Volume 1: The Scourge of Witchcraft and the Enemies of a Thousand Years Ago Chapter 22 Written Exam
As soon as Miss Winslow's words fell, the deputy beside her, who was holding the exam papers, began to act.
I saw her open the paper bag containing the exam papers, took out her wand and made a few gestures on it, and at the same time whispered something, and the parchment rolled into a cylinder flew out of it in turn and automatically fell into the hands of the corresponding candidates.
The two stared at each of the test papers that flew over, hoping that they would fall into their hands. But most of them flew directly behind them, or fell into the hands of people nearby. The two of them were fluttering in their hearts, and they couldn't describe it with the word nervous alone, and they said that they should be so unlucky, but they dropped their test papers?
Just as they were nervous, two test papers flew towards them at great speed.
Alan was quick to catch one of them, and Riel's seemed a bit reckless, as it didn't fall into his master's hand as accurately as most exam papers, but hit him directly in the face.
However, the next second, when Alan opened his exam paper, he was stunned, because the entire exam paper was blank except for a number in the upper left corner and his name under the number.
There were no questions? He flipped through the exam papers and checked them several times, but there was indeed not a single word in the rest of the place.
He turned his head to look at Riel, who also looked confused at the equally blank exam paper in his hand. He looked down again at the exam paper in his hand, and found something even more interesting, the name on the parchment seemed to be his own handwriting. This added another point to the doubts in Allen's heart.
At this time, Miss Winslow's voice came again: "Those who have not received the test papers can go home now! Come back next year! Those with odd numbers come with me!"
Riel shuddered, he was forty-one.
"It doesn't get any worse than that. He whispered a complaint, and his mood instantly fell to the bottom.
"Good luck!" Alan looked frustrated, so he had to cheer him up.
"Come with me if you have an even number. The middle-aged lady who was in charge of distributing the test papers just now said and held up her umbrella and walked towards the freshman building.
The students also put up their umbrellas to follow.
Alan glanced ahead, but didn't see Alyssa, and when he turned around, he found that she was in the singular numbered team like Riel, and his heart instantly became much more worried. However, to Allen's relief, Alyssa also looked back at him and gave him an affirmative look, as if to say "don't worry".
"Be careful not to get the paper wet. The lady walked into the rain and reminded them that she seemed to be much easier to get along with than Miss Winslow. The students hid their test papers under their clothes and followed her.
Alan glanced back at the people left in the hallway, about a dozen of them, standing in place at a loss. Floss, the little fat man who usually likes to play tricks on him, is also among them, and is squatting at the base of the wall and sobbing at this moment.
But Alan didn't feel very relieved in his heart, but felt a burst of compassion in his heart. Because he understands that if it were him, it would probably be like this.
But he also knew that no one could help the poor little fat man, so he sighed and followed the others.
The two buildings are very close to each other, and it only takes a dozen steps to get there. By the time they closed their umbrellas, the door to the examination room had been opened by the deputy examiner.
"The exam is about to start, so please find your seat as soon as possible according to the test paper number after entering. "Alan is number thirty-two, and his seat is in the middle of the classroom.
When everyone was basically seated, the deputy examiner said: "I am the deputy examiner Lemont Mesha, and I will give you some advice before the exam: please do not do anything that insults the reputation of you and your family, if there is any abnormal situation, raise your hand immediately to report, and do not talk to each other privately, look left and right, otherwise it will be treated as cheating." ”
Hearing this, Alan saw an unknown little boy sitting in front of him and immediately raised his hand and said, "But there is nothing on our exam papers!"
"Don't be in a hurry...... Each of your papers is locked, and the keys are in your own hands. ”
So they were silent for a while, until nine o'clock, when the chiming bird called three times, and the deputy examiner spoke again: "Now please put your hands on the place where your name is written on the exam paper, and continue to inject a little magic." ”
Alan did so, and then something magical happened, and the blank test paper began to show a faint handwriting little by little, and after looking closely, he found that it was a series of questions, and it became clearer and clearer.
