Great Nobleman

Chapter 18 Awareness
In the simulated space, there are several discarded "magic circle base plates" piled up in the corner of the table in front of Brand.

Although when he saw the content of the exam questions at the beginning, Brand thought it was not a big problem.

But after all, he is not a drawing professional, and he doesn't have the ability to draw circles and squares casually.

In fact, after operating it with his hands, he realized that drawing this thing was a little more difficult than he had imagined.

But in general, the problem is not too big.

At least the base of the circle drawn so far doesn't require a lot of deep drawing skills.

As long as you don't bend too much when you should draw straight lines, and try to be as smooth as possible when you should draw curves, there are no obvious sharp corners.

The main difficulty is that there are too many and complicated lines to draw.

It is easy to cross between lines if you are not careful.

In addition, it is very troublesome to dip the "pigment" with a brush, and the ink always breaks when drawing long lines.

As a novice who has never used a paintbrush, Brand felt very uncomfortable.

After scrapping many "answer sheets", Brand barely drew the large frame of the magic circle base.

Thinking that some of the lines will be sprinkled with various "magic powders" that change the flow rate of magic power in the future, and the blank circles still lack the corresponding runes of numbers [-] to [-], Brand feels a headache big.

"Anyway, it's still early, why don't I have something to eat first?"

Perhaps it took a lot of energy to practice drawing the magic circle base plate. Although Brand had eaten a lot of food in the grand banquet hall, he still felt a little hungry at this time.

……

In the grand banquet hall, the atmosphere on Professor Morian's side was a bit dignified.

After detailed questioning of Anna, Professor Morian and all the tutors agreed that a "mysterious person" had secretly taken Brand away.

They also had some guesses about its purpose.

Because the entire grand banquet hall is in the elemental domain of the dean.

It is impossible for the behavior of the "mysterious man" in this grand banquet hall to hide from the perception of the dean.

Unless he has a powerful strength far beyond the head of the academy.

But that is an almost impossible thing.

You must know that the head of the academy of the Kaya Empire is not an ordinary mage, he is a great magister at the top of the mage class.

Let's not talk about what kind of person can far surpass the dean in strength, even if there is such a person, what is his purpose of taking Brand away?
Brand is just the second son of a viscount and a reserve mage apprentice, so it's not worth such a big man to attack him!

Even if he looks a little handsome...

"You don't think someone took Brand away out of jealousy because he was so handsome?"

"Impossible! If someone is jealous of Brand, just kill him. Why take him away? I think someone has taken a fancy to Brand's beauty, so I plan to tie him back to be my husband!"

"It makes sense! In fact, I have thought about it too."

"Damn! I should have done it earlier, but now it's a step too late!"

"That's right! If I knew I was ambushing outside the banquet hall, I would have taken Brand away when he came to the banquet!"

Listening to the increasingly strange topics discussed by the female tutors, Professor Morian couldn't help but support his forehead.

He really couldn't understand what kind of pornographic waste these "superficial" female mages were pretending to be?
Brand is still alive and dead!Can't you be more serious at this time!

Fortunately, in addition to the female tutors present, there were also a few reliable male tutors of runes and magic circles.

They put forward a more reasonable guess about Brand being taken away by the "mysterious man".

"There is no need to consider that a mysterious person hid the dean's elemental field. It is an extremely low probability. I think the dean must have known about Brand being taken away, and even secretly acquiesced."

"You're right, I completely agree with your point of view. Besides, the purpose of the mysterious man is actually easy to guess. We gathered here to accept Brand as an apprentice. When Brand is about to meet with us Taking him away when we met, isn't that just to prevent this from happening?"

"So there is no doubt that the mysterious man wants to take Brand as an apprentice before us!"

A few reliable male mentors deduced the truth of the matter in a few words.

Their deduction was immediately recognized and supported by all the ladies.

Then, all the instructors were filled with righteous indignation for the eccentric behavior of the head of the school!
"Accepting apprentices is a fair competition! Everyone depends on their abilities! The head of the academy went too far this time!"

"Let's go! Let's go to the head of the school for an explanation! Let's see who is so unruly!"

So, at the instigation of some courageous tutors, a group of tutors walked aggressively in the direction of the academy leaders.

At the same time, by the Moon Lake, Dean Andrew's face suddenly changed, and he said to the purple-haired woman named Celine beside him:

"Little Celine, they are coming towards me, and some old guys will inevitably follow the trail to find them. I will take this clone back first."

After the dean finished speaking, his figure quickly distorted and disappeared.

When the dean left, Celine frowned unconsciously as she looked at Brand, who was still contemplative and motionless on the other side.

"Why hasn't this little guy started yet? It's not because he's dissatisfied with my arrangement, he's going to hand in a blank paper, right?"

Celine felt a little uneasy in her heart.

But now that the method of testing Brand has been determined, she is not going to show up to ask.

Even if Brand decides to hand in a blank paper, she will respect his choice and wait quietly until the end of time.

In the simulated world, Brand still didn't give himself extra food in the end.

The main reason is that when drawing runes later, you need to drink the refreshment potion that restores your mental power, so it is not appropriate to eat too much now.

After many attempts, Brand actually successfully drew the base board of the rune magic circle several times.

However, because the probability of success is relatively low, the lines on the base of the magic circle are also a little crooked and hard to see.

Brand, who has always liked the pursuit of refinement and luxury, can't accept such "defective" works.

So he practiced many times.

After the success rate was raised to a certain level by him, and the base of the magic circle he drew could barely catch the eye, Brand was finally ready to start answering the questions.

Moon Lake.

Brand woke up from meditation.

First, he looked at the corner of the table, the hourglass with about half of the sand left.

He just picked up the paintbrush and slowly began to draw the base of the magic circle.

There is still plenty of time.

Brand's heart was very peaceful.

On the other side of the lake, Celine, who had been waiting a little anxiously, finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Brand start answering the questions.

Restricted by the threat of the dean to "reduce resources", Celine has actually secretly decided that as long as Brand's performance is not too ugly, she will accept Brand as a disciple.

But if Brand refuses to cooperate, don't answer the question.

Then she wouldn't be able to accept Brand smoothly.

Twisted melons are not sweet, and there are a group of hungry mentors watching outside.

If she really missed Brand, who was said to be a rare "genius" in drawing runes, she really didn't have the confidence to train a rune magician who could pass the test within two years.
