Chapter 33: The 3E Exam

The physical test did not bring any turmoil to Lin Nian's life, and in the past two days at the Kassel Academy, the impression that this academy with the goal of slaying dragons brought to him was very simple and unpretentious.

At the beginning, Lin Nian thought that everyone in this academy was carrying an AK in class, but whenever someone was caught cheating, the professor would hold Glock's head against it and roar and ask if he dared next time, maybe the student would sneer and reply: I bet you don't have any bullets in your gun.

But in reality, the students of Kassel Academy are dressed appropriately, they should go to class on weekdays, they should have dinners, and even the night watchman forum has a game exchange group of DOTA and CS, and Lin Nian also added it and cut a few plates, this life tone is completely in line with the spiritual outlook of contemporary college students, of course, the premise is that you have to ignore the female college students who jumped three meters high and dunked inside when passing by the gymnasium.

Since there is no course and no way to make new friends, Lin Nian's activities in the past two days are basically following Fingal around the school, and the Kassel Academy is still a little bit of a place to walk around the mountain, at least find out where the most important teaching buildings are, and Lin Nian paid a few lunches for this.

Time quickly moved to the third day, which was also the most important day for Lin Nian to come to Kassel Academy, and it was also the day that countless people were looking forward to - the 3E exam.

In order to set up a separate examination room, Professor Manstein, the head of the Discipline Committee, applied for an entire school building from the university, on the grounds that it would ensure impartiality and that there would be no bad acts of favoritism and malpractice caused by the gathering of idle people.

To put it simply, this is a separate 3E exam, Manstein emptied an entire teaching building because of Lin Nian, which caused many students with classes to take a temporary vacation, and they focused on the 'potential stocks' sitting alone in the teaching building between idleness.

In the empty classroom, Lin Nian sat alone in front of a desk in the center, and all the rest of the clutter, including the lectern, was emptied, Professor Manstein in front of the classroom door held an undeveloped document with a seal in his hand, and raised his hand from time to time to look at the watch time, and the teacher Masashi Toyama, who had seen it earlier, greeted Lin Nian sitting in the classroom with a smile on his face with a medical kit.

What is surprising is that Lin Nian and Lin Xian are not in the same examination room, but they are in the same building, he is on the first floor, Lin Xian is on the third floor, why Professor Manstein would arrange it like this, he didn't ask, in short, he didn't need to copy the answer with Lin Xian, he might as well worry about himself than worry about Lin Xian, after all, his studies have been tutored by Lin Xian since he can remember.

"Twelve minutes until nine o'clock, I'll send the curls two minutes early, are you ready?" Professor Manstein glanced at his watch and then at Lin Nian.

"The last thing I did before I went to bed last night was played two games, and I couldn't prepare for a test that I didn't even know the scope of." Lin Nian made a joke and eased the tense atmosphere.

"You'll understand everything when the exam starts." Seeing that the time was almost up, Manstein walked into the classroom to check the integrity of the sealed documents in front of Lin Nian, unsealed the seal, and placed the test paper on the table, along with a 2B pencil and a white eraser.

Lin Nian pinched the bridge of his nose, took a breath to refresh himself, picked up the test paper and looked... Then the people were confused.

White, a blank space on the test paper.

There are no questions, no signs of printing, not even seals and underlines for filling in names.

Lin Nian was stunned for a moment and seemed to understand something-this 3E exam has an element of listening in it? All the questions will be broadcast from the loudspeaker, and you only need to write the answers on a blank piece of paper? He looked up at the classroom, and sure enough, he saw a loudspeaker hanging on the wall in the corner.

"The test papers have been distributed, there is nothing wrong with the test papers themselves, the exam will be officially taken in ten minutes, and you are not allowed to leave the classroom during the exam, but you can walk around, talk, and even sleep in the classroom at will, as long as there is no favoritism involved." Manstein said with a bow.

As the director of the Discipline Committee, he couldn't help but not reveal the scope of the exam to his students at a critical time, and after saying the established lines, Manstein withdrew from the classroom with the paper bag and closed the door, leaving Lin Nian alone to sit in it.

After the classroom door was closed, Lin Nian picked up the front and back of the white paper in front of him and carefully observed it, he flicked the paper surface with his fingers, the thin and crisp feel meant that the paper was a single layer and had not been made a spy-like sandwich technology, he picked up the white paper again and walked to the window to look at the sunlight, and then carefully observed the shadow on the ground, and did not find anything strange.

After trying all the tricks he could think of, Lin Nian finally determined that this was an A4 paper that was not unusual and visible, and even the pencil and eraser had been checked, and he was a little worried that the Kassel Academy's exam would not follow the usual path, and this kind of test was actually a test of his criminal investigation ability and observation or something.

Glancing up at the wall clock on the wall, there was still a minute before the official exam of the exam, Lin Nian sat back in his seat, spread the white paper on the table and looked at the horn hanging on the ceiling in the corner, he felt that this was probably the last possibility.

The hour hand pointed to nine o'clock, and the horn hanging in the corner of the classroom really sounded, and it began to play the familiar Bach cello No. 1 in G major!

Lin Nian's pencil was stuck again, the expression on his face was as uncomfortable as eating a hairy pork knuckle, he put down the pen and looked at the horn with a strange expression, hoping that the melodious and soothing cello sound would suddenly stop, and the temporary union coughed twice embarrassedly to indicate that the audio was misplaced, and when the horn sounded again, what he heard was the familiar shirt of nine pounds and fifteen pence.

