So what exactly is the text?

Unlike the Empire's common script, the square font has never been seen......

It's simple, but it's ......

I can't put it into words, that wonderful feeling......

But for sure, it must be a very old script!

Old?

But it has never been recorded in the history of ancient magic......

Is it really just a kind of writing in the middle of nowhere, as the kid said?

Why is there no record of this kind of writing?

Where did that kid learn this kind of writing?

It's weird......

"Huh, Dea, what's wrong with you today, you didn't take notes? It's not like you!"

"Huh?" Dia, who has navy blue hair, came back to her senses and smiled at her roommate next to her, "I'm thinking about something, so I'm distracted, Himy, can you lend me a note later?"

"Of course," said the girl named Himi, shrugging her shoulders and teasing her with a strange expression, "is it really thinking about something? or...... Thinking about someone?"

"Who can I think of?" Dia smiled and took the note from her friend's hand.

"This ......" Himi was stunned, too, in her eyes, her roommate is quiet, well-behaved, and is recognized by all professors as a 'top student', only going back and forth in the dormitory, classroom, and library every day, almost not participating in any social activities, and has coldly refused the invitation of the boys in the upper class many times, how can such a person think of 'someone'?

"Are you thinking about the magician assessment that the professor talked about? No, if you don't have faith, then I don't have a little hope?"

"Assessment?" Diya was stunned, and couldn't help but show a little knowing smile on her face.

'This...... I'm not good at memorizing...... And a week later there was an exam on the history of ancient magic...... So ......'

I don't know how that kid did on the exam, did he pass the first-grade exam on the history of ancient magic?

"Himi ......"

"Huh?"

"The first-year history of ancient magic exam is over, right?"

"First Grade?History of Ancient Magic?Hmm...... It seems like yesterday, is there anyone you know in the first grade, why do you ask this question?"

"It's nothing, just ask!" Smile and stand up, Dia gathered away the notes on the table.

"By the way, Dia, the professor agreed to the party that the boys were talking about, but not too late...... Looks like it's just tonight, can we go together?"

"I'm sorry, Himy, I ......"

"I know I know," said Himi helplessly, "I'm just asked to ask casually, and I know you've never had much interest in this kind of thing, so...... Are you going to the library now?"

"Well, yes!" Dia smiled.

"Whew...... Then I'll go alone!"

"Yes!" Dia nodded, tugging at her magical robes and walking in the direction of the library.

Will the kid named Thor be in the library today?

It hadn't been a week since that day that Dia hadn't met the kid with dark blond hair, and his name, she remembered, was Soth.

Like himself, he didn't like to talk, and only buried himself in copying materials on the history of ancient magic...... A very interesting child.

Will he be in the library today? Will he be copying a lot of materials in his hand like he did that day?

Thinking about it, Dia felt a little funny, that kid, did he really plan to take out those cheat sheets in the assessment, under the professor's nose?

This kind of thing has never happened since the opening of the school......

Hee-hee!

Braving the drizzle, she arrived at the library, and Dia glanced inside.

The absence of the child made her slightly disappointed, but when she borrowed a copy of the Elemental Theory and was about to find a place, there was a slight smile in her eyes: wasn't the magician apprentice with dark blonde hair sitting in the corner?

She walked over softly, looked at the child sitting in the corner with a book in her hand, sighed, and somehow, felt a little funny.

"Hey!" was Dia's first time taking the initiative to greet someone.

The one with the unique, dark blonde hair was Jiang Zhe, who turned his head suspiciously after hearing the greeting, and said listlessly, "Hi ......"

"Are you having any problems?" said Dia with a smile as she sat down in the seat across from her.

"Difficult? yes, it's very difficult...... Jiang Zhe said weakly, holding his head in one hand and turning the pages of the book in the other.

"That...... Have you passed that test, ...... about the history of ancient magic?"

"Don't mention it," looking up at the girl opposite, Jiang Zhe weakly took out a piece of paper from his arms and slapped it on the table, "A complete failure!"

Glancing at the words 'make-up exam' on the paper, Dia couldn't help but chuckle, and then felt inappropriate, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I ......"

"Laugh if you want. Jiang Zhe turned the pages of the book and yawned, and said indifferently.

Looking at the other party's expression, Dia forced a smile and asked, "You...... Did you really use it?"

Jiang Zhe naturally understood what the girl meant, shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "I didn't have time!"

"Huh?" said Dia, puzzled.

