Chapter 167-166- Entrance Examination
Imperial College is actually not its full name, but the abbreviation that most people give it for convenience.

In fact, its full name is - 'Kalia and Lionheart Empire Joint School'

Located in the magical city of Calia, an inland city in the central and eastern part of the empire.

According to "A Brief History of the Empire":
The magical city of Kallia was not directly part of the empire at first. It was located in the northeastern region of the main continent, sandwiched between the North and the Lionheart Empire. Among many small countries, it acted as a neutral country that stood aloof from the world.

As the territory of the empire gradually expanded and it was included in the empire's Middle East, this identity gradually became blurred.

Although the city is like this, the famous college with a long history in the core area has always maintained a neutral style and is open to all rivers.

There is almost a small city-sized college with clear divisions.
The Academy, including the Mage Tower, is located in the core area of ​​the city, and the various teaching buildings of the academy surround the Mage Tower.

In addition to teaching buildings, public buildings such as various arenas, libraries, and canteens are also located in this central area.

To the east are student dormitories and various student facilities.

Dormitories, convenience supermarkets, public bathhouses, gyms, stables, locker rooms...

To the south is the bustling commercial district.

Domi's Roquefeya, Shangri-La, and Lupai Tavern all have branches here, as well as profitable shops such as Calia Bank, racetrack, casino, free trade market, and underground black market.

Most of the tourist areas in the west include some historic man-made buildings or beautiful natural landscapes. The degree of development is very low. Some places even maintain their original ecology, and the church of the splendid Holy See is also here.

To the north is the workshop area, which can meet all requirements for forging, inlaying, upgrading, and construction, as long as the materials and funds are sufficient... trainee mechanics and architects in the college usually do 'corporate internships' here.

Outside the above areas are various production factories, residences and work areas for a large number of residents. Almost the entire city serves the college.

There are also some benefits for the children of these residents, such as the admission threshold will be appropriately lowered to attract more residents.

Duomi is now in a small workshop in the workshop area.

Although the owner of this workshop is a genius, he has a rather strange personality and is not very popular. Moreover, he only focuses on creating props, so naturally he does not make much money.

But Domi doesn't care about this, he just needs a skilled craftsman who can help him upgrade the slime gel amulet.

Then he followed the name of 'genius' and found Mr. Leonardo da Vinci.

"So total volume or density, which one do you choose?"

"Amplifying the total amount requires a large amount of Dark Moon Slime Gel, and increasing the density requires some extraordinary materials. Although it is very expensive, it is only pocket money for the young master of Blofeld."

Not caring about his noble status is also one of the reasons why Domi chose him.

According to his current fighting mode, slime gel is usually attached to his entire arm, from between fingers to shoulders, just like a mechanical prosthetic arm in the cyberpunk world.

Normally, it can be worn into a windbreaker or other clothes. There is basically no need for more gel. Any more is a waste.

"Density, to what extent can it be strengthened?"

Da Vinci took a pencil and pointed at his fluffy and messy hair. He glanced at the drawing. His eyes seemed to be rulers, and he could immediately draw a conclusion that was infinitely close to the result:
"The increased density means that the weight of the gel per unit volume is heavier, the internal space is smaller, and the space that magic particles can pass through is also smaller. If used as a shield, it can better isolate magic attacks."

Obviously, Leonardo da Vinci didn't know that he could resist magic with his body, so there was no need to sacrifice one's strengths and weaknesses. The right way was to use it as a fist to wield people.

"Okay, then follow this plan."

"Quality comes first, right? I'll start work after lunch."

"When will it be better?"

Spring will come after the God's Day, and in a few days it will be the start of the school year. At that time, the amulet has not been upgraded yet, which will affect his pretentiousness.

Da Vinci glanced at him and seemed to know his little thoughts and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely finish it before you start school."

"Good good!"

The Dark Moon Slime Talisman is very small, just a blue-black drop-shaped pendant, so the workload involved in upgrading is not large. The difference between magic weapon masters lies in how to make better ones under the same conditions. Effect.

After taking off the amulet and giving it to Leonardo da Vinci, Domi left the small workshop. In the remaining few days, he planned to wander around the city of Kallia, open the shadow of war, and explore the map, so as to facilitate his future work in the academy. kind of activity.

At the same time, a boy from far away just emerged from the forest, with a few branches stuck in his hair, looking a little embarrassed.

