Chapter 45 – Testing

"Jingle bell—"

Zhu Biao jumped down with the door of the car, looked up, and saw a skyscraper in the west, a forest of reinforced concrete reaching into the sky, and the smoke from the factory only wrapped around the waist of the building, just like the sky/earth.

There are also high-rise buildings in the east city, which are much more plain than the high-rise buildings in the west city, and the exterior walls are not inlaid with reflective glass plates, but directly bare/exposed gray cement, perhaps mixed with some crystal sand, and the sun shines on the stars, which has a unique charm.

The inner city under the high-rise buildings is open and open, Zhu Biao gets off at the five crossings of the fifth ring near the fourth ring, walks out of the station, only to see the road extending in all directions, the pedestrians flow endlessly, the houses on the left and right are all white walls and green tiles, the highest is only two floors and three floors, the splendid characters of the pavilion are full of Chu, a prosperous scene.

It's just that the sense of time and space is very confused......

Zhu Biao stood in front of a huge glass window, witnessing a pair of beautiful women wearing short jackets and eight-treasure tassel horse face skirts passing by with a smile, behind them was a handsome man wearing a wide robe and big sleeves wearing a pure yang scarf, and across the street there was another scholar wearing a round-necked shirt, with short hair on his head, but a seven-star Longquan sword hanging from his waist......

"......" Zhu Biao turned his head with the throbbing forehead, looked at the men's deep clothes and women's real red jackets and red skirts in the window, was in a daze, and silently turned around and walked away.

It seems that it is not the Xu family that is maverick, but that the people of Beijing love retro, and the national costume is just fashionable.

Zhu Biao quickly got used to it, anyway, no one forced him to follow a retro piece, in addition to enjoying the scenery leisurely when he went out today, he actually had something to do.

He is going to go on a field trip to the "Second Academy of Magic under the First District of the Capital Branch of New Oriental University", referred to as "One District and Two Hospitals".

Good gasp.

…………

……

The first district and the second hospital are located in Wudaokou, and there are many schools nearby, including Capital University of Geosciences, Language University, Mining University, University of Science and Technology, University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, as well as Capital University Medical Center, Qinghua University School of Finance, etc.

By the way, there is also a university for nationalities, it is said that the admission score is extremely caring for ethnic minorities, so Zhu Biao saw people coming and going at the gate of the school from a distance, and there was a beautiful girl outside the door, who turned into a colorful tiger when she entered the door, carrying a mountain-like shopping bag with her mouth and shoulder, and happily spread her feet and ran away.

Zhu Biao: "......"

There should be elves in the University of Nationalities, he thought, he could come and talk to them next time.

But what are you talking about? Ask them if they know Bai Changqi?

Zhu Biao didn't think about it, he bypassed the University of Nationalities from the opposite street, walked for more than ten minutes, crossed two alleys, and finally found the ...... of the first district and the second courtyard under an ancient locust tree Side.

The door is only one meter wide and two meters high, and it is not locked, and you can see the concrete playground and the teaching college through the false iron fence.

Zhu Biao was originally prejudiced against "New Oriental", but now he muttered even more, looked up at the old locust tree with a thick shade, thought about it, and shouted: "Hello, is there anyone?" ”

When no one answered, he pushed the door in, walked through the short alley, and repeated.

This time there was a response, and there was a slight noise coming from the brick house on the left side of the alleyway, and the closed window was lifted upwards to reveal a face.

"Someone, what are you going to do?"

It was an old man with glasses, his temples and eyebrows were gray, but there were no spots on his skin, and there were few wrinkles, he looked clean, and his expressionless made people think he was very kind.

"Hello teacher," Zhu Biao hurriedly bowed, "I want to study in our school, so come and have a look first." ”

"Hmm," the old man looked him up and down, seeing that he was polite and smart, and he had a good impression first, "Have you taken the exam?" ”

Zhu Biao had already prepared this question before he came, so he pretended to be embarrassed at the moment, and looked down at his toes, "No, I'm from District 11, and the quality of teaching there is poor, and we didn't do well in the college entrance examination......

Yes, Daming's education system also has a college entrance examination, the full name of which is the National Unified Examination for Admissions to Ordinary Colleges and Universities.

The old man was a little disappointed with his answer, but he was not strict, in the final analysis, talent is the priority of learning magic, and the magic department of a comprehensive university has strict requirements for the cultural courses of new students, and a pure magic academy like the first district and the second academy can independently recruit students with outstanding talents.

"Do you see that school building? Go in and turn left, room 103, and tell the people inside that I asked you to test your magic talent. ”

Zhu Biao took two steps forward as he said, and then came back to thank him, but the old man nodded, and pulled down the partition neatly with a "bang".

...... "Well, I've heard that magicians have more personalities.

He walked briskly to the gray and dilapidated school building, the outside was not even □□ painted, and a large piece of cement had fallen off, revealing the green bricks underneath, and weeds had grown in the cracks of the bricks.

Zhu Biao was embarrassed to pull off the dog's tail grass, pinched it in his hand and walked into room 103, and asked, "Is anyone there?" ”

In the dark and damp office, there was only a desk and a rattan chair, on which sat a chubby middle-aged man, with his head bowed and his mouth pursed, concentrating...... Knit sweaters.

"What's it called?" The middle-aged man scolded without raising his head, "I didn't see that I was busy." ”

He carefully pinched the needle and thread with his swollen carrot-like fingers, and did not dare to take a breath, but tremblingly circled and circled again, and gathered in......

"The teacher at the door asked me to come," Zhu Biao said again, "to test the magical talent." ”

The needle is in the wrong direction! The middle-aged man was furious, he refused to admit that his hands were shaking badly, and he blamed Zhu Biao, it was all this kid, causing him to be distracted at the most important moment!

He dropped the needle and thread with a "whew", looked up and glared at Zhu Biao, and saw that he was still dragging a dog's tail grass in his hand, shaking it locally, and he didn't look humble about studying at all, and his heart felt even more disgusted.

The middle-aged man dug under the table a few times, pulled out a piece of paper and a pen, threw it to Zhu Biao, and said, "Fill out the form, and then go to the next door to get on the machine." ”

Zhu Biao glanced down at the table, and found that it was a little familiar, and when he looked at it again, the first column at the beginning was: name, age, and magic he had learned...... Isn't that the problem that Olivia wrote down in the little notebook?

However, this is also basic information, and it is normal for the school to collect it, so although Zhu Biao has a little ominous premonition, he still fills it in according to the actual situation.

He put down his pen, gently pushed the form to the middle-aged man, and turned around and walked into another adjoining room on his own.
