Chapter 30: The Magic Knight
Eva stood in the crowd in a daze, her ears couldn't hear anything, her head was muddy, her eyes were foggy, she really couldn't face all this, and entering the Odin Academy of Magic was her only hope. At this moment, that hope was dashed. The god of fate played a big joke on her.
At this time, it was Trunkie's turn to conduct a grade test, she skipped the magic light ball in front of her, and directly said in front of the water magic light ball, with a look of pride and confidence, and put her hand up. The magister was hoarse and shouted with a little trembling: "The sixth order of the water system." "The magic level is one grade higher than Angela, and everyone is boiling. But none of this seems to have anything to do with Eva, her world is full of darkness, and she is the only one standing alone in the darkness, with no direction.
"Sister Eva, Sister Eva... Angela called several times, but Eva was as stupid as she didn't respond. Angela tugged hard at Eva's magic robe, and Eva came to her senses, looked at Angela, and smiled awkwardly.
"Sister, don't worry, I'll go find the dean!"
"No need, I don't have magic attributes, I can't practice magic, even if I ask the dean to forcibly stay in the magic academy, it's useless. ”
"Oh, isn't this a wild girl who wants to challenge Hayao Miyazaki? You still have the courage, you haven't forgotten the one-year appointment!" Bugatti didn't know when he came over, and he sneered strangely.
Angela and Eva were in no mood to argue with them at the moment, and in the midst of a group of contemptuous eyes and ridicule, she dragged Eva out of the crowd.
When I came to the dean's chair, the dean, the vice president, the branch dean, and the deacons and elders were all there.
"Uncle Dean, Eva doesn't have innate magic attributes, you can help!" Angela was a little coquettish, a little pleading.
"Leave the school without magical attributes, it's for her good!" said one of the branch heads.
The dean smiled and said, "I think this Eva girl should stay!" The dean has always been very strict with the admission of students in the academy, except for the descendants of the magisters who can have privileges, and people from outside, even if they have a big background, they can't enter the academy if they can't pass the assessment.
Once the prince of the Ona Empire wanted to enter the Odin Academy of Magic to study, but his innate magic attribute was the second level, and the king and queen of the Ona Empire wrote a letter asking the dean to be accommodating and promising a huge sponsorship fee to the Odin Academy of Magic. But it was still vetoed by the dean. The king of the Ona Empire was very cruel, threatened to pacify the Academy of Magic, and sent a national teacher to the school to make trouble, and was seriously injured by the dean himself, so the matter was stopped. Today, the dean actually took the initiative to leave a student who did not have innate magic attributes, which is really rare. Eva and Angela listened, and their hearts were touched.
A vice dean was a little excited: "Dean, we won't accept anything less than the third order, this girl has no magic attributes, which branch is willing to take her in? Even if she is taken in, she has no way to cultivate magic." ”
"Hehe, she doesn't have to practice magic to stay in the academy, she can be a magic knight. The dean smiled slightly, and said lightly.
"The entrance exam for the Magic Knight has ended this morning. The Vice Dean reminded the Dean.
"Then let's try!" everyone was speechless, it seemed that Angela's face was really big. The dean actually arranged an additional test for the knight assessment of the Odin Academy of Magic for an ordinary disciple! Angela was naturally happy to hear this.
Eva asked, "What is a magic knight?"
Angela explained: "The strength of magicians depends on the strength of their soul mind, but the stronger the spirit of magicians, the weaker their body will be, this is not a law, but a common sense that everyone has summed up. Almost every mage knows this truth, mages are best at long-distance combat, melee combat is very bad for them, therefore, many mages will hire magic knights as their guards, most of the magic knights do not know magic, or magic cannot enter the realm, only simple basic magic, but they are very good at physical and good at melee combat. Powerful magicians, their bodies are inferior to even ordinary people. Must be protected by a Magic Knight. "Having grown up in the jungle, Eva hunts for a living, is agile and has a lot of strength, making her the perfect candidate for a magical knight.
Eva seemed to see the light again: "Can a magic knight defeat a powerful magician?"
"This... This one... Angela was a little speechless, she didn't want to fight Eva.
A deacon magister was a little impatient, and looked at Eva with a bit of annoyance: "Defeat the magician? Magic knights have a very low status no matter how they cultivate, if they are at a distance, a magician can kill hundreds of magic knights in an instant." After all, there is a bottleneck in the exercise of the body, and it can never surpass the powerful force of nature. The strongest magic knights are also afraid of magic apprentices. The deacon magister was very dissatisfied with the green light given by the dean, and he dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and his words were completely merciless.
