A rare light rain turned the morning in a hot city into a hustle and bustle.

People rushed out of the house excitedly and enthusiastically, bathing their bodies in the dripping rainwater, and the smiles on their faces were like blooming flowers.

It's like I've met the happiest thing in the world.

It's a pity that when a melodious bell suddenly sounded in the direction of the cathedral in the center of the city, this gorgeous flower bush that had not bloomed for a long time withered.

The sound of the bells was clear, one after another, constantly urging the inhabitants of the city.

Tell them very regularly - it's time to go to work.

Car horns and passers-by swearing became the city's dominant tune.

However, not everyone needs to trade labor for survival.

At the same time that the bell rang, around the cathedral, people in white robes gradually appeared.

At first, it was sparse, but it didn't take long for it to become dense.

They stood in groups of three and two in the large square in front of the church, and all kinds of voices were buzzing.

The noise made Sister Lily feel as if she was in a wet market.

"It's really strange, why did so many bystanders come to this assessment?"

A companion next to him muttered in a low voice, "I'm afraid it's not that most of the transcendents in the country have come to join in the fun, right?" ”

"They're all here to see the genius that Father Matthew brought back."

Lily said.

You only need to prick up your ears and eavesdrop on the discussions around you to understand this—

Everything related to the air crash is still under "investigation".

But what the exact truth is, because the priest submitted the case report, is basically not a secret.

Everyone is obviously very curious about the legendary super genius, so in the past few days, people from other cities in China have been arriving one after another.

This is not only impressive, but also rushed to participate in the assessment, the newcomer seems to be a big star, and everyone around can't wait to see him.

And they are local, but they are like some little minions, hiding in the corner and no one cares.

"Prepare with peace of mind, it's not long before the assessment starts."

When the companion expressed curiosity about the legendary Andy, Sister Lily said calmly: "What others are like has nothing to do with us. ”

"But do you think he can really use improvised graffiti to ward off evil spirits?"

The companion apparently didn't listen to Lily's words, "If that's the case, then his talent is terrifying, isn't it?" ”

"Pope Gard III did something even more astonishing than he did, but at that time His Majesty the Pope was already an experienced old man, and he still used oil paintings."

"You know, it takes a lot of time to make a painting......"

"Father Matthew never lies."

In the face of her companion's questioning, Lily replied, "He said yes, it must be, otherwise do you think that these people can come all the way around like this after only hearing a few rumors?" ”

"But I still don't believe that a few strokes can ward off evil spirits, it's not scientific at all - uh, you know what I mean?"

Of course Lily understood, but she didn't think it was necessary to deal with her companions in this matter.

So, while her companions chattered, she gathered the hem of her black nun's robe, sat down on the marble steps in front of the cathedral, and looked down at a book.

They are nuns from a convent in this city, and after this assessment, the extraordinary profession they will be employed in is also "nuns".

This profession is considered to be indisputable.

But when I heard the news of Andy, there was still a lot of turmoil in the convent.

Lily clearly knew that the nagging of her companion now was not unbelief, but resentment.

Because they are not angry, they will be full of unreasonable places to question.

This mindset is normal.

After all, locals like them were born into the transcendent class, and if they want to become transcendent, they need more than ten years of hard training.

A foreign child, born in an ordinary family, can run to cut the queue unceremoniously without doing anything......

Why?

Who doesn't get annoyed when they hear this?

It's good to be like them.

Lily knew that the reservists of the Knights' House and the Inquisition Bureau who were like them were instantly scolded when they learned about this.

and also threatened that when the assessment begins, the so-called genius will inevitably be given a disadvantage.

Lily wasn't bullish on them.

The transcendents are in a class, but there is still a class within the transcendental.

When Father Matthew values a person, even if that person is a pig's brain, it must not be something that ordinary people can provoke.

Not to mention a genius.

It's just that the momentum is too strong, and it's not necessarily a good thing......

Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed the huge momentum in the square, and Lily couldn't help but think about it.

So she whispered to her companion, "Don't come to that Andy when he shows up." ”

"Towards him?"

