Lance stood in the waiting area for the Sage's Court in the courtyard, still missing the taste of sweets from the Holy Nation.
It is said that the food in the Shadow World is as real as the one in the real world, but in the artificial Shadow World, it's just an illusion. After baking the dessert for half a day just now, there was no taste at all...
In his moments of contemplation, he also inadvertently overheard other examinees discussing their respective clearance times.
Originally, most qualified candidates needed to spend four or five hours to barely meet the passing requirements.
It seems that everyone's legal awareness is still not strong enough.
Just as Lance was lost in thought, imagining himself floating among the stars.
How much time did you spend
A light, airy voice sounded from a distance near Ranch.
Lanche tilted his head, and saw a woman of about the same age as him looking at him.
Her eyes glowed with amber, cold and proud, as if a single glance could overlook the entire world.
From her obviously expensive attire and jewelry, she must be a prominent noble from this royal family.
She seemed to have discovered that there was another examinee around her who was particularly relaxed and at ease.
Such a person who seems completely unconcerned about their exam scores is quite rare in the entire examination hall.
">“……”
" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Ranch fell silent, calculating in his mind.
Actually, the whole process only took him about ten minutes.
Less than fifty minutes.
Lance replied amicably.
He felt that this extraordinary-looking young lady must be a proud and troublesome person.
So if my clearance speed is really faster than hers, saying it to her face would definitely make her unhappy.
Then, let's be conservative and just say within half an hour.
This is what they call human relations.
"That's it."
Immediately, the young lady nodded expressionlessly and then no longer focused her attention on Lance.
Originally, he was just a person who didn't care about whether his grades were good or bad.
Huaiberli thinks with ease.
I had been misled by his overly composed demeanor.
So he shouldn't become his own teammate for the third round of assessments.
As the only daughter of the Duke of Alsar, Huberian had long been aware of the mechanics of this year's third round of the Sage Academy exams.
Students of different disciplines will be grouped into teams with teachers to engage in combat.
Generally, this type of question.
A team will typically assign one auxiliary mage or healer.
Sometimes, depending on the number of candidates, all outputs may be mages.
A good teammate can make the third round of assessments easier for the whole team, while a bad one can significantly increase the pressure on everyone else.
According to rumors, this year's grouping rules will be based on the ranking from the second round of assessments.
That means candidates who rank high in the Wise Men's Academy are likely to become teammates and then confront stronger teachers.
In the second round, Huberlian, who is bound to be among the top performers, as a DPS mage naturally wouldn't want to end up with a mediocre healer if they were placed in a difficult team for the third round.
Furthermore, there were people in the kingdom who did not want her to be admitted smoothly.
When she is with you, the practical exam difficulty will undoubtedly become much more exaggerated.
Only with a good assistant can you slightly increase your chances of clearing it.
Of course.
Those in power who don't want her to be admitted will also try to manipulate their pawns within the academy. They'll arrange for her to have the worst possible teammates within the rules, even actors.
Just thinking about these things, a wave of irresistible killing intent rippled through Huberlian's heart.
"Give me a few more years... I'll settle the score with all of you... piece by piece..."
She thought wickedly to herself.
But his expression remained as calm as ever.
……
As the waiting time in the exam hall gradually became more noisy.
On the edge of the courtyard, there was a cold and aloof young man with gray-white messy hair, his arms crossed against the wall. He had put on a pair of small round sunglasses at this time, looking lazy and somewhat arrogant.
He could clearly hear the conversations of other examinees.
Most are discussing the details of passing the second round of assessments, and the time it took.
Finally.
He shut his eyes with a mixture of scorn and disdain.
He doesn't understand.
Why are these people's clearance times...
Must everything be calculated by the minute
Frey furrowed her brow, pondering the question.
It is obvious that this exam tests the candidates' borrowing and lending thinking.
Pawn your clothes for money, it's done immediately, why would you need that long
……
The head examiner for this exam, Master Loren of the Sage Academy, is waiting for the terminal to calculate the final scores for the second round of assessments.
