Chapter 6: Survival of the fittest is king
October 1, 527 at 8:00 a.m
Today is the opening day of the Occupy Siwei Academy of Magic.
All the first-year students were gathered in the large hall of the Siwei Academy of Magic, densely packed with students. Many aristocratic young masters and young ladies are friends they have known since childhood, and when friends get together, they naturally talk more.
"You're here too!"
"Looks like we can play together again."
"yes, yes."
……
Suddenly, the auditorium fell silent, and all eyes turned to the podium.
An old man wearing a black hooded cloak covered in gold embroidery, with baggy glasses, a wrinkled face and a gray beard, was standing on the podium of the auditorium.
"I'm Divisway Tai, this is the dean of the Academy of Magic. Well...... Some of you are coming for the first time, and some are coming to this Great Hall for the second time, or more. Today is the first day of school, and there are a few things that must be here and again with you. Dean Siwei spoke slowly, but his voice was loud.
The old man grabbed it in the air with his hand, and a fat gray pigeon appeared in his hand. The pigeon struggled so hard that the dean could not grasp it with one hand. The dean smiled cutely: "Hahaha, Xiao Gray has gained a lot of weight, can you still fly when you are so fat?" ”
"Ash, could you please help send the instructions down, okay?"
Ash turned into a group of Ash in the blink of an eye, with a piece of paper in his mouth.
The admission instructions were accurately distributed to everyone present.
Meng Tianxing had heard all the instructions of this academy from her father, Meng Lou, and even the stories of her grandfather and Dean Zhan Siwei had been told several times when she was a child.
She guessed that other students would be forced to do the same by their parents.
Here's what's on paper.
Admission Notes:

Above. ”
Meng Tianxing carefully read the admission instructions, and took a special look at the reverse side of the paper.
The dean suddenly coughed violently, his glasses fell to the ground, and his face turned red, which made Meng Tianxing a little worried.
After a while, the dean breathed a sigh of relief, picked up his glasses and put them in his jacket pocket: "Hahaha, I'm old, haha." I would like to say that in three months, half of the students will leave the college, so please enjoy this student time. Above. ”
With that, the dean left through the small door on the side of the auditorium.
Meng Tianxing looked at the dean's figure walking like a fly, just looking at the back, he really couldn't tell that it was an eighty-year-old man.
Meng Tianxing has been indoctrinated and brainwashed by his father Meng Lou since he was a child, and he must become an excellent graduate of the Siwei Academy of Magic. She felt that this was already her mission, a task that she had to complete.
In fact, it's not just the dreamers who think so, but all the nobles of the Rose Kingdom think so.
The reason why the Rose Kingdom was able to survive surrounded by three powerful countries in the vicinity must be due to the powerful magical combat power possessed by the Rose Kingdom. And the factory that can output this powerful magical combat power is the Occupy Siwei Academy of Magic.
In addition to the fact that the king is hereditary, both the King of Magic and the twelve Inquisitors of the Council of the Twenty-Four must graduate from the Zosway Academy of Magic.
As long as they can become the outstanding graduates of the Occupy Siwei Academy of Magic, they will have the opportunity to challenge the Twelve Inquisitors and join the management of the Rose Kingdom, and their status is far higher than that of other nobles.
Although the Siwei Academy of Magic is nominally open to all citizens, its tuition fee is 500 gold a year. Five hundred gold is still a few days for a noble family to frown. The only people who can enter the academy may be nobles.
Every year, we receive tens of thousands of applications from young masters and young ladies between the ages of 14 and 22, and after a simple interview, only more than 8,000 children will be selected to be eligible to pay the tuition fees.
Don't think that after spending money, you can comfortably study in Occupy Siwei for a year. There will be three intensive examinations each academic year. Centralized examinations are conducted in one-on-one practice, and only the winning side is eligible to remain at the academy. Of course, tuition fees are non-refundable.
Most of the students and parents who were eliminated in the first session will not complain about anything, because all the basic courses will be handed over to them in the first three months, and whether they will learn or not is only a problem for the students themselves. Many aristocrats will joke: "It's just to let the child spend more money to participate in a magic winter camp, and it won't affect the opening of ordinary aristocratic schools in April." ”
They say so on their lips, but what they think in their hearts, everyone saves it.