The young companion in the black and white nun's robe was surprised, "Who would be interested in a little boy?" ”

"I'm getting down to business."

Lily frowned, "Although—"

"Look, it's Anthony!"

The companion abruptly interrupted Lily's words and grabbed her arm, shaking her expression with excitement

"He, he actually came to us to participate in the assessment! Oh my God, that's a rarity! ”

Anthony?

Lily's expression was stunned.

This name represents the most famous genius in the country in recent years, and it is also the brightest rising star of their generation.

With a humble personality and a good family education, it is very popular with the younger generation, especially girls.

Before Andy appeared, this Anthony was the most talked-about.

And now, he's actually here?

Lily was a little strange about this, and following the guidance of her companion, she saw a handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes and a tall figure.

Like her, the boy had companions around him, not one, but a group.

And that group of people......

After a moment's discernment, she couldn't help but be even more surprised.

Because it's not just the new star, but also many famous and outstanding people in the younger generation from all over the country!

"They must not be used to the arrogant appearance of the foreign child, so they came to us to participate in the assessment."

Companions gloated on the sidelines.

Lily was speechless.

The so-called new stars, could it be a group of simple-minded and showy stunned youths?

After today's final assessment, it is equivalent to the graduation of students into the society, although the future is open, but there will be no more care in the past.

So this assessment is actually quite important to them.

Whether it can be valued and cultivated by the big shots, and whether it can stand out from mediocrity, depends on the next performance.

As far as Lily knows, Anthony, who is extremely talented, has delayed his "graduation" several times because of this.

The purpose is to accumulate strength, wait for the opportunity, and have a solo show that is enough to make him a sensation across the country.

And now that he can come, there must be some other factor, involving a more ambitious future, so that he does not plan to hold it any longer.

What is the reason?

Lily was a little curious about this.

But the people around the square are full of people and chaos, and no matter how you look at it, you can't see anything special.

So she had no choice but to retract her gaze, lower her head and continue to read her book.

No matter what the reason, Anthony and the others can't come for a foreign kid.

……

Among the reserve teenagers who came from outside to participate in the assessment, Anthony has the highest reputation and the most beautiful appearance, but he is a very low-key person.

When he arrived in the square in front of the church and mingled with a group of his peers around him, he barely spoke.

Just keep smiling and listen to other people's conversations.

"The genius that the chief exorcist values, if he is suppressed by others, naturally means that this person is a greater genius."

No one would have a good attitude towards cutting in line, and one of the brown-haired teenagers was giving advice on this at this time.

"I don't think Father Priest would lie, so I don't think any of us can match that guy in terms of talent."

"But it's not just talent that's being evaluated."

"And even if it's talent, it's also a penny and a martial artist."

"You know what I mean, right?"

"You mean, a group of people is better than one?"

Someone disagreed, "Even if you win, it's not a glorious thing, right?" ”

"Dishonorable, but useful."

The brown-haired boy said, "And my idea is just to hope that everyone can compete in the best aspects."

"With that foreigner as a comparison target, it doesn't matter if we lose, but winning will make us more brilliant."

"We're nothing, after all, and he's a super genius."

This self-deprecating and self-mocking remark caused the young people around him to frown invariably.

They all think that they are not some brainless idiots, and they all agree that the legendary super genius must be very powerful.

But I haven't seen it with my own eyes.

When they felt the "privilege" of the other party, when the limelight in the past was suddenly crushed by a foreigner, they were completely unconvinced after all.

……

Anthony, who never spoke, had a different idea about it.

When he left the group of young men and was alone with his close friends, he whispered, "That old gentleman must have arrived." ”

"He's supposed to be here for Andy."

"So what."

Hearing this, my friend frowned: "You also plan to show what you are best at to win the attention of that old gentleman?" ”

"Of course, this opportunity is too rare, I have to seize it!"

"But there's no need."

The friend said unceremoniously, "I think that guy's idea just now is idiotic, and only a fool will listen to his opinion." ”

"Idiots indeed, they have been influenced by emotions to judge."

Anthony nodded in agreement, "But what we have to do is to get closer, and assist Andy, and strive to become his comrade-in-arms." ”

"And not against him."
