On the morning of October 5th, just as the Duobang selection battle began, the final exams of the Luther School of Magic and Magic officially began.

Mick and the other first-year students were sitting in the classroom in the Fundamentals of Magic, answering the questions of the exam paper in front of them.

During this nearly a year of study, Sophia taught them in detail the basics of becoming a first-order magician, the main content of which was the structure of magic and the weaving of simple magic patterns.

The total score of the test paper is 100 points, and there are three types of questions, namely translation questions, question and answer questions, and essay questions, and a total score of 70 points is considered to be passed.

The translation question is a simple question for identifying magic runes, which tests the most basic magical knowledge, which is of course just a piece of cake for Mick, and he immediately writes and completes the answer.

The questions and answers are all about the basics of magic, and they are nothing more than the content of Sophia and books during class, such as "Writing the magic formula of the first-order magic 'earth wall technique'", etc., of course, there are also more difficult questions, such as "Answering the basic principles of the magic array effect". However, Mick's quill in his hand did not stop until the last essay question.

It's just that at this time, Mick stopped the pen in his hand, looked at the five-word question and was stunned: "What is magic?" ”

The question of what magic is is clearly defined in the books of the Fundamentals of Magic course, that is, "Magic is the power of living beings to construct elements through mental power and magic array". But will the question be so simple? Mick doesn't think so, the current general theory is the result of discussions in the Hexagram Council, but Sophia has told them that there is never an absolute truth in the wizarding world, and the so-called general theory is just the definitive conclusion of the current human race, and it may be overturned in the next moment.

After a moment of thought, Mick began to write, beginning with a completely different idea from the mainstream view: "I believe that magic is not a power, but a means by which man knows the origin of the world. Before human beings mastered magic, their understanding of the world only stayed at the most superficial level of 'things', and it was through magic that human beings were able to touch the inner layer of this world, that is, the 'spirit'. However......"

The sand in the hourglass passed slowly, and when the last grain of sand fell, the first written test was officially over, and Mick reluctantly handed the paper in front of Sophia, feeling a little unfinished.

And just before the end of the first written test, Clare had already led the team to win the first game easily.

The written test for the second course was held two days later, and compared to the basic course of magic, the history of magic class was pure memorization knowledge, which was naturally not a problem for magicians, and even Brandon successfully coped with it with the surprise review of the last two days, in short, his expression when he walked out of the examination room was not as uneasy as the last exam.

As for the third elective course, it is asked by each tutor, generally speaking, as long as the relationship with the tutor is not bad, as long as you are a little more serious, you can easily achieve excellent results.

When the three exams had been completed for a week, news kept coming from Duo Bang, all of which were expected victories, and the first-year students were very excited, and the seniors seemed to be no stranger.

The final test is only a practical assessment, which varies from grade to grade and is generally conducted outside of school. However, due to the recent homicide case, it was finally placed in the academy for the safety of the students.

In the end, Sophia announced the content of the first-grade practical assessment to everyone, but she didn't expect that the group ranking of the sports meeting at the beginning was also included in the assessment of the practical assessment, but the proportion was only ten percent, and the rest of the content was carried out in the training ground of the Jones Pavilion, and it was actually to catch the monster named "Feather Mouse" as much as possible in an hour, and if you catch more than ten, it will be a full score, and it is quite malicious that five people will enter each training ground at the same time, and it does not prevent the robbery.

Seven months have passed, and most of the students' mental power seems to have improved a lot, leaving only a small number of people whose mental power is still at the level of first-order magicians, if they can't become second-order magicians before the start of school in March next year, I'm afraid they will have to study in the first grade for another year.

When Mick entered one of the training grounds, four figures immediately appeared next to him, one of whom was a yawning teenager, Mick turned out to be one of the first year super freshmen Nigles.

Although Nigles was in the limelight in the football game, he never appeared in everyone's field of vision after the football game, and he was not at all like Kenneth and Rickon who "made waves" in the college, and many people even forgot that he was still a figure among the first-year freshmen.

The other three immediately gave Mick a wary look at him, and then immediately left the place to start the exam. But Negles walked forward unhurriedly, and Mick was a little curious, so he went to walk with him and greeted, "Hello." ”

Negles stretched out his double fish bubble eyes and looked Mick up and down, as if he had no impression of Mick at all, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Uh...... Mick Hilud, we've seen it at the football game. ”

"Really? Oh. Negles nodded, and without asking Mick why he was talking to him, he continued along the trail.

At this time, the simulated environment of the training ground is not a deep forest, but an ordinary forest, and there is a slight sound in the grass from time to time.

However, Negles didn't seem to be in a hurry to catch it, and simply walked through the woods, and Mick couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you even pass the first round in the selection battle?" ”

"Trouble." Nigles said without looking back.