Most of the more than 2,000 students eliminated in the second game will not hide their embarrassment like the previous students. They put in a lot of thought and energy, and they were eliminated, which is a very shameful thing for them and their parents. So every year at the beginning of April, there are a lot of violent incidents in the academy in order to reduce competitors.
One thing that will be different for the last exam is that all one-on-one lists will be announced a month in advance.
At this time, many students will keep sending money to the teachers who are out of the list in order to be able to play against people who are less capable than themselves.
Every year, the teachers who come out of the list are determined by lottery, so whether they can get a generous red envelope or not is completely determined by the lotter. The lottery winner is always Dean Zhan Siwei, so the red envelope will always go back to the dean. Imagine what it would be like for an old man with a cute laugh to hide in his office and count money.
In the end, only a thousand people can successfully complete the first year and then get a C-rank magic star badge. This star will be something they will always be willing to show off. These 1,000 students are eligible for the second year of intermediate courses, and one of the attractive incentives is that the top 50 students in the overall score will enjoy free tuition for the second year.
In the second year, the examination system was still the same, and only half of the students were left at a time. The last one left will receive a B-rank Magic Star Badge. Those who also rank in the top 10 in comprehensive scores can enjoy free tuition.
At the end of the third year, you can get the A-level magic star badge and become an outstanding graduate of Zhan Siwei.
At this time, he was already at the peak of his life.
The brutal system of survival of the fittest guarantees the quality of students at the Occupy Siwei Academy of Magic. Even if there is a money and power transaction, it does not touch the laws of the Kingdom.
Meng Tianxing walked out of the auditorium and heard the noise on the racetrack. Meng Tianxing walked to the racecourse and saw the senior students riding their horses, preparing for the first class exam.
It will be a second-year equestrian exam, with show jumping on one side and dressage on the other. The scores were given to the two equestrian teachers in charge of the first and second grades and the third grade.
Meng Tianxing looked at the time and saw that it was almost time, so she took the notebook and pencil case to her class, class 1 classroom.
A circular classroom with ring-shaped, stepped seating. It's hard to imagine that there are a thousand students in a class, and Meng Tianxing regrets going to the racecourse to see the senior class on the way here. She sighed and headed up the stairs.
The farther away she got from the podium, the heavier her heart became.
As soon as Meng Tianxing found an empty seat, a crisp and loud voice came from behind him: "Tianxing Tianxing!" Come here! I've got a seat for you, come here! ”
Meng Tianxing turned her head and saw Ying Xing standing in the third row waving to her, she saw the empty seat next to her and ran over like seeing a savior, and sat down quickly: "Xingzi, you are really amazing!" Meng Tianxing breathed a sigh of relief.
Meng Tianxing went to occupy Siwei with Meng Lou, but Meng Lou did not stay to help Meng Tianxing tidy up the dormitory, but was busy returning to the classroom lounge, saying that he was going to deal with many matters related to the opening of the school for Zhu Siwei.
Although Meng Tianxing arrived at the dormitory a day earlier than Ying Xing, Meng Tianxing's tidying up was too slow. When Ying Xing arrived at the dormitory, she hadn't sorted out her own part of the dormitory.
It was her mother, Xi Haitang, who sent Ying Xing to the college. Meng Tianxing fell in love with this super beautiful and temperamental aunt at first sight. With the help of Begonia, Ying Xing's things were quickly sorted out smoothly. Meng Tianxing couldn't help but start to envy Ying Xing for having such a great mother. Later, I heard Ying Xing say that such a beautiful and elegant woman was actually the sixth house of the twelve judges, the judge of the Virvy Palace. Hearing this, Meng Tianxing's eyes were already full of worship when he looked at Xihaitang again.
Xi Haitang smiled softly at Meng Tianxing: "Do you need help?" ”
Meng Tianxing nodded.
"Where's your family?"
"My dad said he was busy."
"It's okay, I'll help you, but you'll have to do it yourself in the future."
Meng Tianxing nodded obediently: "I know." ”
Ying Xing is the same age as Meng Tianxing, both are fourteen years old. For Meng Tianxing, who has no friends since she was a child, Ying Xing is her first friend.
Seeing Meng Tianxing coming over, Ying Xing was also relieved: "There was a man just now, he has to sit here, I won't let him die." Celestial, this is the seat I gave you in exchange for my life. You're going to have to be nice to me in the future. ”
Meng Tianxing looked at this cute roommate and smiled: "Well, I will be good to you." ”
