Chapter 594: The Exam Begins
The news of the midterm exams quickly fermented.
Everything that the Academy of Magic symbolizes is too new for this world. Midterm exams? What is that? The novelty is pouring in, and even if it's just a simple staged exam, it can become news on the same level as the death of the king, and spread all over the streets.
What's more, the death of the king may not have any impact on most people's lives, but the Academy of Magic, that is a place where even the poorest and poorest people can go to learn magic!
"Are you really going to the Academy of Magic to see their midterm exams?"
In one of the cities of Freden, a meeting place of a mage organization, several mages who were dissatisfied with the Academy of Magic gathered to discuss the latest news.
"Of course I want to go. Not only the orders from above, but even several respected mages have sent me invitations, how can I not go?"
"But...... Didn't we do a lot of things against them before?"
"So what? How did they know we did it?" said the mage leader, smiling disdainfully, "What a magic academy, just right, I want to see what the hell they have come up with." ”
Situations like this have happened within almost every mage organization. When Benjamin wrote the letter, he made a point of emphasizing that he wanted to invite all the mage organizations that had a little bit of influence to him. And as the hero who saved Fredon and Caritus, his face is still not small.
In fact, those mage bosses have a good relationship with him, and have seen his feat at the opening ceremony, how dare they trouble Benjamin?
Secretly opposing him is a small and medium-sized mage organization as numerous as a starry group. After all, Benjamin's behavior can be regarded as making it impossible for them to get by.
In this way, invitations were sent to almost every mage organization. And people like them who are not up or down often have a kind of unconvinced mentality, naturally no one refuses this invitation, and they are majestic and high-spirited, ready to go to the magic academy to find out.
Of course, in addition to these guys with evil intentions, there are still many people who are curious and looking forward to the academy. Some people miss the first admission, and some hesitate to send their children to school...... Before, the magic academy was semi-closed, and it was finally possible to visit it publicly, and I heard that there were public classes or something, and you could listen to them at will, so many mages were very interested.
Gradually, Akademi, who had been deserted for months, suddenly became lively again.
"Midterm exams, that's good!" Counting the tinkling coins in the money bag, the innkeeper couldn't help but sigh, "Can't the dean, do more of this kind of thing? I only take the exam once every few months, how is it enough? I should take the exam once a week!"
Thankfully, the students didn't hear that, otherwise they would have vomited blood and died.
About a few days before the exam, Benjamin was walking down the streets of the academy, and almost no one had come up to meet him enthusiastically. Everyone was like ashes, staring at a pair of dead fish eyes, with bags under their eyes, and walking by like a walking corpse. When he saw Benjamin, he nodded stupidly at him, and hurried to the next place.
Seeing this, Benjamin also nodded in satisfaction.
He felt that he had lived up to the quality education he had received. He continued this love and passed it on to another corner of the world.
There was an inexplicable relief.
“...... Are you trying to exhaust them to death?" the system couldn't help but say.
"They will be given two days off before the exam, so they can rest on their own and adjust to the exam. Benjamin replied in his heart, "Besides...... What is that? You're underestimating people's potential. ”
The system is speechless.
In this way, the last few days passed, and the first midterm exam since the opening of the Academy of Magic officially kicked off.
In the town of Akademi, the people who had been waiting for a long time entered the academy one after another.
"Is this the Academy of Magic? I heard that a lot of money was spent, and a large group of people built it here for a long time, and it was built like this, not as grand as some aristocratic schools. ”
Farrell is the leader of a mage organization, and after consulting with several other mage organizations, he hired some people to cause trouble at the gate of the academy. At this moment, he walked into the academy, looked around, and couldn't help but whisper to his companions beside him.
"Be quiet, don't let them hear. His companion immediately reminded.
Farrell nodded and said, "I'm already very quiet, how can they hear me?"
With that, they continued to walk inward, and the wide streets of the academy and all kinds of buildings came into view. They mingled in the crowd, looking around and whispering while chattering.
"It's a big place, I don't know why the king of Carretus would give away such a big place. ”
"What are those buildings for? It's strange, I don't know what the use of building so many houses. Do they have so many students in this college?"
"There don't seem to be many people over there, let's go over and take a look, maybe there's something hidden here. ”
After looking at it casually for a while, and seeing nothing famous, the two walked to a sparsely populated place. They had also heard of Benjamin's strength, so they felt that this young mage must have some secret, and maybe the secret was hidden in this academy.
They can't help but feel that they can get something good out of it.
"I'm sorry, but it's not allowed to pass ahead. ”
However, after only a few steps, they suddenly saw several guard-like creatures, blocking their way and preventing them from going to a quieter place.
Farrell and his companion looked at each other.
"Don't you let it through? Doesn't that mean it's completely open? What does that mean?"
The other party replied: "Because in the teaching building in front of us, some of our students are taking the written test inside." They needed a quiet environment, and the written exam was really not suitable for others to watch. The playground on the left has another part of the students' practice tests, you can go there and visit it. ”
Farrell listened a little confused.
Written...... Battle-tested ...... It's really complicated, isn't it just a school for magic? What are you doing with all this mess?
The more the other party stopped him, the more he wanted to go over and have a look. It's just that everyone is stopped in front of them, and they definitely can't be regarded as tearing their faces and forcibly trying to break through.
Exchanging glances with his companion, he turned around, and the two of them walked together in the direction of the playground.
After going far.
"It's mysterious, I don't know if there's anything unsightly, should we fly over?" said the fellow mage with an angry expression on his face.
“...... Forget it, it will definitely be discovered. Farrell shook his head and said, "Isn't there any actual combat test over there?
"It's just that the apprentice who has just learned magic for a few months has no qualifications to copy notes for the teacher, and he is still ...... actual combat."
"Let's go over and have a look. ”
The companion mage nodded.
Following the crowd, they continued on their way. Although they are not angry, after all, they have done bad things, and they are a little weak in their hearts, and they don't dare to be too high-profile in doing anything, for fear of being found out.
Soon, they came to the playground.
