When the Dragon Academy's freshman test results were announced, the black card didn't look at them specially.
Because of falling asleep in the theoretical examination room before, Heika has become a 'celebrity' among many freshmen who don't know Heika.
Even some seniors in the senior grades knew about Hei Ka's oolong falling asleep at the test site.
Heika, who wanted to stay in the room with the milk pot, seemed to be able to hear everyone's discussions even when he went to the restaurant.
"School Abbott!"
When Heika heard someone calling him, his first reaction was to leave.
But before Heika had gone far, he was grabbed by the arm behind him, and Heika turned around to see that it was Ailan.
Ailan looked at Hei Ka strangely, wondering why Hei Ka walked so fast when she heard her own voice.
"What's wrong with you, Albert? You look so flustered."
"No, no, so it's Senior Ailan." Heika's eyes were a little dodgy, and he couldn't look directly into Ailan's eyes. As if he was afraid that Ailan would ask him something.
Ailan has not noticed that other people in the restaurant are paying attention to Heika. I just heard that Hei Ka took part in the freshman test, and I happened to know Hei Ka's test results, so I want to congratulate Hei Ka.
"Albert, I heard that you took the freshman test, do you know your score?"
Heika shook his head.
"The grades have already been announced. Didn't you go to see them yourself? But you can guess that your grades must be good without looking at them. After all, you are an admitted student."
"Senior Ailan, how do you know that I took the freshman test?"
"A lot of people in the senior grades know about it?"
"Very... many people know?"
Heika's expression turned even worse.
"Yeah, what's weird about that?"
"But how did the seniors know that I took the freshman test? Aren't everyone busy with their own test?"
Alan blinked.
"It's true that I'm busy preparing for my own exams, but don't you have a good relationship with Julian, Albert? You've been by Julian's side recently, right?"
Heika didn't know why Ailan suddenly mentioned Julian, but he had a bad feeling.
Seeing Heika's puzzled expression, Ailan opened her mouth to explain to Heika.
"You have a good relationship with Julian, so he is very concerned about your participation in the freshman test, and most of the others know about it from Julian."
"Did Julian tell everyone I took the freshman test?"
It never occurred to Heika that the other seniors knew that he had taken the freshman test, but it was Julian who said it.
"That's right, but Julian is not the only one who knows. Some representatives of our department also know. Everyone cares about you."
"Sister Ailan, do you mean that sister Jodiana also knows?"
"That's right, the department representative told me about your ranking first in the freshman test."
Although Ailan didn't know why the department representative would specifically tell her about this, but she was very happy for the black card when she heard that the black card ranked first. That's why when I saw the black card in the restaurant, I couldn't help coming over to tell the black card.
Ailan thought that the black card must have almost known her grades, but she didn't expect that the black card heard about it later than herself.
Although she felt a little strange, Ailan was very happy to tell Heika the good news.
However, Heika was not as happy as Ailan imagined when he got the first place in the freshman test.
"Heika, did you encounter any unhappy things?"
Heika shook his head.
"Then why did you hear that you got the first place in the freshman test and still feel so depressed? Could it be because the school will officially start soon and you feel nervous?"
Ailan couldn't help but raised her head and began to guess.
Heika looked at Ailan, not knowing how to answer this question? It seems that Ailan only knows that she took the freshman test, but doesn't know that he fell asleep in the test room.
"Ah, by the way, Abbott, tomorrow is the official start of school, and the test results of our senior grades will be announced. Although I don't seem to perform very well this time, there should be no problem in passing. When the time comes, How about we go celebrate together?"
This is a friend's invitation that Ailan proposed to Heika.
Heika didn't speak.
"What's the matter? Don't you want to celebrate together?"
"No, Senior Ailan. It's just that school starts tomorrow, so there should be a lot of things to do, right?"
"Well, that's what you said. But anyway, you are also the first place in the freshman test. This is definitely good news worth celebrating? No one can be the first place if they want to."
Ailan bent over solemnly and talked to Heika, and Heika could only nod her head.
"Then I'll take it as your promise."
Excitedly, Ailan pulled Heika's hands around in a circle before heading towards the other friends.
Seeing that Ailan had finally left, Heika stood still and waved to Ailan, and left the restaurant with the packed food.
This time, Heika didn't stay on the stairs where he had been eating lunch with the milk pot, but went directly back to the room to have lunch together.
Hei Ka thought that he could finally spend the last day of school quietly. In the evening, Julian knocked on his door again.
"It's me, Julian."
Heika looked at Julian while opening the door of the room for Julian.
"Julian, what's the matter with you coming to me so late? The job of helping the seniors with counseling is over."
Julian walked into Heika's room and closed the door.
"Of course it won't be for you to help. The school will officially start tomorrow. I'm here to care about the students who care about the future."
