News of the midterm exam spread quickly.
For this world, everything the Magic Academy symbolizes is too trendy. midterm? What it is? The novelty came to me. Even a simple stage test could become news on the same level as the king's death, spreading throughout the streets.
What's more, the death of the king may not have any impact on most people's lives, but the magic academy is a place where even the poorest people can go to learn magic!
"Are you really going to the Magic Academy to watch their midterm exams?"
In a city in Freden, there was a gathering place for a certain mage organization. Several mages who were dissatisfied with the magic academy gathered there to discuss the latest news.
"Of course I want to go. Not only are there orders from above, but several highly respected mages have also invited me. How could I not go?"
"But... didn't we do a lot of things against them before?"
"So what? How did they know it was us?" The mage leader smiled disdainfully and said, "What kind of magic academy is just right. I would like to see what kind of tricks they have done."
Situations like this happen within almost every mage organization. When Benjamin wrote the letter, he emphasized that all the slightly influential mage organizations should be invited. And as the hero who saved Frieden and Carites, he still has a lot of face.
In fact, those mages had a good relationship with him and had witnessed his feats at the opening ceremony. How could they dare to cause trouble for Benjamin
Secretly opposed to him are numerous small and medium-sized mage organizations. After all, Benjamin's behavior made it impossible for them to survive.
In this way, invitations were sent to almost every mage organization. Those who are neither good nor bad like them often have an unconvinced attitude. Naturally, no one refuses this invitation. They are all high-spirited and ready to go to the Magic Academy to find out.
Of course, apart from these guys with evil intentions, there are still many people who are full of curiosity and expectations for the academy. Some people missed the first enrollment, and some were hesitant to let their children go to school... The magic academy was semi-closed before, but finally it was open to the public for visits, and I heard that there are open classes and so on. Feel free to listen, so many mages are very interested.
So, gradually, Akademi, which had been deserted for several months, suddenly became lively again.
"The mid-term exam is so good!" Counting the jingling coins in his wallet, the hotel owner couldn't help but sigh, "Can't the dean do more of this kind of thing? You only have to take the exam once every few months, which is not enough? You should take the test once a week!”
Fortunately, the students couldn't hear such words, otherwise they would probably vomit blood and die.
Probably a few days before the exam, Benjamin was walking on the streets of the college, and almost no one came up to approach him enthusiastically. Everyone's face was ashen, with a pair of dead fish eyes, and bags under their eyes, and they walked by like a walking zombie. When he saw Benjamin, he nodded stupidly towards him, and then hurried to the next place.
Seeing this, Benjamin nodded with satisfaction.
He felt that he had lived up to the quality education he had received. He continued this love and passed it to another corner of the world.
There is an inexplicable sense of relief.
"...Are you trying to tire them out?" The system couldn't help but say.
"They will be given two days off before the exam. They can rest by themselves and adjust to the exam." Benjamin replied in his heart, "Besides... what does this mean? You underestimate people's potential."
The system was speechless.
In this way, the last few days passed, and the first midterm exam since the beginning of the Magic Academy officially kicked off.
In the town of Akademi, people who had been waiting for a long time entered the college one after another.
"Is this the Magic Academy? I heard that it cost a lot of money and a large group of people built it here for a long time. It's just like this. It's not as impressive as some aristocratic schools."
Farrell is the leader of a mage organization. After discussing with several other mage organizations, he hired some people to cause trouble in front of the college. At this moment, he walked into the academy, looked around, and couldn't help but comment in a low voice to his companions.
"Keep your voice down, don't let them hear it." His companion immediately reminded him.
Farrell nodded and said, "I'm already very quiet, how could they hear me?"
After saying that, they continued to walk inside, and the wide streets and various buildings of the college also appeared in their eyes. They mingled among the crowd, looking around, and couldn't help but comment in a low voice.
"The place is quite big. I don't know why the King of Carites gave away such a big place."
"What are those buildings for? It's strange. I don't know what the use is of building so many houses. Are there so many students in their college?"
"There don't seem to be many people over there. Let's go over and take a look. Maybe there's something hidden here."
After looking at it casually for a while, but not seeing anything interesting, the two of them walked towards a sparsely populated place. They had also heard about Benjamin's power, so they felt that this young mage must have some secrets, maybe the secrets were hidden in this academy.
They couldn't help but feel that they could get something good from here.
"Sorry, no passage is allowed in front."
However, after taking a few steps, they suddenly saw a few guard-like guys, blocking their way and preventing them from going to a quieter place.
Farrell and his companion looked at each other.
"Not allowed to pass? Doesn't it mean completely open? What does this mean?"
The other party replied: "Because in the teaching building in front, some of our students are taking a written test. They need a quiet environment, and the written test is really not suitable for others to watch. There is a practical test for another group of students in the playground on the left , you can go there and visit.”
Farrell was a little confused.
The written test...the practical test...is really complicated. Isn't it just a school that teaches magic? What are you doing with all this mess
The more the other party stopped him, the more he wanted to go and have a look. However, since people are blocking their way, they certainly can't treat it as a quarrel and force their way through.
After exchanging a look with his companion, he turned around and they walked towards the playground together.
After walking far away.
"It's mysterious. I wonder if there's something shady about it. Should we fly over there?" the fellow mage said in a low voice with an unhappy expression on his face.
"...Forget it, it will definitely be discovered." Farrell shook his head and said, "Isn't there some actual combat test over there? You have only learned magic for a long time, and you are talking about actual combat. Do you think all the mages here are fools? "
"That's right, an apprentice who has just learned magic for a few months is not qualified to copy notes for the teacher, and he is still practicing..."
"Let's go over and take a look."
The fellow mage nodded.
Following the crowd, they continued to move forward. Although they were all dissatisfied, they had done bad things after all, and they felt a little guilty. They didn't dare to be too high-profile about anything they did, for fear of being discovered.
Soon, they arrived at the playground.
