Greetings, Mister Principal: Preparation for the magic test

Leiner couldn't move for a moment, and he didn't relax until the other party raised his paw and licked it.

It's the little wild cat.

The kitten licked its paws very carefully, from the pink pads to the light yellow hair on the back of its paws. From time to time, it also wiped its head with the back of its paws, as if it was washing its face.

Reiner just stood there quietly watching it finish washing, and then looked towards him.

"Ouch——"

It barked and looked around, seemingly looking for Reiner's midnight snack.

"I have nothing to eat today."

Reiner shrugged, the weather was getting hotter and he didn't like eating greasy food in the middle of the night, and the only apple tonight had already entered his stomach before he could construct the spell.

"Ouch?"

The kitten tilted its head, as if it didn't quite understand what Reiner said, but when it didn't find food, it lost interest, jumped to the window sill, and soon disappeared.

Without pursuing it, Reiner is still immersed in the wonderful feeling of constructing magic just now, as if his soul has been enriched. This is a more pleasant feeling than enjoying food or listening to music.

Now Reiner can almost be said to be an official first-level mage. After passing the corresponding written examination and magic test, he can receive the certificate and some rewards issued by the association and become a registered official mage. .

Reiner has previously investigated that magic tests are held twice a year. The first time is on the 7th to 8th of the Moon of Light (June), and the second time is on the 2nd of the Moon of Dragon Sleep (December). From the 13th to the 24th.

There will be several mock exams before the official exam to allow students to determine their shortcomings so that they can perform better in the official exam.

There are four subjects in the two-day exam. The first day is basic subjects, the mage code and history of magic in the morning, magic runes in the afternoon, and the second morning is a comprehensive written test for each faction. Mage apprentices can choose their own You will answer questions on the subjects you are good at, and the next afternoon there will be a spell casting test.

In the end, the combined scores of the four subjects are the scores of this test.

Those who pass the exam will receive a certificate issued by the association and become an official mage, and the results of this test will also serve as a basis for them to prove their ability when looking for a mentor in the future.

To understand simply, this is the college entrance examination or graduation examination in the mage world.

After passing the assessment, most mages go to find mentors to engage in research work. However, a small number of mages think that their assessment results are not satisfactory and hope to get higher scores. They will not casually seek help from someone with less resources. tutor, but chose to review and take the exam again for another year.

This kind of repeat students usually have a shortcoming. If they are good in the written test, they will always improve after years of study. But if there are huge flaws in the spell casting test, then even if they pass the written test with high scores, Although they passed the exam and got good results, they still felt struggling when they entered the real study.

Many prestigious tutors are troubled by such repeat students. On the one hand, the association's regulations require that everyone be treated equally, and they cannot publicly state that they will not take back readers. On the other hand, it is indeed difficult for these repeat students to keep up with the progress of their research. Most of them will probably be just one link throughout their lives.

To Reiner, this is the tragedy of exam-oriented education.

The exam only exists for quick selection, but it is not the whole of life. Many people have put the cart before the horse. The magic in their eyes is not a wonderful thing, but only exists to allow themselves to pass the exam. They have not enjoyed the magic. Giving myself pleasure, I only indulged in the test papers.

Leiner believes that necessary practice is indispensable, but he pays more attention to students' own willingness to learn, because interest is the biggest teacher. Only by letting students understand that what they are learning is fun and they can get something from it. Only when she has fun, Reiner will try his best to help her.

"However, it seems like we can do some business here."

Reiner looked at the test paper he had compiled at hand, and an idea suddenly occurred to him.

......

Dana was very distressed.

She looked at the test paper on the desk in front of her with a sad face.

This is the third paper that Reiner has assigned to her, and she has already completed half of the questions above.

After that day of teaching, although Dana developed a certain interest in mathematics, her early foundation was too poor, and it was difficult for her to make up for it in a while, so she still had to take more than three test papers. It takes hours to complete, and the accuracy is worrisome.

But Dana didn't give up, because at least Reiner gave her hope.

Denna has not been very good at magic since she was a child, and she has not inherited the excellent blood of her parents at all.

It wasn't until she was six years old that she successfully cast a spell for the first time. Dana clearly remembers that it was a simple mage's hand. She used this spell to fold a simple paper crane and almost tore the entire piece of paper. broken.

However, when Dana excitedly brought the tattered but still recognizable paper crane to her father, the fourth-ring mage who was obsessed with demiplane research actually praised him. nothing.

"You are blocking my notes."

Adol Christian said sternly to his daughter, gently touching the brainchild of Dana to the corner of the table.

Denna cried at that time. Her efforts were not valued by her father at all. This kind of blow was unbearable for a girl who was only six years old at the time.

She ran to another room to find her mother~IndoMTL.com~ to try to get comfort, but her mother was the same as her father.

"What are you so happy about? This level is not magic at all!"

After scolding Dana, her mother then immersed herself in her work.

Perhaps only Dana's uncle, Chester, can understand her. Chester's magical attainments are far inferior to those of his brother. Until now, he is only a second-level mage. Perhaps it is the similarity of the situation that makes Danna Na felt that he was particularly kind.

When Dana's parents had an accident, it was Chester who was the first to stand up, blocking all outside comments for Dana, and using his savings for Dana to study.

Chester often told Dana that it was not that her parents didn't love her, but they were just not good at expressing their love. They were a pair of clumsy parents, which caused Dana to misunderstand.

He also told Dana that on her seventh birthday, Adol and Elena will give Dana the most special birthday gift, so that she can look forward to it.

But Dana has no way of knowing what the truth is.

With that unknown birthday gift, Dana’s parents have been annihilated in the void and can never be found again.

Perhaps it was this kind of environment that cast a huge shadow on Dana about magic. She was not confident in herself, nor in the magic she cast.

Of course, Dana still felt that she might not really have any magic talent. Tomorrow was the day that Reiner had agreed with her to cast the illumination spell again. Although Dana had completely imprinted the spell model of the illumination spell in her mind, I also simulated casting spells without injecting magic power many times, but this girl still felt uneasy.

She was worried that the explosion would happen again, and by that time, even Reiner would look disappointed with herself.

Just like my parents.
