Chapter Eighty-Three: Epilogue
In a blink of an eye, two months have passed since that strange undercurrent night, Monica said goodbye to them early the next morning, but the mysterious red-haired girl has been unconscious until now, Yan Heling is busy with the black rose, and the dragon has not seen the end all day, and has no time to take care of them, so Liu Ye spent a comfortable time in the morning of the century that he has not had for a long time.
The chaos that night made Liu Ye have a faint premonition, maybe not only the magic world, but also the scientific world was setting off an earth-shaking storm, but the authorities were fascinated, and it was difficult for him to get a glimpse of the whole picture.
to high-tech. Liu Ye kept this name firmly in his heart, if Cheng Wenqiu was looking for a participant in the "Hundred Talents Plan", then Chen Siyun would undoubtedly become his target.
In the final analysis, the Tears Company is just a small role that cannot be put on the stage, just like Sister Tang Yin said, it can erase the traces of a big war in one night, and there must be a larger force behind it.
But now it makes no sense to think about this, the magic world is more primitive and cruel than the laws of the scientific world, and only if the strength is enough, can he be qualified to negotiate with others, and now he obviously does not have such conditions.
If you add the dawn of the century, there is the existence of Yan Heling, maybe it can.
But will Yan Heling really help him?
Liu Ye felt that there was a big question mark here, although he had not shown malice or kindness to himself for such a long time, but it was this inexplicable attitude that made Liu Ye feel extremely uneasy.
Today's sun is just right, it's already March, the clear sky in spring can give people a more relaxed feeling than in winter, this afternoon, Liu Ye sat on the steps at the door of the villa, lazily basking in the sun, he changed into a spring dress, the top is a light blue shirt, from the collar of the shirt, you can see that there is still a faint light brown scar next to the collarbone.
Watson healed his wounds, but the scars remained forever, a testament to his journey between life and death.
"Yo, Ah Ye, you're here. A man sat down beside him.
It's Ouyang Gu, he is dressed the same all year round, always a colorful beach shirt.
During this time, he and Mu Shilan practiced with Ouyang Gu and Tang Yin respectively, and made a lot of progress. Especially on Shi Lan's side, her cultivation is even harder, with more than fifteen hours of schoolwork every day, Liu Ye feels that it is too hard, but when she hears that it is her own request, it is difficult to say anything more.
Speaking of which, due to the difference in schedule, although the two of them live under the same roof, they haven't seen each other for almost a month.
"I'm done with my training, so I'm going to leave for Tokyo tomorrow. Liu Ye narrowed his eyes, "Fourier and Zeng Chen said they weren't going?
Fourier felt that he couldn't make the cut, but Zeng Chen had no idea at all. Ouyang Gu stared at the flourishing flowers and plants in the courtyard, his sunglasses glowing slightly, "Magicians who have already been rated only need to take the approved assessment once every three years, that is, defeat the examiner with the corresponding rating, and they don't need to take other tests." ”
"Examiner?" Liu Ye nodded thoughtfully, he already had a basic understanding of the process of the rating conference.
The rating conference was held in Dongjing, and it was divided into four stages, namely the magic knowledge test, the reaction speed test, the actual combat test, and the mysterious final assessment.
The first two tests only require rookie magicians who have no rating to participate, in other words, only Liu Ye has to participate, while Ouyang Gu only needs the actual combat test, as for the final assessment, it is a promotion assessment for those magicians who want to become SS ratings, and the chairman of the Asian Magic Association is personally responsible, and among them, only Sister Tang Yin may have an idea about this.
For a magician like Liu Ye who has never participated in a rating conference, after participating in the first two tests, he will get a preliminary rating, and then he will be divided into the corresponding group to participate in the actual combat test, for example, he is divided into the B-level group, and after obtaining a B+ rating, he will get a chance to challenge the A-level magician, and if he succeeds, he will be promoted to the A-level group.
The easiest way to advance is to defeat the examiner of the corresponding group, and the examiner will strictly control the strength of the mana to keep the battle at the base level of the corresponding rating, but then you will only get the lowest evaluation, which is A-, because you will automatically be ranked at the bottom of the group after promotion.
