My love game is too abstract.

Chapter 111: Holy Beast? Holy Maiden!
The email for the second round of assessment arrived the next day, requiring the two of them to go to the Blue Grassland at the headquarters of the Khorog Magic Academy three days later for the assessment.

The letter only came with a silver-plated nameplate with their identity information. It did not specify what else they needed to prepare, nor did it reveal anything related to the assessment. Judging from the urgency of the time, it was probably because they did not want to give them time to prepare.

"What will the assessment of practical subjects be like?" Yaluo wondered.

Selena didn't know this either. The college's assessment items changed every year to ensure that they were different every year and that there would be no cheating. In addition, the confidentiality level was very high, and even past assessment items were difficult to circulate.

"I've only heard that one year's assessment required candidates to enter a maze and obtain a trophy at the center within a specified timeframe, with all sorts of unexpected situations occurring along the way."

Serena said, then she looked embarrassed:
"I also heard that the annual assessment projects drive some candidates crazy, so they are required to sign a waiver agreement before taking the assessment."

"Driving students crazy"

After hearing this, Yaluo became even more excited.

Three days later, they arrived at the gate of Khorog College.

Previously, the written examination was conducted off-campus, and this is their first time stepping into the college.

After showing the guard the letter with the college seal and verifying your identity, you can enter.

As an academy that has existed for 500 years, Khorog's architectural style is quite retro. The red-roofed buildings are made of gray stone bricks, and some stone walls are covered with ivy, giving people an ancient and literary atmosphere.

The campus is full of winding cobblestone paths covered with fallen leaves, leading to all directions.

However, candidates like them are temporarily qualified to enter the campus, and the only area they can go to is the assessment area. There are various signs along the way indicating that this is a restricted area for non-institute personnel.

If you cross the border, a horn spirit will suddenly appear and blow a shrill siren in your ears. If you still insist on moving forward, the horn spirit will turn into a muscular man over two meters tall with a horn on his head and rush over to throw you out.

Yaluo and Selena followed the signs all the way to the Blue Grassland.

This place looks like a stadium, no, it's more like a stadium. There are high stands and seats all around, and there is a podium at the top of the stands. It seems that there are often competitions held here.

There was still half an hour before the assessment began. He looked around and saw that there were about two hundred people present.

Because their group was considered an additional enrollment, there was no big scene. There was only a large banner hanging on the stands, which indicated that this was the assessment area.

There were already many faculty and staff around the grassland preparing for the upcoming assessment.

Taking advantage of this time, Yaluo came to each candidate, wanting to hear some information about the examination from them.

"I'm so nervous. I heard the test is going to be really hard this time."

"Fortunately, I was well prepared. I spent a lot of money to buy a lot of useful magic tools. Moreover, they are special cheat versions. There is no way they can be discovered."

"How could you possibly cheat? The examiner this time is the sacred beast Meng Gayas. How could you possibly cheat under His watch?"

"Hoo, hoo, don't be nervous, don't be nervous, take a deep breath."

It seems that everyone else is just like him, not knowing much, and is very nervous now, some even relying on a complete collection of spells to calm their emotions.

"Meng Gayas, the sacred beast."

Yaluo has never seen the kingdom's sacred beast. It only appears at the annual harvest celebration. However, judging from some paintings, the image of the sacred beast is similar to that of a unicorn, but it is much more beautiful than a simple unicorn, and its body is covered with white feathers.

"I'm so looking forward to seeing the sacred beast in person."

Selena showed a longing look, "I heard that anyone who has seen the image of the sacred beast will be amazed by its beauty and think it is the most sacred thing in the world." "Is it that exaggerated?" Yaluo didn't believe it.

"We'll know after we take a look," said Selena.

Not long after, a teacher stood on the platform and shouted:

"The test is about to begin! Candidates, please come here and get ready!"

Then, everyone gathered at the bottom of the platform.

Just as they were looking at the platform, wondering how to start, a magic circle lit up in the center of the grassland.

The magic circle was very large, occupying almost one-third of the grassland. With a flash of light, a dark white marble platform more than ten meters high in the magic circle rose from the ground and suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

The platform seemed like an arena, occupying one-third of the area of the grassland. Amidst the astonished gazes, several teachers wearing robes of senior wizards walked out of the platform. They were the invigilators of this assessment.

The old man standing in the center, with a white beard and a Gandalf-like appearance, leaned on his cane, cleared his throat twice, and shouted to them:
"Good afternoon, everyone. I'm Claure Hagen, the Vice Principal of this school, and the invigilator for this exam. First of all, I'm delighted that you've chosen Khorog College as your goal. I also congratulate you on passing the first round of the written exam. Of course, this written exam was a breeze compared to what you'll face next."

When he said the last sentence, a smile appeared on his face, but among the more than 200 candidates in the audience, this kind smile seemed a little eerie.

"Also, I am honored that the chief examiner of this assessment is our kingdom's sacred beast, His Majesty Meng Gayas—"

As soon as he finished speaking, a soft light shone on the high marble platform, carrying an extremely pure breath of life. A large number of green vines with flowers in bloom grew out of it, supporting a white figure who slowly walked out.

Its appearance is similar to that of a unicorn, with a spiral horn on its forehead, and its head is a combination of a rabbit and a wolf, which makes it look more lively. It has a pair of plump wings on its back, and its body is covered with white feathers, with only some light green fur on its mane, chest, tail, and four legs.

On the horn on his head, there were dots of fluorescent green light flashing. That was the power possessed by the holy beast, which possessed an incomparably rich breath of life.

The breath of life was so strong that vines with flowers spread out around His body, bringing with them bursts of fragrant breeze.

Beautiful, holy, and otherworldly.

This is what everyone in the audience felt when they saw Him.

Meng Jiayes looked at the candidates below and spoke. His voice was more feminine, very ethereal and soft:
"I will serve as the chief examiner for this exam and will work with you until the end. I hope you will all give your best. I would like to congratulate you in advance on passing the exam and successfully enrolling. Of course, even if you fail, please do not be discouraged. Only by trying your best can you gain the greatest recognition of yourself."

"That's the sacred beast. So beautiful, it really doesn't seem to belong to this world."

Serena sighed from the audience, looking up.

"Isn't that right? Yaluo Yaluo, what's wrong with you?"

Selena turned her head and saw that Yaluo's face was tense and cold sweat was dripping down his forehead.

"Are you nervous again?" Selena said helplessly.

"Yes, there is a little bit, but it doesn't matter." Yaluo forced a smile.

His nervousness now definitely didn't just come from the upcoming test, but also from another pop-up window that appeared in front of him:
[Look, that's a saint from a large church group, but don't be afraid. Try your best to flirt with her and make her fall head over heels for you!]

What made him even more nervous was that after the pop-up window disappeared, Meng Jiayes on the platform looked towards him very obviously.
