Chapter 2 Coolantin College
The next day, after waking up, Bing Zhixiao left the room and asked a waiter, "May I ask, is it the registration exam for Coolantin Academy today?"
"Yes, these three days are the entrance exams for Coolantin Academy once a year. The waiter saw that he was wearing a big magic hat and said, "Do you want to go to Kakurantine to learn magic?"
Bing Zhiye nodded.
The waiter smiled: "You are very courageous. However, the exam requirements for Coolantin are very strict, and the admission fee is very expensive. If you don't get in, or if you don't have enough money, it's better to choose another school. ”
Bing Zhiye nodded and smiled, "Xiexie, I know your heartfelt complaint. Excuse me, which way is the teleportation array going?"
The waiter said, "Go out and turn left, go to the fork and then go to the right, and then cross the intersection and go forward." If you don't remember, there's a map of this one in front of the store. ”
Bing Zhixiao thanked him again and went out the door, and sure enough, a map was carved on the wall next to him with a large stone slab. Bing Zhiyi followed the direction to the teleportation array, only to see the old elders lining up in front of the teleportation array. Listening to their conversation, it turned out that they were all in a hurry to go to Coolantin Academy to register for the exam. There was no way, he had to line up with them.
The magic teleportation array is divided into entry and exit. It can only be used when the incoming and outgoing formations are connected to each other. Generally, an ordinary magic formation can be connected to a dozen to dozens of magic formations, so that you can reach various places in the city with the teleportation array.
Magic teleportation arrays are usually maintained by magic crystals, and there is usually a small magic altar next to the teleportation array in the city, and the magic crystals of the main body of the teleportation array are hidden in the magic altar. When the magic crystals of the main body of the teleportation array are used up, there will usually be someone from the chengguan or the local magic union who will be responsible for replacing them. In ordinary cities, in order to reduce the burden on the local government and extend the use time of a replacement crystal, the magic array is usually semi-activated, just to maintain the teleportation array can run, and to use it, the user must contribute the magic crystal, which is also the origin of the magic altar next to the teleportation array. Therefore, there will be some very inferior magic crystals sold in various countries, this kind of crystal is specially used for the use of teleportation arrays, and the price is quite cheap, and it will not add any economic burden to the people.
"Hey young man, are you going to Coolantin Academy?" It turned out to be a middle-aged man in his thirties in front of him who was talking to Bing Zhixie, who was still holding a little boy of five or six years old in his arms.
"Yes, uncle. "Bing Zhi Evil Dao.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Then you can come in too, I have two spars here that can just teleport the three of us." ”
"Uncle Xiexie. "The Ice Evil stood in the magic array. The middle-aged man was just about to put the spar into the altar, but he was preempted by the Ice Childish Demon.
The Ice Infant Evil pressed one hand on the center of the formation of the magic altar, and the magic power gushing out of the palm of his hand immediately activated the magic altar. The teleportation array under his feet soon emitted a strong light, and the small map carved in the stone on the bevel of the altar also emitted light. Just as the middle-aged man was surprised, Bing Zhiyi stretched out his finger and pressed it on the teleportation mark point of the Kurantin Academy on the map, and the light flashed, and the three of them disappeared into the magic array.
Coming out of the magic formation, the middle-aged man said in surprise: "Young man, I didn't expect you to be a magician." Seeing that you are wearing a magic hat, I thought that you were just a magic apprentice, and ordinary magic apprentices do not have as much magic as you. ”
Lan nodded and smiled, "Uncle Xiexie compliments." ”
"You're here to learn magic. ”
"Well, yes uncle. ”
The middle-aged man said: "Then we will disperse, and I will take my son to apply for the magic nursery class." Your age should go to that side and not go with us. ”
"Uncle Zaijian. Holding on to his magic hat, he bent down and performed a magician's courtesy, and then ran over there.
The middle-aged man smiled and said to his son, "Son, you also have to work hard to become a magician." ”
"Hmm. The cute child nodded his little head vigorously.
The registration office for Bing Zhixi's age has long been full of people. Finally, after waiting in line for a long time, it was finally his turn to sign up, and the muscular man who accepted the registration said: "The magician applicant is over there, and here is the martial arts exam." ”
Bing Zhiye pushed the magic hat that covered his eyes, and saw that the line of mages next to him was longer, so he immediately said, "No, I'm here to apply for martial arts." ”
The muscular male teacher raised his head to look at him, pinched his thin arm and said, "Kid, you really like to joke, if you want to become a real warrior, you must have a strong physique, you know? The ice child was pulled aside by one of his hands.
