What is the exam? I have thought about this question thousands of times since I came into contact with the examination system. In ancient times, there was a imperial examination, and the existing college entrance examination urged people to work hard, forget to sleep and eat, which made people exhausted and became ill for a long time. There is a saying that when the results of the college entrance examination come out, a few families are happy and a few are sad. The exam gave me the impression that it was like a wild world of the jungle, and its essence was the selection of the upper class to the lower class, or the cruelty of human beings to the same kind?

As I opened my eyes and lay in bed, I thought about the same question over and over again.

I have a phobia of exams that I've never told anyone. I'm not afraid of jokes, it's just that there is no one I can trust to talk about.

I'm not inherently afraid of exams. This disease, which should be a psychological disorder, is rooted in the continuous examination of junior high school. When I entered high school, in order to prepare for the college entrance examination, the exams became more and more frequent. Then, I was paralyzed by the sea of books and the sea of exam papers—it would be more appropriate to say that I was numb. What I was excited about as a child turned into a continuous baseball attack that erupts today, and I was attacked by a chair tied to my desk.

So, I hated exams, to the point of hate. The words "test" and "test" became the last words I wanted to hear. Assessment, performance evaluation, and score, I want to test you, and I will be disgusted to hear it;

The first promotion exam of the year at the Rhett Academy of Elemental Magic (shocked by the fact that Western Magic Academies have an Eastern academic year system) began with my first class on Monday of the third week in the wizarding world. In my world, this kind of big exam is usually on Saturdays and Sundays. In this regard, I am very grateful to the leaders of the academy for their careful arrangement, or is it the Ministry of Magic's examination system that requires that the format of the promotion exam is semi-open, which means that students have a great deal of freedom during the exam period. In addition, depending on factors such as the content of the test questions and the requirements of the test room, students may have lunch during the exam, which according to Park Ji-woo said is the case for most practical exams in the past.

"What kind of questions have appeared in the past promotion exams?" I asked as I sat on the bed.

"The questions on the Advanced Exam are very different from those on the Advanced Exam. There weren't many students in our dormitory who took the theory test, only me and Xiao Hui. Because of an accident, everyone has not been able to participate in all the promotion exams since entering the school......" Park Zhiyu glanced up at Xiao Hui, saw him bow his head and continued silently, "Taking the actual skill test of the advanced exam as an example, there have been various forms such as magicians teaming up for magic competitions, magicians and magical creatures fighting, magic equipment competitions, soul equipment restrictions, etc., and the exam questions involve skill competitions, designated object searches, and long-range magical creature envoys. ”

"Will the questions for this advanced exam appear on the academy's bulletin board?" I recalled what Fang Dongyan's idol had said to me.

"Yes. ”

As soon as Park Ji-woo finished speaking, Josh, who had a nightcap on his head, stumbled back to the bedroom and threw himself on his bed.

"Josh Walker, what's the question?" Alex asked nervously.

"Woo......"

I could clearly see a green tendon burst out of Alex's head. The black classmate got out of bed and walked unhurriedly to Josh's side and pounced on the white classmate.

"Uh-ohhhhh

"Don't bury your face in the quilt when someone asks you to speak. "Alex is using a backhand kill on Josh.

"The hero spares his life, I deserve to die. Heroes spare their lives......"

After the ridiculous scene ended, Alex sat next to Josh and asked again: "The actual skill assessment of this advanced exam is an open-book exam, what are the exam questions?"

"Let me think about ......"

Seeing Alex holding himself, Josh immediately shouted, "I remember, it was that special training that did it." ”

"Huh?" puzzled three out of ten.

"That's the one, running around, called ......"

"Hide and seek?" asked Kojiro.

"It's not. ”

"Arrest?" Xiao Hui asked.

"Isn't that the question from last exam? Alex said.

"It's not an arrest. Heck, didn't the Guardians do special training for us last time, or everyone was running around...... Oh, it's the ...... I was eliminated because of my mistakes."

"It's not a mistake, it's stupid. Alex was open-mouthed, and three out of ten people remembered that Josh was talking about survival competition.

"It's the special training you said was designed by the Guardian's dream lover, and everyone needs to take each other's head ropes from each other to determine the final winner's elimination match. Adam confirmed.

"That's right. But," Josh said mysteriously, his face changed, "and although the questions are survival competitions, the content is very different from what the Guardian said. Guess ......."

