Chapter 90: The Atlas Alchemy
Ethan studied in the mechanical department of the Atlas Alchemy Academy, and his identity as an alchemist was admitted by himself without delaying his studies, so it is indeed not an exaggeration for Jiang Chenchuan to call it "learning God" before.
At this time, this god of learning was wrapped in a thick coat, squatting at the door of the Atlas Alchemy Academy, smoking a cigarette, his face was full of decadence, and he didn't look awake at all.
Of course, there was an old acquaintance who came to welcome them this time, Thoma, who was drooping his face, and couldn't even squeeze out a polite smile.
Listening to Ethan, the last "Field Trip to the Origin of Black Goat Horns" report was not the worst story of Thoma, who delayed graduation for three years, and the subject teacher set up a make-up exam for the absence of difficult topics in order to release water to him, and as a result, Thoma just started the exam, because of the explosion of the laboratory of the biochemistry department next door, causing him to miss the exam again.
It is estimated that the fourth year of research is already a sure thing, and Thoma is so desperate that he gives up the struggle and decides to fight again next year.
In short, only Rena had the happiest smile among the four.
Ethan didn't wake up because he stayed up all night yesterday to write a research report, and it wasn't until he saw the sky outside the window that he remembered that he had an appointment with Rena today, and he simply cleaned up in the laboratory and came out to greet him.
So all the way in, it was basically Thoma who was introducing the situation of the Atlas Alchemy Academy to Rena, and the school's emblem was a pattern similar to a "mechanical scale", symbolizing the most famous "equivalent exchange" theory in the alchemy world.
Atlas Alchemy Academy is a special college, and it is also the only alchemy-based academy in Polnia, and the enrollment method is special and secret, even a noble lady like Rena has not been successfully enrolled.
In addition to this, the rest are no different from ordinary colleges, with various professional factions, a unified academic year system with the outside world, and a rigorous graduation process.
The rule of the Atlas Alchemy Academy is that if you can't successfully complete the course and complete the project report, you will not be able to graduate, and it can be extended indefinitely, in other words, you can extend the academy for a lifetime.
Students who are unable to graduate are bound by the college, abide by strict school rules, and are unable to obtain employment qualifications for the rest of their lives.
Therefore, on the issue of graduation, the teacher will give this group of poor students a net open, as long as it is not too separated, they will not give a "fail" result, perhaps, Thoma's luck is the most special exception.
"There are no regular channels for further education and admission, so how did you all get into the Alchemy Academy?"
Ethan and Thoma looked at each other, neither of them answering Rena's doubts, only saying a thought-provoking word.
"Who knows, it doesn't have to be an exam, right?"
Ethan shrugged his shoulders and replied seemingly casually, continuing to walk inside, the interior of the Atlas Alchemy was larger than they had imagined, and the campus had obviously been carefully maintained, with the scenery and greenery to the extreme, which was a completely different style from King Street, walking around the campus, occasionally passing by a few students.
"Miss Rena, what do you see?"
They came to a sculpture with white stone statues of arms held high, palms of both hands open upward, as if holding something, but above the palms of the hands, a blurred mist.
"What...... None of them. ”
"Look at it with your heart, this is our entrance ceremony, through your eyes, dissecting your soul, to decide which department you will enter in the future."
Thoma was guiding softly.
Rena raised her head and looked towards the top of the statue, this was a step that reminded Jiang Chenchuan of the sorting ceremony at Hogwarts, but the Atlas Alchemy Academy had more specialized departments and was more complicated.
"I saw ......"
Feeling that there was some kind of mysterious power surging in Rena's body, she slowly raised her hand, as if she wanted to touch something, and then Jiang Chenchuan noticed that she no longer strung the ring around her neck, but wore it directly on her index finger.
"There were dancing flames in the mist, and ...... The immortal bird, which symbolizes eternal life and stubbornness, is welcoming a new life. ”
"If other students had the same literary talent as Miss Rena, there would be no misclassification of departments."
Thoma couldn't help but sigh.
Even Ethan cheered up, revealing a little interest:
"Flames? Immortal birds? You can really see it...... If you have the opportunity to enroll, I'm afraid you will be assigned to the elemental department. ”
"Elemental? What is that? ”
Rena was a little surprised, but Ethan didn't seem to plan to go on, and Thoma also reacted in the same way, so far, alchemy is full of more mysteries and rules for the original world, and it has also become a blind spot in Jiang Chenchuan's knowledge.
"What about you? Ewelly. ”
Ethan asked casually, but in fact, he cared more about what Jiang Chenchuan could see than Rena's test.
I didn't want to participate, but hearing Ethan say this, Jiang Chenchuan was also a little curious, he raised his eyes slightly, and his azure pupils looked at the mist, only feeling that in the hazy world, there seemed to be something, and there seemed to be nothing.
In a brief contact, he could feel the power in his body being mobilized, as if it was drilling into the mist, and then, the fog dispersed, revealing the picture in the mist.
It's darkness, it's endless darkness, there's no light, there's no bench, not even the eyes that are called "omniscient."
It's just him, it's just him.
But it was obviously him, Jiang Chenchuan's body, but at this moment, he became extremely unfamiliar, like a cold corpse, lying there motionless with his eyes closed.
It's strange, it's an indescribable sense of sadness, and it's a little inexplicably heroic.
"No, it's just a professional test, Ewell, what did you see, and it can make you cry?"
Ethan's words pulled him back to reality from the foggy picture, and Jiang Chenchuan reacted at this time, tears crossed the corners of his eyes, and he wiped them away in surprise.
It's weird.
He seemed to have felt so sad for a long, long time.
"Nothing."
"Are you sure?"
Ethan wouldn't believe this deceitful tone.
"Yes, nothing, only myself."
"Only you?"
Ethan's expression was strange, and even Thoma looked incredulous.
"What's wrong? Any questions? ”
"I enrolled in the Department of Mechanics because I saw a huge hammer and a heart made of machinery in that fog, and if Ewelle didn't lie to us, seeing myself represented a disciplinarian tendency and an elementless symbol, ......"
"What is it?"
Rena asked, puzzled.
"You can't get into the Atlas Alchemy Academy."
