Elite Mages’ Academy Chapter 60: The origin of the monthly exam

The setting sun has completely fallen below the horizon, and only a few burning clouds are still floating on the horizon.

"Before then, let me give you a little bit of science." Song Junlang pondered for a moment, weighing his words, and said: "The sun rises in the east, the flowers fades and the flowers bloom, birth, aging, sickness and death... These natural laws are sufficient. Called the law, we are already familiar with these laws on Earth, so we take it for granted. When the pioneer set foot on the world of Norma, unexpectedly discovered that when the power is strong to a certain level, these laws and laws can be forcibly changed. Of course. , It is extremely difficult to change the law, and it will even cost an unbearable heavy price. At present, the only people who know the successful change of the law are the predecessors who created the law of immortality for colonists all over the world."

"Then what is the flaw of the law of immortality?" Xiao Lin asked.

"Don’t you already know the flaws? True immortality is impossible to achieve. This law only gives colonists a chance to resurrect. Only 20 years of lifespan will be deducted for death."

"Wait!" Xiao Lin hurriedly stopped Minister Song, and said strangely: "Isn't it said that death deducts 10 years of life, why is it 20 years?"

Song Junlang helplessly: "Wait for me to finish talking...I'm talking about in the Norma world. Although it is impossible to achieve true immortality, this law is enough to allow us to colonize other worlds and fight against native natives. Has a great advantage... Until later everyone discovered that the law is not only effective in the Norma world. On the earth, in the Dawn Academy, and even when we conduct simulation exercises, which is the so-called exam, the law of death deducting life expectancy is still valid. ! For everyone, even the predecessors who created this law back then, this is an unexpected result."

After a moment of silence, Xiao Lin tried to digest these amazing information, such as the rules, which are very far away to him, and asked: "So how about erasing the imprint? Temporarily erasing it during the simulated war. Isn’t it enough for branding?"

Minister Song smiled bitterly: "How can it be so simple, when freshmen enter the physical examination, they will actually be automatically engraved with the soul imprint. Anyone who has this imprint will take effect. But this kind of soul imprint only has a lifetime If an opportunity is erased, it will never be re-engraved. So those who are driven back to the earth, even if they may return in the future, they have only one chance of life."

Xiao Lin is still puzzled: "Then why do we have to take the exam?"

Song Junlang said: "When this amazing result was first discovered, Dawn Academy immediately terminated all mock exams in order to protect the students who had not graduated. However, more than ten years later, the loss of the Academy in the New World has increased. , Even the limited water of life, has gradually been unable to keep up with the rate of life loss, especially at that time Dawn Academy was in a war with the orcs, and many people died!"

"Dead?"

"Yes, it is real death! This is ridiculous. After possessing the resurrection law, Dawn Academy has paid more casualties for this!" Song Junlang shook his head and sighed: "After the war with the orcs According to the statistics of casualties, it was found that more than 70% of the dead were students who enrolled after the mock examination was terminated. As for the reason, I think you should be able to guess it."

Xiao Lin smiled bitterly: "Is there a gap between recruits and veterans?"

"Yes, the biggest casualties in the war are always recruits. Everyone knows this common sense, but no one wants to mention it before that. Those who have trained in the academy for a few years seem to have just stepped out of the ivory tower. , They are just students, not even soldiers! Even if there is a chance of resurrection, they will quickly squander their lifespan without the slightest combat experience, and eventually die in the hands of the orcs."

Speaking of this, the expression on Minister Song's face is also slightly heavy: "Since that war, Dawn Academy has officially restored the simulated exercise system, which is commonly known as the monthly exam. Died in simulated battles and died in the new world. There is no difference in itself, not to mention that the Dawn Academy is located in an independent space, and the influence of the law is not as strong as in the Norma World. Only 10 years of health will be deducted for a death here, and 20 years will be deducted for death in the Norma World. Life!"

The cool breeze hit, and the last afterglow of the setting sun was also submerged in the darkness. As night fell, two moons, one large and one small, rose into the night sky.

After hearing about the origin of the monthly exam, Xiao Lin was in a complicated mood. When he came back, the night was already dark. He smiled bitterly. At this time, the dormitory must be locked.

"Spend the night with me!" Song Junlang got up, patted the dirt on his body, and smiled: "I can't help you in the exam tomorrow. After all, it's just like I said, I die once or twice now. It’s better than going to the new world to die in the future."

"I understand." Xiao Lin also sighed.

"But I can give you some advice." Minister Song turned his head, thought for a while, and said, "This exam has reduced the difficulty in order to take care of the freshmen. As far as I know, most of the enemies you have to face You don’t know how to use any skills, but your own strength is still too low after all, and the difficulty will increase because of this! The most important thing is that many of you have no experience, and the pig teammates are sometimes more terrifying than the opponents of the gods."

"Remember that the core of the mission is reconnaissance, not combat! Head-on conflict must be avoided. Even if the enemy's strength is greatly reduced, it is not what you can fight now. This is the key to life preservation."

"The assessment of this task is comprehensive strength, wisdom and teamwork. If the tactics are proper, you don’t even need to fight at all. I think the students will put this difficulty map first for freshmen out of this consideration. The next month’s exam. The map should be watched carefully and memorized carefully. In fact, the map can be posted. This time the difficulty has been reduced by at least half."

"Didn't you say that you didn't take the test in this simulation?" Xiao Lin couldn't help but muttered~IndoMTL.com~Song Junlang touched his nose and said angrily: "Ah, I haven't taken the test, but This was a classic battle in the United States. When I was a guest at the Adjudicator Academy, people over there repeatedly babbled about this battle for almost a week in my ears. It’s hard to forget it."

"Thank you!" Xiao Lin was slightly moved. It was enough for him to be able to say this.

Song Junlang waved his hand and murmured as he walked: "If you die, where can you find such an obedient experimental candidate in the future."

……

He declined the diet meal offered by Minister Song. Xiao Lin was ready to go to bed very early in the evening, but he tossed and turned and found it difficult to fall asleep. Minister Song's words gave him too much shock and thought. Lying in bed, he thought a lot, about himself, about the new world, about Gu Xiaoyue, and about the first mock monthly exam.

This night, he lost sleep again.

The exam started at 8 o’clock in the morning. Xiao Lin, who suffered from insomnia for most of the night, woke up at 7 o’clock. He still firmly rejected the strange breakfast prepared by Minister Song, and went back to the dormitory to take away his dagger and After the new staff, he came to the public classroom of Class 7 early.

There have been ten or twenty people in the classroom, many of them with big dark circles. It seems that Xiao Lin is not the only person who suffers from insomnia this day. Under the pressure of death and deduction of lifespan, everyone appears Very nervous, everyone is communicating around, trying to calm down emotions by talking.

Xiao Lin silently moved into the corner, put the weapon on the table, took out the distributed data map, and looked at it carefully. According to the monthly examination system, these data cannot be brought into the actual combat environment. It means that he has to use his brain to quickly memorize the rough topographical map of the canyon. ) Book friends hurry up and pay attention!
