After Ryan rested in the hotel for a few days, it was the last day of the year.
Tomorrow is the beginning of a new year. This day is called "Creation Day". According to ancient myths and legends, on this day, the great God of Creation created the world and started human history. From generation to generation, people will
This day is called "Creation Day" and is regarded as the beginning of every year.
On the first day of the New Year, everyone will hold a grand celebration. Every household is decorated with lights and colorful decorations, all industries are closed for rest, and many people flock to the streets to participate in various celebrations, which last for three days.
On this day, nobles will put on their most gorgeous clothes, take to the streets, and have fun with the people. City lords, big nobles, big businessmen, etc. will fund and hold some large-scale celebrations to increase the festive atmosphere.
It is said that some religious countries will hold grander prayer and blessing activities on Creation Day. Unfortunately, the Principality of Purs is not a religious country, but people's celebrations are not bad either.
On Creation Day, Ruian left the hotel very early because he had been told before that during the three days of celebrating Creation Day, all hotel staff would have a day off, and the guests would not be provided with other services other than accommodation, so they had to take care of themselves.
.
Ryan didn't complain, because all hotels were like this. He was very interested in seeing how the world celebrated the New Year. So he stepped out of the hotel early.
As soon as I walked out of the hotel door, a burst of noise suddenly flooded into my ears. It was a huge crowd of people! Ruian quickly squeezed into the crowd and walked forward with the flow of people.
On Creation Day, all walks of life are nominally closed, but there is one industry that is open for business, and that is the business of merchants.
Many stores take advantage of this time to launch a lot of discounted products, attracting people to buy. In the past few days, Skayas City has allowed small traders to set up stalls and sell on the streets to enhance the festive atmosphere. And here
For a few days, holiday-related products are on sale.
Ruian's eyes were opened today and he was mesmerized. He saw many items he had never seen before, saw the unique ways of celebrating in this world, and really got involved in people's joy.
However, when Ruian returned to the hotel at night, an inexplicable and strong feeling of loneliness came over him, and Ruian felt homesick.
In the previous life, the New Year was a time for the family to reunite and celebrate, but now he was alone, and his family probably had no idea of having a happy New Year because of his death.
Ryan sat silently, a tear slowly falling from his eyes.
…………
Time flies so fast, and it’s time to sign up in the blink of an eye.
Ryan arrived at the registration office of Paarl Comprehensive College early in the morning. The registration office was crowded with people.
However, when he came to see it, Ruian immediately blushed.
Similar to the previous life, almost all the students who came to register were accompanied by their parents, and some even came with whole families. However, what made Ruian blush was that the students who came to register were all teenagers who looked like they had just grown up.
A six or seven-year-old boy. This makes Ruian, who is only nineteen years old now, but whose face has become weathered after years of running around, feels a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, everyone around was paying attention to the registration situation, and no one paid attention to Ruian.
After a while, Ruian figured out the registration procedure and queued up behind the long queue waiting for registration.
At this moment, it was like a stone was thrown into the calm lake. Almost everyone around him focused on Ryan, and many people even whispered.
Ruian felt even more embarrassed, but he had been mentally prepared just now, so he could pretend to stand there calmly and ignore other people's gazes.
The only uncomfortable thing was that a younger boy in front of Ruian looked at Ruian with a fearful look and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, are you sure you are not standing in the wrong position?"
Ryan couldn't help but smile bitterly. He lowered his voice as much as possible and said in a low voice: "Little brother, I'm not an uncle. I'm only 17 years old."
Ryan discovered that there was no such thing as identification in this world, and it seemed that no one would know even if he said he was two years younger, so he decided to tell a white lie.
"No way? You are only 17 years old, why do you look so old? Don't lie to me." The young man looked unbelieving.
"I'm not going to lie to you, I'm really only 17 years old, it's just that I matured precociously."
The young man was still dubious, but now he was no longer afraid of Ruian, and chatted with Ruian wordlessly.
Ruian was a little embarrassed. There really wasn't much to talk about with this young man who was a full head shorter than him, but in order to appear to be still young, he had to continue the conversation patiently.
However, from the conversation, Ruian did understand some of the situation after registration.
After waiting in line for a long time, it was finally Ruian's turn to sign up.
Ruian used to see other people sign up. It was very simple. Just submit your information and let the staff fill it out. After signing up, you can go in for the entrance test.
But when it was Ruian's turn to register, the staff had an unkind look on his face and immediately said, "How old are you this year? Our college does not admit new students over the age of 20."
After hearing this, Ruian was very angry, but he had to lower his head under the eaves. He tried hard to control his temper and said calmly: "I am only 17 years old this year, but I am relatively precocious."
The staff member still had a look of disbelief, but his expression had improved a lot. He said to Ruian: "It's useless. You will have to take an age test later. You can only sign up if you pass the test."
After speaking, the staff called another staff member and asked him to take Ryan for an age test.
"Oops, I didn't know I had to test my age. What should I do if I find out I lied later?" Ruian became nervous when he heard what the other party said, but he forced himself to calm down, "No matter what.
Even if it turns out that I lied, my actual age is only 19 years old, which meets their registration conditions."
After walking for a while following the staff who led the way, Ruian came to a room next to the entrance of the hospital.
There was a middle-aged man sitting inside, sitting at a table in the middle, holding a rag in his hand and concentrating on wiping a crystal ball on the table.
After the staff explained the purpose of their visit to the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man said to Ruian: "How old are you this year?"
"I...I am 17 years old this year." Ruian was already in a difficult position.
"Well, then you should take an age test." The middle-aged man did not show any disbelief and said calmly.
Then the middle-aged man introduced the age test to Ruian.
It turns out that the age test in this world is very magical. It uses something called the "age test magic ball". As long as the tester puts his hand on the magic ball, the magic ball will show different colors of light according to the age of the tester.
.
The magic ball displays seven colors according to age, namely white, yellow, blue, green, red, brown, and purple. Each decade is divided into a stage, that is, white is displayed from 1 to 9 years old, and white is displayed from 10 years old to 9 years old.
If you are 19 years old, the color will be yellow, and so on.
Each color can be divided into light, medium and dark, dividing the decade into three stages.
The age test magic ball cannot test the exact age of the tester, but can only measure the approximate age. However, its authenticity cannot be doubted, it will not make mistakes, and it cannot be fake.
After listening to these introductions, Ruian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then put his hand on the magic ball on the table as the middle-aged man said.
After a moment, the magic ball glowed with a dark yellow light. According to the color display method of the magic ball, Ryan's age is between 17 and 19. He meets the registration conditions of Parr Comprehensive College, that is, new students cannot be over 20 years old.
After seeing this, the middle-aged man motioned to Ruian to take his hand away, then turned to the staff member who brought Ruian over and said, "The age test is passed."
Ruian was very happy when he heard the result. He thanked the middle-aged man repeatedly.
The middle-aged man waved his hand, ignored Ryan, lowered his head and continued to wipe the magic ball on the table.
Ruian happily followed the staff back to the registration office. Next, he encountered no obstacles and successfully registered. At the staff's signal, he went inside and queued up to wait for the entrance test.
According to the registration procedure, Ruian needs to pass the entrance test before the registration can be considered successful.
