Your PM Certification Nomination Approval
Friday, September 6, 2024
For your own safety, I highly recommend reading this email.
You are in big trouble.
However, don't panic right away. Listen to me first, because there is always a way out.
You are now on the radar of an international group of hackers, and such things never end well for anyone.
I'm sure you've heard of Anonymous. Well, compared to us, they are a bunch of schoolboys.
We are a worldwide network of several thousand professionals, each with their own role.
Someone hacks corporate and government networks, someone cooperates with intelligence agencies on the most delicate tasks,
and someone (including me) deals with people like you to maintain the infrastructure of our group.
"What kind of people like me?" - that is the question you are probably asking yourself now.
The answer is simple: people who like to watch highly controversial and, shall we say,
unconventional pornography on the internet that most normal people would consider perverted.
But not you!
In order to leave you without any doubts, I'll explain how I found it out.
Two months ago, my colleagues and I installed spyware software on your computer and then gained access to all of your devices, including your phone.
It was easy - one of those many pop-ups on porn sites was our work.
I think you already understand that we would not write to an ordinary man who watches "vanilla" and even hardcore porn - there is nothing special about that.
But the things you're watching are beyond good and evil.
So after accessing your phone and computer cameras, we recorded you masturbating to extremely controversial videos.
There is a close-up footage of you and a little square on the right with the videos you're pleasing yourself.
However, as I said earlier, there is always a way out, because even the most degraded sinner deserves leniency.
You are lucky today because I am not a sadist who enjoys other people's suffering.
Only money matters to me.
Here is your salvation: you must transfer $1300 in Bitcoin to this BTC cryptocurrency wallet: 1JD7ozyCXkEforfPRv7m5WCFoAEf5BpMHQ
You have exactly 48 hours to make the payment, so think less, and do more.
As soon as I receive confirmation of the transaction, I will delete all compromising content and permanently disable our computer worm.
Believe me, I always abide by gentleman's agreements. Even with people who are hardly gentlemen. Because it's nothing personal, just business.
If I do not receive a payment, I will send all videos of you to every person in your contact list, messengers and email.
Relatives, loved ones, colleagues, friends-everyone you've ever been in contact with will receive them.
You understand perfectly well that you will never be able to wash this stain on your reputation.
Everyone will remember you as sick as fuck.
Your life will be completely ruined, and, most likely, only a tightened noose around your neck will be able to save the day.
If you haven't dealt with crypto before, I suppose it won't be difficult for you to figure it all out.
Simply type in the "crypto exchange" into the search bar and pay with a credit card. Besides, based on your browser history, you are a savvy user.
When you want to, you can dig into the darkest depths of the Internet, so I'm sure you will be able to find out what is what.
Here is what my colleagues and I should warn you against:
...Do not reply to this email. Do you really think we are so stupid to be tracked by an email address? This is a temporary disposable email.
As soon as I clicked "Send", it was gone for good.
...Forget about law-enforcement authorities. As soon as I see that you are trying to contact them, the compromising material will be published.
Remember, I have access to all your devices, and I can even track your movements.
...Do not reset your devices to factory settings and do not try to get rid of your devices.
It won't help in any way. Look above - my All-seeing eye is watching all your actions. It is easy to hunt you down.
I am sorry that we met in such circumstances. Probably, everything could be different if you had been more careful about what you are doing on the Internet.
Watch yourself from now on, because even such things that you previously considered insignificant can destroy your life in the future like a butterfly effect.
I hope this is goodbye forever. However, it depends on you.
P.S. The countdown is on. The choice is yours.

