Chapter 53: The Real Assessment
Vickers's reaction was strange to the two of them, neither the joy of success nor the confusion of a choice, as if he didn't know it was an interview.
Interview?What to interview?The people who lined up outside the door were waiting for this interview, and through their own performance, they were favored by the high-level alchemists and became their apprentices.
There are only two rooms in the lobby on the first floor, and since the room on the right is used for interviews, there are only a few people on the left......
I made a mistake, and when I saw that there were many people on the right, I stood on the right, who knew that the apprentice still needed an interview......
Vickers suddenly figured out that the room on the left was the assessment!
Even if he knew, it was too late, and the six sharp gazes had already surrounded him.
"You're not here for an interview, are you here to make trouble?" asked the old minotaur named Kavolaga, with a strange expression.
Vickers immediately shook his head and hurriedly said, "I'm here to register." ”
Kavolaga was suddenly deflated, his face sank, and his eyes darkened, as if he had been hit.
The troll returned to his original position, and his face was not good-looking.
Vickers didn't know why they were like this, he was just a kid who had gone to the wrong door, and he was helpless.
"Hahahaha!" The human boy sitting next to him smiled after hearing Vickers's answer, "Old man, your picky temperament is unmatched, you have never had any apprentices in your life, and today I finally met a good seedling but has already worshiped others." Hahahaha!"
The human youth pressed his head and rebuked, "Master Cavolaga is your elder, you should be respectful. ”
"It's not that your female apprentice was negligent in her duties and let him in without telling the child clearly. The pressed head laughed.
"Also, these days are the days when freshmen are looking for side teachers, I don't know how many cats and dogs have mixed into the college, thinking about learning our technology, so we have countless guys who want to try it every day for interviews, and the front desk is numb. The middle-aged blood elf man said in a deep voice.
The old human man, who had never spoken, also moved, and he sighed, "The door of the academy is really getting wider and wider. ”
Listening to these words, Vickers watched with apologetic eyes as the tall minotaur old man silently walked back to his seat, and disappointment pervaded.
"May I ask you to learn from?" said the human youth again.
"Catimos Purdue. Vickers told him truthfully that Catimos had told him that his identity as his apprentice did not need to be concealed.
The six of them looked at each other again, and then showed the same expressions as before.
Seeing this scene, Vickers became more and more curious about the connection between Catimos and the Dawnbreaker, who he admired, seemed to have a close relationship with the teacher, is it a coincidence?
"You are sure to come here to register, it means that you have the ability to obtain the qualification of a novice-level alchemist, I want to ask one more thing, how long did it take you to succeed in your first attempt at alchemy?" the human youth asked.
Wix thought for a second, then said, "One day." ”
To be exact, Wickers only took an afternoon and an evening, and he counted this morning as well.
"How many days has it taken the young master?" the young man turned his head to look at the human elder.
"One day. ”
The examiners ...... Uh, no, the interviewers were even more surprised, the child in front of them could have the same talent as the little master in their mouth.
The young man groaned, and then said, "Okay, don't waste your time, the assessment you need to take is on the other side, go ahead." ”
Vickers bowed politely, then turned and took a step to walk out, but was suddenly stopped by a loud voice.
"Wait! I'll take you myself. "I don't know when, the old man of the minotaur has already come to Vickers's side and walked out first.
It was all so crisp, Vickers had no choice but to follow, and as soon as he closed the door, he heard the young man's teasing voice leaking out of the crack in the door that was about to close:
"Rob the apprentice!"
This made Kavolaga's aging but still strong body pause, and the unwillingness in his heart became more and more intense, he definitely wouldn't really do it, but the boy's joke inadvertently affected him.
Because he was led behind by Cavoraga, the long queue outside the door cast envious glances one by one, thinking that Vickers was another lucky person who had found an alchemy teacher who was willing to teach knowledge.
As Vix followed Cavoraga into the opposite room, their gaze gradually changed from envy to surprise.
An couldn't help but open her mouth wide, and watched Vickers enter the room in disbelief, exclaiming in her heart: "Can you go to the assessment just after entering the master's door!"
"Do you have a letter of recommendation from Catimos? If there is a letter of recommendation from an alchemist above the master level, you can be exempted from the test if you officially become a novice-level alchemist. Kavalaga asked, glancing at Vickers.
Vickers shook his head. Why didn't the teacher give it to me?
It had been a long time since Kavolaga had stepped into the alchemy master, and he instantly understood Vickers's doubts, he snorted coldly and said, "He really values you, and he has to let you do it more." ”
Such unkind words came to his ears, and Vickers vaguely guessed that Cavolaga knew the teacher, and it seemed that he didn't like him very much. Vickers thought about it for a while, and understood the reason why Catimos didn't give him a letter of recommendation, he wanted to give himself more experience.
"After you complete the assessment, I will take you to receive the alchemist's badge, the badge engraved at the headquarters has always been the most authoritative. If someone had to choose between two alchemists of the same rank, he would definitely choose the alchemist who had completed the assessment at the headquarters. ”
Now it was Vickers' turn to be surprised, "Excuse me, this is the headquarters?"
"Catimos didn't tell you?"
"Teacher, he never explained anything to me in detail......" Vickers said helplessly.
"That's right, that kid was a weirdo in the first place. Kavolaga whispered to himself.
As soon as he entered the real assessment room, Vickers smelled a few familiar smells, and when he saw that there was not a long table in the center of the room, but the most basic alchemy table. Eyes followed the taste, and a wooden shelf was placed next to the alchemy table, on which were several baskets, each filled with several different alchemy materials.
"Huh, Master Cavolaga, you've finally received your apprentice, congratulations!" the unmotivated staff member outside the door walked in and bowed to Cavolaga.
Cavolaga frowned and glared at the young staff member, his body shuddered with a sharp look.
Glancing at Vickers, the staff seemed to sense that they had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly went out and closed the door gently. Originally, he was in charge of the assessment, but the atmosphere was obviously wrong......
"I'll take care of your assessment," Kavolaga pulled out a yellowed piece of paper out of thin air and placed it on the alchemy table, "This is your exam question, let's get started." ”
Vickers looked at the first line of the recipe with a sense of awe, the confidence he had been a few minutes earlier.
He muttered in his heart: "First-order mana recovery potion ......"
