Chapter Seventy-Two: The Second Entrance Examination
Chapter 72 Second Entrance Examination
Carl looked at his pocket watch, it was just lunchtime. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It's still early in the evening, and Carl is ready to take a good stroll around the campus.
However, the idea was shattered before it could be implemented.
......
"Hey, Carl, why are you here. β
Carl turned his head and saw Mentor Nolan who had gone to the guild that day.
Carl is very embarrassed now, and when the other party invites him, he can't come, but in the end, he still wants to enter the academy.
Nolan frowned: "I just saw you on the list of District 8, why don't you just use the invitation." β
Carl buckled his face: "Give it away......"
"What are you talking about?!" Nolan raised his voice, looking dissatisfied.
"Gave it away......"
Carl saw Nolan's pale face, and quickly explained: "I have come into contact with that person, and his talent and character are good. β
"Why don't you keep it for yourself?" Nolan asked rhetorically.
The invitation letter for exemption is when some tutors meet young people who think they are good when they go out, and they can't bring it back directly, so they will give this letter to the other party.
It's a sign of trust, and what Carl does is betraying it.
"My business...... It's more complicated. β
Karl didn't know how to explain it, but when he went out shopping and met a cardinal, such a thing could be heard as a myth.
"I'm sure I'll get through, so don't worry. Carl said with a heartbeat.
Nolan took out a whip and slammed Carl: "I don't bother to care if you can get by, I'm worried that if the person who took the letter doesn't perform well in the later stage, I will be scolded by my superiors, understand?"
Carl rubbed his head awkwardly, he was indeed too self-righteous, and not everyone paid attention to him.
"But you have to pass. Nolan tapped Karl again, "Otherwise, I don't know anyone." Your level is too low, you've only reached level three, and you've just been promoted in the past two days, right?"
"Yes......"
"Fortunately, this second test has nothing to do with combat effectiveness, otherwise you will definitely be brushed off. Nolan took a deep breath, "Don't walk around in the academy, it's better for someone to take you, there are many areas that you can't enter without student qualifications, and there are many dangerous places." β
Nolan seemed to be in a hurry, and left in a hurry after a few sentences, but she left a sentence at the end that completely dispelled Carl's desire to go for a casual walk around campus in the afternoon.
......
Karl stood in the middle of the road, thinking about what to do in the afternoon.
"Please give way. β
The sound is not loud, but the pitch is quite high and nasal, and the timbre is mellow and somewhat transparent, and it sounds very comfortable.
Karl stepped out of the way and looked up, but didn't see anyone: "Huh...... Who is it?"
Karl had a puzzled look on his face, who was talking to him just now.
"You're rude!" said the owner of the voice, as if suppressing his anger.
Following the voice, a petite and even somewhat naΓ―ve girl raised her head and glared at herself. The most conspicuous thing is a pair of long crystal-like crimson hair tied into a double ponytail, and a smooth and shiny forehead exposed high below the hairline.
And the crimson eyes of the same color as the hair.
He is only one meter four upwards tall, and he looks only eleven or twelve years old.
"Where are the children, go home quickly. Karl patted the girl in front of him on the head.
There was still some noisy crowd around and it fell silent instantly.
"Hey, did you see that?" whispered from a crowd of onlookers.
"This man is doing death. "Another mass.
"What's the matter, you guys all have this expression. "This is the masses who don't know the truth.
"You're a mage, I don't know yet, this girl cut down the teacher of the test during the third-district level verification...... The warriors have spread all over the world. The good Samaritan explained.
The camera shifts to Carl's side.
"You, you...... I'm going to make a hole in you!"
The girl in front of her was obviously not a character who was accustomed to calmness, and a two-foot-long straight-backed single-edged sword appeared in her right hand, and her left hand was raised, and Carl was pressed to the ground. Before poor Carl could react, a strong force came from his shoulder, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground in an instant.
"Poof. The single-edged sword fell, stabbing two transparent holes in Carl's mage robe and pinning him to the ground.
"Well, calm down. Carl looked at the girl who was pressing on him, and a cold sweat broke out on his head.
"Humph!"
The petite girl snorted coldly, pulled out the single-edged sword, withdrew it, glanced around, and got up to leave.
Carl rubbed his chest, which was a little painful from the girl's knees, got up, looked at the other party's departing back, and could vaguely hear that you are a child, and your whole family is a child or something.
Carl sighed secretly, is this a bad year, just after lunch, he bumped into the incident, and he bumped into two in a row.
Carl, who felt that he was not fit to travel today, found a bench on the side of the road, took a random miscellaneous book from Pache Li, and passed the few hours.
......
Karl, who was fascinated by the book, didn't pay attention to the time, and didn't wake up until the street lights above him came on.
"It's half past six. Carl pulled out his pocket watch and looked at the time.
Carl closed the book, prepared to have dinner and went to White Mist Square, which was the designated place for this second test, where everyone in the ten districts took the final assessment.