I own very sensitive information about your web activities
<br>
First of all, let me tell you, you are one of a kind!<br>
It is hard to impress me because I have seen a lot in my career as a professional hacker but now I am really impressed. <br>
<br>
I will get straight to the point. Listen to me carefully. <br>
<br>
Several months ago, <br>
I was able to hack your operating system and gain full access to all your devices and accounts including messengers, social media profiles, etc. <br>
<br>
I hope, now you begin to get my message. <br>
It goes without saying that I gained access to what you type via keylogger, your internet activity and webcam streaming. <br>
All of this was possible due to your frequent visits to adult websites infected with harmful malware. <br>
In other words, you were under my microscope for many days like some kind of a little bug.<br>
The only difference is that unlike you there is no bug in the world who like to watch pervert porn. <br>
<br>
Yes, you understand it right: I was able to see everything on your screen and record video and audio streams of your camera and microphone. <br>
All of these records are currently securely saved on my storage as well as a backup copy. <br>
<br>
In addition, I also gained access to your confidential information contained in your emails and chat messages.<br>
<br>
Probably you are wondering why your antivirus and spyware defender software allowed me to do all of this? <br>
I am sorry but it's a very stupid question. All antivirus programs turned into useless shit quite a long time ago. <br>
Have you ever heard last years about any "advanced" new technologies in this industry? <br>
Exactly. Nowadays, developers do not give a flying fuck about your security. Therefore, hackers like me took advantage of it. <br>
<br>
The more you know my friend, no need to thank me. <br>
Maybe with this fresh knowledge, you will be more serious about your internet security and never take it for granted anymore. <br>
<br>
With that out of the way, let's cut to the chase. Using your recordings I made a video compilation, <br>
which shows on the left side the controversial porn scenes of you happily masturbating to, <br>
while on the right side it demonstrates the video you were watching at that moment.. ^.^<br>
<br>
There are only 48 hours left since the moment you receive this email until I send this video to all your email and messenger contacts. <br>
But there is more, guess what? I can also make public all your emails and chat history.<br>
<br>
You are sick fuck in love with freaky adult content but you are not mentally retarted so I would like to believe, you do not want to let this happen. <br>
Right? Only the most stupid man in the world would be happy if his friends, loved ones and colleagues suddenly knew about something like this. <br>
<br>
In other words, there is no way back. It cannot be fixed. However, there is a way forward that both of us can benefit from. <br>
I am a reasonable guy and have no intention to ruin your life for nothing. I'd better like to gain something instead. <br>
<br>
Here is your salvation - transfer the Bitcoin equivalent of 790 USD to my Bitcoin account<br>
(you can google the process in case you don't know how to do that).<br>
<br>
Here is my Bitcoin address: 1854QQaFFbozEXBK16peLPvUW1JBdoQoCz<br>
<br>
Once I am notified of receiving it, I will delete all those videos and disappear from your life for good.<br>
As I mentioned, you have only 48 hours to make a transaction after you open this email.<br>
<br>
Believe me, I am always one step ahead so no way in hell you could fool me. <br>
If I discover that you shared this message with others, I will send and publish your videos in no time.<br>
<br>
P.S. It's in your power to make it nice for both of us.

"I should be ungrateful indeed if I could forget him. He was the only person in the school who was kind to me. Is the good old man still living?" The distant lamp, inside the window-frame, depicts their shade both far and near. The ladies rose. As they were ascending the stairs, one of them said to Mrs. Ferrars, "Your son's name is very pretty, but it is very uncommon, is it not?" "Is it possible that it can be that false, bad man who is guilty?" She was thinking of herself—of her freedom—though the boy knew it not. She buried her face in her hands and continued speaking; William had to bend his ear to catch the faint whisper. "There's lunch at two, just bread and butter and cheese, and perhaps a bit of cold meat. There's dinner at seven; and very bad it is, because they don't have any good meat in London. Down in Fifeshire the meat's a deal better than it is here, only I never go there now. At half-past ten I go to bed. It's a pity you're so young, because I don't know what you'll do about going out. Perhaps, as you ain't pretty, it won't signify." The carpentry of the mill-wheel had proved so very stanch and steadfast that even in that raging deluge the whole had held together. It had been bodily torn from its hold and swept away down the valley; but somewhere it grounded, as the flood ebbed out, and a strong team had tugged it back again. And the Sawyer had vowed that, come what would, his mill should work with the self-same wheel which he with younger hands had wrought. Now this wheel (to prevent any warp, and save the dry timber from the sun) was laid in a little shady cut, where water trickled under it. And here I had taken up my abode to watch my monster nugget. As the sun declined, on a lovely summer evening, the few invalids feebly wandering about the flower-beds, or resting