Bing Zhiye sighed lightly, looked at the old queue, and had to buy an ice cream and continue to line up.
The magician was signed up by a beautiful and amiable female teacher with pale blonde hair. Many of the boys who had signed up had not yet left, and they gathered around the table, causing Bing Zhixiao to squeeze in for a long time before squeezing in to sign up.
The silver-haired female teacher looked at the thin Bing Zhixi, smiled sweetly, and asked, "There's a cute little magician." May I ask your name?"
"Celeste Ice Childish. ”
The silver-haired female teacher asked again, "Did you come from another school, or did you come yourself?"
"I'm here on my own, ma'am. ”
When the silver-haired female teacher heard him call herself a lady, she couldn't help but smile, took out a form and handed it to him, "Please write your name, age, parents' names, and home addresses on it." ”
"I'm an orphan. ”
"Oh, I'm sorry. The silver-haired female teacher said, "Then fill in the people you are closest to and the people who raised you." ”
Bing Zhixiao took the pen and quickly filled it in.
The silver-haired female teacher took it and looked at it, and asked in surprise, "Why did you fill in your own name?"
"The person closest to me is me, and the person who raised me is also me. Bing Zhiye replied with a smile.
The silver-haired female teacher's eyes suddenly flashed with a look of surprise and admiration, and she pulled him to her side and whispered in his ear: "You are so pitiful, but it is not okay to write like this." I'll give you another form and you write the names of people you know, but don't tell anyone. ”
Bing Zhixiao nodded, and took the form again to fill it in. ,
The silver-haired female teacher took the form again and asked, "Who is Abigai Dahn?"
"A dead old man. Bing Zhixiao said.
The silver-haired female teacher was stunned for a moment, so she had to ask again, "What about Bernice, is it a friend you know?"
"Yes. Bingzhi said: "It's my puppy, but it's also dead." ”
The silver-haired female teacher was completely speechless, but thinking that he was quite pitiful at such an age without relatives and no reason, she signed a name and said: "You go to the exam according to the place written on the form, if you don't know how to go, you can ask the students in the academy." ”
"Xiexie, your lady. Bing Zhixiao walked into the academy without looking back.
Bing Zhiyi looked left and right all the way, but the academy was too big and he didn't know which direction to go, so he stopped a person and asked, "Hello, I'm sorry to bother you, how do you get to the entrance trial room?"
"Over there. The student who was stopped pointed in one direction: "I'll take you." ”
"I'm sorry for you. "Bing Zhi Evil Dao.
"Hello, my name is Pige Lowe. The classmate said as he led the way.
"Hello, my name is Celeste Ice Child. ”
Luo scratched his golden hair and said, "Celeste, who symbolizes heaven and happiness, is very good, can I call you Bing Zhiyi?" ”
"No, of course. "Bing Zhi Evil Dao.
Luo led him through several school buildings in the academy and turned a corner: "You look like you're here to learn magician, is your dream to be a famous magician?"
"Well, probably. Bing Zhiye replied nonchalantly.
Luo Dao: "Ah, that's a very distant and great dream. Luo Man thought that he would also ask what his dream was, but after waiting for a while, he didn't speak, and he was a little bored, so he had to say to himself: "Don't you ask what my dream is?"
"Oh, sorry, I don't like to talk much. Bingzhi said evilly: "May I ask what is your dream?"
Luo Li said excitedly: "My dream is to be a proud knight and carry forward our Pige family. ”
"Knight?" Glancing at him, he said, "That's a very expensive business. ”
Luo Dao: "Yes, my family is a small nobleman in the empire, my father and mother have saved money for a few years, and they have saved money for a set of armor for me, and as long as my body stops growing, my father will ask a familiar alchemist to create a better set of magic armor for me." ”
"Magic armor is expensive, but it's a long-term option. Bing Zhiye lowered his head and asked again, "I've walked a long way, haven't you arrived yet?"
"It's almost there, just ahead. Luo smiled and said: "If you need to order equipment in the future, just tell me, that alchemist is my father's very good friend, you can get a lot of discounts, you know that it is not okay to deal with merchants like blacksmiths and alchemists who will not bargain, and finding my father's friends can save you a fortune." ”
"Xiexie, you are such a warm and nice person. Bing Zhiye smiled at him.
The two of them came to a few rows of inconspicuous wooden houses, and there were many people gathered outside the house, almost all of them were teenagers of the same age as Bing Zhiye and Luo.
