Chapter 9 Admissions at Kenston College
Mogar hooked his hand around the shoulders of Ix, who was a head shorter than him, touched his head, and walked downstairs to the dining room. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At the dinner table, the four people who had just finished eating were chatting, and Sparky took out a yellow piece of paper and looked at it.
Sparker Alexander, 59 years old, about 1.9 meters tall, burly, with short silver hair and a resolute face, looks about 30 years old, came to live in Macente Village with his wife and two brothers two years ago.
After reading it, Sparker put the paper on the dining table, and Mojall picked it up curiously and looked at it: "Kenston College admissions, is that Kenston?"
"That's right, it's the Kenston School of Magic, one of the four famous colleges in the mainland. The continent admits 120 people every year, and as far as I know, 20 of these 120 places are special places.
And only at the city level to open enrollment points, this is the enrollment point located in Pero City, Pero City is the closest small city to the village of Meicente, so the first to receive the enrollment notice of Pero City, may also receive enrollment notices from other towns.
This enrollment notice has been coming for several days, and it fell under the table, and it was found by your Aunt Arya when she was cleaning, but I didn't expect the admissions notice from Kenston College to come so late this year. ”
Kenston School of Magic, one of the four most famous and mysterious colleges in the continent, the only one located in the East Continent, the East Continent east of the Warcraft Mountain Range recruits new students in October every year, and ordinary people from the West Continent through the edge of the Warcraft Mountain Range to the West Continent even if they take the carriage the fastest for half a year, so the West Continent recruits new students in March every year.
"120, that's a lot," Ix said with a hiccup.
"Much, little guy, do you know how many people there are in the whole continent?" Sparker said with a smile as he reached out his big hand and touched Ix's head, and Eks shook his head, not knowing whether it was struggling with Spark's big hand or saying he didn't know.
"I don't know, how many of them?" said Uncle Sparkle," said Mogar.
"In the case of the Grant Empire, the population is over 3 billion. For example, the population of the Demacian Empire is more than 5 billion, the four major empires and five kingdoms of the Aixia Continent and 13 chaotic principalities, and then some areas without the jurisdiction of the empire, the total number of people you can't imagine at all.
Of course, 120 places are impossible to choose from the entire population, and if you look at the contents of that admissions notice, not only Kenston College, but also the other three colleges, only from 6 to 8 years old.
Because our human race begins to show elemental affinity and soul index from the age of 6, and after the age of 8, it is basically impossible to blank the test, so only children of this age are enrolled. ”
At this time, Ix's voice appeared again, "What is elemental affinity, and what is the soul index?" Ix's voice appeared again, and he tapped the table with one hand, and asked boredly.
"I know, I know, elemental affinity is a sign of becoming a magician, elemental affinity is innate, but not everyone has it, among ordinary people, there is probably one in every 10,000 people who have elemental affinity, and only the descendants of magicians or warriors have a relatively high probability of having elemental affinity.
And the soul index is that everyone has it, but the soul index of ordinary people is very low, and the level of the soul index is the key to becoming a magician. Mojar said excitedly.
Sparker glanced at Mogar in some surprise, "That's right, to put it simply, not only do you have elemental affinity, but your soul index must be at least 5 times higher than that of ordinary peers to become a magician, and you only have elemental affinity, but if your soul index is not enough, you can only become a warrior." You must know that mages of the same level generally suppress warriors. Little Mo, this is what your Grandpa Lake taught you?"
"No, these are what I read from the old man's yellowed books. ”
"Oh, what you saw in the book?" Sparker was surprised again, and thought to himself, "I know that this old lake is not simple, it is too ordinary, and now it seems that how can an ordinary old man have the ability to collect such books at home." ”
"Of course, if there is no elemental affinity, it is still possible to become a warrior, that is, pure body forging, the reason why the number of warriors is much larger than that of magicians, because there are many warriors who are forging body warriors, and forging body warriors account for the majority in the army. Sparker added.
"Uncle Spark, what are the requirements to get into Kenston College?"
"Talent!As long as you have a terrifying talent, you can enter Kenston Academy, the minimum threshold for entering Kenston Academy is to have a high-level affinity and 15 times the soul index, and there may not be one out of tens of millions of people, do you think you have a chance?"
"This joke is so cold! If I had this talent, my father would have sent me to Kenston College." ”
"There are no more than 20 special places, find your uncle, and say a few good words, he will definitely send you to Kenston College!"
"Forget it, I know that kind of spot comes at a big cost, and I can't afford to waste it. Uncle Spark, isn't it true that you can't become a mage or a warrior without elemental affinity after the 8-year-old test?"
"Well, the forging warrior is those who are not talented enough, through continuous training to strengthen the body, only with physical strength can match the same level of warriors who use combat qi, and may even be stronger than the same level of warriors, but the forging warrior is extremely difficult every level of promotion, the sixth level of the forging warrior is a limit, throughout history, no forging warrior has broken through to the threshold of the seventh level with the body.
It's not that you can't become a magician or a warrior after the age of 8, what I just said is that the elemental affinity and soul index are hidden after the age of 8, and they don't disappear, but it's hard to be discovered, and ordinary methods can't be tested, only some special methods can be measured. And the cost of these test methods is so expensive that even some minor aristocrats cannot afford it. ”
"But the admissions tests for the four major academies are free, so for most ordinary people, the annual admissions test is the only chance to know if they can become a magician or a warrior.
And once it is tested that he has an elemental affinity, even if he can't be admitted to the four famous academies, he can be recruited by many big families or royal families by virtue of being able to become a warrior, and then maybe he can use this to make a splash and be knighted. Sparker suddenly stared at Mogar and continued.
"Oh, so there is still this kind of benefit, it says October 30th, isn't it just two months later?" Mo Jiaer suddenly became calm and asked lightly.
Looking at Mo Jiaer's plain appearance, Spark's slightly frowning brows quietly eased, and he looked away and said with emotion: "Yes, it should have been sent at the beginning of last year, in addition to the Thunder Festival and the founding day of the Grant Empire every year, it is the most lively enrollment day of the four major colleges, and the flow of people in each big city is even more crowded than the flow of people in the two festivals, I think it was at the beginning..."
When Sparky fell into his own memories, Mojal didn't know what to think, suddenly fell silent, put down the enrollment notice in his hand, took a green apple, waved at Ix, interrupted Spark's thoughts, "Uncle Spark, I'm going to find Uncle James." ”