"Guess you're a big-headed ghost," Alex clenched his fist on Josh's head and demanded, "Tell me all the information, or you'll be in good hands." ”

"Alex really doesn't understand humor. ”

Josh's words made the classmates next to him gnash their teeth, but the other party still endured silently in order to listen to the exam information.

"Advanced exam practical skills test questions for advanced exams, survival competition. Candidates must form a team of more than 10 people and less than 20 people to participate in this examination, and the number of people who do not reach is not eligible to participate in the examination. Candidates must bring at least one magical creature with them, and those who are bound by the Soul Binding Order, Soul Bound Spell, and Soul Covenant are all recognized, and candidates who are not accompanied by a magical creature are not eligible to take the exam.

"The Survival Arena is a designated park with a time limit of eight hours. As long as the mage class allows, there are no restrictions on soul equipment and magic equipment (except for dangerous goods that are restricted by relevant laws). The exam is a team elimination competition, and candidates compete with each other in teams.

"Candidates will receive a free magic tool (a combat kit with special functions) independently developed by the third-year student representatives of the Blue Academy of Magic Science and Technology before the exam, and the refusal of the user will be deemed to have given up the test. ”

Josh took back the small note and proudly said to us, "That's it on the bulletin board. How's it going, am I very good at being able to memorize all the information?"

Putting Josh's cheat sheet aside for a moment, I asked him, "What is the special function of that magic tool for the actual skill exam?"

"I don't know, the announcement didn't say it. Josh spread his hands.

"Josh, do you remember it all?" Alex skeptical.

"You don't trust me too much. I'm a bit clumsy compared to everyone, but I'm by no means a half-hearted person. ”

"Yes," I encouraged Josh when he was lonely, "Josh took the trouble to write down the exam questions and related content for us, and everyone should praise him." ”

Yi Jiahe ...... Thank you, thank you—"Happiness and sorrow?

"Alright," I stopped Josh's yelling and said to everyone, "Now that the information for the advanced exam is available, let's discuss what to do next?"

"What else can I do, find someone, find a magical creature, prepare a magic tool, and take the exam. Alex's words sounded like they were looking for fault with me, but when I thought about it, it was clear and concise.

First, find someone.

Xiao Hui, who planned to take the theory test, changed his original choice to take the practical test.

"Because, the theory test is a closed-book test, and the practical test is an open-book test. And, with all of you, I have the confidence to break through Class One, so that I can get closer to you. ”

If we pass the exam, Xiao Hui will become a second-level water magician, but everyone will also become a third-level magician, and the distance seems to remain the same.

Without striking Xiao Hui, I said to him, "Relax, this time you have the Dalai Crystal in your hand - the Dalai Crystal, the treasure of the Academy of Magic, may help you in the advanced exam." So, believe in yourself and you will definitely succeed. ”

"Well, I'm going to make it. ”

"You're going to make it. ”

Xiao Hui, who was excited, jumped out of bed and ran to the balcony and shouted: "I, Xiao Hui, will definitely succeed, break through the first class to the second level, and become a magician on an equal footing with everyone......"

"Okay, I'll do it too. Charlie ran to the balcony to go to school, Xiao Hui arched his hands in front of his mouth and shouted.

"I'm going to ...... too"

"The balcony is so big, if you go and kick it, they will squeeze to death. Alex exaggerated. The balcony of three out of ten bedrooms is not small, and eight people will not feel cramped together.

"I'm still going to take the theory test, so I'm sorry, I won't join the practical skills. Park Ji-woo said.

"Zhiyu, although you are all advanced after the theoretical exam, it is also a kind of cultivation to occasionally change the practical skill test. ”

Park Ji-woo smiled and said to Kojiro, who was also smiling, "The promotion exam is not a cultivation, please don't take the exam with such an idea, but fight hard with an all-out attitude." ”

"Yes. "Kojiro saluted, but it looked good.

When we redetermined the number of people in the team, Adam, who had been lying on the bed, got up and calmly announced, "I will give up taking this promotion exam." ”

The crowd was shocked.

"For me, Class 3 is enough, and it's my limit. I don't want to waste my time on promotion exams, but I want to spend my energy on my job after graduation. ”

"How do you know your limits without trying!" Charlie objected.

