Chapter 1 Entrance Assessment
A yacht was welcomed at the pier in the city of Tongshino.
The boat, about 60 feet long, was painted in blue and white, with a sweet Mediterranean feel, and a row of letters "Duel-Academy" painted on both sides of the hull to represent its ownership, and several sailors leaning on the dock for lunch looked at it curiously, jokingly guessing with each other what kind of character it would be this time.
"The Fourth Boat...... This time it must be someone from Hakuin. The younger sailor muttered, half of a loaf of bread in his hand, his cheeks bulging, and chewing his food.
"You're wrong, rookie." The older sailor had finished eating, and there were two empty cans on the ground beside him, and he was now leaning against a brown and black stake behind him, basking in the sun.
"This is the ship of the Blue Courtyard."
"Blue Courtyard? How so? The young sailor disagreed, and he stretched out his hand, pointed to the snow-white parts of the ship, and said, "You see, most of its hue is white, and people from other academies have already been here...... I'm still in charge of registering the boat in the Yellow Courtyard, and now that the fourth article is here, isn't it just the White Courtyard? β
"Haha......" The old sailor immediately raised his chin and leaned back with a smile when he heard him say this, "Rookie, you are so funny...... According to your understanding, why is the ship of the Red Courtyard not painted in red? You have also received the people of the Yellow Court, are their ships golden? The people of the Duel Academy are not all mentally retarded and paint their means of transportation like a circus, right? β
"This ......"
The young sailor was speechless, in fact, the few yachts that had previously belonged to the Duel Academy were normal colours, indistinguishable from most of them except for the fact that they looked more high-end in their decoration - of course, since they were all medium-sized luxury yachts. The reason why he made the mistake of common sense and judged the identity of the other party by color was mainly the fault of eating "experience".
"Be active, stupid boy, and don't let your thoughts be swayed by the subconscious...... Haven't you always wanted to be a duelist, if you only have this kind of thinking ability, I'm afraid you won't even be able to get a recommendation letter for the assessment. β
In fact, I really didn't get it...... The young sailor's face darkened when he was said.
"I had the privilege of being involved in the construction of that island a few years ago." The old sailor patted him comfortingly on the shoulder, and continued, "Several of the boats they purchased have hired me to help, you look at those blue lines on the hull, that is the symbol of the academy faction, don't ask why this standard is different from other yachts, it is only the elite students who have received a 1-point evaluation in the third year are eligible to ride, it is the property of the Blue Academy, and even the principal of the Duel Academy has no right to transfer." β
"This ...... Is it so powerful? β
"Of course, that's all I got from the internal staff when I was working there, so don't take ignorance as a treasure anymore, boy, you still have to learn......"
At the moment when the two sailors were chatting, the yacht that had inadvertently become the center of the discussion also officially docked, the stairs were lowered on the boat, and several young men and women wearing blue uniforms on a white background and blue edges walked down, their appearance and temperament are rare even in any well-known university in the world, a blonde girl, a brown-haired youth, a green-haired youth, and a blue-black haired young man who walked in the forefront, and was faintly admired by several people in the first place, these four people left the dock straight after getting off the ship, and seemed to be in a hurry.
"I haven't left the academy for two years, and it's really nostalgic to suddenly return to the city, Liang."
In the middle of several people, the young man with long hair in the army green said, he raised his left hand and looked at his watch: "Twelve forty-three o'clock, the assessment time will not end until three o'clock, and we are still in time." β
"Can you miss this cloudy air too, Yusuke." The brown-haired young man beside him smiled evilly when he heard this, and shoved his fist into the green-haired young man's stomach, "Don't treat us all as if we were squatting at home like you...... Although there is only one thing in the city that is more beautiful than a desert island, but for this kind of beauty, how could Liang and I not come back for two years. β
"Brother Blowing Snow...... Could it be that the good things you are talking about areβ"
"Ahaha, don't be angry, Asuka, my brother is just making an analogy, I promise it's not the cute girls who are like flowers...... Whew-!! β
"It's ...... to have such a cute sister who is still messing around with flowers and grass," the green-haired young man called Yusuke rubbed his stomach and looked at the snow blowing in the heavenly courtyard where his sister was pulling his ears and running around, "You deserve to have not found a true love so far." β
"What nonsense are you talking about...... "Blowing Snow struggled and didn't forget to refute the dirty water splashed by his friend, "I'm just asking a little bit higher than the average person, otherwise why do you think I change my ...... so often?" Hey, Asuka will spare my brother, and I'll have my surname Mi if I pull my ears again......"
