"call--"
......
The next morning, Xingmo took Aurora on a steam rail car from the North City to the West City.
After the train arrived at the station, Xingmo pushed through the steam and came to the edge of the terrace at Xicheng Station.
After the steam dissipated, the dawn light fell on the castle in the distance - it was a huge spire duplex castle, and the huge tower was located on an island along the coast of Xicheng District. Looking from Xicheng Station, the combination of the castle and the island looked like a mountain.
"Nefera Beta Magic Academy", the largest magic academy in the entire Vista continent, is called the Academy City mainly because of this.
That is the source of the technique of "Stringing" and also its most advanced pioneer. Almost all students with magical talent will come to "Nefera Beta" from afar just to maximize their talents.
On the terrace where steam and crowds intertwined, Xingmo stared blankly at the huge castle.
The golden light shone on the magnificent outline of the castle, and no matter how many times she saw it, she would be filled with awe from the bottom of her heart.
While she was still in shock, an unfriendly voice came from beside her:
"I really want to make that our home..."
Xing Mo glanced speechlessly at Aurora beside her. The white-haired girl was looking at the castle, her heart-shaped pupils twitching.
I always feel like I'm bringing disaster to my alma mater...Is this little ancestor going to do anything out of line?
Xingmo cleared her throat, catching Aurora's attention, and said:
"Remember, don't show off your power. Students at the magic academy basically rely on magical instruments to play the strings. Playing the strings without any thought or using the power of authority will be immediately noticeable as something wrong. If you're trying to infiltrate, don't do that."
"Yeah." Aurora nodded.
"Also, remember our identities. We are orphans of the Faru Republic. We came to the academy to study. Half of our blood is Yanxia people, so we are named Yanxia people."
"Yeah." Aurora nodded.
"Finally, you must follow me closely and don't rush into doing bad things."
"Yeah." Aurora nodded.
Anyway, this guy just kept nodding, and except for the first glance at Xingmo, she kept staring at the castle.
Did you listen to it? Xingmo sighed softly and lowered her head to check her luggage and admission invitation letter.
Before going to bed last night, she had already taken away all the luggage in the apartment and would be living in the college dormitory for the time being.
And...this way I won't get bumped into by the senior again...
Thinking so, Xingmo walked to the edge of the terrace and raised one hand towards the air.
Soon, a white Pegasus pulled a carriage to a stop beside the terrace. The girl dressed as a wizard waved to Xingmo from the carriage:
"Are you a freshman? Show me your admission letter."
Xingmo showed the girl all the invitations for herself and Aurora. After the girl confirmed them, she waved her wand and the back of the carriage opened.
Xingmo led Aurora, who was staring at the castle in a daze, into the carriage and closed the door.
The Pegasus pulled the carriage higher and higher, and suddenly it was close to the clouds.
Looking out of the carriage window, the main castle of "Nefera Beta" and the huge building complex were suddenly visible. The castle's spires stood on the island like a forest, and the tallest tower even pierced the sea of clouds, like a giant pillar supporting the sky.
Aurora held onto the car window with both hands, and the love in her eyes danced, like a child seeing her favorite toy.
After circling the castle, the carriage began to lower its altitude and finally stopped steadily in a fountain square.
As soon as he got off the carriage, Xingmo saw the statue in the center of the square - an old man in a robe with a solemn expression, the great mentor Merlin, the creator of the string art system.
Under his majestic gaze, freshmen are lining up in long queues, taking the entrance examination one by one.
"Remember what I said before? You must restrain yourself..."
Xingmo turned around to look for Aurora, but found that Aurora was gone.
She turned around and found that Aurora had already lined up at the end of the freshman test line and was waving at her.
The little girl had a huge smile on her face, and it was obvious that she was very...excited about the entrance exam.
Oh no... Why do I feel like trouble is coming... Xingmo covered her face with her hands, then jogged and stood behind Aurora.
3) Sunshine! Academy! Miss Evil! (Part 4)
The entrance test for Nefera Beta School of Magic is very simple. Students only need to pick up the magic wand prepared by the teacher and use it to play the strings on the holy object. The number of times the wand is played will determine their qualifications.
Depending on their qualifications, students will be assigned to different mentors to develop their unique talents.
From a distance, Xing Mo saw the sacred object used for testing:
It was a bronze-colored harp with thirteen strings, corresponding to the thirteen levels of the player.
"String" is the basic unit in currently known magic theory. Any form of magic is the influence and change on the objective world produced by plucking the string.
According to the research of Nefelibeta of the Magic Academy, everything in the world is essentially the manifestation of string vibrations in the material plane, from storms on the ocean, to lava deep in the earth's core, and even the stars in the night sky.
This kind of string is not an objective material entity, but a concept at the mystical level, so it cannot be observed and disassembled by conventional means.
The only way to influence the strings is to pluck them in the "flow space" using a medium such as a magic wand, thereby controlling nature directly through the strings.
This process is called "playing the strings", which is commonly known as "casting spells" in the secular world.
The strength of string magic is determined by the number of strings that can be played simultaneously, with the strength increasing exponentially from one-string magic all the way up to thirteen-string magic.
The control of the strings depends on the level of the manipulator himself in the sense of mysticism. According to the records of the "Star Sea Canon", the upper limit of the human species is eight strings, and the upper limit of ritual magic is nine strings. Above that, it is a level that can be controlled by mythical creatures such as ancient dragons.
As a "Bell Keeper", Xingmo's upper limit is the fifth string, and the resonating string is the fire string, which means that she can only reach this level when manipulating fire.
But... during the entrance exam, you can't play the fifth string... you'll be arrested and investigated...
