Chapter 52: Actual Measurements (Part II)
The exams continued, and the next exams unfolded in an orderly manner, as the examiners had expected.
After a long period of time, until the evening, more than 100 students had passed the assessment, and after 54 students were admitted, the actual test finally came to an end.
It was only now that the name that Sidney cared so much about was finally called.
"Banner Adrian. β
The door was pushed open.
The emaciated blonde boy looked like he hadn't slept well, his face was pale, his eye sockets were deep, and his expression was cold. When he looked at the examiner, he only bowed slightly, and sat down in front of the stone tablet.
Sidney was stunned for a moment, and was about to say something, when he saw Banner close his eyes.
He closed his eyes and muttered something in a low voice.
Immediately after, the stele released an unprecedented light!
οΌ
In the silver light, the image on the stele is no longer a blurry point of light, but an abstract pattern like the skull of a wild beast.
On that pattern, the hideous beast skull grinned, leaving a silhouette of generalization. There was a vague crack in the eye socket of the skull, causing the examiners to breathe heavily.
Sidney was stunned.
"The sign of 'Call of the Wild', is he already an official second-class musician?"
Bane stared at the stele for a long time, and sighed regretfully: "I'm afraid not, the sign is still too vague, and he is still at the first level." β
"But a claw rift?"
Someone asked in a low voice, "Is he only seventeen years old and has begun to breed his own beast?"
"It may be Adrian's musician who passed on his 'beast' to him. Don't forget, the Adrians have always been one of the representatives of the School of Summoning. β
"It's also possible. The examiner sighed softly: "Even if the manticore is relatively tame, it is not easy to control the animality at this age." β
Finally, all the examiners looked at Sidney. Sidney laughed contentedly.
"Very well, you've lived up to expectations, Banner, and your brother will be proud of you. β
Sidney said in a solemn voice, "Congratulations, you have been accepted into the Academy's Summoning School. This is the most elite faction in the entire academy, inheriting the core knowledge and music score of the academy. I hope you keep working hard and don't slack off. β
Banner got up and stroked his chest in return, the etiquette perfect.
Sidney and Bane looked at each other and chuckled softly.
Succeed with flying colors.
"Next is the last one, is it the child of which family?"
The examiner looked at the last name: "More solemn than the children of the Adrians?"
"Just a kid from the East. Someone who knows the inside story sighed: "Don't be nervous, let's go through the motions for the principal." β
"Is that the civilian?" the examiner understood: "Mr. Bach sent it?"
"Who knows. Another shrugged: "Mr. Bach hasn't been heard from for several years." I'm afraid that Mr. Headmaster stayed behind and deliberately blocked us, right?"
"Gentlemen, be decent. β
Sidney glanced sideways at them, "You are the teachers of the academy, and you are responsible for recruiting new blood. β
The examiners were stunned for a moment and laughed. They tacitly bowed their heads, yes, the heavy responsibility of recruiting new blood is on their shoulders, and what they have to do is only to admit new blood.
"Next, Ye Qingxuan. β
The door was pushed open.
Then everyone's eyes fell.

When the teenagers walked into the exam room, all the examiners' glasses were shattered to the ground - if they were wearing them at all.
Originally, these people were all ready to show a cold expression, with a cold expression, a cold look in their eyes, and a cold expression...... is going to throw the cold face to the bone to this ignorant little ghost, so that he can understand that the academy is not a place where people like him can go wild.
But when they saw this guy, they felt that they were hallucinating:
What the hell is this?!
For hundreds of years, there have been modest and simple, low-key and pragmatic students who have entered this school, as well as geniuses who are proud of their talents and have no spare eyes, and there is even no shortage of special talents who wear black and white prison uniforms and shackles to take the exam.
But today...... For the first time, someone looked like they were being carried over from the operating table.
In the center of the examination room, the young man's face was pale, covered in bandages, and exuded a pungent smell of potion.
He was holding a cane, and his right leg and arm were covered with plaster cast on which two turtles were drawnβand even his fingers were wrapped in gauze.
Except for his face exposed, he looked like a mummy in other places.
It's like being run over by several carriages, bandaged on the spot, and then quickly sent to the examination room while the people were still hot!
ββIs this going to die in the examination room!?
β...... This candidate, you ...... It's all right. β
Bane was afraid that he would spit out a mouthful of old blood, and then the whole person hung here.