"Humph!" Seeing that there were already a few passers-by looking this way, the blonde girl let go of her two fingers stupidly, "This is the last time, brother, if there is a next time, I will be the first to inform the girls in the newborn and ask them not to approach you." β
"Ah~ how can you be so cruel......"
Ryo Maruto reached out and stopped a taxi, sat in the passenger seat, and looked at the others, a little unsure of what to say.
"Come on." He said.
"We are already 2 hours behind schedule."
β¦β¦
Every year from March 6th to March 10th, it is the day when the Duel Academy recruits new students, and during these five days, there will be hundreds of teenagers and girls with the dream of dueling to sign up for the assessment with letters of recommendation obtained from various sources, and more than half of them will be eliminated, because in previous years, all the numbers showed that the academy would only admit more than 400 people per assessment...... Despite such a brutal elimination rate, the number of people participating in the assessment is still increasing year by year, which shows that the influence of card duels has grown to a considerable extent, the identity of the duelist is becoming a glory, and the duel itself is quietly changing from a game to a sport.
"Those seniors who have worked so hard for today will be very happy if they see this scene." Walking into the spacious and grand assessment site, looking at the rows of full spectators, Asuka couldn't help but sigh - today is the 10th, the last day of the assessment, and the people who are fighting with the examiners in the arena below are all freshmen who have passed the written test two days ago.
Several of them are third-year students of "Obelisk Blue", and they also hold important positions in the academy, and the reason why they came to watch the freshman assessment this time is not only to come out and let the wind out, but also to absorb excellent seedlings for their own academy.
Although the decision on which inner courtyard students go to is based on their dueling style, if they themselves have a strong subjective inclination, the school will not force anything.
"Those bastards in the Yellow Courtyard have already robbed a lot of people...... 2 good seedlings with the potential to impact 1 point have been dug up, hum, if I knew that this would be the case, we should have set off 2 days in advance, the Blue Courtyard has us to press the formation, and it is difficult for them to drink soup. β
Yusuke Fujiwara gritted his teeth and read the message sent on his mobile phone, and he had a great intention of going directly to other inner courtyard turf to play.
"That's not good for the development of the college, Yusuke." Ryo Maruto stood still and stared straight at the teenager in the No. 8 arena, "We just need to reconcile and let them restrain a little...... Asuka, that young man's information will be transferred to me, his deceased Su Sheng has been holding it in his hand for 2 rounds, and the examiner can't let him use all his strength at all. β
"Okay, I'll go find this year's freshman reception when we get to our area." The blonde girl nodded, then turned her head to find that her brother was gone again.
Ay? Why do I say again......
"Bright? Are you serious? Fujiwara Yusuke was a little unwilling, "That's a freshman with the potential to hit 1 point!" Two! β
"There is potential...... Nothing more. Ryo Maruto looked indifferent, as if he was not worried about the future of his academy at all, "Our Obelisk Lan's teaching is different from the other inner courtyards, and among the four inner courtyards, only us and the White Academy have such strict examination standards for basic skills and math information, and no one can say what their future will be." β
"So, instead of digging people back, it's better to look for any buried pearls, I remember that there are quite a few people who like to suddenly exert their strength on the last day."
"You're so confident...... the green-haired young man looked at his back stunned, his scalp tingling.
He is worthy of the title of "Caesar".
"Bright."
"Huh?"
"I finally know why...... I can't steal the chairman's position, and you are indeed more suitable for this role than my theorist. β
"Where, I've heard them choose this because I'm always unsmiling and look more majestic......"
"Hahaha......"
During the conversation, they had already arrived at the area in charge of their inner courtyard, and when more than a dozen students of the Blue Academy saw a few of them, they couldn't wait to post them and say that you are finally here, no wonder...... This year's Red Academy and Yellow Academy don't know what kind of wind they are pumping, they actually sent a lot of very powerful colleges during the freshman assessment, and they alone are not enough to shake the other party's intention to grab people, if it weren't for the professor who led the team is a member of the Blue Academy, they may be the one who can't even drink the soup.
