Chen Qi, who was immersed in the history described in the mural, unconsciously came to the fourth floor to enjoy the last scene of the mural, the sacred scene of the monarch of the clock tower sitting around the round table to vote, the mural is undoubtedly a fascinating work of art, perfectly outlining the holy place in the heart of the magician, but there is often a big gap between reality and ideals.

"You're a freshman?" An indifferent and lazy tone came from the front, like the marble under Chen Qi's feet, reflecting a gorgeous light in the cold, he followed the sound and saw a middle-aged magician with a slightly impatient expression, behind the semi-circular table, staring at him with scrutinizing eyes, like a hungry wolf looking for a flaw.

Without waiting for Chen Qi to speak, the middle-aged magician tapped his fingers on the table: "Don't be in a daze, the road of pursuing magic can't tolerate slackness, no matter who recommended you, you must first understand this truth, diligence is the only factor that can determine how far you go." ”

While speaking, the middle-aged magician disliked Chen Qi's hair color, yellow and white complexion, and dark hair, without thinking about it, he knew that he was from East Asia, with his rough clothes and complacent, it was obvious that he was eating by talent, and he didn't know how much money he stuffed, so he walked through the back door of this clock tower.

Talent alone is not enough to enter the clock tower, what is lacking here is never genius, but enough resources and contacts to study magic, just by virtue of hair color and etiquette, he has been in the clock tower for many years, and he has already labeled Chen Qi as a 'loser' in his heart, and he can pinch his nose and continue to talk to Chen Qi, that is for the sake of his recommendation.

"Makes sense." Chen Qi took out the letter of recommendation that Gold handed over to him before leaving, handed it to the middle-aged magician, and asked, "I don't know what to call it?" ”

The middle-aged magician pondered for a moment, trying to distinguish between good and bad Chen Qi's intentions, confirming whether this kid wanted to remember his name and settle accounts, and snorted coldly: "You can call me, Mr. Orka." ”

After the name was revealed, Orka, who was even more impatient, put the recommendation on the table and read: "- Identification! ”

The magic chant of a project, the pen and paper placed on the left side of the table are silently and automatically, as if they have grown legs, they jump to the side of the recommendation book, and on the fluorescent table, they resonate with the magician's emblem, and write two lines of praise like a print.

Then the paper burned silently, turning into a blue gas with a magical breath, which was swallowed and eliminated by the table, and the family crest on the recommendation book slowly disappeared, gently spreading out to reveal the contents.

"Well, the recommender is the Mujik family, saying that you have the courage and talent to explore the dangerous path of magic, so you recommended you to study in the clock tower, which is some official words." After reading the recommendation book, Orka was not interested in returning it to Chen Qi, and said disdainfully: "Come on, test your qualifications." ”

As an important cornerstone of the magic road, qualification is the most concerned part of the association, which determines the value of the tester himself, indicates the lower limit of the magician's development, and divides it into three, six, nine and so on.

"How to test?" Chen Qi asked.

"Hmph, can't you wait, it's very simple, just inject magic into this." Orka pulled out a basketball-sized crystal and chanted, "Open, accept, form a meter." ”

With a click, the crystals turned into cubes in Orka's hands, shifting and transposing like transformers, appearing in Orka's hands as chains.

"This is the meter, you put a drop of blood in the keyhole of the chain, and you can start the test, judging the quality of your circuit by the maximum output of your mana, and the duration."

Throwing the measuring instrument into Chen Qi's hand, Orka's expression was slightly embarrassed, and he said impatiently: "Hurry up and finish it, don't waste time." ”

It seems that this Mr. Orka's talent is not very good, capturing the trace of sentimentality in the other party's eyes, Chen Qi can roughly guess that the results of the other party's test are not satisfactory.

Chen Qi flicked the chain in his hand, and the intricate dense patterns that appeared on it were combined and overlapped into a closed colorless bud, although Orka's words did not explain the grade standard of the test, but it was not a difficult thing to guess.

Gathering magic power on the tip of his fingers, expelling a drop of blood and dripping into the keyhole of the chain, Chen Qi turned on the switch of the measuring instrument, and felt the call from inside for him to inject magic power, he clenched the measuring instrument but did not inject magic for a long time, as if he was thinking about something.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he felt a wave of heat go straight to his heart and lungs, his nasal cavity seemed to smell flames, and his mind was blurred, and in fear, he seemed to see a hideous roaring dragon head, struggling violently, but he couldn't get out of trouble, and his body was wrapped with black chains.

Clock Tower, Office Building of the Law and Political Section.

