Despite the hiccup that Jin had unfortunately been in, most of the tour groups that walked around the school did not have much of a problem at all. In fact, the System was anticipating a more chaotic movement of the school compound but most of the things went well.
And like what the Demon Exorcist teacher had said previously, there was a talent showcase, an exhibition of sorts to show people and give confidence that the Demon Exorcists have some rather strong people in their midst despite the incidents that had happened.
In short, they wished to create heroes out of thin air. They want to assure people that competent Demon Exorcists existed and if the Banned Emperor Terrorists were ever to strike again, they are more than ready to not just prevent the attack but put the hurt into their plans as well.
The exhibition showcase did not only have that reason for putting up such performances. It was also to inspire the existing students that such heights could be achievable by them as long as they put in the effort. But what makes this combat exhibition showcase to be different from previous years and openings is that they are in a dimensional instance.
So long they are in this dimensional instance, they have the perception that they would not die even clashing with a difficult opponent. The JODE teachers and management wished to ingrain this into their students too. 'It is precisely because this was a dimensional instance, give your best shot. If you survive, learn what when wrong and how can be improved. If you die.
You can try again until you win against it."
Therefore this current combat exhibition showcase had a big disclaimer. All of these genuine fights to the death and dying should not be seen as a failure by the audience mainly because the current exhibition monsters had been adjusted to be hard.
It is to give the audience a sense of feeling that JODE Demon Exorcists are giving it their all to clear the obstacle that was presented ahead of them. Of course, most of the management did not agree to this initially because they knew how the Chinese people' culture.
All of them wanted to have 'face', and pride in what they do. They will feel ashamed for the things they have done badly and it might haunt them. Thus, by losing in this current combat exhibition showcase, it might only give them a sense of loss and perhaps judgment from the audience.
Of course, these people would never know how much effort these Demon Exorcists had put in or what had caused them to lose. All they know is that they are quick to judge and that judgment will cause these Demon Exorcists to feel ashamed of the loss they had created.
However, Grand Headmistress Yuan had another agenda. "If you think you can lose, then don't lose. If you wish to lose, at least regain your honour by dying with a valiant fight." As heartless as this sounds during her part of her opening speech to the exhibition showcase, Yuan did not care if they lost their 'face' or not.
This was because she wanted to show what kind of standard the current batch of Demon Exorcists have.
In terms of strength, those Demon Monsters would be of lesser strength compared to the humans.
This was the last and final excuse that Jin could make up in case the audience saw that their Demon Exorcist Commandos failed in action. But at the same time, Jin was not expecting much from these commandos mainly due to the fact that they were not as well known as the name suggests them to be.
They might be commandos in name but a lot of them were mostly selected because they were the best in that particular training centre.
And Jin knows that a centre's best might not essentially mean that it could be the nation's best. That was why Jin as heartless as he wanted to be, just gave that last excuse in hopes that the audience and reporters close an eye to the situation.
The Demon Exorcist Commandos on the other hand had no idea who their opponents were until they came in from one side of the stadium when their turn began. Hainan's Phoenix Force was up first as they were polled internally that they were the stronger few groups of commandos compared to the rest.
The JODE management could only hope that they proved to be a survivor in the coming fight. Jin also released his group which was meant to be an enemy for them and it only consisted of one cloaked person and two wolves beside him.
The wolves were made and the souls were fused for this fight. It was not a monster or creature that Jin had captured previously. Therefore, the System had tailored the stats to be of something similar to their opponent's grades. The only difference was that this one cloaked person is of another grade level than the average grade the Commandos possessed.
It was meant to be a challenge and Jin had not relent a single bit.
But when the Demon Exorcist Commandos, Phoenix Force had saw their opponents, they were a little skeptical. 'Just one cloaked person? against a squad of five? Was that a tad too much when it comes to underestimating them?' Those were their thoughts except for the commander who was afraid.
Extremely afraid.
He could not sense the cloaked person's chi, not even a single bit which meant that the person might not be a cultivator or was very good at hiding his chi. Either way, there was no doubt that the person in front of him was not a commoner.
"Battle Formation Charlie. Deal with the wolves first before the human enemy." Phoenix Force Leader said.
