The selection was over.
A full nineteen Swordsmen had survived this round on Mount Fujikasane.
Seven were confirmed to have killed at least one Demon.
A talented Swordsman like Makomo had even killed four on her own.
It pained Xia Xi a little to see it.
Of the remaining twelve, five had chosen to work together and eliminated two Demons.
Only seven had no kills to their names.
But they had neither called for help nor done anything else out of line.
Perhaps too many Demons had been killed, and their luck had been poor enough that they had not encountered a single one.
In the end, the examiners each picked a few of them and exchanged several moves with them individually to test their skills.
Only then was the data on all the candidates complete.
Those reserves who met the requirements became full-fledged Swordsmen, while the few who fell short were assigned to logistical posts.
The rest were sent back to their Cultivators.
It remained to be seen whether they would continue their training.
Or simply change careers and become outsourced temporary workers at the Wisteria House.
Fifteen became Swordsmen in the end.
Both the survival rate and the pass rate were far higher than in previous years.
After having a priest announce the subsequent distribution of equipment and communication devices on his behalf, Xia Xi began reviewing and summarizing the proceedings with the assistant examiners.
The assistant examiners were responsible for summarizing the assessment process and any oversights.
The assistant examiners were responsible for recording reports and procedures from this round of invigilation as reusable reference material.
And for helping the priests clean up the examination grounds.
Burying the dead, counting the remaining Demons, checking the Wisteria Flower Barrier for damage...
As for him, the esteemed Dawn Hashira...
