blue whales under the stars

Chapter 27

The dining building was still some distance away from the meeting place of St. Paul's College, and the four of them planned to walk there.Although Tamar City is not far behind, it still cannot compare with the three major domestic cities with independent transportation systems.Most of the various animal-drawn vehicles in the city are privately owned, and they have to pass strict qualification examinations before they can pass in the city.The Karina siblings also came from out of town, so walking was the only option.

When leaving the restaurant, Mu Ye deliberately kept a little distance from the two brothers and sisters to ensure that he would not lose track of him, but his voice would not be heard by them.Bai Cang didn't pay attention at first, but when the young man's eyes drifted over several times, his face was hesitant to speak, he clenched his fist and put his hand on Mu Ye's shoulder.

He asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Mu Ye looked at the two brothers and sisters who were walking a few steps in front of him, and asked in a soft voice, "Can we really go to St. Paul's College?"

He knew that it would be impolite for the two people he had just met, but apart from that, Mu Ye couldn't find any other chance to talk to Mr. Lan Jing alone.

Bai Cang rubbed the bridge of his nose with the pulp of his thumb, and instead of answering, he asked, "Does Xiaoye want to go?"

"I don't know if I can pass the test..." Mu Ye frowned, "I haven't learned any spells yet." The only spell he had been exposed to was the one that Mr. Blue Whale taught him to use as a cover-up, and It was only used with the help of Xingman's ability.

Bai Cang is not worried about this.He reassured: "There are still three days before the end, we can take a look at the test process first. The academy recruits students based on their potential, and those who have learned spells and spells in advance are not likely to be welcomed."

Mu Ye was surprised: "They don't know how to test the content of spells?"

"No." Bai Cang said very affirmatively, "In the magician colleges of the three colleges, the ability to perceive and control the elements is the most important thing. The memory of spells only accounts for a small proportion. Compared with reciting, they pay more practice."

He said: "It is to use spells and spells that need to have the basis of perception of the elements. Once the spell is used, it means that the subject has already tried to contact the elements. For the three major colleges, they don't like such students, rather Compared to that, they would prefer to educate their students from scratch, so as to cultivate the best magicians."

Mu Ye suddenly said, "So that's how it is."

But even if the question of the test is put aside for the time being, the original destination of the two of them is not St. Paul's College.Mu Ye asked: "Then if it passes...don't we go home?"

Bai Cang said, "Go back."

Seeing that Mu Ye was puzzled, he said, "Holy Silver Country is not far from the mountains, and the transportation there is convenient enough for us to go back smoothly, so we have to go to Holy Silver Country. As for the test of St. Paul's College, as long as Just try your best. If you really pass, you can also ask for half a year's leave at that time."

Indeed, it is still too early to say this, they have not even participated in the test in Tamar City yet.Mu Ye wrinkled the tip of his nose, and didn't want to delve into the aftermath.But there is still a question, which needs to be asked to Mr. Blue Whale: "What about you...?"

Bai Cang turned his head to look at him: "Huh?"

Mu Ye asked: "Isn't the academy accepting freshmen who have never been exposed to elements?"

Bai Cang is already at the eighth level, obviously not in this range. Strictly speaking...he is not even a magician, he is a whale.

Bai Cang pursed his lips and said, "St. Paul's College also recruits beast tamers."

Mu Ye was dumbfounded.

Bai Cang coughed lightly, and said, "I can participate in the test as a beast tamer, they won't check the beast tamer's elemental abilities."

Mu Ye couldn't say a word, and after a long time, he managed to squeeze out: "But, but... you are not..."

Bai Cang explained: "The most important ability of a beast tamer is to have barrier-free communication with the primordial beast. As long as you have this ability, you are qualified to take part in the test."

As one of the few beast spirits on the mainland, or one who can only be counted with one finger, even if Bai Cang is depleted now, his strength is above the eighth level.Not to mention communicating with other primordial beasts, even fighting with all other primordial beasts, the final result would not have any suspense.

Compared with human beings, the difference in the strength of Yuan beasts at different levels is even greater.

Moreover, Bai Cang said: "I have been domesticated before, and I am very familiar with the breath of the beast tamer. With Xingman in your hands, my disguise will not be seen through. Unless there is a stronger Yuan beast than me, I will not be able to see through it." Maybe because of my sensitivity to the smell of the same kind, I saw my flaws."

Mu Ye lowered his eyes and nodded, but didn't continue to speak.

The four of them walked all the way, and it was already afternoon when they arrived at the meeting point.The meeting point is located on an open flat ground, and there is a tall building behind the platform.There was a long queue all around, and the beginning of the queue was extending from the front of the building, and there were countless turns on the flat ground.

At first glance, there are so many people, but it really surprises the latecomers.Fortunately, although there are many people, the speed of the team's movement is not slow.Moreover, most of the people who come here to sign up come here on a special trip, and they will not give up because of the length of the team.

