Chapter 120: It's Time to Pretend!
20 minutes is not a long time, but it is not a short time, and after the 15th minute, after almost all the people who should have left have left, Su Wen glanced at the remaining thousands of people in the square and set off towards the bell tower. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
He didn't say he was going to stay and take the extra points test.
Ptolemy had already made it clear that the meaning of participating in the entrance examination was nothing more than to let Su Wen prove himself, and at the same time have a normal score on the admission report card, and he also said "no need to be publicized" as if intentionally or unintentionally. At this point, if Su Wen still doesn't understand his mentor's attitude, then there must be something wrong with his IQ - if he gets extremely dazzling results with this left arm, not to mention Ptolemy's low-key personality, he may not be pleased, and more importantly, I am afraid that when he becomes a "genius" again, his entire old bottom when he is Tridis will be turned upside down, and if someone questions it at that time, no matter how he responds, he will not be able to change the fact that it has brought trouble.
He stayed here for about ten minutes to watch the scenery, just to stagger the time with Joey, and he couldn't let him watch him go deeper into the academy. At the same time, Su Wen was also happy to observe the remaining magic apprentices in the square, especially those who were richly dressed, not very old, and looked like noble young masters, and their faces were not red and their hearts were not beating, Su Wen quietly recorded their appearances. If his expectations are right, in the final stage of the entrance examination that seems to be pretending to be a conference, it will be these people who will shine without running.
Su Wen pulled down the brim of his hat and walked into the bell tower, as the last guy to abstain after a long time, he gained a lot of attention.
There is a hole in the inside of the bell tower, the layout is simple, the color is bright, there are still many people lining up to register and collect evidence inside, and then enter the miniature teleportation circle in the deepest part of the hall, and leave one after another as white light.
Su Wen was at the end of the line, and Joey's shadow had long been missing in the hall, and it was estimated that he had left. The progress of the team is not fast or slow, there are dozens of people in front of Su Wen's team, most of them look uncomfortable, there is no shortage of people who support each other, as if they have just retreated from the battlefield, and about five minutes later, with the "Light Element Assessment Begins" from above, the windows of the bell tower hall are instantly filled with bright white light like a nuclear bomb explosion...... Well, this adjective doesn't seem so pretty, but Su Wen thinks they are very similar.
Fortunately, the outside was bright, and the inside of the bell tower hall seemed to have the protection of the enchantment, and it was hardly affected except for the brightness becoming higher, and the team was still slowly advancing with a half-dead moan, and soon it was Su Wen's turn.
The person in charge of registration is a good-looking female magician, in her twenties, who seems to be a teacher in the academy. Su Wen handed her the admission ticket, who first flipped through the certificate to make sure that Su Wen's identity was correct, and then handed him the new admission ticket, and released the magic mark in it, but after doing these things, she seemed to feel a little confused.
"This-" The female magician looked down at the admission ticket, "Su Wen, you seem to be in good shape, why don't you try to participate in the next extra point assessment, and choose to abstain?"
Su Wen was stunned.
"Isn't it allowed?"
"It's not that it's not allowed, it's ...... Your grades are pretty good, it's a shame to just give up. ”
"Thank you for your concern, it's okay. ”
Seeing that the other party was not ill-intentioned, Su Wen returned the favor with a smile and vaguely passed. The sorceress didn't ask any more questions, but she still felt a little incredulous, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Stepping into the miniature teleportation circle, Su Wen only felt that he was surrounded by a soft white light, and by the time this white light gradually dissipated, he was already in another building.
Although Su Wen hadn't stepped on this point, he immediately knew that this was the assembly hall near the gate of the academy, and the surrounding scene was chaotic, with eliminated and non-eliminated magic apprentices and parents mixed together, cheering or sighing, and even crying. Su Wen hadn't seen this kind of lively scene for a long time, and seeing that it was still early, he was not in a hurry to squeeze out, but casually found a place to sit down, took out his notes from the past few days and reviewed them, planning to go back when the scene calmed down.
The second test in the afternoon was the most torturous written test, covering the compulsory 1-4 and most elective content of the Apprentice-level Magic Textbook, and since it was an assessment at St. Peter's College, everyone had to be prepared to face heavy over-the-top knowledge. This is not something that can be passed with the magic props given to him by Ptolemy, fortunately, Su Wen was well-read when he was in Tridis before, if it is just rote memorization, although he may not be able to achieve good results, but it is still not a big problem to pass.
In fact, this kind of pure written examination has always been controversial, too many rote things have made many talented magic apprentices who only love to rub fireballs and do not like to read have been planted on this, but St. Peter's College has always been an attitude of loving exams rather than exams, and their reasons are very simple: even ordinary people can get full marks through hard work, why don't you want to make efforts to study as a magician? St. Peter's College does not admit mediocre people, and even if they have amazing talents, they will be turned away if they do not have a heart to calm down and study.
Of course, in terms of the difficulty of the question, want to get a full score?
There may not be one in ten years.
About half an hour later, when the excitement of the assembly hall came to an end, several teleportation arrays suddenly became operational, and in a short time, with a flickering white light, a large number of reference magic apprentices were teleported. Judging from their expressions and states, these people obviously did not have the last laugh, but were brushed down in the bonus point assessment, and then packaged and transmitted the first batch of passers, Su Wen could be sure that most of them did not get extra scores, and only stayed in the square because of stubbornness and luck.