Looking at the girl's puzzled appearance, Jiang Zhe let out a long sigh.

Alas...... I didn't have time!

It's so cunning!......

The assessment was conducted in a large classroom, with more than 300 first-year students together, and there were only two professors who invigilated the exam, one was Professor Jiang Zhe and Professor Huo De, and the other was an unknown old magician.

The mode of assessment is very simple, which is equivalent to the written test of Jiang Zhe in his previous life.

Jiang Zhe had carefully observed that the old magician was only sitting at the front of the classroom, flipping through a seemingly ancient parchment codex by himself, and yawning a few times from time to time, looking very harmless.

And Professor Huo De walked back and forth in the classroom from time to time, the route was very simple, that is, going in circles, Jiang Zhe calculated, according to Professor Huo De's footsteps, from the back of the classroom to the front, it would take a total of one and a half minutes, and this time, enough for Jiang Zhe to take out the cheat sheet from the magic robe and find the corresponding answers to the exam questions - for this kind of thing, he was already familiar with it.

In addition, there were no cameras or anything like that in the classroom, and no students or professors walked outside the window, all of which created favorable conditions for Jiang Zhe's great career, and what was even more favorable was that it seemed that God deliberately favored him, and his seat was placed at the back of the classroom......

What a favorable condition!

In his more than ten years of examination career in his previous life, Jiang Zhe had never encountered anything so beneficial to him......

For the sake of prudence, Jiang Zhe did not choose the time when Professor Huo De turned around, but waited until he walked to the center of the classroom before he put his left hand into the magic robe, but at this moment, a hand reached over and tapped lightly on the table......

Jiang Zhe looked up in amazement, but saw Professor Huo De looking at him with a smile, stretched out his hand, and said silently with his mouth: Bring it!

That's fake, right?

I was in the middle of the classroom just now......

"Haven't you heard of the magic of 'flashing,' South?" Professor Hodd said with a smile as he leaned down.

Okay......

Jiang Zhezhi felt the corners of his eyes twitch, and said in a low voice, "Do you have eyes behind your back?"

Professor Huo De smiled, stretched out his hand to Jiang Zhe's eyelid, and then pointed to the back of the classroom, Jiang Zhe turned his head in confusion, but did not find anything unusual...... Wait a minute!

What are those pale blue things that resemble a pair of eyes?

"'True Eye', Soth!" Professor Hodd said with a smile, and then beckoned to Jiang Zhe, the meaning was obvious.

"......" is too despicable and cunning, isn't it?

What kind of 'real eye' thing floating around the exam room is better than a camera, right?

"Can't you be accommodating?

Professor Hodd smiled wryly and shook his head.

"I've been preparing ...... for a long time"

Professor Hodd rolled his eyes.

Deaf! Depressed, Jiang Zhe was very unwilling to hand over all the cheat sheets in his arms.

Yes, all of them, and who can guarantee that there is no strange magic in this classroom?

Looking at the large mass of parchment, Professor Huo De couldn't cry or laugh, read a few unknown syllables in his mouth, and only heard a slight 'whirring' sound, Jiang Zhe's high-intensity work for several hours suddenly turned into a pile of ashes.

The sound caught the attention of some of the students in the classroom, and Professor Hodd shouted, "What are you looking at?

As he spoke, he glanced at Jiang Zhe again, looking at him lying listlessly on the table, crying and laughing and walking forward.

When he walked to the front of the classroom, he was flipping through the old magic of the old parchment scroll codex and laughed, "Funny little ghost!"

"yes!" Professor Hodd said, turning his head and smiling.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

"'Flashing' and 'True Eyes'?" said Dea, whose eyes turned into crescent moons as she pointed her finger to her cheek, "Are these two very advanced magics? I haven't learned ...... them."

Jiang Zhe exhaled depressedly.

"And what about later?"

"Later?" Jiang Zhe showed a strange expression, looking at the note on the table with the re-examination written on it......

It's so cunning!

Looking at the pale blue 'eyes' floating in the classroom, Jiang Zhe was speechless.

Glancing in Scott's direction, the guy was concentrating on answering the exam questions, looking at the speed of writing, it was clear that the exam questions did not bother him.

couldn't help but look in Allen's direction again......

Uh, isn't it? That guy is sleeping?

Yes, it looks like we're in company!

Wait, now is not the time to think!

If you can't pass the assessment, it's over!

Damn...... I copied the ...... for hours.

