"Get your hands off the way!"

At the moment when the tentacles appeared, a teacher next to him hurriedly shouted.

Lloyd was already startled by the sudden outpouring of tentacles, and immediately withdrew his hand like an electric shock.

The crystal ball dimmed in an instant, and the tentacles that poured out of it vanished, and everything was calm.

"Uh...... Such a picture ......"

Lloyd was stunned, looked down at his hand, then turned back and asked:

"Does that mean I'm gifted in learning magic?"

"You ......"

This sentence directly asked the four bald heads present so that they couldn't say a word......

After a few seconds, one of the bald teachers reached out and scratched his non-existent hair, and then said very seriously:

"Sorry, we can't draw conclusions, because a vision like this is something we've never encountered before."

Another teacher followed suit:

"Alright, the talent test is over, you can take him for a walk elsewhere, but remember, don't let him touch those magic creatures again!"

With that, he forcibly drove Lloyd and the three of them out of the infirmary with some impatience, and then slammed the door shut.

"This ......"

The bald brothers who brought Lloyd over to 'see the world' suddenly became extremely embarrassed.

Lloyd also asked helplessly:

"So what's the situation now?"

"Let's go to the lounge and talk......"

The bald brother pouted at the other side of the hallway.

The three of them went to the lounge together, and the two teachers in the infirmary were around the crystal ball, carefully examining it.

"I can't see anything abnormal in the reading, only his rank is only a third-order [veto], but his spiritual power is very strong, far beyond the standard of the third-order, and even stronger than the ordinary fifth-order...... But what about that vision just now? ”

"This 'detection crystal', in addition to those ordinary functions, can also read some of the student's superficial thoughts, under the guidance of our words, the result should be closer to his subconscious imagination of the concept of 'magic', but why is there a bunch of evil tentacles?"

"Did he subconsciously associate magic with these things? He has a deep malice towards magic? ”

"That's not supposed to be this kind of vision, it's not like we've met students who don't have an interest in magic or even an aversion to magic, and when they touch the 'Detection Crystal', the scene they show is just some ominous picture, not this kind of tentacles that portend madness and chaos."

"Could it be because he's a special freshman in the space department? Since it's linked to the space, it's not surprising that there are any freaks. ”

"Possibly......"

A bald teacher said, opened the cabinet containing the crystal ball, grabbed a thin note from underneath, and looked at the various marks left on it.

"It's a pity, his physical condition is actually very good, except for being too thin, the other basic values are completely in line with our needs here, if there is no problem like the one just now, he should be able to pass the next few tests smoothly."

Another teacher also took the note, looked at it carefully, and then said with regret:

"Yes, the spiritual power is very strong, the rationality is also very high, and what is even more commendable is that it has a strong adaptability to spiritual pollution, which is an incomparable and precious talent, and it is definitely a rare genius! The latter tests must have been difficult for him......

The only flaw was that he was too weak to get stuck in the 'bullet with his bare hands' test. ”

"It's a pity that his impression of 'magic' is too weird, otherwise ......"

"Let's talk to the professor and see what they have to say?"

"It's okay, but this kid has been cut off in advance by the space department, and it's hard to convince that Lawrence to release him, right? Although he didn't seem to make much of a move, no one in the academy should be willing to convince him. ”

"That's what professors should consider, anyway, let's report the problem first."

……………………

"Huh? Why do you need to 'break boulders in the chest' and 'catch bullets with your bare hands' to become a mage? ”

Lloyd asked with a surprised look on his face as he held up a dumbbell in his hand.

Then I heard a commotion:

"Hmph~Hmph~ Drink, ahh!!hh

It was the sound of a muscular guy not far away practicing bench press.

And this so-called lounge is simply a gym!

There are several 'mages' with bald heads and beautiful muscles, resting.

Well, bench presses, deadlifts, pull-ups for rest......

Although it feels weird to Lloyd, looking at these guys, they have a 'ghost back' per capita, and they are somewhat envious in their hearts.

The mountains of the City of Order gave him that fitness manual, which was very effective in strengthening strength and improving physical fitness, but it was not very good at building muscle, I don't know what the reason was?

But since he came to the gym, Lloyd also 'did as the locals', picked up a dumbbell and played, and then chatted with the bald brothers.

Because the follow-up test was directly canceled, the two brothers verbally introduced the follow-up test items to Lloyd.

As a result, I heard the words 'chest crushing boulders' and 'grabbing bullets with bare hands'......

Do you want to be a mage or do you want to be a mage on the streets?

"It's not like you think, although it sounds a bit like street juggling, but it's actually a completely different pattern, mainly used to test your use of spiritual power, and the ability of inspiration to coordinate and guide your body, which are all invisible results of 'detecting crystals'."

"yes, it's actually quite fun."

The bald brothers explained in harmony with each other.

"Well, it's just a pity that I failed in the first level......"

Lloyd shrugged his shoulders, changed the dumbbells, and said with some regret.

"Don't take it personally, that 'Detection Crystal' is not accurate in everything, for example, the only 'S-level' honor student in our Ancient Magic Department at present, when he touched the 'Detection Crystal', the picture he presented was even more exaggerated than yours."

"Oh?"

Lloyd was interested, and listened to the bald brother continue to gossip:

"That guy, when he was a freshman, originally planned to apply for the art department and become a homemaker, but he was instigated by his roommate in their dormitory, so he came to try our ancient magic department......"