But it didn't turn out as he hoped, the cello sounded like a professional orchestra on stage, and the strings would vibrate the air again and again to make a beautiful sound before the conductor lowered his strong arms.

Lin Nian's brows were furrowed and he was about to wring out the water, he took the pencil and lifted it down repeatedly, with a tangled expression on his face.

He even began to have the conjecture that the Kassel Academy was actually a conservatory, and if the examination method that decided to leave the students was music, then the previous dragon slayer masters should be masters of various musical instruments, familiar with piano, cello, violin, guzheng and countless other instruments.

And the dragon clan also happens to be a group of music fanatics, and every time they meet humans, they will have different music appreciation due to different races, so they angrily sacrifice musical instruments to fight the piano! Humans have repeatedly been at a disadvantage in the struggle against the dragons, probably because their piano does not have the dragon tuba, so they can only form a secret party to form a concert troupe, under the command of a veteran dragon-slaying conductor, the music will burst into a huge sound, and the magic spirit will be triggered to defeat the dragons!

Then the Sydney Theatre will be a place of pilgrimage for all dragon slayers, and the theatre will be full of young spies in the middle of the night... Oh no, it's the young secret party who listened to the epic music composed by the dragon slayers of the past generations to defeat the dragon clan with tears in their eyes!

So much so that why it has to be the Sydney Theatre, because only such a large venue can accommodate such a thing as Xia Long to fight the piano together!

Stem, is the history of human dragon slaying so poetic?

Lin Nian felt a little disillusioned in his life, but he was actually a little glad that he was fortunate to have learned some piano, if he used music to slay the dragon, he could also have some ways to enter the industry, but thinking about the predecessors who slay the dragon and carried the violin, guzheng, and cello, did it seem too bloated to carry the piano by himself?

The examination room of the 3E exam is such a serious place, Lin Nian is actually running trains in his mind now, but he feels that whoever comes has to run the train, this exam is just nonsense! Is it because they look a little like Mozart or Bach that they have any S-class potential? He'd rather be more like Richard Clayderman!

Bach played in the classroom, Lin Nian put down his pencil and sighed and looked out the window, he wanted to know what kind of expression Lin Xian upstairs was now, probably the other party was as confused as himself, right? It's a pity that he didn't have a chance to test his conjecture, he was not allowed to leave this classroom during the exam, and he was the only one in the empty classroom, just like a... Cage.

The black sky, the wind and snow swept like a white python, the dark and lonely fortress, the cage railing of the forest, and the plain white hands stretched out of the railing.

Suddenly, a refreshing cold feeling surged into Lin Nian's heart, and he couldn't help but shudder, and supported the table with both hands.

Countless distorted images began to flash in front of Lin Nian's eyes for no reason, a large amount of noise permeated his retina, the sound of the Bach cello in his ears began to fade like a low tide, and the scales began to twist and spiral upwards until the eardrums were unbearably sharp and piercing.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Lin Nian gradually heard the knock on the door again, and the sound gradually crept from faint to deafening, as if he had put his ear to the door and listened carefully to the person behind the door violently slamming the door. He tried to get up from his seat, but he found that he didn't have the strength, and the knock on the door grew louder and louder, deafening, as if a crack was about to burst into his heavenly spirit cover and go straight into his brain!

What happened? Lin Nian didn't know that all the distorted and broken pictures were like a rising tide, and the black tide flooded him standing on the beach, but when the water swallowed him, what blinded him was not pitch black, but snow white.

Lin Nian smelled a smell of ice and snow that belonged to him, and what appeared in front of him was a vast snowfield so white that it made people freeze ice slag from their bones.

"Someone's knocking on the door, Lin Nian." Someone whispered in Lin Nian's ear.

Lin Nian couldn't tell for a moment whether this was an auditory hallucination or someone was really talking to him, because he actually felt that the voice of the person talking to him was somewhat familiar, as if once upon a time they had sat with each other by the flame of the fireplace, and had eaten together with cold snow and loneliness that was colder than the ice field.

Lin Nian tried his best to get up, he twisted his head to look out the window and hoped to see Manstein patrolling the corridor, but he glanced sideways and saw a landscape that he had never seen in his life, but it seemed to have arrived, as if he had met in a dream.

Outside the classroom window, the icy snowy peaks towered into the clouds, the black python coiled on the mountain, the boiling blood melted the ice and snow into the black sea, the thunder gathered and the storm slowly pushed from the sky, and the roar of the dragon was hidden in the blizzard. The material of the classroom door has somehow become black steel, and it is painted with Arabic numerals in a red more vivid than blood, like a number, and it is also like a quarantine permit for pigs and sheep to be slaughtered, and the constant knocking on the door is coming from outside the door, the knocker is fierce and domineering, and the anxiety is like a fire that burns nerves all the time.

I'm going to open the door, someone is waiting for me.

Enchanted thoughts grew in his brain, Lin Nian struggled off the table and chair, the weight of the mountain pressed on his body, so that he could only climb in front of the iron door, he gritted his teeth and reached out to hold the doorknob and pulled the iron bolt open, and the door opened in response.

A blonde girl appeared in front of Lin Nian, the snow blew her hair to cover her face, Lin Nian looked up, and only saw a smile on the corner of the girl's mouth.

"You shouldn't have come back." She said.
