Chapter 293 Mysticism Exam with the Characteristics of the Steam Age
In order to keep himself focused, Shade went to bed early on the Friday night before the exam, and followed his habit in his hometown and did not eat too much food for breakfast on Saturday.
This made little Mia, who was eating with him, look at him from time to time during breakfast, as if she was worried that he would die suddenly.
The original examination location was set at the doctor's clinic, with the doctor vacating the room and setting up five tables for them to use for the examination. However, later considering that the space on Shade's side was larger and more convenient, the examination location was finally decided.
In room 2 on the second floor of No. 6 Saint Teresa Square.
The doctor sent tables, chairs and benches in advance and placed them in the empty living room on the second floor. Shade held little Mia in his arms and welcomed his friends one by one.
People generally believe that cats can bring luck, but among the five people in the group, only Shade has a cat. The doctor sent a letter to Shade in advance, asking him not to send Mia away temporarily because of the exam. The well-behaved cat was present,
Maybe it can make the five people facing the exam perform at their best.
Of course, Shade's view that "Mia the orange cat can bring luck" is just a small hope that the doctor came up with when facing the despair of "Aether Mechanics". Although cats are associated with "luck" in mysticism,
"Relevant, but this does not mean that people will be lucky when cats appear.
The examination time for Dr. Schneider's group is Saturday morning at nine o'clock, but the five members of the group have already gathered at Shade's house at eight o'clock. The group is temporarily waiting in the living room of Room 1 on the second floor. Even the oldest Ogu
Priest Sri Lanka actually showed some nervousness at this time. The most anxious person was Miss Louisa. After the blond girl sat on the sofa, she frequently turned over the parts that Shade helped translate last Saturday afternoon.
Dictionary content.
If the doctor fails to pass "Ether Mechanics", at most he will lose the qualification to continue taking classes with the professor. But Miss Louisa's ancient literature is a required course. If she fails to pass during the summer exam week, it will cause considerable trouble in the winter.
.
"Speaking of which, the use of potions, spells, thaumaturgy and relics to cheat during the exam is prohibited, but is divination also prohibited?"
Noticing that Luvia was not nervous at all, Shade asked curiously.
Today, teachers from St. Byrons were invigilating the exam through a projection, so the five of them were all dressed in formal attire. Shade, the doctor and the priest were all in black formal attire, while Miss Louisa and Luvia were in different summer dresses.
Pack.
"Of course divination is not allowed, and any extraordinary means of cheating are not allowed...non-extraordinary means are not allowed either. Shade, you have to be careful not to use any crooked ideas. The academy has a continuous history of nearly five thousand years.
We have experience in fighting cheating students, and correspondence students have a history of nearly two thousand years. Any cheating method you can think of, students of past generations can also think of."
The purple-eyed fortune teller replied that she was looking at Mia who was squatting on the coffee table cushion. The black cushion was a gift from Dr. Schneider, specifically to give Mia a place to stay, and the orange cat was very satisfied with this cushion.
Shade thought of the night when he first met Professor Garcia. Professor Sanchez was skilled in using "Charming Humans" to obtain information. St. Byrons was really professional in opening schools.
"Then why are you not nervous about the exam at all?"
Shade asked curiously, guessing that Luvia's psychological quality was very strong.
"Because I only have to take three exams... Oh, I understand."
The female diviner smiled, and the other three people listening to their conversation all showed expressions that Shade couldn't understand:
"Xia De, you don't think that, like you, I have to learn so many courses before I can enter the next grade, do you?"
"Isn't it?"
Shade asked, and then he was surprised to see that Miss Louisa actually made such a very unsightly gesture as she curled her lips.
"I'm different from you. Although we are all correspondence magicians, I am also a student jointly trained by the Prophet's Association and St. Byrons. I only need to take two-thirds of the courses."
Luvia flipped her hair and asked with a smile:
"I heard that you have to take 18 courses at a time? Oh, Shade, you are really unlucky."
Shade lowered his head and said nothing. He finally understood why no one else was willing to talk to Luvia after arriving at Saint Teresa Square today.
At 8:50, a group of five people came from Room 1 on the second floor to Room 2. Five tables were evenly spaced around each other in a circle, and five chairs were placed in the open space between the tables, so that everyone could
Looking outside. At the same time, there is a water basin in the middle of the five chairs. Farther away from the wall, in the four directions of east, west, north and south, are four chairs used for ceremonies to facilitate the appearance of the four college teachers in charge of the examination.
Dr. Schneider had obtained the parchment for the projection ceremony in advance. At nine o'clock in the morning, he lit the parchment and threw it into the basin.
As the wind gradually began to rise in the closed room, among the four professors who appeared in front of the five people, there was Professor Garcia, the deputy dean of the School of History, whom Shad was very familiar with. It seemed that he was here to announce Shad's application for promotion.
In addition to Professor Garcia, there is another professor among the remaining three, that is Professor Earl Gulliver, who has a big beard and looks very elegant. He belongs to the School of Mechanical Engineering, which is the major where Dr. Schneider studied. Mechanical.