"yes. Moreover, class is a very important measure of the strength of a magician, isn't this something that you often talk about?

"It doesn't matter," Adam said as he lay back on the bed and turned his back to us, ignoring Park Ji-woo's worried gaze, "take care of yourselves, don't miss this opportunity, get to the heights you want to reach, and then surpass me." ”

"Oh, so you're waiting for us to catch up with you. Rest assured, I'll catch up with you, and then stomp you under your feet to let you know that I, Josh Walker, am a more powerful magician than you. Ahaha......" Josh's light-hearted speech added fuel to the fire, but it was amazing that his words also shifted our focus to another focus.

"As Josh said, Master Adam, you must not be discouraged and give up on the way forward. As our friend, if you fall behind us, how will you take care of us......?

"Adam is everyone's babysitter, haha......"

Slowly turning to Josh, who didn't open which pot to mention, I silently said to myself: "I want to say, after all, we are like brothers." ”

Excluding Park Ji-woo and Adam Sangster, the remaining six people form a team. Four people short of the minimum.

"Everyone, have you heard, the practical test of this advanced exam is an open-book exam, and even the exam questions have been released. Why, do you want me, a third-class magician, to be merciful......"

When I opened the door, I saw Ma Chao, who was rambling, and wanted him to calm down outside the door before coming in.

"Yi Jiahe, don't close the door. I'm here to ask if you need teammates—"

"Don't put your hand in the crack of the door that is about to close," I said to him, staring at Ma Chao with dead fish eyes, "Come in." It just so happens that we are short of people, count you in. ”

It seems that my kindness prompted Ma Chao to be unwary of me, and he sat on my bed without my consent. Forget it, I'm not a scheming person.

"Are there three left? Why don't I go find Yumiko Hata?" Kojiro's eyes lit up.

"Go ahead. "One more is one person.

Before I could finish speaking, Kojiro had already left the bedroom, and he hadn't even changed his kimono pajamas. Hey, Hata's in the girls' dormitory, right? Kojiro-kun, have a safe journey.

"Will Yu Jingjing come......" Xiao Hui's heart was always thinking about the tomboy - here he is a master of fighting.

"Are you dreaming," Alex struck Xiao Hui bluntly, "The student represents the fifth class, how can he team up with us?"

"Speaking of which, is there a class division for survival competition?"

"No," said Josh, "it doesn't have that on the bulletin board." ”

"Yes, how do I remember that it was clearly stated above that there is no class division in this advanced practical skill exam......"

"Isn't that what I said?"

Ma Chao said "uh" for a long time, and then said, "Yes." ”

Happily setting off and returning disheartened, Kojiro replied to us: "Yumiko said that she had teamed up with the students in her class. She also said that although there is no class division in this exam, there is a division of grades, which means that we in the third grade cannot team up with the students in the lower grades. ”

"That's ......," I thought for a while and said to Xiao Hui, "Hui, why don't you contact Yu Jingjing and see if she can help us advance." ”

"I've been contacted. Look, Yu Jingjing's voice transmission butterfly. ”

Following the direction of Park Ji-woo's finger, we saw a white butterfly flying on the balcony.

"To the 3rd out of 10 classmates, 2 out of 10 of my members were unable to be invited because they had already found friends to form a team for the exam, but after discussion, we decided to divide some members into your team. The list is as follows: Lilith Jones, Jin Yingying, Katrina Lange, and me, Yu Jingjing. ”

"Good!" Xiao Hui clenched his fists and exclaimed happily, only then noticing our evil smile and explaining, "I, I'm not ......"

"Although it's a pity that Yumiko Hata-chan didn't come, with the four classmates including her that Yu Jingjing said, we are already qualified to take the advanced exam. ”

I turned to Park Ji-woo again and said, "Thank you, Ji-woo, for doing a good job of delivering the message for us in advance." ”

"As part of three out of ten, it's right to help each other, after all, we're like brothers. ”

Ah, my lines......

"The number of people is up to the mark, the magic tools must be ready, and then the magical creatures......" I almost burst into tears at the thought of the ghost.

To add insult to injury, I learned that everyone already had magical creatures.

"Magicians, don't be scared to death for an hour. "Don't forget the latest chapter of the "Don't Forget the Blessing and Claw Book House of the Past in the Past" is free to read for the first time.
