Chapter Three and Five Nine: Cheating
Society is made up of countless solid gears. King Charles obviously did not have a huge impact on the foundation of the gears, but he obviously used his fingers to directly speed up or slow down the speed of the gears. The structure and operation of society are obviously therefore
It has caused irreversible effects, but life still has to go on.
Every summer in the Vatican is always of great significance to many parents. In fact, it is not just the summer in the Vatican. All summers in Yaris are of great significance, because the enrollment of various schools has begun. Some people say: A good
School can determine a person's destiny. This theory of cause and effect is most consistent with
Because of the psychological structure of the people of Yaris, parents who can afford to have their children engraved with magic patterns in the dip-dye tower regard enrollment as extremely important. Of course, ordinary schools have also seen an increase in the number of people who have magic patterns engraved in the past few years.
Decreasing and gradually rising, we will not discuss it in depth here for the time being.
Both the Knight Academy and the Magic Academy have the same six-year system, starting from the shallower to the deeper, and advancing from level to level. Although the education system of each academy is different, the two have reached a rare unity in terms of academic years. This is probably
It is a very interesting question. The recruitment target is eight or nine-year-old children. They need to make a decision between learning and not learning after they are fourteen or fifteen years old: whether to go to work directly or continue to learn more difficult magic knowledge.
A considerable number of people choose to work. Good schools implement a free choice system, while lesser schools implement a distribution system. After all, finding a good job is not very easy. But under the leadership of Charlie
Yaris is still thriving, and employment opportunities are flourishing under a strange adjustment to the social structure...
However, all of this has nothing to do with Merlin, because his task today is to take the exam for the Central Academy of Magic. If he can get a passable score, then he will be admitted. Although it cannot be said that he is related,
But it can be considered as a half-connected household. Generally speaking, a passable score will probably be brushed off in the first round of written examination, and he will not be given any follow-up opportunities at all.
Sheldon actually felt a little ashamed about helping Merlin pass the exam. Because he didn't have time to have a systematic understanding of the knowledge system that Merlin was about to learn, and he couldn't go to the corresponding preschool class...
He can only prepare for the exam through self-study. This risk is obviously very high - as the saying goes, Sheldon can only do this when he is a dead horse. From a father's perspective
, Sheldon is always caught off guard and unqualified.
The door of the Central Academy of Magic is finally open. Children from all over the country are wearing various costumes. Some are excited, some are worried, some are confused and are walking towards the depths of the small door. One by one, they are either eager or eager.
, or eyes of hope follow their progress, but it seems as if they are about to touch the solid ice of hot coals, and there will always be some embarrassment and fear. Those eyes belong to parents, how can they not want their children to enter this national school?
What about the best schools?
Merlin and Sheldon are both children and parents, but Sheldon doesn't seem to have that much confidence... He feels that as long as Merlin can pass one of the written exams, he will be able to
Thank God - at least Merlin can take the next assessment. If he fails to pass the written test on the first day, all the tests in the following days will be meaningless.
This was the first time Merlin saw so many new faces. Fear and excitement filled his mind. In his impression, most of the people he met left him quickly. If he enrolled in school,
Will he make some friends? He seems to be looking forward to it, but also a little afraid. If he gets involved with him, it will not end well... But first, he still has to pass the exam.
Today is the written test. Meilin and other students came to the auditorium and were led by several teachers. They were divided into different classrooms for the test. There were eight sections in the exam paper. For the sake of convenience, the questions in each section were not
There are too many questions, there is only one test paper, and you just need to answer it within the specified time.
All the children are like candies in a candy jar, and the classroom is like a box where the candies are placed. Each child must sit in a certain seating order. Merlin sat in the second row by the window. He looked around
, unexpectedly saw a familiar figure. The child seemed to recognize him, and raised his eyebrows at him, with a slight look of surprise in his eyes.
Alan Vanspield is sitting on the right side of Merlin. He is dressed in clean gray, which makes his eyes bright purple. There is a dark gold magic pen on the table in front of him. I don't know what it is.
It was bought outside and was handmade to order. Anyway, Merlin thought Allen's pen was very beautiful and didn't look out of place.
The class was filled with the sound of turning books. It seemed that only Merlin and Alan had no books on their desks. Merlin once thought that these people were going to stare into the books before he stopped. There was still half an hour before the exam.
The teacher looking at the door just looked down at his watch and said nothing.
"You look very confident." Allen spoke first, with a smile that he had never seen before. "Being able to get in here shows that your parents have put a lot of effort into cultivating you."
