Chapter 119: Ruthless Elimination
Fortunately, this concern did not last long. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Not everyone has a chance to faint suddenly, and this square barrier for assessment obviously has a complete judging function, and once someone is unable to resist, they will be immediately teleported away. The huge brazier in the sky lasted for ten minutes, and in this short period of 600 seconds, even in Su Wen's not very wide field of vision, a white light appeared on average every three or five seconds, and those apprentices who were not teleported out were mostly in pain on their faces, obviously struggling to resist the elemental coercion within the enchantment. But there are also a few guys like Su Wen who don't even sweat, and their faces are either relaxed or calm, which is in stark contrast to most of the people around them.
Su Wen didn't deliberately spend his mind on observation, but except for the strangeness that the fire element in the sky brought to his left arm, it was actually no different from sitting under the sun. And if this relaxed state is Su Wen's own strength, then he may still have a sense of achievement, but the current situation is obviously his left arm is working, if it were not for the "talent" given to him by this Ptolemy Grand Magister, he would have been sent out as soon as possible, thinking about it this way, Su Wen felt bored, and only hoped that the assessment could end soon.
The principle of this test is very simple, why can't fire mages be burned by the flames they let out? first, they can communicate with the elements and obtain a certain degree of immunity, second, they have the ability to resist the energy of pure elements, and third, they will also be affected by the proficiency of spellcasting, so that the main point of attack does not fall on them, and the combination of the three is likely to appear that a magician will burn all the creatures around him, but he will be able to leave in style, and even his hair will not be burned. And this kind of seemingly natural thing, in fact, is the most test of the basic skills of magicians, there are many unlucky people on the mainland who have their own lack of strength but insist on putting high ring spells, and as a result, they also put their lives into it, it is caused by their invocation of elemental energy that they can't control. And the fire element in the enchantment is the assessment of this basic skill, in the assessment of talent alone is useless, even if it is a true genius, it takes hard work to be able to be easy in this environment.
Ten minutes later, the dense fire elemental in the sky slowly dissipated, and the edge of the barrier returned to its previous blurred view, and the red-robed mage, who had always held his arms up, slowly retracted his movements, and then stepped back in silence.
The majestic voice sounded again.
"The fire element adaptability assessment is over, the number of people eliminated is 370, you have 5 minutes to adjust, and the next is the water element adaptability assessment. If you feel obviously unwell, you can leave the venue early. β
Once again, no one has left, and the apprentices of the magicians who can come here all dream of entering the best magic academy in the Duolun Empire, and even if there is a glimmer of hope, no one will give up.
Su Wen looked at Joey beside him, his magic robe was already soaked with sweat, and the ten minutes just now were obviously torturous for him.
Joey, who opened his eyes, naturally noticed Su Wen for the first time, and he shouted excitedly: "Whew...... Brother Su Wen, you are really amazing, you haven't even sweated a drop!"
"Don't talk, adjust carefully. β
Although Su Wen participated in the assessment for the first time, the content of the assessment had already been spoiled, and the fire element assessment was only the first level, and there were at least water elements and wind elements to deal with next. Su Wen didn't talk about this kind of hanging, but Joey obviously relied on his own strength to break through, and it didn't seem to be easy, how could he waste his precious five minutes of time talking to himself? Although there is no way to prepare in advance for the adaptability test, it is also very important to relax the body and nourish the spirit.
Five minutes passed in a solemn atmosphere, and everyone stood silently in the squareβthough most of them looked uncomfortable, but no one dared to sit down and rest. When the rules were read out earlier, the white-robed elder had already explained that before the collective assessment was declared over, sitting, walking around, or standing on any other foot for a long time would be regarded as abstention and would be removed from the examination room.
"The water element adaptability assessment starts now. β
With the bland reading, the blue-robed mage on the high platform stepped forward and raised his arms like the red-robed mage not long ago.
Almost all of them immediately stood upright, and after a few seconds, the canopy of the enchantment was occupied by an ocean of vastness, Su Wen only felt that the air around him began to twist and ripple like water waves, although the air was still air, but there was an illusion of being in the deep sea, and the touch of his skin was also moist and cold. If it weren't for the cooling of the five minutes, the Ice and Fire Heavens at this time would probably have a very stimulating effect.
Then, his left arm, which had just returned to normal, was busy again.
Accompanied by a strange itching sensation, the refreshing coldness brought by the water element just stopped at the refreshing coldness, and most of the candidates around him seemed to have begun to shiver slightly.
Another period of torment......
If most of Fang Cai's fire elements can resist it, and only about 3% of the salted fish are eliminated, then this teleportation light is like a large-scale jump. After experiencing the scorching of the fire element, many magic apprentices who were not teleported out were actually close to the end of the strong crossbow, and then they were bathed by the cold water element for a while, and they couldn't support it at the moment, the white light continued to flash from the beginning, and when it was five minutes, it reached a high tide, and in Su Wen's field of vision, the white flowers in the square almost flashed into a piece, and the scene was very tragic.
Ten minutes later, when the water curtain in the sky had dispersed, the density of candidates in the square had decreased significantly, Su Wen rolled his eyes and glanced at it, roughly estimating that about half of the magic apprentices had been eliminated.