under the trees, began to return to the house in dread of the dew. Catherine and her child, with the nursemaid in attendance, were left alone in the garden. Kitty found her mother, as she openly declared, "not such good company as usual." Since the day when her grandmother had said the fatal words which checked all further allusion to her father, the child had shown a disposition to complain, if she was not constantly amused. She complained of Mrs. Presty now. My mania for these flowers is just as keen as was that of the squire, who once lived in Ch'ang An. Mrs. Carbuncle and Lady Eustace had now been up in town between six and seven weeks, and the record of their doings has necessarily dealt chiefly with robberies and the rumours of robberies. But at intervals the minds of the two ladies had been intent on other things. The former was still intent on marrying her niece, Lucinda Roanoke, to Sir Griffin, and the latter had never for a moment forgotten the imperative duty which lay upon her of revenging herself upon Lord Fawn. The match between Sir Griffin and Lucinda was still to be a match. Mrs. Carbuncle persevered in the teeth both of the gentleman and or the lady, and still promised herself success. And our Lizzie, in the midst of all her troubles, had not been idle. In doing her justice we must acknowledge that she had almost abandoned the hope of becoming Lady Fawn. Other hopes and other ambitions had come upon her. Latterly the Corsair had been all in all to her, with exceptional moments in which she told herself that her heart belonged exclusively to her cousin Frank. But Lord Fawn's offences were not to be forgotten, and she continually urged upon her cousin the depth of the wrongs which she had suffered. Chia Jui was driven to a state of exasperation; now he kept this one in check, and the next moment he reasoned with another, but who would listen to his words? They followed the bent of their inclinations and stirred up a serious disturbance. "You must connect yourself with a party," said Mr. Bertie Tremaine, "and you will soon enter; and being young, you should connect yourself with the party of the future. The country is wearied with the present men, who have no philosophical foundation, and are therefore perpetually puzzled and inconsistent, and the country will not stand the old men, as it is resolved against retrogression. The party of the future and of the speedy future has its headquarters under this roof, and I should like to see you belong to it." His manner became undisguisedly tender; his language changed in the one way of all others that was most perilous to her — he appealed to her pity: "Oh, Sydney, it's so hard to part with you!" "There," said he to his habitual companion —"there is the very spot where the first English ship, sent into these seas in 1815, was lost, during the third of Parry's voyages to the Pole; the Fury was so damaged by the ice on her second wintering, that her crew were obliged to desert her and return to England on board her companion ship the Hecla." Lin Tai-yü entered the door with the creepers, resting on the hand of a matron. In the meantime, the great news being no longer a secret, the utmost excitement prevailed in the world of politics. The Tories had quite made up their minds that the ministry would have resigned, and were sanguine, under such circumstances, of the result. The parliament, which the ministry was going to dissolve, was one which had been elected by their counsel and under their auspices. It was unusual, almost unconstitutional, thus to terminate the body they had created. Nevertheless, the Whigs, never too delicate in such matters, thought they had a chance, and determined not to lose it. One thing they immediately succeeded in, and that was, frightening their opponents. A dissolution with the Tories in opposition was not pleasant to that party; but a dissolution with a cry of "Cheap bread!" amid a partially starving population, was not exactly the conjuncture of providential circumstances which had long been watched and wished for, and cherished and coddled and proclaimed and promised, by the energetic army of Conservative wire-pullers. "But if I die?" asked Tai-yü. Up there, installed at his ease, he resumed his interrupted repast, and gathered the fruits which were within his reach. Torres, like him, was much in want of something to eat and drink, but it was impossible! His pouch was flat, his flask was empty. "This is the first time we meet," he observed. "Our meeting was so unexpected that I have no suitable congratulatory present to offer you. This was conferred upon me by His Majesty, and is a string of chaplet-pearls, scented with Ling Ling, which will serve as a temporary token of respectful congratulations." "Oh! pardon me, dear Myra," said Adriana, "but I really am so very unhappy." He quitted his house, and walked with a rapid step toward the Grove. The moon was bright as on the previous evening. After he had left the town behind him, and was passing the scattered villas already mentioned, he cast an involuntary glance at the wood, which rose behind them on his left hand. It was called Abbey Wood, from the circumstance that in old days an abbey had stood in its vicinity, all traces of which, save tradition, had passed away. There was one small house, or cottage, just within the wood, and in that cottage had occurred the murder for which Richard Hare's life was in jeopardy. It was no longer occupied, for nobody would rent it or live in it. "All tied in my own pocket-handkerchief!" the poor old woman began to scream; "the one with