Chapter 121 Everything is in the plan
The next morning, Su Wen arrived at the examination site half an hour in advance.
Since there is no need to rely on the magic barrier in St. Peter's Square, this assessment is held in a special trial field deep in the academy.
This is an indoor square located on the lakeside. It is very spacious and is neatly placed with a large number of testing equipment. They look spotless due to cleaning the magic circle. Many magicians wearing standard robes walk around the venue. They are the staff of the institute who maintain order in the examination room and conduct assessments. Candidates like Su Wen gather in the open space outside the venue to wait.
Although there were only two thousand people, less than a quarter of the St. Peter's Square yesterday morning, it looked much more crowded.
The entrance examination has reached the last major stage, but it is actually far from over. It is better to say that it has just begun, because except for the final two real and practical assessments like an annual event, everything before is done to screen and lay the foundation.
After the audition assessment in St. Peter's Grand Plaza, more than 10,000 people became 2,400, and about 500 to 1,000 people were beaten in the second written test, but before the results were released, these people might not know their destiny; the third game, which Su Wen now participated in, tested real basic skills, so not many people were beaten, and at most no more than 300 people in previous years; as for the actual magic doll battle in the fourth game, nearly 1,000 people were usually beaten. In this way, only one-twenty of the first pass the screening, and these about 500 people were the winners who laughed the last, enough to be qualified to study in St. Peter's Magic Academy, and were allowed to participate in the next two final assessments to demonstrate their abilities.
St. Peter's College encourages competition. Even if the remaining 500 people can enter the college in the end, they are of high quality. Most of the elites and geniuses from all over the country are unruly. It is naturally a good thing to let them recognize themselves and others in the entrance assessment.
The assessment conducted this morning was a low-ring magic test. He needed to release at least three second-ring spells in front of the invigilator, and at least two were evaluated as qualified to pass successfully. This assessment also does not allow any external objects, so Su Wen could not switch magic with the Book of Elements, but his practice of magic switching these days was actually prepared for this level.
The Book of Elements is an auxiliary device after all. If Su Wen's left arm is compared to the legs of a born baby, its function is to help him learn to walk. Through its elemental infusion, Su Wen can understand the method of drawing elements from magic energy. Although this cannot change the fact that he cannot perceive elements at all, he only needs to do it according to the script and imitate it. In the end, he can reach the level of being able to freely separate elements even without the help of the Book of Elements. This is incredible. The more Su Wen practices, the more shocked he is, because he seems to have really perceived magic. Although as Ptolemy said, this magic is actually an illusion of nothingness, in a sense, it makes Su Wen feel that it is not just an illusion.
Half a month later, Su Wen has been able to initially control his left arm. At least he would not only spray magic energy like he was urinating according to the established procedure, and then passively transformed into magic. He could use his left arm to switch elements through his feelings, or even switch different ways of using the same element. Simply put, Su Wen manipulated his arm, and his arm controlled the real magic. He was still the Su Wen who knew nothing about elements. Ptolemy did not intend to break this insurmountable black box for him, but expressed the element to the arm in some way, and then let Su Wen "see" it through his arm and interfere. Although the interference is still as clumsy as learning to learn from Handan, everything is just beginning.
This kind of thing is simple, but Su Wen knew that what is in his arm now may have devoted the lifelong efforts of this great magician. If he regards it as a magic prop, what amazing value will it reach? Su Wen couldn't imagine. But unfortunately, Su Wen lost the appraisal technique, but it ended up sinking into the sea. It seems that the system does not recognize it...
In short, this assessment is an acceptance for Su Wen. If it weren't for this kind of oppressive feeling of racing against time, he might not have completed basic control of his left arm in just half a month.
In the crowd, Su Wen saw Joey rushing around again. His body under his apprentice robe was a little thin, so it was a little difficult to do such a thing, but he looked quite anxious.
Su Wen waved to him.
"Brother Su Wen, it turns out you are here!"
"Good morning, are you looking for something?"
"Of course it's you!"
"Huh, what's the matter?"
Joey was very excited: "Brother Su Wen, if nothing unexpected happens, I should have passed this written test. There is no problem with the next low-ring magic test and the actual combat of magic puppets. In other words, it is almost a foregone conclusion that I entered St. Peter's Academy. I will wait for the comprehensive results to come out in three days and even I am ready for the celebration banquet."
"Don't set up flags so early, I have a lot of lessons from it!"
"Brother Su Wen, what did you say?"
"It's nothing, just pretend you heard it wrong, I wish you good luck in any case."
"Well, when it comes to the celebration banquet, Brother Su Wen, you must come." Joey continued, "I made an agreement with a few of my friends who came to take the exam together. No matter how old they are, they will attend the celebration banquet. They are all friends I met at Trides Magic Academy, and they are all good people. Yesterday I went back and told them that I encountered your affairs. They all said that you are welcome to come together. You can get to know each other at that time. Maybe they will be classmates in the same grade in the future."
