When the first rays of the morning gradually dispel the chill of the night, they sprinkle on the streets, buildings and benches along the street.

The light is gradually elongated.

The city called Icherita seems to have been awakened by the love of the gods.

It didn't take long.

Shops on both sides of the street are opening their doors, and enthusiastic shopkeepers greet their neighbors.

Under the café's open-air canopy, wisps of light coffee aroma waft through the air, accompanied by light and energetic jazz music that fills the bustling streets.

The number of people who got up early to go to work began to increase, shuttling through the crowds in the center of Ichrita.

In the morning breeze where the fragrance of fruits and flowers remains.

With a faint smile on his face, Ranchi walked with Talia through the streets of Ecrita.

Bathed in the early morning sunshine, his face is peaceful, and he has a sunny temperament all over his body.

Ranch seemed to be in the right mood.

He now finds the school exams and the movie world quite interesting.

And Talia is in a state of going to work as if she were going to work.

She was reluctant to accompany Ranchi to Ichrita's academy again.

The last time she followed Lan Qi out of the academy, she was watched several times, and she felt her scalp tingle.

Fortunately, there will be no public live broadcast of the third round of exams.

It will only be viewed backstage by the faculty of the Academy.

Otherwise, Talia would have called in sick today and wouldn't want to follow Ranch again.

"Tata, are you in a bad mood?"

Ranch felt that Talia had spoken a lot less in the past two days.

Today it was even more obvious that he was very resistant to staying with him.

“……”

Talia ignored him.

Just look ahead.

Straight ahead.

So Ranch picked up his pace slightly, trotted up, and glanced back at Taria's face.

Her expression was cold, and she still ignored Lanqi.

It's just that at that moment, Lanch inadvertently met Taria's eyes.

It makes Ranchi feel as if Talia hates him......

He couldn't help but be stunned in his steps, and stood there and touched his head in a daze.

Obviously, I feel that I have a little bit of a relationship with her during this time.

How did she feel that her attitude had taken a turn for the worse again?

It's hard to understand the mind of a demon.

What's more, she is still a hundred-year-old woman who is single.

Ranch thought to himself.

“……”

Talia walked right over to Ranchi.

She turned her face sideways and stared at Rankie.

For some reason, she felt an inexplicable urge to kill Lanchi.

But obviously he didn't open his mouth to speak just now, and his expression looked normal......

"What's wrong, Tata?"

Ranch asked gently.

I can't see what is going on in my heart at all.

"Nothing."

The voice fell.

Talia ignored Ranchi and walked forward.

“Chasing the cloud away~”

Ranch also hummed a small tune in a cheerful mood, and walked along, following along.

……

Half an hour later.

Echrita College, Learning and Education Building, seven-story atrium.

Daylight is refracted through the massive glass dome into the interior, creating a soft arc of light that brings a bit of tranquility to the entire atrium.

As the light and shadow danced on the ground, Lanch, who was on foot, could see the faculty and staff coming and going in the corridors around him.

According to the examination time, he walked into this spacious and bright examination room again, and he couldn't help but sigh at the ingenuity of the architect.

Look far away.

The giant magic machine, the Shadow World Activation Terminal, seems to have been repaired.

It's just that there is an additional sign of "Strictly forbidden to force restart" in a conspicuous position on it.

As you can see from the font, the person who added this warning was quite angry.

Different from the second round of exams.

There aren't many students and faculty waiting here today.

The third round of exams is scheduled by the teachers of the Sage Academy, and the examiner of the corresponding session will appear directly in the shadow world.

Dean Loren was not there either.

It is said that he also had the duties of the Lady of Destiny Church, and often left the royal capital of Ecrita.

Slightly bypassing the marble door, he walked into the waiting area, only to see two figures looking at him.

One is Teacher Teresa, who is in charge of guiding the examination room with a tablet-shaped magic instrument.

She and Ranch had met when they were testing for admission.

Teresa was very gentle, and smiled a little at Lanchi when they met.

And the other, who also wears the same candidate bracelet as Lanch, is obviously his teammate in the third round of exams.

In the exam notice he received yesterday, Ranch saw the explanation -

The theme of the third round of exams is "Combat and Survival".

In this mode of exam, it is often difficult for healers and support mages to fight alone.

Therefore, the academy has adopted the mode of team assessment, and the output mage and milk auxiliary will form a team.

Most often in groups of three.

At the same time, it can also test the teamwork of students.

After all, in the real film world, the team often wins and loses.

If there is an accident, there is a high probability that the group will be wiped out, and there is no if.

However.

When Ranch sees his teammate, the aristocratic lady with an extraordinary temperament.

Both sides seemed a little surprised.

At the end of the second round of exams two days ago, she asked Ranch how long it took to clear the level.

And Ranch was very conservative, answering in less than 50 minutes.

"Less than 50 minutes?"

Huberian seemed to be amused, and asked Ranch with a sense of absurdity.

She heard about it the day before yesterday after she left the exam room.

There is a person with black hair and green eyes, and it only took 10 minutes to clear the level.

She was still wondering if it could be the guy next to her who told her that "it takes less than 50 minutes to clear the customs".

Now, she's pretty sure.

It's this old yin ratio.

Ranch touched the back of his head slightly in embarrassment.

At that time, he did not expect that the third round of assessment would be such a detachment method.