There are always changes in the second test questions for admission to Yarlin Academy every year, and I don't know what it is this year, but Tutor Nolan also said that it is not directly related to combat effectiveness, so I can probably take advantage of it.
Carl, who had eaten his meal, stopped to look at a scrolling screen near the academy gate.
Above are the rankings and ratings of all of them after this try.
[1st place, Alexia, 3rd district, 15 years old, dual-wielding swordsman, silver lower position, evaluation ss]
[Second place, Claude, District 6, 16 years old, Great Swordsman, Silver Lower, Evaluation]
[Third place, Water Without Moon Dome, District 8, 15 years old, Water Mage, Level 6, Evaluation]
Carl looked at the top three, but he didn't expect Shui Wuyueqiong's excellent performance to only rank third, and he didn't know where he was.
The scrolling screen scrolled through the pages, and Carl couldn't help but feel a little anxious because he didn't see himself, but the screen didn't scroll slowly, and soon Carl saw himself-
[Number 1,766, Karl, District 8, 16 years old, Fire Mage, Level 3, Evaluation E]
Well, the last place, a total of 1,766 people passed the first attempt.
Carl wiped the cold sweat from his head.
At this time, two students wearing college uniforms were also watching the big screen.
"Why is it a mage at the bottom this time, isn't it all our warriors?"
"I seem to have heard a little rumor that the fire mage used the feather fall technique to make up the numbers, and the teacher in charge of the test was about to vomit blood, and the score given to him was a tumultuous drop. β
"I'll go with the feather fall technique, I've never heard of this kind of strange thing before. β
Karl coughed heavily and hurried away.
To be reasonable, Karl's current practice time is still too short, only two and a half months.
And it has not been studied systematically.
White Mist Square.
More than a thousand people gathered together, and on the high platform opposite the square, an old man in a dark red mage robe stood there holding on to the railing, and the sound of the audience slowly disappeared.
Under the gaze of a magister, no one dares to be presumptuous.
[I'm Vice Dean Herbert. γ
[Let me talk about the rules.] γ
[To put it simply, the second test question this time is a maze, and the criterion for judging the merits is when you can leave the exit, no matter what method you use, more than a thousand people will fail.] γ
[There is no failure penalty for the first two hundred in a try, but it will determine whether the academy is inclined to your resources.] γ
[Inside the maze, there is a ghost scratch, and if you are caught, you will lose your mobility for ten minutes.] γ
In just a few words, the rules are clear, but-
What about the labyrinth?
Just when Carl was puzzled, the square under his feet showed the lines of yellow light, and Carl's eyes flashed, and he immediately lost his judgment.
In front of him was the wall of the labyrinth that had just broken through the ground. The walls of the labyrinth were five meters high, and Carl tapped them with his hand to feel the intensity, it was completely impossible for him to penetrate them.
Eight-ring maze, the eight-ring group is randomly teleported.
I don't know if there are any other spells.
Carl unleashed his mental powers, but when he hit the wall, he was bounced back like flowing water meets rocks. After giving himself the blessing of the Feather Fall Technique, Carl jumped three meters high, and then borrowed force from the rough labyrinth wall to jump to a height of five meters, but his outstretched hand touched an invisible barrier.
It's like there's an invisible ceiling.
"So you have to go through the maze. Carl took a deep breath as he landed.
Looking up at the stars that had gradually appeared in the sky that had dimmed: "Anyway, this is considered outside......
Suddenly, an old voice spread throughout the labyrinthβ
[The direction of the exit will be marked every half hour, and now, the second test begins.] γ
A dazzling light suddenly rose from the sky at seven o'clock, completely illuminating the entire labyrinth, and then extinguished.
"Is the exit in that direction?" Karl turned to look at the extinguished light.
Leaning against the wall, Carl closed his eyes.
The viewpoint rises sharply and encompasses the entire labyrinth.
The maze is very large and complicated, and if you are not prepared to walk around headlessly, there are dozens of forks from Carl's position to the exit, and there are also forks in the wrong route, and you may not be able to get out for three hours.
There are a large number of black spots like himself in the maze, and there are some white spots, which are the so-called ghosts, Carl took a closer look, in fact, they are just seniors released by the academy, and these ghosts are still on standby, and they have not set off.
Ten minutes later, Carl opened his eyes, the path had been planned, and he could just walk out, just check if there were any ghosts approaching every once in a while.
Carl hadn't gone far to a T-shaped intersection, where a priest boy stood and muttered to himself, and Carl listened carefully as he passed by.
"My lord is above, bless me to choose the right path. After praying several times, the priest popped up a gold coin, and when the coin landed, it was obverse.
"Well, that's it. β
Then Karl looked at the other side with a black line as he walked in the direction of the road from which he had come.
In the labyrinth, almost all means of reconnaissance are restricted, and it is impossible to climb the path along the maze no matter what.
Carl couldn't help but be glad that his star eyes were not restricted.
Carl once again felt the magic of his natural skill, and all along, as long as the conditions were met, he was not hindered.
However, it didn't take long for Carl's conclusion that he had to follow the labyrinthine path was overturned.
