4. Princess, sword, entrance ceremony (18)
Sighing in a mature tone that didn't fit her age, Venia turned her face sideways and stared at Tristan.
"Is that good?"
"Huh?"
"Don't play dumb, you should know that. The written test ends in such a state, and what will become of the next practical skills test? ”
Practical skills test.
Under the premise that it is strictly forbidden to use magic props and hurt people, the attack and defense of magic are carried out between the examinee and the examiner. Tests like this show the candidate's magical attributes, physiognomy, and skill mastery. Gloria signed up for the knight department, plus one more thing, the sophistication of martial arts.
The Practical Skills Exam, as it sounds, is not opportunistic.
If Roland applied for the knight subject, a subject where the martial arts score was higher than the magic score, there would be no problem in the martial arts examination school, but he applied for the magic ......
Roland, who has always used magic props, can he pass the exam?
"You're worrying too much, miss. ”
Tristan crossed his fingers and glanced at Roland's test area.
"If it is said that before the age of 16, Her Royal Highness who already has the strength of a quasi-pentagonal magician is a genius who will only appear among 400,000 people. That Roland is one of the 500 such geniuses. For him, beating those four-sided, pentagonal examiners is as easy as eating. ”
"It's just that the examiners will be upset, and it may affect his rating. ”
Parsifal grimaced, and Tristan rarely didn't correct him, but the corners of his mouth curled up helplessly.
"There's a limit to joking!"
Venia stood up, and her angry shouts attracted the sideways glances of the other guests, and under the gaze of many strange eyes, the little lady sat back in her seat. After the focused gaze cleared, Venia spoke again.
"No matter how powerful a genius he is, he will never reach the 6 level before the age of 16!"
The low questioning was unequivocal. There is undeniable toughness in it.
The only way to defeat a mage is to have a higher level of strength than him, or hundreds, or thousands of times the numerical advantage. There is no other way.
In Wilt, this is the law of absolutes.
Just as apples fall to the ground when ripe, and tangible things eventually destroy them, it is an eternal truth.
Roland may have a world-class talent. But talent must also go through painstaking and long practice, study, and experience before it can blossom and bear fruit. The gap between years and experience cannot be bridged by talent alone.
"Of course that guy isn't a six-level magician. At this age, the kind of achievement that exists only in fairy tales and fantasies. ”
"Then you ......"
"Miss, I'll give you a proverb. [An invincible giant may also die at the hands of a shepherd boy.] Self-righteous people who stick to past experience and don't know how to be flexible end up badly. ”
Tristan smiled meaningfully, and Parsifal gave a strange expression.
It's impossible to figure out what they're selling. She didn't think he was lying, so Venia remained silent.
"It's too troublesome to say, I'll go to the scene later, and after seeing the guy's fighting style, I'll naturally understand. ”
Attention to the awkwardness that matches age. It was only then that I discovered the cuteness of the little girl. Tristan finally unloaded the adult's template and sent out an invitation.
What he said was not entirely a lie, and the statements such as "Magician Specializing in Magicians" and "Magician Hunter" couldn't be explained for a while. Only by letting them see it with their own eyes can they deeply understand it.
The stereotype that a magician's rank determines victory or defeat is long overdue.
Vinya's fantasies will be shattered by Roland.

"Damn! Damn! Damn!!"
In the dark alley where the sun can't shine, a man screams loudly and kicks over the garbage can, the wild cat hiding in it falls down with all kinds of debris, the black kitten screams and escapes, a piece of gravel grabs its tail in a thrilling way, and the cat screams and disappears around the corner of the alley.
The man didn't stop there, everything that came into view was kicked away, and iron buckets, broken bowls, and pieces of paper flew into the air.
Full of pride and ambition, with the expectations of his family, he left his hometown with the promise of his beloved girl. I finally passed the guò written exam and squeezed into the practical skills exam. As a result, the rules were abruptly changed, the old practice of student-to-student competition was reverted, and then he was placed in a priority where no one wanted to go.
"Bastard, only the future of you sons of great nobles is the future, and the future of us strangers is so worthless?!"
No one can hear, can't see, can vent anger in the dark alleys. The young man staggered against the wall, slid down the cold wall, and finally sat down on the ground, gasping for air.
Everyone knows who is behind the sudden change of rules, and they know who is the strongest opponent in this form of magical competition.
couldn't beat and didn't dare to challenge the princess, and the candidate with a big aristocratic family background immediately thought of a solution - let the guy who didn't like it compete with the princess.
It not only reduces competitors, but also does not have to take the risk of offending the princess, which can be described as a perfect strategy.
The heir of an unknown nobleman from the countryside has thus become a stepping stone for others, a spiritual vent for Her Royal Highness.
The anxiety and frustration in my heart turned into a whimper, and the anger that had nowhere to vent was swallowed up by despair. The young man held his head in his hands, his face pressed against his bent knees.
What to do? Defeat the princess? Not to mention the risk of committing the following crimes, the huge gap in strength is enough to destroy this idea. Even though he was recognized as a talented man in his hometown, among the elite-filled royal capital, the bloodline of magicians that had lasted for only three generations, and the poor self-esteem of the young man were not worth mentioning.
So is it going home? But that's no different from going back after the defeat. The people in his hometown will also look at him with disappointment and disdain, because he fled without a fight, and maybe there is contempt waiting for him.
You can't go in, and you can't go back. Caught in the cruel reality, the young man cried silently.
"Are you in any trouble? ”
In the alley without any bystanders, a seemingly happy inquiry descended from his head. Without bothering to wipe the snot and tears from his face, the young man raised his face.
A man in a white suit and round red glasses was bending down and smiling at him, two tufts of dull hair on his forehead that shook like the tentacles of a household pest.
"I want you to take care of it, get out of ...... Fuck off!!"
Even though the feelings of youth are low, they are not naïve enough to jump into the pit that is too suspicious. Moreover, the way this man appeared silently also made him feel extremely disgusted.
"Don't say that, sir. ”
The gesture of driving away flashed sideways, and the mysterious man trembled and dazed, offering a temptation that the young man could not resist with great sincerity.
"Even if it's a wish like [defeating the princess], [impressing everyone], and [becoming a great magician], as a distributor, I can help you realize it. ”
The young man stopped his movements and stared blankly at the strangely dressed man in front of him.
The man who called himself a pyramid schemer grinned, and in the dark, the outline of that smile looked like an insect biting its prey.
"Sign a contract with you, and your wish will come true soon. (To be continued.) )
