Chapter 219 Six Deans
The site where the annual test begins is located in a square on the edge of Dark Heart Academy.
It was crowded with people, densely packed with wizard apprentices.
Apprentices who are rare to see in the outside world are everywhere here.
Li He walked into the square, squeezed through the crowd, and found where he should be.
As soon as I stood still, I ran into a few familiar faces and nodded slightly as a greeting.
With a "crash", Sean, carrying a bulging backpack, squeezed in from the side with some difficulty. His eyes widened slightly, as if he was a little excited. He pointed at the three silver lines on Li He's chest and couldn't help but say: " You...when were you promoted?"
"Just recently." Li He said. After finishing preparations yesterday, I took the time to go to the college level assessment place and confirm my level.
"But, when Teacher Gauss convened the meeting before, you were only a second-level wizard apprentice, right? In just two days, you became a third-level wizard apprentice? Is it so easy to advance to the next level now?" Sean's expression was a little confusing, and he endured I can't help but think of my previous experiences.
"Maybe it's luck." Li He said.
"No, it's because you have great talent." Sean said sourly, not hiding his jealous tone at all, "You were successfully promoted to a third-level wizard apprentice in just a few days, which shows that you have encountered almost no bottlenecks and only have the most talented people. Only the best people can do it, such as Senior Hegeway. Or, you are a bloodline person, born with magical abilities, with a higher starting point than others, and a smoother path to growth."
In fact, he was neither of them, he had to use force to break through... Li He said in his heart, but did not explain it.
"I have always been the worst among Mr. Gauss's students. I thought that after having you, I would be able to break away from this identity, but I didn't expect that it wouldn't work." Sean sighed, shook his head, and retracted.
He retracted halfway, thought of something, stopped, blinked and asked Li He: "By the way, do you want to think about it again about the mutual help that Senior Zhu Li said before? If you are willing, I will go Talk to her. You are now a third-level wizard apprentice, which is different from before. What I told Senior Sister Zhu Li..."
"You don't need to tell me, I've already seen it." Julie's voice sounded from the side, interrupting Sean's words.
The newly appeared Zhu Li had a bit of surprise in her eyes. She looked at Li He and said, "I admit, I underestimated you a little. I thought you were very arrogant before, but considering your speed of cultivation, I am afraid that your talent is not as good as the most among us." The outstanding senior Hegeway is almost the same, with arrogant qualifications.
But having said that, it is indeed amazing that you were promoted to the third level wizard apprentice so quickly, but the promotion time is short, and there is no time to improve your strength. The third level wizard apprentice has not mastered many special methods. In fact, it is only better than the original second level wizard. The apprentice is just a little stronger. I now seriously invite you to join our team. It will definitely be helpful to you during the annual test. "
"Well..." Li He's expression was the same as when he faced Zhu Li's proposal before. He pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Let me think about it again." He refused with a gentle attitude.
Zhu Li's expression froze slightly, she looked at Li He and let out a breath, and said: "Okay, you can contact me whenever you think about it. You can take this."
As she spoke, Zhu Li took out a finger-sized crystal from her clothes and threw it to Li He. There were silver-gray spots inside, emitting fluorescence, like stars in the night sky.
"You should know this, right?"
"Star Searching Stone." Li He replied loudly.
I have read many books and materials, and I am very familiar with this somewhat unpopular item.
Star-finding stones are usually a pair of two pieces. After activating the star-finding stone, the other half will sense it. As long as it is activated at the same time, the approximate location of both parties will be known.
"It's good to know." Zhu Li nodded and said, "After entering the Pale Forest of the annual test, we don't know where we are. You should think about it and just use the Star Search Stone to find me."
"Okay." Li He nodded and said nothing more.
Julie said no more nonsense and pulled Sean to the side to stop.
For a moment, Julie seemed to be talking to herself, and whispered: "He won't look for us."
"Huh?" Sean was stunned, glanced at Julie, thought for a moment, and nodded lightly, "He won't."
"What an irritating guy."
"Forehead……"
…
not far away.
Aya Emily saw Li He's figure and was about to squeeze through to say hello, but then she saw three silver lines on Li He's chest.
Her steps suddenly became heavier, and she stopped in place. She glanced at the robe she had just changed and looked at the two silver lines on her chest. She suddenly felt that the gap between her and the other party had not decreased, but was getting bigger and bigger.
She pursed her lips and lowered her head.
…
Many people around him noticed the appearance of Li He, a third-level wizard apprentice wearing a double silver oak leaf dark heart medal. They were a little surprised, but most of them glanced at him and looked away, not paying much attention. Firstly, I don’t know Li He, who is low-key, and secondly, the annual test is the most important thing at the moment.
At this time, on the edge of the square, on a high platform built against a vertical stone wall, the upper floors of the college appeared.
Everyone immediately looked over.
A strong wind blew by, and the second dean Gauss appeared.
Then there was a ball of flame, generated out of thin air, and the third dean, Bi Kedong, appeared.
Lightning flashed, and the fourth dean Faulkners appeared.
Raindrops fell, and the fifth dean Cotton appeared.
Dust gathered, and the sixth dean Taylor appeared.
Yellow sand formed, and the seventh dean Dion appeared.
In addition, Montesquieu, Ducas, Rudy, Fuan... a group of more powerful wizard teachers in the academy also appeared on the podium.
The presence of the six deans and many wizards shows that the Dark Heart Academy attaches great importance to the annual test.
Basically, except for the first dean, all the senior officials have appeared. And the first dean, it is said that he has not appeared since the academy war more than ten years ago, and his whereabouts have almost become a mystery.
All the deans and wizards who appeared on the podium were basically wearing heavy robes and had serious expressions.
Gauss glanced at the third dean Bi Kedong next to him, nodded slightly, then looked at the students below the stage and spoke majestically.
"Wizard apprentices of Dark Heart Academy, I'm glad to see you gathered here. Next, you should be very clear about what to do, that is, the annual test. Some things that need attention have been told to you through various channels in the academy before. But here, I still want to emphasize three points."
"First, the annual test is to train you, not to kill you. There are dangers in it, but you are also given a means to escape. In order to get good grades, you can persist more, and for your own safety, you need to give up in time. You need to grasp the degree of this."
"Second, the top 100 in the score will be rewarded, the top 30 will have generous rewards, and the top 10 will have special rewards and can be exchanged for a chance to use the Apprentice Gate. This requires you to work hard to earn points during the test. You can earn points from the demonized creatures in the test area, from your competitors, or through some special methods in the test area. The test time is not fixed. It will be announced to end when it reaches a certain level. It may be three days or five days, so you need to do your best at the beginning."
Two consecutive updates, two chapters at a time, I wish you all a happy Chinese Valentine's Day!
