“When the Royal Conservatory of Music was established hundreds of years ago, in order to ensure that the campus’s greenery was intact and evergreen all year round, alders, elms, poplars, birches, etc. were transplanted from various places...”
Seeing everyone's confused expressions, Ye Qingxuan suddenly kicked a sapling next to him:
"-But there is no Wutong tree that came from the east two hundred years later!"
Snapped!
The tree trunk shuddered and suddenly stood up from the ground. It wanted to escape, but its movements were incredibly fast. But what was faster was the school badge raised in the young man's hand. The school badge shot out a flash of light and landed on the tree trunk. The tree trunk shook for a while and suddenly disappeared.
Ding dong~
The school badge was shocked, and fifty credits were acquired again.
Those people were completely stunned. They didn't expect that there was a graduate hiding behind their butts!
Ye Qingxuan glanced at them and said calmly, "This story tells us that illiterate people who have never even read botany deserve not to graduate."
After that, he turned and left.
In the distant corridor, there was a bang and the sound of something being kicked over. Everyone couldn't help but trembled, and looked back, only to hear a faint sound.
"Trash can? Where can such a clean trash can be found? You failed in mimicry. You should go back and retake this subject."
"… what happened to him?"
Everyone looked at each other, confused.
"How about we follow up and take a look?"
Someone made a proposal that they regretted for months, and damn, they agreed!
…
Buzz~
The clouds in the sky trembled, and the expressions of all the students in the barrier changed.
In the academy, in a spontaneous team, someone frowned and pressed their fingertips. The faint rhythm spread to the surroundings and fed back.
"Hurry up, there are still ten minutes left, and the enchantment environment will change."
"Ten minutes is enough."
"Banner" raised his head.
His eyes were green, and his vertical pupils were trembling. His body was burning with flames, but his lower body was a golden lion's body, with a long tail like a scorpion, with a dark green undercut.
And right next to it is a young musician who has the same face as it, but his body is completely human.
There are two Banners here, but their companions are not surprised.
Seeing him call out "Manticore", his companions breathed a sigh of relief. Banner waved his hand, and the manticore roared and galloped through the courtyard in an instant.
As a unique phantom beast of the Adrian family, the manticore's own talent is its super sensitivity to the breath of living creatures.
Even under the double shield of Requiem Barrier and Mimicry, it can almost instinctively detect the living creatures around it.
Compared with others who use detection movements or various methods, Banner undoubtedly has an excellent advantage. What's more, his brother Gavin also left his former confidant to him to help him rise from this trial.
Just a few hours ago, he had already broken into the top three.
"As expected of Gavin's younger brother."
A senior student headed by him looked at him from a distance and murmured in a low voice: "As soon as we reached the musician level, the manticore has already begun to transform into a human form."
Humanization is a phenomenon unique to the Royal School.
The Royal School is a new school that extends from the Summoning School. The difference from the Summoning School is that the Royal School inherits the theories left by Arthur, the strongest summoning musician at that time, so it is also called the Anglo School. .
All the phantom beasts summoned by summoning musicians come from the fragments split from their own consciousness, the demons raised in their brains.
But the Royal School abandoned most of the phantom beasts and only focused on the one that fit them best.
They cultivate the demon's animal nature in their own consciousness, giving it their own characteristics, so that it can continuously strengthen and sublimate.
By the end, it almost turns into another animalistic version of himself.
Musicians who have studied this skill deeply can even temporarily possess some of the characteristics of phantom beasts.
Another characteristic of the Royal School is that the phantom beast and you do not need to be from the same faction!
Musicians who like destruction and construction will also take the Change faction, and musicians who are good at insight and prophecy will also take the Revelation faction...
Taking advantage of the fact that it and the phantom beast come from the same origin and are one body and one heart, one plus one produces an effect greater than two.
In the Royal School, there is also a secret advancement ritual that allows phantom beasts to also practice the Summoning School. Musicians who have passed this advanced ceremony can set off a terrifying tide of beasts anytime and anywhere. This is a secret advanced profession exclusive to the Royal School. It is known as the "Son of the Phoenix" because of its ability to emerge.
"It seems that the next person the Royal School will train is him."
Karen, a senior student, took a deep look at Banner: At present, it seems that the Adrian family's re-emergence is unstoppable.
Five years later, if a double musician has advanced to become the Son of the Phoenix, the Royal School will be the back garden of these two brothers in the future. With Gavin's abilities, he might be able to become the chief musician of the Royal Orchestra of Musicians in fifteen years.