It was like pouring cold water on Eva. But she was naturally stubborn, Eva shook her head and said, "Okay, I'll be a magic knight!" Even if God seals all her paths, she has to fight a bloody way, she can give up herself, but she can't give up Chaburo and the people, and she can't give up Grandpa Eton.
"Sister, don't listen to that person's nonsense, magic knights are not so weak, many magicians were killed by magic knights, they are not as vulnerable as you think. Magic Knights are divided into Arrow Knights, Force Knights, and Min Knights according to their physical skills. Arrow Knight is good at long-range attacks, and mostly uses bows, crossbows, and throwing knives as weapons, and is a deadly nemesis for mages. The Knights of Power are all physically strong, have extraordinary strength, and often use axes and hammers as weapons, and are important generals in the armies of various countries. Min knights are on the weak side, but they are agile, quick to react, and often use swords and spears as weapons, they can not only serve the magician, but also serve the king as a personal bodyguard. Although the magic knights are all accessories of the magician, they are also the nemesis of the magician. Sister, you are thin and small, and you can become an excellent Min Knight. ”
"Sister, don't worry, I have confidence that I won't give up on myself. Eva said this to Angela, and she was also encouraging herself.
The dean praised Eva's character very much, and coughed: "Each of the twelve academies of the Odin School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has a special knight class, if she wants, Eva can go to the knight class to participate in the assessment, and if she passes the test, she is expected to become an excellent knight." ”
After the dean finished speaking, he instructed a deacon magister to lead Eva to the knight entrance trial ground, the knight class and the magic apprentice are recruited at the same time, and those who know that they can't practice magic will take the initiative to go to the knight class. The knight class has a small number of people, about three or four hundred, divided into twelve branches, and there are at most thirty magic knights in one branch.
Eva was taken to another proving ground, and Angela followed.
There aren't that many students here, but they're all strong and huge. There are small people like Eva, but not many. There aren't as many students here as there are magic students. They had already finished their assessments, and they were gathered here just to wait for news.
Magic Knight needs to pass six tests, each of the six tests is worth 100 points, for a total of 600 points, and the total score is more than 360 points to be admitted. There is a bulletin board next to the trial ground, and there are rules for entrance exams on the bulletin board.
The six tests are:
100-meter run, test explosiveness, 9.58 seconds for 100 minutes, 12.45 seconds for 0 minutes;
100 km run, test endurance, 131.96 seconds for 100 minutes, 171.5 seconds for 0 minutes;
Standing long jump, testing leg and waist strength, 3.476 meters for 100 points, 2.433 meters for 0 points;
Throwing, which tests arm and waist strength, the test content is spear throwing, 98.48 meters is 100 points, 68.93 meters is 0 points;
Snatch, which tests the strength of the whole body, 100 points for 264 kg, 0 points for 184.8 kg;
Bow and arrow shooting, test aiming and eyes, 100 meters distance, the target has ten rings, the arrow has ten, and the total number of rings is the total score.
The assessment has long been completed here, and the instructors in charge of the assessment are sorting out the transcripts and assigning the knights to the academies. The Deacon Magister arrives, explains the situation, arranges for the Knight Mentor to conduct a separate assessment for Eva, and then the Deacon Magister leaves, he is not interested in the situation of the Knight Class. These mentors are all knight mentors, knights themselves, and it is a matter of course to be looked down upon by magicians, and they don't care at all.
All six tests were completed, and Eva's results were: 100-meter run, 1,000-meter record, jump, throw, snatch 60 points, bow and arrow shooting! A total of 540 points, the first freshman in the first place. The knight instructors were stunned, what kind of system is this? It is said that every knight has a specialty, and Eva is almost omnipotent. She can at least double cultivate as an Arrow Knight and a Min Knight.
The news quickly spread to the dean, and Eva, who was eliminated by the magic school, turned out to be a hot commodity when she transferred to the knight class, and for a time all the branches came to snatch Eva. Whether it is a magic apprentice or a magic knight, the students who enter the school have advantages and disadvantages, and in order to avoid the competition of the twelve academies, they are all distributed by grabbing paper balls. Apprentices are assigned to whichever academy they catch, and only the top three cadets are eligible to choose their own cadets freely. Eva is the first freshman in the knight class, so she is naturally qualified to choose which branch to go to. Each branch also has a ranking, and students are naturally willing to choose the branch with the top ranking in the knight class.
As an excellent magic knight, he may become a pillar of a great country, and become a pivotal figure in the division of power, sometimes power is more important than ability, whether it is a magician or a magic knight, the best disciples are highly valued. Eva became a rising star in Odin's Academy of Magic and Magic.