As Xing Mo thought about this, she inexplicably recalled the scene when she took the entrance examination for the first time - she was young and ignorant and hit the fifth string directly with her magic wand, scaring the teacher who was testing her so much that he almost screamed out.
In the academy, Wuxian is already one in a million, so Xingmo was quickly selected into the "Bell Guardian" after entering the school and trained as the guardian of the academy.
The mission this time is to sneak in... so we have to keep a low profile... keep a low profile... Sanxian will be enough... Xingmo reminded himself repeatedly.
While she was thinking, the first batch of students had already started the test. Xingmo watched as a girl walked up to the holy object, picked up the wand on the table, and tapped it lightly.
"Om-"
The string flashed with a deep blue light, and the air around it suddenly became much colder.
It’s Bingxian...it’s quite rare...Xingmo inexplicably recalled Senior Vivian.
After the first string was struck, the girl began to tremble slightly, obviously under great pressure.
While trying to maintain resonance with the strings, she struck the second string.
"Buzz-"
The icy blue light bloomed again, and she played the second string.
Almost at the same time, the wand flew out of her hand, and the girl realized that she was sweating profusely.
"Your limit is two strings," the teacher nodded, "Go to Professor Ling's queue. After the test is completed, she will take you to see the instructor."
The girl looked a little disappointed. Obviously, she wanted to challenge the sanxian, but she still walked aside obediently to make room for the next person.
"Remember, don't knock too much later. Only knock the third one at most," Xingmo whispered in Aurora's ear. "If you knock too much, you'll attract a lot of unnecessary attention. Do you understand?"
Aurora didn't answer. She looked at the huge harp and murmured softly:
"Why are there only thirteen? I think we can knock over twenty..."
"Little Ancestor, stop messing around," Xing Mo said speechlessly, "Do you want to trigger the God's Descent directly?"
"Okay, we won't get into trouble~" Aurora winked at Xingmo.
After a few minutes, the test queue became shorter and shorter, and soon it was Aurora's turn.
The little white-haired loli turned around and smiled brightly, then skipped all the way to the harp, picked up the wand, and looked at it curiously.
Seeing that she looked like a country girl coming to the city, the instructor said patiently:
"During your family occult training, you should have learned how to correctly activate your clairvoyance. Now, please activate your clairvoyance and evenly diffuse your spirituality into the air to enter the flow space."
"Oh." Aurora said perfunctorily.
She raised her wand and swung it pretentiously, causing sneers from the queue beside her:
"What is she doing? Playing witch?"
"Don't waste your time, girl. The circus is next door."
Aurora was neither annoyed nor angry. She walked to the front of the harp, gently shook her wand, and prepared to play only the third note as Xingmo instructed.
However, just as Aurora was spreading her spiritual power, the harp itself began to vibrate slightly:
“Buzz buzz buzz buzz…”
Aurora didn't notice anything unusual. She imitated the witch she had seen in the novel and raised her wand to the sky:
"Ah! Goddess of the Star Sea! Give me strength!" she shouted.
Then, she touched the first string with her wand—
"Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz--"
The moment the wand touched the first string, a green light surged all the way across, directly illuminating the thirteenth string.
A violent green vortex of light bloomed, stirring up a violent wind, and for a moment the entire test site was swept by the storm.
Thirteen strings! That's a level only recorded gods possess! It's a power that can overturn the entire planet!
Aurora: (?Д?≡?д?)!?
Xingmo: (?Д?≡?д?)!?
The green light did not last. After just a few seconds, the harp, the sacred relic of the academy, exploded...
Exploded...
Exploded...
"..."
Aurora was stunned for a moment. She looked at Xingmo helplessly, and the light in her eyes had disappeared.
That look seemed to be saying: I don’t know what’s going on!
Xing Mo was even more dumbfounded. Who could have thought that the harp was so cowardly that a single string would explode...
The teachers and students around were even more dumbfounded. They looked at Aurora's figure, then at the exploded harp, and for a moment they didn't know what to do.
Thirteen Strings... First of all, we must rule out the possibility that this guy is human... She is definitely not human...!
Could it be that the goddess has descended? Impossible! The goddess is above the sea of stars, how could she possibly come to the academy to take the entrance exam?
The first person to react was Professor Ling. She had been dozing off, but when she saw the thirteenth string playing, her hand had already grasped the hilt of the sword at her waist.
"Evacuate the students..." Professor Ling whispered, "Go notify the 'bell keeper'..."
Seeing this, Xingmo quickly took two steps forward and stood in front of Aurora.
"There must be some misunderstanding here!" Xingmo pushed Aurora back with her arm. "She's my sister! There must be something wrong!"
Professor Ling is the field teacher at Nefera Beta Magic Academy. He is also a powerful string player himself and is responsible for conducting courses such as the "String Magic Practical Course".
Based on Xing Mo's understanding of Professor Ling, she most likely classified Aurora as a mythical creature, so her first reaction was to fight.
What should I do...I can’t start a war here...Xingmo is getting more and more anxious.
Looking at the murderous aura emanating from Professor Ling, Aurora's eyes were somewhat empty. She let Xing Mo shield her behind her, and the light and shadow of the past flashed in her blood-red eyes.
"What are you doing? Stop protecting us..." Aurora murmured.
Xingmo felt a breeze blowing behind her. She turned her head and found that the starlight in Aurora's red eyes was spinning rapidly.
"Aurora, calm down!" Xingmo growled.
No... No! If this continues, there's no way to save it!
Xingmo looked at Professor Ling on the left and Aurora on the right, stuck in the middle and helpless.
At this moment, a male voice like an organ came from not far away:
"Stop, Professor Ling, it's a misunderstanding."