However, since there were fewer people, Su Wen put away his notes and left the square before the exam was over.
Look at the time, it's not even ten o'clock.
......
When he returned to the tulip apartment, Su Wen smelled the strong aroma of food, as if someone was cooking something.
Sure enough, pushing open the door of the apartment, the smell that Su Wen smelled was even stronger. And looking at the source of the scent, he found Laetitia busy wrapped in her apron, and in a cauldron beside her, the boiling steam wrapped in the smell of broth rushing upwards.
"Welcome back, hosts. ”
Laetitia seemed to have seen Su Wen through the window a few minutes ago, so she greeted him without looking back, this kind of treatment was something that Su Wen couldn't have imagined when she was in Tridis, but after ten days passed, she got used to it.
"Is it an important day?"
Su Wen asked casually.
"No, it's just to treat the master, it must be hard to take the entrance exam, and you have to work hard in the afternoon. ”
“......”
Laetitia like this, sure enough, still hasn't been completely used to it.
Moreover, although Lyitia squinted and smiled sweetly, Su Wen still read a faint strangeness in her expression. Su Wen thought about it carefully, he was always busy these days, either training and reviewing or running to the library, and seemed to have unconsciously put the half-elf maid aside, almost paying little attention, and although Laetitia after coming to St. Peter's Academy, although she seemed to be obedient, she made such an abnormal move today, saying that it was a reward, Su Wen felt that it was more like expressing some kind of dissatisfaction.
After all, even if it's favorability, it needs to be maintained.
Su Wen knew what he had to do, he stepped forward, raised his hand and touched the maid's head to maintain his favorability, and then lifted the lid of the pot and saw the rich color and mellow aroma of bone broth inside.
"Looks good, I've never seen you do it before. ”
"Master, I just learned it yesterday, and I have a few cookbooks in those books. ”
"Well, if you usually say that, you'll sprinkle sugar as salt next, right? ”
"I wouldn't make such a mistake ......"
"Then I'll go back to my room and wait for the meal to begin. ”
After Su Wen finished speaking, a little bit of inspiration about card games suddenly appeared in his head, so he turned around and was about to leave, but before he could step out of the kitchen, he was suddenly grabbed by Laetitia's arm. Now her strength is not what it used to be, and Su Wen can't move for a while.
"The host ......"
"Hmm, do you want to have a shot, I haven't done it in a few days, so let's finish eating. ”
"Not really!" Lyetitia shook her head effortfully, "Master, will you continue to be so busy after the beginning of the school year, you seem to be a different person now than you were in Trides." ”
Of course, I have changed my ways.
"Yes, yes. ”
"Why do you look a little disappointed?"
"Nope!"
Su Wen felt that she should not be mistaken, it seemed that Laetitia did have a little loss on her face just now, but since she had already denied it, it was not good to say anything more.
However, after such a mistake, the originally unclear inspiration in his head disappeared immediately, and Su Wen was not too annoyed, after all, it was the right thing to go back to the room to do a set of past papers for the entrance examination of St. Peter's College before the meal. Because he had no intention of participating in the assessment, Su Wen did not review on the entire journey, and the time for just half a month was really tight, and he was not 100% sure that he could pass the assessment. Of course, it's almost nine times out of ten.
At the noon dinner table, Alex didn't come to disturb, so the atmosphere seemed to be a little silent. Su Wen was almost sure that Laetitia had something on her mind, but he was not a confidant sister, so it was naturally impossible to guess what was going on, so he had to wait for the assessment to be over and ask carefully. This half-elf maid used to be like this, she almost kept everything in her heart, and she didn't want to show it at all, otherwise Su Wen wouldn't have found out when her favorability reached full level in Tridis for half a year, and it seemed that she still had to be trained well.
After eating, Su Wen was in a very comfortable mood, and he did two more sets of real questions excitedly, and then took the exam.
The standout thing in the written part is that it is boring, otherwise it would not be so hated, and even Joey gritted his teeth when he mentioned it in the morning. The format of the exam is very simple, more than 2,000 people are divided into more than 40 classes, and the test paper is 12 pages long, which is required to be completed within three hours, and more than 60 points are considered to be passed. The questions are really difficult, but they haven't reached the point of anti-human, Su Wen has finally solved 90% of the questions with his skills in Trides and half a month of surprise review, and at least he is sure to pass.
By the way, when going to the examination room, Su Wen saw Joey who was looking forward to it on the school road, he seemed to be waiting for someone, and he looked very important, so Su Wen didn't plan to disturb him and took a detour.
From the second day, it is the highlight of the annual entrance examination.
The comprehensive assessment of magic apprentices, through the low-ring magic test, actual combat, actual combat and actual combat to determine the final results and ranking, the whole process will last for more than 10 days, like a holiday carnival.
After all, the official magicians cultivated by the Advanced Magic Academy are not for the sake of enjoying noble status.
With a status and strength above others, it is natural to bear the corresponding responsibilities, a magician can have many identities and hobbies, but their fundamental mission will not change, that is, - fighting. (To be continued.) )
