"who is it?"
(???.???)????
"I'm coming!"
?(?﹏?,)?
Hearing that there was a knock on the door so late at night, Anne yelled impatiently, then made heavy footsteps and reluctantly ran to the door quickly and grabbed it. Opened the door to her bedroom.
"!!"
!? (?''??)?
"It turns out to be Hain, you idiot, what are you doing here?!"
!(;?o?)o
Annie was startled and didn't know why the other party came to see her so late at night. Anyway, she didn't think that the relationship between her and the other party was good enough to allow him to visit anytime and anywhere.
"What's matter?"
(′~`●)
"If not, you can go back now!"
ヾ(^▽^*)))
Therefore, she stopped directly in front of the door and had no intention of inviting the other party to sit in, although there was indeed a large study room in her room.
"actually……"
"Is such that……"
"Teacher Annie!"
"I'm here to ask you about magic. Also, can you officially accept me as your apprentice?"
"please!"
Hain struggled for a while, and then he soon made up his mind and asked loudly and sincerely.
"Ah?!"
!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ
"You guys haven't given up yet?"
━(?Δ?∥)━ン
Anne was startled again.
She never thought that someone could be so thick-skinned. She had clearly stated it many times, but the other party would bother her again and again?
"!!"
"Please, Teacher Anne, please accept me as your apprentice!"
"Please!"
With a tense face, Hai En bowed sincerely and almost knelt down towards the floor.
"..."
(?~?)
Anne didn't answer, she just started to frown and think.
"..."
(??ω??)
But soon, as her eyes rolled, she thought of a perfect way, and then slowly made way for the door.
"You come in first!"
?(ψ`▽′)o
Then, Anne led the other party to the study room in her room, and then rummaged around on the desk. After she found a piece of parchment, she finally cheered and looked at Hain again, who was confused and anxious. .
"Actually..."
?乛?乛?
"It's not impossible for someone to accept you as an apprentice..."
(???)?
"!!"
"Really?"
"Thank you, Teacher Annie. I swear, I will study hard..."
Hearing that the little girl arcane archmage in front of him finally relaxed, Hain was ecstatic, and then he spoke with confidence, preparing to formally perform the apprenticeship ceremony.
"Stop it!"
?(ψ`╭╮′)o
"I haven't finished speaking yet!"
(?????)
Unfortunately, Annie directly stretched out her hand to stop the other party and added.
"ah?"
"Teacher Anne, please speak!"
Hai En did not dare to neglect, and quickly asked again cautiously.
"It's easy!"
(???)
"You have to answer some of their questions carefully. If your score reaches the passing mark or above, they will reluctantly accept you as an apprentice. But if you fail to do so, you will not come here in the future, and you will not be allowed to come again. Go around telling others that they are your teachers!”
?(ψ`▽′)o
Anne waved the parchment in her hand and said seriously.
Anyway, she would not tell the other party that she accidentally discovered this piece of paper when she wandered into the room of the great magician Jessica after dinner yesterday, and then took it to read, and now, she just used it to assess the situation in front of her. This stupid guy.
"Is it an assessment?"
"no problem!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely satisfy you!"
Hearing what was going on, Hain was startled for a moment, and then he assured loudly and energetically.
"Yeah?"
(lll¬▽¬)
It would be strange if the other party could satisfy Anne.
In fact, the other party's first impression alone made her give her a zero score and subconsciously eliminate her. If the other party hadn't insisted on stalking her, she would definitely not have even had the opportunity to do the assessment interview now.
However, now that she had decided, Anne didn't say anything more. She just pretended to be serious, sat down on the seat behind the desk, and began to take the piece of parchment and look at it carefully.
"Well!"
?(?????????)??????
"Listen carefully, are we going to start now?"
??(?? ̄? ̄)????
"yes!"
"Teacher Anne, please ask me!"
Hain was 100% alert, ready to go all out, striving to become the apprentice of the most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most... most powerful super arcane mage in front of him, and learn from it. A magic even more powerful than Pyroblast!
Just like...
Yesterday, the other party rescued a group of them and allowed them to teleport directly from the forest on the border to Karsus City through portal magic?
"Uh-huh!"
??(?? ̄? ̄)????
"First question: When commanding troops to replenish and transport supplies, how would you respond if you encounter a sneak attack by the enemy?"
☆?(o*?ω?)?
This question seemed to be used by Jessica to test whether Alvin was a qualified commander. Although she didn't know what the purpose was, Anne didn't care about it now. She only planned to modify it slightly and then take it directly. Come and use.
"Well……"
"I might get defensive?"
