"Oh, yes, I don't know much about the selection of other departments, but the selection process of the magic guidance department is probably to test the magic energy sensing ability and the cognition of the magic rune, and then make a written test questionnaire and hand it to the invigilator teacher, and the teacher will judge whether it is qualified or not on the spot, and the questionnaire is basically a question to test the logical ability of new students, but basically it is not too difficult. ”

Although he seemed a little unsatisfied that his genius history was interrupted halfway, Senior Sao Nian still answered Cheruth's question very responsibly.

Cheruth nodded, the magic energy sensing ability is whether you can sense and mobilize the magic energy in your body, and the cognitive ability of the magic runes is to test whether you can understand the meaning of the 41 magic runes and actually write them out and combine them, whether it is Cheruth who copied the ability of the shadow demon wolf and taught herself to become a magic guide technician or Nanoha who is a humanoid magic guide herself, the examination of these two abilities will not be too problematic, but the questionnaire that examines the logical ability makes Chelus a little worried about Nanoha, but I think that the first two tests of Nanoha's ability can definitely get a high score, then the latter item should not be too much of a problem even if it is almost there.

Seeing that the main road came to an end, a large square several times larger than the entrance appeared in front of the three of them.

"This is the central square of the college, and when the school officially opens in April, there are often some events here, and now all the new students of the department are selected here. ”

Sure enough, the square was divided into four areas, full of old students wearing college uniforms to maintain order and anxious candidates for the exam.

Because of the need for written examinations, there are several temporary large tents at the selection site, and rows of seats with awnings are set up outside the tents as waiting areas.

Chelus and Nanoha followed the seniors who led the way, and soon came to the examination center of the Department of Magic.

"So, before you get called, sit here and rest. ”

Saying this, the senior who led the way looked away, as if he wanted to say something more, but Cheruth, who had already guessed the development of the plot, spoke decisively.

"Okay, thank you so much, senior!"

Pulling Nanoha to bow slightly politely, sure enough, the poor senior, who was suddenly thanked so solemnly by the two girls, looked a little embarrassed under the gaze of the people around him, and the invitation that he had planned to ask for his name and get the contact information to get the opportunity to go out and play together was choked back all of a sudden, so he had to smile stupidly.

"Ah, it's okay, we are also following the arrangement of the student council of the college to guide the selection of participants...... Well, good luck to you. ”

Looking at the bleak back of the senior who didn't even report his name in the end, when he left, the sympathetic Nanoha couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"That kind senior, why did he look like he wasn't in a good mood when he left, did we do something wrong?"

"It's okay Nanoha, it's good for young people when some unrealistic delusions are shattered sooner. ”

"Although I don't understand what you mean, it seems to be very vicissitudes......"

The corners of Cheruth's mouth twitched.

She won't say that this is her experience when she was still an otaku in college, and she collected all the good person cards, friend cards, brother cards, and ten refused to use the card, and the single dog couldn't afford to hurt the card......

For civilians who don't know about magician engineering and magic, they only know that becoming a magician doesn't require as much magical talent as becoming a magician, so there is a misconception that becoming a magician is much easier than becoming a magician. Coupled with the prevalence of magic guidance engineering in the Lorris Kingdom, the magic guidance department is a big hit when the national college opens every year, but in fact, for people who are really talented in magic guidance engineering, the competition is not too fierce.

After all, what the study of magic engineering really values is actually the individual's cognition of magic runes, and people who are born with a high talent in this area are actually not much more than those who are born with a high magic ability to sense and are suitable for becoming magicians.

However, apparently this did not cause any problems for Chelus and Nanoha, and Chelus was naturally out of laziness, fear of trouble, and looking forward to the opportunity to satisfy her low-key pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and she did not take out the rune code she designed for the Seagull Chamber of Commerce to make the old man who was invigilator shocked. As for Nanoha, with the special ability of her body, she easily got a high score in the cognition of magic runes and was noticed by the invigilator, which made the chestnut-haired girl still a little dizzy even after walking out of the examination room with the envious and jealous eyes of other candidates after the exam.

