Society is made up of countless sturdy cogs. King Charles apparently didn't have a huge impact on the foundation of the gears, but he apparently used his fingers to speed up or slow down the gears directly. The structure and the way society operates has obviously had an irreversible impact as a result, but life still has to be lived.

Every summer in Van Gand is always very meaningful to parents, in fact, it is not just the summer in Vatican, all summers in Yaris are very significant, because the admissions of various schools are opened. It is said that a good school can lay the foundation for a person's destiny. This theory of cause and effect is most in line with the psychological construction of the people of Yaris, and it is for this reason that parents who can afford to have their children impregnated in the tower to engrave the magic pattern regard admissions as extremely important. Of course, ordinary schools have also gradually risen due to the decrease in the number of people who have engraved magic patterns in recent years, so I will not discuss them in depth here.

Both the Knight Academy and the School of Magic have the same six-year system, progressing from shallow to deep. Although the educational system of each college is different, it is probably a very interesting question that the two have achieved a rare unity over the academic year. Recruited for children as young as eight or nine years old, they need to learn fourteen or fifteen years old before making a decision about whether to go straight to work or continue to learn more difficult magical knowledge.

A significant number of people choose to work, and good schools have a system of free choice, and schools that are a little worse have a system of distribution - after all, it is not very easy to find a good job. However, under Charlie's leadership, Yaris is thriving, and employment opportunities are thriving under a strange social structure......

However, none of this has anything to do with Merlin, because his mission today is to take the exam of the Central Academy of Magic, and if he can get a decent score, then he will be admitted. Although it cannot be said that it is a related household, it can be regarded as a half related household. Generally speaking, the passable grades will probably be brushed down in the first round of written exams, and there will be no follow-up opportunities for him at all.

Sheldon was actually a little ashamed of what helped Merlin pass the exam. Because he didn't have time to have a systematic understanding of the body of knowledge that Merlin was about to learn, he couldn't go to the corresponding preschool...... He could only prepare for exams in a form of self-study. The stakes are obviously great - as the so-called dead horse is a live horse doctor, Sheldon can only do that. From a father's point of view, Sheldon was caught off guard and unqualified.

The doors of the Central Academy of Magic were finally opened, and children from all over the country dressed in various forms of clothing, excited, excited, worried, or confused as they walked deeper into the small door. One by one, their eager, longing, or hopeful eyes follow their footsteps, but they seem to be about to touch the ice of the coals, and there is always some crampedness and fear. How could those eyes be on parents who didn't want their children to attend the best school in the country?

Merlin and Sheldon are also members of the children and parents, but Sheldon does not seem to have such a high level of confidence...... He felt that if Merlin could pass one of the courses on the written exam, he would be thankful - at least Merlin could take the rest of the test. If you don't pass the written test on the first day, all the tests in the following days are meaningless.

It was the first time Merlin had seen so many faces, and fear and excitement filled his mind, and he had the impression that most of the people he met had left him quickly, and if he had gone to school, would he have made some friends? He seemed to have some expectations, but also some fears, if he got into a relationship with himself, wouldn't there be any good ends...... But first, you have to pass the exam.

Today was the written exam, and Merlin and the other students came to the auditorium, led by several teachers, and divided them into different classrooms for the exam. There are eight sections of the exam paper, and for the sake of convenience, there are not too many questions in each section, only one test paper, which can be answered within the specified time.

All the children are like candy in a candy jar, and the classroom is like a candy box, and each child must sit in a certain seating order. Merlin sat in the second row by the window. He looked around, and saw a familiar figure. The child seemed to recognize himself, too, and raised an eyebrow at him, a slight look of surprise in his eyes.

Alan Vanspeelder was sitting to Merlin's right, all clean gray, his eyes bright and purple. There was a dark gold magic pen on the table in front of him, and I don't know if it was bought from outside or made by hand. Anyway, Merlin thinks that Alan's pen is beautiful and doesn't look obtrusive.

The class was filled with the sound of flipping books, and it seemed that only Merlin and Allen had no books on their desks, and Merlin felt that these people were going to stare their eyes into the books before they stopped. There was still half an hour left before the exam, and the teacher looking at the door just looked down at his watch and didn't say anything.

"You look confident." Alan spoke first, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth that he had never seen before, "Being able to enter this door shows that your parents have put a lot of effort into cultivating you." ”

"I only have my father." Merlin said succinctly.

