Arad's unruly savior

Chapter 3677 The Price of Magic

The exam that Hai Anna and Qing Zhi will take in the afternoon is a practical magic exam. They don’t know the specific exam method. They only heard that the invigilator is Dean Ye Lin. He will come to invigilate in person, which shows how much importance he attaches to this exam.

All students are looking forward to the content of the exam. On the one hand, if they rank at the top of the exam, they will receive valuable prizes and also gain status in the Seventh Empire.

For example, Hai Anna's parents were originally just ordinary staff members of an official department in Ghent. Because of Hai Anna's relationship, their superiors were very polite to them.

It is human nature to want to bring honor to the family and to stand out from the crowd.

Also, if you perform well in the exam, you may catch the attention of Dean Ye Lin and receive his special reward.

Everyone in the Heaven Realm knows that Dean Ye Lin is the strongest adventurer in the continent of Arad. His strength is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people and is at an extremely mysterious level.

If you can get his favor, even if it's just a small gap between your fingers, it will be of great benefit.

Magic Academy.

Under the students' respectful and admiring gazes, Ye Lin read out the contents of the exam with a serious expression.

Inform that when the exam begins in ten minutes, all students will enter a different dimension together. That space contains many harsh environments and many ferocious monsters. All you have to do is survive and kill as many monsters as possible.

It can be done in a team or as a single player.

Moreover, any valuable discoveries, such as magical plants, rare minerals and other items, belong to the students themselves and do not need to be handed in.

This is also a way to test their knowledge of relevant materials science.

He will score the students based on their performance, determine the final ranking, and give out rewards.

“The first place winner will receive an incredible reward, but be careful, everyone only has one chance to resurrect, so good luck to you.” After Ye Lin finished speaking, he waited quietly for ten minutes, during which time he tried his best to answer the students’ questions.

Then he raised his hand and waved, and the students of the academy turned into rays of light and disappeared, without giving them more time to ask questions.

Alice was also watching the exam at the Magic Academy. No student knew that His Majesty the Emperor was also there. The importance of this exam was beyond everyone's expectations.

"Brother, I heard that the original test item was not about the other dimension, but fighting with puppets of similar strength." Alice looked at him with a smile, with a bright light in her eyes.

It was my elder brother who changed the exam subjects on a whim and proposed that he would be fully responsible for the exam.

As the dean, naturally no one would oppose his decision, and the teachers all agreed with it.

The "slacker" dean finally took charge of things personally at the end of the year. It was not easy.

"Your Majesty, it's like this, please look at this." Temi Lohengrin, who is in charge of connecting with the magic school, handed a document to Alice.

The Magic Academy is currently on par with the Princess Court and Sky Eagle in terms of political status. It is directly under the royal family, and all government orders are issued personally by Alice or the chief maid. It is a very dazzling and highly anticipated new star institution.

Alice opened the document and read it, her eyes moved slightly, and her smile slowly disappeared.

After a quick glance, she quickly turned to the next page. She finished reading more than ten pages of information in a few minutes, and then frowned deeply.

The information stated that since the establishment of the magic academy until now, four students have been expelled from the school, and two of them have been sent to prison.

Unlike Diana's temporary detention, the two students have gone to court and were sentenced to five and three years in prison respectively.

And after reporting to the dean, Ye Lin, all four of them abolished their cultivation realms.

At the same time, a total of thirty-one students made mistakes and received serious warnings from the Magic Academy.

"How could this happen? I've heard of students making mistakes, but I never thought there would be so many of them." Alice frowned tightly. Those who can enter the magic school are well-deserved chosen ones. They should be the hope and future of the Seventh Empire in exploring another path, not criminals.

"It's due to the social environment in the heavenly realm." Ye Lin turned his gaze to the other dimension. The test for the students had officially begun.

Ye Lin carefully organized his thoughts and explained the reasons for the current situation.

First of all, there is no doubt that the heaven is a world with highly developed scientific and technological civilization.

While humans enjoy the convenience brought by science and technology, they often feel like they are "subordinate" in technological civilization.

