Volume 1 Growing Up in the Academy Chapter 8 Exams are coming
The brother and sister exchanged a few more pleasantries with Buck, and then happily returned to the orphanage.
With the new weapon in hand, Orfina also had a few more potions, and this demon wolf encounter can be described as a fortune. Dean Karin has not allowed her to go to the Twilight Forest recently, and it is too dangerous to fight Warcraft, otherwise Rogge would like to hunt some Warcraft again.
There are still 20 days before the exam, and Rogge has to master the speed technique in these 20 days, and the new bow is not in a hurry to adapt, because the exam is all with uniform weapons and equipment.
Rogge, who learned everything quickly, went from stumbling to moving quickly to being light and agile, and finally mastered the speed movement before the exam, and officially became a junior wind magician.
Time flies, tomorrow is the exam, and Rogge and Orfina are chatting around the table after dinner.
"Brother, there's an exam tomorrow, are you nervous?"
"Can you not be nervous, I work hard, but who in the hospital doesn't work hard? It's hard to say whether it will be able to get the top 10 or not. Rogge, who was already full of confidence, was a little anxious before the exam.
"Don't worry, you were 29th last year, and I only have 4 people left in front of you, and the others left last year. I haven't heard of anyone as talented as me this year, and you've become so much stronger, for sure. ”
"Besides, even if you are not selected by Holke Academy, I will not leave, and I will accompany you." The clever Orfina guessed that Rogge's current nervousness was mostly due to the fact that she was not selected last year and made her wait an extra year, so she felt a little guilty.
"I won't let you wait for me any longer, I must pass this year. As you heard when you went to get a weapon from Old Buck before, a large-scale war against the orcs is likely to start in the near future, and this kind of war usually lasts for several years, and we may be able to participate in it if we enter the academy earlier. ”
"Then you play well tomorrow, brother, come on!" Orfina encouraged.
"Yes, I will! Nana, thank you for being with me all these years. ”
I'll be with you in the future, Orfina thought to herself. "Then I'll sleep with you today."
"This... Not good. ”
"What's wrong? I just thanked you and wanted to drive me away now, huh. ”
"No, it's not, it's because... I may not be able to sleep well here, and I have an exam tomorrow. "A boy and a girl have a bed, no matter how gentleman a 19-year-old boy is, no matter how much he treats Orfina as his sister, it is a little unbearable. The first few times we slept together, smelling the fragrance of Orfina next to him, Rogge's hands and feet were stiff and it was difficult to sleep.
Ou Fei Na blushed and said, "I will bless the technique, I will sleep again when you fall asleep, and I will definitely let my brother sleep cold and calm and comfortable." ”
Rogge: ...

On April 20, 362 A.D., the Garin Orphanage ushered in its annual selection exam.
The selection examination is specially designed for orphanages, and each orphanage selects outstanding talents to study in various colleges, which can be said to be a key point in the life of students.
Unlike the graduation examination at a regular school, the selection examination is open to 12 to 16 years old, and you can take it as long as you are of the right age. The graduation exam, on the other hand, is required to be taken after 5 years of study at school.
Students in ordinary schools can choose to study at the college after passing all the subjects in the graduation examination, and they can always go to school with good or bad grades. And if the students of the orphanage have not been admitted to the academy after the age of 16, they can only choose to either join the army and become the most ordinary soldier, or receive the orphanage's fee of 1 gold coin and become self-reliant from then on.
Therefore, the selection examination is even more cruel, and nearly 1,000 of the more than 2,500 orphans in the entire Garin Orphanage have reached the age to participate in the examination, and less than one-tenth of them can enter the academy.
If the number of places is small, excellent talents can be selected; The age group that can participate is longer, and it can fully exclude unexpected factors such as bad luck and bad luck. After such a selection, the remaining children are basically mediocre in qualifications, not working hard enough, and having some physical or character defects.
