After handing over the money, the teacher in charge of recruiting new students at Siamers College handed Lolo a wooden school badge and told her to remember to come to take the entrance test tomorrow afternoon. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It's not just that the Yves Saint Laurent School of Magic will hold a test before the admission of new students, in fact, basically all the magic academies will conduct qualification tests for new students before admission, of course, the entrance tests of these academies will not be as perverted as the Yves Saint Laurent School of Magic, ordinary magic academies are just to screen out some ordinary people who do not have the talent for magic cultivation, and in addition, the talents of students are roughly classified through this test, and different tuition fees are charged according to the quality of their qualifications.

This tiered fee model has been implemented by the Wizards Association for hundreds of years, and has been thoroughly popularized among many magic schools in the human world.

It is not easy to cultivate a magician, even the daily consumption of the most basic magician is extremely amazing, so most of the tuition fees of the magic academy are extremely high, if it is charged in a normal way with a uniform standard, it is equivalent to completely excluding the children of ordinary families, especially those who are extremely talented, because they can't afford the astronomical tuition fees and can only let their talents be buried.

This is undoubtedly not conducive to the development of magic in the long run.

Roland's era was special, the Terran was at war, and there was an urgent need for more magicians to join the war, so at that time, several major forces of the Terran decided to directly subsidize the Saint Laurent School of Magic after discussion, and the tuition fees for freshmen in the academy at that time were actually directly sponsored by the state, as long as you have the talent to become a magician, then you can go to school without spending a penny, but as a price, the magicians at that time basically had to go to the military headquarters as soon as they left school.

If this kind of thing is placed today, it will definitely explode, what "overlord clause", "deprivation of personal rights" and other accusations will inevitably be heard endlessly, but the magicians at that time generally had no objection to this, because the vast majority of people chose to become magicians at that time in order to save the fate of the Terran and reverse the disadvantage of the Terran in high-end combat power, even if the military department did not mention this stubble, they would pack their own luggage and go to the battlefield.

However, once the war is over, it will be difficult to maintain this model of training magicians. The main reason is actually that the country is too poor, and the damage caused by a long-term large-scale war to the economy is incalculable, because the age is relatively old, and many statistics are not accurate, but even according to the conservative estimates of the current historiography, at least more than half of the population of the human race was displaced during the first magical war, especially in the most difficult times, nearly two-thirds of the land fell, and the number of people who fled the famine is innumerable.

Now that the war has finally stopped, the main task of all parties is to restore the economy and find ways to resettle the returning refugees

Naturally, there is no extra money to use to train magicians. Although everyone knows that the current peace is only temporary, and they also understand the importance of magicians to the human race, objectively speaking, the country's need for magicians is indeed not as urgent as in wartime, so all countries have successively cut this part of the expenditure.

The Saint Laurent School of Magic founded by Roland is okay, because of its outstanding contribution in the First World War, it can still receive a part of the subsidy after the war, but some other magic academies established later are not so lucky and can only be self-sufficient.

After struggling for a while, the vast majority of magic academies have chosen to raise tuition fees significantly as a way to make up for their losses. From then on, the children of poor families could only watch the children of the aristocracy who were far less talented than their own to become magicians, and they could only cultivate in the fields silently, and eventually became farmers with their backs to the loess like their ancestors.

Fortunately, the Wizards' Association quickly took notice of this situation, and by reforming the fee system of the Academy of Magic, the implementation of a tiered fee model can not only allow the academy to be self-sufficient, but also improve the current situation of unfair educational resources to a certain extent.

The essence of this fee model is to let the children of the rich families who are not very good pay more tuition fees to study in the college, and then the school can use the money to subsidize the students with better qualifications, so that it is equivalent to lowering the admission threshold for those who have good qualifications but are born in civilian families.

However, in terms of specific operations, the standards of each academy may be different, taking the Teist Royal Academy of Magic where His Excellency the future Ultra Magister once stayed, for example, Rob's alma mater belongs to the category of relatively relaxed admission requirements among the top universities, and the pre-admission test only roughly divides students into four grades: unqualified, qualified, good, and excellent.

Like Rob, he naturally belonged to the top class, but he was actually not very conspicuous when he first entered the school, and the great magician remembered that there seemed to be more than forty people who were rated excellent among the same batch of students as him, and they only needed to pay a quarter of the normal tuition fee to enter the academy.

But even so, the boy was still a little shy, and he barely made up half a year's tuition when he took out the last copper in his pocket, and later the school made an exception to allow him to owe the other half of the tuition on credit for his good talent, which is why Rob had to work part-time everywhere in the first year.

In fact, from a technical point of view, the Academy of Magic can be divided into more than forty people in more detail, and at this point, the Saint Laurent School of Magic is the best representative, the first magic academy of the human race has almost reached a pathological point of admiration for talent, the entrance threshold of the academy is high and scary, and the freshmen who were rated as excellent by the Teist Royal Academy of Magic are just reaching the passing line that can be admitted to the Saint Laurent School of Magic.

On this basis, the Saint Laurent School of Magic will further divide the geniuses recruited into nine grades according to the strength of their talents, and charge different tuition fees according to each grade, among which the students of the seventh tier only pay a symbolic tuition fee of one gold coin, and the students of the next two grades not only do not have to pay the tuition, but can also get a large amount of subsidies.

However, geniuses of this level are very rare, the students of the eighth tier basically only appear one or two every hundred years, and as for the peerless geniuses of the ninth tier, throughout the history of the Saint Laurent School of Magic for more than 900 years, there have only been two in total, and the principal Arbus has repeatedly said in public that the thing he regrets most in his life is that he failed to recruit Rob to the Saint Laurent Academy of Magic.

On the other hand, on the side of the Royal School of Magic and Wizardry of Thistle, although Steines and Deman also emphasize talent, they also encourage students to continue to make progress through acquired efforts, and there are many similar examples in history, where people who are not very talented at the beginning end up achieving unimaginable achievements that others can imagine, which is why the Royal Academy of Magic and Magic of Teist is reluctant to divide the qualifications of new students in too much detail.

Steines believes that every student has infinite possibilities, and it is easy to conclude a person with an overly detailed division of qualifications, once a student realizes his limits, he will not be able to do his best without reservation in his future studies and life, and the ninth-order super mage master explained this, as if you go to train for high jump, the important thing is not how high you can jump, but how high you believe you can jump, if you believe that you can only jump one meter in your heart, then you will probably never be able to cross this height in the future。

Siamers and the previous two top schools are definitely incomparable, and there will not be so many additional ideas in the entrance test, what is used is the most popular five-grade system in the entire wizarding world, Class A qualification is the best, Class D qualification is the worst, and the remaining Class F is the level of ordinary people, and the content of the test is mainly elemental affinity, followed by mental power, perception again, as for the rest of the things such as actual combat level, spell casting speed, spell stability and the like can only be gradually revealed after a period of systematic learning, so it does not belong to the category of the entrance test。

At the same time, each college also reminds students that there may be a certain range of errors in the test results, and if you are not satisfied with the results, you can also pay for the test again. (To be continued.) )
