Chapter 1 Aptitude Test
1.
Jokes should not be opened more than zero, stop here, and no longer embarrass Ai Xue.
Ai Xue realized that the connection with Zero had been restored, and she put away her playful attitude.
"Mr. Rhein, I hope you can teach me more about summoning magic. Zero (Ai Xue) said
"That's nature. I wish I could have a disciple as good as you. Teacher Rhine was also very relieved to hear such words.
"By the way, I've never heard of anyone summoning a humanoid guardian like you. Being able to speak for oneself is a very practical ability, but it is definitely not limited to that. Your guardian may have a very special and powerful ability. ”
The eyes of a middle-aged woman named Rhine lit up.
"I feel the need to put your guardian to an aptitude test right away!"
Before the two could express their opinions, they were pulled out of the room by Teacher Rhine.
Just when Zero was in a coma, Ai Xue went back to the dormitory and got a few pieces of her own clothes for Zero. During this period, Mr. Rhine had already done a full body examination of Zero.
From the outside, Zero is no different from an ordinary human girl, let alone a layman, and even other summoners will not think that the human-type Zero is a soul contract summoning beast when they see it. According to the rules of the past, the rarer the guard, the more special the ability it has. Even humanoid guardians, such as mermaids and so on, have incredibly powerful powers. This kind of guardian in her completely human form, Rhine wants to judge what kind of ability she has, but he can't do it.
Judging from the expressions of the two just now, Zero can relay what Ai Xue wants to say, but at the same time, he also has an autonomous consciousness and will not perfectly execute Ai Xue's orders.
Rhine took Zero and Ai Xue back to the high-level water magic room, which was her home field.
However, Zero had never had the opportunity to see the structure of this real room. Now, she had a keen interest in the huge magic array in front of her. The rocky ground is dotted with small channels 2 cm wide and about 3 cm deep, in which water flows. These channels do not appear to have been dug by hand, but rather as the result of natural erosion by flowing water, so the lines are haphazard and irregular. But such a thing gives people a sense of tranquility and harmony. The outer ring is a circular pool 1 meter wide and about 1 meter deep. There is no water source such as a spring, but the water in it flows quietly under the impetus of some mysterious force.
"This is an extremely powerful water-based amplification magic array. Seeing Zero's curious look, Rhein explained to her.
"It was designed by Lucia, the archmage of Princess Chrissy's time, and took years to build. The roof and the ground are slightly protruding arcs in the center, and the water evaporates from the circular pool, recondenses on the roof, drips on the center of the protruding circle on the ground, and flows back to the pool, and many water magicians use magic day after day to speed up this cycle. A few years later, the magic circle formed by the natural erosion of flowing water was far more powerful than ordinary magic circles drawn by hand. After the alchemy master reinforced the ground, the water here has been circulating for nearly a hundred years, and the magic contained in it is far greater than that of me, a level 7 magician. With its amplification, water mages can easily use magic beyond the ranks. ”
Rhine paused, "What's more, here, my magic control power will be amplified enough to collect and release level 7 magic at will, so it is perfect for the ability test of unknown guardians." ”
Zero and Ai Xue had unclear expressions.
"Since it's a humanoid guardian, let's test it according to human standards first. ”
Teacher Rhein found a crystal ball out of nowhere.
"Let's test your mental strength first. The threshold for this crystal ball is still 100, but it has been specially depressurized, so there should be no unexpected failures. ”
Zero put his hand on it cooperatively. The crystal ball glows brightly, and the mental power strength is displayed at 100.
"It seems that you have perfectly inherited Ai Xue's spiritual strength. Teacher Rhein carefully put away the crystal ball, "Stand in the center of the magic circle and try to see if you can gather the water element." ”
"Hmm. Zero responded.
Although as early as a few days ago, Zero knew about the flow of this test. However, in order to avoid trouble, I still listened to her command step by step.
"Say to me, O gentle water, and listen to my call. "Rhine taught the incantation to Zero.
"O gentle water, listen to my call. Zero's eyes were slightly closed, trying to feel the scent of the water element.
However, it is of no avail.
"It seems that the other three elements don't need to be tested, and the guardian will generally be the same or complementary to the master's ability, and the spiritual strength is very high, but it can't be affinity with the elements, just like Ai Xue. Rhine noted the phenomenon and signaled that Zero could come out.
"If you can't use magic, you may be superior in terms of physical ability. Rheinland made reasonable inferences.
Then, as soon as Rhine raised his hand, he erected a wall of ice in front of Zero.
"This is a level 4 magic ice wall technique of the water system, and under the amplification of the magic array, it is enough to resist the full force of a warrior below level 6. You attack this and try it. ”
Zero was a little apprehensive in the face of the seemingly solid ice wall. Although I don't know what the limit of my strength is, I instinctively feel that this is definitely not something that I can destroy. Well, it's a test anyway, so it shouldn't be dangerous.
Zero tied his horse in style, tentatively stretched out his right fist, and struck the ice wall that Rhine summoned with seven points of strength, five seconds later......
"It hurts!" the screams of killing pigs sounded in the silent room.
