Chapter 4 - Competence
Every time the college enrolls students, it can be described as extremely lively, and the whole town rejoices and celebrates like this. The lights were bright for several nights in a row, but a group of people who sacrificed to them did not have this blessing to see such a grand and unprecedented scene. With the sound of a cannon salute, the official test of the academy began, and they followed their test tubes to the main entrance of the academy, because they had spent too much time on those children, and their pace seemed to be extremely hurried.
The main entrance of the academy is much more solemn than the side entrance. It can be said that it is a miniature version of the city gate of Watanabe Castle, even the two mighty stone lions are exactly the same, just a little smaller, the tall and wide school gate, the golden 4 typing [Yanshi Academy] is erected there, and the pen is vigorous and advantageous, and it is from the hands of a famous artist. There are no extravagant decorations inside the school gate, but the 100,000-square-meter playground alone is scary enough, and the plants growing around it are lush and green, and standing in the middle of it can make people feel peaceful. At this time, the field was already full of people, and each team had a team leader in front of them, and that team leader was obviously the tester who did the tests for these children.
In front of this row of test officers, there is a rostrum that is more than 2 meters high and about 20 meters wide, and the person standing on this rostrum, even if you are tall, you have to look up to see his full face. An old man wearing a fiery red robe, looking from a distance, it seems that with the naked eye, you can see layers of red light emitting from all around it, and an old man with white hair walked out from behind the rostrum, you can feel a vigorous and domineering feeling from his body, his voice sounded from the rostrum, and everyone in the audience could clearly hear it, "Students, teachers, adults, I am very happy that this year is the 55th anniversary of the college, and it is also the 55th anniversary of the recruitment of new students." All of you on the field are carefully selected future pillars of the country, and I hope you will show your best abilities in the following tests, of course, if you want to use the relationship, a series of things to fool around, don't even think about it!!"
The whole scene was silent, and the birds were silent. He was not a kind old man, and this feeling instantly spread through the hearts of everyone who was about to be tested. But a hearty laugh broke the peace a few seconds later, "Hahaha~~~ Fire old man...... I'm so old, and I'm still so bold, I really admire and admire it...... Every year, you are the dean here, who dares to cheat and show favoritism? Even if someone dares, can he succeed? For so many years, have you ever let a person succeed?hahahaha~~~", after listening to his words, the dean, who originally had a somewhat serious facial expression, also eased a lot and said with a smile. Prince Mo, don't make fun of me, who doesn't know how much older I am than you, look at how old I have become, but you are still the same as a 30-year-old young man, I want to talk to you about this rejuvenating technique......" After speaking, both of them laughed heartily. The prince who just spoke did look so young and handsome, a silver-white armor wrapped tightly all over his body, only his head leaked out, and it can be seen from the material of the armor that this is definitely not an ordinary color, although it covers the whole body, but it does not give people a feeling of being restrained like an iron bucket, but the feeling that is just close to the body, even if he acts normally, this white armor will not cause any obstruction to his actions.
Standing behind these two were about 40 senior teachers of the college, who were responsible for teaching the faculties of each department, which was divided into the department of refining and the department of controlling things, and there were 6 departments of 6 ages, each of which had a different color of clothing. Of course, this is the student's uniform, and the teacher's only two colors are black and white, black is the refining system, white is the control system, and the color of the uniform only plays a role in distinguishing.
Almost every one of these 40 faculty members straightened their backs, and although they did not have the majesty of the dean, they were also recognized by the college, and they should be treated with great respect even if they were placed anywhere in the country. When I want to become a teacher in an academy, the first thing I have to do is to graduate from this academy! Almost every teacher here is a college that graduated from here, and I don't want to leave and continue to cultivate, so I become a teaching assistant, and then I become a teacher and slowly appreciate in value.
