038 Magical World
"What did you see in the left room just now?"
"I didn't seem to have anything special, just a river and a bridge, and I walked straight over and passed without any obstacles. I don't have any clue what the exam question is. β
"Well, what are you asking? Are there any other references around the bridge? I didn't pay attention. As far as the eye can see, there is a vast grassland stretching to the end, and there is only a bridge around it, and that's it. β
"The same goes for the right house. β
"After the parchment was thrown into the brazier, nothing happened, and I stood there and waited for a while before I was sent out. I always feel like it's over without an experience. A little disappointed what's going on. Ha. β
There was no need for Hodden to ask in detail, Ariel said it all in one go, like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, which made Hodden further confirm two things:
First, the red flame is not 100% present, and second, if he is facing a bridge and a river, the reflex must be to look around, not to cross the bridge directly.
This also confirmed Holden's suspicion that every move in the left and right rooms, including the subconscious, the brain and the physical reactions, are all clues, according to a specific law, leading candidates to different houses, and even the results of the first round of tests in the left room are part of the exam.
It's definitely not that simple.
Hodden couldn't help but wonder what heights they could reach in the age of psionics.
When she stepped into the main auditorium, Ariel's voice faded out automatically, one second she was still dancing happily, and the next second she refused to speak like a closed mussel, her slightly stiff body language revealed a little uneasiness and anxiety, and the whole person was quiet.
But even Holden has to admit that the magnificent architectural space in front of him and the surging crowd of people do have a powerful visual shocking effect.
Previously, you could feel the majesty of the main auditorium when you stood outside, but when you entered the room, you could really feel it:
The deep ceiling is like a sky, and the presence of the roof is completely imperceptible, the golden sun and the blue sky seem to seamlessly connect with the vastness of natureβthe weather is even better than the abyss, and the bustling crowd is black, and thousands of figures still can't fill the entire space, making everyone feel their own insignificance and humility in an instant.
At the entrance, above the head, there are four banners of different colors, red, green, purple and blue, representing the four different colleges.
"Do you need me to come along?" said Hoden, visibly sensing Ariel's nervousness, and offered to help amicably.
"......" Ariel's eyes lit up, and she was about to nod her head in agreement, but the words had already reached her lips, but she still let out a long breath.
"No, no. I still need to learn to be independent. What's more, St. Spade's College is a group of friendly and lovely people, and I can do that. After saying that, she clenched her fists again, puffed out her cheeks, and cheered herself on, "Well, I can definitely do it!"
A smile appeared in Holden's eyes, "If you can be friends, it is a kind of luck, if you can't be friends, then there is no regret." There is no need to push yourself. With that, Horden gestured to Ariel's jaw, and left without looking back.
Ariel stood there and pondered for a while, then gradually reacted, and shouted towards the back of Hodden leaving, "Nice to meet you." β
But Holden's figure was already drowned in the crowd and did not respond.
Ariel didn't stop any longer, turning and walking in the direction of St. Spade's College.
......
Hoden was staring intently at the hands in front of him:
The slender and white fingertips waved above the black card, the surface of the card comparable to the mirror reflected the elegant curve of the finger's flexible movement, the bright purple slender lines moved smoothly along the fingers and walked, on the palm-sized card, the light or dark purple lines gradually increased, and an image outline gradually emerged.
It was the image of a flapping eagle, somewhat similar to the double-headed eagle emblem of the Leia Empire, which made Hoden naturally remind:
Over the years, it is true that more members of the royal family of the Leia Empire have come from St. Crion's Academy, but the Secepes Academy is much older than the Empire, and it is impossible to determine whether there is a connection, perhaps just an interesting coincidence.
After the whole pattern was drawn, the sophomore in front of him flipped the card over and pointed to the Holy Grail pattern that had been depicted before, "Now, inject spiritual energy into it, and this will become your unique student ID." β
Hodden keenly caught the clue, "Is everyone's psionic ability different?"
The sophomore student showed a look of surprise, "At present, this is still an uncertain field, but it is true that some psionics believe that each person's psionic energy has its own unique identity, because everyone's attributes, characteristics, personality, and use of psionic energy are different, and the energy that is finally presented will inevitably leave these traces." β
"However, there is still controversy about this statement, there are both supporters and opponents, and I belong to the supportive group. Our college has a regular debate competition every month, including the type of confrontation between the pros and cons, as well as the type of discussion in which the whole audience expresses their opinions and participates in the discussion, and this year it should cover related topics. If you are interested, you can also come and participate. β
Just by first meeting, you can feel the unique style of St. Crayon's College.
Hodden pointed to his student ID again.
Only then did the sophomore react, "What I said is unique, in addition to the attributes of the psionic energy itself, there is also your name and the time of enrollment. Now you can't see it on the card, but when you inject the psionic energy, the underside of the Holy Grail will be visible. β
It dawned on Holden.
But Hoden was a little clumsy, unsure how he should inject psionic energy, could it be a snap of his fingers on the spot?
The sophomore seemed to see it at a glance, and he took the initiative to smile and explain, "Just touch the card with your fingertips, concentrate, and use your psionic energy." This student ID card is also a small energy storage card, but the storage energy is too small for the enlightener to use. β
Energy storage card?
It's a whole new term.
Hodden touched the card, focused, and then he could see the card's chalice glow slightly, purple halo surging like a streamer, and a line of font appeared below, "Holden-Herlo, 1031." β
"Perfect! β
"Next, here's the list of courses, which is marked with the latest submission time, here's the freshman admission manual, here's the basic introduction to the psyker's career, here's the list of required textbooks, and as for the electives, it's up to the professors to set it up, and here's the list of the main activities of our college this semester. β
"By the way, finally, with my student ID, I went to the warehouse to pick up my school uniform. Every student is required to wear a school uniform to ensure that all students are equal and that privileged behaviour is not allowed. β