Alucardo, who was holding a coffee cup, leaned against the edge of the corridor and looked in the direction of the entire basic department: "Looking horizontally, it looks like a peak on the side of the ridge, and the distance and height are different. ”

What is he saying? Gold, who was caught and came to be a dish boy, could not understand Aluca's Chinese, and rolled his eyes in his heart, but in Gold's opinion, the guy 'Dawei' was indeed knowledgeable, and he had never heard of a language he had not touched.

Alucardo smiled and explained in English: "The meaning is that there is no point in superficial effort, instead of being imprisoned and trying to change direction, it is better to let go of some unnecessary baggage, break through that invisible barrier of knowledge, and seriously observe the essence of things, the clock tower gradually becomes interesting, Gold, as the times progress, many prisons will be ruthlessly crushed, revealing the true essence." ”

All the basic departments, Chen Qi stopped injecting magic power, and on the measuring instrument with overlapping dense lines, a pale cyan lotus seed was dripping and spinning, spitting out a wisp of fire from time to time, and with the breeze surrounding the surface, the flames were blown away, turning into clouds and swallowing into his abdomen, like a lively bear child,

The folded ear cat was curiously lying on Chen Qi's shoulder, his eyes flickering, and he seemed to be very interested in this lotus seed, but Chen Qi had already turned around and put the measuring instrument in front of the distracted Orka, and said, "That, I'm done." ”

"Huh?" Coming back to his senses from a trance, Orka's pupils began to focus, only to see Chen Qi with a relieved expression, pointing to the measuring instrument and saying, "Is there anything else next?" ”

"Collar ...... Magic ...... awarded by the clock tower Dresses, teaching materials, schedules. His throat trembled uncontrollably, Orca didn't understand what was wrong with him, if it weren't for the chair supporting his body, he might have been sitting on the ground at this time, his crotch swollen badly.

He was in no mood to mock Chen Qi anymore, so he didn't care about driving the measuring instrument to close, dissolving and analyzing the magic power input by Chen Qi in it, panting and waving his hand: "Go to your dormitory first, and then I will order someone to send things over, this is the voucher for collection, and the dormitory key." ”

Taking the key handed over by Orka, and a lion's mouth heart-swallowing badge the size of Moyo's palm made of pure gold, Chen Qi played with the badge and threw it to the folded ear cat, as a toy to replace the compensation for not being able to touch the lotus seed, and greeted Orka: "It's troublesome." ”

After Chen Qi left, Orka spread out on the back of the chair without grace, closed his eyes tiredly, felt as if his head had been hit by a heavy object, and he was very drowsy, and he knew in his heart that Fang Cai's state was inseparable from Chen Qi.

"A monster-like newborn? I'd like to see how qualified you are in your magic circuit! Gritting his teeth and urging the magic, he closed the meter and began to ablation and analysis, Orka took out a small silver kettle from his pocket, took a large sip of his specially blended drink, and regained his mood index in the magic light of the chains that continued to shrink and expand, waiting for the results of the chains' analysis.

One minute, five minutes, ten minutes, thirty minutes.

Airplanes! As if the last stone had finally been crushed, the light that swirled like a grinding disc finally stopped, and it changed from its current form to the shape of a crystal, and the magic reaction used to calculate the rapid flow of the test, and the final result of the test was summed.

Seeing the result, Orka slapped the silver kettle, and with an emotion that he himself could not say was disgust and anticipation, he fixed his gaze on it, and then his eyes widened, his face first flushed, and then turned white in the next moment, and the two completely different faces intertwined like marquees.

"This ...... How can it be. Orka's throat seemed to be choked by something, staring at the results given by the crystal, unable to believe his own eyes.

Magic Circuit: EX.

Magic Circuit: Heterogeneous.

Magic attributes: imaginary numbers, fire, wind.

Editor's addendum: The current individual has not been found to have a magic circuit, and it is recommended that he not be admitted.

The lines were like the results of a bad joke, like a punch to Orka's jaw, subverting and distorting what he had learned for half his life, mercilessly mocking him as a mediocre magician who was obsessed with magic and refused to give up even today.

"Get out! You, full of flawed test results, are all the magicians in the Ore Department stupid enough to make this kind of garbage! ”

Alka, who was in a broken mind, smashed the crystal to the ground in a rage, so that the summary that was enough to shatter his magician's three views disappeared without a trace, and he gasped and leaned back in his chair, covering his almost collapsed expression.

How can you convert the magic power released without a magic circuit?

Once upon a time were imaginary properties compatible with other properties?

Orka has been obsessed with magic for half his life, has spent a lot of savings, and has finally begged for this job that can be kept in the clock tower, and he must turn this grudge into an engraved seal in the future, is he actually just a cold joke, a joke even more ridiculous than this test result?