"Although I did hear that there would be excellent students coming to the scene, I didn't expect that even Ryo Maruto would come." Cronos de Medici, who was sitting at the computer desk with a sad face, flashed his eyes when he saw Ryo Maruto, and his old face immediately smiled like an X-flower...... He is the professor who led the team this time, and he is also the dean of the Blue Academy.
"Very good, now those civilian duelists must be able to correctly understand where they should go, ......
To speak of this Professor Cronos de Medici, even the students of the Blue Academy themselves must admit that he has a little bit of taste...... Unique, long blonde hair is indeed very beautiful, yes, but while tying a long ponytail, the front of his cheeks is actually trimmed into the shape of a mushroom, the collar raised inside the dark blue coat is actually a girlish dreamy pink, and there is unreliable information that a student once saw him in the bathroom taking out a makeup box to pat himself ......
This guy can be the most obnoxious professor in the eyes of all the other inner court students, and these customs have helped him a lot. Of course, if you exclude this series of quirks, he is still a very responsible professor, although he is a little moody, but he loves his (optimistic) students very much, and often volunteers to solve problems for (excellent) students.
"Good work, Professor Kronos." Maruto Ryo selectively ignored the sinister smile at the end of the other party's sentence, "Leave the rest to us." β
He sat down where Kronos had been, and began to quickly browse through the information of the freshmen who had been assessed so far.
"Ryo, here's what you just asked me to find." Asuka walked up to him and handed him a page of paper that still smelled of heat and ink, "Martin Nolan, from Munich, Germany, you can study his victories and defeats, it's very interesting." β
"The same number of wins and losses?" Maruto Ryo glanced at it, and soon found this bizarre phenomenon, he thought he had counted it wrong at first, and hurriedly counted it again, because he couldn't score points at all in the winning and losing fields, and he should have been eliminated a long time ago, but there was no difference between the second time and the first time.
"Are there four of the opponents who won the group topped the group...... I see, even if the points are insufficient, the winner and loser are enough to make him advance. β
"It's amazing, I was shocked when I first saw it." Asuka smiled narrowly, after all, it was rare to have a chance to see the expression of this "first person in the academy", "The record of retrieving information counts me only 2 times, I don't know who the person who noticed him before us, but at present, the Red Academy and the Yellow Academy don't seem to be interested in him, the Yellow Academy currently has a fancy to a freshman named Misawa Dadi, and is sending someone to contact him, do you want to snatch him over?" I also read his information, counting jΓΉ streams, the first place in the written test, how about it, it's very much in line with your taste. β
"Don't say this kind of misleading thing in public......" Ryo Maruto twitched the corner of his mouth, he turned his head to look around, and was relieved to find that no one was paying attention to this place, "Give me a copy of his information, too, so that Yusuke can try to contact it, and also, blowing snow." β
"It's gone since just now...... Did you just find out? The blonde girl sighed, and it could be seen that she was very troubled by her brother's vices, "I guess I'm going to take the girl again...... Really, I don't know who is the older one, can't he let me save some snacks. β
ββ¦β¦ Call him back, we're not here to play, whatever he wants after three o'clock, but now I need him to work. β
"Okay!"
"That's right." Ryo Maruto stopped the girl who was about to leave again, "I just found out that there is a new student who hasn't come, what's going on?" β
"Isn't this kind of thing very common, in previous years, there were many cases of people who gave up the duel exam because their written test scores were too low, why are you so concerned this time?" Asuka stopped, and also stopped the action of dialing the number at hand, "I'll call the teacher in charge of reception and ask, if there is any sudden leave information, he will handle it...... What is the student's written test ranking? β
"110, the exams outside the rank number 100 have all ended, so I asked why he didn't come, only 10 places short of entering the top 100, it can't be a matter of grades." Ryo Maruto stared at the monitor with a grim face, his fingers sliding rapidly on the wheel, he was looking at the student's pen test paper, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong with the other party.
There are a lot of common sense questions that are wrong, but there are many examples that you can't even reach in the third grade...... What exactly is this?
"Ryuβ" The girl screamed in his ear, awakening him from his musings.
"The teacher asked me to ask you what his name was."
"It seems to be...... Visiting the city? Showing an apologetic look to the girl who was staring at him, Ryo Maruto manipulated the scroll wheel to adjust the page to the first page and glanced at it quickly, "That's right, it's Yucheng." β
"Touring the City...... Ten generations. β
