Chapter 90 Special Assessment
Objective and fair evaluation, Elizabeth is simply a "strong woman", since the day she became the dean of Jackdaw Castle, she quickly established her prestige with an iron fist, and then rose all the way, so many years, no one can shake her status, even if our dean is obsessed with astral exploration, often "go out and never return", the aftermath she left behind is enough to deter one party.
For example, some hidden enemies, not to mention the barbarian tribes in the tundra wasteland, the major families and various forces from the Holy Federation, if they want to be unfavorable to Jackdaw Castle, the first thing they consider is not the public opinion of the outside world, nor the counterattack of the academy itself, but "What will happen when that woman returns?" "What if that woman finds out? "How do we deal with her fire?" "Blah blah.
Of course, the female dean has made a lot of enemies over the years, and she has never taken anyone seriously, but there are still some friends.
At least, everyone on the surface knows that Elizabeth has always been friendly with the federal royal family, and the current monarch, Iverson the Great, is her best friend.
The top of the tower, on the platform.
"I'll meet Iverson, Douglas, and I'll leave the academy to you for the time being." Elizabeth stretched her arms and smiled back.
"Dean, please rest assured." Douglas nodded, completely devoid of the majesty of the past, at the moment he was like a shopkeeper, but he seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly asked: "Today seems to be the day when you recruit closed disciples, what about that special assessment?" β
"I'll leave it to you, too." After that, a pair of playful and cute aqua blue slippers under the feet of the legendary dean released a little light blue starlight, a rainbow composed of seven colors, extending outward like lightning from his feet, through the clouds, and straight to the sky.
Behind Douglas, BeyoncΓ©, Hopkins, and a group of student executives...... They were dumbfounded.
Below, on the college square, many students raised their heads and immediately exclaimed.
"Look, rainbow!"
"Stupid, this is a rainbow, this is the legendary spell Rainbow Bridge, which is used to directly break through the crystal wall and travel to the plane!"
"I'll go, look at the direction of this rainbow bridge, it's obviously leading to the Holy Federation, what's going on?"
"Then you don't have to think about it, it must be the dean's temporary preparation to go out!"
"Well, to go to the Holy Federation, you actually need to use a legendary spell like the Rainbow Bridge? Isn't that a bit too exaggerated? β
Everyone said a word, only to see the legendary dean turn into a light blue meteor, along the rainbow bridge, quickly disappeared into the sky.
Lin Yang was also mixed in the crowd at the moment, and his heart was suddenly a little speechless, I am afraid that there is only this woman in the whole world who can use the Rainbow Bridge like this. It seems that he bargained with Elizabeth for the braineater in the main hall that day, and he was simply on the verge of life and death, and it was easier for the other party to pinch himself to death than to pinch an ant to death.
β¦β¦
School of Magic.
There were a hundred people waiting in the spacious hall at the moment, all of them were outstanding students from all over the college, and Lin Yang was among them.
Everyone gathered here for only one purpose, to pass that "special assessment" and become a closed disciple of the female dean.
As we all know, the legendary dean recruits closed disciples, never considering the family background, only looking at talent, even if you sit on the throne of Iverson the Great at the moment, you don't have enough strength, it's useless to cut your throat, and if a person really has talent, even if the family is surrounded by four walls, he can still be admitted.
It's just that at this moment, everyone has a question in their hearts: the dean has just left, who will preside over this special assessment?
"Ladies and gentlemen, the dean has left for some time, and it is the old man who is presiding over this assessment today." Douglas strode in with his head held high.
Everyone was in awe, stood in formation, and cheered up the spirit.
Douglas said: "First of all, you must understand that if you become a disciple of the dean, you will get a lot of preferential treatment!" In addition, you must also know that not everyone has this talent, even if all 100 people in the audience are not selected, do not be surprised, this is a common thing! Did you hear it all? β
"Hear me clearly!" A group of people shouted in unison, and many people had already shown fanaticism in their eyes, and becoming a closed disciple meant that they had officially stepped into the door of the Sage Totem.
"Very well, let's get started!"
Unlike hunting the extraterritorial barbarians in the tundra wasteland three years ago, this assessment is indeed a bit different.
In the first level, Douglas takes everyone into a secret room, asks everyone to close their eyes, try to sense the magical elements in the air around them, and then record them with the pen and paper in front of them.
As soon as they closed their eyes, many frowned.
"Oh my God, I've been sensing for a long time, and I haven't noticed anything!"
"This ...... This room is almost vacuum, and there is no magic element at all! β
"It's an incredible miracle! Magical elements pervade every corner, whether mountains, rivers, plains, highlands, or oceans...... It's just a matter of richness and rarity, and here there is absolutely no such thing! β
Lin Yang slowly closed his eyes, and like everyone else, he couldn't help frowning.
Douglas smiled coldly and strode out of the secret room onto a platform.
On the platform is a one-way magic mirror, which allows you to see what is going on inside from the outside, but not the outside from the inside.
