Russell's gaze swept roughly over the students in the auditorium, trying to find candidates who might become his allies in the future.

Those freshmen who lack features in appearance and have no recognizable temperament are all defaulted to by Russell as passerby NPCs.

Based on his many years of experience as a "man in the play", the important roles that can intersect with the fate of the protagonist (Russell) in the future are definitely more recognizable than average.

Soon, Russell's gaze rested on a boy in the auditorium.

He had a Chinese face, looking cheerful and familiar, with a fox-like cunning brow, and was talking to another blonde candidate passing by in the back row:

"Brother, your native English language is right, let me ask you a question. Do you prefer a medium-rare steak, medium-rare steak, medium-rare steak, or medium-rare steak? (Note 1)

"Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak."

The Academy's Spell Translation Enchantment was briefly stuck.

Yes, this student is very academic...... Russell secretly praised in his heart.

Russell immediately sat in the vacant seat next to the boy who asked the question, and felt that this classmate had a good temperament and an unlimited future.

There is the potential to be a funny character!

"Hello friend, what do you call it? My name is Russell. Russell took the initiative to greet the boy in front of him.

"Subway." The boy blurted out.

The name is very recognizable, and it must be an important character...... Russell nodded, not caring if it was his real name.

Because of the occult effect of names, many students deliberately use pseudonyms when entering school to avoid some name-based curses and spells.

But Russell doesn't care about this, anyway, the kana will also have a occult connection with the ontology, and the difference from the real name is very small.

……

Russell and Subway had a pleasant exchange for a while.

From the conversation, Russell learned that Subway was slightly older than himself, and he was also a native of China, from the Fangshi Yiren family in the southeast coastal area, the Sai family.

Subway knows a lot more about the college than Russell. He also mentions that an old friend of his is in his first year at the academy and is majoring in the Department of Mind and Illusion.

In contrast, Russell's family background is much more ordinary-

He comes from an ordinary family that has nothing to do with the transcendent realm, and there is no support from any magic family or secret association behind him.

After learning about Russell's family history, Subway did not mean to discriminate, and reminded in a serious voice:

"Russell, a candidate like you from an ordinary family, if you can successfully enter the school, you must pay more attention.

"In the academy, there are quite a few people who will form gangs and form gang associations - there are all kinds of names, such and such a brotherhood/sorority, such and such a club, such and such a club, such and such an association.

"After entering the school, don't mess with those forces, most of them claim to be social elites, super grudges!

"You're from an ordinary family, so it's best to find a gang to join and get asylum.

"That old friend of mine has been bullied many times by an association gang called the 'White Wolf Club' because he didn't join any forces."

After hearing this, Russell frowned: "Why would the academy tolerate the existence of these forces?" ”

Subway was slightly skeptical, seemingly surprised that Russell would ask such a question.

He was just about to explain when he heard a magnificent sound in the air, as if it came from infinity.

"The exam will start in 10 minutes, and all candidates are asked to find a partner of their own and combine them into a double team. Candidates who have not completed the test in a team by the time the exam officially starts will be automatically assigned a partner. ”

This year's admissions exam, is it a two-person team to clear the customs? Russell seemed to understand something.

- The entrance examination of the college is tested in a different way every year, and it is completely confidential to the outside world.

"Do you need to team up in pairs for this year's exam?" Surprised, Subway turned to Russell and said, "Uh, Russell, how about the two of us together?" ”

As soon as Subway finished speaking, before Russell agreed, he felt someone tap him on the shoulder from behind and hurriedly turned his head.

The candidate in the back is a white-haired teenager with an evil and unruly temperament all over his body.

The white-haired teenager smiled evilly:

"Hey, that Subway in front, I just heard you introduce yourself, you're from the Saijia, right? I think you're interesting.

"It just so happens that my little brother doesn't know where to sit, how about giving you a chance to team up with me when the exam comes later?"

Subway said that he wanted to team up with Russell, and when he heard someone inviting him, he suddenly turned his head and said without hesitation:

"Okay, okay, I'll team up with you.

"I'm sorry, Russell, you can find another teammate."

Russell had no problem with that.

He comes from an ordinary family, and he hasn't been in contact with the otherworldly world for a long time, so he certainly doesn't seem to be a good teammate on the surface.

Russell can basically guess the direction of the next plot:

It is estimated that it is a standard withdrawal flow plot, and when he comes back with a slap in the face within 5 chapters, he will make Subway regret not teaming up with him.

The next second, he heard the white-haired young man say to Subway with a smile:

"Oh yes, you probably don't know who I am.

"Has the Arctic Wolf, the boss of the White Wolf Club, heard of it? He's my own brother!

