my age of magic

Chapter 235 35. The Darkness Under the Rules
Walking on the boulevard of Zhanzheng College, I was surrounded by some young boys and girls who passed five rounds of tests just like me. Each of them had excited expressions on their faces, because it showed that we were far from the real world. The magician's apprentice has taken another big step forward.We boys and girls stand out from nearly [-] kids our age in El City, so we are lucky.

Being able to become a magician is almost the dream of all the children of the Green Empire, because as long as they become a magician, they will directly jump into the ranks of nobles. For those nobles who have some privileges, everyone yearns for it.The nobles want to keep their glory and try to pass it on to their descendants, while the commoners try hard to become nobles, but in today's Grimm Empire, a powerful warrior can only become a knight of glory or It is a guardian knight, and it is difficult to be promoted to a noble baron without special achievements, unless the warrior can make outstanding military honors on the battlefield, but that is very difficult.

Therefore, magicians are born nobles, which is recognized by the royal family of the Green Empire.

Many ordinary teenagers flushed with excitement because they successfully passed the test, and their spirits began to be constantly excited. Sometimes, I think I should also behave as excited as them, but obviously I can't get excited .

I spent the next two rounds of tests very calmly, one of which was the test of mental power, which was obviously beyond my expectations, because mental power has always been my most boastful place, the old Kuru once said that I His mental strength should be at least three times that of an ordinary adult, but when he said this, it was still five years ago.And now I feel that my spiritual strength should be at least forty or more, but I walked up to the test magic crystal with trepidation and put my hand on it carefully, but I just slowly lit up the whole crystal and turned it on. He didn't explode the crystal ball as the old Kuru said, nor did he make the crystal ball brighter because of his super high spiritual power.But all in all, it's not bad, the light is enough, and it can fill in the form on the back of my admission ticket with a heavy stroke.

But the test examiner's face was as cold as ice. I swear I haven't seen him anywhere before, or did he mistakenly think that I beat his child?He looked at me like a little wolf in a flock of sheep. He was very dissatisfied and signed four points for me, and waved me impatiently to let me pass quickly.

This incident calmed down my swollen heart quickly, and I didn't think about why the examiner had a cold face.I never thought that the crystal ball I touched just had such an ordinary brightness.

I just sighed sincerely in my heart, feeling that these one-in-a-million children around me have high spiritual power, and I am just the most ordinary member of these people.I was thinking: In fact, there may be nothing worth showing off in the eyes of others. Thinking about it this way, on the contrary, at this moment, I became calmer.

The fifth test is the most difficult for me to understand. I have experienced the most basic detection and testing of abilities such as magic perception, magic resistance, magic affinity, and spiritual power. These are all necessary to be a magician. For those of us who have not yet awakened the magic pool, it is extremely weak, but it is also a must.

But the examiner of the fifth test is not a magician, because I can't feel any fluctuation of magic power in him. On the contrary, I think he is more likely to be an ordinary person, but even if he is simple Standing in the same place, in the aura around him, you can still smell the smell of books. Such a person can only be said to be a professor, and he always observes us calmly with a critical eye. .

When I had face-to-face contact with this professor, he had even begun to become numb. Even though there are ten professors like this in the entire Zhanzheng College testing us children at the same time, nearly 3000 teenagers were assigned, and almost everyone At least [-] people must be met, just in this morning.I was the last group of people, because this is my fifth item, so when I walked up to this professor, he just asked me very mechanically: how many regular pentagons can surround into a ball?

Nima!Isn't this a geometric arithmetic problem?At this moment, I have an urge to run away. Such a difficult geometry problem is basically a super difficult problem for a child like me who has never been to school.In the city of El, if a child before the age of 12 can easily calculate addition and subtraction within [-], he is already very good, but under such circumstances, the professor with a dead face in front of him , asked such a question to me, it made me feel that the sky was gray, what is this?I think that if he asked every child the same question, there would never be more than one slap in the face of the child who would be able to answer this question.But I can clearly see that the child in front of me has such a relaxed expression when he passes by this professor, but am I any different?

I looked suspiciously at the professor who had no expression on his face, and his face was a little astonished.

And at this moment, he stood there high and looked at me with lowered eyelids as if scanning an ant. There was a smug smile on the corner of his mouth. He was like a brave knight. The expression is more like doing a good thing that makes people applaud, and in his eyes, it is more like a thief.

Of course I was puzzled, and I originally thought that the arrogant man would not talk to me, it was enough for him to just live in his own world.But I didn't think about it for more than five seconds, and I saw that he couldn't help but leaned down and leaned into my ear and said, "If I don't tell you the truth, I might suffocate myself to death. It is necessary to share with you!"

I continue to be a little confused so, I smell a cheap perfume on him.

He continued to say to me: "I have full evidence to prove that you are not a child of El City, you are just a homeless person, you have only lived in El City for five years, you have not Bring any help to El City, on the contrary you are like a moth, sucking the blood of El City, you occupy the position of an important member of a very privileged family, which will be reversed There will be a The happy life of the poor children in El City has been deprived by you, but now you still have to participate in the awakening ceremony in El City. You have to occupy one of the positions and quotas of three thousand awakeners, as the original residents of El City I, no matter what, will not let you get what you want easily..."