Two of the female teachers looked a little panicked, they stood very close, and the red-haired and black-robed teacher couldn't help muttering, "Why don't these two little ghosts bring people here, this is intended to make the two of us ugly?", the white-robed and black-haired teacher said helplessly, "What's the use of telling me?" After speaking, his eyes continued to look around the field.
The dean's ears moved slightly, and his eyes looked at the small space vacated on the right half of the field, and he instantly understood. He coughed lightly twice and said, "First of all, I would like to explain to all the freshmen present that there are three components of the formal and final test, the first is the ability test, which is the same as the test you did at the beginning, in order to prove whether you have the ability to be a creator. Second, it is to test your strength, simply put, the strength of your ability. Thirdly, it is to test your caste ............"
When he finished the second test, the children of the commoners had already begun to talk to each other, I don't know if it was intentionally divided, the square was obviously divided into two sides, and every child on the left half was a child in a gorgeous costume or formal attire, obviously from a different background. Some of the ones on the right are wearing coarse cloth uniforms issued by the college, and some are still tattered and uneven. Seeing that the dean's speech suddenly stopped, the leaders of the civilian academy immediately took action and began to make the children in charge of them quieter. It wasn't until the audience was quiet again that the dean once explained, "The surname refers to the aspect of your surname with the strongest affinity, according to the now known surnames, there are a total of 5 natural surnames and 4 special surnames, and the 4 natural surnames are: the water of the ocean, the fire of the fire, the natural surname of the forest, the earth of the earth, and the wind of the storm." And the four special castes are: the Qi of the Sky, the Light of Light, the Darkness of the Darkness, and ......" He paused slightly as he said the last word, and added, "There is ...... The life of vitality belongs to the caste. ”。
There are so many words at once, not to mention commoner children, even some aristocratic children have become a little dazed. 5 The natural caste is the most common, and most of them are known. But the next few special surnames are the first time that many people have heard of them. But through the tone of the dean, they can obviously feel that the next 4 special surnames are obviously much better than the natural surnames in the front. Who doesn't want their caste to be above everyone else? Almost all of the children are eager to try. At the same time, a group of uninvited guests also came, and on the field, yes, the two teams that sacrificed them. The heavy wheezing sound made them become a new focus of the audience one by one, especially the fat man lying on the ground all of a sudden, shaking his hands and feet on all fours, not to mention how funny this picture is......
When the red-haired and black-haired women saw this scene, their faces suddenly turned ugly, and they thought to themselves, "It's really time for you to come, it's time to come sooner rather than later, and it's time for so many people to watch." How big of a person are you going to make us lose before you are satisfied?" the dean looked back slightly and said, "Teacher Mir, Teacher Kali, your students and their team are finally here. The dissatisfaction in his tone made the two teachers' faces instantly turn blue. Although the other teachers around him didn't say anything, they could clearly see a smile on their faces, and the red-haired Mir and the black-haired Cali knew instantly that this shame was really lost home. I could only reply with a hard reply, "Yes, Lord Dean." Then he was silent.
And Prince Mo, who was beside him, made a voice at this time, "Old man Huo, it's good...... I didn't expect that you would have to take a physical fitness test from before entering the Creator Academy? When did this start?" The dean's face twitched instantly, and Cali and Mir behind him lowered their heads again and again, and they really wanted to find a hole in the ground to get into. Everyone knew that this was obviously a mockery, as the dean, how could he not know and said in a muffled voice, "Mohit, don't think that you are the younger brother of His Majesty the King, you can do whatever you want and laugh at our Creator Academy at will, don't forget, your Swordsman Academy loses all competitions every year? As the dean of the Swordsman Academy, I don't know how you train your own academy? You better take care of your own academy first." Hmph...... "After that, I stopped paying attention to him." Prince Mo looked at the guy in front of him and glared at him angrily, not to mention how cool it was, where do you estimate what he meant by what he said in the end? Hahahaha......"
