Chapter 2 Entrance Test (2)
"Dang—!Dang—!..." The bell tower at the top of the college suddenly rang ten times. The scheduled exam time quietly came, and the square suddenly became quiet. Everyone gathered towards the center of the square and looked at the temporary podium in front of the college.
I saw a middle-aged man wearing a red teacher uniform with brown hair walking onto the podium, then gently waved his staff in the air, muttering words, and then a huge translucent magic array appeared in the air. Anyone who had learned a little magic knew that this was a very basic general magical sound transmission technique.
The voice of the middle-aged man reached every corner of the square clearly and brightly through magic: "Welcome to participate in this admissions test. I am Andra, the chief instructor of Fire Magic, and the examiner of your exam. Without further ado, start the test now... Fire Magic - Lieyang!"
The red staff waved again, and the color of the magic array suddenly turned red. The high temperature overflowed from the magic array instantly spread throughout the audience, and there was even a tendency to continue to rise.
For a time, a very small number of poor physical condition fell down due to heatstroke and were carried away by school doctors waiting outside the venue.
Shi Miye closed his eyes silently and focused his spirit on the magic circuit in his body. The black magic power gradually flowed and circulated in the circuit. This dark power effectively reduced the heat on the body. Although dark magic was better practiced at night, if he didn't practice now, his body wouldn't be able to stay in the high temperature for a long time.
The magic use system in this world is composed of two parts, one is mental power, and the strength of the mental power determines the size of the magic power that the magician can use, and the other part is a magic circuit, which determines the quality of the magician's magic power, that is, the power after the magic is activated. The strength of the two together determines the strength of a mage.
However, no matter where you are, under the same conditions, the younger the age of practice, the faster the progress will be.
It was only three years ago that Midnight began to practice magic. Although he lacked external conditions such as professional guidance and practiced the most difficult black magic, the large number of boring practices day after day made him, who is now fifteen years old, fill the gap in practice time with others.
There are five levels of magicians from apprentices to the highest level of magicians. Each level of upgrade means that their strength has been improved by one level. There are no more than ten magicians on the continent of Tiara. Shi Miya recalled that the last magic level assessment was more than a year ago. At that time, he obtained the qualification certificate of the junior mage with a little luck, and he can only be considered a strength among his peers.
In late summer and early autumn, it was the hot weather during the noon and the hot summer conditions brought by magic, many people couldn't hold on and left the stage halfway. In the middle, many people even foamed at the mouth and were sent to the health room. About half of the remaining people still insisted on their own.
When the bell that symbolizes the end of the high temperature test rings and everyone wants to breathe a sigh of relief, the huge ice-blue water-type magic circle has replaced the red magic circle.
"No! This rhythm, it won't..." someone exclaimed.
"That's right, that's right! This time I'll play with Teacher Pais!" A cute female voice came from the sky, and a woman who was as petite as loli was so hard to believe was a teacher was sitting on the floating staff. The light flashed at the front of the staff, and a very bitter cold air overflowed from the magic circle. Many people who could not stand the sudden temperature change could only regretfully withdraw from the exam, and the number of people decreased by one third.
Shi Miye silently adjusted his breathing, slightly adjusted the flow direction of the magic power in the magic circuit, and adjusted it to be suitable for strengthening the flow direction of the magic circuit under cold conditions. The cold air in the air continuously moistened the already negative dark magic power, repairing some of the effects of the previous high temperature. At this moment, the magic power flow rate in his body has obviously become faster. Shi Miye continued to absorb a trace of magic power in the cold air like the hot test just now and melted it into his own power as much as possible. Then, he continuously compressed and bumped in the circuit, making the magic power more purity and more refined. The impurities that cannot be absorbed are excluded from the body to form a thin film, minimizing the impact of the cold air.
This method of changing the flow of magic power and absorbing external forces to help one's magic circuit improve was explored by Shi Miya himself in his practice, and using and absorbing the power of others to temper his magic power. However, the method is not efficient, so there is no problem in dealing with this test.
Until sunset, there were only one thousand people left. After the magic circle disappeared, everyone was tired and stuck in place. Because they had not eaten for a day, the feeling of hunger suddenly surged up.
After swallowing the nutritious drinks and bread sent by the student union members in two or three, the two teachers who were in charge of the assessment just now began to speak: "Congratulations to you for passing this test. You will enter St. Glace Academy in the future. Please wait for two days to rest, and please fill out the class application form we sent. In two days, we will inform you of the reply based on your application." After that, the teacher hurriedly stepped down, and it seemed that there was something else to deal with.