The selection examination is divided into two parts: civil and military. The essay is a paper test, and the questions are all common sense knowledge taught in class, such as magic and martial arts knowledge, geography knowledge, racial knowledge, and so on. Wu is a battle, a group point system battle, and the top few points enter the next round until the decisive battle. Of course, the basic qualities of students are also to be examined, such as magic value, strength value, magic skills, etc.
Rog was woken up in the morning by Orfina, and the boy who was hypnotized by the blessing spell slept peacefully. After breakfast, the two went to the main teaching building of the Garin Orphanage.
Today's exam is a paper exam. For students like Rogge and Orfina, the paper exam is given away for free, and there is no difficulty. Despite this, Rogge answered every question seriously, unlike Orfina, who wrote quickly, and handed in many papers in advance for each exam.
"Ding Ding Ding ......" The invigilator rang the bell, and the last paper test ended. Rogge put down the pen, breathed a long sigh of relief, and the paper test was stable.
"My brother is really slow to answer."
"I'm safe, answer what to do so quickly, and don't give you extra points."
"Okay. I'm going to sleep with you tonight! ”
At night, Rog braved the blue light of the blessing spell and was hypnotized again.
The next day, the highlight of the exam, the martial arts test, began. Due to the continuous wars in the Nalan Empire, the national style is martial, and the military examination accounts for seventy percent of the total score in the selection examination. The martial arts test of Garin Orphanage is a group of 4 people, and everyone in the group competes with the others, and finally the first place in the points advances to the next round. A total of more than 1,000 students took the martial arts exam, and the top 4 will be selected after 4 rounds of exams. The top 4 will then compete to determine the first place.
The outcome of each competition is only a scoring point, and the judgment of the situation, the grasp of opportunities, and the proficiency of martial arts and magic release in the competition are all scoring points, and the two sides of the competition are scored by the invigilator according to their performance.
At the end of all competitions, students can choose the teacher of their favorite college to challenge, and if the teacher feels that the student is okay, then they can also enter the college to study. This challenge can only be done once per student, and it is not easy to do, mainly to give the unlucky ones who are particularly unlucky enough to be grouped unwell every year to give them one last chance.
Before the competition, all students are tested for basic qualities. The test of mana and stamina is very simple, you only need to use mana or stamina on the test device, and after a while, you can read the value fed back by the device.
The full name of the test device is called the Joyce Column, and the appearance is a one-meter-high column surrounded by a person, which was invented by Joyce, the great inventor of the empire two hundred years ago. Its birth allowed the total amount of magic and energy of each person to be reflected in the form of values, which caused a great sensation at the time.
When it was Rogge's turn to test, he walked up to the Joyce Pillar, pressed his palm against the sensing zone, and pumped magic into the device. Approximately 1 minute later, the crystal plate on the top of the device displays a blue number: 704. Rogge shifted his palm and waited for a while, the number disappeared, and he pressed it again, and changed to output energy. After another 1 minute, the crystal piece showed a yellow number: 760.
It's quite a good foundation, and you can enter a fairly good academy with just these two basic values, of course, just two numbers can't impress the teachers of Holke Academy.
At this time, Orfina also walked out of another test room, her magic value was 2077 points, and her strength value was 217 points, which was very luxurious data.
"Brother finished the test? Draw lots to go. Orfina pulled Rogge and ran to the draw.
The selection competition was decided by drawing lots in groups of 4 people, with a total of 251 groups. Rogge was drawn to the 52nd group and Orfina to the 128th group. The orphanage's huge training ground is divided into six competition venues, where the competition takes place. In the first round, each person has to play three games, one day at a time. The venue is very open, and the teachers and students can see the whole field from the high stands, and those with bad eyes can also use binoculars.
"Brother, come on." The 52nd and 128th groups were not in the same field, and Rogge and Orfina had to separate to wait for the competition.
"Okay, you too. Forehead, tap it. ”
