There is a lord who just wants to draw cards, what's wrong with that?

Da Vinci stood up and took out two design drawings from his drawer and showed them to Domi:

"There are two enhanced options available, one with a greater amount of gel available and one with a greater density..."

Chapter 167 Entrance Examination

Chapter 167-166- Entrance Examination

Imperial College is actually not its full name, but an abbreviation given to it by most people for convenience.

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

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

According to the "Brief History of the Empire":

The magical city of Kalia was not directly under the jurisdiction of the empire at the beginning. It was located in the northeastern region of the main continent, sandwiched between the Northern Territory and the Lionheart Empire. Among the many small countries, it acted as a neutral country that did not conflict with the world.

As the empire's territory gradually expanded and incorporated the Middle East into the empire, this identity gradually became blurred.

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

There is almost a small city-sized college with clear divisions.

The academy includes the Mage Tower, which is located in the core area of ​​the city, and various teaching buildings of the institution are surrounded by 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 stores, public baths, gyms, stables, changing rooms...

To the south is the bustling commercial district.

Domi's Rockfia, Shangri-La, and Lupai Tavern all have branches here, as well as profitable shops such as the Kalia Bank, the racecourse, the casino, the free trade market, and the 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, and some places even retain their original ecology. The glorious Vatican church is also here.

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

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

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

Domi 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, is not very popular, and is completely focused on creating props, so naturally he doesn't make much money.

But Domi doesn't care about that. He just needs a skilled craftsman who can help him upgrade the Slime Gel Amulet.

Then he followed the title of "genius" and found Mr. Leonardo da Vinci.

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

"To expand the total amount, a large amount of Dark Moon Slime Gel is needed, and to increase the density, some extraordinary materials are needed. Although they are expensive, they are just some pocket money for the son of Blofeld."

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

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

Normally, you just pinch it into a windbreaker or other clothes to wear, so you basically don't need more gel. Any more would be a waste.

"Density, how strong can it be?"

Leonardo da Vinci tapped his fluffy and messy hair with a pencil and glanced at the drawing. His eyes seemed to be a ruler, and he could immediately come to a conclusion that was infinitely close to the result:

"Increased density means that the gel per unit volume is heavier, and the space inside is smaller, so there is less space for magic particles to pass through. If used as a shield, it can better block magic attacks."

Apparently, Da Vinci didn't know that he could use his body to resist magic, so there was no need to lose sight of the main point. The right thing to do was to make it into a boxing glove and swing it at people.

"Okay, let's follow this plan."

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

"When will it be ready?"

After the Day of Bestowal, spring will come. In a few days, the school season will begin. If the amulet is not upgraded by then, it will affect his ability to show off.

Da Vinci glanced at him, as if he knew what he was thinking, and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely finish it before you start school."

"Good good!"

The Darkmoon Slime Amulet is very small, just a blue-black teardrop-shaped pendant, so the workload of upgrading it is not that large. The difference between magicians lies in how to produce better effects under the same conditions.

After taking off the amulet and handing it to Leonardo da Vinci, Domi left the small workshop. In the remaining few days, he planned to wander around the city of Kalia, open Shadow of War, and explore the map to facilitate various activities in the academy in the future.

At the same time, a boy from afar just came out of the forest with a few branches stuck in his hair, looking a little disheveled.

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 covered in mud.

It's hard to imagine that he walked to Kalia, but he did it with his own legs.

He stood on the hillside, raised his head proudly, the sunlight shining on his fluffy reddish-pink hair, and his bright eyes were full of longing for the future.

Right in front of us is the bustling magic city of Kalia! Looking down from above, we can see wind mages flying around on broomsticks near the towering and exquisite buildings.

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

However, Ignatz was not afraid. He put one hand on his waist, pointed to the sky, and shouted in a chuunibyou voice:

"I'm going to be the most powerful magician here! Kalia, here I come!"

The sound was so loud that a few frightened birds flew out of the forest behind him.

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

Soon, he arrived under the towering city wall and looked up.

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

It was not until the checking soldier at the city gate called him that he suddenly realized what was going on and remembered that he had to go into the city first.

There was nothing to interrogate about a poor country boy, so he was immediately released.