After frowning and thinking for more than ten seconds, Hain replied nervously.
"mistake!"
(??? 3?)
"When enemies attack you, of course you use magic to burn them. Otherwise, what are you learning magic for? Doesn't it look good?"
(ˉ▽ ̄~)Cut~~
Hearing the other party's answer, Annie didn't even think about it. She directly made a cross at the back of the first question with a quill and wrote the number '-3'.
The number of minus three means that the other party has lost three points of favorability from Queen Anne on the first question. Of course, her first choice for recruiting apprentices is favorability. As long as the favorability is enough, everything is easy to negotiate. She is willing to teach even a pig.
And if the favorability is not enough...
Sorry, even if the other person is a super genius who is rare to see in ten thousand years, such as a genius like Irena, a certain Xiao witch, she will definitely not teach him!
"ah?"
"this……"
"What you're teaching is, I understand, please continue!"
He was stunned for a while, and then Hain slapped his head. First he felt annoyed in his heart, and then he cheered up again.
"Um!"
(????)
"As for the second question, listen carefully: Do you think there is a God in the world? Where is He?!"
(???c)
"!!"
"Of course!"
"There is a goddess of light in the world. Her name is Lucilis. It is said that she lives in the divine realm in the sky!"
Hain had 100% confidence in this question, so he spoke out his answer confidently and waited for the answer excitedly.
"..."
?_?
"Wrong! Three points deducted!"
(?ˉωˉ?)
"!!"
"etc!"
"Why is it wrong?"
If the mistake in the question just now is excusable, then this question is obviously a question for giving points and is wrong, which definitely makes no sense.
The Goddess of Light exists. This matter is common knowledge to everyone in the entire continent, but the other party actually said it was wrong. This was something Hain couldn't accept, so he hurriedly protested loudly.
"Why?"
(???.???)????
"Don't you know yet?"
(*^▽^*)
"Arcane mages are all a group of lawless guys. They never believe that there is a god in the world. They only recognize that 'god' is a high-level energy body or other high-level existence. If given the chance, they would even dare to capture the god. Come slice it up for study or destroy it!"
o((*^▽^*))o
As she spoke, Anne drew a big cross on the opponent's second question with a swipe of her pen and deducted three points from the opponent.
"alright!"
o(′^`)o
"Now comes the third question. Listen carefully: What do you think is the most important thing in learning magic?"
く(^_?)ゝ
Before the other party could recover, Annie asked the third question.
Actually, the third question was originally an assessment of commanding troops, but Anne felt that it had nothing to do with learning magic, so she changed it temporarily.
"Well……"
"the most important……"
"Is it knowledge?"
After hesitating for a long time, and considering his own situation, Hain hesitantly gave an answer.
Because he himself suffered from not having more magic knowledge, so he studied everywhere, and with a low face, he begged the little girl in front of him, the arcane archmage.
"Alas!"
Σ(°△ °|||)︴
"I got the answer right..."
(??ω???‖)?
"But if you don't answer firmly enough, I'll just give you two points!"
(/^▽^)/
As she spoke, Annie reluctantly put a checkmark and the number '+2' on the edge of the third question.
"call!"
"Very good……"
Three questions were correct and one question was correct. Although he only barely scored two points, Hain breathed a sigh of relief. Then he cheered up again and planned to deal with the next questions well and try to lose the previous question. All points will be earned back.
"The fourth question..."
(∩▽∩)
"What do you like and what do you most hope to get?"
(*^▽^*)
Anne asked again.
"Favorite thing?"
"Well……"
Hain's mind instantly flashed to the pretty face of Liana, his childhood sweetheart who grew up with him, but soon, after thinking of Alvin, he shook his head vigorously and gave his answer:
"What I like most and what I want most is peace!"
"Yes, that's peace!"
"The war has brought too much harm to this land during this period. If possible, I hope peace can come soon."
Thinking about the horrific scenes of devastation after the invasion of the imperial army during this period, Hain thought for a long time, and finally said what he hoped for most.
"wrong!"
(′?︵?`)
"The favorite thing of an arcane mage is always the knowledge of arcane magic, and what he hopes for most is knowledge! Only with knowledge can he have power. With power, he can fight for peace or grab anything he likes. This kind of simplicity You answered all the questions wrong, so three points will be deducted!"
(ˉ▽ ̄~)Cut~~
Annie once again deducted three points from the opponent without any politeness at all.
This question is actually a scoring question. The other person got the previous question right, but he didn't expect that he got this question wrong. He is hopeless and really stupid.
"!!"
