"Did you know? The academy is about to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of everyone!"
Starfall 833, May 21st, Nissii Snow Mountain, Winterfort Academy, even though summer has descended on the entire continent, the temperature of the ice field still makes people feel cold.
Of course, these have nothing to do with the students inside the college. Whether it is extremely hot or cold, the constant temperature array can fix it to the most suitable temperature for human survival. During the afternoon break, there is a room in the library hall Inside, a group of teenage boys and girls were sitting at the table, reading a difficult spell book and chatting softly.
An older, more mature-looking red-haired girl held a notice in her hand, and said to her friends with a mysterious face: "I asked for it in advance from my tutor! Look, I heard that before The prizes for the three are very generous, and the lord also generously gave additional rewards this time!"
"Hey, how generous is that?"
On the side, someone immediately asked curiously, and others immediately asked: "Will the lord come too?"
"Of course!" she replied decisively. The red-haired girl's face straightened, and her eyes flashed with mature light: "You don't need to remind me. Your parents must have told you that we are here. In this academy, study hard to become a mage."
Of course no reminder is needed. Most of the boys and girls sitting at this table nodded silently.
At the beginning, everyone only came to try to see if they had the talent to become a spellcaster because they wanted to become a mage and change their destiny.
But soon, the parents of those children who successfully passed the test realized that the people trained by this academy were undoubtedly the first batch of local mages in the Moldavia Territory. They would be the cornerstone of the Northland mages' power, and also the first batch of local mages in Moldavia. The first batch of organized spellcasters under that lord.
—Perform well and strive to win the Lord’s attention as soon as possible!
The so-called competition started from this time. There is no doubt that outstanding people can be rewarded and get the attention of big shots. After graduating from this academy, they can also be put into great use by that big shot immediately. In this case, then Everyone will work hard towards this aspect.
"Wait, Ivan, why didn't you react at all?"
Although everyone is said to be, there are actually some people who are not very interested in this, and the boy who made the red-haired girl ask confusedly is one of them.
Sitting at the corner of the table, the white-blond boy who had been silently flipping through the thick books in his hands raised his head. After being asked by his friend, he did not want to continue reading, but said helplessly: "Karin, this comprehensive Isn't there a sex assessment once a month? We have already participated twice. Even if the lord comes, there is no need to be so excited, right?"
"I knew you would say that."
Nodding, the red-haired girl named Karin snorted, and then retorted: "But this time is completely different from the previous evaluation, Ivan, I know you were in the top ten last time, you My sister even won the first place twice in a row, but this time the evaluation may not be the same!"
"oh."
Ivan replied lukewarmly, and Ivan raised his brows slightly. He looked at Karin with a very bland look. The other person couldn't bear the look, so he had to take the initiative to explain: "Okay, don't stare like that. Just stick to me, I say that’s it!”
After calming down, Karin arranged her hair, and then said in a deep voice: "The evaluations in the past were nothing more than ordinary examinations, but all subjects were mixed together, and from time to time they had to do a few experiments and dissect some monsters. corpse, but this evaluation is different, it is said that a practical exercise will be carried out!”
Waving the notice in her hand, the red-haired girl showed everyone the writing on it: "Look, we not only need to complete the exam, but we also need to survive alone in the wilderness for a week near the snow-capped mountains. Those who cannot survive will be followed. The instructor rescued me, but this exam will count as zero points, and those who can survive can only be considered as passing, and only those who bring back extra prey can get high scores!"
"Survival in the wilderness? Does that mean living in the snow and forest?"
"It's not difficult. My father is a hunter. I have known how to find food in the forest since I was a child!"
"This is terrible. My scores in ecology and natural science are not high... And what if I encounter a monster along the way?"
"We are mages, why would we do such a thing?"
Scattered discussions arose, but since it was in the library hall, everyone's voices were kept low, and even Ivan frowned slightly, seeming to be thinking about the difficulties and challenges.
"Don't worry, the instructor has long since expelled the dangerous monsters nearby, so the most we have to face are opponents at the level of frost slimes and giant boars. According to the spells we usually learn, even if we can't defeat them You can also run away.”
Seeing this scene, Karin was in a good mood, so she dropped another big news: "Not only that, after coming back, we can rest for three days, and then there will be the last test-the ring battle!"
This is much easier to understand than surviving in the wilderness. Everyone present understood what it meant in an instant.
"strangeness… "
At this moment, Ivan spoke, and the young man touched his chin in confusion: "To be honest, it hasn't been long since we started learning magic, right? Even a genius like my sister has not carried out a formal revelation. To become a true professional, we can still understand wilderness survival, which can be regarded as a test of our ability to actually manipulate the knowledge we learn in daily life, but students compete with each other... "
At this point, he shook his head, as if he was talking, but in the end, he could only tell his thoughts truthfully: "Several apprentices fired magic shocks and small fireballs, and from time to time they failed because of insufficient magic power. It will definitely turn into a hand-to-hand fight in the end... For the instructors, isn't it just watching a monkey show?"
The white-blond boy's statement was indeed very reasonable. Everyone else present nodded in unison, feeling a little strange as well, but Karin retorted simply: "For those adults, it is true, but Ivan, you should also know that people like us are not trained to be mage masters."