Rhine immediately inspected the ice wall, and it was still crystal clear, not even scratched.
"It seems that the physical attack is also very low, and the defense is not very good. Rhein felt a little helpless when he saw this scene.
Ai Xue quickly helped Zero up from the ground, and at this time, she noticed a detail.
"Zero's body is so light!" was apparently what Ai Xue (Tong Guò Zero's body) said.
Have it?
Zero jumped on the spot twice, and didn't feel anything unusual about his weight.
Rhine didn't speak, throwing a few balloons of water at Zero.
Zero, who was hit by several large water balloons, was naturally soaking wet.
I was attacked for some reason, and although I didn't get any damage, Zero was in a bad mood. The thin clothes clinging to my body make me feel a little uncomfortable.
"Hey, why are you hitting me!h So he swallowed the last few words back.
"Weighing less than 40 kilograms, she is on the thin side at her current height, but it is still within the normal range. The backward stroke caused by the water balloon hitting Zero's body was judged to be her approximate weight.
"No, if you count the clothes, it's probably more than 1 kilogram. Oops!"
In front of her was Zero relaying Ai Xue's words, and behind it was her own exclamation.
Zero was grabbed by Ai Xue's hands by the waist and lifted up. This is a very strange feeling, obviously Ai Xue is not holding on to herself, but her body seems to have lost the restraint of gravity, and it feels a little floating in the air.
I didn't know how it worked, but everyone took note of this strange phenomenon.
"Even if I don't know what this ability is for, it can be said to be an unexpected bonus. Rhein left another mark on the list of skills that recorded zero.
"Let's move on to the physical test. The next item is agility and speed. ”
"What to do?" Zero asked.
"Let's run two laps around this magic circle first, as fast as you can. ”
"Good. "Run without pulling your legs. Is this a lap around the playground? There's always a sense of nostalgia. However, perhaps because of the lower altitude, I feel that there is still a considerable gap between my running speed and my junior high school heyday.
Although it is only a thousand meters, it can barely run at a speed of 4 and a half minutes. But after two laps, Zero was surprised to discover a fact.
Zero took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. I don't have the exhilarating feeling of adjusting my breath after a long run. The sensations in her body made her wonder if she had been exercising vigorously just now.
Zero didn't stop and wait for Rhein's next command, but started running laps again. This time, she tried to hold her breath - and then held it twice for two laps.
This was also noticed by Ai Xue and Rhine. Zero was quite evenly paced during the four laps, and he didn't breathe at all for the last two laps!
"Unlike humans, don't you need to breathe......" Rhine left another note on the record.
Zero was a little uncomfortable with the feeling of this novelty. In the past, due to the habit of maintaining even breathing, it seems that the body does not need to consume glucose and oxygen to supply energy. This also reminds Zero once again that she is no longer human.
Just when Zero was about to stop, he suddenly felt the soles of his feet slip and fell "upside down".
It hurts!Zero rubbed his ass with one hand and propped up the ground with the other to stand up. Then she immediately noticed the problem.
"Damn, dead old woman, you're putting ice at my feet. ”
It's tolerable, it's unbearable! Uncle can't bear it, aunt can't bear it! Zero doesn't care whether Rhine is Ai Xue's teacher or not.
After getting up, he galloped to Zero, who was next to Rhein, and unleashed an uppercut.
Then it hit the ice shield.
"It hurts!" the screams filled the room again.
"It's a bit stupid to have a lack of balance and the ability to deal with unexpected situations. Rhine made another note in the notebook.
Zero feels that his IQ has been insulted, and the whole person is not good. From now on, she has already identified Rhine as an enemy!
However, the hero does not suffer immediate losses, and at present, she can't think of a way to break through the Rhine defenses.
It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Dead old woman, let's wait and see!
No, there is a way. With a frown, he thought about it, and Zero came up with a bad move.
"Teacher Rhine, can you see what you have memorized?"
"Absolutely. ”
Then Rhine handed the notebook in his hand to Ai Xue, who was at a loss.
Then it was snatched away by Zero Shun lì.
"Careless. Rhein suddenly realized his mistake.
Because his tone was very respectful, Rhine thought that Ai Xue was talking to him, but he didn't expect that Zero would fake the holy decree.
"Looks like I'm going to have to retract the preamble. "Rhine didn't care that the book that recorded the real information was snatched away by Zero, anyway, the real things he just did were all to test Ai Xue's ability to guard, and there were no complicated numbers, and he remembered it just by his head.
Rhine secretly made a new evaluation of Zero, will be clever and vindictive.
After Zero got Rhine's record book, he found that he didn't know the words on it at all, so he had no choice but to put it away temporarily. But there are not too many pockets on Zero's clothes, and I can't put this kind of book, so I have to hold it in my hand in the end. As for tearing it up or something, this kind of thing that is not good for everyone, Zero naturally won't consider it.
Rhein didn't stop the experiment because of Zero's prank, instead, she was ready for the next step.
Rhine sighed, it seems that she is determined to play the role of the wicked.
"Ai Xue, no matter what happens, stand still and don't move. Rhein warned.
Ai Xue nodded, and did not answer in a zero voice.