This team is used to test potential, including elemental ability and martial spirit, so the team is extremely long.And at the other end of the flat ground, there is a waiting point where there are not many people, and that is the place to test the ability of the beast tamer.Bai Cang was not in a hurry to go there, so he stood beside Mu Ye and lined up with him.

Before queuing up, the four of them went to get three forms to fill out, and then Mu Ye knew the name of the elder brother of the pair—Grinton.There was very little information on the form, just name, age and where they were from.Mu Ye glanced at the prompt message below and found that St. Paul's College had an age limit, and they only recruited students between the ages of 30 and [-].

It is the unified adult limit within the mainland. For ordinary people without elemental abilities and martial energy, their lifespan is generally within a hundred years.For one tenth of the practitioners, this time will be doubled, and some high-level magicians and warriors can even live up to five hundred years.

That's why the three major academies have relaxed the admission age. Anyone between the age of 30 can become a freshman as long as they have enough potential.Although there are also examples of practitioners who are late bloomers, such cases are rare after all. If they are over 30 years old and still have not awakened, their chances of becoming practitioners will be greatly reduced, and the three major colleges will naturally not lower it for them. standard.

When Mu Ye saw this restriction, the first thing he thought of was Bai Cang.The potential test team will conduct a bone age test in the middle of the queue to check the age of each applicant.Although I don't know if there is a specific age limit for the trainer, but Mr. Blue Whale doesn't look like a very young fish...

He filled out the form and went to line up with his brother and sister.Bai Cang came over to join him, before standing still, Mu Ye asked this question in a low voice.

Bai Cang pinched his tender earlobes, and said, "I've only been here for 20 years, so don't worry."

What he meant was that he had only been in human form for 20 years. Mu Ye felt relieved and stood at the end of the team with Mr. Blue Whale.

The testing was done quickly, so even though the line was long, there was little negativity among those involved.Even so, when Mu Ye came to the front of the building, the sky had already started to get dark.The end of the team was cut off before a quarter of an hour, and no new ones were allowed.

There are ten places allowed in each round, and Mu Ye happened to be divided with the Greenton brothers and sisters.Bai Cang was stopped when he was testing the bone age, and he and Mu Ye split up to take part in two different tests.The two brothers and sisters were still chatting at the beginning of the line. Later, the atmosphere in the line became more and more tense. Everyone stared at the people who had finished testing and came out of the building, and they all fell silent for a while.

Originally, Mu Ye's goal was not St. Paul's College, but under such an atmosphere, he was also infected with nervousness.Besides, he had to pass this test before he could get on the bus from Tamar City to Holy Silver Kingdom.When entering the hall with the other nine people, Mu Ye could not help but take a deep breath.

As soon as they entered the hall, the first thing they saw was a huge boulder with round facets.The appearance of the boulder is quite smooth, and the cut surface is also very flat. Its circumference is enough to be surrounded by five or six people, and its appearance is a dark and dark color.There was a long table next to it, and three middle-aged men sat behind the table.A middle-aged man wearing glasses is responsible for checking the names, a tall and thin man is responsible for explaining, and the remaining one is taking notes.

The thin and tall man briefly introduced to ten people what they were going to do, and then starting from the first person, everyone had to line up and put their palms on the vertical section of the boulder in turn.After getting closer, Mu Ye realized that the boulder was not completely black.Its outer shell is quite dark in color, but the inside is as transparent as crystal.

When the first girl stepped forward to put her hand on it, almost immediately, the cut surface emitted a faint blue light, dyeing the entire boulder a kind of shining blue.The middle-aged man in charge of the record showed a satisfied expression, while writing something, he said: "Turn right, to test the energy of the elements."

The girl's expression also changed from nervous and bewildered to joyful. She quickly thanked her and walked quickly to the corridor on the right.

The rest of the people were naturally envious and nervous, and they also touched the boulder one by one.Mu Ye was the last one among the ten people, so he saw everything about everyone in front of him.Except for the first girl, the only ones who made the boulder glow blue were the brothers Greenton and Karina.

When two other people touched the surface, a red light was reflected in the boulder, and they were ordered to turn left to test their martial spirit.

In addition, there are four people, they did not make any changes in the boulder.The recorder didn't show any strange expressions, but just gestured to them towards the door, indicating that they could leave directly.

People who have neither elemental energy nor martial energy fluctuations are just ordinary people.

Mu Ye was a little nervous at first, but the Greenton brothers and sisters in front of him all passed smoothly, which also gave him some comfort.When he put his hand on the surface of the boulder, a warm current spread from the cut surface to his fingers, forearm and even his whole body. Almost instantly, the boulder under Mu Ye's palm emitted a blue light.

"Turn right to test elemental energy."

He was the only one left in the hall, and the tall, thin man in charge of the explanation went to the door to call the next batch of ten people in.The middle-aged man in charge of recording took a look at Mu Ye, put down the pen in his hand, and took a sip from the water glass.

Because out of the ten people in this group, there are four preparatory students with elemental energy, the middle-aged people seem to be in a good mood.He moistened his throat with water, and said to Mu Ye: "There are element attributes and potential level tests in it, don't be nervous, go."