A-, A, and A+ are rated as a percentage of the number of people in the group, with the bottom 30 percent being A-, the middle 60 percent being A, and the top 10 percent being A+.
If you want to improve again, you can only continue to challenge, but due to the vastly different strengths of magicians between different groups, the gap between A, S, and SS is even more like mud, and few people continue to challenge in the promotion match.
"Well, Examiner. Ouyang Gu smiled, his eyes full of sunshine, "Usually the core members of the Magic Association, there are a total of thirteen executive officers of the Asian Magic Association, I don't know which ones are this time." ”
"Executive?"
"Yes, there are sword wielders in Europe, there are executive officers in Asia, and there are witches in the Americas, and the number is thirteen, and as for the strength, it is almost between S and SS. ”
"This is the first time I've ever known. Liu Ye yawned, "What is the final assessment?"
"What, you have an idea about this?"
"No, no, I can't even think about it. Liu Ye lazily looked at the clear mirror-like sky, "One thing I don't quite understand, why do magicians participate in the rating?
"Haha, I knew you were going to ask that. Ouyang Gu lightly pinched, and suddenly the wind rose, rolling up the peach blossoms all over the ground, forming a rain of petals, I don't know what kind of fun he is, "Most magicians participate in the rating conference, it is a recognition of strength, the magic world is different from the science world, a brand above A+ can get quite respect and convenience in many places." ”
"What else?" Liu Ye glanced at him, "With these alone, it is impossible to make the rating conference a continental-level event." ”
"Of course, it's more than that. Ouyang Gu smiled evilly. "Highly rated magicians can hold positions in the Magical Society, and of course, there is still an interview. It can be said that no matter how reluctant the family alliance may be, the Magical Society has been the de facto ruler of the wizarding world for the past few hundred years. On this planet, out of the reach of your world, there are many hidden secret realms, and the minerals and potions in these secret realms are auctioned and distributed by the Magical Association. ”
"Profit distribution, you also use money?" Liu Ye cleared his throat and showed surprise on his face, "I've been with you for so long, and I haven't seen you use money." ”
"Of course, we don't farm. Ouyang Gu glanced at him, "Magicians control a large number of physical industries in the technology world, some large and some small. Again, these are taxed and handed over to the Magical Association, you see, the Magical Association controls the tax rates in different regions, which is why the position of the Association is a sweet spot. ”
"Understood. Liu Ye nodded, looking at Ouyang Gu with one eye closed, "Don't you magicians hate us who study natural sciences? ”
"Hahaha, no matter how recalcitrant people don't admit it, the gradual convergence of the wizarding world and the scientific world is a visible trend with the naked eye, and even the most conservative family alliances are always insatiably greedy for more when it comes to distributing benefits. There was a hint of mockery in Ouyang Gu's tone, "Of course, there are some magical organizations that never participate in rating conferences, but there are not many. ”
"The pursuit of fame and fortune is one of the instincts, but it is not necessary. Liu Ye stretched, "How is Shilan now?"
"I'm tired, I guess I won't be able to get up until tomorrow, and I didn't see her, it was all said by the eldest sister. ”
"I'm going to leave tomorrow, how can I practice like this?"
In order to advance, the incident of tears hit her hard, which is why she worked so hard to become stronger. Ouyang Gu stood up and patted Liu Ye on the shoulder, "As the chosen son, you have to be worthy of your talent." ”
"Me?" Liu Ye's eyelids drooped slightly, this sentence was too familiar to him, a long time ago, when he was not exposed to magic, there were many people who said the same thing to him.
But he finally gave up, quit the 100 Talents Project, gave up an almost unlimited amount of resources, and became a mediocre person who wasted his life.
Now faced with a similar situation again, what will he choose?
"Today some people point to the moon, the fool sees the finger, and the wise man sees the moon. Ouyang Gu dropped a clueless sentence and walked back to the house, "After going through so much, you should know what kind of responsibility your talent corresponds to." ”
"Responsibility ......" Liu Ye looked at his hands and fell into deep thought
