"Really? Didn't I always rely on the recommendation of my tutor before? Why is it like this this time?"
"This is troublesome...the competition may be fierce..."
"Claire, what should I do?"
"What else can you do? The quota this time must be very special. Are you not confident in yourself?"
"Are you kidding me? I'm scared?"
…
All kinds of students had different reactions, and they were all shocked to a certain extent by the big news revealed by the dean. This was obviously a first-hand revelation, and no other channel could have informed them faster than this.
"What do you think? Wang Yu, Edward." Charles poured himself some juice happily and pretended to drink it, looking very much in need of a beating.
"I don't understand..." Wang Yu shook his head. He really didn't know how to react. This so-called explosive news was nothing to him.
"Well, after all, the Big Library is one of Stevenson's important resources. This closure will definitely have a huge impact. The college may also want to use this special opportunity to find a group of talents who can bring real progress to the college. .”
"Hmm... That makes sense, Aviya. So you, this group of students, have made a lot of money. You probably have the most resources poured into it." Charles put down his cup and said to Aviya.
"After all, most of the people in your college are either old or can't keep up with the times, haha." Ciel chuckled and leaned on the soft cushions of the bench. "
The dean's voice continued to be heard from all directions, "Very good then. Next is the first test. There is no danger. Try to unlock this magic model to obtain this qualification."
Along with the dean's words was a translucent luminous cube emerging from the ground in the center of the ballroom.
It doesn't look like a special cube, but if you look closely, you will find that there are unimaginably complex magic circuits on the surface, which are looming in the flow of energy.
"I'm going, pure magic body!" Ciel spurted out another sip of juice before it dried up. The direction was towards Edward, but he ducked his head and hid.
"The top material for magic engraving." Aviya reminded Wang Yu, a magic illiterate.
Since Aviya said it was top-notch, it seems that this thing must be extremely rare, so why did the dean give this thing to these students who are not famous and have little ability.
"This is a special enchantment magic circuit. It uses a sufficiently complex magic circuit to construct an independent space. It is very simple to break it, but all you have to do is use pure magic means to break this space.
"You can work as a team, and you can operate independently, but only one person can go up at a time. There is enough time for everyone to try, so let's get started."
As the dean finished speaking, some students who had been ready to make a move couldn't help it anymore and rushed forward quickly, but what stood in front of him were several other students who looked at him with unkind expressions.
"What do you want to do?" the student asked in a panic.
"Classmate...you'd better step back a little, otherwise don't blame us...uh!"
One of the students who gathered around him, who looked obviously very strong, had an unkind look on his face, and his words were even more rude. His fists made a clicking sound under his force, and his threatening tone was palpable.
Before he could finish speaking, an invisible wall was suddenly built in front of him, and his advancing body hit it. It wasn't too hard, but the sound it made was still painful.
"Let me tell you, this method is not welcome in our college. Everyone must have the opportunity to try it. You can rank it, but if you dare to use threats or violence to hinder others, get out of this college now, researcher. , people like you are not welcome."
The dean's voice sounded again, warning all students who were preparing to use force to stop others. Some of the guards around the nobles retreated angrily.
It was obvious that the combat power of these servants who were brought in as attendants could definitely overwhelm the large number of students present. If force was really to be used, they might have to be given every opportunity.
"It's not bad. I like this dean. It's much better if he doesn't do these empty things than the messy ones." Charles nodded and gave the dean a high evaluation in surprise.
"I agree."
"Um"
Under the dean's suppression, the students' petty thoughts were quickly suppressed, and they consciously began to line up and form small groups. Since the detour was blocked, they had no choice but to bite the bullet.
With the strong physiques of Edward and Wang Yu, Aviya successfully moved to a relatively high position and was staring at the magic cube thoughtfully.
The student who was blocked first and then rescued by the principal had already started to solve the problem.
The magic power of the wand in his hand surges, and he walks backwards little by little according to the magic circuit. This magic circle is nothing but complex. The overlapping and unimaginably complicated magic circuits test the students' various knowledge reserves. Once they are not familiar with it, Some kind of structure, probably...
Less than half a minute later, sweat suddenly appeared on the forehead of the nervous student. The cracking movement in his hand stagnated and slowed down, and a hesitant expression appeared on his face.
As he pauses, the magic power he depicts begins to dissipate. If he doesn't start quickly, the overflowing magic power will disrupt the entire circuit and cause a collapse.
