There were only Haruhiko and Hoshino Rin in the classroom or examination room.
This is normal.
There are not many psykers in the first place, and there are only twelve classes in the entire school.
There are only a handful of first-class students who can reach the second level.
And even fewer people apply at the same time.
However, testing does not require any consumption of manpower and material resources, so it doesn’t matter.
"The theoretical exam has officially begun."
The middle-aged man glanced back and forth between the two people and said, "There are no other requirements. Cheating is prohibited. If you are caught, you will not be able to take the exam again within three years."
The cost of cheating is not big, but not small either.
If it is delayed for three years, it will have a big impact on many psychics.
Unless it's a big family, it doesn't matter.
Haruhiko opened the test paper, which was not much different from the usual school test papers.
The difficulty level is moderate, and there are no weird questions to make things difficult.
He picked up his pen and began to answer.
The questions are all related to psykers.
The scope is relatively wide, ranging from the four major professions to various sub-professions.
But the main thing is the priest.
Two hours later, the exam ended.
The middle-aged man put away the two test papers and said, "The next level is in the school gymnasium, let's go."
Haruhiko and Hoshino Rin followed him out of the classroom and soon arrived at the indoor basketball court of the gymnasium.
Usually there are people playing ball, but today because of the exam, the cordon was temporarily raised.
Without waiting for the middle-aged man's introduction, Haruhiko's eyes were attracted by the doll placed in the center of the venue.
There are seven dolls in total, all 1.7 meters tall, wearing lightweight black kendo training uniforms and holding two wooden swords in their hands.
The appearance of the doll is very different from that of humans, and the texture of metal is clearly visible.
It's an ordinary doll.
But it is more than enough for testing second-level psykers.
"Kendo Doll."
The middle-aged man stopped and said, "They were programmed. Seven people formed a sword dance formation."
The sword dance formation was born out of the magic formation.
It is a magic circle exclusively used by swordsmen.
Simply put, it is a specific number of people operating according to a prescribed trajectory to exert greater power.
"This is the second level of the Miyamoto family's famous sword dance formation, called the Five-Run Sword Dance."
The middle-aged man smiled and continued to introduce, "The conditions for passing the level are to survive five rounds of attacks, provided that the use of first-level spiritual tools and spells is allowed."
The Miyamoto clan is a famous swordsman family in Japan.
His ancestor Miyamoto Musashi is the most powerful swordsman in history.
In the game, because he encountered Hayate controlled by Haruhiko in the first game, he was ranked second.
Miyamoto Musashi was the founder of Niten-ryu, also known as Nitō-ryu, who was good at using large swords and small swords.
Before his death, he compiled what he had learned throughout his life into "The Book of Five Rings" and passed it on to future generations.
This is apparently where the Five Wheels Sword Dance got its name.
"Of course, there are still conditions for clearance."
The middle-aged man chuckled and said, "That is to break the formation, but for second-level psykers, it is almost impossible."
Hoshino Rin nodded.
The five-wheel sword dance is quite famous.
Those who can crack it are high-level psychics or rare geniuses.
The middle-aged man's meaning was very clear. The second-level psyker was helpless and could only forcefully hold out for time.
But Haruhiko really knows how to crack it.
In the first week, he fought against Miyamoto Musashi.
Relying on game plug-ins, he won this talented swordsman.
He is relatively familiar with Ertian Yiyi.
In addition, he also broke through five rounds of sword dance.
However, the first game is a game after all, and it is a completely different experience from reality.
Haruhiko doesn't know if the relevant cracking techniques will be useful.
If not, just survive five rounds of attacks.
Although it was a bit troublesome, he was still confident.
As for what is exposed, there is no need to worry.
He now has a great backer, Tsuchimikado Mashiro.
And cracking the five-wheeled sword dance, although it is surprising, is still within the acceptable range.
"Hoshino Rin-san comes first."
The middle-aged man said casually.
Haruhiko heard this and retreated to the sidelines.
Hoshino Rin is the eldest lady of Izumo Shrine, so it stands to reason that she knows how to crack it.
But it doesn't matter if she doesn't know. With her strength, she can break it by force.
Hoshino Rin walked to the center of the basketball court.
She took out the Kagura bell.
The seven dolls immediately trembled and were activated like robots.
The sound of unsheathing was heard in unison.
The next second, seven unsheathed swords were seen, radiating cold light, cutting down Hoshino Rin in an orderly manner.
This is the first round of attacks.
In kendo terms, it's called the Iai Slash.
Hoshino Rin stood there without any panic.
Kagura bells make a sweet sound.
Around her, spiritual energy turned into shining meteors, spinning rapidly, forming a 360-degree protective barrier.
The tinkling tinkling sound continued.
Seven knives were struck at the barrier, but all failed.
But the barrier has reached its limit and is crumbling.
The puppets retreated and quickly changed positions.
Seven swords came from all directions.
Covered in spiritual energy, it is extremely sharp.
For a moment, it seemed like a flower in full bloom.
Hoshino Rin did not resist.
She looks like a butterfly, moving through the sword dance formation, almost wiping her edge while walking.
But when she stopped, she had completely avoided this attack.
"As expected of the eldest lady of Izumo Shrine."
The middle-aged man praised with a smile.
Haruhiko ignored it.
He was watching the changes in the sword dance formation, and then discovered that it was exactly the same as in the game.
Dog planning, there is something.
"Here comes the real killer move."
After a moment, the middle-aged man said again.
Round five.
The seven dolls drew the second knife.
With an extra knife, not only the attack range is increased, but the speed and strength are also greatly improved.
In an instant, the entire place was filled with cold light.
The fourteen knives were like fourteen rapidly rotating windmills, blocking all directions of Hoshino Rin.
The middle-aged man was ready to take action, with a faint spiritual energy lingering outside his body.
At this moment, an image of a miko appeared above Rin Hoshino.
She opened her bow and fired quickly, and the fourteen arrow feathers accurately hit the fourteen knives.
The huge force made the puppet unable to hold the knife and let it fly out.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man murmured to himself: "The special twin inheritance of Izumo Shrine is indeed well-deserved."
Haruhiko subconsciously raised his head and glanced at him.
Twin inheritance?
The connection between Hoshino Rin and Hoshino Hotaru is unusual.
"Five minutes and eleven seconds."
The middle-aged man exclaimed, "Among the second-level psychics who have taken entrance tests in the past, he is enough to rank in the top fifty."
Just the first fifty?
Haruhiko was a little stunned.
But thinking about the first fifty years in history is scary enough.
"Haruhiko-kun, it's your turn next."
Hoshino Rin was quite satisfied with this result. She smiled and said, "Whether you can surpass me depends on how long you take this time."
Haruhiko always found this sentence a bit strange.
He would have had less time to answer me.
But something didn't feel right, so he walked to the center of the venue without saying anything.
The seven dolls picked up the swords again and returned to their previous positions.