"Ah, I'm sorry." Alan apologized briefly, and then put on a puzzled posture, "Your name is ...... Marin? ”

"Ah...... Yes. ”

"Neither good nor bad name......" Alan blinked, and then said, "If I can see you again in the future, I can make a friend." ”

Time itself is a constant flow, but it will always feel fast or slow, and for these hard-working children, this half an hour is far from enough time for them to review. What's more, most of the temporary cramming is actually useless now.

The pre-exam warnings were the same, and the papers were sent out quickly. Merlin took out his magic pen, took the test paper, and began to read it question by question, and his originally stretched brow suddenly frowned. Because he doesn't know any of the topics about alchemy at the beginning. If the previous difficulty of "Exploding Little Angel" was an angel version, then the difficulty in this set of test papers is an oversized demon. To give you a simple example, the books I read before are all about how to hold a flask, and the content of the exam is not just about this, but as follows: When dealing with low-quality spider crystals, which of the following magic tweezers needs to be used to extract the pure parts of the spider crystals? Write down all of its steps.

What's even worse is that these questions on alchemy take up 30 percent of the entire test paper...... If he can't answer any of them, then he will probably have to finish the fun.

There was really no way, Merlin had to look down, this is a historical question about Yaris, which is mostly about the birth and death dates of various historical figures. Merlin knew a little about these things, but only a little bit about them, and he couldn't remember them that clearly. He desperately turned to Nightmares and asked him if he had any memories of it, but the answer was "how could I possibly remember such a thing".

All in all, in the history part, Merlin just did it in a daze, anyway, it was one of the four, and Meng probably could get a few right. Not only did Merlin feel that his eyes were black, but all the children in the entire classroom were generally pale, and some even trembled, afraid that they would die like this in the next moment. Probably the only person in the audience who was calm was Alan sitting to the right of Merlin, his magic pen swiping across the test paper as if he were drawing. Merlin caught a glimpse of the other party so quickly, and suddenly felt a pang of envy.

"If only I could do it so quickly...... Márquez said to Merlin.

"You don't have any systematic training at all, how can you fight those people...... Impossible. To be honest, you don't know most of the next topics, since you can't copy it blatantly, then you can just let Mohr out and let it see it......" To be honest, Nightmare Merlin gave a lot of crooked ideas, and this time it seems to be a little useful.

Merlin glanced briefly at the contents of the back of the scroll, except for the relatively simple astrology, everything else was basically reading the book of heaven...... If you want to pass this exam, you do have to find something that doesn't seem very reliable.

Merlin's mind moved, and Moll was quickly called out, and Mohr, who had been staying at Merlin's finger cover for a long time, was also quite excited at this time, probably because he had received a lot of blessings from him in the past few years: "My lord, you seem to have finally remembered me!" Whatever you want me to do, I'll do it right away! ”

"Help me write down the answer of the person on my right and feed it back to me." Merlin commanded silently.

Mohr quickly went, due to the very hidden nature of the rune creature, no one including the teacher could find its trace, and even if it did, the slight degree of this energy gathering would only be judged to be a weak rune creature that happened to pass by. I saw him dangling around the top of Allen's head, and then he quickly returned. It spat out a small, dewy translucent bead of magic, which melted on the top of Merlin's head in an instant, and a nuanced picture instantly entered Merlin's mind: Allen's exam paper had already been written in a short period of time! For most of the content, Merlin knew what the individual words meant, but when they were put together, they didn't make much sense......

This is a life-saving straw, it seems that you have to catch it if you don't catch it, Merlin saw that Alan was confident, so he didn't have any worries, and picked some brief parts to copy them......

And Allen, who was also struggling to write, only felt that there was a gust of wind behind him, and a spirit trembled down with a shiver...... It's as if I'm being seen by some specious existence......

In the end, Merlin, who was taking the exam on the first day, walked into the examination room in a daze, copied the test in a daze, and walked out of the campus in a daze...... He finally knew now that Sheldon would have times when he couldn't be trusted—though he had long since discovered that he couldn't be trusted when he bought these books.

Now he just hopes that he will be able to move on to the next day's exams. Although there is a sense of guilt in cheating, this guilt is like a stone sinking into the bottomless water, and it disappears after a short while.

"You're about to become like me." Nightmare Merlin quipped.

Márquez immediately responded: "No. Not as an example, well, not as an example! ”

It's something obvious. Maybe.