Mick only thought Negles was talking about himself, so he apologized embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I offended." With that, he walked away from Negles to catch the feathered squirrel.

"......" and Negles turned around strangely after hearing Mick's apology, looked at Mick's back and opened his mouth, because he was troublesome, he didn't stop Mick, and continued to walk slowly forward alone.

The reason why Nigles did not advance in the first round of the selection was that he was afraid of trouble, and he lost his number plate less than ten minutes after entering the field, and voluntarily abstained from the competition. Of course, based on his ability as a magician alone, Negles may not necessarily be able to enter the second round.

Of course, the feathered rats in the training ground were not simulated, but were specially borrowed from the Warcraft breeding house. Although it is a rat-like monster, the feathered rat is loved by humans for its cute appearance and petite size, and is often kept as a pet. The Feathered Mouse is only a weak first-order magical beast, but it is petite, agile, and able to use wind-based first-order magic to accelerate movement, so it is not easy to catch.

But that's just for ordinary people, the students here and now are all excellent magicians, many of them have grown into second-order magicians, and it is not difficult to catch ten feathered rats, and it should take a little time to pass the exam after using first-order magic. And what they really have to face is the classmates who are in the same training ground.

Everyone had a special cage issued by the Enchanted Breeding House before entering, and there was space in it for about twenty feathered rats, and Mick was able to easily catch four of them with a simple ground binding technique, and it was only a matter of luck to complete the exam. In Mick's opinion, since they are all classmates, why bother each other? It was almost the same as helping each other, so half an hour later, Mick had completed the task of catching ten feathered rats, but he was still looking for traces of feathered rats in the forest, thinking that if someone couldn't complete it, he could help a little bit.

However, apparently not everyone thinks this way, Marcas is, and so is Negles.

Just when there were fifteen minutes left in the exam, the prompt of the spirit of space sounded, so Negles approached the girl he had been following slowly, and said straight to the point: "Well, can you give me ten feathered rats you caught?" ”

The girl was naturally indignant at this kind of open robbery, and frowned and said to Negles: "Why don't you catch it yourself?" ”

"Trouble." Negles replied simply and clearly.

"You think I'll give it to you so easily?"

"Hmm...... Never mind. When the girl heard Negles say this, she thought he had dismissed the idea of snatching, but unexpectedly, a magic circle of freezing magic appeared on the wand in Negles's hand, and immediately froze the lower half of the student's body.

"You, you're robbing!"

"The professor didn't say that he couldn't do this...... "Negles didn't show the rest of his expression on his face, and persuaded him, "I'll take ten, don't worry, I won't lie to you." ”

The girl was so angry that she couldn't stop crying, but Negles took the cage from her hand as if she didn't see it, and then took ten feathered rats from the cage, no more, no less.

Seeing that the girl's eyes in front of him were red and swollen from crying, Negles returned the cage with four bamboo rats left to her, and wondered: "I only took ten, why are you so sad?" ”

After saying that, Negles lifted the freezing effect on her body, and the girl sat on the ground and cried sadly, and this scene happened to be seen by Mick who was passing by.

Mick frowned, walked over to the two of them, looked at Negles and asked, "Did something happen?" ”

"I took ten of her feathered squirrels, and then she cried." Negles, on the other hand, was honest and did not feel that he had made any mistake.

"Woo woo, you obviously snatched it! Woo woo......" The girl sat on the ground and pointed at Negles aggrievedly and said loudly, but tears couldn't stop welling up in her eyes.

Mick crouched down, took out a handkerchief from the Ring of Darkness and handed it to the girl, then comforted her, "How many more have you caught?" I can give you some here. ”

The girl took Mick's handkerchief and wiped the tears from her face, counted the feathered squirrels in the cage, and glared at Negles angrily, "There are only four left!" ”

Mick, who had already caught a cage of feather rats, immediately took out six of them from the cage and gave them to the girl in front of her, although the girl was very grateful for Mick's help, she still glared at Negles angrily, and then asked Mick's name and dormitory and left the place immediately, probably because she didn't want to see Negles again.

Mick looked at Negles in disbelief and asked, "Why would you go to grab a girl's feathered squirrel?" ”

And Negles simply replied with a paralyzed face: "Because of the effort." ”

"Because you can grab the fruits of a girl's labor because you save effort?!" Mick, who has always adhered to the spirit of an aristocratic gentleman, could not understand.

"Hmm." Nigelus nodded honestly.

Mick blinked, not knowing what to say.

But Negles tilted his head, as if remembering something, and said, "Well, you're that, that...... Who's coming? ”

Mick didn't want to say anything for a moment.
