Chapter 151 Pre-Examination Mode

Examinations are the biggest challenge that students of Jiuyou College will always face from enrollment to graduation.

Continuous, without beginning or end.

From basic exams, to in-class exams, to monthly exams, quarterly exams, practical exams, professional ability tests, midterm exams, final exams, and so on. There are many types of examinations.

But in the final analysis, Jiuyou Academy tests students' mastery of various magical knowledge through examinations. In addition, examinations are also a means of classifying students into grades, eliminating the bad and retaining the good.

Among all these exams, the final exam is the culmination of all exams. It is also called the ‘big exam’ because it has the highest weight in the transcripts of students at Jiuyou Academy and is highly valued.

Zheng Qing felt this deeply at the beginning of the sixteenth week of school.

Previous exams, such as various preliminary exams conducted at the beginning of the school year to identify students’ foundation, or class exams in various subjects during the learning process, or the midterm exam two months ago - no matter what the name is, in In the eyes of the students, it is just a process of checking and filling in the gaps. If you do well in the exam, you will naturally be happy; if you do not do well in the exam, you won't have any big trouble. It will be nothing more than sighing in front of your friends and complaining about something like "I fell asleep during the exam".

But the upcoming final exam is completely different.

It's like the feeling of a carp leaping over a dragon's gate, about to flick its tail and jump forward. When you jump over, you will be in a new and relaxed world; if you can't cross it, you will face an abyss.

"This is the first big test you will face after entering First University and Jiuyou College. What is assessed is how much you have really learned since you entered school; what is assessed is whether you have wasted your time and whether you have truly understood the meaning of the university. The implications. Each of you here needs to think hard about these questions."

Professor Yao chewed on his empty pipe and talked about such a serious topic in a casual and vague tone. At the same time, I was still sorting out the lecture notes in front of me.

It can be seen that after many years of teaching, he is very comfortable in facing the first major exam for freshmen, or facing the final exam: "...There are too many words, I won't say it. You are all adults and you must learn to be responsible for yourselves. . Next, as your spells professor, let us review the spells you have learned in the past six months."

"Open your copy of "Standard Spells: First Year in College" and let's go through the contents."

Following the professor's instructions, the sound of turning textbook pages suddenly sounded in the classroom. Several waiter elves took advantage of this gap, fluttering their wings, dragging hot towels and heavy brass teapots, and poured a full cup of hot tea for the professor standing on the podium.

In the cold winter, drinking hot tea is indeed very pleasant. It can make people feel much better.

Professor Yao held the tea cup and nodded to the elves with a smile, silently thanking them. The elves did not make a sound, and dragged the teapot, towels and other things again, and flew away from the classroom happily and quietly.

There was a little stick figure behind the door who wanted to make a sound. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, before he could make a sound, he was hit by a piece of chalk flying from the podium at lightning speed. ——The piece of chalk hit the simple drawing and instantly turned into a cloud of powder, covering the little stick figure firmly behind.

Soon, the sound of turning books in the classroom gradually became silent.

Professor Yao snapped his fingers, and the students all raised their heads. A piece of white chalk jumped out of the paper box, and with the sound of ticking footsteps, it began to dance happily on the blackboard.

"The first spell you learned was the Binding Charm... Of course, in Alpha Academy, the first spell was the Soft Legs Charm, and many students also learned it concurrently, so it doesn't matter."

"Because the first spell, essentially, is to make you understand the difference between learning magic in college and in middle school."

“The biggest difference is ‘borrowing’ and ‘passing on’.”

"What are you borrowing? Borrow the great power deep in the starry sky, within the scope of your ability, and use your own limited magic power to drive a larger complex magic circuit that you can never complete by yourself. For example, when using the binding spell, you They will borrow the power of powerful true spirits such as ‘Ge Zu’ and ‘Lei Zu’.”

"Transfer what? Transfer the effect of the curse. For example, the weak leg curse, transfer and amplify the curse through 'my horse', and then release it, which consumes less and has better effects."

Professor Yao stood on the podium, facing everyone, and talked.

Behind him, several pieces of chalk of different colors danced on the blackboard in an orderly manner, leaving neat and smooth pieces of writing; above the blackboard, elves in gray overalls sat neatly in a row, crossing their legs. , tilted his head, curiously looking at the students under the podium who were listening carefully.

In front of the professor, everyone raised their heads and looked at the book carefully - very few people took notes today, after all, what Lao Yao was talking about was knowledge that everyone had already learned. It's just that the things learned in the past class are like bright pearls, laid out in the depths of the students' memories. What he has to do today is to string together those pearls through sorting and connection, and turn the raw materials into exquisite finished products.

"In addition to the binding spell, you also learned the 'Yuan Chen Guardian' spell."

"This is a spell that can be used throughout your magic learning. It can be very simple or very complex. It is a spell that is closely related to the path you are on and the future you are going to walk into."

"Because it is so important, it must be tested in the final exam!"

As he said this, the professor turned around, grabbed a piece of chalk that was dancing happily, and poked it heavily on the blackboard twice, leaving several very eye-catching white marks after the words "Yuan Chen Guardian".

In the audience, some dazed students woke up as if from a dream, and took out their feather pens to put a few red asterisks in front of this spell. Some students who were too nervous even used feather pens to carve simple reminder spells on the back of their hands.

"Ah, it's actually a required question! What bad luck... I've never been very successful in practicing this spell." Fatty Xin, who was sitting in the row in front of Zheng Qing, bit the tip of his pen and complained softly: "Every time I cast it, I feel like my whole body is hollowed out. I wonder if the route of the magic power is wrong." After marking the asterisk, Zheng Qing put down the feather pen, looked up at the blackboard, and looked at the familiar spell on it. It seemed that he saw his two small, strangely dressed, and peculiar-looking "guardians" again.