The fire of science and technology was born from human wisdom. Humans use the power of science and technology to change the world they live in and achieve incredible achievements such as flying, sailing, traveling thousands of miles a day, and building mountains and cities.

However, humans themselves have not evolved much. They are still humans, with extremely fragile flesh and blood bodies, and a race that can be considered long-lived if they live for a hundred years.

Without technological products, not only would those incredible achievements not be accomplished at all, but efficiency would also be greatly reduced.

For example, if the Elytra of the Seven Gods, which symbolize the highest honor of science, were stripped of all technological equipment and thrown into the Furnace Desert, they would suffer from abnormal body temperature, die of thirst, starvation, etc. The fragile nature of human life would be fully exposed.

When a celestial being who has grown up in a technological civilization and has always believed that "human beings are inherently fragile" suddenly gains magical powers beyond those of "mortals", it is easy for him to develop an indescribable sense of superiority psychologically.

Day one: With great power comes great responsibility.

The next day, I was the boss!

……

Therefore, after these young students, most of whom were no older than 20 years old, gained superhuman powers, some of them became filled with vain arrogance, thinking that they were different from others and had left behind the realm of mortals.

They began to use magic to obtain things that did not belong to them, embarked on the evil path, and could not control their own state of mind. In this respect, they were very similar to the psychics on the continent of Arad.

They knew that they were the pioneers of the celestial magic system and had special significance and status. After mastering some power, they believed that they were superior to ordinary people and were extraordinary.

The heavens have a profound history of ancient magical civilization, but have not yet cultivated the "soil" suitable for the development of magical civilization.

"Among the four students who were expelled, one stole, one committed violence, one tried to manipulate others, and one cursed others..."

Ye Lin shook his head with regret. The magic academy has courses on ideology and morality. The teachers severely warned the magicians not to use their powers casually outside the academy, let alone affect ordinary people. However, it is difficult to figure out the mentality of luck. They think their actions will not be noticed.

"One of the concepts of magic is miracles, but it is still us humans who use magic. Good and evil lie in the human heart."

So when Ye Lin realized the problem, he came to the Magic Academy and set up new examination items in an effort to make some changes.

"Brother, has a similar situation ever happened in the magic academy in Arad continent?" Alice bit her lip lightly. This might be part of the price of developing "supermen" in technological civilization.

“Of course there is.” Ye Lin answered affirmatively.

"However, the continent of Arad is a civilization of magic and swords. The soil and culture are different. Students know that there are always people better than you, and there are always strong people. Therefore, similar situations will be less common."

It is different in heaven. There are only so many magic seeds in heaven, and each one is attracting much attention and has various honors. Under the dazzling halo, it is easier to give rise to the original sin of arrogance.

“If this kind of arrogance cannot be curbed, it is hard to imagine what they will become when they have a stronger realm and power,” Ye Lin said.

At this stage, the magic system of the heavens should not develop in a free way, but should learn from the Delos Empire and invest resources to train court magicians who are loyal to the royal family.

Need restraint!

"Then your method, brother, is..." Alice nodded slightly, then looked towards the "other dimension", and the method was there.

…………

"Dragon...dragon man?"

Hai Anna hid in the dense tree canopy, looking at a team of dragon people patrolling in front of her, her pretty face full of surprise.

Where has Dean Ye Lin left us?

Hai Anna was sure that she was not mistaken. Those races with lizard-like heads, sturdy bodies, thick dragon tails, rough skin, and long weapons in their hands were definitely the dragon people who had disappeared in the history of the heaven.

Their appearance can only be seen in some picture books and the sky city in the continent of Arad.

Hai Anna quickly recalled what she had learned: "Dragon people have at least twice the speed of ordinary people. Their skin can resist basic physical and magical damage. For example, ordinary knife cuts can only make a cut. Moreover, their physical strength is very strong. Some of them can mutate and use magic..."

Even the most ordinary dragon man, with its hard claws and teeth, can defeat multiple adult men who only use cold weapons. This is the innate advantage of the race.

Of course, humans carrying guns can also kill multiple dragon people under a reasonable combat plan. This is the power of wisdom and tools.

"With my current strength as an awakener, it is not a problem to deal with a team of dragon people, and I still have one chance to make mistakes."

