The three groups of candidates went to their respective assessment locations in three directions, and almost all of the candidates set foot in this temple of their dreams for the first time, and the classical and aesthetic design along the way attracted the attention of many candidates. As far as the eye can see, there are not only rolling green flowers, but also unique Gothic spire buildings and contemporary buildings with a sense of lines, and the castle and stone towers with a sense of age constitute a beautiful landscape in the college.

Walking along Central Avenue are candidates who have taken the A-Department examination.

After passing through the administration building, the contemporary art gallery of the college jumps into view, where medieval paintings and works by contemporary art masters are well preserved in the glass exhibition hall, and the glittering crystal chandeliers cast a soft warm light, showing the vicissitudes of time. At the end of the gallery is the Academy's Bridge of the Wise, flanked by ten of the greatest wise men in the history of the Empire, who come to life in a variety of forms. Under the bridge is a clear stream, which flows day and night to represent endless knowledge and wisdom, and the many precious fish species that swim in it amaze these candidates. Standing on the Bridge of the Wise, you can already see the destination of this trip, the teaching area of Department A, which has a nice name - Athena, the legendary god of wisdom.

"Wow, it's the Empire's premier academy, and the people who can study here are so happy. A petite girl was amazed.

"Shhhh The person next to the girl reminded quietly. "Our group of candidates, to put it bluntly, are here to visit, the number of places for external enrollment in the college every year is pitiful, and those who can be admitted are either nobles or geniuses. ”

"It's okay to take a look, and you can brag to the people in the town when you go back. ”

There were whispers in the crowd from time to time.

At the end of the team, there was a familiar figure moving with the flow of people, it was Elaine, the girl who saved Elle. The strange thing is that her dress today seems to be extraordinarily simple and ordinary, and she is the same as the day before yesterday, as if she has changed from a noble lady to a girl next door. Listening to the conversation of the people around her, she pressed the brim of her hat and did not make a sound.

Dressed differently, the A-Department candidates were guided by the soldiers into the emptied teaching area, where they would be in a low-key but luxurious classroom, where they would have a fateful moment in half an hour.

The candidates who enter the western area of the college are the candidates who take the examination of Department B.

Named after the god of war, Tyr, the teaching area is backed by a dormant extinct volcano, Arthur's Seat. Unlike the written assessment of the candidates of the A department, the assessment of the B department pays more attention to the actual combat, and it is obvious that the body of this group of candidates is relatively strong, and there will be some amazing talents who stand out in the annual assessment, so the examination process of this group is also more confrontational.

Led by soldiers, the candidates entered an empty gym, where people were already waiting.

"It seems that these rookies are not a little weaker than ours. Maggie had now taken off her school uniform and changed into a combat uniform for training, but her thin skin was covered with strong muscles, which were the result of years of practicing her fighting skills.

"Don't be too underestimated. A chubby student in the biggest martial arts suit was throwing chocolate balls into his mouth, "You have forgotten how Chairman Li abused the person who provoked him last year." ”

"Chairman Li is also comparable to these rookies?" Maggie tied the white strap on her head, "I'm going to beat them up today so that they don't even know their own father." Maggie nudged the fat student with her elbow, "Shrek, can you eat less snacks, no amount of rations will be enough for you to eat like this on a mission in the future." ”

"Maggie, don't be too violent, after all, there are your future juniors among these people, and it's not good to be too cruel. A hot girl fiddled with her fiery red hair with a makeup mirror in her hand, which attracted the attention of many candidates.

"Are you all there?" asked Sava as he looked at the ten handpicked members in front of him.

"Yes, Director. Ten voices were loud.

Candidates from the Eastern District are candidates who take the C-Department assessment.

The teaching area is named after Klosso, the god of life, and the blue sea in the distance can be faintly seen between the greenery, which is undoubtedly the place with the strongest natural atmosphere of the college, and the school hospital of the college is also located here.

Footsteps rang out of the window, and Al lay alone in front of the window, watching a group of peers his own age walk into a building next to the school hospital. It was quiet outside the ward, and most of the medical staff were transferred to the assessment site, and it was rare to be quiet in the cold ward.

"Admission?" Al remembered the tattered huts and the crooked blackboard in the old town of Nack. "It's been a long time since I've sat at my desk and listened to a teacher's lecture. ”

Once upon a time, Al read aloud words from the blackboard in class. But since that time he injured a few children, he said goodbye to the humble school completely. It's not that the school expelled him, but for Paul's sake, the principal still wanted to keep him, but Al didn't want to go anymore.

He originally thought that the world of children was the most sincere, he was wrong, and the paranoia of some parents had long since built a wall in the hearts of their children, isolating the flawed weak in the wall.

In the West End Fighting Dojo, screams came and went.

"Three groups of No. 25 candidates, eliminated!" the voice of a counter in the dojo of the B department assessment sounded.

The transparent circular dome covered with all glass makes the dojo very light, and the number of candidates in the huge dojo is rapidly decreasing, and the periphery of the dojo is a temporary medical tent.