"This...isn't it?"
Su Wen was not interested in such things, not to mention that Joey had only known his "friend" for a day, and with his poor reputation in Trides, there was no need to go there. Moreover, Su Wen was also a little doubtful about the "welcome" of those people Joey mentioned. He was a plague god who was angry and resentful in Trides.
"Uh, okay, I actually guessed that Brother Su Wen would refuse." Joey seemed a little disappointed, but he acted quite appropriately, "But it doesn't matter, the days after school starts are still long."
Half an hour passed quickly and the third screening began.
In order to ensure efficiency, according to the admission ticket number, 2,400 people were divided into 24 groups, and Su Wen and Joey separated early. What surprised Su Wen was that after queuing for about an hour, it was finally his turn. He suddenly realized that the invigilator was the female magician who looked good yesterday. The other party seemed to have some impression of him, but everything was still done step by step.
"Sir Su Wen, please release three different types of second-ring universal elemental magic in succession. If it is the two special magics of "Micro Beam" and "Sand Condensation Technique", there will be corresponding bonuses when rating."
Su Wen nodded, and did not consider the second half of the sentence, but released the "Fire Tongue", "Water Dragon Technique" and "Wind Shield Technique". Among the few second-ring magic, these three magics are the most representative of each system, and the use of elements is the simplest and most direct. They are the basic spells that any formal magician can master.
When the wind shield on the test field gradually dissipated, Su Wen heard the result he wanted.
“Pass the assessment.”
But then, the female magician smiled, as if interested: "Actually, your score can be higher. Are you planning to retain your strength for the afternoon magic doll assessment?"
Su Wen felt that this person was a little bit overly responsible.
“It’s enough to pass.”
He said with a smile.
Next, as long as the afternoon's unlimited practical assessment is solved, all his admission exams will be over. The last two items are the "wild survival combat capability assessment" and the competition assessment in the form of a ring match. This additional project that seems to be specially set for the limelight is the real highlight. It is a rare opportunity for any genius who wants to become famous, but Su Wen has no interest. Although he is still forced to participate, at most he can make a soy sauce - at least that's what he is planning at the moment.
The food at noon was still rich, and Su Wen used to touch her head to maintain Liticia's favorability.
Then, he went to participate in the pressure-free final battle. The hard preparations for more than ten days have been successfully accepted in the second and third assessments, so this practical assessment is like relaxation for him.
In the same test field, it is divided into single rooms surrounded by magic barriers, and the battle between magic apprentices and magic puppets will be held here.
Magic puppets are a prop that is commonly used as practical testing. Although they cannot become weapons on the battlefield due to many restrictions, they are the best for assessment and trial. They are safe and efficient, not afraid of injury, and their difficulty can be adjusted and regulated. Therefore, since its debut, almost all practical testing of Magic Academy has been completed by Magic puppets.
The magic dolls prepared for the apprentices have relatively good comprehensive strength. They not only have the elemental energy of a junior magician, but also have the level of a junior knight. Su Wen once saw similar dolls on the training ground of the magic boat - yes, it was one of the things that Alex had tortured because of the trouble. According to the information obtained by Su Wen, magic dolls of this strength are not likely to win by hand only by hand, but if they add the magic cooperation of their left hand, it is easy to get it.
Therefore, after a simple test to confirm that the information was correct, Su Wen just waved twice and avoided the three-ring magic fire rushing technique that was flying all over the test field of the magic doll. He came to its back sideways, and then slapped his left hand with a flame tongue on the doll's bare back. Although due to the limitations of his arms, he could only release the second-ring spell at the highest point, but because he was determined to have hit the fatal key, the doll quickly fell down with a red light.
Complete the task successfully.
Everything is within Su Wen's plan, and he will review it seriously and down-to-earth, without being greedy or careless. Coupled with the plug-in of Ptolemy's mentor, even the most difficult admission assessment of St. Peter's College, which is the most difficult in the entire Doron Empire, is just that.
In the next month, you will be able to spend a lot of time doing what you want to do.
Since Su Wen felt that solving Liticia's worries was an urgent task, there was no need to wait until the additional assessment was over, so when the half-elf maid was cleaning dishes in the kitchen, he quietly poured Xiao Shi into the bathtub.
Although this slime was not fully trusted by Su Wen, he had never done bad things except for being malicious and cute, but helped him a lot. In addition, he still remembered the experience in Hongfeng Town, so when Su Wen felt that it was difficult to understand Liticia's thoughts, he finally remembered this cheap daughter who had forgotten even cleaner some time ago.
Chapter completed!