"I only have a father." Merlin said simply and concisely.
"Ah, I'm sorry." Allen apologized briefly, then put on a puzzled posture, "Your name is...Marin?"
"Ah...yes."
"It's not a bad name either..." Allen blinked and said immediately, "If I see you again in the future, I can make a friend."
Time itself flows constantly, but it will always feel faster or slower. For these hard-working children, this half hour is not enough time for them to review. It is worse to say that they are cramming for the actual time now.
Most of the above are of no avail.
The warning before the exam was the same, and the papers were handed out quickly. Merlin took out his magic pen, took the test paper, and began to read the questions one by one. His relaxed brows suddenly frowned. Because of the opening sentence
He doesn't know any of these questions about alchemy. If the difficulty of the previous "Exploding Little Angel" was the angel version, then this set of tests
The difficulty in the paper is a huge demon. To give a simple example, the situation in the book I read earlier was all about how to hold the flask securely, and the content of the exam is not just about this, but is as follows:
When dealing with low-quality spider crystals, which of the following magic tweezers should be used to extract the pure part of the spider crystal? Write down all the steps.
What's even more damning is that these questions about alchemy account for a full thirty points of the entire test paper... If he can't answer any of them, then he will probably be done with it.
There was really no other way, so Merlin had no choice but to look down. This was a historical question about Yaris. Most of it was about the birth and death dates of various historical figures. Although Merlin knew a little about these things, it was only a little bit.
, it was impossible to remember it so clearly. He desperately turned to Nightmare for help, asking him if he had any relevant memories, but the answer he received was just "How could I possibly remember such a thing?"
All in all, Merlin only did the history part in a daze. Anyway, it was one of four choices, and he could probably get a few of them right. Not only did Merlin feel blind, but all the children in the classroom were generally pale.
Some even trembled all over,
They were all afraid that they would foam at the mouth and die in the next moment. Probably the only calm person in the audience was Alan, who was sitting on the right side of Merlin. The magic pen in his hand was scratching on the test paper, as if he were painting.
Merlin caught a glimpse of the other party's speed and felt envious.
"If only I could do it so quickly..." Marquez said to Merlin.
"You don't have any systematic training at all, how can you beat those people... It's a fantasy. To be honest, you don't know most of the next questions. Since you can't blatantly copy, then you just
Can't we just let Maul out so that he can't see..." To be honest, Nightmare Merlin gave a lot of crooked ideas, and this time they seemed to be of some use.
Merlin briefly glanced at the content at the back of the paper. Except for astrology, which was relatively simple, the rest were basically reading heavenly books... If you want to pass this exam, you really have to find something that doesn't look very reliable.
spectrum method.
Merlin thought, and Moll was quickly called out. Moll, who had stayed at Merlin's fingertips for a long time, was also quite excited at this time, probably because he had received many blessings from him in the past few years: "Sir
, you seem to have finally remembered me! Whatever you want me to do, I will do it immediately!"
"Help me write down the answer of the person on my right, and then feed it back to me." Merlin commanded silently.
Moore went quickly. Due to the highly concealed nature of the rune creature, no one, including the teacher, could find any trace of it. Even if it was discovered, the slight degree of energy accumulation would only be noticed.
It was judged to be just a weak rune creature that happened to be passing by. He was seen swinging around above Allen's head, and then came back quickly. It spit out a
The small, dew-like translucent magic bead melted on Merlin's head in an instant, and a meticulous picture instantly entered Merlin's mind: Alan's test paper had been written in a short period of time.
More than half of it! Although Merlin knew what individual words meant in most of the content, he couldn't quite understand it when put together...
This life-saving straw seemed to have to be grasped even if it was not necessary. Merlin saw that Alan was confident, so he no longer had any worries and picked out some brief parts and copied them in large quantities...
Allen, who was also busy writing, felt a gust of wind blowing behind him, and a trembling spirit fell down with a shiver... It was as if he was being stared at by some specious existence...
...
In the end, on the first day of the exam, Merlin walked into the examination room in a daze, passed a test in a daze, and walked out of the campus in a daze... He finally knew now, and Sheldon also
There would be times when it would be unreliable - although he had already discovered that when he bought these books, they would definitely be unreliable.
He just hopes that he can continue to take the exam on the next day. Although there is a sense of guilt in cheating, this guilt is like a stone sinking into a bottomless lake, disappearing after a while.
"You are almost becoming like me." Nightmare Merlin joked.
Marquez immediately responded: "No. It won't be the same next time, well, it won't be the same next time!"
Chapter completed!