Question 1: The author of "The Refining of Boiled Salt" and the composition of the formula.

Not...... Author...... Charles William? and so on...... I've copied this!

It's Wei ...... What's the matter?

Aha! Wilson!

As for this recipe...... How do you remember that kind of complicated thing?

Hmm, the refining of boiled salt...... Boil salt and seawater with fire?

Question 2: The outstanding contribution of the great magician Pushos to mankind.

Damn!How do I know what he has contributed?!

Kindness...... Psyus was a great great magician, a milestone in the history of magic, and an outstanding and indelible contribution to the course of magic!

So be it!

Question 3: Briefly describe the difference between the fire elemental and the wind element.

Damn! Did I make that thing up?!

Not...... Let's scribble a few symbols, the handwriting is blurry......

Question 4: Briefly describe the basic shapes of magic.

I know this! Ball, arrow, ring, shield...... What else?

Damn, can't remember...... Then write and wait!

Question 5: Please list any spell and gesture for a level 1 magic, and state the special name of the magic, as well as the relevant progression.

No way!

Isn't it an assessment of the history of ancient magic?

Kindness...... A small fireball, which can be upgraded to a large fireball...... The mantra is...... Gotta make the handwriting blurry......

The special surname is ...... Fire...... Fire burns, yes, with a scorching, flammable effect......

Question 6...... Oh my God, are there a hundred questions like this?

Even if you can make it up, you can't make it up......

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

"Will burn...... Giggle," listening to the child's narration on the other side, Dia couldn't help but laugh, "Big fireball...... There are no big fireballs, small fireballs are first-level magic, advanced magic fireballs are second-level magic, and the advanced fireballs can be fire shields or violent fireballs, and there are no big fireballs, giggle......"

Raising his head depressedly, Jiang Zhe asked, "You know so much, you major in fire magic?"

"No," Dia shook her head and said, "I'm majoring in water magic, well, and I heard from the professor that water magic can perform illusions, so I also went to illusion classes, but that requires a lot of mental power, unfortunately......" she said, she stuck out her tongue cutely.

"That's good......" Jiang Zhe said envious and depressed, causing Dia to giggle.

"So what are you going to do......? Soth?"

"What should I do?" Jiang Zhe glanced up at the parchment in the distance on the table, spread out his hand and said helplessly, "What else can I do......?" I was ......dizzy when I looked at it," he said, remembering something, and looked up and asked, "Have you carried it before?"

"Yes!" Dia nodded.

"Passed?"

"Yes!" Dia nodded amusedly.

Jiang Zhe's expression was incredible, looking at the book in his hand, and then at the girl in front of him, he was devastated.

Looking at his listless appearance, Dia smiled and said, "Actually, it's very simple...... If a magician has helped you perform the art of 'memory', it will be even easier......"

"Isn't it?" Jiang Zhe's eyes widened.

"That's it, the purpose of this course is to make us remember what is written in the book, so as to reduce mistakes, magic below level 3 is fine, if magic above level 3, once there is a mistake, it may cause misfortune...... You can ask your family magician to help you cast a mnemonic, so you don't have to go through the hassle...... Soth?"

“...... Unfortunately, I'm not an aristocrat!" Jiang Zhe said with a shrug.

As if realizing that she had said the wrong thing, Dia hurriedly said, "I don't mean anything else, you can also ask the professor of Reox to help you cast this magic ......"

A professor at Reox?

I only seem to know Professor Huode, but looking at the agreement he made with himself, it doesn't seem like he will 'help' this.

"Forget it, I believe I can do it!"

What a confident look......

"If you don't mind, I can help you...... I don't have the magic of the professors, but I know the spell......"

"You?" Jiang Zhe raised his head in surprise, and suddenly his eyes changed slightly.

The direct gaze made Dia a little unnatural, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she lowered her head and said, "Yes...... Any questions?"

"We haven't seen each other before, have we?" Jiang Zhe asked with a thick question on his face, "I don't mean a week ago, I mean earlier!"

"No......"

"It's strange!" Why does it feel familiar? Jiang Zhe shook his head and put the question behind him, stood up and said, "I'm going back...... No way, if you can't pass the make-up exam, it will be more troublesome!"

Dia was stunned and said, "Don't you need me to help you?"

"Thank you, but you don't need to!" Jiang Zhe shook his head and said seriously, "My goal is to become a powerful magician, if you need help from others to get started, then what about ...... later?" he glanced at Dia and said with a smile, "I don't want to owe favors to others - you have already helped me once!"