The roar of the humanized manticore came again, and it rushed out of the collapsed study, holding a trembling and struggling dictionary in its mouth.
"Very good." Banner took the dictionary from its mouth, put the school badge on it, and the dictionary shattered and disappeared.
Another idiot who thought he could evade search by turning into a book and hiding it in his study.
"Thirty-seven."
The students next to him helped him count.
The school badge shook and made a crisp sound.
With the press of a finger, a light curtain popped up on the school badge, showing the current scores of all students.
Among the top ten, Banner topped the list, with a gap of 300 points, leaving the second place a few blocks away.
There are very few students like him who, just a few months after enrolling in the school, have already reached the level of a formal musician with the help of massive resources.
Generally, reaching this level is enough to apply for graduation. Even among the current students, there are still a large number of people who just spend money to get gold plating. So far, they are only rhythm-level people.
With the help of the student union team left by Gavin, becoming the number one is simply a matter of course.
Banner read the top ten list several times, and after confirming that a certain white-haired bitch was not among them, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Where's the guy I asked you to keep an eye on?" he asked.
"That Oriental?"
Karen thought for a while, "The message I sent last time said that he had a fight with the little girl who was his companion. He seemed very depressed and was still sitting somewhere without moving."
"The one who loses his soul because of a woman is because I think highly of him."
Banner sneered and put away the school badge, "Just let him go in a daze. Let's hurry up. The environment of the enchantment is about to change. Everyone gather together and don't get separated."
Under his command, several people gathered in the same place, and someone played music to connect each other. Karen lowered his head, vaguely humming some tune, and bent down to draw a white line on the ground. The white lines connected end to end, forming a circle that included several of them.
The moment they finished, the bells in the sky rang again.
The roar resounded.
The sound of the bell, which seemed to have condensed into substance, stirred the air, forming layers of ripples. The ripples spread, blurring everything in their path.
In the midst of the turmoil, everyone was dizzy and felt the thick white mist rising from the void again, swallowing everything.
If before this, students are allowed to change freely and the background is set in a college that everyone is familiar with, it will give all students time to adapt to the trial.
So now, the short adaptation period is over.
All graduates must draw lots to compulsorily stipulate the next mimetic items, and the environment will be directly read by Requiem from the etheric memory and randomly transformed into a corner of the city.
It will undoubtedly become more complex and unfamiliar...
The fog changes drastically, and the bells ring loudly.
A loud sound came from the depths of the mist, like the whispers of pedestrians and the sound of loud hawkers.
The fog quickly dissipated, and the scorching sun shone above everyone's heads again. A dense flow of people rushed towards us.
In the slowly dissipating white ring, Banner and his group were swayed so hard that they could hardly stand.
They looked around, their expressions becoming extremely ugly.
"damn it."
Karen murmured in a low voice: This time, I really won the lottery...
Amid the clanking of the tramcars in the distance, the huge crossroads was crowded with people. On the street, pedestrians crowded together forming a dense crowd.
Vendors hawking goods along the street with pushcarts on their backs, fortune tellers sitting in messy alleys with crystal balls in their hands, beggar brats wearing tattered overalls and gray shirts.
A carriage passed them by. The old nobleman in the carriage was leaning on a cane and looking coldly at the passers-by outside the window.
There was also a weird family crest branded on the carriage, as if it was really driven by a famous family.
"Eh? What are you guys doing standing around?"
The mounted policeman wearing a copper cap walked over, tapping his baton on his shoulder, and looked at them:
"Is this your first time in Avalon? Don't block traffic."
Several people stepped aside as if they had just woken up from a dream, watching the carriages on both sides gallop away under the command.
Is this really still the Royal College of Music
Karen took a deep breath to make sure she was not mistaken.
That's right, welcome to the center of Avalon, the most prosperous area of the entire city.
-Queen's Road!
…
On the long street, among the dense crowds, Ye Qingxuan put his hands in his pockets and walked lazily and staggered.
He was humming something vaguely in his throat and mumbling words. Sometimes he would suddenly grab the person who had transformed from the barrier and ask him a few words, as if it was a prank. As I walked, I stopped, touched here and there, and looked here and there.
In the end, I even stood next to an old man playing the piano on the street for a long time. Even though he knew it was fake, he still took a few coins from his pocket and threw them into the hat in front of the old man.
Behind him, the students who were following him cautiously looked at each other, confused. Someone asked in a low voice: "It's been half an hour, what is he doing?"
“…”
The students were silent for a while, and someone said weakly:
"Maybe... shopping?"