the three-cornered spots upon 'un. Only two have I ever owned in all my life, and this was the very best of 'em. Oh dear! oh dear! that ever I should come to this exposing of my things!" "I am sure your friend, Lady Montfort, my dear Dymy, will back the Count of Ferroll," lisped a third young gentleman. In real truth Frank was becoming very sick of her. It seemed to him now to have been almost impossible that he should ever soberly have thought of making her his wife. The charm was all gone, and even her prettiness had in his eyes lost its value. He looked at her, asking himself whether in truth she was pretty. She had been travelling all day, and perhaps the scrutiny was not fair. But he thought that even after the longest day's journey Lucy would not have been soiled, haggard, dishevelled, and unclean, as was this woman. "You say he seemed intimate with Otway Bethel?" Being twenty years old by this time, I was wiser than I used to be, and now made a practice of thinking twice before rushing into peril, as I used to do in California, and to some extent also in England. For though my adventures might not have been as strange as many I myself have heard of (especially from Suan Isco), nevertheless they had comprised enough of teaching and suffering also to make me careful about having any more. And so for a long time I kept at the furthest distance possible, in such a war, from the vexing of the air with cannons, till even Colonel Cheriton's daughters — perfectly soft and peaceful girls — began to despise me as a coward. Knowing what I had been through, I indulged their young opinions. "It is too wide a speculation to enter upon. And no satisfactory conclusion could come of it." The cabinets were over: the government had decided on their measures, and put them in a state of preparation, and they were about to disperse for a month. The seat of Lord Roehampton was in the extreme north of England, and a visit to it was inconvenient at this moment, and especially at this season. The department of Lord Roehampton was very active at this time, and he was unwilling that the first impression by his wife of her future home should be experienced at a season little favourable to the charms of a northern seat. Mr. Sidney Wilton was the proprietor of the most beautiful and the most celebrated villa in England; only twenty miles from town, seated on a wooded crest of the swan-crowned Thames, with gardens of delight, and woods full of pheasants, and a terrace that would have become a court, glancing over a wide expanse of bower and glade, studded with bright halls and delicate steeples, and the smoke of rural homes. In a few minutes they were seated in the pony carriage. Barbara's tongue was burning to ask questions, but John sat behind them, and would have overheard. When they arrived at East Lynne, Mr. Carlyle gave her his arm up the steps, and took her into the breakfast-room. "I'm last again!" smiled Pao-yü. "Is it likely that: Shocked and distressed, good Mr. Sarrazin kissed her, and consoled her, and told another excusable lie. "Boulogne-sur-Mer, of all places, in the world!" remonstrated Lady Isabel. "It is spoken of as being crowded and vulgar." As yet the little river showed no signs of doing what the rustic — or surely it should have been the cockney — was supposed to stand still and wait for. There was no great rush of headlong water, for that is not the manner of the stream in the very worst of weather; but there was the usual style of coming on, with lips and steps at the sides, and cords of running toward the middle. Quite enough, at any rate, to make the trout jump, without any omen of impending drought, and to keep all the play and the sway of movement going on serenely. "Quite so!" answered old lady Chia laughingly. "I forgot all about him." "Oh, how can I tell! A brute. There!" In all my little experience of life nothing yet astonished me more than this. I scarcely knew whom to believe, or what. That the Major, most upright of men, should take up his cousin's roguery — all new to him — and speak of him thus! But he gave me a nudge; and being all confusion, I said nothing, and tried to look at neither of them, because my eyes must always tell the truth. "Ai!" exclaimed lady Feng, "here you are back from a trip to Suchow and Hang Chow, where you should have seen something of the world! and have you still an eye as envious and a heart so covetous? Well, if you wish to bestow your love on her, there's no difficulty worth speaking of. I'll take P'ing Erh over and exchange her for her; what do you say to that? that old brother Hsüeh is also one of those men, who, while eating what there is in the bowl, keeps an eye on what there is in the pan! For the last year or so, as he couldn't get Hsiang Ling to be his, he made ever so many distressing appeals to Mrs. Hsüeh; and Mrs. Hsüeh while esteeming Hsiang Ling's looks, though fine, as after all a small matter, (thought) her deportment and conduct so far unlike those of other girls, so gentle and so demure that almost the very daughters of masters and mistresses couldn't attain her standard, that she therefore went to the trouble of spreading a banquet, and of inviting guests, and in open court, and in the legitimate course, she gave her to him for a secondary wife. But half a month had scarcely elapsed before he looked upon her also as a good-for-nothing person as he did upon a large number of them! I can't however help feeling pity for her in my heart." "Yet, forsooth, as I fell a-pondering over all the comfort and help that I might have been and that I might have