"The water element adaptability assessment is over, the number of eliminated people is 4,883, you have 5 minutes to adjust, and the next step is the wind element adaptability assessment. The majestic voice of the white-robed elder sounded again, exactly the same tone as the tone of the announcement just now at the end of the fire element assessment, as if there was no difference between the two numbers that were more than ten times different, "Repeat again, if you feel obviously unwell, you can leave the venue early, as long as you sit down, you will be automatically sent out to rest." β
There was still no response, and almost all of the magic apprentices referenced, whether they looked relaxed or struggling to support, seemed to hold back all their strength. After all, as long as they pass the next wind element assessment, then whether they participate in the next light element and earth element assessment or not, it means that they have successfully passed the first hurdle of the entrance assessment.
This time, Joey looked even more embarrassed, from the end of the assessment to the start of the next assessment for five minutes, he didn't even open his eyes, and the fist that was almost covered by the apprentice's robe was clenched to death, as if he was about to scratch his palm.
"The wind element adaptability assessment starts now. β
The white-robed elder's voice was still flat, but in the ears of many magic apprentices at this time, it seemed to be like a nightmare.
As the words fell, the green-robed mage stepped up to the high platform, and then raised his arms in order. In an instant, countless pale tornadoes appeared on the canopy, and in just a few moments, St. Peter's Square turned into an ocean of storms, and the remaining more than 5,000 magic apprentices were like lonely boats in the ocean, most of them were crumbling in the monstrous wind and waves, powerless to resist. At this time, Su Wen was still silently bearing the strangeness of his left arm, and at the same time, the robe on his body was blown by the wanton dancing wind, and in addition...... As with a very small number of protruding people, there is no discomfort.
But most people will not be so lucky, many people are already crumbling after experiencing the torment of the two heavens of ice and fire, blown by this strong wind, even if it is not to the point of being unable to support it, they are already unstable, and can no longer maintain their balance, they can only watch themselves stagger, and then be carried away by the white light that represents the transmission.
Su Wen looked at Joey in the storm, and saw that he was also one of these people, constantly stumbling, although there were several situations where Su Wen almost fell and couldn't help but sweat for him, but fortunately, ten minutes passed without danger.
When the storm subsided and the sky cleared, only a sparse crowd remained in the square. Compared with the original scale of tens of thousands of people, there are now only about 2,000 people left, which is really embarrassing for Su Wen.
These reference magic apprentices have not put in the effort, but if they don't meet the standard, they don't meet the standard, for a highest-level academy that only recruits about five hundred formal magicians every year, the remaining ten thousand people are destined to not get the results they want. And as far as Su Wen knows, the assessment time of the 17 high-level magic academies of the Duolun Empire is basically concentrated in these few days, there are no planes and trains on this continent, regardless of whether you can get the admission tickets of other academies, unless you have a magic flying boat with a speed of 800 kilometers per hour, it is a dream to rush over.
Those magic apprentices who have been brushed down may be favored by the low-ranking senior magic academies, but more who are not so lucky, or have a relatively high spirit, can only obediently wait for the start of school to return to the junior magic academy to review, constantly improve themselves, and then take the exam again next year.
"The wind element adaptability assessment is over, the number of eliminated people is 3,328, and the remaining number is 2,589, congratulations, you have successfully passed the first step of the entrance examination of St. Peter's College. I don't know if it's an illusion, the white-robed elder's tone finally softened a little, "Next, we will continue to conduct the extra point assessment, that is, the light element adaptability assessment and the earth element adaptability assessment, these two assessments will start in 20 minutes, which will affect your final results, and the losers will not be eliminated." However, for the sake of having enough energy to participate in the written test in the afternoon, I suggest that those who are not sure about the reference first enter the bell tower to register, and then get the admission ticket for the second examination and leave the venue. β
This time, the square was finally no longer silent, and many candidates who knew their roots decisively chose to give up, and then walked to the bell tower of the square, and some people began to hesitate to talk in a low voice, as if discussing the next plan. Joey finally relaxed, he looked in a bad state, but after all, he forced himself to stand and did not fall, but shook his head, rubbed his curls that had become messy in the wind element assessment, and walked towards Su Wen crookedly.
Su Wen was ready to help him up at any time.
"Brother Su Wen, the intensity of this year's assessment ...... It's more than a little harder than last year, but fortunately I didn't slack off, otherwise I guess I wouldn't be able to hold on. Joey said weakly, "I can't participate in the next extra point assessment, I have to go back to the rest meeting quickly, there is a nasty written test in the afternoon, I'm really sorry I can't accompany you, I'll leave first...... See you in the afternoon. β
Seeing that Joey was unsteady on his feet again when he was talking, and was about to fall, Su Wen hurriedly supported him. When the two touched, Su Wen only felt that under the wide apprentice robe, the young man's arms were unexpectedly thin and soft, and he didn't look like a boy at all.
"I'll help you to the bell tower. β
Su Wen said.
"Ah, no need, I can come by myself! Brother Su Wen, you definitely want to stay, don't delay me because of me. β
After Joey finished speaking, he quickly made himself stand up straight, then held his head and left crookedly.
Looking at his departing back, Su Wen was thoughtful. (To be continued.) )