As Hai Anna thought so, a dark light flashed in the depths of her eyes. Then she raised the staff inlaid with magic crystals, aimed at the team of dragon men that were about to disappear, and magic ripples spread.

boom!

A pitch-black beam of light crossed the vast space and directly pierced through the body of a dragon man. Then, the moment it hit the ground, it transformed into dozens of twisted poisonous snakes, which climbed towards the remaining dragon men at lightning speed, and the dragon men's wails suddenly resounded.

Hai Anna decided to act alone. She had a good relationship with Qingzhi, but now it was time for the final exams and they were rivals.

It was not until the team of dragon people stopped making any sound that Hai Anna reluctantly turned her gaze back.

Normally, she even felt that killing a chicken was a bit cruel, but now, facing the dragon-man who was almost like a human, she really mustered up some courage.

"The dragon eye on the dragon man's body is a very expensive magic material." Hai Anna took a deep breath, her eyes flickering, and constantly encouraged herself. You are going to be the number one person, the person who will achieve great things, and the future leader of the heavenly magic system.

After a while, Hai Anna approached the team of dead dragon men, used magic to take out the dragon men's eyes, cleaned off the sticky liquid on them, and quickly stuffed them into her pocket.

This was the first gain after arriving in the other dimension, and she couldn't help but smile.

But at this moment, a slightly teasing voice sounded, "Wow...it's magic."

"who!"

Hai Anna's hair stood on end all of a sudden. She clenched her wand and turned around quickly. She didn't notice anyone approaching at all.

What she saw now was a dragon-man sitting cross-legged on a strange blanket. It was actually wearing human clothes. Its body was not as strong as those dragon-men just now. Instead, it was quite thin. The scales on its head were dark red and it had a long white beard on its chin. It seemed that it was quite old.

The other party is very dangerous!

A strong sense of danger hit Hai Anna's mind, and she almost subconsciously poured out all her magic power, summoning a meteorite full of dark patterns, which "boomed" from the sky and smashed towards the mysterious dragon man riding on the strange blanket.

The meteorite filled with the aura of destruction smashed into the earth along with the blanket and the dragon man, and then exploded directly. The dark energy swept in all directions in an corrosive manner. The earth was in a mess, covered with deep pits, and the terrain was severely damaged.

"Solved...solved?" Hai Anna was a little out of breath, her face was pale, her head was dizzy, and her fingers that were holding the wand were so tight that her knuckles turned white. She was seriously exhausted.

For the first time in her life, she felt so insecure. In this completely unknown place, in this alternate dimension with dragon people, she was like a lone boat floating in the ocean, swaying everywhere.

"It's a pity that what you solved was just an illusion of mine." The teasing voice sounded again. Hai Anna suddenly felt creepy and was about to fight back in the direction of the voice.

puff!

A blade light condensed by pure magic power broke through Hai Anna's magic shield from behind and pierced her heart.

"I'm... dead now?" Hai Anna's whole body was cold, and then her eyes went dark. Her consciousness dissipated and she disappeared into light particles.

Almost all the students encountered the same situation. They possessed certain magical abilities and were often able to gain an advantage when facing the small number of dragon people who could not use magic. The lucky ones even gained some precious materials.

However, when they encountered extremely fast-flying pterosaurs and dragon-men who could perform magic, they suffered all kinds of hardships, and more than half of the students were sent away on the spot.

The arrogant heart suffered a severe blow.

"When we were in the academy, we could freely use magic on those stiff-moving puppets. Now that we're in actual combat, it's like changing from a fixed target to a moving target..." Qingzhi carefully concealed herself. She was meticulous and careful, and was rather cautious, so she hadn't made a move yet.

As time went by, Qingzhi acted very carefully, hunted for some materials, and was lucky enough to harvest an expensive magical material.

But in the end, she was still petrified by a mysterious dragon man and lost consciousness.

"Second entry." Ye Lin's voice sounded, very indifferent. He did not ask the students about their gains or their thoughts. He directly sent everyone in again.

"Dean Ye Lin, you are not a human being at all. Take a breath." Hai Anna wailed.