"Uh, I'm fine. β
Ye Qingxuan squeezed out a smile, and the abrasions on his face twitched: "I'm sorry, I was hit by a carriage yesterday, and I almost missed the time." I was still late when I came, but luckily I didn't miss the exam. β
He tried hard to make an energetic movement, but the movement was too big and pulled the wound, and his face twitched in pain: "Please don't worry, I'm ready." β
But the examiners' faces were ugly, they had prepared their poisonous tongues and eyes, ready to pick out every flaw in him, and give this guy who didn't know the times a shot.
At the very least, let him understand what kind of place this is. If he dared to express his displeasure on the support of the principal, then even better, offending the examiner was enough to get him expelled from the examination room.
No matter how bad it is, it has to make him unstable, and the six gods have no owner.
Anyway, no one will remind these rotten fruits that they need to be calm and concentrate before sitting on the stone monument, otherwise the result will be greatly reduced. The children of the nobles took some potions more or less before entering the hall to calm their minds and calm their spirits from external stimuli.
But now that Ye Qingxuan walked into the examination room, their tongues that had long been stained with venom actually felt ...... I can't get to the bottom of it. It can only be said that sometimes there are flaws all over the body, and it is also the one that has no flaws.
There's no way, this guy's identity is too sensitive, if he is stimulated by something and goes behind his back in the examination room, he will give someone a handle, leaving room for the musician faction to play.
But don't you want to do it so absolutely!
That cunning bastard and this filthy imp......
Bane rubbed his teeth impatiently and let out an irritated breath.
"That...... Can I start the exam?" Ye Qingxuan raised his hand and asked with some curiosity: "How do I take the exam?"
"Ahem!"
Seeing that Ye Qingxuan was about to start practicing his voice in that out-of-tune voice, Bane hurriedly interrupted him: "Sit there." β
"Just sitting?"
Ye Qingxuan twisted his body suspiciously on the iron chair and found a more comfortable position: "Is this okay? It's not good, it's rude." Actually, I'm just standing. β
"No problem, just sit there and don't move!"
Bane was about to go crazy with this broken-mouthed guy: "Just sit!"
"Oh. β
Ye Qingxuan sat down as he said, and the stone tablet behind him also lit up with a point of light.
All the examiners held their breath, staring at the blurry stone tablet and at the dim point of light that was gradually brightening. Bane was overjoyed, as soon as the test results came out, the principal's trick would be completely unplayable!
But in the midst of everyone's intently gaze, that point of light turned out to be ...... It's going dark?
What the hell!
Bane rubbed his eyes sluggishly, only to see another point of light slowly light up from the stele. He hurried to look over, staring intently at the slowly moving light.
Then, the point of light went out again!
β......β
Bane felt like vomiting blood, but before he could say anything, another light lit up, and then ...... As expected, it went out again!
For more than ten minutes, the images on the stele hovered between activation and silence.
Sometimes there is, sometimes there is none, sometimes strong, sometimes weak.
It's like tossing everyone's eyes, and the irregular dots of light sometimes flicker quickly, sometimes disappear quickly.
Sometimes it looks like it's about to be read, but it quickly turns into another ambiguous look. In the audience, all the examiners felt that a mouthful of old blood was stuck in their throats and could not be spit out, and their faces were pale.
But in the silence, Sidney heard something faintly coming from the stele.
That sound gets louder and louder, until finally, it becomes a loud snoring!
On the chair, the boy lay on the chair almost collapsed with his eyes closed, his limbs relaxed, his mouth slightly open, and a line of saliva sliding down the corners of his mouth. When the chest rises and falls, the snoring is loud.
This little bastard is asleep!
Fall asleep in this sacred exam room!
Sidney's face turned red, and he suddenly got up and was about to attack, but he heard someone next to him exclaim:
"It's lit up! It's lit up!"
The sound woke the boy up, causing him to look back blankly to see the figure lit up on the stone tablet.
οΌ
In the dim light, the stele finally finished reading Ye Qingxuan's data, and then displayed the graphics of supply analysis. But the clear pattern looks like some kind of incomplete pattern, which is confusing.
On the stele, a silver light lit up, turning the background of the stele from pure black to a rippling mist.
Something seemed to be spinning in the mist, but the fleeting appearance was too vague to see. In the various intertwined intentions, countless fine points of light are constantly overlapped, and they are chimetic with a certain structure, and finally form a puzzling figure.
It's a weird curve from top to bottom.
In the mist, the curve was constantly changing. It was like an irregular wave, refusing to stop, sometimes shaking as quickly as if it had leprosy, and sometimes it remained motionless, like a lazy worm, only occasionally twitching and rolling.
There was a long silence, only the sound of eyeballs dropping to the ground.
"It's ...... What is the result?"