Zero had probably guessed what Rhine was trying to do.
As expected, a large wave of hailstones fell from the sky, and it hurt to hit the body.
Zero covers his head and dodges back and forth, only to find that there are more and more hailstones. In the end, he simply didn't hide, and squatted on the spot with his head in place.
It's a pity that she didn't notice the impending crisis behind her.
"Ahh With a scream, Zero flew two meters away and fell to the ground.
2.
The result finally deviated from Rheinland's predictions. I wanted to test Zero's perception of danger with a sneak attack, and even if she didn't dodge and was injured, she could use her powerful water magic to heal quickly.
But Rhine noticed a strange phenomenon, the ice blade just now did not show its sharpness as it should be, and the white skin of Zero's flank was exposed to the air, leaving no trace. The attack just now was like a blunt weapon hitting Zero's body, and the two-meter flying distance perfectly proved this.
Rhine did not let the ice blade dissipate just now, but remained in the state after hitting zero. Rhine looked closely and saw that the ice blade had been blunted. The edge, which looked like it had been melted by heat, attracted Rheinland's attention.
When Zero cried out in pain after hitting the ice wall with his fist just now, Rhein took it for granted that Zero's defense was very low, but the situation just now clearly overturned this conclusion.
Before Zero woke up, Rhein tried a few more ice blades, then examined Zero's body, and by the way, retrieved the record book that Zero had snatched.
The results of the physical examination showed that there were no external injuries.
Ai Xue looked at the place where Zero had fallen, and she also looked concerned, but because of Rhine's previous warning, she still stayed where she was.
Rhine condensed a sharp ice sword directly in his hand, and the tip of the sword pressed against Zero's palm. With a little effort, Rhine discovered a miraculous phenomenon. The water elemental that converged into the tip of the sword broke away from its control, and the ice sword became dull as a result.
Rhein experimented with blunt spelling magic such as ice hockey on Zero's body. However, as a result, it was no different, the part of the ice hockey that touched zero, the water element broke away from the control of the Rhine, and the hard ice ball became soft and elastic, without causing zero damage
It's amazingly anti-magical!Although it's impossible to determine whether the higher-level magic of other systems can deal damage to Zero, the water system can't do it.
Zero's body is peculiar, and as long as it is elemental magic, neither blunt nor slashed can inflict substantial damage on her.
I don't know what happens when I get slashed by a weapon. In a realistic manner, Rhine borrowed a long sword from the teacher of the martial arts class to test.
The result is self-evident, the sharp blade still can't hurt a fraction, and Rhine simply avoided the next best thing, trying to cut off a few zero hairs, which also ended in failure.
This is no longer something that can be summed up by a simple sentence of "amazing defense". Rhine had already begun to wonder if Zero's ability to resist attacks and resist magic could compete with top magical beasts such as dragons.
The aptitude test for zero can be put to an end for now. Rheinland made such a judgment.
Ai Xue, who watched the whole process, felt a little distressed about Zero's encounter. But her instinct told her that Zero wouldn't get hurt because of this.
In the corner of the room, there is a door, and next door is a small classroom. Rhine began to sit down and sort out the test records, and then summarized Ai Xue's guardianship ability as follows:
Ai Xue's words can be paraphrased;
1. Humanoid intelligent creatures, with independent consciousness;
2. Magical talent is compatible with Ai Xue;
3. Ultra-light weight compared to Ai Xue;
4. The physical ability is average, and the dependence on air is not high;
5 has terrible defense.
As for the vision caused during the summoning, it has been magnificently ignored by Rhine.
3.
At the same time, Zero gradually regained consciousness.
Where does this come from?
Oh yes, it's putting me to an aptitude test. Just now, I felt like I had been hit by something.
I started to check my body, well, it didn't hurt anywhere, it didn't seem to be a problem-that's weird!
, when did Lao Tzu's clothes become such an avant-garde style?
As soon as Zero got up, several rags fell to the ground......
Fortunately, the key position is still covered. But why does it look more processed?
Forget it, don't worry about the details. Zero effort to recall, and finally remembered that he was inexplicably attacked. Thinking of this, Zero felt a dull pain in his flank, but there was no scar to the touch, maybe it was a psychological effect.
The ability to accurately read the time was still there, and Zero confirmed that he had been unconscious for more than half an hour, during which time his memory was blank.
So I had to ask Ai Xue for help.
Ai Xue didn't plan to hide it, so she simply told the whole story.
As a result, the beam between Zero and the Rhine became even deeper.
[So, I'm pretty good.] After learning that his current body has super resistance to blows and near-perfect resistance to magic, the experiment of zero feeling based on his own pain was finally not in vain.
Zero also systematically sorted out his abilities and silently made a list in his heart:
1. The ability to know the current time accurately, which is inherited from the shape of the pocket watch;
2. The stomach will not be hungry, and there is probably no need to eat to maintain the body;
3. At the same time, oxygen is not required;
4. When in contact with Ai Xue, the body will become lighter;
5. It is possible to communicate directly with Ai Xue's spirit without words;
6. You can paraphrase what Ai Xue wants to say, or you can take the initiative to refuse;
7. Super defense.