"It's good if you call me white. Follow me and make sure you can beat it easily.

"After entering the school, I will take you to meet the seniors of our White Wolf Club, if you behave well, maybe you will be honored to be a member of our White Wolf Club."

After listening to the other party's words, Subway's expression changed slightly, his attitude changed one hundred and eighty degrees, and he rejected the candidate with the pseudonym "White" with a smile:

"Oh forget it, thank you for your kindness."

He turned to Russell again and said:

"Russell, let's team up with the two of us."

This school gang called the "White Wolf Club" and his brother have a bad reputation. Well, the one who bullied Subway's old friend! He tried to woo Subway, but was rejected?

Russell's mind fluctuated and he probably understood what was going on.

"Subway. What do you mean by what the hell is like a kid? Bai looked angry, and stared firmly at Subway, who had suddenly changed his attitude.

Subway smiled:

"No, no, you can find someone else. I just remembered that I had promised just now that I was going to team up with Russell next to me, and it was not good to suddenly regret it...... Russell: You say yes, yes? ”

Subway winked at Russell desperately.

"Yes." Russell also nodded.

"I see......" Shiro smiled.

Then, Bai's expression changed suddenly, and he stood up suddenly, and grabbed Subway's collar:

"Are you a fool for me? When you hear my brother's name, your attitude changes.

"What do you mean? Look down on my brother, look down on our White Wolf Club? ”

Just when Russell was hesitating to help, he heard Bai pointing at himself and saying:

"Team up with this paddle? Don't think I didn't hear what you guys were talking about. He comes from a family of Paddlers and has been in contact with the otherworldly world for less than a year. ”

Paddler is a slurious term for ordinary people who do not have supernatural powers, and is sometimes used to refer to transcendents who are born into ordinary families. This is a word that Russell and Subway just learned during their conversation.

It's this familiar plot routine again, and my abnormal physique has taken effect...... Russell covered his face.

He turned his head and corrected the white-haired candidate:

"No, it's less than a month, 29 days to be exact."

The corners of Bai's mouth twitched, as if provoked, and stared at Russell viciously for a few seconds.

Immediately afterward, Bai realized that carrying Subway like this would easily attract the attention of the people around him, so he put Subway down and sat back in his seat.

Returning to his seat, Bai couldn't help but reflect on how he had become so impulsive just now, as if he was desperately trying to create conflicts?

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and said in a mean tone:

"I said, Subway, you don't really think that any bullshit thing can pass the college's admissions exam, do you?

"And even if you can pass, if your grades are poor, you won't be able to get a few college coins. I don't need to say more about how important the Academy Coin is to the future of the College life!

"Just to disgust me, just find a random guy who definitely has no future and team up?"

Hearing Bai insulting himself, Russell didn't look back, and replied:

"There won't really be an amoeba protozoa who thinks that for me, a puffy, there is any difficulty in passing the admissions exam with a high score, right?"

Who's afraid of whom!

Big deal, I'll personally find Professor Black Amber through the back door!

Russell added in his heart.

Suddenly, a large number of indecent words came from behind the seats, as well as all kinds of cordial calls from relatives.

Russell didn't refute, just listened quietly.

After the shouting at the back of the seat subsided, Subway said to Russell with an apologetic face:

"I'm sorry, Russell, for your hostility from him. I didn't expect this white to be so short-tempered. ”

"It doesn't matter. It's not your fault, I provoked him too. Russell said indifferently.

"Why are you doing that?" Subway couldn't understand it.

"In order for him to taunt me a few more words. According to the common story routine, the more he taunts, the stronger the tension of the plot to break expectations, and the greater the probability that we can pass the admissions test with good grades. Russell explained according to his own logic.

Russell has experienced too many similar things over the years.

"Huh?" Subway apparently couldn't understand Russell's brain circuitry.

At this moment, the majestic voice, which seemed to come from infinity, sounded again in the auditorium:

"Please prepare for the exam!"

Russell and Subway follow the voice prompts and each hold one hand together, indicating that they are the two sides of the team.

The next moment, a thick gray mist filled the auditorium, and all the candidates felt in a trance. The surrounding scene is like an abstract oil painting, with various colors distorted and layered, blurring and turning into darkness.

All the candidates fell into a deep sleep and fell into a dream.

The independent entrance examination of the International Academy of Legalism and Occult Sciences was conducted in an illusory dream.

(Note 1: Steak doneness is not a number, but several different English words, usually translated as, one ripe, three ripe, five ripe, seven ripe and fully cooked.) What Subway said, it's hard to translate it if you want to)
