Leo patted Thorst's shoulder and comforted: "Isn't there a second choice, it's impossible to fall off the list." ”

Unexpectedly, Soster said with a desperate face: "If I can't be admitted to St. Lauren, I'd rather give up entering the magic academy and go back to study with the teacher!"

Leo was obviously stunned, then shook his head and said, "I don't think your teacher will agree." ”

Hearing him say this, Soster suddenly grimaced, and reluctantly agreed: "Well, his old man really won't agree." ”

Knowing that this mentality of suffering from gains and losses will definitely have a negative impact on his performance in the exam, Leo said seriously: "Okay, why do you want to do so much, let's deal with the exam first." Calm your mind, as long as you do your best and have a clear conscience. ”

Sost also realized that he was in a very bad state at the moment, took a deep breath, and finally smiled: "Leo, you're right, thank you." ”

At this time, the figure of the messenger appeared at the end of the corridor, and as soon as he saw Leo, he immediately sped up again, ran over a few steps and panted: "Mr. Minerhil, you ...... Your letter, fortunately, caught up. ”

"Why is there still a letter at this time? Could it be ......" Leo already had a guess in his heart, but Sost next to him was confused.

I took the letter from the messenger, and sure enough, it was the same as the one I had received the other day, a thick parchment envelope, but there was no sender.

Leo deliberately adjusted his position so that Sost couldn't see clearly, and then opened the envelope and read it quickly.

There are only a few lines on the very ordinary paper: "Dear Monsieur Minahir, I believe that through Guò's thinking these days, you should already know what to do is the most correct and reasonable." Finally, I wish you a smooth and smooth experience, and we look forward to your results. ”

"'Grades' are you're going to look forward to. Leo had a slight hint of sarcasm on his face, then walked to the window and cast a bright flame book, turning the letter to ashes and being blown by the wind. Completely disappear from this world.

Sost asked suspiciously, "Leo, what's wrong, why did you burn it?"

Leo smiled and said, "No, a guy with a bad head invited me to a meeting now." ”

"Oh, that's what a bad head. Sost smiled dumbly, "Let's go, it's almost time." ”

............

In order to prepare for the national joint entrance examination, half of the large rooms in the headquarters building of the Magi's Council were requisitioned. Only then did more than 1,500 candidates be arranged. The two were not in the same exam room, and Leo knew that Alice would definitely send someone to pick him up after the exam, so he said hello to Sost before parting, so that he didn't have to worry.

According to the notice received in advance, I came to the No. 2073 examination room on the second floor smoothly. At this moment, the huge room was almost full, and Leo probably counted it. There were at least fifty people.

Finding his seat and sitting down, he didn't look around nervously like other candidates, but closed his eyes and relaxed. And adjust the breathing evenly. As a person who has experienced countless exams in his previous life, he still has a lot of experience in how to prepare for exams.

After a while, the invigilator checked everyone's identity. The written test has officially begun. The duration of the exam is two hours, and the overall process is exactly the same as the pre-exam in Castle Rock, but the proctoring is significantly stricter. Not only were there two mage apprentices watching the examinees, but there was also a full-fledged mage who walked around the room from time to time.

Trying to cheat in this situation is simply whimsical, and no one who can pass the guò pre-exam will be stupid enough to joke about their future.

The paper was sent down, and the name and test number were written first, and Leo skimmed it, and the content was basically the same as the previous exams, with no multiple-choice questions, only a large number of calculation fill-in-the-blank questions, and most of them were mathematical knowledge, with only a small amount of general knowledge accumulation.

"One hundred and twenty minutes, there are sixty questions on the front, and the back should be the same, and the time is still quite tight. Leo had just finished examining the front side, and was about to turn the roll to the back to take a look, when suddenly a gasping voice sounded next to him, and before he could react, this kind of sound appeared one after another.

"What's the situation?" Leo tilted his head slightly, and suddenly noticed that many candidates had surprise and panic written on their faces.

Some candidates directly asked the invigilator: "What kind of question is this, I have never seen it before, how to answer it?"

"This is a new question for this year's exam, there are no specific restrictions, you just need to draw your own conclusions. The official mage who invigilated the exam replied, and then said sternly: "The exam is fair to everyone, don't make a sound, don't think nonsense, there are a lot of questions, you'd better start answering the sheet now!"

At the same time, in a certain room of the Magic Council, Alvin, the head of the joint entrance examination, held a test paper in his hand, looking at the surveillance images of each examination room, his face was full of surprise. In fact, for the sake of the confidentiality of the test questions, he also just learned about the specific test questions.

A male high-level mage wearing a red mage robe next to Alvin looked about the same age as Alvin, both in their fifties, but due to various magical potions, their real age was unknown.

The man's appearance was very ordinary, and a badge with three silver stars on a black background pinned to his chest showed the identity of a high-level mage, only one step away from a junior mage. In this regard, he is much stronger than Alvin, who is only a junior magician.

Looking at the surprised look of his colleague, the man smiled and said, "Haha, Alvin, I didn't expect it, right?"

"The ghost can only think of it!" Alvin muttered in his heart, and then asked, "Capote, does Your Excellency the Chief Governor know about this?"

The High Mage named Capote replied, "Of course I do, otherwise how dare I mess with the question." This was something that I discussed with him for a long time before it was finally decided. ”

Glancing at the monitoring effect, many candidates were still stunned, Alvin shook his head: "I don't understand, why do you want to do this?

For those who are capable, this kind of open-ended question is suitable for them. Don't you think it will help them to form a way of thinking about mathematical problems, and promote the improvement of a good cognitive structure?" Capote asked confidently, and then continued passionately: "It is also conducive to cultivating students' innovative thinking and improving their innovative qualities. Let them know how to carry out research-based learning, improve their ability to explore, and enhance their awareness of the application of magical mathematics. I and His Excellency the President are looking forward to the changes that may be brought about. ”

Alvin sighed and said, "I admit that it will indeed bring such benefits, but if you look at these children, how can they be mentally prepared, I'm afraid it's not that people are going to play abnormally." ”

Capote said, "Isn't the purpose of our joint entrance examination to select qualified talents? ”

"Alas, anyway, I think this change is a bit too hasty, at least it should be announced in advance, and this kind of open-ended question must be difficult and controversial in terms of scoring. The total score is 60 points, and the last question alone accounts for 10 points, which is too high. This is tantamount to pushing the Magi's Council directly to the cusp, and the current situation is ......"

"I understand your concerns, but in terms of scoring, our department has sorted out a complete plan, which can definitely ensure fairness. "You know, Alvin, that this is the way of the future, and I've heard that the president has invited the editor-in-chief of Magic Light, and the senior members of the Magicure Council across the sea from the Macedral commercial United States and the island nation of Brittany, to discuss the experience of implementing open topics." If the talks are successful, they will definitely be a good medicine for the current situation. ”

"It's really a chaotic joint entrance examination that is different from the past, I hope that all of them can be smooth. Alvin muttered that since things had come to this point, all he could do was try to keep the joint entrance examination at a steady end. (To be continued......)