At this moment, three familiar figures stood on the platform, and they were none other than the three former closed disciples of the dean, Sarah, Osinger, and Jones. There was also a young man with an indifferent expression, staring quietly at the situation in the secret room, not saying a word.
"Hello mentor." When the four saw Douglas coming up, they greeted each other.
Douglas smiled at the four of them and looked at the young man with a cold expression, "Newn, how have you been studying with Cicero lately?" β
"The progress is not fast, and it seems to have hit a bottleneck." Newn said lightly.
Douglas smiled and said: "You four closed disciples, only you have the talent to learn the Sage Totem, and Cicero is the only totem mentor in Jackdaw Castle who can draw the Sage Totem by hand, there are many genius disciples taught by the Dean, and there are many of them who have reached the legendary level, but there has never been a Totem Master, you are the most valued child by the Dean!" β
"I'll try." Nunn smiled.
Sarah, Osinger, and Jones looked indifferent, they were not from famous families in the first place, and it was already the greatest honor to be able to become a closed disciple, and they would not covet anything. At that moment, the three of them looked at Lin Yang in the secret room in unison, and when they learned the news of Lin Yang's return a few days ago, the three of them were still a little surprised, but now they sweated for him at the same time.
As early as three years ago, these three people predicted that Lin Yang would become their "junior brother", and if Lin Yang lost the election today, he would undoubtedly lift a stone and hit himself in the foot.
β¦β¦
His eyes were closed, and there was darkness and nothingness around him.
If you are in the outside world, there will be some colorful points of light around you, such as the earth element representing yellow, the fire element representing red, and the water element representing blue......
And right now, there really isn't anything.
Lin Yang sensed carefully, and after a few minutes, there was still no result.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, and his palm pressed to the ground!
A miracle happened, a faint trace of colorful light actually slowly emerged from the stone bricks on the ground and seeped into his body!
"I see!" Lin Yang laughed in his heart: "What a special assessment, it is really insidious enough, all the energy absorbing stones we stepped on are energy-absorbing stones, absorbing all the magic elements in the surrounding air, what else can we sense?" β
Thinking of this, Lin Yang didn't stop any longer, wrote his answer on the pen and paper in front of him, and strode out.
β¦β¦
"That's your answer?" Douglas asked, holding the roll of paper and frowning.
"Yes." Lin Yang nodded.
"Are you sure?" Douglas asked again.
"Sure, yes, yes."
"Congratulations, you passed the first level." Douglas chuckled, and Sarah, Ossinger, and Jones behind him were also relieved, while Newne still had a cold expression.
β¦β¦
After the first assessment, most of the people were brushed down, and only about 40 remained.
Next, the control of magic, physical fitness, imagination and creativity, the steadiness of hands, and the eyesight are tested one by one, and it is getting more and more difficult, and more and more people are brushed down.
Soon it was time for the final hurdle, and there were only six people left on the scene.
This level is the most peculiar, why do you say that? Since he didn't need to do anything, Douglas handed down a few blank pieces of paper and said in a loud voice, "Write down the reasons why you want to become a closed disciple." β
The first person wrote: In order to become a totemist! He was blown away.
The second person wrote: In order to study more advanced magic, completely immerse yourself in the world of magic! He was dissuaded.
The third person wrote: In order to get ahead, in order to become stronger! As a result, he still lost the election, crying and shouting and being dragged down by several guards.
The fourth person wrote: In pursuit of Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Irani Horns Victoria! Vow to marry her! This guy is the funniest, Douglas directly waved his hand, opened a portal, sent him back to his hometown, and gave advice: "It's for your own good to let you quit school, otherwise you will die in the wrath of the dean sooner or later." β
The fifth person wrote: For fame and beauty! It was a girl, and Douglas talked to her alone for a few minutes, and just when everyone thought she had passed, she cried and ran out the door.
Then there was Lin Yang, who sat on the ground and thought about it for a long time, and finally started writing, and simply wrote a sentence: do nothing.
"Pass!" Douglas just glanced at it and announced the results.
Sarah, Osinger, and Jones walked up together and shook hands with Lin Yang cordially and hugged him.
Lin Yang smiled, the emotion at this moment almost soaked his eyes, if in the entire academy, who were still the students he knew three years ago, there were only three people left.
Nunn also walked over, shook Lin Yang's hand, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, you will be our little junior brother in the future." β
"Please take care of me!" Lin Yang bowed.
β¦β¦
After everyone left, Lin Yang came to Douglas and asked, "Mentor, do I have the talent to learn the Sage Totem?" β
"This ......" Douglas looked at the evaluation form of Lin Yang's talents in all aspects in his hand, and frowned: "This matter, only wait for the dean to come back and make a decision, who can learn the sage totem, it is not me who has the final say, but the dean has the final say." However, with the talent you are currently showing, it is no problem to become a closed disciple, and you want to become a totem master...... It's still a bit unqualified, you have to be mentally prepared. β
"Hmm." Lin Yang knew very well in his heart that in the assessment of individual links in the middle, he had indeed only reached the passing line.