"Do you know each other?"

Teacher Teresa looked at the subtle reactions of the two and couldn't help but ask curiously.

Both shook their heads.

Subsequently.

"My name is Ranch Wilford, and I'm a white magician, but I'm more functional than healing."

Ranch was the first to introduce himself calmly.

What teammates pay attention to is honesty, and there is nothing to hide.

After a brief silence.

“…… Huberian Aransar. ”

Miss Duchess hesitated a little and gave her name,

"Think of me as an assassin."

Her words came to an abrupt end, and she introduced them rather briefly.

Apparently there is not so much trust in Ranch.

Ranch nodded.

I'm not going to ask anything more.

He looked at the entrance of the exam room, as if waiting for their third teammate.

"Don't wait, there's a good chance he won't come."

Huberian said.

Her cold voice suddenly caught the puzzled glances of Ranchi and Teresa.

"Why?"

"If nothing else, I'll get a message when the exam starts later, saying that this guy can't take the exam here for some reason, what is the specific reason, it depends on whether they are coerced or enticed."

Huberian spread her hands and said with a cold look in her eyes.

Although there was more helplessness in her voice, it was difficult to hide the violent anger in her heart in her pupils.

She knew too well what the aristocratic lords who liked to manipulate the situation would do.

"Uh...... Huberian-san, this, this is just your inference, right? ”

Hubertarian's temperament was the polar opposite of Lanchi's, which made Teresa feel a little chill down her spine.

If Ranchi is like the pure white and flawless warm sun in spring, then Huber is like a hoodoo that cannot be redeemed in the depths of a cold and filthy pool of blood.

Teresa looked at Ranchi.

Ranch was unmoved, and as always, there was no change in mood.

Since Lan Qi didn't speak, it was not good for her as a teacher to express any more opinions.

……

It didn't take long.

It's time to start the exam.

The magic instrument in Teacher Teresa's hand rang out unexpectedly, and the notice sounded-

Their teammates voluntarily abandoned the exam because they decided to transfer to another college.

"This ......"

Teresa was also getting a little troubled.

She probably knew in her heart that this seemingly accidental situation was not necessarily accidental.

After all, even Hubertian had guessed in advance.

"Do you need me to ask the dean or vice dean for advice?"

Teresa asked hesitantly.

She knew that the actual combat assessment administered by Ferrat would definitely not be easy later.

What's more, Ferrat himself belongs to those who "don't want Hubelian to enroll".

With Huber and the weak white mage Lanchi, there is no possibility for the two of them to clear the level......

Huberian shook her head.

Her cold eyes softened as she looked at Teresa.

Although she never felt kindness, she only grew up with malice towards each other.

But more or less, she can still distinguish a little bit of the good from the bad.

"These nobles like to create seamless accidents, and they will not leave people a chance to catch them."

Huberian chuckled,

"Even if today's exam will not be broadcast to the public, there must be many pairs of eyes secretly watching this stage."

Although it is a little more excessive, he can let Huberian's last teammate take the exam normally first, and then become an actor, or even directly backstab Hubertarian.

But if it is too obvious and the dean Loren finds some clues, Loren may delve into the fairness of the exam.

Therefore, traders are more willing to create a chance.

"Then why didn't this group of people come to me?"

Lanch frowned at his chin, as if he was seriously thinking about something.

Huberian was slightly silent.

She didn't know if Ranchi really didn't understand or pretended not to understand.

"That group of guys also likes to have a face, and if you buy two candidates directly, it's not like an accident."

Huberian explained simply.

Of course, she believed that a smart person like Ranchi could easily understand the real reason-

Those big guys didn't think that Lanch had much actual combat ability.

Not only that, but Lanch was able to keep the exam going on normally and become a tool to drag Hugh Baianne down.

If there was really only one candidate left, the academy would not be cruel enough to let her continue to fight the examiner, but would be more likely to stuff her into other teams and slightly increase the overall difficulty of the exam.

"That's a pity......

Lan Qi bowed slightly, sighing.

The expression looks like it's a missed opportunity to make a fortune.

"Do you want to be bought by them?"

Huberian stared at Ranchi's undisguised regret and felt very ridiculous.

What did he do that would make him so disrespectful to himself that he couldn't even act?

Even though this guy has some unusual talents, he is still no different from those bastards with bad intentions.

"Of course."

Lan Qi sneered and nodded in affirmation,

"Oh, if you dare to block my exam, then I promise to collect evidence for them on the spot, and then donate the stolen money to the Goddess of Fate Church, and report this group of people for bribing and disrupting the order of the country's regular examinations, and at the same time apply for the Priesthood Intervention Ordinance on page 675 of the Hutton Code, and ask the Temple to trace the source of this wrong account through divine magic and conduct a thorough investigation, and the priest of the Goddess of Fate will determine that I have no subjective intention to extort, but only to collect evidence. Then I will be rewarded and protected by the Church, and I may be able to become a trainee priest in one fell swoop......"

He looked righteous and stern, and if he had this code in his hand, he would probably have opened it on the spot and explained it to Hubertion.

Huberian: "......"

Teresa next to her heard Lanchi's words, her lips also opened slightly, and she couldn't say the words for a long time.

Hubertarian realizes that she has misunderstood.

She decided to retract the preface.

Compared to those unscrupulous guys, this Lanchi is the real sword shrine!