Hai En opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but in the end he was still speechless...
"Next course!"
(? ̄?  ̄?) Hehe!
"When the world is in danger of destruction, what do you think can save you?"
|???ω??)??
As she spoke, Anne also gave three optional answers, such as 'great god', 'rich knowledge', 'own power' and so on.
"ah……"
"yes……"
"Knowledge?"
Hain answered somewhat uncertainly.
Originally he wanted to answer God, but after thinking about the previous questions, he finally chose the second one.
As for the third one, he didn't even think about it. After all, he never thought that his own power could save the world.
"So cunning, forget it, I'll give you three points!"
ε=(′ο`*)))Alas
"Next course!"
?(ψ`▽′)o
"What is your impression of dark magic?"
?乛?乛?
"!!"
"Dark magic?"
"That kind of power is evil and must be abandoned. They have no value in existence!!"
Without even thinking about it, Hain got excited and quickly answered righteously.
"wrong!"
(?????)
"Power doesn't differentiate between light and dark, and there's no right or wrong, you idiot!!"
ε=(?ˇεˇ??))) Bah! !
Very simply, Annie once again deducted a full three points from the opponent on the question and answer sheet.
"ah?"
Hain opened his mouth wide and couldn't say a word.
…
So, the two of them just continued the assessment in the study room without closing the door, asking questions.
Half an hour later...
"Here!"
(σ???)σ..
"The assessment is over, your current score is..."
?(⊙?⊙)???
I scribbled a lot of data on the parchment paper, and then started to calculate.
"There are twenty questions in total, the full score is sixty points, and your final score is minus twenty-seven points, and passing is zero points. You are far from even passing. You are indeed an incorrigible fool!"
(??′?`?)?
"alright!"
(?╭╮?)
"You can go out now, you are not suitable to be an arcane mage!"
(??ˇεˇ??)
After speaking, Anne directly issued an eviction order and threw the parchment with extremely bad scores directly into the other party's arms.
"this……"
"Is it that bad?"
"..."
Alas~!
He had no choice but to feel that his self-esteem had been severely hit. In the end, Hain could only sigh sadly, then grabbed the piece of parchment, and like a zombie, he turned around in a daze and prepared to walk out of this room. The room took a huge hit.
"Hello!"
ヾ(⌒?⌒*)~?
At this time, Annie suddenly shouted again.
"!!"
"Teacher Anne, have you changed your mind?"
Hearing this, Hain suddenly turned his head excitedly and asked anxiously.
"No!"
(′?︵?`)
"I just want to say..."
(? ̄?? ̄??)?
"When you go out, remember to close the door!"
☆⌒(*^-゜)v!!
…
In a corridor in the Lord's Castle of Karsus City, Hain didn't even know how he got here.
Now he was in a very bad mood, especially after being rejected by a little girl after the assessment. Thinking about that miserable score, not to mention how depressed he was, so much so that he just squatted in a corner of the corridor and felt sorry for himself.
"Could it be..."
"Am I really not suitable to be a magician?"
"Woo..."
"Why is this happening?"
"Woo..."
After getting a bad grade in the exam and being rejected by an arcane archmage, Hain began to seriously doubt his ability, and vaguely had the idea of returning to his village to be an ordinary villager. .

"!!"
"Lady Jessica, the Great Magician?!"
Suddenly, Hain stood up suddenly, and looked at the legendary magician who appeared behind him with some anxiety and nervousness. .
"Hain..."
"exist!"
"Starting from tomorrow, come to me when you are free, and I will personally guide you in magic."
Jessica looked at Hain first.
After a long time, she suddenly said this to Hain.
"!!"
"You, you mean..."
"Will you teach me magic?"
"..."
"Yes."
"But!"
"Why, why?"
With his eyes widened, Hain was still a little unbelievable.
"It's very simple."
"I actually heard your conversation just now. I think your temperament should be very suitable for being my apprentice. How about it? Are you willing?"
As she said that, Jessica suddenly laughed.
No matter how you look at it, the trainee magician with Alvin in front of her meets her criteria for accepting a disciple, especially after she knows that he has a good relationship with Alvin and has completed the assessment of the little girl.
"ah?"
"!!"
"Of course I do!"
"Teacher Jessica, it's up to you!"
Hain was so excited that he almost jumped up on the spot.
You know, just now he was still feeling sorry for himself, but now he is better. Instead of the most, most, most, most, most, most... the most powerful little girl, the arcane archmage, as her teacher, she has the legend in front of her instead. It seems not bad to have Ms. Jessica, the great magician in the movie, as his teacher?
