Empire of Shadows

Chapter 76: Helping people cheat

Views:

On the day when the Imperial Magic and Martial Arts Academy was recruiting students, I went to the academy to take the test under the guidance of a magician sent by Carlo. The square outside the nine towering towers in front of the Imperial Magic and Martial Arts Academy was already crowded with people. Some came to take the test, some accompanied the elders, friends or servants of the examinees, some came to sell various items, and of course many came to join in the fun.

The relationship between people is actually like that. From Earth to this world, it seems so human. Accompanied by my acquaintances, I easily squeezed into the front test tent. Of course, there were many people who entered through the back door like me.

Seeing this, many young people who came to take the exam began to curse, and all looked at these people who jumped the queue with contempt and envy. Why not talk about myself? I have to thank my foresight. I was wearing a standard division commander's leather armor and a long sword hanging beside me. This made it difficult for anyone to believe that I was a student who came to take the exam. At most, they thought I was an officer who came on official business.

"Here we first test the basic magic content. You just need to put your hand directly on the magic crystal in a while. Then we test the magic attributes, and finally the magic value of the strongest attribute. After these tests, we will test the mental strength, and then test a few attribute magic. It seems that there are too many people taking the test today! They are divided into dozens of groups and start at the same time, and we have to wait so long..." After entering the tent, the magician briefly introduced the test process to me, and then looked into a compartment in the tent and complained. Of course, he was just complaining. After all, the people who were being tested now were all well-known figures, and the long queue waiting for the test outside had not officially started yet!

"Don't worry, don't worry, as long as I can pass it!" He casually took out a cherry from his pocket and stuffed it into his arms. This is a plan I made just in case. If my strength is insufficient, I will merge with the elemental spirit. Am I still afraid that I can't pass it

"Hanlong, go in quickly..." When four people came out of the inner room, the fire magician immediately pushed me inside. There were two other teams of people going in with us.

"Teacher Samora, please, I really want to learn magic, and I'm just a little bit short of it. Can't you just let me go for my father's sake?" As soon as we walked in, the six of us who came in were almost stunned. What was going on

A young man who was probably about my age was grabbing the old wizard who was in charge of magic testing and begging him to let him go. The young servant who looked like me was wearing leather armor, but he was trying hard to hold back his laughter and had no intention of helping or pulling his master away. The old wizard who was being pulled by the young man looked even more ridiculous, as if he wanted to get angry but didn't dare to.

"Jerry, didn't you swear in front of your father that you would be able to pass the test on your own? And for this sentence, your father came to the academy in person and told all the directors that he would give you the most fair test. And look at the servants behind you, they are the ones sent by your father to supervise the results of this test. Do you think it is possible for me to cheat for you?" Helplessly, the old magician revealed everything and pushed all the trouble away to avoid being embarrassed on both sides.

"Damn it, do you also hope that I will fail the test? Tell me your position, do you listen to the old man or to me?" When the young man suddenly turned his head to the servant, he happened to see the servant grinning.

"Master, of course I will listen to you, but I dare not disobey you! As long as you can turn the crystal green, I can report to you..." Seeing the young master getting angry, the servant immediately tried to keep a smile from his mouth, but he didn't look scared at all. It seems that either the young man's position at home is awkward, or the people in his family are very easy-going. Otherwise, just because he dared to laugh at his master just now, he simply didn't want to live.

"Damn it, I've already failed the test, and you're still saying this to me? Do you think I'll suddenly have a burst of personality? I'm going to punish you when I get back..."

"You can take the test again after you finish it, but I just can't understand why Master Jerry, with his martial arts skills, refuses to apply for the martial arts branch and insists on learning magic?" The old magician once again persuaded Jerry, who was almost going crazy.

"Ever since I knew about this, I just wanted to learn magic. I don't care if he inherited his father's business or if he came from a military family. I just want to learn the magic I like. If I can't get through today, I will stay here and not leave..."

Jerry simply started to act like a spoiled brat, but I felt a little bit strange. The three of them might be very familiar with each other and let Jerry act like a spoiled brat, but I didn't want to cause any trouble. The two gangs that came in with me neither helped Jerry nor had any intention of interrupting them. Could it be that the power behind Jerry was so powerful

Sure enough, the magician who brought me here, including the two candidates and the servants behind him, didn't dare to make a sound, as if they were good students meeting their teacher.

"Sir, I know a way to increase magic power temporarily instantly, maybe it can help you. Are you willing to discuss it with me?" After learning from the magician next to me that Jerry was not a member of the hostile forces, I stood up.

"Really? How come I have never heard of it? But if there really is such a method, then of course I would be very willing..." He walked to my side in surprise, and after we whispered for a while, I secretly handed him something.

"Good idea, good idea, it seems that this spell will definitely work... Look, isn't it done? I passed, hahahaha, I passed. Damn it, come and see, I passed, I will tell my father well when I go back, so that he won't cause me trouble again..." He rubbed his hands together, and then pressed one hand on the crystal ball. A green light flashed, and the whole crystal ball turned light green in an instant. Seeing that he passed the test, Jerry shouted happily, and he shouted the last sentence to his servant.

Seeing the crystal ball flashing light blue, the old magician and the attendant were extremely surprised. Could it be that the spell really existed? And Jerry could learn it in such a short time, and increase his magic power without even reciting the spell

"Well, well, you passed. Now let's test the magic properties..." When the old magician stared at the crystal ball, he also saw Jerry's hand. After his face changed several times, he finally said that Jerry passed the magic test.

"The magic attribute is wind 47%, the maximum magic value is 700 units, passed..." Jerry passed all the subsequent tests smoothly.

After the old magician signed Jerry's assessment form with the magic potion, Jerry ran over and hugged me, then stuffed the amplifying crystal ring back into my hand and kicked his servant out of the tent. . . . .

"Young division commander, please don't use the thing Jerry used just now for now. If it doesn't work, I will give you a second chance. After all, knowing your specific level is the most important thing..."

After an awkward smile, I placed my hand on the crystal ball. Then, amid everyone's exclamations, the crystal slowly turned into a web-like pattern and shattered with a crackling sound. . . . . .