Gritting his teeth, he randomly found a direction to draw, but he made a mistake. In an instant, because it was different from the original magic circuit, the circuit he drew conflicted with the circuit on the cube. The magic power collided, like glass breaking, and his magic model collapsed directly. .
"Alas..." Shaking his head, the guy walked down from the side of the cube and sat helplessly aside. However, his attempt did not even deal with the outermost layer of the cube.
"This guy can't do it." Ciel started complaining as usual.
"How about you try."
"Uh, uh, uh, well, you know I'm not good at this kind of theoretical operation. I'm better at practical combat. This doesn't make sense, right." Ciel began to hesitate.
Obviously, this guy is not good at this. He just looked at the cube intently, and Wang Yu didn't believe it until he saw something.
As the first student failed, the other student behind him went there voluntarily, very similar to the first student. It started smoothly, but after about a minute he started to hesitate, probably because he encountered an unfamiliar structure.
He bravely tried one direction, and was lucky enough not to make any mistakes. He breathed a sigh of relief and continued to solve the problem. The second time he was not familiar with it, he was not so lucky. One wrong attempt directly shattered the first layer of the structure he had built. .
"How are you? Are you confident?" Wang Yu glanced at Aviya, who was looking at the cube intently.
"At present, the structure from one to five levels is not too complicated. The difficulty should be the special structure after the fifth level that mixes the wizard's circle and some other runes."
"The structures of the outer layers are found in ordinary classics. The structures of the subsequent layers are mixed with a lot of raw and cold knowledge. If I rely on knowledge alone, I may not be able to handle it. There are many structures that I have never seen before, but they are so subtle. "
"Well, these structures seem to be related to each other. Wang Yu, your mathematical knowledge is of great help. As long as I can master and know two of the three consecutive structures, or I can know five of the eight, I will be able to continue To deduce the next structure, well, as for the inside, I may have to continue reading..."
Wang Yu scratched his head and didn't know what was said. He couldn't understand, not at all. Really... Aviya had already started to solve the next level when others hadn't solved it. This kind of talent is terrifying. .
Looking back at Charles, Wang Yu thought that this guy would make some comments again, but this guy stared at Aviya who was deep in thought with a surprised look on his face. Well, it seems that people who know how to deal with it should be punished. The shock is even greater.
The standards of the following students began to rise. Although there were some students who could not even complete the first level, more of them were able to continue to crack the lower levels until they encountered something they could not solve at a deeper level and failed.
Because the dean did not explain to what extent he would be qualified, he could only continue to solve it.
At the same time, students also began to discover the benefits of playing last. By observing the previous student, they could get information very well, and it would be much more convenient to do it themselves.
This is the game in between. Everyone tries their best to solve more problems, but they don’t know what level they need to pass, so they can only try their best to solve them.
There are only so many qualifications. If you play for the sake of observation, you may lose the opportunity because all the qualifications have been obtained. Only those with truly great ability don't have to worry about these. I have to say that this method of selecting qualifications is better than using random and dirty methods. It's much better to use means to compete.
Aviya's position is ninth. She doesn't have to worry about her qualifications being taken away. All she has to do is try her best to crack it.
As the sixth student cracked the structure of the fifth layer, the difficulty of this test really showed. The students who were successful at first disappeared when facing the various unpopular and complicated structures after the fifth layer. The previous calmness, with a wrong portrayal, all the results were wiped out.
The seventh student is a guy who looks a little sloppy. He doesn't take care of himself carefully. His curly hair is messy and the clothes he wears are limp. However, the noble emblem on his body also declares the identity of this guy. Simple.
"Hey, little Daniel, I haven't seen him for a long time since old Daniel died. He's just like his father!" Charles said this guy's name, and it seemed he was someone with status.
Little Daniel started cracking as soon as he came on stage. The first five layers were cracked very quickly. In one stroke, the model was quickly completed, and the cracking after the fifth layer soon began.
It was obvious that the structure after the fifth layer was not simple for little Daniel. His strokes slowed down, but they still continued. Every time he hesitated when he seemed to not know how to start, he actually did it correctly.
This sloppy aristocratic student began to penetrate into the cube little by little. The surrounding sounds also stopped, and he patiently watched the student crack the cube.
Stroke by stroke, slowly but correctly, the size of the cube is getting smaller and smaller, which shows that little Daniel is approaching the core of the cube. The smaller it is, the more he has cracked.