"How ......"

"Well, goodbye!"

"Wait for ......" was only halfway through the words, and Dia saw the child turn away, biting her lip, slightly dissatisfied in her heart.

Why is he like this!, however, his eyes ...... Really confident!

At this time, Jiang Zhe was walking out of the library, looking back at the towering tower, and said secretly in his heart.

I must be a powerful magician!

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

A week later, in the dormitory!

"The concept of green magic!"

"Use the magic of physical strength, rely on a series of means such as spells and gestures, and achieve fluctuations corresponding to external elements, so as to achieve the purpose of casting magic!"

"Hmm...... That's about it!"

Closing the book in his hand with a snap, Scott turned his head to look at Jiang Zhe who was clinical, looked at his heavy dark circles, and said with a smile, "It should be no problem, Soth!"

"Huh......" With a long exhale, Jiang Zhe fell on the bed weakly and said, "I definitely don't want to endure this experience a second time!"

"Hehe," Scott said with a faint smile and looking at the star-shaped pattern on the ceiling, "I admire you for daring to ...... Haha, in the history of Reox, nothing like this has ever happened!"

"I'd rather not have this kind of admiration!" Jiang Zhe said weakly.

Scott was stunned, pushed his glasses, and said disapprerovingly, "That's also a means, just like those nobles who use 'mnemonics', but the standard of Reochs is to remember that knowledge, not pass the assessment, so you were brushed off...... But either way, it's much better than some idiot who doesn't know how to go!"

"That idiot, do you mean me?" asked Allen, who was lying on the bed, pulling back the covers.

"What do you think?" said Scott, mockingly.

After living in Reochs for half a month, the three of them are relatively familiar with each other, and it doesn't matter if they make this kind of joke, although Scott's sentence is not a joke.

It's strange to say that Scott, who was born in the upper echelons of the empire, can get along well with Jiang Zhe, a 'commoner', but for Allen, who is also a nobleman, Scott is not in that good mood, maybe he can't get used to the usual words and deeds of the 'future battle mage', and thinks it will damage the nobles.

But then again, although Alan looked giggling, he had a very good temper, and as always, he shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently, "Anyway, if you can't pass this time, the old guy can't say anything." As he spoke, he took out a long sword from under the bed and wiped it.

Jiang Zhe may have seen it for the first time, and pointed to the long sword and said in surprise, "Alan, this thing can't be brought into Reoks, right?"

"Of course," Alan shrugged and smiled, "Even the professors of Reox can't rummage through students' things for no reason, hehe, I still have a whole set of armor, do you want to see it?"

"Excuse me!" Jiang Zhe turned his head speechlessly and asked Scott, "What are you doing this week?"

Scott understood the meaning of Jiang Zhe's words, and said while lying on the bed flipping through the book, "It's nothing, it's just the foundation of some magic, it's quite boring, the real magic course will not start until the end of the ancient magic history assessment...... As I said, either pass the exam or leave Reokes......"

"But you didn't say there was such a thing as a make-up exam!" Jiang Zhe pouted, and Alan echoed on the side.

"Really?" Scott smiled as he pushed his glasses, "That's what I forgot......"

...... "Good guys!

Jiang Zhe rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Well, these two who live with me are what kind of weird guys!

One guy spends his days flipping through boring magic books that ordinary people can't read and won't read, and another guy talks about 'future knights' and 'future battle mages' all day long, and always talks about the eight virtues of knights......

But it's weird, people are not bad......

"Let's go, Soth, it's dinner time, it's rude to be late!"

"Good!"

"Hey, wait for me, guys!"

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Jiang Zhe finally passed the assessment of the history of ancient magic, and Professor Huo De also taught the second-level magic 'fireball' technique to Jiang Zhe in advance as agreed.

Although he passed the make-up exam, Jiang Zhe was the first of the entire first-year students to learn magic - Professor Huo De did not deceive him.

In this way, Jiang Zhe became a real first-year student of Ruiox, and the door of magic was already open to him!

As for Allen...... The 'future battle mage' didn't pass until the third retake, as Scott said.

'Pass or leave Reochs, it's as simple as that!' - anyone who enters Reochs can pass that test, the difference is only the time it takes.

Of course, graduation is not the case!

PS: I need a lot of names...... I can't think enough of it myself......
