Meet the principal

The commotion in the morning had subsided, and the magic rune exam in the afternoon was uneventful.

In Reiner's words, magic runes are equivalent to a foreign language test. The common language in this world is a language called Serafino. In terms of pronunciation and vocabulary and grammar, it is close to English or English on Earth. Languages ​​such as German have thirty-seven letters. Each word is composed of several letters and contains multiple tense changes. Most words are derived from affixes.

Magic runes are a language created by mages in ancient times to cast spells. There are twenty-four types of runes in total. Different from common language, each rune represents a complete meaning and a combination of runes. Not words, but more like mantras.

In a conventional classical magic circle, runes, magic nodes and magic tracks together constitute a complete magic. In fact, if you trace the source, the basis of the magic model is magic runes. His Excellency Herman Braggs transformed a The runes were deconstructed into a combination of magic trajectories and nodes, and the originally mysterious magic was promoted to the public.

Although many magics now do not necessarily rely on magic runes to cast, and even people who do not understand magic runes can use magic normally, but if you want to interpret ancient documents to draw inspiration, or try to navigate among the vast number of ancient ruins This discipline is necessary to dig out treasures.

Reiner has a good memory and understanding. The magic rune test does not pose any threat to him. In fact, when he completed the entire test paper and checked it again, he still had more than forty left in the two-hour test. minute.

Of course, Reiner would not do any overly conspicuous behavior such as handing in papers in advance or lying down to sleep. He honestly waited until the bell rang at the end of the exam before allowing the invigilator to take away the papers.

Perhaps the incident at noon had spread, and the invigilator looked at Reiner with a strange look, as if he was not a candidate but an important guest, and even his actions became much more respectful.

Back at the hotel, several people from Crescent College enjoyed dinner together. The students exchanged their exam experiences. Judging from the content of the discussion, Fina, the top student, should be able to obtain good scores without any suspense. Leya and Eureka They were pretty good on this memorization-oriented liberal arts exam, but their weaknesses were faction knowledge and actual spellcasting. It would depend on their performance tomorrow.

What is surprising is Dana. After checking her answers, she is almost the same as Fina. Although this student was already good at basic knowledge, this result is also surprising.

As for Reiner, he didn't participate in the discussion because it wasn't necessary.

After a peaceful night's sleep, the next day's exam officially kicked off.

After the shock of the first day, today, most of the boys in the examination room have adapted to Crescent College's eye-catching sailor uniforms and short skirts. There are even a few bold ones who come over to strike up a conversation and try to ask for their names and contact information.

Of course, these little devils were all driven away by Claire.

The exam in the morning was a comprehensive test, a test paper that included questions from all factions. Apprentices could choose to take two of the subjects. Of course, no more points would be awarded for writing more.

In fact, in addition to testing more in-depth knowledge of each faction, this exam can also test each student's ability to judge and analyze.

The questions in these exams are all written based on general education at the apprenticeship stage. That is to say, as long as the subject is not too serious or the subject is unable to be studied due to school reasons, the apprentices will have the capital to answer the questions.

The difficulty of each subject in each exam is not uniform. It may be that these subjects are difficult this time, or they may be easier this time. Therefore, conventional test-taking strategies require students to master at least 90% of at least three subjects. knowledge, during the exam, after reviewing the questions, choose the two easiest ones to answer.

For talented people, no matter how difficult the question is, they can get full marks.

For apprentices with solid basic skills and good judgment, they can get higher scores by choosing simple subjects.

I am afraid that only apprentices with poor foundations will be troubled by this model and find it difficult to deal with it.

Reiner chose the two factions of alchemy and law. Most of the alchemy questions were analytical experiments and design experiments. Since Reiner's law of conservation of mass has not yet become popular, there are almost no questions involving reaction calculations. As long as you are familiar with alchemy, As an apprentice, it's easy to get high scores.

The law system is just the opposite. Due to the leadership of Isaris Eberton, the spell applications in the law system are more mathematically inclined, including almost all questions related to spell models. Since it involves a lot of calculations, many apprentices have to give first place to them. You will give up immediately.

But in Reiner's view, these physics problems, which are at most high school level, are simply not easy. As a physics teacher on Earth, he only needs to move his fingers to solve such problems without any effort.

Precisely because of this, the way Reiner scribbled furiously on the law department test questions also attracted the attention of the invigilator.

The male invigilator named Louis inspected the examination room, and then came to Reiner's side. He casually glanced at Reiner's test paper, only to find that the large blanks under the major topic of the law department had been filled to the brim in an orderly manner. The calculations and formulas are arranged neatly like a beautiful paper, and if you pay a little attention, you will find that the derivation process is well-founded and the answers are concise and beautiful.

This made Louis couldn't help but nod in admiration. It seemed that the youngest Hohenheim Gold Cup winner in history was well-deserved and his basic knowledge was quite solid.

Reiner naturally knew that the invigilator was standing by his side, but this did not affect his answer at all. Reiner wrote very quickly, and the sound of constantly turning the test papers made the apprentice sitting next to him feel stressed. In addition, the invigilator Standing nearby all this time caused all the candidates in this area to break out in cold sweat.

The two-hour exam time passed quickly. After Reiner checked twice, the bell finally rang. He put down his pen and stretched, looking leisurely and contented.

"Dana, how are you feeling?"

Reiner was naturally concerned about the condition of his students.

"Well, I chose the element and law system, so I should get eighty points without any problem."

Dana was now different from the student who had a lot of headaches with calculations in the past. A spontaneous temperament lingered around this girl. Combined with the short skirt she was wearing, it was very dazzling, making several boys next to her stare. .

"Get ready, the magic test in the afternoon is the real challenge."

Reiner smiled and reminded.

"Yeah, I'll try my best."

Dana nodded and smiled slightly.
