Chapter 2281 An Unexpected Person
Two consecutive lightning bolts greatly dampened the enthusiasm of young wizards to discuss the "Wand" list.
Until the end of the alchemy class, the three wizards were as well-behaved as chickens. They carefully reviewed Professor Tesla's lecture notes and deduced complicated alchemical formulas on the draft paper.
Until after class.
Most of the people in the classroom had left. When Zheng Qing raised his head and shook his sore neck, he happened to see the witch in the first row walking out with classmate Li Meng.
His mind moved slightly, and he poked the fat wizard in front of him with the brush stick.
"We won't talk about the Major Arcana anymore," the young public-funded student first set the tone of the conversation and drew a red line for everyone: "Is there any change in the Minor Arcana this year?"
Fatty Xin turned sideways with great effort.
"Little Arcana?"
He took out the crumpled parchment from his arms, glanced at it, and muttered: "Well, there are two more interesting ones... One is Alpha's Andrew Taylor, who entered the Pentacle sequence and was directly selected. Becoming a 'Knight', I guess this has a lot to do with his performance during the Winter Hunt. The other one is Nicholas... He entered the Scepter, Sequence Ten."
Most of the names entering "Magic Wand" are traceable and will basically be distributed according to the ratio of 1-4 outstanding students in each grade. After the start of school in September every year, after half a year of observation and assessment, "Magic Wand" will select some first-year students to enter the Minor Arcana at the end of the first semester, and at the same time remove some senior students who are about to graduate from the list.
This almost rotation of lineage is like a precise gear, one tooth interlocking with the other. There are very few wizards who are not included in the Arcana list in the first grade, but are suddenly inserted into the list in the second grade or higher. .
This year, the new version of the Minor Arcana list makes two exceptions in a row.
Although Zheng Qing was slightly surprised that Andrew Taylor was able to enter the Star Coin sequence, it makes sense if he thinks about it carefully. Just as the fat man analyzed, the little wolf cub of the Taylor family received high praise from the Alpha Academy for promptly withdrawing his large hunting team to a safe area during the winter hunting, and already possesses the "Cunning Wolf" 's title, coupled with the fact that he came from a noble family but had a close relationship with the new Augustus, has become a link between the conservatives and the radicals of Alpha.
It is not difficult to understand why "The Wand" has improved its evaluation of him.
But Nicholas's ability to enter the 'Scepter' was truly beyond Zheng Qing's expectations.
In recent years, the teaching performance of Jiuyou College has exploded, and the number of students has also improved a lot. Some children of wizard families who were originally scheduled to enter Alpha have been arranged by their families to enter Jiuyou College, so that in recent years, the competition for the 'Scepter' sequence has The intensity is obviously greater than that of several other colleges.
Just like Tianwen Class 08-1, as the key class of Jiuyou College's Class 08, it included all the candidates from Jiuyou College who entered the Minor Arcana last year. Even so, there were only three people, Liu Feifei, Jiang Yu and Xiao Xiao.
And many people who failed to enter the 'Scepter' - such as Matthew Cullen, Zhang Jixin, Downton, and even Fatty Xin, are not inferior to Jiang Yu in terms of family background and ability. That is to say, Jiuyou College pays more attention to academic performance, so Jiang Yucai, who is ranked high, has an advantage.
In contrast, Nicholas's more well-known 'achievement' is that he repeated a grade for three consecutive years, almost breaking the worst record of First University in a century. Not to mention that after he removed his werewolf bloodline, he has become a "Northern District Wizard" who must rely on curse seals to cast spells.
Even if the hunting team he formed at the most recent school hunting party reached the finals - there are ten captains who can lead the hunting team to the finals, not everyone can be included in the Minor Arcana list - let alone the results of the marginal hunting team. There is also a bit of trickery involved.
From any point of view, it is impossible for him to make the list of "Wand".
"...the development of modern magical theory does not mean that classical magic is reduced to an archaic 'relic'. This was the view of E. Bee Taylor in the 1870s and the view of many scholars in theorizing about magic. There is a vague consensus dominated by this, but this understanding does mean that classical magic is being forced to adapt to a new worldview and transform into a 'new' modern' form that is more in line with historical trends..."
Zhang Jixin was holding a thick handbook of "Occult Notes" and reciting hypnotic content. His voice was like talking in a dream. If he hadn't seen his eyes wide open, Zheng Qing would have suspected that he had fallen asleep.
"Are you sure it's right?"
When the young public-funded student said this, he carefully glanced at another corner of the classroom. When he saw that Nicholas was not there, he was slightly relieved, and his tone was a bit incredible: "If you say Downton or Elder... Even if you make the list of "Magic Wand", I won't be that surprised!"
The red-faced wizard who was reviewing his homework next to him didn't seem to hear the discussion, but his voice became lower and lower.
Fatty Xin, on the other hand, was a little dissatisfied after hearing Zheng Qing's comments.
"What does 'even' mean?"
His chubby face wrinkled up, and his tone was a bit displeased: "My grades are much better than the elders, he is the 'even'... But you heard it right, it is indeed Nicholas who entered the 'Scepter' , even though it was the last number in the sequence. Not to mention 伱, it shocked me at the time. I compared it many times, and it was confirmed. "
"Actually, this is not surprising at all."
Dr. Xiao Da, who had been immersed in the alchemy lectures, seemed to have finally overcome the psychological shadow caused by the previous lightning. He raised his head, spoke in a low voice and analyzed quickly: "If you recall it for a moment, you will find that Please give me a frog' This movement has been throughout this semester... Nicholas has served as the 'idol' of this movement, actively or passively, and has become the representative of the North District Wizards at First University and even the entire league. The large group he represents is enough to be included in the list of "Wand".
"Only?" Zheng Qing was keenly aware of the unfinished meaning in the short wizard's words.
"Um."
Xiao Xiao adjusted his glasses, raised his head cautiously, glanced at the ceiling, and his voice became even lower: "This time the Major Arcana list lists the Rat Immortal as the 'Sun', which means that he has become a member of the First University. ...As you know, Zhu Si serves as the instructor of the Edge Hunting Team... What you don't know, but I happened to 'hear', is that the Great Sage Korma had a close friendship with the Rat Immortal when he was young. , the two love each other as father and daughter... Behind Nicholas stand these two eldest sisters, and behind the two eldest sisters stands a bigger boss. "Wand" has to give some face to him... "
Zhila!
A spark flashed in the air, as if it wanted to condense into a bolt of lightning, but it hesitated, flickered for a long time, and finally slowly disappeared into the air.