"Wow...... What about Cheruth? I didn't intend to be like this......"

Holding the admission certificate with a special magic mark exclusive to the freshmen of the academy in her hand, Nanoha, who was frightened by the teachers whose eyes lit up as if they had discovered a treasure, muttered a little bitterly.

As a humanoid magic guide, let alone a cognitive rune, the mode of operation of the magic energy represented by each rune can be freely simulated by Nanoha in the magic crystal circuit in her body...... It is estimated that the teacher who asked Nanoha to use the magic crystal circuit board to sense 41 magic runes did not expect that there would be candidates in this world who did not draw runes on the magic crystal board through spiritual power, but directly input the magic energy information of the runes directly from the body to the magic crystal board.

"It's okay Nanoha, just remember not to easily agree to those teachers as their apprentices, and those who get high marks on the entrance exam and worry about it will be cursed by the losers. ”

Apprentices are different from regular students in that they are able to receive personal instruction and additional instruction from their teachers in addition to attending classes as regular students at the Academy, similar to graduate students at Earth University. None of the people who can serve as a teacher in the magic guidance department at the Loris National Academy are mediocre people, so it is only natural that they hope to find a highly qualified student like Nanoha as their disciple.

"Huh, curse?"

"It is full of the deep resentment of the people who suffered misfortune in the exam, the winners of the exam, the top students, and the gods. ”

"Huh, am I hated? Oops...... I wouldn't have taken it so seriously if I had known. ”

Tyrant-chan, it seems that not only do you have the potential for magic cannons, but you also have a strong talent for distributing map cannons to most of those who didn't do well in the exam as an honor student.

Along the way they came, the two of them quickly returned to the main entrance of the academy, because it was now afternoon, and there were still many newcomers and old students who had come to take the selection examination in the main entrance square.

Without stopping long, the two men walked out of the main gate and walked in the direction of the city of Alrante.

"Cheruth, shall we go home now?"

"No, it's still early, I want to go down to the hill first. ”

Hearing that name, Nanoha's face suddenly became a little subtle.

"Ah, you're going to the kid......"

"It's okay, it's like I told you not to promise those teachers to be their apprentices, as long as you don't agree to sign a contract with her, there's nothing to fear. ”

Leave the dangerous things like signing a contract with that guy to the Circle God, Chelus muttered to herself.

Instead of returning to the fruit shop, the two bought two crepes on the side of the street and ate them while making a detour towards the house of the man named "Hilllock".

"It should be in this area, where is the ...... here?"

Throwing the crepe wrapper into a nearby bin, Cheruth stood at an intersection and looked around.

"Hey, Cheruth, have you been here so many times and haven't you been able to remember the way?"

For some reason, Nanoha has been respectful of the person Cheruth is going to visit since the first acquaintance, and has not been to this person's house a few times, but Cheruth often goes to the other party's house to discuss things for business reasons, and Nanoha also thinks that Cheruth should be very familiar with how to get to the other party's house.

"Ahaha...... Because almost every time you come here, there will be obvious location prompts, so I haven't deliberately memorized the specific route, well, don't worry, according to past experience, you should have been able to hear it here. ”

"Huh?"

Nanoha was tempted to ask what Chelus's "obvious hint" was, but before she could ask, an explosion suddenly came from a small alley not far away.

"Ah, there you have it, Nanoha's side. ”

As if she had been waiting for the explosion, Cheruth took Nanoha's hand and walked briskly in the direction where the explosion came from. And the people in the surrounding streets seemed to be accustomed to the sound of the explosion.

Thinking back to the first meeting with that person, Nanoha couldn't help but have some black lines, should it be said that it was very child's style.

"Wow!"

Just as the two approached the exploding alley, a blackened, embarrassed figure ran out.

"Don't come, don't come with me!"

As if some beast was chasing after him, the figure of a young man, barely able to be seen, fled from the alley with all his strength, and fled towards the side street.

And immediately, from the mouth of the alley, a crisp girl's voice came again.

"Hey, don't run! The experiment isn't over yet, hey, you've signed a contract with me!"