Moving forward steadily, he solved bit by bit. Seeing that the size of the cube was no more than the size of a fist, and he could completely crack it with more effort, little Daniel stopped, shook his head helplessly, and walked down, causing a burst of joy from within. sighs and applause.
"True genius!"
"It's too strong. Those magic circuits after the fifth floor must be active circuits. Damn it, it's useless to remember them now."
"He should have reached the standard, but why did he come down? I think he can continue."
"He has no magic power anymore, feel it."
"It's a pity, it's so exciting. This kind of performance of deconstructing magic runes may be more helpful to me than the instructor's lectures."
Most of the students were amazed at little Daniel's performance. They were true scholars, and their thirst for magical knowledge made them put aside their jealousy at this moment, express respect for Daniel's performance, and feel sorry for his failure.
But some people's faces turned ugly. These students gathered together and copied something with their pens. If you read it, you will find that it is the corresponding magic structure of the first five floors.
Most of these students are nobles, and their connections and resources are unmatched by others. They can recruit more people to help them analyze. The first five floors are no problem, but the activity circuits of the last five floors are destined to make it impossible for them to get through this. This solution relies on analysis, which makes them extremely irritated.
"Wang Yu, I may not be able to solve it either." Aviya shook her head, feeling a little regretful.
"My magic power is not enough. Like this little Daniel, my magic power should be slightly more than his, but it is not enough. Unlocking the huge amount of runes at the back requires not only knowledge but also enough magic power to complete the carvings."
"It's okay, it's up to me!" Charles jumped out again and interrupted.
He took out a tarot card from his sleeve like magic, turned it over and over, and pressed it in his hand.
"Guess what?"
"Upright position, moon."
Wang Yu didn't give him a chance to show off. It was impossible for his dynamic vision to see clearly this pure magic technique without magic.
"That's right, let's give it to Aviya as a reward. With this tarot card, it can continuously deliver magic power to you." Charles didn't suffer from any illness again and took this tarot card with the moon engraved on it. The card was handed to Aviya.
"Thank you, Mr. Charles." Aviya took it and thanked her sincerely.
"It's okay, this is all a gift from fate." The serious words could not hide the trembling corners of his mouth.
Wang Yu nodded, well, the dean said, teamwork, this is also teamwork.
The eighth student successfully cracked the first five layers, but he did not perform very well when faced with the extremely complex structures at the back. As soon as he solved two of them, the magic power overflowed and the structure collapsed due to the delay in continuing to carve.
It was Aviya's turn. Wang Yu, Edward and Charles gave Aviya a thumbs up. Seeing Aviya on the stage, Wang Yu was still very confident in the girl.
Aviya walked to the front of the cube, and as she got closer, she was able to observe it more carefully.
"It is similar to what I observed before. It is indeed an outer fixed circuit and an internal cyclically changing active circuit. As long as I can master most of them and learn to calculate, it will be no problem. With the help of Mr. Charles, my magic power reserve should be enough to complete the task. This time it’s cracked.”
The girl thought very quickly, observed a little, and was immediately ready to take action.
"What is this? I was too far away to observe carefully before. These runes seem to be a whole? Well, there are many gaps? Our reverse carving seems to be just filling it. If it is filled, it will be completed successfully, and then Will it connect this magic source and this ending?"
"Let me assume the effect of completion? Such a large structure is just to connect these two points? No, there are many sub-nodes, well, they appear on the fifth layer, and then there are several subsequent layers, which are more densely distributed. , the nodes of these activities are to detect the cracking progress and give scores?"
"Then what if I directly connect the nodes without caring about the whole... It's feasible, it's absolutely feasible, then come on, you don't have to complete them all, then the last one seems to be connected to something... Solving it should trigger something, let's forget it, then solve it to the countdown The second one is better.”
In a flash of thought, it only took a few seconds to discover the essence of this magical structure and start building it.
Aviya moved the structure a few times, but just after cracking the fourth level, she made a "mistake" and the entire magic structure collapsed.
Seeing Aviya calmly walking off the stage, Wang Yu shook his head. It was a pity, but everyone makes mistakes, so it's okay.
The muttering beside him made Wang Yu look back.
Ciel's eyes flashed with shock, and he said unconsciously, "This... is a true genius."
In the crowd in the distance, little Daniel lowered his head and fell into deep thought. Then he suddenly raised his head and looked towards Wang Yu, his eyes full of incredible...
