Chapter 130: Lena Donavan (2)
Today is the entrance exam and entrance ceremony of the Holy Falcon Empire Wizarding Academy. We don't have to carry our luggage today, we just need to rush to the Wizarding Academy before eight o'clock in the morning.
Big Brother Gustav had escorted Aegie to Falkenridge's Guild City, where the Simic United Falkenridge Chapter was located. As far as I know, the entrance exam for Simic Union was also at eight o'clock, and Josh couldn't understand why Aegie had left so early - the hotel we were staying at wasn't far from Guild City.
In response to our question, Big Brother Gilhardt explained it this way: "Today is a special day for Falkenridge, not only the Holy Falcon Empire Wizard Academy, but also the guilds, the Astrology Society, the Alchemist Guild, and the Monster Hunter Investigation Group are all recruiting students today, so today's Falkenridge will be like a pot of soup, full of people. ”
"I still don't get it." Josh said, scratching at his hair. I immediately grabbed Josh's claws off and sneered, "When did you get it, Josh?" Oh, sorry, I forgot you knew that you were naughty and trying to play tricks on people. ”
Josh was a little delighted and said, "Hey! Lena, you've finally discovered my strengths! I had to roll my eyes and immediately retort to him: "God, you are still complacent because of this? I've now discovered another of your strengths, and that's how shameless you are! In this regard, you are really better than your father. ”
"Alright, Lena, Josh, we're ready to go! Seeing the flow of people in the hotel, the road will be very crowded, but luckily we have a carriage. Also, Josh. The reason why Aiji went so early was because there were too many guilds in Guild City, and if he didn't go early, he was afraid that he would have to queue up until noon! Now, we have to go! Big Brother Gilhardt urged.
Josh and I got into the carriage together, and Brother Gilhardt drove slowly to the location of the Holy Falcon Empire's wizarding academy.
Sure enough, the wide road of Falkenridge was crowded with people at this time. Even the carriage could only move slowly. After nearly half an hour of weaving through the flow of people, we saw the castle where the Holy Falcon Empire's Wizarding Academy was located.
The entire castle was shrouded in a layer of lilac circles, like a purple hat.
The carriage couldn't move in front of the castle's drawbridge, so Josh and I, led by Big Brother Gilhardt, parked the carriage at a makeshift stop in front of the drawbridge—there were a large number of wagons, dozens of them. I made a cursory identification, and there was no shortage of big nobles and even royal coats of arms.
At the entrance of the drawbridge there are four stone statues, three people tall, holding huge spears and halberds in their hands. Beneath the statue were ten registered wizards, and all the students who were going to take the entrance exams left the guards or escorts and lined up in front of the drawbridge. After being registered by the wizard in charge of registration, one by one they enter the castle.
"Lena, Josh, I can only send you here, you can go and line up yourself, but I will wait for you here all the time, I am sure that you will not be eliminated by the exam, and you will definitely participate in the entrance ceremony in the afternoon."
Josh and I nodded and joined the line.
The flow of people was moving quickly, and it wasn't long before it was Josh's turn—of course, he was one ahead of me.
"Name?" The wizard in charge of registration didn't raise his eyelids.
Josh was particularly dissatisfied with the wizard's attitude, so his eyes grunted, and he decided not to cooperate. So he whispered, "Joshua." ”
"Please give me my full, official name. Or are you a civilian? You don't dress like a commoner, the dagger on your leggings is made of steel, you're a nobleman. The wizard still didn't lift his eyelids.
Josh was surprised and said, "Oops! How do you know? ”
"Please don't waste time, this is my skill as a wizard, as long as you can pass the exam, you will also have your own skills. Now, please name it. Also, don't show off your poor mana in front of me, you must know that when you enter this door, you are a wizard, not a nobleman, and you have also seen that the identity of the nobleman is not convincing here, this is the Holy Falcon Empire Wizard Academy. ”
It seems that I don't need to teach Josh a lesson, and the wizard in charge of registration has already given Josh a dismissal.
Josh had no choice but to smuggle, "Joshua Donavan Wolf." ”
"Oh, Michael Donavan and Lena Vance's eldest son, Slava Wolf's godson, right? You can go in, take your nameplate, you are number 27, cross the suspension bridge and turn left, number three martial arts arena, next! ”
The wizard handed Josh a small nameplate, and I stepped forward.
Without waiting for the wizard to speak, I told him, "Lena Donavan Wolf, second daughter of Michael Donavan and Lena Vance, godson of Slava Wolf." ”
"Very good, your nameplate, you are No. 28, cross the suspension bridge and turn right, No. 6 martial arts field."
I nodded in acknowledgment, then walked across the drawbridge and walked the opposite path to Josh.
To the right of the drawbridge is a corridor, but at a fork in the road, I hesitated, and there was no sign here. I had to read the instructions on the sign, which was not easy, and the handwriting on it was a bit illegible.
As soon as I fumbled to read the correct instructions, I saw a man in his mid-thirties.
He had well-groomed hair, but he had a bare upper body, and his right hand dragged his clothes casually around his neck. Seeing me standing here, he raised an eyebrow at me with his left eye, then raised his left hand with a slightly casual movement and said to me, "Yo! Hello, Miss. I nodded awkwardly to him, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he smiled softly at me—revealing half of his teeth and his pretty beard.
My heart was beating a little faster, and I didn't dare to look into his shining eyes, so I had to lower my head and hurriedly dodge. The man didn't say much, just politely turned to the side and made way for me.
It didn't take long for me to arrive at the No. 6 martial arts arena. There were many tables in the arena, and six wizards and witches sat in the front. "It's Miss Donavan, isn't it? Please come and we're going to start assessing you, and it's about whether or not you can actually get the entrance qualifications. Rest assured, the assessment will not be difficult, unless your level is only a little better than the average person. ”
I stepped forward and saluted the examiners: "Good morning, examiners, shall we start immediately?" ”
A kind old witch said, "Oh, you want to rest and calm down first?" Of course you can. ”
I thought for a moment, smiled, and said, "Ma'am, I think, it's not necessary, let's start right away!" ”