had, if I had been but a little of a trembling cur to creep and crawl before abbot and bishop and baron and bailiff, came the thought over me of the evil of the world wherewith I, John Ball, the rascal hedge-priest, had fought and striven in the Fellowship of the saints in heaven and poor men upon earth. Once more, then, Joam Dacosta would have to escape by flight from an unjust imprisonment. "I must speak, Lady Isabel; it is but a few words, and then I am silent forever. I would have declared myself had I dared, but my uncertain position, my debts, my inability to keep a wife, weighed me down; and, instead of appealing to Sir Peter, as I ought to have done, for the means to assume a position that would justify me in asking Lord Mount Severn's daughter, I crushed my hopes within me, and suffered you to escape—" "Ignorance," the party said with one consent, "does not amount to guilt." My eyes met hers, and she turned as pale as death, and fell back into a lobby chair. She knew me by my likeness to my father, falling on the memories started by my name; and strong as she was, the surprise overcame her, at the sound of which up rushed the small Herr Strouss. But who would have thought it, at the close of winter of this year, Lin Ju-hai contracted a serious illness, and forwarded a letter, by some one, with the express purpose of fetching Lin Tai-yü back. These tidings, when they reached dowager lady Chia, naturally added to the grief and distress (she already suffered), but she felt compelled to make speedy preparations for Tai-yü's departure. Pao-yü too was intensely cut up, but he had no alternative but to defer to the affection of father and daughter; nor could he very well place any hindrance in the way. Pao-yü, at this answer, spat at him contemptuously. "You are, in very truth, a useless fool!" he cried. "Haven't you even enough gumption for such a trifling job as this?" The commandant did not wait for a second invitation, and an appointment was made for eleven o'clock. In the meantime Yaquita, her daughter, and the young mulatto, accompanied by Manoel, went for a walk in the neighborhood, leaving Benito to settle with the commandant about the tolls — he being chief of the custom-house as well as of the military establishment. Mrs. Hsüeh hurriedly took up the thread of the conversation. "All you know," she interposed, "is to find fault with your sister's remarks as being perverse; but can it be that what you said last night was the proper thing to say? In very truth, you were drunk!" "I know myself how matters stand," Chia Huan rejoined, as he cast a steady glance at her; "so don't you try and befool me! Now that you are on intimate terms with Pao-yü, you don't pay much heed to me. I've also seen through it myself." "Anybody there?" Mrs. Westerfield asked. Joam Garral stopped himself. He regained his usual command over himself, and his features recovered their habitual calm. "Well, that you can easily do." "Whatever does this mean?" said the doctor. . . . w York. Of a sudden, while in this state of unconsciousness, it seemed as if he had betaken himself on foot to some spot or other whither he could not discriminate. Unexpectedly he espied, in the opposite direction, two priests coming towards him: the one a Buddhist, the other a Taoist. As they advanced they kept up the conversation in which they were engaged. "Whither do you purpose taking the object you have brought away?" he heard the Taoist inquire. To this question the Buddhist replied with a smile: "Set your mind at ease," he said; "there's now in maturity a plot of a general character involving mundane pleasures, which will presently come to a denouement. The whole number of the votaries of voluptuousness have, as yet, not been quickened or entered the world, and I mean to avail myself of this occasion to introduce this object among their number, so as to give it a chance to go through the span of human existence." "The votaries of voluptuousness of these days will naturally have again to endure the ills of life during their course through the mortal world," the Taoist remarked; "but when, I wonder, will they spring into existence? and in what place will they descend?" "I have not said a word of thanks to you for all your kindness, Mr. Carlyle," she cried, her breath very labored. "I am sure you have seen that I could not." "My dear girl," urged Pao-yü, nodding and sighing. "Don't be making a fool of me! For if you can't make out these words, not only have I ever uselessly lavished affection upon you, but the regard, with which you have always treated me, has likewise been entirely of no avail! And it's mostly because you won't set your mind at ease that your whole frame is riddled with disease. Had you taken things easier a bit, this ailment of yours too wouldn't have grown worse from day to day!" But once on board, where was Joam Dacosta to seek refuge? To return to Iquitos was to follow a road full of difficulties and peril, and a long one in any case, should the fugitive either travel across the country or by the river. Neither by horse not pirogue could he be got out of danger quickly enough, and the fazenda was no longer a safe retreat. He would not return to it as the fazender, Joam Garral, but as the convict, Joam Dacosta, continually in fear of his extradition. He could never dream of resuming his former life. "F. G." "He was then made Lord Fawn of Richmond, in the peerage of the United Kingdom. Fawn Court, you know, belonged to my mother's father before my mother's marriage. The property in Ireland is still mine, but there's no place on it."
