The strict assessment system of the Magic Academy quickly spread throughout Cairo along with the students who returned home.
Parents of students are obviously very worried about the academy's strict and even life-threatening assessment standards, and many parents have the idea of letting their children give up.
Although being able to learn spells and become a mage sounds like a wonderful thing, if learning spells comes at the cost of life, many people obviously don't have the determination.
As a result, a considerable number of parents contacted the college, hoping to withdraw from the college, and chose to give up.
The college doesn't force them, and if someone chooses to give up, they will be very reasonable and let them go.
This resulted in that when the school finally started, there were less than thirty students left.
Chen Mo didn't think anything of it, but was very satisfied.
Learning magic knowledge is not as good as described in a certain children's book. In addition to having talent, it also requires firm belief.
Moreover, learning magic knowledge itself is a dangerous behavior, because this knowledge itself can bring life danger to a large extent.
On the road to learning magic knowledge, if you don't have strong enough faith and will, you will easily be led astray by dangerous knowledge, take advantage of opportunities and rush for success, and then end up miserable.
Especially what Chen Mo plans to teach is more dangerous and treacherous things like necromancy. Anyone who learns it will have very serious consequences.
Therefore, he does not intend to take those apprentices who are not determined, no matter how talented they are.
Otherwise, he can just teach him directly. There is no need to make any choices. After all, knowledge is the most important thing for a mage. If you don't have talent, you can just transform yourself and make up for it.
Anyway, for the Necromancer, there are too many ways to obtain power, and talent is not the most important.
Although these remaining students cannot be said to be outstanding, at least they will not shrink back in the face of difficulties and dangers, and they are at least qualified in terms of character.
On the other side, the envoys from various countries heard about what happened at the Magic Academy. Although they were surprised, they were not too surprised.
To these people, this is a normal thing.
There is still an entrance exam to go to college, and the students coming out are still mixed. How can learning magic knowledge be such a simple thing?
However, various countries are also somewhat uncertain about the enrollment standards of magic schools. From the perspective of various countries, it is easy to find people with a strong mind. After all, each country has a big business and a large population. It is difficult to select a few qualified talents across the country.
Not a problem.
Even if there are restrictions on magic talents, as long as you know the selection marks, countries do not think that they cannot select a few qualified magic apprentices from their huge population base.
It's just that the monthly assessment of the magic academy and the strict standards of elimination and dismissal if those who fail to pass the test make all countries hesitate.
In particular, private fights are not allowed and human lives are allowed. This is obviously a part of the elimination mechanism in the eyes of various countries.
Even after analysis by intelligence personnel from various countries, they felt that the so-called magic academy was just a means used by Chen Mo to select truly suitable magic talents.
Only those who have passed the screening of the Magic Academy, relied on their extraordinary courage, will, and intelligence to learn the knowledge taught by the Magic Academy, and who have gone through many tests, can learn real magic from Chen Mo.
Such a judgment is not difficult to come up with, and basically all countries have similar ideas.
From the perspective of various countries, it is easy to select students who meet the requirements of the magic academy, but it is very difficult for these students to pass the test and graduate successfully.
After all, all countries have to send people to school, and private fights and fights to the death are not prohibited in schools. It is easy to murder students from an enemy country, and you can even just knock on the door and kill them directly.
However, various countries do not intend to give up, because they have also seen that if someone can really withstand this series of tests and finally graduate from the magic academy, even if they have not learned any magic knowledge, they just have this ability and character.
It is already very rare and will become a sought-after talent no matter which country you are in.
If they don't feel that such an elimination mechanism is too cruel and inhumane, countries may even want to set up such an institution in their own countries. No matter what they teach, they can screen out enough outstanding talents for themselves.
Of course, countries will not do this publicly, but no one knows whether they will set up some kind of training institution or the like with such standards privately.
Of course, countries did not give up their efforts to court the Egyptian government to obtain admission quotas because of the strict elimination system of the magic academy. On the contrary, they intensified their activities in this area.
Not only did each country bring out new bargaining chips, the original envoys were also replaced by more important figures from each country, and the standards and grades of the envoys were also constantly upgraded to show that their countries attached great importance to this matter.
Chen Mo also finalized a series of military orders, and after paying a lot of "US dollars", he finally "returned" to Egypt and began to meet these envoys one by one.
Chen Mo did not refuse the benefits offered by various countries, and he readily agreed to their request to send people to learn spells.
This made the various countries feel abnormal, but at the same time they felt that it was natural. After all, with such a strict elimination system, it would not be difficult for Chen Mo to screen out all the apprentices sent by various countries. There was no need for him to directly reject each country.
As for whether each country can learn something real, that is a matter for each country based on its own abilities.
Apart from anything else, even if the students sent there are eliminated or killed in the first month, they can still learn something.
No matter what happens, the quota has been obtained, and it does not mean that after this enrollment, there will be no more in the future. At worst, if we continue to send people to enroll, some people will eventually graduate.
As for those who are eliminated or killed, just treat them as investment costs.
With this idea in mind, after receiving the college admission standards given by Chen Mo, various countries began to select qualified candidates in their own countries and then sent them to Egypt to study.
Faced with such behavior from various countries, Chen Mo was of course happy to see the results, but at the same time he had no intention of treating each country differently.
The courses he arranged for the Magic Academy are all real, and the elimination system does not deliberately eliminate students. As long as you study hard and persist for four years without being dismissed, you can become a qualified mage apprentice after graduation, and become a formal
A necromancer with the abilities of a junior spellcaster.
It's just that as a necromancer, he has too many means to ensure that these people are loyal to him.