At this point, the red-haired girl's eyes dimmed a little: "This is the North, close to the Black Forest of the Great Ajax Mountains. Our mission is to grow up quickly and then fight the Kuroshio... From the very beginning, we need Cultivate our awareness of fighting, although the first time in the ring will definitely be ridiculous, but it is much better than dying in the fortress in the future."
"Ivan, you should understand, right?"
Of course I understand.
Nodding silently, the white-haired boy knew what the other party meant.
Karin in front of her is the leader of this small group. When the academy was founded, she immediately used her enthusiastic personality and outstanding leadership among the children to attract many talented students, and Yi Wan can be considered one of them.
Of course, this technique cannot be learned by the red-haired girl on her own. There must be someone who teaches it through words and deeds. Not long after, Karin herself said that this was taught by her father, and the red-haired girl’s father is a knight in the Black Forest Fortress. The leader, who was killed in the Great Black Tide two years ago, taught his daughter this leadership skill in order to make her a knight and inherit his position.
From the beginning, Karin understood that most of the first batch of students in the academy would not become masters studying in the mage tower, and a large part of them would go to the battlefield. No need for other adults to mention it, with her knowledge It can be seen with just a glance that the lord of this territory, that person, will definitely go to the Great Ajax Mountains or the Icefield to open up a new territory in the future, and mages like them are the main force among the pioneers.
Of course Ivan understands, because he feels the same way.
His parents died in a dragon disaster. From the beginning, he did not want to become a mage studying in the academy. His goal was to slay dragons.
In this world, there are many kind-hearted and close-to-human dragons. There are also many dragon lords in various parts of the continent, such as the lord's mount. The black dragon living in the snow mountain lake is not evil at all. It even occasionally Ivan will take some students to go diving in the snow lake. Ivan's target is not these giant dragons, his target is the evil dragons that act recklessly and attack humans everywhere.
This is his motivation to study and also his dream. Not only Ivan thinks so, but Amira also thinks so. The brother and sister have made an appointment long ago. They will aim to become the Lord Lord. The most powerful dragon slayer in the world!
Through Karin’s explanation, everyone present understood the meaning of the comments shortly afterwards.
"It seems that I need to catch up on the snow mountain ecology recently. I don't want to be rescued by my mentor in a panic."
"Yeah, speaking of which is the most common monster nearby? Snow rabbit or frost butterfly?"
"I haven't practiced much in actual combat... Hey, Bella, let's go to the open space and try it later?"
"Okay, don't let me make you cry then!"
Many people have begun to invite close friends for practical exercises, while some people who are more worried about wilderness survival feel that they need to supplement their knowledge in this area. In short, everyone has found their goals and begun effort.
But Ivan stood up, walked to Karin's side, and asked for the notice from the red-haired girl.
This notice had obviously just been made. It seemed that the girl had really asked for it from her mentor. After scanning it, Ivan found that the content on it was no different from what Karin said, but it was more detailed and worded. Be more rigorous.
"Joshua Van Radcliffe, Honorary Principal of Winterfort College, Lord of Moldavia... will give additional rewards to the students with the first overall score."
Reciting the above content softly, Ivan glanced at his friends around him. Most of those excited teenagers and girls were admirers of this adult. In order to perform well in front of their idol, they would naturally work harder.
"I don't know what the reward is."
After saying that, his eyes glanced at the pattern of a treasure box next to this sentence. The treasure box was drawn so lifelike that it was no different from the real thing. Ivan originally just glanced at it, but he immediately felt something was wrong and immediately looked back. Read it carefully.
"Wait a minute, isn't this the box I sent to Instructor Theodore a month ago?"
What happened a month ago is not that long ago for Ivan, not to mention that it was precisely because he and his sister sent these two boxes to Instructor Theodore that he got the voucher to borrow books from the inner library of the library.
The important thing is that he knows what's inside!
"Those dragon eggs!"
Taking a breath of cold air, Ivan fell into a long silence. Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and then the more he thought about it, the more likely it became.
At that time, Instructor Theodore took the dragon egg to Snow Mountain Lake, and then there was the sound of fighting. After that, the fighting subsided, and it was the Lord who took Instructor Theodore back to the academy... The black dragon at the foot of the mountain seemed to be a female too. Dragon, although I don’t know why the mentor was attacked by it, these things do seem to be connected!
Could it be that the reward is a dragon egg? ! Would the lord be so generous
No, the Lord has always been very generous, and for him, no matter who gets this dragon egg, it belongs to his power, and this reward may be to attract more students from other places. He will definitely do this when he comes to study in Winter Castle!
-And, if he or his sister wins, then in the future, the two of them will take a dragon to slay the dragon
Thinking of this, the young man with platinum-blond hair couldn't help but be slightly startled. His expression was strange, as if he wanted to laugh, but also seemed to want to sigh.
But in the end, he still murmured softly amidst the laughter of the students around him.
"How... ironic."
After saying that, a flame representing fighting spirit ignited in his eyes.
If the protagonist is not Joshua but this kid Ivan, then it will be a nostalgic college RPG plot... Of course, the protagonist is not the devil.
The main plot of this volume is about to begin, so don’t be impatient, I can’t keep playing with this book, right
The reason I didn’t update yesterday was because my glasses were broken and I accidentally crushed them when I got up. I went back to my dad’s place to get new glasses in the afternoon...