After a few minutes, the audience returned to calm again. Originally, more than 144 children were sacrificed together, and after a simple test, only 21 remained, and of course this number included the sacrifice, Aru and Fatty. Being stared at by so many pairs of eyes at once, the priest and Aru Beti were so uncomfortable that they immediately stood straight and slowly adjusted their breath, and their movements were the same as those of the children of other teams around them. And the fat man still lay there as he should, and at some times, Aru and the priest really admired the strength of the fat man's reluctance that could be called courage.
At the same time, the people at the front have already started the test, and each team has an examiner in front of them when they test, and the tester who originally took them to the test has now changed back to their students, and their job is to lead the way, and those who pass the first round of the test will gather around them to go to the different test locations behind. Different degrees of light and sound lit up around them, and the originally quiet playground instantly turned into a duck pond...... The dean and other teachers who were standing on the podium have already left, and now all they have to do is wait for the results. They are not needed for testing and supervision.
There were no surprises in the first round of testing, because everyone passed the test, and the time was very fast, there were more than 2,400 new students, and all of them had finished the test without using 1 hour. There was no cheating either, just like Prince Mo said, who would dare to cheat in the academy? The test results showed that there were more than 1,850 refiners, while there were only about 600 masters. Such a quantitative gap is also normal in the eyes of the academy teachers...... Of course, this does not mean that the Object Control Master is more precious and powerful than the Alchemist......
The second test was much slower than the first, and the students were still standing in a row in an orderly manner, but the location of the test was changed from the playground to the room. There is a door to the left and a door to the right, the Alchemist test area on the left and the Controller test area on the right. The fat man naturally passed through the door on the left, but the sacrifice was a two-way street, and he didn't want to be with the disgusting fat man, so he chose to enter the door of the controller from the right door with Aru, which made the fat man particularly aggrieved, the original 3 people who were the most familiar, those 2 guys actually abandoned him. But the only thing that happened a little unexpected was the sacrifice, although Aru and the sacrifice were on the way to the academy, Aru told the sacrifice a lot of things, but this sacrifice did not participate in the alchemist's test, for him, it was enough to pass one, and he would rather be with Aru than with the fat man. At that time, his crystal ball test showed that it was an ore beast, and although Aru also told him what an ore beast was on the way, the sacrifice still did not match the number. In the end, he told the examiner that he didn't know what it was called, and the examiner looked at the child, and could understand how many children from civilian families could know the ore beast, so he simply asked him to describe the physical characteristics of the ore beast. In this way, the sacrifice barely passed the test. From this point, it can be seen that the test in the college is not the same as the test in the town.
At the beginning of the test, each doorway is a passage, and there are 5 rooms on the left and right sides of the passage, adding up to 10 rooms in total, and the building rooms are the same after the passage of the alchemist and the master is entered, which means that 20 children can be tested at the same time. But this is undoubtedly much slower than the speed measurement speed of nearly 100 test officers on the battlefield.
What embarrassed Aru and the Priest was the imbalance in the ratio of men and women on the Controller's side. The refiners are basically boys, with only a small number of girls, and the opposite is true on the side of the controllers. The male-to-female ratio is almost 50:1. When the other boys saw this, they smiled knowingly, thanking God and the Lord for all their thanks...... Fortunately, although he is a little taller than Aru, the eyebrows between his eyebrows are clear, so that he doesn't feel incongruous among this group of girls, but Aru is different, although he is a little shorter than the sacrifice, but the bronze and blackened skin, the small muscles bulging on the body, and the kiwi fruit mixed in the shelled egg are particularly conspicuous. There are a lot of girls around him whispering about his appearance, and many girls in gorgeous costumes even start pointing directly, which makes him look extremely uncomfortable, if it was a man, maybe he would have gone up to beat him a long time ago, but he was facing girls, which made him extremely entangled.
