The person in charge of the Academic Affairs Office received the two transfer students, Xiu and Gray, with a smile.

After all, these two people came in through the back door, so they can't have any big background, and they can't be easily offended. So the attitude of the person in charge can be regarded as quite enthusiastic.

After Xiu and Gray had filled out a series of scattered information forms, the person in charge somehow took out a piece of cloth made of a special material and placed it in front of the two of them, on which a simple basic magic circle was drawn.

Gray never seemed to have seen anything like it, so the expression on his face was puzzled at this point.

But for Xiu, this thing is all too familiar. Because Xiu has been taking the war college for six years before, and in every year's exam, this cloth has appeared as a very important exam accessory.

The entrance exam for the War College is divided into three parts, which are the formation of the magic circle, the general knowledge of the mage, and the talent test. The first two of these are conducted in the form of closed-book examinations, which are designed to test the candidate's literacy level. And this final talent test is more practical. To put it simply, it is to ask students to try to activate the magic circle in front of them, and then assign points to the candidates according to the effect of the cast, aiming to test the candidates' practical ability.

For the first two items of the exam, Xiu has always been very confident. Because I have been preparing for the exam for six years, I have already been familiar with the content of these two items. Although he is not necessarily able to get a perfect score, he has basically reached the point where he can get eight or nine without leaving ten.

It stands to reason that two of the three subjects are close to a perfect score, so it should be a great result, which is also the reason why Xiu feels good about himself after every exam. But for some reason, even though he did well in the first two exams, Xiu still couldn't pass the entrance exam, which made him start to doubt his talent.

To be honest, it's actually quite difficult for a person to admit that he is not talented.

The vast majority of people would rather attribute their failures to laziness, lack of effort, and unwillingness to admit that they are not talented. Because once you admit this, doesn't it mean that you are inherently inferior?

So at the beginning, Xiu, like the vast majority of people, resolutely refused to admit this. He just stubbornly believes that he didn't work hard enough to cause failure; But the failures year after year are also constantly eroding Xiu's self-confidence: is it really because he is not ideal in the talent test that the War College does not want to be his own?

But Xiu Ming felt that his talent was already very good! After all, when he was in his hometown, he was the most anticipated star. And every time it's his turn to take this talent test, doesn't Xiu feel that his performance is also quite good?

It is precisely because of this that this basic magic circle has now become a psychological shadow of cultivation. So when it appeared in front of Xiu again, Xiu's face suddenly became gloomy.

Perhaps sensing Xiu's displeasure, the person in charge smiled and explained, "This is not an entrance exam, and the results of the test are not so important. It's just that there is talent in the criteria for evaluating students in our college, and like the other four 'formations', 'culture', 'fighting', and 'comprehensive', it also accounts for 30 credit points, and if you don't have grades, you can't graduate successfully. So it's still necessary to test your talent before grading. ”

If that's the case, there's no other way.

Gray looked at Xiu, obviously waiting for him to come and give a demonstration first.

Xiu thought that Gray had no experience, so he could just demonstrate it himself, so he immediately crouched down and began to perform. Anyway, it's been so many years since the test, what effect does this formation have, Xiu is very familiar.

Isn't this just a magic circle that only emits red light? I don't know what the use of using such a formation as a criterion for judging talent is used.

But the result of this spell casting was somewhat unexpected by Xiu.

Because when Xiu slowly injected mana into this magic circle, he was surprised to find that although this magic circle also launched a light like the previous exams he had taken, the light of this magic circle was not red! On the contrary, it is a green that I have never encountered before!

What's going on? Could it be because Xiu is no longer human, so he can't use the human circle normally?

Xiu looked up at the person in charge in some surprise, but the person in charge looked calm. He intently recorded the operation of the repair, and said as if he were talking to himself: "B-grade? Not bad. ”

It dawned on Xiu that the main point of this test was in the color of this spell! It seems that the principle should be this: people with different talents can make this circle glow with different colors!

And talent, to put it bluntly, actually refers to the upper limit of a person's mana. This is predestined from the moment a person is born, and although there will be slight changes and increases as the body grows, it is difficult to change through effort.

Although everyone has mana on their bodies, their capacity is different. The vast majority of people possess meagre mana, so meager that they can't even activate the simplest magic circle. This is also the most fundamental reason why the vast majority of people do not have the talent to become mages.

Generally speaking, if a person is able to activate a magic circle, no matter what the content of the circle is, it is enough to show that he is more powerful than 95% of the population. This is also the reason why as long as you can activate the magic circle, you can be called a mage.

Every time he practiced the exam before, the light emitted by the magic circle was red, so he always took it for granted that the effect of this magic circle was to emit red light. This really misunderstood him for years.

Xiu couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, what about the other levels?" ”

"Well, the A-level is yellow, the B-level is green, the C-level is blue, the D-level is red, and the E-level is violet. If you are below the E level, you cannot be called a mage. Basically every item in our war academy is also evaluated on the basis of these five grades. But when it comes to talent, to be honest, the students in our academy actually only have three grades: A, B, and C. Although D-level and E-level students also meet the standards of becoming a mage in the eyes of the outside world, they are still too weak from the perspective of warfare. Even if they become professional mages in the future, I am afraid that they will not have much future. Therefore, in the entrance examination, as long as the talent does not reach the level of C or above, no matter how good the other two tests are, our college will not admit them. After all, for a mage, talent is the most important thing. Of course, unlike everyone else, you are 'special' students, so even if it turns out that your talent is not particularly good, the Academy will not turn you away. Not to mention, your talent is actually quite good. ”

Rely on! So that's it!

Xiu's heart couldn't help but feel annoyed: it turned out that he had failed the exam for many years because of this reason!

Although the current level of cultivation has reached the level of B, it can be regarded as a qualified admission, but after all, this is already the power of the undead, and it has nothing to do with the cultivation before death.

Doesn't this mean that without the help of other forces, you will not be able to get into the War College for the rest of your life! After knowing this, Xiu became a little lost again.

After that, Gray also tried to activate the magic circle, and it turned out that his test result was the same as Xiu, which was also B-level. It seems that Gray is not completely out the back door, he is also a talented guy.