"He was actually quite reluctant to 'magic' at first, it is said that when he was a child, he was cheated out of his parents' entire wealth by a charlatan who pretended to be a mage, and then he was very resistant to 'magic'......"

"So when he touches the crystal, he presents that kind of extremely evil and weird picture, eh...... I don't know how to describe the situation to you, you just imagine it like a pot of cake full of all kinds of eyes, right? ”

When Lloyd heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

This picture ...... Evil?

Feels like a creative dish, huh?

You can consider replicating it in the future and letting my sister try it.

And the bald brothers continued to sing and say:

"But even if such a picture appeared during the test, the two teachers firmly recognized his talent, not only insisted that he continue to participate in the follow-up test, but also took a lot of trouble to convince him, and finally successfully 'tricked' him into our ancient magic department."

"After that, it only took him about five years to raise the initial 'D-' rating to 'S', and he became a famous inspirational legend in Mizkatokry."

"So Lloyd, you don't have to worry too much, maybe you still have a chance later, but then again, you also joined the space department, right? Then don't worry about that. ”

"Ahaha, I'm not worried about this, I just think that my test result is not good, will it have some bad effects in the future?"

"You don't have to worry about that, Mizkatok is a place of freedom and tolerance, and you've read the freshman handbook, right? There are many subjects on it, which are difficult to accept in the outside world, but in Mizcatok, everyone can be treated equally, as long as you don't violate the rules of the academy. ”

"Well, I kind of like it."

Lloyd nodded, and was about to propose that the two of them take him around the other place again, when the door to the common room was broken in by a bald man who told the two brothers to go to the professor's place.

The three of them could only part helplessly, and Lloyd could only go shopping by himself.

But he is not a student of the Department of Ancient Magic, so he can't go to the second floor of this tower, and on the bottom floor, there is really nothing to see, there is no library, there is no so-called 'magic practice room' and 'magic laboratory', only the cafeteria and the rest room, and there is very little information to obtain.

Then there was nothing to stay in here, so Lloyd left the tower and went outside, and then prepared to go to the Manifestation Department to have a look.

He then followed the guidance of the 'mini-map' in front of him and came to the outside of a tower marked with [Manifestation].

Compared to the magic tower in front of it, it was much more deserted, and there were no students in sight, and there was no movement inside.

Lloyd even saw a few cobwebs at the entrance, and it felt like no one had been in or out for a long time.

They were all strangely placed, far away from the other towers, tucked into remote locations in the corners, and even the nearby greenery was not done, it was bare, and it looked a bit desolate and dilapidated.

Is it so unpopular in Mizkatok?

Lloyd couldn't help but be a little curious, so he approached the door with questions.

As a result, as soon as he took a few steps, he felt an invisible force form an invisible wall, blocking his steps.

"Huh? Is it forbidden to visit? ”

Lloyd was feeling a little strange when the force suddenly loosened again, opening the door for him, as if inviting him in.

Then Lloyd felt that the cobwebbed doorway was exuding something familiar and comfortable.

He didn't think much about it, and subconsciously walked in, and then peeled off the cobwebs in front of the door, and pushed open the door that seemed to have been closed for a long time.

Ka~Zi~

With a shrill noise, the heavy iron door slowly opened, revealing a long, narrow, dimly lit corridor inside, where nothing could be seen clearly.

But the atmosphere in the air that was familiar to Lloyd was even stronger, and he even couldn't wait to walk in.

And the little milk cat that was originally shrunk in his pocket, seeing that he had made up his mind, quickly jumped off him, shrank at the door, and the poor 'meow' barked twice.

It seems to remind the owner to pay attention to safety, right?

But at this time, Lloyd didn't care much about this, and after walking into the tower, he suddenly had a comfortable feeling of returning home, strolling leisurely in the dimly lit corridor, as if he was appreciating and enjoying the atmosphere here.

But in this corridor, there was nothing, no room, no door, no sign, no light, only darkness in front of you.

There is not even a staircase like going up, just this floor.

And it's a straight passage that seems to stretch to the horizon.

Lloyd walked patiently and slowly, as if he had forgotten the time and the distance, and he could no longer remember how far he had walked.

At the end, at the end of this narrow corridor, he found a quaint and heavy iron door.

Lloyd didn't think much of it, didn't use inspiration to check, and just pushed the door open as if it were the door of his own room.

Then, his vision suddenly opened up, and the light brightened slightly.

He saw a gray canopy, very low, as if it would be pressed down at any moment.

In the sky, a scarlet blood moon hung out, emitting a light as dazzling as blood.

But this light was completely blocked by the gray mist around it, and it failed to spill to the ground, allowing the world below to maintain its own complete color.

And beneath this blood moon was a desolate and dead world, all of that dilapidated gray, like the end of the world.

There was nothing here, nothing to see except the towers that towered.

There are no mountains, no rivers, no life.

Only the towers stood above this dead wasteland, as if they were holding up the canopy of the sky that was about to collapse.

Lloyd looked at the scene in front of him, and suddenly realized why this place made him so familiar.

It's like, it's really like......

It's really similar to your own [Mind Field]......

It's just that the towers are not spiral, but ordinary cylindrical.

And it also lacks that small patch of grass and the life and greenery in it.

It looks more similar to the transcendent school district where Lloyd is currently located.

And just as Lloyd was quietly admiring the familiar picture in front of him, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears:

"Fortunately, the holder of the Book of Truth."
