Chapter 18: Talia is on pins and needles

Sunny, breezy College of Ecrita.

Many of the campus areas are equipped with magic screens that resemble shopping streets.

These screens not only provide students and staff with real-time information, announcements, and academic activities, but also feature a variety of fun short films and live events on campus.

As a result, these screens sometimes become the focus of onlookers and discussions during breaks within the Academy.

Like at this moment.

Every year, the entrance exam is being broadcast that is quite interesting for many old students.

Many people just want to see the new students suffer or be embarrassed, and there are also senior students who want to discover potential newcomers in advance and pull them into the team.

I saw it on the screen.

The wind and snow are howling, and they are all in color.

At the moment when the other candidates were still struggling in the ice and snow, Lanqi's side had already met the conditions for customs clearance.

He sat in the warmth of his room and baked a snack by the fire.

The skillful and comfortable appearance is completely free of the tension of challenging the film world, as if he is filming a new advertisement for the taste of the Holy Country.

Next, he only needs to wait for the time limit of the artificial shadow world to end, and the terminal can complete the settlement of his score.

Even if there were not many students who had just paid attention to Lanch's operation.

But with a few exclamations.

The students soon scrambled to spread the word.

"Do you know what this thing just did!?"

"What?"

"He's such a seed! Went straight to arrest that family! ”

"Is this a warm winter?"

"Just say he didn't finish the request, he really did."

"Hahahaha! What a logical genius! ”

The terrace of the Learning & Education Building.

The people who are resting and waiting here are sitting or standing, and many people have formed a lively circle around the hanging screen.

Many people began to discuss what kind of new star this teenager named "Ranch Wilford" was.

However, no one present knew the name before.

Only one student, wearing Alchemy House jewelry, mentioned that he had heard of a company called the "Wilford Chamber of Commerce", and that the chairman of the board of directors was said to have a son-in-law.

But he had never heard of Lan Qi, a young man.

“……”

Talia listened as the students began to pay attention to Ranchi's discussion.

Sitting on the edge of the terrace, waiting on a wooden chair outdoors, she silently bowed her head and looked away from the magic screen.

Although she had been observing the movements of Lanchi in the corner of the split screen just now.

But when she truly understood what Lanch was doing and the exclamations of the people around her.

She just wanted to get out of here, as far away as possible.

Because she began to hear people talking: "This guy named Lanqi really doesn't behave like a person, can't he be a spy of the demon clan?" ”

It sent chills down her spine.

Talia was reluctant to get too close to Ranch and was mistaken for a dangerous object to be watched.

That's not what she taught......

In fact, the three months of getting along with Lan Qi also made her gradually discover that this teenager's thinking and personality are a little unusual.

But it was only at this moment that she was finally convinced.

This guy is more or less seriously ill!

Stay by his side, you can't even think of being noticed.

However.

As agreed.

She must protect Ranch and remain Ranchi's teacher.

I thought of leaving the academy with Lanqi later, and staying in this royal capital with Lanqi for at least a while.

She felt like she was being roasted on a fire.

If she has endured it for a long time, the great cause of restoring the country that she has been thinking about in her heart will eventually be recognized because of this human being, and her success will fall short.

Then she just wanted to die with Ranchi.

Now she hoped that Lan Qi would come out of the examination room and leave here with her.

And she hoped that Lanch would never come out, she didn't want to be seen staying together.

"Lan ...... Odd ......"

Talia muttered through gritted teeth.

She clenched her palms tightly, feeling that every second that followed was like sitting on pins and needles.

After the destruction of the demon race, she wandered alone for decades.

It was the first time that a human had made her feel so painful.

……

The seven-storey atrium of the Learning & Education Building combines modern design with natural elements in a tranquil and elegant atmosphere.

The skylight fills the space with daylight, creating a bright and glowing light and shadow. The atrium is surrounded by greenery, and there are some art installations and sculptures next to it, adding a soft humanistic atmosphere to the atrium.

The chief examiner standing in this atrium, Loren, the head of the Sage Academy, was now clenching his fists.

This time, he personally chose the exam questions.

According to the analysis of historians, this first-order shadow world [Hidden Flame of Winter] should have been the predicament encountered by the last divine emperor known for his benevolence and righteousness in the early years of the ancient civilization of this world tens of thousands of years ago.

Loren's most revered legendary figure has always been this benevolent and divine emperor.

Every deed of the Holy Emperor made Loren admire.

In fact, in this exam, Loren not only wants to test the "wisdom and heart" of the new students.

I also hope that they can understand what kind of situation and state of mind the Holy Emperor helped the villagers back then.

and the helplessness and sadness he felt when the Holy Emperor discovered the truth.

However, he was able to unswervingly continue to carry out his unwavering faith in righteousness.

"Abominable ......"

However, this kid named Ranch Wilford.

His operation.

It seems that the Holy Emperor is stupid.

Is it okay to sacrifice the heart of righteousness directly in exchange for demonic power?

That's it, waiting for the exam time to end.

Loren looked up and stared at Ranchi roasting sweets on the huge magic screen in the atrium.

I feel like there's a fire burning in my heart.

If he could enter the film world, he really wanted to kick this broken furnace away!

"This guy's magic is so weak, why is he a candidate in our academy?"

Loren finally calmed down and muttered to himself in confusion.

From the moment he arrived at the exam room, he sensed the magic on all the candidates.

He remembered that Lanch's magic strength was undoubtedly the lowest level in the field, and it was not even as good as many of the Knights' Academy's physiognomy candidates.

If it weren't for the fact that he had noticed Lanchi on the magic screen, Loren would have almost mistaken Lanchi for a candidate from the Knights' Academy at first.

"If he can pass the first round of attribute tests when applying for admission, it can only be said that his mental attributes will be very high, and the weighted ones make up the total evaluation ......"

"But how should he pass the actual combat exam......

The third round of assessment can be different from the first two rounds of assessment, except for using their own hard power, there is no opportunistic way.

Loren was convinced that Ranch was not a clergyman.

He didn't feel any of the aura of the gods.

Then Lan Qi naturally can't use the priest-type magic card that "affects the amount of healing with mental strength".

……

The angle of light through the glass dome gradually changes in the atrium, like a hand of time, recording the passage of each moment.

The exam is finally coming to an end.

The candidates were sent out of the huge swirling void door in the order they entered.

It wasn't until all the references had left the artificial shadow world that Loren lightly touched the key on the terminal and closed the door to the void.

Subsequently, the artificial shadow world started the terminal and began the final accounting of the exam results.

Loren stood on the high platform and looked around, only to see the many qualified candidates who had not yet left the examination room and were scattered in the atrium, some of them could not hide their joy, and some of them had flat expressions.

Although it is not possible to know the status of other candidates' shadow world victories during the exam.

But there are obviously many very confident candidates, and they are very sure that their score in the film world this time is definitely one of the best.
