Chapter 121: Everything is in plan
Early the next morning, Su Wen arrived at the test site half an hour early. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since there was no need to resort to the magical enchantment of St. Peter's Square, the assessment was conducted in a special proving ground in the depths of the academy.
It's an indoor plaza on the shore of a lake, and it's very spacious, neatly packed with a large amount of testing equipment, which looks spotless thanks to the cleaning circle. Many magicians in standard robes walked around the room, they were the members of the academy who maintained order and conducted the examination room, and candidates like Su Wen gathered in the open space outside the hall to wait.
Although there were only about 2,000 people, less than a quarter of the size of St. Peter's Square yesterday morning, it looked quite crowded.
The entrance exams have reached their final stage, but they are far from over, rather than just beginning, because apart from the final two annual event-like real and practical tests, everything that has been done before is being screened and paved.
After the audition assessment in St. Peter's Square, more than 10,000 people have become 2,400 people, and about 500 to 1,000 people will be brushed in the second written test stage, but before the results come out, these people may not know their fate; As a result, only one-twentieth of the first twenty people passed the final screening, and the 500 or so people were the winners who had the last laugh, enough to qualify for admission to St. Peter's Academy of Magic, and to be allowed to participate in the next two final tests to demonstrate their abilities.
St. Peter's College encourages competition, even if the remaining 500 people can enter the academy in the end, they are also classy, and most of the elites and geniuses from all over the world are unruly, so it is naturally a good thing for them to recognize themselves and others in the entrance examination.
This morning's assessment was a low-ring magic test, and he needed to cast at least three second-ring spells in front of the proctor mage, and at least two of them were evaluated as qualified in order to pass successfully. This assessment also does not allow the use of any external objects, so Su Wen can't switch magic with the Book of Elements, but he has been practicing spell switching these days, which is actually prepared for this level.
The Book of Elements is ultimately a set of assistive devices, and if Suwen's left arm is compared to the legs of a newborn baby, then its role is to help him learn to walk. Through its elemental infusion, Su Wen was able to experience the method of drawing elements from demonic energy, although this did not change the fact that he was completely unable to perceive the elements, but he only needed to do it according to the script, to imitate, and finally he could reach the point where he could freely separate the elements even without the help of the Book of Elements. This is incredible, the more Su Wen practiced, the more frightened he became, because he seemed to really perceive magic, although as Ptolemy said, this magic was actually an illusion of nothingness, but in a sense, it made Su Wen feel that it was not just an illusion.
Half a month has passed, Su Wen has barely been able to control his left arm initially, at least not like at the beginning, he will only spew magic energy like peeing according to the established procedure, and then passively transform it into magic, he can make his left arm switch the type of element through his feelings, and even switch different ways of using the same element. To put it simply, Su Wen manipulated his arm, and his arm manipulated real magic, he was still the Su Wen who didn't know anything about the elements, and Ptolemy didn't plan to break this insurmountable black box for him, but expressed the elements to the arm in some way, and then let Su Wen "see" it through his arm and interfere. Although today's interference is still as clumsy as a toddler, everything is just beginning.
This kind of thing is simple to say, but Su Wen knows that what is now in his arm may have poured the effort of this great demon master into his life. If it was regarded as a magic prop, Su Wen couldn't imagine how amazing its value would be. But it's a pity that Su Wen lost the identification technique, but the result was lost, and it seems that the system does not approve of it......
All in all, this assessment is an acceptance for Su Wen, if it weren't for this sense of oppression in the race against time, he might not have completed the basic control of his left arm in just half a month.
In the crowd, Su Wen saw Joey's figure hurriedly drilling around, his body under the apprentice's robe was a little thin, so it was a little difficult to do this kind of thing, but he looked quite anxious.
Su Wen beckoned to him.
"Brother Su Wen, so you are here!"
"Good morning, are you looking for something?"
"Of course it's you!"
"Hey, what's the matter?"
Joey was in high spirits: "Brother Su Wen, if nothing else, I should have passed the written test this time, and there is no problem with the next low-ring magic test and magic puppet actual combat, which means that my entry into St. Peter's Academy is almost a sure thing, just wait for the comprehensive results to come out in three days, and I am ready for the celebration banquet." ”
"Don't set up a flag so early, hey, I have a lot of lessons here!"
"Brother Su Wen, what did you say?"
"It's nothing, just misheard, anyway, good luck. ”
"Well, speaking of the celebration banquet, you must come when the time comes, Brother Su Wen. Joey continued, "I made an agreement with a few of my friends who came to the exam to attend the celebration party regardless of whether it was past or not. They are all friends I met at the Tritis School of Magic, they are all good, yesterday I went back and told them about meeting you, they all said that you are welcome to come with you, and you can meet each other when the time comes, and maybe you will be classmates in the same grade in the future. ”
"This ...... Or are you exempt?"