Hearing the students' discussions, he knew some of the examinees who were still proud of their thirty-plus minute clearance time would be questioning their lives later on.
Originally.
This result can be considered very excellent.
As someone who has been observing the candidates' performance on the screen at the examination hall, Lauren roughly knows the passing time each student will be judged to clear.
All examinees from the Knight's Academy and the Sage's Academy, except for two individuals, took a minimum of 25 minutes and 3 seconds, even the fastest ones.
And then, around the 9 minute and 53 second mark, Alan completed the task requirement.
While other candidates were busy investigating, he had already arrested the entire target family.
Frey is 7 seconds.
He solved all the problems at the start.
In this not-complex game world, the speed of clearing is the most important scoring factor.
Frey absolutely got an incredibly ridiculous base rating for speed.
But because in this type of decryption-themed world, he doesn't have much of a decryption process, so there will hardly be any other rating bonuses.
As for the ranking of Ranch, even Lauren doesn't know how the final score will be calculated.
If you successfully pass the second and third rounds of assessments, then the scores from these two rounds will be weighted separately and recorded as part of your total score.
The ranking of overall entrance exam scores will influence subsequent matters such as class assignment within the corresponding academy, priority for formal registration and Challenger Exemption Recommendation, and representative seats for first-year students in academy visitation and exchange activities.
The AI world is now activated. The terminal will continue to operate as usual, and the scoring for the examinees will be calculated shortly.
When the computation reaches a certain node.
Suddenly, arcs of electricity flashed on the secret silver and magic crystals at the launch terminal of the artificial shadow world. After that, electric cocoons continued to explode around it!
As the magical screen connected to the terminal froze suddenly, all images and indicators ceased their movement.
In the next moment, a continuous stream of chaotic pixels made the screen repetitive and blurry.
This commotion clearly caught the attention of all the examinees, and a flurry of noisy confusion arose in the seventh-floor examination hall.
Lorentz frowned, hesitating for only a moment before grimly forcing the terminal to shut down.
Although doing so would likely damage valuable magical artifacts, he must prioritize the safety of all students and staff present.
At the same time, the chaotic electrical sparks on the terminal also dissipated.
This relieved many examinees who were still on edge.
However.
When Lauren tries to restart the terminal with the key again.
But then I found the terminal was unresponsive.
It seems like what I just did broke it.
"No."
Lorentz shook his head sadly, then rubbed his temples.
He just felt very tired today because of this exam, and he didn't want to go to the Magecraft Institute to get scolded by Professor Boral.
Even without summoning expert Paula from the Magecraft Institute, Loren had a pretty good idea of what was wrong.
Even though the artificial world of images is impressive, it's not as divinely created as a true cinematic world.
The settlement of a replicated artificial shadow world can only be assessed using pre-set and pre-input algorithm models.
Like Frey's method of passing through, although alternative, it is simple and straightforward.
Even if some parameters are missing, it is still possible to calculate the score.
However, the replicators hadn't considered that there were strategies like Lan Qi's, which completely subverted the algorithm model.
This guy has an abnormal bunch of parameters input!
So, the terminal got stuck due to a fault.
In terms of clearance speed, this round of assessment should be Frey from the Knight Academy first, followed by Ranchi from the Sage Academy.
Due to Lanchi's bizarre actions, it was impossible to determine the specific scores of all the examinees in the end!
Loren thought to himself that he was going to have a headache explaining the urgent repair needs to the Arcane Engineering Institute afterwards.
Finally.
Loren sighed deeply, as if ignoring Lance completely. He looked at the numerous examinees and said,
We will manually assess the second-round scores based on exam records, and the third round of practical assessment will be held the day after tomorrow. All candidates will receive a notification with specific exam arrangements before the end of today.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Everything is Goddess's trial for him. As a priest, he mustn't get angry easily...
After the announcement of important matters.
Dean Lauren saw off all the examinees in the courtyard like sending guests away.
