Chapter 16: Ranch doesn't want attention
On the day of the entrance exam.
Ikrita Academy of Magic, Learning and Education Building.
Natural light floods into the interior through a large glass curtain wall.
Lan Qi arrived early in the exam room on the seventh floor and sat quietly in the waiting area waiting for the exam to start.
Talia, who had accompanied him, couldn't enter the seventh-floor exam room, but she waited on the outdoor terrace downstairs.
In the outer corner of the building, there is a spacious terrace area with wooden floors and benches for students and staff to relax, offering views of the campus while enjoying the sunlight and fresh air outside.
Also, there is a giant magic screen in front of it, which rotates information about the school.
According to many of those who were also waiting there, they would be able to watch the entrance exams for the Knights' Academy and the Mage's Academy live on any screen in the whole school later.
……
Seven-storey arena with a huge atrium.
The space is open and airy.
Several giant magical machines stood like a group of silent giants.
The light reflected on the magic device, refracting a blurry and magnificent light.
These giant magical artifact parts are dozens of meters in a winding way, and their entire body is made of mythril and magic crystals, exuding an icy aura and looking extremely spectacular.
Many of the candidates in the waiting area who saw them for the first time couldn't help but marvel at the extraordinary achievements achieved in magical engineering.
In this exam, the Academy of Icherita will activate this breathtaking "Artificial Shadow World Launch Terminal", bringing candidates an immersive practical practice of the shadow world.
Compared with some candidates who looked excited or uneasy, some candidates looked extremely calm, as if they were already familiar with the methods of conquering the film world.
Since the actual combat simulation of the Shadow World is the unified examination of the Knight Academy and the Sage Academy, there are not only candidates from the Sage Academy who have a more elegant temperament, but also many candidates who are martial arts at first glance.
Of course...... It is not excluded that they are candidates of the Sage Academy.
Those who pass this test will be finally assessed by the professors of the two colleges in the future.
Lanchi, who had been waiting on the lounge chair for a long time, rubbed his palms nervously.
Later, the live broadcast of the exam will be broadcast, and the professors of the college and the passers-by on campus will see it.
It is precisely because of this that over the years, there have often been cases of "public executions".
Many old students will have fun and watch the entrance exams for new students on campus.
But I think it's good.
On the magic screen, it's a split-screen scrolling carousel.
Among so many candidates, the probability of him being noticed is not very large.
And he has always acted steadily and low-key, so he shouldn't be noticed.
Lanch thought to himself.
I don't know when the sound of light footsteps began to sound in the venue, but it could drown out all the sounds and reach the ears of the candidates.
This extremely strong sense of presence from a certain strong person naturally quieted down the spacious examination room, which was originally a little noisy.
Ranchi's thoughts were interrupted, and he looked up in the direction where everyone's eyes met.
I saw a figure walking out of the inside of the venue, and at this time, the entire seventh floor seemed to be only the sound of his footsteps.
As the footsteps got closer, it was finally clear that the visitor was wearing a black classical suit with a white shirt and gold tie, and the buttons and neckline of the formal suit were in the shape of a diamond and a cross.
It was a young brown-haired man who was much younger than they had imagined, and he looked to be less than thirty years old.
However, no one dared to underestimate him because of his age, and the fact that he was able to wear such an ornament showed that he was not only a teacher of the Eceritic Academy, but also a priest with a high status in the Church of the Goddess of Fate.
His pace is not hurried or slow.
I walked to the front of the waiting area.
Watching the candidates.
"I am today's chief examiner, Loren Crane, and the dean of the Sage Academy."
The young man's eyes were gentle, and his temperament was not threatening.
It made many candidates' originally nervous hearts relaxed.
Compared to the impossibly majestic examiner they had imagined at that moment just now, it turned out that the dean of the Sage Academy actually looked very approachable.
"The theme of this exam is 'Wisdom and Mind.'"
Loren continued to say methodically,
"In most cases, in the process of challenging the shadow world, follow the correct path to decrypt and advance the main line of the goal, and you will not be required to defeat enemies whose class is far superior to you."
"However, if there is an accident or mistake in the middle of the process, it will lead to an extremely dangerous situation in the shadow world. Not only will you encounter enemies that are strong enough to kill you instantly, but you may be hunted by them in reverse...... Even Ling Chi. ”
"Then, it is very important to be able to successfully decipher and get the key clues in the film world."
Speaking of this, Loren's voice suddenly paused, and his eyes became a little complicated,
"There was actually a deplorable accident at the Academy of Ixerita, it was a failed fourth-order shadow world, and none of the seven students who participated in the challenge survived."
His voice was not low, but these words echoed through the entire atrium like thunder.
For teenage girls, "death" may be a distant concept.
However, there may be many people who did not come to this academy with the corresponding awareness.
The silence in the examination room was terrifying, and the eyes of many candidates seemed to be shaken.
As if anticipating the student's reaction, Loren was silent for a few breaths before he continued:
"The root cause is that the students in the team are too conceited, which leads to the main line of the mission not only going in the normal direction, but also not enough to deal with the crazy situation that has taken a turn for the worse."
"This is the imbalance between mind and wisdom."
"Therefore, this year, whether it is the Knight Academy or the Sage Academy, special attention will be paid to the candidates' comprehensive ability to be firm in mind and properly deal with the situation."
"The exam question you will face later is a reproduction of the real film world."
"Each of you will face the same solo world independently, and you will be qualified if you successfully clear the level."
After a brief introduction to the exam process.
Loren embedded a key glowing black with a glow of light on the console of the Artificial Shadow World Launch Terminal.
Subsequently.
The space directly in front of the magic device seemed to gradually distort, and the color became darker and darker, until it gradually appeared, turning into a seemingly illusory door, and countless twisted souls seemed to hover in the huge mirror.
It's almost exactly the same as the Void Gate that allows people to enter the Shadow World.
Loren stood quietly in the hall of the venue.
Other school staff began to guide the candidates.
Command them through the Void Gate and into the world of artificial shadows.
Meanwhile.
The giant screen hanging on the wall of the atrium no longer plays the usual picture.
Instead, it has become a movie world scene in the entrance examination!
