Chapter 28 College Admissions
"Going to school ???"
Even Doro, who was always calm, showed a surprised look.
Elsie was surprised when she heard this, and she had a little expectation, these three months of running and fleeing was like a nightmare that she could never wake up from, once upon a time, she hated going to the academy the most, and now she actually felt that a peaceful school life was a luxury.
Maybe... Maybe the demons won't appear here, so far away, and this empire is so powerful, almost all over the plains, maybe even the demons can't invade, can we live a normal life here... Elsie's mind was already tumbling, but there was no doubt that she hoped that Doro would agree to take a look.
Thinking of this, Elsie secretly glanced at Doro, who lowered his eyes, looking like he was thinking about it, and didn't say anything for a long time.
Elsie's fingers tightened and tightened, and Banner seemed to think that his idea was good, and said in an excited tone: "Really! Not to mention anything else, Doro's talent and strength, the top academy in Colonor City can almost be said to be up to you." β
"Elsie, what do you think? Doro asked suddenly.
"Of course I amβ" Elsie blurted out, and after a moment felt inappropriate, "I think we can go and see, and Lily can go together." β
Lily said a little shyly: "I haven't been to the academy yet, will I be a little old?" β
Banner smiled and waved his hand: "Colono's college of higher learning recruits students every year, children aged 12 to 17 years old can be, after entering, the college will divide the class according to age group and strength, but if you have the idea of learning, the earlier you enroll, the better." β
Doro nodded when he heard the two of them's answer, but Elsie saw that he didn't care very much, and only agreed because they wanted to go, she was a little strange, didn't Doro miss his life in the academy?
"However, Dylan has graduated, what will he do after that? Elsie looked at Dylan who was standing aside in a daze, exactly like two people before, and Elsie didn't know if he knew that everyone was talking about him now.
Banner seemed to have anticipated this question for a long time, and hurriedly spoke: "Brother Dylan, although he lives here, don't worry, I will never make any demands on him, I just need him to train my players under a little guidance here." β
"But Dylan doesn't like to talk, how can he help you. Elsie was a little worried.
Banner smiled mysteriously, "I have a way." β
......
For the next two days, the group stayed at Banner's house. After forming the honeysuckle team, Banner apparently remodeled his house, removing excess furniture from each spare room and arranging multiple beds to accommodate twenty team members, and Elsie and Lily went to live with Shanna. The other two live together.
Some of the players who went home before came back in the evening, and the rest arrived on time the next morning, Banner really didn't need Dylan's verbal instruction, he directly arranged for his players to play against Dylan.
Dylan didn't have anything to guide the battle, he just remembered to save some hands and not to kill, just two days later, Dylan successfully replaced Doro's position in the hearts of the team, and became an expressionless and murderous big devil image circulating among the team.
Dylan himself obviously didn't have this awareness, but when Elsie watched in the corridor under the eaves, he was frightened when he watched the players being beaten to death and crying wolf, and he was thinking about whether to persuade Dylan to beat lightly several times. Banner is very satisfied with this result, Dylan has a lot of combat experience, there is no emotional consideration, although the team members are beaten up and down every day, but obviously they jump a lot faster.
Two days passed quickly, today is March 3rd, the moment Elsie woke up in the morning, she quickly got up to wash, she has been looking forward to this day for a long time.
When she went out to wash, she saw that Doro was already training, and she always didn't know how early Doro woke up, and several members of the team who got up early were watching him under the eaves, trying to learn a few tricks.
At breakfast, they were all in the same room, Dylan stayed here for the time being, and after Banner had to urge everyone to train, Shanna generally didn't participate, so he called Shanna to lead a few people over.
Along the way, Elsie and Lily were both excited and curious to the naked eye, and the only Doro was quiet all the way, and Shanna boldly complained about him: "Except for your face, I really don't feel like you are an underage child." β
After a while, Lina stopped and chuckled back: "It's here, this is where all the colleges and students of Colonor City Admissions Day gatherβthe Temple of Truth." β
Elsie said as she opened her finger and looked over to see a huge white building with a semicircular dome and pure white throughout, with only golden streaks carved on the side of the gate and glass windows.
Countless teenagers and girls walked through the entrance of the building, many children were next to the adults who were traveling with them, and the faces of the people who entered were full of anticipation and apprehension, and the expressions of the people who came out were much richer.
Following Shanna inside, Elsie found that the space inside was much larger than the perimeter, looking up at the huge dome, and the limit of her eyesight could also see that the inside of the dome was full of colorful pictures, her surprised and puzzled expression Shanna could see it at a glance, and she explained loudly: "The Temple of Truth has carved a space circle, so it is even more expansive inside. β
As for why he explained it loudly, the reason was because there were so many people gathered here, and countless people were hustling here, so that after walking for two minutes, Elsie hadn't been able to see a college for admissions, there were many noisy people, there were quarrels and crying and laughter, and Elsie felt as if he had entered the battlefield in a trance.
