, isn't she ?"
" Yeah, but that Chu Zhou is not far behind either . He just took 5 seconds more than her ."
" The common fact is that they both broke the first floor's Michael's record."
" Haha, a fierce competition like this is boiling my blood."
Almost all the students present in the assessment area were looking forward to this and they got the gist of it now.
Six minutes passed and three 2nd floors interfaces got updated one after another.
Yeah , there were three changes instead of the expected two.
The crowd was in even more uproar after they got the sight of the points tally.
[Section 1: Aurora : 1st floor : 32 sec.
2nd floor: 5 min.
3rd floor:-----
Total points: 60 ]
[Section 4: Chu Zhou : 1st floor: 37 sec.
2nd floor: 5 min 6 sec.
3rd floor:------
Total points: 60 ]
[Section 5: Tatsuya Yamazaki: 1st floor: 45 sec.
2nd floor: 5 min 9 sec.
3rd floor:-------
Total points: 60 ]
"F**king hell, who the f**k is this Tatsuya Yamazaki?"
" Have anyone heard of his name ? He has popped out from nowhere. "
" It can be said that he is powerful as he is extremely close to Aurora and Chu Zhou. If he could've cleared the first floor some seconds sooner, he would've surpassed them ."
"But it's not like he wasn't able to do it , right? Why did he hold back on the first floor? "
" F**k, I can't take it anymore. It's too unbearable to watch the points tally only. I need to see the live stream!."
"Yeah , me too. There must be a function like that in the Artificial Tower.
" Instructors, please show us the live stream of the tower. We beg you . It's not there is anything wrong with it, right?"
Outside the assessment area, the top instructors were also surprised as they didn't expect anything like this to happen.
" Vice Head, should we show the live stream to everyone ? The last round is a rare sight to see. "
" The students can know the power differentiality between them and take inspirations from each other."
Many Instructors had the same view and they asked for permission from the Vice Head.
" You can!"
That mysterious man replied with a smiling face.
When all the instructors present saw the Vice Head's facial expression , they were shocked more and more in their heart.
" Hey , don't you think the Vice Head is more weird today?"
" Yeah , he never watched previous years assessments for this long. He smiled just now , which is very rare even for us."
" He never smiled today until now . Is it because of Tatsuya Yamazaki?"
" It might be possible. "
" We gotta focus on him more ."
All the instructors speculated that it must be because of Tatsuya Yamazaki that the Vice Head reacted like that.
But what they didn't expect that was that the mysterious man was currently not looking on the section no.5 screen, but the no.9.
