"In half a month, the academy will open. Dylan said a little nonchalantly.

Donald made a bitter face: "Yes, as soon as school starts, you can't eat as much as you want during this time!

Stephen said angrily, "You have it, when did you care about those people's opinions? But then again, you've eaten a lot this month, and you see you're getting fat again!"

"Why are you fat? Not fat, you are talking nonsense!"

The two of them had a fight.

Stephen soon noticed that something was wrong with Dylan, and quickly asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Dylan smiled bitterly: "Hey, I now meditate every night, and my mental strength has been improved to a certain extent, but I always feel that there is no way to go further." It's like, there's a piece of glass pressed against my head, and it looks fragile, but I just can't hold it open. ”

Stephen said with a smile: "This is not a bad thing, you should be at the peak of the third-level magician now, and you may break through at any time, and it is estimated that you are not far from the fourth-level." ”

Donald smiled: "I said Dylan, you are really amazing, not only the level of the magician is increasing rapidly, but also the path of the caster is getting smoother and smoother, you are really a genius, hey, the academy missed such a powerful person as you, it is indeed their loss!"

Dylan said: "You also have to work hard, after all, our hunting team has not been disbanded, if there is a chance, we still need to fight in real combat, so that there will be improvement!"

Naturally, Stephen and Donald agreed.

"Dylan, there have been all kinds of rumors in the imperial capital lately, have you heard that?" asked Stephen.

Dylan had been in the blacksmith shop before, so he naturally didn't know it, and immediately shook his head.

As soon as Donald heard this, his interest was suddenly aroused: "Eh, I've heard some, it is said that there has been chaos outside the city, there are many troops stationed, and many of them are injured, you say, what happened to the empire?"

Dylan frowned, "Wounded soldier?" He quickly realized that this matter must have something to do with the Monster Mountain.

"Yes, it is said that many warriors, knights, and magicians have been crippled! Donald looked sympathetic.

After hearing this, Dylan could basically conclude that those soldiers must have returned from the Warcraft Mountains.

"What the hell is going on there, why is it alarming so many Imperial troops?" Dylan was very confused, when he and Carlos and the others went to the Warcraft Mountain to carry out a mission, they found a large number of Imperial troops there, but they didn't want to be discovered at that time, so they quickly retreated, and did not figure out the specific situation.

......

Time flies quickly, half a month flies, and the college will open today.

According to the practice of the college, there will be no classes on the first day of school, and the dean of the college will conduct a welcome ceremony.

The real dean of the college is the Archbishop of the Holy Light, but the archbishop generally does not interfere in the affairs of the college, and the vice president presides over the overall situation.

However, at the welcome ceremony of the opening of the school this year, the associate dean announced a news about the college's evaluation.

The college assessment was supposed to be held at the end of the year, but at the end of last year, the college had an early holiday, and the year-end assessment was postponed to the beginning of this year.

And this news about the assessment is that the rules of this assessment have changed, and they no longer choose one-on-one as in previous years, but can form a three-person team for a group duel.

This is a huge change, especially for students with average skills, as it means that they can find someone who is stronger than themselves to take the test and get better results.

You must know that the annual evaluation of the academy is very important for every student of the academy, because getting good results can not only get certain rewards, but also bring a certain reputation to yourself in the academy and even the entire imperial capital.

Moreover, the champion of the annual academy evaluation will basically become the mainstay of the empire in the future. Many of the big names in the Imperial Mage Regiment now had high scores in the academy's evaluations back then.

Therefore, the empire attaches great importance to the annual academy evaluation, because it is often here that the future heroes of the empire are born.

The annual evaluation of the academy is open to the public, and all commoners and nobles in the imperial capital can go to watch. Of course, the nobles of the imperial capital had certain privileges and were able to sit in a relatively high position and watch the battle.

The audience seat for the evaluation competition is generally selected in the largest martial arts training ground in the imperial capital, and all the student tutors of the college can enter the venue to observe, and in every past evaluation, the audience seat is basically full, and I think this year will be no exception.

The year-end side evaluation of the college has gradually become a traditional festival in the imperial capital, attracting a lot of attention.

After the college's welcome party, the students also began to look for their partners.

Stephen and Donald are naturally no exception, but as two of the "three wastes of the academy", they usually don't have a good relationship with other students, so they can't find a third person to form a group with them.

This can make the two very frustrated, and they can't find a third person, which means they have to play with two people, and it is really unfair to face the other three-person team.

"What the hell is this? Oh, that's annoying!" Donald grumbled as he poured wine into his glass.

Stephen was also full of sadness: "Hey, it is said that this year's academy evaluation, senior officials of the Imperial Mage Corps will also go to observe, it is a great opportunity to make a splash." If the high-ranking officials of the mage group take a fancy to it, then it can be said that the future is bright!"

Dylan on the side smiled helplessly: "It's a pity, I'm not a student of the academy, so I can't form a team with you!"

Donald frowned, the flesh on his face was almost squeezed together: "This is really sad, Dylan, you said that if you were an official student of our academy, how good it would be, we can attack this year's championship!"

Dylan couldn't help but laugh and said: "Champion? Do you think too much, just the three of us, how can we win the championship!" You know, the Academy of Magic is a place where many masters are hidden, I inquired, it is said that there are many people who have won the championship, and they are usually unknown ordinary students, at least in the eyes of outsiders. ”

Stephen bit his lip: "It is said that this academy's evaluation is very special, not only because the rules have changed, but also because His Majesty the King, who has not appeared for a long time, will also be present in person this time, this is a good opportunity to make a reputation!"

Dylan couldn't help but be stunned: the king will also go to watch?