骑士一班的诚意无可挑剔。作为本次考核最有优势的班级，全班主动前来表示与魔法一班联合，条件也极其优厚，魔法一班没有任何不答应的理由。同盟瞬间完成。
作为老师的丝予看着讲台前的龙当当和龙空空兄弟二人，也不禁心生奇异之感，这就是天才吗？这次的同盟，无疑让身为班长的龙家兄弟拥有了更高的威望，接下来就看考核了。
考核对于整个一年级来说都是仓促的。在很多班级，尤其是法系班级的班主任们看来，这简直就是胡来。一群根本就学到什么东西的孩子，能考核出什么来？
但是，新任年级组长的决定他们也无力反抗，老师还不得用任何方式影响考核，一切全由学生自主。
周末一大早，所有一年级学员就全都集中在了圣殿学院的大操场上。
操场最前方，那叶双手背后，邋遢的形象略有改善，大手一挥，"出发！"
出了学院，然后就出了腾龙城。一路步行，两个小时后，九百人的队伍被拉到了野外。
当所有人被命令停下步伐的时候，前方是一片丘陵地带，丘陵上植物茂盛，这一片地形十分复杂，用山林来形容是最合适的。
"龙当当、龙空空出列。"那叶在前面面无表情的说道。
龙当当、龙空空分别从魔法一班和骑士一班的队伍中走了出来。
"基于你们本身徽章一百积分的特殊性，允许你们提前出发一刻钟。接下来的考核，将在这片山林地带进行。老师们会掌控范围，到范围边缘时必须折返，不得脱离考核范围。考核一直到明天傍晚结束，在这过程中，考核范围会逐渐收缩，获得五个积分以上的学员可以主动退出考核。积分不够者，必须一直留在考核区域内争取获得积分。你们可以出发了，一刻钟后，其他所有班级出发。现在你们可以彼此拉开距离，等时间到达后即刻进入考核区域。"
对于考核的具体要求，龙当当和龙空空也是眼前才知道，兄弟二人对视一眼，也不多说，立刻朝着前方的山林区域跑去。
龙当当看向魔法一班的同学们，抬手指了指空中。
很快，两人就攀上了第一个小山包，然后消失不见了。
"慢点，你慢点。仗着你灵力多是不是？"很快，龙空空就叫了起来。
从灵力上来看，龙空空就算加上外灵力和最近元涡灵炉的提升，距离一百点灵力也还差得远呢，自然比龙当当差了不少。
龙当当放慢脚步，一边四下观望着地形，一边对龙空空道："最近苟老都教你啥了？"
龙空空翻了个白眼，道："回头我就跟他告状去，说你叫他苟老。滑步、格挡、寸劲。就这三种。格挡和寸劲我算是入门吧，滑步那绝对是炉火纯青。"一边说着，脚下微微发力，一個滑步就已经出去了四五米，遇到凸起的石头还来了个变向，确实是有几分行云流水的味道。
"你那两个老师呢？教你啥了？"
龙当当嘴角抽搐了一下，"回头咱俩换换，让你试试？"
一边说着，他右手抬起，淡淡的青光在掌心之中凝聚，大约积蓄了三秒左右的时间，手腕一抖，一道风刃飞射而出，身边一株大树的树枝顿时掉落下来，砸在地面上，吓了龙空空一跳。
"你能施展魔法了？这么快？"龙空空惊讶的看着哥哥。
"嗯，风刃可以了。需要点蓄力时间。"紫天舞教的东西他学的很快，但毕竟也只有几天时间，哪怕是风元素之子的天赋，现在也只是勉强掌握了风刃。但他这风刃，比一般初学的魔法师明显要强不少。
蓄力，再次释放出风刃，切割着掉落在地面的粗树枝，龙当当又从怀中摸出两根绳子。
粗树枝被他切成三根长约一米二左右的木棍，握在手中挥舞了一下，还算趁手。其中一根给了龙空空，自己则是拎起两根。