Heika didn't believe it. Julian came to him so late because he wanted to care about him.
"Julian, you know what happened during my exam, right?"
"Yes, everyone knows."
"Did you tell the others?"
Seeing Heika's unhappy face, Julian couldn't help but smile.
"Don't worry about such small things. After all, didn't you still take the first place in the freshman test? And the kind with a lot more scores than the second place."
Heika really couldn't blame Julian for this kind of thing. But Julian obviously did it on purpose.
"What did you come to see me for?"
Heika sat on the bed with the milk pot, looking at Julian who was looking around.
Julian was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about how to tell Heika about the opening ceremony.
"Albert, although I know that you don't like doing things that are too prominent to attract everyone's attention. But there is one thing that I think it is necessary to tell you in advance."
"What's up?"
"As an admitted student, you have to speak at the opening ceremony."
Hearing what Julian said, Heika stood up immediately.
"Speak?"
Julian nodded.
"Because Dragon Academy has not had an admitted student for a long, long time. So as an admitted student, you will definitely be noticed by the teachers and principals. It should be considered a routine for admitted students to be called out to speak."
Julian remembered that almost all admitted students of Dragon Academy could not escape this practice.
Seeing that Heika seemed to be sweating on his forehead, Julian couldn't help comforting Heika.
"Don't be nervous. Although I'm speaking as an admitted student, it's just a symbolic chat with the principal or other teachers. I won't let you make a long speech about admission."
But even if Julian said so, Heika was still embarrassed by the naked eye.
"Do you have to speak?"
"must."
Julian confirmed with Heika with certainty.
"Besides, I came to see you because I was worried that you would be nervous, so I would like to explain tomorrow's opening ceremony."
"Generally speaking, the procedures are similar. Freshmen must first get to know the administrators and deans of the college, and then walk through the central square of the Dragon College together in a line. These are basically to let the freshmen get acquainted with the environment of the college.
After that, I followed the teacher up the long steps of Suspenseful Thoughts, entered the entrance of the Dragon Academy Castle, and then went all the way to the banquet hall.
At that time, you will see all the senior and junior students and teachers of the Dragon Academy in the hall where the huge dragon-shaped ancient clock hangs. "
"Did I go to that hall before?"
"That's right, that's it."
"Will all the teachers and students be there by then?"
When Heika went to the ancient bell hall before, he still felt that the dome was so high that it was difficult to touch. The entire hall was so empty that words echoed.
So Heika couldn't imagine what it would be like if the long table in the hall of the ancient clock was full of people.
Just listen to Julian and continue to introduce the content of the official opening ceremony.
"After the freshmen are in the hall, you meet all the teachers of the college and listen to the teachers. Then there is a very important ceremony for the freshmen."
"What ceremony?"
"It's the school witch's baptismal blessing."
"School witch?"
"Actually, it's Professor Misu, the one you met before."
Heika was very impressed with Professor Misu.
It was an old man with white hair and a stooped back when he walked.
"Then what is the blessing of baptism? Is it like the prayer ceremony that witches everywhere have?"
Julian shook his head.
"Of course not. It is a kind of encrypted authentication for the freshmen with the protection circle in the ancient bell hall of the Dragon Academy. Every freshman who enters the Dragon Academy must accept this baptism blessing.
After experiencing this blessing, it is considered that the freshmen have officially become members of the Dragon Academy.
Except this, of course. The baptismal blessing also plays a more important role. It is related to the future study and life of every freshman of Dragon Academy. "
Julian paused for a moment.
"It is to choose the department for the freshmen to go to. In fact, this is the most important thing in the whole opening ceremony."
Heika didn't expect the school witch's blessing to have such an important meaning.
"Use the magic circle in the hall to choose the department for the freshmen?"
"Yes, so to speak."
Julian also didn't know how to describe the scene of Dragon Academy blessing the magic circle with Heika.
Anyway, every freshman who can enter the hall of the Dragon Academy will always have his own unique place that makes the magic circle react differently.
For example, when those new students with near-wind attributes are blessed, the color of the magic circle under their feet will definitely produce a sky-like azure blue brilliance. But sometimes, a newborn may have more than one color under their feet.
Based on Julian's explanation alone, Heika really couldn't imagine how the opening baptism of Dragon College would help each freshman choose the department to go to.
In case the blessing of the magic circle chooses a department that is not what you want to go to, wouldn't that be too bad
The black card has already decided to go to the foreign imperial department. If the black card is not assigned to the outer imperial department by then, wouldn't it be a waste of the choice that Julian and the others made for the black card
Heika couldn't help frowning and expressed the doubts in Julian's heart.
Julian shook his head at Heika and directly denied Heika's concerns.
"Don't worry, Professor Misu's blessing can penetrate deep into a person's heart. It will definitely not happen as you think."