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

Walking on the clean tiles, he came to the road sign in the center of the square.

This tall wooden stake is filled with road signs pointing in various directions.

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

"Are you going to the magic academy, too?"

Just as Natz was looking for the location of the academy among a large number of road signs, a girl's voice sounded beside him, as clear as a mountain spring, and just hearing the voice was enough to make people feel favorable.

That’s true for Naz.

He turned his head and saw a delicate girl with long golden hair, fair skin, and big, lively eyes that seemed to be able to speak.

Although she was only wearing a simple printed dress, the short leather boots and lace white socks produced by Rockfia could not conceal the elegance that emanated from her inside out.

"classmate?"

The girl waved her hand in front of his eyes.

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

The girl put her hands behind her back and smiled politely at Natsu.

"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."

Halfway through the journey they finally learned each other's names. The girl's name was Nancy, and they knew nothing else.

Naz thought that this might be what his mother told him, that there should be privacy between strangers, so he did not ask Nancy anything else, and the two of them walked to the entrance of the college together in peace.

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

Parents watched their children walk into the campus to take the difficult entrance examination.

Even though local children can enjoy the benefit of lowered thresholds, the threshold is still very high, and it is impossible to get in without outstanding strengths.

As a comprehensive institution of higher learning, students can choose to take the exam in the areas they are good at during the entrance examination.

For example, those who are good at magic can go to the magician examination room, those who want to develop military power can go to the knight examination room, those who are good at handling magic props can go to the magic tool master examination room, and those who are good at machinery and construction, or art and music, can go to the comprehensive examination room.

The college upholds the concept of welcoming all talents, being inclusive and open to all.

As long as they are not demons, no matter what race they are, the academy will accept any candidate with a bit of talent!

Moreover, the minimum age for taking the entrance examination is twelve and the maximum age is eighteen.

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

Amid the noisy voices, Nancy moved closer to Naz so that her voice could reach his ears:

"Nats, which exam room are you going to?"

"In the Knight's Examination Hall, I am stronger and can take a beating... How about you?"

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

"Then do your best! See you after school starts!"

Has he always been this passionate?

Before she knew it, Nancy's emotions were infected by him. She felt inexplicably excited and had an urge to get into the college with him.

"Ok!"

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

The magician examination hall was set up in the magician arena, while Natz's destination was in the universal arena on the other side.

Both arenas are like otherworldly versions of the Roman Colosseum: 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 match arena. Its area is almost larger than the two combined and occupies an absolute majority in the entire academy.

As for its function, we will talk about it later.

Sometimes Naz couldn't recognize the road even after looking at the road signs, but this time he simply followed the other candidates to the destination.

At this moment, the scene outside the Knight Examination Hall was comparable to a Shura Field.

He saw several muscular men flexing their muscles, and they didn't look much older than him; some of them exuded an aura more powerful than the large beasts in the forests of their hometown, and there were a few who were not very conspicuous, but Natz felt at a glance that these people might be even more terrifying.

Big cities are full of hidden talents.

"My mother once said that when you arrive in a strange place, it's best to find someone to get close to so that you can get to know some basic information..."

Having lost his father at a young age, Naz trusted his mother unconditionally, and he felt that his mother could not be wrong about what she said.

So he walked forward bravely but with social phobia, and randomly found someone who seemed to be of a lower level to talk to.

The social phobia here does not mean social phobia in the traditional sense, but means social terrorist. Shyness does not exist in Natz's dictionary at all.

"Yo!"

"..."

"Classmate, are you also coming to the Knight Examination Hall?"

Domi was a little confused. Is this how you approach someone? Out of politeness, he answered:

"If this is the knight examination hall, then I am in the right place..."

"Aren't you nervous?"

"What are you nervous about?"

"Look at the bodies of those guys. They are so strong! How can we, who are so young and skinny, beat them?"

There is some basis for Natz to say this.

Just as he had told Nancy before, he was strong and resistant to beatings, and underneath his clothes he had solid muscles, but they were not obvious from the outside, and he even looked a little thin.

Damn, at the age of 12, who can have such an awesome body! ?

The referee will also give him extra points because of the age difference.

Domi and Naz were almost at eye level, looking at his figure and then looking at their own.

figure?

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