Chapter 21: The Glory of the Victors
When he returned to the Council with Robert and Chubby, it had just entered the afternoon, and the entire Council was empty.
"Let's go there and check in. Robert snorted at the reception desk, then gave a big hacher and continued, "I'm sleepy, I'll go back first." ”
"Okay. Leo nodded, watched Robert go upstairs, and walked to the reception desk.
Due to the busy morning, most of the staff were very tired, and many people simply took a nap in their seats, and the receptionist was no exception.
Looking at the receptionist with saliva hanging from the corners of his mouth, Leo coughed helplessly and said, "Hello, I want to check in." ”
The receptionist woke up suddenly, and a spirit ejected from his seat, and responded professionally in a loud voice: "Check-in! Yes, check-in, I'll handle it for you right away!"
But when he saw the ordinarily dressed teenager in front of him, the panic was instantly replaced by unhappiness: "What did you just say?
"Yes. Leo replied, then handed over his membership card.
The receptionist took the membership card suspiciously, and carefully looked at Leo and the chubby form of the Nightblade Leopard, his face full of disbelief. He really couldn't accept it, the young man in front of him seemed to be sixteen or seventeen years old at most, how could he be a member of the Magior? And his first reaction was that this membership card was either picked up by the young man or forged.
At this time, Puser's voice came from the side: "Leo, what are you doing?"
Leo hurriedly turned around: "Hello, Your Excellency the President, I'm here to check in." ”
Psycer suddenly wondered, "Didn't you say you had a place to live before?"
This is not a good question to answer, do you want to say that you live in a warehouse?Leo scratched his head, and his words flickered, "Uh...... That place...... How to put it, it's not very comfortable. ”
"Okay. Pusher didn't ask any more questions, but turned to the receptionist, "Berto, this Leo Mineshir is a student of an old friend. He is also a junior member of our Magire Society, so please help him arrange a better room. ”
"This kid is really a member, and he knows the chairman? Leo Minerhill...... I thought about it, damn it, I almost got into a big disaster!" The receptionist's heart was pounding, don't look at Leo is only 16 years old, and he is only a level 1 mage, but the status of a member of the Magic Council, even if he works hard for a lifetime, it is basically impossible to obtain.
"I didn't ...... No problem. Chairman. The receptionist stammered in response and hurriedly turned around to check in for Leo.
Taking advantage of this effort, Leo asked, "Your Excellency, where is Sost?"
"He, he didn't feel good in the exam, and he locked himself in the room and couldn't come out. Psy smiled wryly and asked, "By the way, how did you do in the exam?"
Leo hurriedly shook his head and said, "I don't dare to say this, I can't do several dishes." ”
Listen to his answer. Psy burst out laughing: "Of course you can't do it all, but this set of questions has been carefully prepared by us." Not to mention you, even many intermediate mages may not be able to answer it completely. ”
"And so it was. It seems that exams are almost ...... everywhere" Leo muttered secretly and asked, "Chairman, are you going out?"
"yes. Something happened on the guard's side, come to me and take a look. Psych replied with some irritation, clearly not wanting to go. "Alright. It's time for me to hurry up, you can stay in the Magi's Council for the time being, and you can come to me at any time if you have anything. ”
"Okay. Leo bowed respectfully and watched Psy leave, wondering in his heart that something would happen to the guard to alarm the president of the Magire Council. In Kaiyan City, Psyser's status is not lower than that of an administrator, but this kind of thing naturally doesn't take his turn to care, so he quickly put it out of his mind.
With the appearance of Puser, of course, the receptionist did not dare to make any more doubts, and quickly checked in for Leo, without even asking a word about the chubby situation.
After receiving the room card with 331 written on it, Leo was about to go back to rest, but suddenly remembered a question, he didn't know which room Robert was in, how could he find him in the future?
In desperation, Leo had no choice but to ask the receptionist, "Can you please tell me which room Mr. Robert Caines lives in?"
Generally speaking, this kind of thing is private and is not allowed to be disclosed to others, but the receptionist didn't even think about it, so he flipped through the booklet in his hand and quickly replied, "It's in room 340." ”
............
Leo had to admit that it was indeed very comfortable to live in the Magi's Society, with all kinds of facilities, the bed was a large double bed, the mattress was soft velvet, someone came in to clean it regularly every day, hot water was supplied around the clock, and the receptionist also arranged a large sunny room for him.
Time passed quickly, and to Leo's surprise, in the past few days, Robert didn't look like he had anything to do at all, and actually acted as a tour guide, taking him around Kaiyan City, eating and drinking.
However, Leo was also keenly aware that although Robert was well disguised, there was always a faint tiredness on his face, which made him secretly vigilant, Robert was likely to go out at night and did not get a rest all night.
But since people didn't talk about it, of course he wouldn't take the initiative to ask, and it never hurt to be cautious.
On this day, Leo got up early, settled down, and went to the square outside the Magi's Council to wait. According to the schedule, in a while, the results of this magic joint preliminary exam will be announced here.
As expected, the entire square was crowded with people, not only all the candidates and their parents gathered here, but also countless residents of Kaiyan City, looking forward to it.
Although the announcement of the results has nothing to do with these ordinary people, the triennial magic joint examination has long become a traditional festival in Kaiyan City. Because some of these children who pass the guò exam will be able to become honorable mages in the future, and there may even be legendary powerhouses, and no one does not want to witness history, even if it is just a glance from afar.
Squeezed in the crowd, Leo was still very confident that he would be able to pass the guò exam, but as the noise became louder and louder, a little nervousness still arose, and even gave him the illusion that he was waiting for the results of the college entrance examination.
"Very well prepared and the exam process was very smooth, definitely no problem. Leo had just consoled himself when the front of the Magi's Council opened, and an old man slowly walked out, and it was the chairman of the council, Psyser.
The square suddenly fell silent, and the crowd automatically split into a passageway, allowing Pusher to advance all the way to the high platform in the center of the square.
Glancing around, Pusher took out a list from his bosom, and applied amplification to himself, and then solemnly announced: "The three hundred and fifty-fourth magic joint examination, the preliminary examination of Kaiyan City has been successfully completed, and the total number of participants in this preliminary examination is four hundred and thirteen, of which thirty-six have reached the Tongguò line, and they are allowed to go to the headquarters of the Magior's Council to participate in the next stage of the examination. I will now announce the thirty-sixth of the people of the Tongguò, Hummel Damia. ”
"Ah, I know it, mother, do you hear it!!?" a shrill cry came, and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Leo also followed the sound, and immediately noticed that a boy in ordinary clothes not far away was raising his hands in the air, his face flushed with excitement.
"Of course I hear, dear son, your father will be proud of you in heaven!!" said a middle-aged woman beside the boy, crying, and then held her son tightly in her arms.
It can be seen that this is an ordinary family, and the mother raises the child alone and pays great hardships for him to learn. With his talent and perseverance, the boy also passed the preliminary exam, and it is very likely that he will officially embark on the path of magic in the future, thus changing the fate of himself and his mother. And even if he fails to be admitted to the Academy of Magic in the next round of exams, it will definitely not be difficult to find a decent job.
In such a scene, the onlookers naturally did not hesitate to send the warmest applause and blessings, and even Puser on the stage did not continue to announce the list, but quietly waited for the celebration to end, this is the unwritten rule of the Magic Council of Kaiyan City, and the winner has the right to enjoy the glory of this moment. (To be continued......)
