The Crystal Palace Of Heaven

Chapter 33 - Exams and duels



The full name of the magician qualification exam should be called the National Union of Qualification Examination for the Magician of the Learning Alliance.

As the name implies, since it is a unified national examination, the place can only be in the capital Elixir. The members of the exam are mainly composed of two parts. One is the graduates of several officially recognized magic schools including Nadia Central Academy of Magic, which accounts for about 70% of the quota. The other is the so-called birth of Nojiko, as long as he has the recommendation letter of the magician recognized by the alliance, he can also take the exam.

Of course, there are only so many test places, and the majority of graduates born in the Orthodox Academy accounted for the majority. Even if the remaining Noluko has completed the procedures and submitted the application, it may not be possible to take the exam of the year. There are even extreme examples of waiting for the exam qualification for ten years.

Of course, Lu Xi also belongs to the second kind. Fortunately, he has a strong backer, otherwise it will be at least the turn of the next year.

This year there are 2,000 exams, but the number of new magicians in the Learning League each year is no more than 150. You can imagine how terrifying this elimination rate is.

However, once you pass the exam, you will become a formal magician of the Learning Alliance. Not only will you be subsidized, official will be able to enjoy all kinds of privileges and adoration, but you will have a feeling of a lifetime test.

Since such a system, then someone naturally missed once, and continued the second time, and even continued to die until death, Lin Lao may just be a magic apprentice.

Lu Xi followed the crowd and walked across the Star Plaza along Nantian Cross Avenue. Only then did she see the thick and quaint metal gate at the entrance of the Academy of Olympic Law. The people around him, both old and young, have a lovely “magic apprentice” title. For example, in front of him, he is clearly a gray-haired old man, who looks a few years older than Olusello. , I accidentally thought that I sent my grandson to the exam.

Lu Xi looked at the crowd on both sides, and easily found Primula and Arantis at the gate of the academy.

Inside the gate is the Austrian Academy of Law, no one can enter except the candidates and the staff of the examination room. Therefore, Lim and Alan could only wait at the gate.

The two should also see Lu Xi in the team. Lim still nodded to Lu Xi expressionlessly, but the emerald-colored eyes also showed a concerned look, Alan smiled at Lu Xi, and compared with a gesture of cheering.

Lu Xi always felt that this scene was so similar to that of the college entrance examination in that year, so he had to give a thumbs-up to the two pretending to be chic.

As the entire group of candidates entered the palace, the quaint metal gate was slowly closed, isolating the hustle and bustle of the outside world from the repression of the dignified examination room.

Go through the square of the academy, go through the main hall, and after a few corridors, it is an indoor square with almost three football fields. There are more than two thousand sets of tables and chairs neatly arranged inside, and quill pens, ink and paper have been placed on them.

   Standing on the front podium was a man in his forties or forties who wore a robe of the Learning Alliance system. The sleeves and shoulders of the robe were embroidered with complicated patterns, and the coat of arms of three six-pointed stars was dotted in the middle.

   The six-pointed star represents the class of magicians in the League of Knowledge, and in a sense, the magic and status of the mage. If a magician encounters a mage with a higher star position than him, even if the public office in the government is higher than the other party, it is reasonable to pay respect first.

Every magic apprentice is qualified to embroider a star on his cuff or collar after becoming a formal mage. By the way, as one of the four great magisters of the Federation, Olusello’s level is five stars.

The mage on the podium should be the examiner for this exam. He watched the candidates sit in one by one, cleared his throat, and began to speak.

The square is very large, but the mage obviously uses amplification magic, so that the sound is clearly introduced into everyone’s ears. The content of the speech is naturally uninnovative. First, it extols the sages and educational celebrities of the Academic Union and the Federation. It also praises the merits of the current federal leaders. Finally, it reiterates the discipline of the examination room. “If you cheat, you will be pulled out to show the public for three months, and then do the hard work for another three months. Finally, you will be deprived of the qualification for the life-long exam.”

In fact, in such an examination room, not only are there proctors close to a hundred people, but also full of monitoring magic and traps. Cheating in this kind of place, unless you have the strength of the level of Orusello, but if you really have the strength of Orusello, you still have to cheat?

Exam papers were quickly issued. The first exam was runes. Lu Xi opened the exam papers, scanned the questions, and did it with confidence.

The prescribed time for the exam is two and a half hours, but Lu Xi completed all the test questions in only one hour. He didn’t check it again like other people did, and he didn’t have the idea of ​​getting full marks or first names anyway, so there was no need to waste time in this depressing examination room.

When Lu Xi handed in the test paper, the examiner just glanced at him, but said nothing. When he was about to leave, it happened that a candidate came over with the test paper, which should be the second one.