"绳子干嘛用？"龙空空问道。
龙当当道："爬树的时候，把木棍绑在身上啊！"
考核不允许携带任何武器，但可没说不能就地取材制造武器。这三根木棍就是他们现在的武器了。
一边说着，他把自己手中的木棍先递给龙空空，然后猛然跃起，抓住旁边一株大树的枝丫，向上一荡，三两下就爬了上去。
龙空空都看的惊了，他只觉得龙当当身轻如燕，竟是像变了个人。
风元素之子体质，让龙当当身体周围时刻都萦绕着风元素的力量，身体轻盈是最基本的特质。
绳子从树上垂下来，龙当当把弟弟拉上了树，两人在树冠之中躲了起来。
算算时间，一刻钟也差不多要到了。
龙当当也不闲着，坐在树冠上，蓄力，释放风刃，再蓄力，再释放风刃。切割着大树上那一根根粗大的枝丫。很快就有很多枝干掉落在地。
龙空空道："伱这是干嘛？树秃了咱们还怎么躲？"
龙当当淡淡的道："我们需要躲吗？别忘了，哥可是准骑士了。除了我，全年级谁能有一百以上的总灵力？而且，马上我们不是就和大家汇合了吗？我这是先给你们班同学弄点武器。哪用得了明天，今天咱们就把考核结束了。"
一边说着，他又凝聚出一道风刃，然后朝着空中释放而出。青光足足冲起三十米，才在空中渐渐消散。
时间不长，远处，他们之前过来的方向，一团金光在空中绽开，虽然是白天，但还是能够清晰的看到。照明弹。
这就是龙当当之前布置好的联络方式，他是在告诉魔法一班自己所在的位置，魔法一班和骑士一班的同学们在汇合之后就会第一时间赶过来和他们两个汇合在一起。
一刻钟的时间，他们本来也没有过于深入，时间不长，两个班五十八名同学就汇聚了过来。
看到他们到来，龙当当带着龙空空这才重新回到地面上。
"把树枝弄成适合自己的木棍，人手一根。魔法一班的也一样。"龙当当大声说道。
两个班的同学完全认不出哪个是龙当当，哪个是龙空空，听他开口，反正就都当做是自己班的班长了。在龙当当的风刃切割之下，很快，周围几株大树的枝丫就变成了他们手中的武器。
在目前学员们都不会太多技能的情况下，手中有武器和没有武器，那绝对是天差地别的。
龙空空向溪风问道："刚才你们有没有看到近战系有哪个班级在这边附近？"
溪风道："好像看到战士二班也朝着这边过来了，在那个方向。"一边说着，他指向一个方向。
龙空空看向龙当当，道："走，咱们先弄那些近战系的，抢了他们再说。"
众人现在手中都有了木棍，连魔法师都是信心爆棚。在龙当当、龙空空的带领下，趁着这会儿体力充沛，立刻出发。
很快，他们就看到了前方不远处一群人正在向山林深处行进着。
龙空空断喝一声，"前面的人，站住。小爷在此。"
龙当当在后面一挥手，魔法一班和骑士一班的学生们顿时都原地蹲了下来。
正走在前面赶路的战士二班学生们听到有人呼喊，顿时转过头来，一眼就看到了手持木棍的龙空空。
龙空空那是什么？那是一百积分啊！山林之中视野不佳，再加上龙当当和龙空空先前都是单独进入的山林，他们自然想不到会有什么埋伏。
只是对视了一眼，就听战士二班一名学生叫道："弄他，一百积分呢。"下一刻，三十名学生嗷嗷叫着就冲向了龙空空。
龙空空挥舞了一下手中的木棍，转身就跑。战士二班的学生从高处跑下来，速度很快，飞速接近。借着冲势，势头那是相当的凶猛。