The door to one of the octagonal cages opened from the outside, and a team of paramedics on call hurried in to lift the paraphilic examinee onto a stretcher.

In fact, there were dozens of such medical teams shuttling in the dojo, and when they saw the candidates who fell to the ground and wailed, several young nurses couldn't help but call out "perverts". Some of the rest of the candidates lining up outside the octagonal cage door were already in two battles, although they were still very confident in the hospital's treatment ability, but seeing the strength of those second-year fighting maniacs in the octagonal cage, everyone swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"The quality is so poor. Maggie tightened the brawling bandage on her wrist, and the white bandage on her forehead was already stained with sweat. "Can you have an eye-catching one? ”

"Candidate No. 30 in the second group, eliminated!"

"Four groups of No. 29 candidates, eliminated"

The two counters shouted one after another.

"Fatty, Sophia, what's the situation with the two of you, one looks harmless to humans and animals, and the other advises me not to be too violent. Maggie's mouth almost fell to the ground, "Why are you two more ruthless than me?" ”

"I didn't mean to, I didn't try too hard, and they just flew. Claire scratched her head a little innocently, and out of nowhere, she found another chocolate ball and threw it into her mouth, looking satisfied.

"People don't want to spend their face with beautiful makeup, finish the task early, I still have to go to our family Eleven." Sophia pulled a strand of long hair in front of her forehead behind her ear, and her charming movements made the candidate who had just fallen to the ground forget the pain, and looked like a nymphomaniac. It wasn't until the medical staff carried him away that he remembered that he had been kicked in the stomach and screamed in pain.

"Enough for both of you. Maggie looked helpless and wiped the sweat from her head.

In the face of the stormy attacks of second-year elite students such as Maggie, few candidates were able to hold out for a minute, and this was the first hurdle to cross to become a freshman in the B department, and the same rule was in the other octagonal cages.

At this time, Director Sava was sitting cross-legged on the tatami mat, making something called "kung fu tea" without distraction, and there were several bowls of boiled fragrant tea on the solid wood tea table next to him, which was full of fragrance. This is an ancient tea ceremony from the East, which was introduced to the West through ship merchants at sea. Not only was he not disturbed by the screams that came from time to time, but he enjoyed it incomparably, and there must be a teacher for his students.

The A-department assessment in the central district was also surging at this time, and only the rustle of writing could be heard in the quiet lecture hall.

The first question of the assessment is selected from the legendary military books of the East - "The Art of War" and "Thirty-six Strategies" and the Western masterpiece "Game Theory". Whether it's brainstorming or brainstorming, as long as you can come up with the best solution, you may win the favor of some eccentric reviewers.

Elaine was by the window, the gardenia-scented breeze blowing on his fair face, his cheeks flushed slightly. Elaine was not easy, and she fell into deep thought as she faced the last question on the paper.

"Let's say country E has 500,000 troops, country F has 400,000 troops, and country G has only 100,000 troops. Suddenly, country E announced that it was going to declare war with country F, and the battlefield was chosen in the region where country G was the weakest, coincidentally, country E and country F both sent envoys to form a military alliance with country G for their own interests, and the relationship between country G and country F was more preferred on weekdays. What would you do if you were the military commander of country G?"

"This question seems to be unusual, but in fact it is a hidden murder," Elaine thought to herself, "First of all, the option of remaining neutral is ruled out, if it is neutral, country G will bear the brunt of the slaughter of war, and the weakest country will become a battlefield in the game of great powers, and the weak country will not have the right to speak, and even attract the hostility of the two major powers, this method is the most undesirable." ”

The oppressive atmosphere in the examination room was like steam scorching every candidate on the scene, and in such a difficult and high-pressure situation, there were many people who directly chose to give up the exam and quit halfway under the supervision of the Crusader soldiers.

Elaine frowned, telling herself not to be affected by external factors, but her slender left hand trembled slightly, and her fingers were already dripping with sweat.

"If you don't choose neutrality, there are still two options left, it seems that it is the most cost-effective alliance with the most powerful country E, and the alliance with country E has the greatest probability of winning the battle against country F, but this plan is actually extremely stupid, and the truth of the cold lips and teeth is well known to the world, and the reason why country E did not dare to act rashly before was precisely because of the checks and balances between country G and country F. If country F dies, to put it bluntly, country E must be the next country to deal with. ”

"Then two options are ruled out, and the last one left is an alliance with country F. First, the relationship between the two countries has always been good, and the alliance with country F can preserve the vitality of country G to the greatest extent, and both sides of the confrontation are 500,000 people, which seems to have a 50 percent victory rate. The moment Elaine's pen tip touched the paper, her consciousness was dazed again.

Put the pen down and watch the minutes and seconds pass as the mechanical clock indicates, and the last remaining option must be right?

"Soldiers, treacherous. Elaine grew up in military life, and her father often mentioned the matter of marching in her ear, and this sentence suddenly came to her mind at this time, Elaine had a flash of inspiration, and seemed to get the answer she wanted.
