Walking down the boulevard of the War College, surrounded by young boys and girls like me, who had successfully passed five rounds of testing, each with an excited expression on their faces, because it showed that we were a big step closer to a true magician apprentice.We boys and girls are lucky to be among the nearly 30,000 children of the same age in El City.Being able to become a magician is the dream of almost all children of the Green Empire, because as long as you become a magician, you will directly cross over to the ranks of nobles, and for those nobles who have some privileges, everyone yearns for them.The nobles want to maintain their glory and strive to pass on these to their children and grandchildren, while the commoners are trying to become nobles, but in today's Grimm Empire, a powerful warrior can only become a knight of glory or a guardian knight, and it is generally difficult to be promoted to a noble baron without special merits, unless the warrior can make outstanding military achievements on the battlefield, but it is very difficult.Therefore, magicians are born nobles, which is recognized by the royal family of the Green Empire.Many of the civilian teenagers were already blushing with excitement because they had successfully passed the test, and their spirits began to be constantly high, and sometimes, I felt that I should act as excited as they were, but obviously I couldn't get excited.I spent the next two rounds of testing very calmly, one of which was to test my mental strength, which was obviously beyond my expectations, because mental strength has always been my most worthy of boasting, old Kuru once said that my mental strength should be at least three times that of an ordinary adult, but when he said this, it was five years ago.And now I feel that my spiritual strength should be at least forty or above, but I walked up to the test magic crystal with apprehension, and carefully put my hand on it, but I only lit up the whole crystal slowly, and did not detonate the crystal ball as old Kuru said at the beginning, nor did I make the crystal ball brighter because I had super high spiritual power.But all in all it was not bad, the light was enough, and it was able to put a heavy stroke on the form behind my admission ticket.But the examiner's face was as cold as ice, and I swore I hadn't seen him anywhere before, or did he mistake me for beating his kids?
He looked at me like a wolf in a flock, and he was very dissatisfied with signing four points for me, and he waved me impatiently to let me pass.This incident made my swollen heart calm down quickly, and I didn't think about why the examiner had a cold face.I didn't think that the crystal ball I touched just appeared so ordinary.I just sighed from the bottom of my heart, feeling that the children around me are very spiritual, and I am just the most ordinary member of these people.I was thinking: in fact, maybe there is nothing to show off in the eyes of others, but when I think about it like this, at this moment, I become calmer.The fifth test is the most difficult for me to understand, and I have experienced the most basic exploration and test of magic perception, magic resistance, magic affinity, and mental power, which are all necessary to become a magician, although these abilities are extremely weak for us who have not yet awakened the magic pool, but they are also necessary to have.However, the examiner of the fifth test is not a magician, because I don't feel any fluctuations in his mana, on the contrary, I think he is more likely to be an ordinary person, but even if he simply stands in place, in the aura around him, he can still smell a book, such a person can only say that he is a professor, he always has a critical eye to observe us calmly.When I came into contact with this professor face to face, he had even begun to become numb, even though there were ten such professors in the entire War College today testing us children at the same time, but nearly 30,000 teenagers were assigned, and almost every one of them had to meet at least 3,000 people, just in the course of this morning.I was the latest, and because it was my fifth, when I came up to this professor, he just asked me very mechanically: How many regular pentagons can be used to form a ball?
Nima!
Isn't this a geometric arithmetic problem?
I had the urge to run wild at this moment, and such a difficult geometry problem was basically a super difficult problem for a child like me who had never been to school at all.In the city of El, children before the age of twelve can easily calculate addition and subtraction within a hundred, they are already very good, but in such a situation, the professor in front of me, with a dead face, asked me such a question, which made me feel that the sky was gray, what is this?
I think if he asked this question the same question to every child, there would never be more than one slap in the face that would have answered the question.But I could clearly see that the kid in front of me had such a relaxed expression when he passed by this professor, and I was no different.I looked suspiciously at the professor, who had no expression on his face, and his face was a little stunned.And he was standing high at this moment, looking at me like a mole at me, his lips slightly smuggled at the corners of his mouth, he was like a brave knight, his expression was more like he had done a very good deed, and in his eyes it was more like a thief.Of course I was confused, and I thought that the arrogant man would not take care of me, that he just had to live in his own world.But I didn't think about it for more than five seconds before I saw him lean down and lean into my ear and say, "If I don't tell you the truth, maybe I'll suffocate myself to death, and I need to share this with you!"
”I continued to be a little confused, so, I smelled a cheap perfume smell on him.He continued to say to me: "I have abundant evidence that you are not a child of the city of El Eyre, that you are just a wanderer, that you have only lived in the city of El for five years, that you have not brought any help to the city of El City, on the contrary, that you are like a worm, that you are sucking the blood of the city of El and that you occupy the position of an important member of a very privileged family, and that would be the case that you will be deprived of the happy life of a poor child of the city of El But now you still have to participate in the awakening ceremony of El City, you have to occupy one of the three thousand awakened positions and places, as the original inhabitants of El City, I will not let you get what you want easily no matter what" In short, when he said this, I was finally able to understand why he made such a difficult situation for me, it turned out that I was thinking that I had taken up the quota of the awakened people in El City.There are still places for the Awoken?