He was carrying a travel bag that was a head taller than him, with various props hanging on both sides of the bag. The shoes on his feet were torn and stained with mud.

It’s hard to imagine that he walked to Kaliya, but he just did it with his own legs.

He stood on the hillside, raising his head proudly, the sun shining on his fluffy red-pink hair, and his bright eyes full of longing for the future.

In front of you is the prosperous magical city of Kallia!Looking down from a high place, there are occasionally wind mages flying on brooms flying back and forth near the tall and exquisite buildings.

This was too shocking for a country boy who came to the city for the first time.

However, Ignatz was not timid. He put one hand on his hip, pointed to the sky with one hand, and shouted in the second place:
"I want to be the most powerful magician here! Kalia, here I come!"

The sound was so loud that several piles of frightened birds appeared in the forest behind him.

He turned around, clasped his hands to them with an apologetic look, then jumped down the hillside and walked quickly towards the bustling city.

Soon, he came under the towering city wall, raised his head and looked up.

"Hey that boy, are you coming in or not?"

So much so that when the interrogating soldiers at the city gate called him, he suddenly realized that he had to enter the city first.

Naturally, a poor country boy had nothing to investigate, so he was immediately let go.

Passing through the city wall, you will see a square where the crowds entering the city are divided.

Stepping on the clean floor tiles, he arrived under the street sign in the center of the square.

This tall wooden stake is filled with road signs for navigation in all directions.

"Magic Academy...Magic Academy..."

"Are you going to the magic academy too?"

Just when Nats was looking for the location of the college among a large number of road signs, a girl's voice sounded beside him. It was as clear as mountain spring water. Just hearing the voice can make people feel good.

That's true for Nats.

He turned around and saw that she was an exquisite girl with long golden hair, fair skin, big and lively eyes, as if she could speak.

Although she only wore a simple printed dress, short leather boots and lace white socks produced by Rockefir, they could not hide the nobility she exuded from the inside out.

"classmate?"

The girl waved her hand in front of his eyes.

Natz came back to his senses instantly and thought he had found a companion: "Well, are you too?"

The girl put her hand back behind her back and smiled politely at Nats:

"Yes, classmate, this is your first time here. I know the way, let's go together." Nats thanked her as if he had found a life-saving straw: "Thank you! You are such a good person."

On the way, they finally learned each other's names. The girl's name was Nancy, but they didn't know anything else.

Natz felt that this might be what his mother told him, that privacy should be maintained between strangers, so he did not ask Nancy anything else, and the two of them walked to the gate of the college together peacefully.

It was already spring, the first day of the three-day semester of the Magic Academy, and the spacious school gate on the east side was crowded with people and carriages.

Parents watch their children enter campus and take the difficult entrance exam.

Even though local children can enjoy the benefits of lowering the threshold, the threshold is still very high. If you don’t have something outstanding, you really can’t get in.

As a comprehensive institution that embraces all rivers and streams, students can choose to take the exam in the areas they are good at during the entrance exam.

For example, those who are good at magic can go to the Magician Examination Center, those who develop martial arts can go to the Knight Examination Center, those who are good at handling magic props can go to the Magic Equipment Master Examination Center, and those who are good at machinery and construction, or art and music can go to the Comprehensive Examination Center.

The college upholds a concept - talents are always available, inclusive and open to all rivers.

As long as they are not demons, no matter what race they are, any academy with some talent will accept them!
And to take the entrance exam, the minimum age is 12 years old and the maximum age cannot be older than that.

Therefore, you can still see many young students of other races at the door, just like visiting a racial expo.

Amidst the noise of people, Nancy moved closer to Natz so that her voice could reach the other person's ears:
"Natsu, which exam room are you going to?"

"In the knight examination room, I am stronger and more resistant to beatings...what about you?"

"Magic, don't look at me like this. I am very talented in the field of summoning magic!"

"Come on then! See you after we enroll!"

Has he always been so passionate?

Unknowingly, Nancy's emotions were infected by him, and she felt inexplicably aroused. She had the urge to enter the academy with him.

"Ok!"

After entering the college, the two walked through the east dormitory area. After arriving at the core area, they parted ways according to the examination room guidelines.

The Magician Examination Center is set up in the Magician Arena, while Natsu's destination is in the General Arena on the other side.