Luo Dao: "Here it is." This is the place where the first test is, it is one of the test points of Kuranting, if you can pass it, you can participate in the re-examination after five days, and only if you pass the re-examination can you become a great academy of Kuranting, Shijie. The first row of cabins is tested by magicians, you have to work hard, the first test is easy. Then I'm gone. ”
"Hmm. Bing Zhiyi nodded and walked towards the crowd.
There are many rooms in the first row of wooden houses, and there are many people in front of the door, some are waiting for friends after the test, and some are queuing, and it seems that they have to queue up for the first test.
At this time, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder, and Bing Zhixiao looked back and saw that it was Luo: "Why are you back again, is there anything else?"
Luo Dao: "I saw that you were alone and didn't have any friends to accompany you, so I came to accompany you." ”
"Oh, that's right. Bing Zhiyi thought about it for a while, and didn't refuse: "Xiexie, I'm sorry to delay your time." ”
"It's fine. Luo Dao: "The room here is to test different types of magic, if you like or are best at which one, you can enter which room, after the test, the examiner will make a rough record, after passing the retest, you will record your expertise in more detail, and you will make arrangements for your situation when you study in the future." ”
"That's right. Bing Zhiyi answered, and then didn't speak for a long time.
Luo Dao: "Hey, you don't seem to like to talk very much, you have never taken the initiative to say a word to me until now, and you always say a word when I ask." ”
Bing Zhixiao apologized: "I'm sorry, my personality is like this. ”
Luo smiled: "It's okay. Have you chosen which room are you going to go into?"
Bing Zhixiao looked at it one by one: "No matter which room you enter, don't you always have to queue up?"
Luo Dao: "It's boring to queue, and it was the same when I came here the year before last. If you find it boring, you can take a look around and you'll find a lot of little secrets. ”
"Oh. "Ice Evil looked around, there were many flower beds and flower beds in the Coolantin Academy, and the decoration of the academy was very peaceful and beautiful. There seemed to be a lot of things flying around in the flower bed, and if you looked closely, it turned out to be little goblins flying all over the sky, and if you looked closely, it turned out that those were all scenes conjured up by magic. He saw an entrance to the ground beside the flower bed, and it seemed that below it was the hub of the magic of the transformation.
Luo Jianlan saw the entrance and said, "Do you know what's down there?"
Bing Zhiye looked at him suspiciously, "Isn't it a magic array?"
"Yes, but it's more than that. Luo smiled: "It's still a small shop down there." ”
"Oh!" Bing Zhixiao looked at it, and sure enough, a few people came out of below, smiling and holding ice cream.
Luo Dao: "It's very hot now, you wait here for a while, I'll buy two frozen pastries, and we'll wait while eating." ”
"How can this be done, I'd better go with you. Bing Zhixiao didn't want to trouble him all the time: "It should be me xiexie you." ”
As soon as the two of them entered the ground, they immediately felt much cooler. It's quite a big underground, but there are already a lot of people standing here, all of whom are here to avoid the heat and enjoy the coolness. There was a large block of ice supported by a very magical array between the crowd, and a few people put their hands on it from time to time and put it on their faces.
Luo walked to the shop and asked, "Hey, Sister Dole hasn't seen you for a long time, do you have any delicious ice drinks?"
The waitress named Dole was a female waitress who was busy handing the ice cream to the customer, and said, "Why did you come here?" The boss knows that he is going to recruit new students recently, and he has already made a new freezing point, and he is ready to take this opportunity to make a lot of money. ”
"Alright, get me two. ”
Dole said: "Then you wait a while, today's sales are really good, the boss has gone to the freezer to get the goods, and it should be coming soon." Dol finally finished his work, leaned on the counter and looked at the young man wearing a shabby magic hat next to Luo and said, "It's a little magician, is it your friend?"
Luo Dao: "Yes, it's a friend I just met. He came to register for the exam today, and his name is Bing Zhixie. ”
"Hello ma'am, my name is Celeste Ice Child. Bing Zhixiao took off his hat and said politely.
"Wow, what a pretty boy. Dole was as enthusiastic as Luo, and touched his blue white hair: "If you don't mind, I'll just call you by your name." If you become a student of Coolantin, I will be your senior. ”
Luo looked at the people chatting around him, and said to Dole: "Sister Dole, you will definitely get a lot of money for helping the school work this time, don't forget to treat yourself when the time comes." ”
"Okay. Dole smiled, "When did I get the money and didn't invite you?" Dole took two stools for them and chatted.