Alan thought to himself, it would be a great idea to use the magic provided by the candidates themselves to make a lock, and they themselves are the unique key, so that not only can the exam questions be leaked in advance, but also prevent someone from taking the test for them. "But when did this happen?" he looked at the handwriting of his name again, as if remembered. Just a few weeks ago, they used the same parchment to sign the anti-cheat agreement, and were asked to inject a little magic.
"It seems that this is the time. As soon as Alan thought of this, he was suddenly pulled back to his thoughts by the deputy examiner's voice "The exam begins!"
"The first question is, uh......'Please explain in detail about the generation, storage, and use of mana. ’...... It's great, it's not that hard. He read the question quickly, and after a little thought, he picked up his pen and began to answer the question.
"Mana is a precious resource, it is naturally produced by the human body, but the speed of generation can vary from person to person. Generally speaking, although most people's mana generation speed is very slow, it can already meet the needs of daily life, and only some orthodox magic families will choose to carry out special cultivation exercises to achieve the purpose of increasing the speed of mana generation.
Mana is essentially a natural product of consuming energy and stamina at the same time, and is colorless and odorless, unable to be touched, and will take on different states and colors depending on the person when using magic with spells. The human body is born with the ability to generate mana but it is not suitable for storage, whether it is naturally generated in an unconscious state or intentionally created mana will be slowly lost, so the accumulation of mana must rely on the carrier of mana.
The process of accumulating mana is simple, you just need to meditate and feel the flow of mana in your body, and then slowly control it to guide it to flow into the carrier. There are no requirements for the size and shape of the carrier, because the magic has no volume and can enter the same carrier infinitely. There are many items that can act as carriers, and theoretically inanimate objects can do, a piece of wood, a stone, or even a feather. The most widely used carrier of mana is the wand. There are also many materials used to make wands, usually wood or stone. The advantage of choosing a wand as a carrier of magic is that it is durable and easy to carry, and it can store mana while allowing mana to be released directly, making it easier to cast magic smoothly, and the existing magic needs to be coordinated with action commands, and the lightness of the wand has a natural advantage in this regard.
The release of mana is very dependent on the carrier, because the generation of mana by most people is very slow, and generally speaking, the effect of the human body while generating mana is very weak, and it is basically impossible to use any magic. Although the speed at which mana is generated is basically uncontrollable, the amount and speed of mana release is entirely up to the individual's will, just like when you pour water out of a bottle, how much you need to pour and how fast you need to do it, depending on the level of magic used. ”
After Alan answered the first question, he simply checked it again, and felt that he was quite satisfied with his answer, so he began to write the next question.
"Please briefly describe the basic types of magic, the basis for its classification, and the corresponding characteristics of each type of magic, with appropriate examples. ”
"Due to the differences between the individual constitutions of mages, the nature of the magic generated in each person's body is different, which in turn leads to different types of magic that each person can use. Based on this, the existing magic can be roughly divided into the following five types: general magic, elemental magic, medical magic, space-time magic, and enchantment magic.
Among them, general magic has nothing to do with the nature of magic power, but can only be achieved by releasing ordinary magic power. For example, the most basic levitation spell can be used by everyone, while elemental magic is the most popular, complex, and widely used magic system in addition to general magic, which can manipulate a single element such as fire, Water flow, or the fusion of two or more elements to manipulate the resulting new element, is also the most destructive and dangerous type of magic; medical magic can be combined with medicine to heal patients in a relatively short period of time, requiring the user to have a very keen perception of the release of magic and a very subtle ability to control; space-time magic is not destructive, but can help the caster to carry out long-distance fixed-point space transfer to save time and physical strength, or directly have an effect on time, but the caster's magic reserves and instantaneous release ability are extremely high; enchantment magic is a bit special compared to the above-mentioned types of magic, and is somewhat similar to general magicAlmost everyone can learn, but it is very different from it, generic magic has nothing to do with the nature of magic, but it can be combined with the caster's own magical nature to create special spaces of different shapes, sizes, and functions according to the needs of the caster. ”
As Alan wrote this, he couldn't help but stop writing and couldn't help but think, "What kind of magic would I be suitable for learning?" Elemental magic and spatial magic seem to be quite useful......
However, the small rustle of the room made him quickly realize that he couldn't get distracted, "Don't think about it now, the focus now is on the exam...... Next!"