   It was a girl of seventeen or eighteen years, with azure blue bangs and long shawl hair. She is wearing a black robe, should be the school uniform of Nadia Central Academy of Magic, eyebrows are clear, facial features are upright, although the facial features are not top beautiful, but they have a smart and elegant atmosphere, can be regarded as an intellectual beauty.

Lu Xi ignored the other person’s surprised expression, just nodded and smiled, and then left the exam room first.

The test room is already full of people, and they should all be relatives and friends of the students. Lu Xi squeezed through the crowd, and the road behind the examination room was already full of carriages, one of which was engraved with the double-headed red dragon coat of arms of Russell. The driver saluted Lu Xi and opened the door for him.

At this time, Arantis and Primula were sitting in the carriage, with coffee tables and snacks on the cart.

   “I’m fighting hard and fighting against the sea in it, but you have a leisurely life.”

“Oh, it came out so soon, wouldn’t it be a white paper.” Arantis said.

“Relax, if someone else knows: Orussero’s disciples have to pass the qualification test in vain, wouldn’t I be ashamed to throw it to the goddess.” Lu Xi said while making one to Primula Rest assured gesture.

“I don’t think you should be like that.” Alantis shrugged, and a look of memory gradually appeared on his face. “Think about it, I also came here one by one. I remember it as if it was yesterday It seems that eight years have passed since the moment. “

  Starting to remember youth means aging, and Lu Xi is too lazy to resonate with this guy who will soon become an uncle. He Shi Shiran poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip beautifully. Then he slowly asked: “You, the chief secretary of the magnificent military secretary, accompany me as an apprentice every day. Does it really matter? Does your official business matter? “

“Huh? Didn’t I tell you? I’m on vacation these days.”

“Of course yeah. You don’t think the teacher is the secretary of the military, only me as a secretary? We are all on holiday.”

“Shift holiday?”

“Yes! Rotate every half a month, of course, I am the chief, and the workload is more. But even so, there are nearly one month of paid leave every year, and the income is also very good. Just do this For several years, it was not impossible to buy a three-bedroom apartment at Elias Square. “

“……”

“Actually, in this line, I’m a mess. The heads of other ministries and departments or the senators’ secretaries are just enough money to buy mansions and villas in second- and third-tier cities.”

“… The secretary of a politician is really good.”

“Why, you are also excited? Ha ha, then you must at least ensure that the test results are in the top few, otherwise, why should you be divided into those good units.”

“Yes, yes, a test will determine life.” Lu Xi shrugged helplessly.

Arantis groaned for a while, slowly closing his smile, and the tone suddenly became more solemn: “However, starting tomorrow, I will be busy too, and it is impossible to come to accompany you again. You must be careful yourself a little……”

“Look what you said, Elixir is the oldest, I will not get lost without you.”

“Of course not, and if I don’t come, you can continue to use the carriage,” Arantis shook his head. “I’m worried about another thing.”

“what’s up?”

“Eh, wouldn’t you forget?”

  Lu Xi tilted his head and thought about it, and finally shook his head. Arantis took a deep breath, and finally erased the black line behind his head: “Did you forget the agreement with the Vilambat kid?”

“Ah, I really don’t remember what agreement I can make with a man!”

“I mean Duid Verambart, uh, that seaweed head, did you really forget?”

“Ah.” Lu Xi tapped his palm with his right fist, and finally realized, “You said that the seaweed head wouldn’t have it. What Duid, what Vilambate, such unreasonable names, who remembers what!”

Alantis shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly: “No wonder people want to fight you.”

   “What, duel?”

“Yeah, he even handed the official duel book to the teacher and said that you have agreed. As long as you sign, then the duel will officially start, and even the law can’t control it.”

Lu Xi recalled it carefully, and finally figured out the memories of that time from a deep gully in the cerebral cortex. It seems that at that time, when he was in a coma, he did put some cruel words in front of the dog legs. To be honest, if you think about it literally, it seems that you really agreed to the other party’s duel …

“Weird, I also reported my name at the time. Why didn’t he send the duel letter to Colorful Rose Island and do it to Master Russell?”

“Oh, maybe I dare not. After all, the unreasonable name of Master Orusello spreads as far as his prestige.”

“Well, really, the teacher is really not a reasonable person … By the way, what did Master Rasell say about this duel?”

“‘ I ’m really worthy of being a disciple of Mr. Orussello, huh. ’”

“Are” haha ​​”again?”

“Yes, it’s” haha ​​”again.”

“Uh, I know there won’t be any good words, anyway, it doesn’t matter anyway.” Lu Xi thought about it, always felt that such a duel was quite boring, just preparing to refuse, but heard the prompt again.