但也就在这时，一道道高大的身影猛然蹿出，战士二班的学生想要刹车都已经来不及了。
一根根木棍带着凶悍的破空声劈头盖脸的就砸了过来。
一声声惨叫此起彼伏，只用了不到三分钟的时间，战士二班的全体学员就都已经被打倒在地。
嗯，和骑士一班一样惨的是，战士班级的女学员也很少，至少战士二班没有。一个个被揍得鼻青脸肿，身上的徽章自然也是被洗劫一空。三十枚徽章到手。
按照规则，每枚徽章是一个积分，一年级一共九百名学生，就是九百积分，额外加上龙当当、龙空空这两百，也就是一千零九十八积分而已，最终能够获得考核成功的，十不足一。毕竟，每个人需要五个积分才行。
一下就弄到了三十枚徽章，顿时令魔法一班和骑士一班的学员们气势大盛。留下怨声载道的战士二班，众人再次上路。
这时候各个班级都才刚刚进入考核区域，基本上都是小心翼翼，提防着与别的班级碰撞。
当魔法一班和骑士一班的联盟碰到第二个班级的时候，没有第一次那么好运，被对方也是第一时间发现了。这次碰到的是刺客学院的班级，人家一看他们人多势众，掉头就跑。不得不说，刺客班级的学生速度足够快，愣是没追上，只是抓到了落后的几名学生，又缴获了五枚徽章而已。而连续的奔跑追击，让魔法一班的众人已经有些疲惫了，毕竟，体能不是他们的强项。
龙空空双手叉腰，扭头看向龙当当，道："现在咋办？这考核区域还挺大的。想要拿到足够多的积分，要碰到人才行。这么找下去，体力都够呛。学院连食物和饮水都没发，这是还要让我们野外生存。"
龙当当道："这种情况我预料到了。这次的考核实际上就是考验我们野外生存和团队配合。我估计那叶老师就没打算有几个能通过考核的。甚至更多的是让大家围追咱们。"
龙空空点了点头，道："是那老头的阴险风格。哥，你们班里面有没有能释放火系魔法的？我有个想法。"
龙当当心中一动，"你不是要放火烧山吧？"
龙空空嘿嘿一笑，"还是你懂我啊！这片山林周围没有村镇，整体面积实际上也不算太大。现在是春季，天干物燥的。我们要是点把火，发现着火了，同学们必定会慌不择路，我们只要顺着火区的边缘行进，肯定能碰上被大火逼出来的他们。那就省事儿多了。学院那么多老师看着呢，也不会有啥伤亡出现。别忘了，苟老那可是九阶骑士。火烧大了他也能阻止。"
龙当当双眼微眯，"是个办法，不过，回头要是他收拾你，你可要有心理准备。"
龙空空笑眯眯的道："准备了，放心。"
一个小时后，圣殿学院腾龙城分院一年级新生的第一次考核被提前终止了。没办法，因为考核区域已经有五分之一着火了，新生们更是鸡飞狗跳。继续下去，整片深林恐怕都将不保。
一片甘霖降下，熄灭了山火。等到一年级所有学生重新聚集在出发点的时候。那叶脸色极为难看的盯视着依旧聚集在一起的魔法一班和骑士一班联盟。
"谁！是谁放的火？"那叶怒不可遏的怒吼着。
"报告老师，是龙当当放的火。"龙空空义正严词的大步走出，"是他说的，这是战术。"
龙当当看着出卖了自己的弟弟，一把搂住他的肩膀，"这就是你的准备？"
龙空空回头笑眯眯的看向他，不以为耻反以为荣的点点头，道："对呀，老头子说，你的老师是莽骑士，我相信以他那安全第一的作风，肯定不敢把你怎样。再说了，这次考核本来就是他算计我们，我们反算计他一下，怎么了？你说对不？亲爱的哥哥。"
