The Pseudo-Human Academy: Starting with a Bricklayer Personality

Dean Holwalk spoke up:

"Your Highness Charlie, please place your hand on the Stone of Truth. The Stone of Truth will reveal your magical aptitude and which house you will be admitted to in the future."

"I understand, Headmaster," Prince Charlie said with a humble and polite demeanor.

This elicited another round of screams from the female students in the audience.

It's unclear whether Dean Holwalker saw through Prince Charlie's true nature, but he nodded in satisfaction at his humble and polite demeanor.

Xu Feng felt that the old man was probably just staying in the position of dean of the academy to retire.

He doesn't seem much different from an ordinary old man.

It can't possibly be some kind of reclusive genie, right?

Similar to a hidden master?

Prince Charles placed his hand on the Stone of Knowledge, which then emitted a dazzling purple light.

Everyone present gasped in surprise:

"A superior magical aptitude! No wonder he's of royal blood; Prince Charlie's magical talent is truly outstanding!"

"As expected of royalty, I knew Prince Charlie would live up to the royal family's expectations."

"He's so handsome! Prince Charlie, I really want to be like him!"

Then the stone lit up with a crimson light, and a line of magical text appeared.

"You are bright, open, brave, and loyal, possessing exceptional combat talent, making you a better fit for the Golden Feather Academy."

Xu Feng was completely bewildered. Where was the light? Where was the peace?

This broken rock is lying through its teeth, isn't it?

After receiving the evaluation from the Stone of Truth.

Prince Charlie, as if he had expected it, raised his head, puffed out his chest, and walked off the stage with an air of arrogance.

Hearing the students' praises, Xu Feng didn't feel that Charlie was particularly impressive.

He didn't see a single drop of sweat or effort from them.

He only saw the good fortune of being born into the right family and the theory of bloodline.

Xu Feng looked at Prince Charlie with a rather strange expression.

Why does he feel that the so-called magical aptitude doesn't seem to bring much of a boost to physical fitness?

Prince Charlie gave him a stronger impression than the average person.

But he's not that strong, probably only around 3 points in physique. However, this guy does possess physical attributes far exceeding those of ordinary people, making him suitable for combat; that stone wasn't wrong.

Let's assume we also have magical abilities.

Prince Charlie's fighting strength is at most doubled, right?

Perhaps it's because they haven't received enough training. Maybe their physique will improve with more training!

Xu Feng looked at the next young man who came up on stage. He was an intellectual young man with blue hair and glasses. He gave people a feeling that he was very bookish but not rigid and very smart.

His good looks made Xu Feng feel a little strange.

He overheard the female students next to him talking:

"Ah! It's Hillman, the minister's son. He's really handsome!"

"I've heard that his magical talent is also outstanding, and he's even known as a magical genius!"

"Wow! He's so handsome! Girls, I won't die until I find a husband like him!"

Hillman gave the dean a noble salute, which was essentially a gentleman's salute.

Gentlemanly etiquette originated from aristocratic etiquette, and the two share striking similarities.

"Dean of the Academy."

Hillman greeted Dean Hallwalk very politely.

This caused another round of screams from the group of female monkeys in the audience.

Xu Feng was speechless. Had he somehow transmigrated into some obscure otome game world?

Or, to put it another way, it could be a reflection of the world of a certain type of melodramatic otome game. Under the theory of multidimensional worlds, such a world reflection is indeed possible.

It's impossible for a character similar to the female lead to appear next, right?

If that were really the case, it would be so ridiculously absurd!

After greeting him, Hillman placed his hand on the Stone of Truth, which then glowed with a purple light.

Another gasp of surprise came from the audience:

"He also has top-tier magical aptitude! That's unbelievable!"

"I remember Minister Hollo wasn't a nobleman, was he? It's incredible that Hillman, as the minister's son, possesses such outstanding magical talent."

"Ah! Hillman is so handsome! Even if he doesn't have a title to inherit, I still want to marry him!"

Xu Feng immediately understood, which also explained why Hillman was so good-looking.

Because his fathers did not engage in endogamy like those nobles.

Xu Feng stroked his chin thoughtfully, and then everything made sense.

This is why the world's nobles are generally quite ugly.

It was because they had to intermarry in order to maintain their high magical aptitude.

This resulted in Prince Charles being an ugly man, but he used magic to cover up the truth.

Immediately, the Stone of Truth lit up with a deep blue light, and a line of text appeared.

"You are intelligent, insightful, and possess talents that are beyond the reach of ordinary people. You are an indispensable strategist for the team, and you are more suited to the Arcane Academy."

Amidst the envious gazes of the students, Hillman adjusted his glasses and stepped off the stage.

He was not arrogant at all because of his outstanding talent; his face showed only wisdom and maturity beyond his years.

The next person to come on stage was a woman with a head of gorgeous long, golden curly hair.

This immediately caused a stir among the audience.

"Ah~ it's the Duke's daughter, Annabelle! She's so beautiful, like a noble white swan!"

"Beautiful, so incredibly beautiful! By the Goddess of Light, I feel as if I'm seeing angels!"

"If I can't marry a wife like that in my lifetime, I'll just stay alive and not die!"

A few oddballs and minor nobles shared their thoughts.

Wait, is the Duke's daughter named Annabelle?

Why does this sound like the female lead in a horror movie?

Xu Feng seemed to have forgotten some of it.

However, what Xu Feng found even stranger was that this elegant, curly-haired blonde young lady did indeed seem to be very beautiful.

Xu Feng couldn't help but wonder if it was possible that her duke father had been cuckolded.

Logically speaking, given the aristocratic marriage patterns, it would be impossible to have such beautiful and dignified offspring; deformed children should be the norm.

According to this theory, her qualifications probably aren't very high.

Unsurprisingly, the duke's daughter was not as outstanding as one might have imagined.

The Stone of Truth only lit up with a blue light; for a top-tier noble family like the Duke's, purple magical aptitude should be the norm.

This level of magical aptitude is as expected.

It seems that if bloodlines are diluted in this world, magical aptitude does indeed decrease, but this is uncertain and requires further investigation through numerous case studies.

Finally, the broken stone lit up with a green light, and a line of magical words appeared on the Stone of True Knowledge.

[You are full of love, compassion, and mercy; you love all things equally. Perhaps healing magic is more suitable for you! The Emerald Academy opens its doors to you.]

Xu Feng, sitting in the audience, recalled the colors that the Stones of Truth had lit up and sensed something was wrong. He seemed to suddenly realize the seriousness of the situation.

First it was crimson, then dark blue, and then green.

Wait, will this broken stone light up pink later?

Is this dungeon going to send me into the subspace?