At the beginning of the test, each student who passed the test will receive a number plate of their own, not so much a number plate as a small piece of iron, but this is not an ordinary piece of iron, this is made by the academy itself, others can not imitate it at all, there is a triangular gray stone piece behind the number plate, on this stone plate, slightly flashing green light. The test of the master is not as overcrowded as the refiner's side, and soon the test of the nobles in front of him is over, and then it is finally the turn of Aru and the priest, they walked into the No. 3 and No. 4 test rooms respectively, and the person in charge of the test asked him to put the number plate on the palm of his hand, and then tried to feel the power on the palm of his hand on a 1-meter legal transparent crystal in front of him. This is the first step in meditation and invocation ability, the sacrifice can be said to be mastered, originally this test was required by the tester to be responsible for the guidance, but the sacrifice suddenly entered the state, so that the tester felt that this child was good, but the value of the test was not so happy for him.
The second test, energy. It refers to the strength value of your body, the higher the value, the light of the test crystal will be about strong, and when it is strong to a certain extent, it will be converted into color, such as white at the beginning, transformed into yellow, blue, until red, purple is the peak. It's a test of your existing energy and how much energy your body can store, which is crucial for future development.
If it is an ordinary person to test, then the test crystal will not reflect, but the test result of the child in front of him is really almost no different from ordinary people, the light reflected by the crystal is extremely weak, almost invisible. This makes the test officer who has been here for many years, the test result is a bit shocking, according to the situation that he entered the state so quickly, it is obvious that he has already been trained in this area, even if he is weak, it should make the crystal glow with colored light, but the crystal in front of him is not to mention the colored light, even the most ordinary light is extremely weak.
The teacher, who had some expectations for him, changed his face from the original surprise back to flat, and said to the priest, "Boy, you can go to the next test location" The priest naturally understood what he meant, just nodded, and walked out of the room.
And on his number plate, there is a white mark on the original triangular stone tablet, and this white mark will follow him for a whole year, until next year's entrance test can be tested and modified, the results of this test are completed by themselves, strong and weak are led by themselves, responsible for the tester, just to do the assistance and supervision.
The priest didn't care about anything, but an exclamation came from the next room, and this exclamation immediately attracted the children who were originally lining up outside the door, and of course, the various leaders who were responsible for maintaining order. I saw Aru walking out of Gate 3 with a smile, and the teacher who was originally testing muttered a few words to Aru and their leader, with a smile on his face as he spoke. The team leader, who was originally a little unclear, instantly patted Aru's shoulder like a small flower, and said, "Little guy, yes, I really can't see that the result of your test is red." "I really want to know what your caste is...... If it's one of the 4 special castes, you're in for a great future...... After saying this, Aru, who was originally a little dazed, also smiled on his face, and looked at the sacrifice on the side jumping and jumping. Many girls who originally pointed at him also seem to have a different attitude towards him.
The second test is also different from the first, that is, you can go to the next test location at any time after the test, and you don't have to wait for your team to complete it. At this time, Aru walked straight forward with the sacrifice, smiling heartily as he walked, which was excitement and joy from the heart. It's just that the attitude of sacrifice seems a little dazed, although he is also happy for Aru's results, but more thinking of himself, he remembers that when he was a child, his grandfather said that he was a wizard of martial arts, and his father said that he was born to be the material of the creator, but why are his test results so poor. Now he doesn't have the same ability as before, even the strength he had when he first started learning was not as good, why is this happening, what happened...... One after another, such questions came to his mind.
With a sound of "bang~", Aru and the priest seemed to have hit something, and both fell to the ground at the same time.
Aru was too excited before, so he was knocked out all of a sudden, got up and rubbed his head, looked at the front of him, and immediately stopped when he seemed to want to say something. What appeared in front of him was a girl who had been knocked down by them, and judging from her figure, she should be a freshman of the same level as them. But the appearance is extremely beautiful, giving people the first feeling of being as pure as an angel, with a melon seed face and snow-white skin...... Dressed in a long white dress, and the priest also woke up from his original loss, his eyes were also deeply attracted by this girl...... At this time, he thought not of this girl's beauty, but of another girl, who fell in love with ......;