I don't know much about why I've never heard anyone talk about this, or why the Rryant family rarely brings up the topic of the Awakening Ritual in after-dinner conversations.But now, in the words of this professor, I clearly understand one thing, it turns out that after doing five tests, the best group of children will be evaluated, and these people will enter a large magic array, and the entire huge magic array can only provide three thousand young boys and girls with the huge amount of magic power needed to hold the magic awakening ceremony, so the previous five tests are just to screen children with better conditions and more opportunities to awaken the magic pool.I was able to get through the first three rounds with flying colors, only because the first three rounds of testers were all teachers in the Academy of Magic, and they only saw the better children who had the opportunity to awaken the magic pool, and there were no worldly injustices.Apparently in the fourth round of testing, I was already being targeted, and the so-called traditional El City natives started to take action, and they started to create some conditions for the natives of El City.He finally went on to say to me, "But even then you want to know why I'm here, so rambling on and on and on, why?"
”I shook my head very cooperatively, like a good baby standing still.The middle-aged professor straightened his somewhat emaciated chest, and gently pushed the black bow tie under his Adam's apple with his hand, the shirt on his body had been washed many times, and the neckline had been slightly yellowed, but it was still ironed very straight by him, as if he was telling me, and as if telling his beliefs: "I am procrastinating, in this limited time, I want to distract you, make you unable to think, so that you don't have the slightest chance to answer my question, I'm confident that you won't be able to answer my question, but to be on the safe side, I'm going to say this to you, and let me see how much time you have left to answer it, oh!
Twelve seconds left, oh!
Eleven, ten, nine" He looked at me with a cold face, a smug look on his face, and it only took a few seconds for him to have the right to sign a huge duck egg in the last square on the back of my ticket, so as to end the test of my five abilities.For example, if he asks me to calculate the area of a triangle, as long as he makes those values a little more complicated and makes the calculation more complicated, it will be difficult for me to calculate the real value within the specified time, but he asked me one such question.It may seem to him that this question is quite difficult, but it does not go beyond the small scope of the knowledge of the question.Obviously, he underestimated my ability, and I would be a little caught off guard when I answered the other questions, but I didn't need to think much about this question alone, because in my mind, the answer to this question soon appeared, so I watched him calmly and spit out two words while his seconds were not over: "Twelve!"
”"What?
What did you say?
”The middle-aged professor couldn't accept the fact that I had already answered the question, and he asked me with some uncertainty.I repeated to him quietly, "The twelve-sided pentagonal shape can be enclosed in an approximate circle." ”He couldn't believe that I actually answered his question, his pupils narrowed the moment his eyes widened, like a frightened cat, I shook the admission ticket in my hand in a chic manner, and said to him with a bright smile: "Professor, can you sign it for me?"
”Seeing him reluctantly write down a number on the form on the back of my ticket, he reluctantly gave me four points, and told me that I would not be able to say the answer until the last few seconds of the count!
But I don't care, after all, I've experienced more cruel than this, in my previous life, I occasionally watched the ball, and my inner world has been trained to be extremely strong.I walked out with a relaxed step, and I could feel his lips twitching slightly, and he was very unyielding to stop me, he wanted to know how I had calculated it, and it was a difficult question to say.In fact, for me, except for this question, which I can easily answer, I am not sure of answering the rest of the questions.The reason is very simple, I have a very deep memory of carving radish flowers in the memory of my previous life, and the basic skills of the original carving and vegetable case require me to hold a radish all day long and peel around, I once carved a carrot into a football when I was most bored, I don't know how many of these regular pentagons I have cut, so how can I not know the number of regular pentagons enclosed into spheres?
Walking on the boulevard of the War College, surrounded by those young boys and girls who were lucky enough to pass the five rounds of the test, their excited faces were full of excitement, we were the last three thousand people who were selected, and the rest of the children left the War College with a disappointed face, maybe someone will continue to be admitted to the War College Junior Warrior Academy tomorrow, but the door of the magician has been completely closed to them.It was already noon, the scorching sun was hanging overhead, I hid under the shade of a tree and nibbled on white bread, with a pot of water in front of me.According to the little fat man next to him: magicians have always only eaten white bread and spring water, if there is a powerful magician can also drink magic spring water or life spring water, he said that as long as he becomes a magician, he must need to meditate, only eat these light food, when meditating, can quickly enter the state!
I thought to myself, "I've never heard of this before, and I don't think there's any difference between eating a barbecue or a dry bread when you go into meditation."
For these young people, everything on campus is very new, but this is only for the vast majority of young people, there is a small number of children who are obviously not unfamiliar with the War College, this group of people seems to be those who have no worries about food and clothing, and the clothes are very beautiful, and they seem to be the children of some rich people.Just like the little fat man next to me, standing behind me when queuing, at this time arranged to have a simple lunch under the shade tree, and actually squatted under the oak tree with me, this little fat man actually after eating the bread slice in his hand, he quickly touched out an oily yellow chicken leg from his body, he took the chicken leg with some hesitation and looked at it repeatedly, and finally when the heart was handed to me, he asked with some weakness: "Hey, do you want to take a bite to taste?"
”To be continued.