The college is divided into two directions: alchemy and spirituality. Professor Gulliver is also a spiritual expert, and his eyes are very bright.
The middle-aged woman and the old man who looked as old as Priest Augustus were both lecturers at St. Byrons Comprehensive College, and their names were Charlene Fonseca and David Radnor respectively.
"Good morning, gentlemen and ladies."
"Good morning, Professor Gulliver, Professor Garcia, Mr. Radnor, Ms. Fonseca."
After greeting each other, all nine people sat down. The older Professor Gulliver was the main invigilator of this exam. He took out a folded paper from his clothes pocket with his transparent arms, coughed, unfolded the paper and began to read.
, the tone is very formal:
"In the Sixth Era, on the 27th of the Thunder Moon in the year 1853 of the Universal Calendar, there was a half-quarter yellow moon, a new silver moon, and a full red moon. The college received the examination application from Bill Schneider's group and prepared for the examination at nine o'clock in the morning. Bill
D. Schneider, please confirm whether you want to take the five exams of "Introduction to Advanced Psychology", "Aether Mechanics", "Dream Theory", "Spirit and Soul" and "Introduction to Chekal Psychology"?"
Professor Gulliver's Delarian Common Tongue is even more standard than the city hall spokesman's.
"Yes, confirmed."
The doctor said loudly.
Professor Gulliver nodded, put a checkmark on the paper in front of him with his pen, and asked again:
"Iluna R. Louisa, please confirm whether to participate in "Ancient Literature (Serious Literature)", "Sixth Age Folklore Test (Part 2)", "Ancient Languages (Fifth Age 4000~5793) Mastery" and "Selected Fairy Tales"
(Promotion class)" "Theoretical Research on Inspirational Elements (Beginner Course)" and "Relic Containment: Books" five exams?"
"Yes, Professor."
Miss Louisa also nodded, so Professor Gulliver made another tick on the paper. Shade realized that he didn't know the middle names of the other four people in the group.
"Then Luvia F. Anat, please confirm whether you want to take the exams for the subjects of "Seeing the Future through the Mist: The Price", "Registered Fortune Teller (3)" and "Registered Fortune Teller (5)"?"
"Registered Fortune Teller" is not only an exam subject of the college, but also a professional exam for the fortune telling profession. There are six exams in total for registered fortune tellers, and you need to pass all of them within five years to get the qualification certificate. Once you pass and get the qualification certificate, no matter where you are from, you can
After that, you can find a job in the three major thaumaturgy academies or the Five Gods Church.
After all, diviners are very rare. This certificate is equivalent to ordinary people in this era obtaining the qualification certificate of a senior steam machinery technician.
"Yes."
Luvia smiled and nodded, and Professor Gulliver glanced at her. The exam week lasts for one week, from Tuesday to next Tuesday, so several professors and teachers have already proctored the exams for the five people in Dr. Schneider's group that Shade is on.
Other exams. After meeting so many people, Luvia was probably one of the few who could laugh at this time.
The combat experience of correspondence sorcerers usually far exceeds that of formal students of the academy, but they are also far surpassed by formal students in theoretical courses. The theoretical courses of correspondence students can be called a disaster.
"Rat A. Augustus, please confirm whether you want to participate in "Destroying Plants of the Old World", "Intermediate Potion Preparation", "Cannibalism and Human Eating", "Continental Geographic Illustration", "Use and Storage of Potions", "Psychic Potions"
"Seven exams for "Identification of Common Poisons"?"
"Yes, no problem."
Priest August gave the answer calmly, and Professor Gulliver continued to tick.
Except for Shade, among the five people in the group, the priest had the most exams. But he had spent more than half a year preparing for these seven courses, so it was not too surprising.
"Finally Mr. Shade S. Hamilton."
Professor Gulliver read out Shade's name, and the four teachers at St. Byrons, including Professor Garcia, all looked up at him. After that, Professor Gulliver continued to read slowly:
"Please confirm whether you want to participate in "Herbs We Know", "Basic Potions", "Introduction to Elementary Alchemy", "Introduction to Astronomy"..."
The professor paused, and very wisely, he did not waste time and read out all the course titles:
"...Waiting for the exams for the eighteen courses?"
In the past history, there must have been students who took so many courses at one time, but there were certainly no students who took so many courses within one month of admission.
Shade nodded:
"Yes, Professor, no problem."
The talents of ring wizards are all kinds of weird. Although Shade's behavior is weird, it is not particularly weird. Therefore, as long as it is confirmed that he is not cheating, the academy will not care whether he is insane due to too much pressure or whether he is really crazy.
Have the confidence to do so.
"Okay, Bill Schneider's team of five people will confirm the test content. Please ask Bill Schneider to distribute the test supplies."
After the professor finished speaking, the poem scroll on Dr. Schneider's desk glowed, and the parchment roll, ink bottle, and pen appeared there. In addition, there were two stone charms for each person, which are also alchemical items for detecting cheating.
.
The doctor distributed these supplies to them, and then the parchment papers were officially delivered from the academy.
Instead of one test paper for each subject, after everyone reports the test content in advance, the college will write all the test content on a piece of parchment.