   “I’ll put you in the lungs.” Lu Xi secretly scolded an increasingly unscrupulous system, and then said: “Brother Alan, please write back to that “Zi Cai Tou”.”

“Why, prepare to apologize? This is also a wise choice. Although he is not a thing, whether in school or in the army, he is a talent. Now he is already a two-star master, and you are still a Magicology … “

“Who said I am going to apologize?” Lu Xi glared fiercely and said in a loud voice: “Tell that seaweed head, if he wants to be made into a pickle jar so much, I will naturally fulfill him. Three days later See you in the wilderness of Seongdong on the afternoon of the 18th! “

“what?”

“Ah, what’s the matter.”

“Hey, such a big thing, you still have to think about it. You know, duel is a sacred contract passed down in ancient times. Once it is carried out, no matter what happens, even if both of you die, everyone else including the government is Can’t be dry, unless any of you admit defeat…”

“What about then? Everyone came to the door, could not escape?”

   “This is not a problem, he has two stars, and you are just an apprentice. Even if you don’t accept it, no one will laugh at you.”

“Who said no one would make a joke. Don’t forget, I am a disciple of Oulusello, the disciple of the great” Dragon Slayer “and” King of Arcana! “

“Because of such a false name, he went to the dangerlessly, do you think Master Orusello will be happy?”

“You’re wrong,” Lu Xi’s face showed a smile of confidence, “I didn’t go to the dangerous place because I was a teacher’s disciple; but because I was a teacher’s disciple, I had the confidence to win. what.”

Arantis sighed helplessly and said to Primula who had never said a word: “I said Lim, your master is so stubborn, don’t you persuade him?”

Primula was silent for a while, and then slowly said: “No matter what decision he makes, I will stand by him.”

Lu Xi couldn’t help but grin. He stretched out his hand on Lime’s shoulder, and then proudly raised his chin and nostrils towards Arantis: “See if you see it, this is the real comrade and partner between the soul and the soul that can hold the back. Envy? Envy? “

“Forget it, I’m too lazy to care about you.” Arantis spread his hands and shook his head helplessly. “However, why do we have to duel in three days?”

“Nonsense, I finished the exam on the morning of the 18th. Of course I could only go that afternoon.” Lu Xi couldn’t help but show a look of contempt.

  If someone knows that they are about to participate in a life-and-death, wealthy and high-risk activity, they might already be soft-hearted and trembling, let alone exams. However, in Lu Xi’s view, the so-called duel has the same meaning as going to the big game after the exam. I still go to the exam every day with a hundred times of enthusiasm.

  Just like this, the time entered the morning of the 18th, which was the last subject “Basic Mantra”. In full view, he walked out of the examination room again for the first time.

Lu Xi stretched out in the hallway outside the examination room and was about to leave. It happened that the second person who came out also came out.

Is the girl who met in the first exam. She pulled a face and saw Lu Xi, her expression was a little complicated.

“Oh, did you hand it in too?” Lu Xi smiled.

“Well,” the girl nodded, UU reading www.uukanshu.com seemed to be a little bit hesitant.

“My name is Lu Xi, uh, Lu Xi Berencaster, how about you?” When Olusello was Lu Xi’s upper federal hukou, because the name “Lu Xi” was not very consistent with the continent of Gabia The name habit gave him his last name. Lu Xi had no problem, anyway, the name given to herself by the mother of the kingdom of heaven is still there.

The girl hesitated for a while, and finally reported the name: “My name is Seychelle Moore.”

“Looking at you, should it be the freshman of the Central Academy of Magic?”

The girl nodded, she looked at Lu Xi, pondered, and finally asked: “I think you submit the papers so early every time, don’t you need to check?”

“Hehe ~~ Are you just a minute or two later than you?”

“It’s different,” the girl shook her head. “I just endorse it more. History and runes are basically books, so I’m doing it fast. However, you only use almost every subject. After an hour, it even includes subjects that require a lot of calculations, such as enchantment, alchemy, and engineering. You are really amazing … “

“Oh, oh, don’t say that. Actually, I don’t have to be faster than others, but, as you said, I didn’t check every door.”

   “Ah? This is a qualification exam, you don’t have to worry about…”

“Is there anything to worry about? I’m not going to take the first place anyway, just pass it.” Lu Xi waved his hand with a smile, and looked at the pocket watch. “Oh, I still have an appointment, so I’m going. Nice to meet you, goodbye. “

   Sai Xili stared blankly at landing Xi Yang’s long back, and for a long time, he suddenly gritted his teeth: “Only after? Dating? What does this guy think of the sacred qualification test?”