In short, after he said this, I finally understood why he made things difficult for me. It turned out that he suspected that I had taken up the quota of Awakened in El City.Are there still places for the Awakened?Why I have never heard anyone mention these, or few people in the Lyant family will bring up the topic of the awakening ceremony during the after-dinner chat, so I know very little about this aspect.

But now, I clearly understand one thing from the professor's words. It turns out that after completing the five tests, the best group of children will be evaluated, and these people will enter a large magic circle. A huge magic circle can only provide [-] boys and girls with the huge amount of magic power needed to hold the magic awakening ceremony, so the previous five tests are only for children with better screening conditions and more opportunities to awaken the magic pool .

I was able to pass the first three rounds with excellent results only because the testers in the first three rounds were all teachers from the Magic Academy. fair thing.Apparently during the fourth round of testing, I had already been targeted, and those so-called traditional El City aboriginal residents started to act, and they began to create some conditions for those native El City children.

He finally went on to say to me, "But... even so... you want to know why I'm here, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah."

Like an obedient baby standing there blankly, I shook my head very cooperatively.

The middle-aged professor straightened his thin chest, and gently pushed the black tie under his Adam's apple. The shirt on his body had been washed many times, and the neckline was slightly yellowed, but he still ironed it. It was very straight, he seemed to be telling me, and he seemed to be expressing his belief: "I am procrastinating. In this limited time, I want to distract you, so that you can't think, so that you can't think about it." With the slightest chance, you can answer my question. Although I am very confident that you will not be able to answer my question at all, but just to be on the safe side, I still want to tell you these words... Well, let me see See how much time you have left to answer this question, oh! There are still 12 seconds, oh! Eleven, ten, nine..."

He looked at me with a cold face, with a smug expression on his face. In just a few seconds, he has the right to exaggerately sign a huge duck egg in the last grid on the back of my admission ticket. To conclude my test of the five abilities.

In fact, he only needs to ask one other question, even if it is not so difficult, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to answer it, such as asking me to calculate the area of ​​a triangle, as long as he makes those values ​​a little more complicated, making the calculation more complicated , It is also difficult for me to calculate the real value within the specified time, but he just asked me such a question.

Perhaps in his eyes, this question is quite difficult, but it does not exceed the small scope of knowledge of the question asked.

Obviously he underestimated my ability, and I would be a little caught off guard when answering other questions, but I don't need to think too much about this question, because the answer to this question appeared in my mind soon, So when his counting seconds were not over, I looked at him calmly and said two words: "Twelve!"

"What? What did you say?" The middle-aged professor couldn't accept the fact that I had already answered this question for the first time, so he asked me with some uncertainty.

I quietly repeated to him: "A regular pentagon with twelve sides can form an approximate circle."

He couldn't believe that I answered his question. His pupils shrank instantly when his eyes widened, like a frightened cat. I shook the admission ticket in my hand smartly, and smiled brightly at him. Said: "Professor, can you sign it for me?"

Seeing him grudgingly write a number on the form on the back of my admission ticket with a livid face, he reluctantly gave me four points, and the reason he told me was: I was counting down the last few seconds Only then can you tell the answer!But I don't care. After all, I have experienced more cruel than this. In my previous life, I occasionally watched the ball, and my inner world has been trained to be extremely powerful.

I walked out with ease, and I could feel his lips trembling slightly, he told me to stop unyieldingly, he wanted to know how I calculated it, this question is actually quite difficult to say.In fact, for me, except for this aspect of the question, which I can easily answer, I am not sure to answer the rest of the questions.

The reason is simple. I have a very deep memory of carving radish flowers in my previous life, and the basic skills of carving and cooking tables at the beginning required me to hold a radish all day long and peel it off. When I was most bored, Carved a carrot into a football, I don’t know how many regular pentagons have been cut, so how can I not know the number of regular pentagons to form a sphere?

Walking on the boulevard of Zhanzheng College, surrounded by those boys and girls who were lucky enough to pass the five rounds of tests, their excited faces were full of excitement. We were the last 3000 people selected, and the rest of the children were full of disappointment. Leaving the Zhanzheng Academy, maybe someone will continue to be admitted to the Junior Warrior Academy of the Zhanzheng Academy tomorrow, but the door of magicians has been completely closed to them.

It was already noon, and the scorching sun was hanging above my head. I hid under the shade of a tree and ate white bread. There was a pot of water in front of me. This was our lunch, which was simple and messy.According to the little fat man beside him: Magicians have always only eaten white bread and clear spring water. If a powerful magician can drink magic spring water or life spring water, he said that as long as he becomes a magician, he must Meditation is needed, and only by eating these light foods can you quickly enter the state when meditating!I thought to myself: How come I've never heard that, and I don't think eating roast meat or eating dry bread makes any difference when entering meditation.

For these young people, everything on campus is very new, but this is only for the vast majority of young people. A small number of children are obviously not unfamiliar with Zhanzheng College. They were the children of rich people who had no worries about food and clothing, and had exquisite clothes.Just like the little fat man next to me, who stood behind me when I was queuing. At this time, I arranged to have a simple lunch under the shade tree, and he squatted under the oak tree with me. After picking up a piece of bread, he quickly took out an oily yellow drumstick from his body. He hesitated holding the drumstick and looked at it twice. At the end, he handed it to me with a heartbroken heart, and asked with a guilty conscience: "Hey, would you like to have a bite?"
