Nocturne's team was third in the previous admissions exam, only a little slower than Bai and Nanami's team!
Like Bai, Nocturne also received a reward of 10 academy gold coins.
He is probably also a candidate with extraordinary talent and intelligence.
The gloomy girl whose pseudonym was Nocturne seemed not surprised by the assigned major, nor did her expression fluctuate due to the hammer hitting her head. She walked off the stage calmly.
The moment she passed Russell, the gloomy girl suddenly whispered:
"Congratulations, Russell. First place among the freshmen."
Her voice was erratic and low, which made one's blood run cold and goosebumps spread out.
"Just tied for first place." Russell replied calmly.
He had a vague feeling that Nocturne's attitude towards him was a little strange, but he couldn't figure out where the strange feeling came from.
Russell walked onto the stage, sat on the wooden chair, and waited for the sorting hammer to fall.
boom!
The sorting hammer fell and hit Russell on the head.
It really hurts!
The Qingjun boy gritted his teeth and his face twitched because of the pain. He held back the severe pain and did not cry out.
While staring at the stars, Russell seemed to hear something coming from an infinite distance.
He fell into a brief trance, as if falling into a dream again.
Russell heard a faint, disembodied cry.
But it is too small and fragmented, and only a little can be heard:
"The prophesied hero..."
"Your opportunity is there...the rich treasure is there...go there, man of prophecy...the legendary treasure is waiting for you..."
"Where exactly is the treasure? Please explain the specific location and don't be mysterious." Russell asked hurriedly.
The ethereal voice became increasingly vague and intermittent.
Before the sound disappeared, he vaguely heard a few vague words, such as "book", "underground", "hollow", "secret room", and "seal".
Russell then broke out of his trance, returned to reality, and raised his head.
Did the Sorting Hammer want to convey some message to me just now?
The Sorting Hammer suspended in the air.
Its human-like facial features looked serious, and it seemed that it didn't realize that Russell was in a bad state just now, and it just closed its eyes and thought.
Wasn't the Sorting Hammer talking to me?
Someone manipulated the sorting ceremony to try to pass information to me?
Russell had a guess.
Who could it be?
Someone from the school?
The girl nocturne who was talking to me just now?
Others I don't know about?
He had no clue.
Russell secretly remembered the secret of the treasure and quietly waited for the results of the sorting.
I hope it’s the psychic and illusion department, or the astrology and numerology department! Russell thought.
These two majors are most likely related to his abnormal physique!
After thinking briefly, the Sorting Hammer loudly announced the result:
"Russell, the Department of Death and Life!"
It’s actually Professor Black Amber, the major he doesn’t want me to enter?
Is there anything special about the undead and life systems?
Russell was not too disappointed and walked off the stage naturally.
——This major is likely to involve my prophecy, and may also be related to my abnormal physique.
After that, many freshmen came on stage one after another and were assigned to the corresponding majors.
Subway, who previously teamed up with Russell, was assigned to the creation and summoning department.
As the last student stepped off the wooden chair, the sorting ceremony ended.
"So, it's just a division into majors. Why is it called a sorting ceremony?"
Russell thought of an important question.
…
For more than an hour, Professor Agate, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and bright red women's clothing, walked onto the stage and explained the school's profile to the students.
"The college is divided into two parts, the junior college for first-year and second-year students, and the high-school college for third- and fourth-year geniuses. Both colleges are surrounded by dense forests on the outside.
"As for fifth-year students, there have only been two in the history of the college, and one of them is the current president of the college. Maybe one of you can climb to this step.
"Children, where are you from - Tokyo Mage Shrine? Bavarian Illuminati? A family of sorcerers from North China or Scotland? When you step into the academy, forget all this and prepare to face rigorous assessment and competition.
"What the academy wants to cultivate is the most outstanding spellcasters, the absolute elite of the entire extraordinary world. At the end of each school year, less than one-tenth of the students can be promoted to a higher grade. A higher grade means Glory and strength..."
It wasn't until Russell started to yawn that Professor Agate's speech ended after mentioning "one last thing" for the ninth time.
The freshmen left the auditorium one after another.
Russell was the last to go.
Stepping out of the door, the sun is bright and the breeze is refreshing.
He still remembered the mysterious voice telling him that there was a precious treasure in the academy.
That was his big opportunity!
The corners of Russell's mouth raised slightly.
It's almost Destiny's time.
As the protagonist, now that he knows the clues to the treasure.
It goes without saying what to do next.