Finally found a relatively secluded corner, Shanna motioned for a few people to approach her: "I understand your strength, I personally recommend that Doro go directly to the number one academy in Colono, they only accept excellent children, Lily and Elsie can go to the academy with a lot of people in line, and there are many people who report that the academy is not too bad." Shanna was blunt, but she knew that she wasn't really good, and going to those top-ranked colleges was a blow to her self-esteem.
Elsie was a little disappointed, but Lily had always been very open-minded, and she immediately grabbed Elsie's arm: "Let's go Elsie! Elsie looked at Doro, who nodded, and Lily quickly pulled Elsie away, and Doro looked at their backs and didn't know what to think.
"Doro, there are many Cronno colleges, among which the top colleges are Ophes, St. Rini, and Kastan, which are basically stable in the top three every year, but their internal positions will also fluctuate up and down, I won't introduce the academy itself, you can find out for yourself and choose what you like. Shanna explained.
"Hmm. Doro looked around, "How do they assess students?"
"Woe!" Shanna slapped her head, "I just forgot to tell those two." Forget it, there will naturally be admissions officers who will tell them. They have special test items, so you just have to follow their instructions when the time comes. β
"Okay", Shanna patted Doro on the shoulder: "Go ahead, the three of them are generally not far away, they are all in the depths of the main hall, and you will see it if you keep walking inside." You and I are the least worried, good luck! I'm going to look for those two little ghosts. β
Doro nodded, turned and walked in the direction she was pointing.
It's really a big place, and along the way, Doro has seen a lot of all kinds of admissions colleges, some of them are hoarse and shouting for people to apply, and some are leisurely, quietly waiting for people to ask.
Before Dora knew it, he had gone to the depths, and instead of decreasing, more and more people were coming together.
He avoided and walked in, and saw three courtyards standing on three legs, and there were long queues in front of each courtyard, the main color of the leftmost part of the three courtyards was a red color, and when he looked up, the emblem in the center was a cluster of symmetrical red crystal columns, surrounded by a circle of burning flames, and below the emblem was the Orpheus Academy with a capital letter.
In the middle, there is a long green propaganda ribbon hanging above the admissions courtyard, and the central emblem is two seven-petal white flowers, extending from the bottom of the flowers, two vines extend to both sides respectively, surrounding the two white flowers, and the name below is Kastan College.
The rightmost color is very holy, mainly gold and white, the school emblem is a golden circle, then a white ring, and the outside is a circle of radial golden ripples, the whole looks like the shape of a sun, and the name of the college is Saint-Rini College.
Doro observed for a moment, then stepped out of the crowd of onlookers and lined up at the end of the line at St. Rini.
There was a commotion in the crowd around, there were a lot of people gathered here, but there were not many people in line, everyone knew the admission standards of these colleges, and if it wasn't for real strength or overconfidence, no one would touch their thresholds.
After Doro calmly lined up, some of them showed envious glances.
"I'm so envious... I also want to go to a top college. β
"Don't be envious too early, even if you dare to sign up, you may not be able to get in. β
"Eh, it's my first time here, are these three colleges of high standard? β
"Of course, didn't you see so many people standing around and only these people lined up?"
......
The undisguised sound of discussion around him reached Doro's ears, and he was not nervous, but a little interested.
The people in front of them all walked into the courtyard one by one, only a few people walked out disappointed, and the others were more or less happy. After a not-so-long wait, it was finally Doro's turn, and the beautiful senior sister guided him to write down his own information, he
After writing the name, he hesitated, and finally did not add Elsie's surname.
The senior sister asked him to put his hand on the crystal ball next to fill in the information, the sphere glowed faintly, and something seemed to be presented inside, and the senior sister stretched out her hand and counted: "1... 2... 3......" After a few moments, she confirmed and wrote 15 in Doro's age column. Then she looked up and smiled sweetly, and reached out to the back, "Please come in." β
Doro walked in, there was a room built up, there were three people in it, all of them didn't look too young, two of them sat there bored and chatted, and the other old man with a brown beard stood in the middle, and when he saw Doro walk in, he walked towards him, and turned around and complained: "You two, you know how to chat, and when I'm done with this, you two will go next." β
He came over and checked Doro's body at random, and then asked him to stand on a raised hexagonal floor tile, the floor tiles were carved with cumbersome lines, Doro obediently did so, the bearded old man held a staff almost taller than him, silently recited the incantation, and gently pointed the tip of the staff on the circle, the lines of the circle were lit up by white light, the light gradually blinded, Doro couldn't help but raise a hand to cover his eyes. He heard the person in front of him suddenly shouting, "Don't talk! Come and see!" Then the three of them chattered excitedly and discussed, and then the person who shouted shouted outside: "Xiaofei, bring the information!"
Doro tentatively lowered his arm, the light had been extinguished, he opened his eyes, and saw the bearded man among the three people holding a piece of paper, and all three of them stared at him greedily, as if they had seen some rare treasure, and muttered something in their mouths: "15... 7...".
Doro coughed and stepped down from the floor tiles, and the three of them seemed to react, "Doro, yes! Come on!" The bearded man rushed up and was about to grab his arm, but Doro avoided without a trace, he was not embarrassed, hehe smiled: "I'm Dusen, don't say anything, there's no turning back when you start work, come to our admissions office, it's our Saint Lini!"
