Chapter 50: The First Examination
On the day of the summer solstice, it finally arrived as promised.
Although Su Mu didn't know whether there was a Tropic of Cancer in this world, it was even more impossible to guess what was so special about the day of the summer solstice.
But obviously, this day may be just an ordinary day for the world.
But for Su Mu and Jiang Lan, they still have enough specialness.
Because today, it is the day of the enrollment assessment of the Northern Academy of Magic.
And after a day ago, Su Mu's hunger marketing that changed its price three times, and now Su Mu and the two of them naturally have already settled the cost of the assessment.
Even when the fees were completely settled, Jiang Lan was extremely shocked to discover:
At this moment, the funds that were left over and deposited in the Trade Covenant alone were still as many as a thousand gold coins.
directly changed the two who were originally poor and sorrowful, and instantly turned over and became local tyrants.
And it is precisely because of this that for such a strong instantaneous gold-absorbing ability as "Alchemist M", the Trade Covenant immediately issued Su Mu the qualification of a gold member.
I hope that Su Mu will be able to purchase and consign any commodity in the trade covenant anytime and anywhere from now on.
However, with regard to the ardent hope of the trade covenant, neither Su Mu nor Jiang Lan had any idea of continuing to make alchemists to make money.
After all...... What can really reverse fate is the assessment in front of you after all!
......
Outside the gate of the academy branch, at the top of the tall column of pure white, two trickles poured down from the top of the column, and in the middle of the air, they transformed into huge words.
"The Magic Academy of the Northern Realm, Admissions Assessment!"
Obviously, it is the same method used by the branch office of the academy as the fountain in the central square, so that the flowing water can be transformed into such a smart and joyful text.
And with the two illusions, today's college branch office has long ceased to accept other affairs. Even the enrollment of the Knight Branch, which will be carried out in three days, has been temporarily suspended.
The entire academy is working wholeheartedly, preparing for the next magic assessment.
In this way, under such a solemn formation, even those rich sons who were full of gold plating and did not report any expectations were still slightly nervous after all.
And at this moment, when a group of rich sons were enjoying the adoring gaze of girls of the same age, and pretending to be comfortable walking towards the door of the branch.
In the group of girls behind them, there was a sudden burst of surprise noise.
When the rich sons heard this, they immediately turned their heads in confusion.
I saw that all the girls were shy and kept looking in the same direction. It seemed that in that direction, something was making them blush and their hearts beat.
And the rich boys followed the sight again, but saw that the one who wantonly harvested the girls' eyes was a boy who was as delicate as an elf in the sun.
And the boy himself, along with his companions, was also walking towards the academy office.
......
There is no doubt that this boy with an excessively delicate appearance, and the companions beside him, are Su Mu and Jiang Lan who came to refer to it.
Because of the embarrassment that Su Mu experienced three days ago.
Therefore, in this world, Su Mu naturally will not come in a burqa again.
And it is also because of the fact that today's Su Mu and Jiang Lan are no longer shy in their pockets. The two of them had already been in the tailor shop in the city and rushed to make two sets of expensive dresses.
So under the backdrop of the clothes, Su Mu's already outstanding appearance was naturally more and more prominent.
And it wasn't until this moment that the group of rich sons recognized that Jiang Lan next to Su Mu was not the down-and-out alchemist in the city.
So in an instant, this group of people who were robbed of the limelight in front of the girl immediately thought about which aspect to use to regain face.
I saw that Barrow, who had just joined the "magic upstart", was already obligated to stand up at this moment.
And it was directly blocked on the way that Su Mu and Jiang Lan were advancing.
even said with a malicious face:
"Jiang Lan, I remember that joke of yours alchemy, it seems that no one will buy it at all. You and a friend like you who came from an unknown source came here dressed decently, could it be that you want to hook up with a rich lady?"
Obviously, this man named Barrow is a completely reckless man who doesn't understand the amorous feelings.
He didn't realize at all that his companions were all trying to compete for favor in front of the girls, so he wanted to give Su Mu a little color.
On the contrary, it was a sentence that offended all the rich ladies.
As for Barrow's self-seeking behavior, of course Su Mu didn't want to pay attention to him, so he directly relied on his fighting skills to turn back, and after dragging Jiang Lan, he easily shook off Barrow's block.
Even when Barrow reacted, Su Mu and the others had already stepped directly into the academy branch office in his puzzled eyes.
It's like ...... You have to participate in this year's college assessment!
And no matter how angry Barrow is, he doesn't dare to collide with the assessment system head-on after all.
Since Su Mu and the others were able to enter the branch office smoothly. It shows that the two of them have indeed paid enough fees and are also able to participate in the college assessment.
......
And with the entry of Su Mu and the others, the rich children who had long lost the admiration of the girls naturally entered the assessment site in a gray manner.
I saw that in the assessment hall of the branch office at this time, there were no less than 100 candidates standing there.
Obviously, the magic apprentices who really participated in this assessment, in addition to the rich children in Maz City, there were actually a large number of unknown people.
is even this group of people who are both unknown and can grit their teeth and pay the high fees.
They are also the real strong competition of Su Mu in this assessment.
And it was just when everyone gathered, and the clever clock hanging high in the hall finally rang the ninth bell. A middle-aged man in a decent dress walked out slowly.
And this person, everyone in the room obviously knows it.
Because he was the middle-aged man who seemed to be just a receptionist when he accepted the application.
However, at this moment, since it is still presided over by this man in such an important assessment place in the academy, it has undoubtedly been explained that the identity of this middle-aged man is not simple.
Sure enough, after the middle-aged man looked around at everyone, he also introduced himself for the first time:
"I am the head of the Northern Magic Academy and the branch office in Maz City, and Mo Fan, a fourth-order summoning mage in the Chinese character, and I will arrange your next assessment process. ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately looked at Mo Fan in surprise.
After all, no one thought that the seemingly ordinary middle-aged man in front of him was already a full-fledged mage realm of the fourth order of Chinese characters.
And as Mo Fan's words fell, everyone was also shocked by his name, and there was no more noise for half a minute.
Mo Fan also lightly touched his finger to a certain mechanism beside him, and slowly injected those essence qi that he was subtly controlling into a certain magic skill.
Then there was a crunch of gears turning, and it couldn't stop coming from everyone's feet.
Then the rows of metal tables and chairs that rose flat on the ground were neatly arranged in front of everyone's eyes in the jagged rotation of countless gears.
It wasn't until this moment that everyone was stunned to find out that the huge assessment hall in front of them was actually constructed by alchemy.
However, before everyone came back to their senses, Mo Fan, who touched the alchemy device, was already in the confusion of everyone and spoke again.
And what he said at this time was a development that all the assessors present could not have thought of:
"After the resolution of the Northern Academy of Magic and the Teaching and Research Department, they believe that the previous method of student selection has lagged behind this era. Therefore, in order to optimize the selection of candidates, this assessment award adopts a new method, which is divided into preliminary examination, practice, and final review. ”
"And now what we have to do is the first test of this year's assessment, that is...... The so-called written test!"
