Act XLIII. Ongoing
The morning commotion had subsided, and the afternoon magic rune exam was uneventful.
Magic runes are the equivalent of a foreign language exam in Reiner's words, the universal language of the world is a language called Serafino, in terms of pronunciation and vocabulary grammar, close to English or German and other languages on earth, with thirty-seven letters, each word is composed of several letters, contains a variety of tense changes, and most words are derived from affixes.
Magic runes are the language created by mages in ancient times to cast spells, there are a total of twenty-four runes, and unlike lingua franca, each rune represents a complete meaning, and the combination of runes is not a word, but more like a spell.
In the conventional classical magic circle, the runes together with the magic nodes and the magic trajectory together constitute a complete magic, in fact, if you trace back to the source, the basis of the spell model is the magic rune, Herman. It was the combination of the rune trajectories and nodes that Lord Braggs had created to spread the original mysterious magic to the public.
Although many spells do not have to be cast by magical runes, and even people who do not know magic runes at all can use magic normally, it is necessary if you want to decipher ancient texts for inspiration, or if you are trying to dig up treasures in the vast ancient ruins.
Reiner has a good memory and comprehension, and the magic rune exam is not a threat to him, in fact, when he finishes the entire test paper and checks it again, there are still more than forty minutes left in the two-hour exam.
Reiner, of course, would not make such an overly conspicuous act as handing in the papers early or lying down to sleep, and he honestly waited until the bell rang for the end of the exam before allowing the invigilator to take the papers.
Maybe it was the news that the noon incident had spread, and the invigilator looked at Reiner with a strange look, as if it was not a candidate, but an important guest, and even his movements became much more respectful.
Back at the hotel, several people from Crescent Academy enjoyed dinner together, and the students exchanged their experience in the exam, judging from the content of the discussion, Xueba Fina should be able to get a good score without suspense, and Leia and Eulaika are not bad in this kind of memorization-biased liberal arts exam, but the weakness of these two is faction knowledge and actual spell casting, and it depends on tomorrow's performance.
Surprisingly, Dana, after checking the answers, was actually about the same as Fina, although this student was originally not bad in basic knowledge, but this score was also surprising.
And Reiner, he didn't get involved in the discussion because it wasn't necessary.
After a good night's sleep, the next day's exam officially kicked off.
After the first day's onslaught, today, most of the boys in the examination room have adapted to the eye-catching sailor suit skirt of Crescent Academy, and even a few bold people came over to talk, trying to ask for names and contact information.
Of course, these little imps were all drunk back by Claire.
The morning exam is a comprehensive test, a paper containing all the faction questions, and the apprentices can choose two of them, of course, writing more will not add more points.
In addition to the more in-depth knowledge of each faction, this exam can also measure each student's ability to make judgments and analyzes.
The questions in these exams are based on the general education of the apprenticeship, which means that as long as the deviation is too serious or the school is unable to study a certain subject, the apprentices will have the capital to answer the questions.
The difficulty of each subject in each exam is not uniform, it may be difficult this time, or it is possible that these courses are easier this time, so the conventional test-taking strategy will require students to master at least ninety percent of the knowledge of at least three subjects, and choose the easiest two subjects to answer the questions after reviewing the questions during the exam.
For gifted people, they can get a perfect score regardless of the difficulty of the question, and for apprentices with solid basic skills and judgment, they can also get a higher score by choosing simple subjects.
I'm afraid that apprentices with too poor foundation will be troubled by this model and will be difficult to deal with.
Reiner chose two factions of alchemy and law, most of the topics of alchemy are analytical experiments, design experiments, because Reiner's law of conservation of mass has not yet been popularized, so there are almost no topics involving reaction calculations, as long as the apprentice who is familiar with alchemy, it is easy to get a high score.
The law system is just the opposite, thanks to Isaris. Led by Alberton, the application of spells in the law system is more inclined to the direction of mathematics and physics, including almost all the topics related to spell models, because of the large amount of calculations involved, many apprentices will give up directly at first sight.
But in Reiner's opinion, these physics problems are not too easy at most high school level, and as a physics teacher on Earth, he only needs to move his fingers to solve such problems, and it is effortless.
It is precisely because of this that Reiner's appearance of writing the test questions of the law department has also attracted the attention of the invigilator.
The male invigilator named Louis inspected the examination room, and then came to Reiner's side, he glanced at Reiner's test paper at random, only to find that the large blanks under the big question of the law system were actually filled, and the orderly calculations and formulas were arranged neatly like a beautiful paper, and if you pay a little attention, you will find that the derivation process is reasonable, and the answers are concise and beautiful.
This made Louis nod in admiration, it seems that the youngest Hohenheim Gold Cup winner in history is worthy of his name, and the basics are quite solid.
Reiner naturally knew that the invigilator was standing by his side, but this did not affect his answer in the slightest, Reiner wrote quickly, and the sound of constantly turning the test paper made the apprentice sitting next to him feel a lot of pressure, plus the invigilator had been standing nearby, causing cold sweat to oze from the candidates in this area.
The two-hour exam passed quickly, and after Reiner had checked it twice, the bell finally rang, and he put down his pen and stretched, looking at ease.
"Dana, how do you feel?"
Reiner was naturally concerned about the condition of his students.
"Well, I chose the Elemental and Law System, and I should have no problem getting eighty points."
Dana is different from the student who had a headache for calculations in the past, and a spontaneous temperament lingered around this girl, with the short skirt on her body, it was very dazzling, making several boys next to her look straight.
"Prepare well, the magic test in the afternoon is the real challenge."
Reiner smiled and reminded.
"Mm-hmm, I'll do my best."
Nodding, Dana smiled slightly.
