Chapter 286: Changed Admission Rules

"The area of this square is really wide enough, Shenwu Academy is worthy of being one of the three major colleges, it is only a thousand students, do you need such a large campus?"

As Teacher Yang walked to the platform in the center of the square, the platform was surrounded by more than 300 young people who were about to take the test.

On the platform, in addition to Teacher Yang, there were two young people who had been waiting there for a long time.

These two young men should look like the two young men who opened the door outside before, they are both students of this Divine Martial Academy.

Ye was still standing at the back of everyone, looked around, and found that this square was tens of thousands of square meters in size, the ground was all paved with granite, and the edge of the square was surrounded by various buildings of the college.

In a place like Kyoto Prefecture, where every inch of land is valuable, but with such a large area of a square, except for the Imperial Palace, I am afraid that only the three major academies can have such privileges.

"Shenwu Academy has indeed reached a certain extreme in terms of teaching configuration. Although there are only a thousand students in the entire Shenwu Academy, the teachers at all levels together have as many as five hundred, and purely in terms of the ratio of teachers to students, it has reached a terrifying level of one to two. If you take into account that each student will have interspersed time with each other's classes, then basically Shenwu Academy can guarantee that every student will receive one-on-one guidance from the teacher in the process of learning. ”

Xia Fan continued with some emotion: "If you want to become a teacher of the Divine Martial Academy, you must also have at least the strength of the Martial King level, unless you have reached the height of the Grandmaster level in other fields, you can relax at the level of strength. Such a ratio of teachers, plus those other configurations in the college. Even the War Academy and the Kyoto Imperial Academy, which are both the three major academies, cannot be compared to the Shenmu Academy. Therefore, although Shenwu is the only academy open to civilians among the three major academies, it still firmly occupies the top position among the three academies. ”

"This is really unexpected, I originally thought that the War Academy, which only admits children from the military, and the Kyoto Imperial Academy, which only the children of the powerful can enter, will have some advantages over the Shenmu Academy. After all, the resources that those two academies can get should be better than those of the Shenwu Academy. ”

Ye still whispered.

The teacher Yang on the stage, accompanied by two young students, had already begun to loudly introduce the basic situation of the Shenwu Academy, as well as the content of the entrance exam to be held next, those people in Kyoto Prefecture obviously have not completed the certificate of entering the museum, so in addition to their group of people who came to take the exam, there is only an old man with a broom who is cleaning in the square.

"It's hard to say, at any given time, the only benefit of closure is the preservation of traditions. No matter how inclined the resources are, there can be no huge gap between the three major colleges. And this gap, in the face of absolute student advantage, will be easily smoothed out, or even surpassed. As far as I know, at least seventy percent of the teachers that Shenwu Academy now has are students who have studied in the school. ”

Xia Fan tilted his head and leaned into Ye Yi's ear, and continued: "The War Academy only recruits soldiers, and the focus of teaching is not on personal force, so the top powerhouses that are really cultivated are rare. As for the Kyoto Imperial Academy, you should know that the reason why the magnates can be called magnates is because of their scarcity in number. Even if the resources they have are larger, in the case of an absolute disadvantage in the base, even if the probability of becoming a talent is higher, the absolute number will be greatly inferior in comparison. After all, our Daqian Dynasty has 40,000 people. ”

In the end, Xia Fan stretched out four fingers towards Ye Yi, and then said: "Even if it is calculated according to the average number, in the entire dynasty, the number of young people at the age of eighteen will reach four million every year, and among these young people, the number of young people who can really be admitted to the Shenwu Academy will definitely not exceed four hundred per year, which is truly one in a million!" And among the 400 or so freshmen every year, they can finally survive the four years of study in the college, and the number of successful graduates is almost only about 10%, and the remaining 90% will be gradually eliminated in the previous four years! ”

"The elimination rate is so high? Other words...... Although the Shenwu Academy maintains a number of 1,000 students all year round, in fact, there are only a few dozen people who can successfully graduate from the Shenwu Academy every year? ”

Ye was still a little shocked by the numbers Xia Fan said, so that his voice was slightly higher.

However, fortunately, the teacher Yang on the stage used the vitality fluctuation to amplify the sound during the explanation, so Ye Ying's raised volume was easily overshadowed by the voice of the teacher Yang and was not heard by others.

"That's right, so among the Divine Martial Academy, the largest number is always freshmen. In the Shenwu Academy, there has always been a saying that only when you are admitted to the academy can the competition really begin. Because you're surrounded by equally talented wizards, you won't have the feeling of standing out from the crowd when you were younger. If you want to stand out from these peers, in addition to having more amazing talents, you also have to work harder than others, otherwise you have no idea when you will be silently surpassed by others. ”

Xia Fan nodded, turned his head to look at Teacher Yang on the stage again, and said with a little emotion: "Of course, such a cruel competition mechanism and an ultra-high elimination rate also make the students of Shenwu Academy have a wide degree of recognition. Not only in the Great Qian Dynasty, but even if you look at the entire Southern Regions, the students of the Shenwu Academy also have a very high reputation. Even those students who have been eliminated, as long as they can study in the Shenwu Academy for more than a year, they will inevitably have an extremely bright future, not to mention those who can successfully graduate from the Shenwu Academy. ”

"Well, all this is what you heard from the people of Kyoto Prefecture?"

Seeing Xia Fan talking eloquently, Ye Yi suddenly asked again.

"Uh...... Can we stop dwelling on this issue? I don't want to lie to you, but I really can't tell the truth, this feeling is not comfortable. ”

Xia Fan spread out his hands and said helplessly.

"Okay."

Ye still glanced at Xia Fan, and sure enough, he didn't ask any more.

At this time, the teacher Yang on the stage also introduced some basic information of the college, and then beckoned to all the young people who came to participate in the exam, and said in a very high voice: "Okay, don't talk nonsense." Let's carry out the first part of the assessment, everyone line up, and come up in turn to release their current cultivation realm, anyone who has reached the realm of a second-grade martial artist or above, and is under the age of eighteen, can automatically enter the next part of the assessment. If you don't reach the realm of a second-grade martial artist, then the Divine Martial Academy can only regret to say sorry to you. ”

"What?!"

Xia Fan, who had just finished telling Ye Yi about the situation of the Shenwu Academy, was stunned on the spot after hearing what Teacher Yang said.