Banquets or something, Su Wen is not interested in this kind of thing at all, not to mention that Joey has only known "friends" for a day no matter what he says, and coupled with his notoriety in Tridis, there is no need to go. Moreover, for the "welcome" of those people in Joey's mouth, Su Wen also had some doubts about whether he was really welcome, he was a plague god who was angry and resentful in Tridis.
"Uh, well, I actually guessed that Brother Su Wen would refuse. Joey seemed a little disappointed, but behaved decently, "But it's okay, the days after school start are still long." ”
Half an hour passed quickly, and the third screening began.
In order to ensure efficiency, according to the number of the admission ticket, the 2,400 people were divided into 24 large groups, and Su Wen and Joey were separated early. What surprised Su Wen was that after waiting in line for about an hour, when it was finally his turn, he found that the invigilator was the good-looking female magician from yesterday, and the other party seemed to have some impressions of him, but everything was still in order.
"Su Wen, please release three different types of two-ring general elemental magic in a row, if it is the two special magics of 'Micro Beam' and 'Sand Condensation', there will be a corresponding bonus when grading. ”
Su Wen nodded, did not consider the second half of the sentence, but released the 'Fire Tongue Technique', 'Water Dragon Technique' and 'Wind Shield Technique' respectively in a regular manner, among the few second-ring magics, these three spells are the most representative of each department, and the use of the elements is also the simplest and most direct, belonging to the basic spells that any formal magician can master proficiently.
When the wind shield on the test ground gradually dissipated, Su Wen heard the result he wanted.
"Pass the assessment. ”
But then, the sorceress smiled, as if interested: "Actually, your score could be higher, are you planning to save your strength for the magic puppet test in the afternoon?"
Su Wen felt that this person was a little lenient.
"Passing is enough. ”
He said with a smile.
Next, as long as the afternoon practical assessment in any way is solved, all his entrance exams will be over. The last two are the "Wilderness Survival Combat Ability Assessment" and the Ring Tournament Assessment, which seems to be set up specifically for the limelight and is the real highlight, and the public broadcast throughout Tuscany is a rare opportunity for any genius who wants to make a name for himself, but Suvin has no interest in it. Participation is still mandatory, but at best it's a soy sauce affair - at least that's what he plans to do for now.
The lunch meal was still hearty, and Su Wen routinely touched his head to maintain Laetitia's favorability.
Then, he went to participate in the final battle without pressure, and the hard preparation of more than ten days has been successfully accepted in the second and third assessments, so this actual combat assessment is like relaxation for him.
In the same testing ground, it is divided into private rooms shrouded in magical enchantments, where the battle between the magic apprentices and the magic puppets will take place.
Magic dolls are commonly used as combat test items, and although they cannot be used as weapons on the battlefield due to many restrictions, they are excellent as tests and trials. They are safe and efficient, not afraid of injury, and the difficulty can be adjusted to the norm, so since its inception, almost all of the academy of magic combat tests have been done by magic dolls.
The magic puppets prepared for the apprentices have relatively good overall strength, not only have the elemental energy of a junior magician, but even the physique is the level of a junior knight, Su Wen once saw a similar puppet in the training ground of the magic flying boat - yes, it is one of the crooked things that were tossed by Alex. According to the information obtained by Su Wen, a magic puppet of this strength has a low chance of winning with hand-to-hand combat alone, but if it is combined with the magic of his left hand, it is easy to take it down.
Therefore, after a simple test to confirm that the information was correct, Su Wen only shook twice, dodging the three-ring magic fire rush technique that the magic puppet flew all over the test field, and came to its back sideways, and then slapped the left hand with a tongue of fire on the bare back of the puppet. Although due to the limitation of his arm, he can only release the second ring spell at the most, but because he was judged to have hit the fatal point, the puppet quickly emitted a red light and fell down.
Successful completion of the task.
Everything is within Su Wen's plan, review it seriously and down-to-earth, not greedy or careless, plus the plug-in of Ptolemy's tutor, even the entrance examination of St. Peter's College, which can be called the most difficult in the entire Duolun Empire, is nothing more than that.
In the next month, I will be able to devote a lot of time to do what I want to do.
Since Su Wen felt that solving Lyticia's problems was a top priority, there was no need to wait until the additional assessment was over, so when the half-elf maid was washing the dishes in the kitchen after dinner, he quietly poured Xiao Shi into the bath.
Although this slime has not been able to fully gain Su Wen's trust, after all, he has not done anything bad so far except for maliciously selling cuteness, but has helped him a lot. In addition, the experience in Red Maple Town was still fresh in his memory, so when Su Wen found it difficult to understand Laetitia's thoughts, he finally remembered this cheap daughter who he had forgotten more cleanly some time ago.