Both arenas are like a different-world version of the Roman Arena. They are circular, open-air, surrounded by spectator seats, and the large sandy area in the middle is where the two sides fight.

In addition to these two arenas, there is actually an even larger arena called the Qualifying Arena. Its area is almost larger than these two combined, and it occupies an absolute space in the entire academy. Big head.

As for its function, we will leave it to later.

Natz sometimes didn't know the way even after looking at the street signs. This time, he simply followed the other candidates to their destination.

At this time, the scene outside the knight examination room was comparable to that of Shura.

He saw several muscular men flexing their muscles, and they didn't look much older than him; some of them exuded an aura that was more powerful than the large beasts in the woods back home, and some were inconspicuous. Yes, but Natz felt at a glance that these people might be more terrifying.

Big cities are really crouching tigers, hidden dragons.

"My mother said that when you come to a strange place, it's best to find someone to get close to to understand some basic conditions..."

Having lost his father since he was a child, Naz trusted his mother unconditionally. With what she said, he felt that her mother could not be wrong.

So he walked forward bravely but fearfully, and randomly talked to a person who seemed to be of a lower level.

The social phobia here is not social phobia in the traditional sense, but the meaning of social terrorist. Shyness or something like that does not exist in Naz’s dictionary at all.

"Yo!"

"..."

"Classmate, are you also coming to the knight examination room?"

Duomi is a little confused. Is this how you strike up a conversation?Out of politeness, I answered:
"If this is the knight examination room, then I should be in the right place..."

"Aren't you nervous?"

"What are you nervous about?"

"Look at the figures of those people, how powerful they are~ We don't know how young and thin people like us can defeat them..."

There is some basis for Natz to dare to say this.

As he told Nancy before, he was strong and could withstand beatings. There were blocks of strong muscles under his clothes, but they were not obvious from the outside, and he was even a little thin.

Meow is 12 years old, who can have such an awesome figure like him! ?
The referee will also give him extra points because of the age difference.

Domi and Natsu looked almost at eye level, looking at his figure and then at his own.

figure?

Does this have anything to do with whether he can beat others up?

Does this stupid boy know how many digits of damage he can do with one punch?

wait no!

The outside world is filled with crouching tigers, hidden dragons, just like a top student will say that he failed the test after taking an exam, and he will laugh at himself, maybe he really has something.

Just in case, Domit sensed it, and the analysis panel scanned him up and down.

The analysis panel only gave him a moderate rating of being able to withstand beatings, but his perception told Domi that the guy in front of him contained a terrifying power that he had never seen before.

Currently, he is still in the dormant state of Gujing Mubo, but once he wakes up, Duomi is not sure whether he can beat him.

After all, the unknown is the scariest thing.

Duomi thought for a while and replied humbly: "I only know a little bit of magic, but I'm still better at close combat. If you want to go to school here, you have to rely on your own advantages to fight, right?"

Natz's eyes lit up. It seemed that he had seen the right person. This classmate's level was probably about the same as his own. He could sense it from his breath, so he continued:
"Then classmate, are you sure you can defeat them?"

Duomi didn't know why he asked if he could defeat those weaklings, but he decided to be honest:
"Yes, it's not that difficult."

In this way, Natz got the 'basic information' he wanted - muscular men who looked very powerful were actually embroidered pillows and not worth mentioning at all!
Soon, their group of students will enter the arena for the entrance examination.

The assessment adopts a round-match plus scoring system, and several games are started at the same time. Each game has two dedicated referees to calculate the scores for both sides, and they are conducted in a staggered manner to ensure that everyone has played five games and has a certain amount of time to prepare before playing.

There is no need to really defeat them completely. In the general arena, you can apply a layer of hit magic to the two people dueling, which can absorb a certain degree of attacks without actually causing damage to the opponent. When the absorption reaches the upper limit, it will Broken, viewed as a failure, so both parties can give it their all.

Scores range from one to ten. After five games, as long as the total score exceeds thirty, you can successfully enroll.

Domi finished his warm-up activities and walked onto one of the separate 'boxing rings' to look at his first opponent.

As luck would have it, this opponent was a muscular man who was labeled an embroidered pillow by Natz.

Natz, who hadn't even started yet in this round, acted as a spectator, staring intently at Domi's machine. Whether it was an embroidered pillow or not, you'd know after a dozen!
