Mage? Spell Engineer!

Chapter 3 Examination for becoming a mage

The Imperial Royal Academy of Magic was established in Castle Diane, the residence sponsored by Duke Wilhelm von Iman Jr., and was also funded by His Majesty the Emperor and the Imperial Parliament. It is located in the Queens District of the capital.

Today its open-air atrium has been transformed into a special examination room for the official mage certification examination.

The magic guild that occupies the entire continent of Feralon divides mages into ninth levels. After passing the exam, they are not only registered as official spell casters by the empire, but also recognized by the guild as first-level mages in the mainland.

The assessment requires the apprentice to select the three magic spells he has mastered best from the primary spell list. Each primary spell in the list has assessment methods and quantitative indicators set up. Each magic has two chances to be cast, and it will be considered passed if all indicators are passed.

The three spells are completed according to quantitative indicators, which are neither easy nor particularly difficult for four-year apprentices in the empire. In addition to teaching public theory classes, the teachers of the academy also accept about ten apprentices to teach them practical operations. At the same time, the apprentices also need to help the teachers and assist in magic experiments and teaching. Generally speaking, apprentices can basically master 5-8 basic magics in four years.

What makes Rorschach speechless is that he was originally a fireball maniac. In addition to being proficient in the magic theory he learned, he mainly devoted his energy to studying fireball. In order to pass the exam, he hastily learned the relatively simple water-making and water-making techniques. Primary decomposition. Others were more troubled by the spellcasting theory test, which had multiple subjects and difficult questions, but Yuan Rorschach was the other way around.

"This guy is definitely going to work on big things. My time travel has really contributed to the construction of a harmonious campus!"

After sighing, Rorschach walked towards the test center of his exam items. The silver foil in your hand has been set up with a magic circuit, and it will emit blue light when it comes to the project you signed up for.

The first is the primary decomposition technique. Many apprentices choose this project. After all, the decomposition technique can be said to be the simplest.

Next to the examiner were neatly stacked square stones, roughly the same size, about the same size as a fist. Rorschach looked like they were all limestone.

"You can start when you are ready. Please decompose this stone without contact. If you decompose other items by mistake, it will be regarded as a spellcasting failure."

Magical light flashed on the stone, and the stone quickly disintegrated.

The examiner first checked whether the desktop was damaged by magic, and then raised his right hand slightly after confirming that it was not.

Rorschach watched as the examiner used his mage's hands to transfer the stone fragments to a coarse metal screen, shake them off, and then weigh the screen together.

The examiner read the scale carefully and said on the spot: "The mass of fragments with a particle size greater than 3 centimeters is less than one-third of the mass of the original stone."

After recording, the deputy signaled to Rorschach: "Congratulations, this project is qualified."

"Thanks."

Next is the fireball spell.

Not many people apply for the fireball technique, but the sound and light effects are absolutely remarkable. After passing through the soundproof array and entering this examination center, the blast from the previous examinee hit Rorschach's eardrum.

boom

The examiner directed the apprentice to launch fireballs at the huge black iron block, with guide rails installed underneath.

After the bombardment, the assistant quickly took out a color card and compared it with the struck center of the iron block, regardless of the heat wave, and then read the scale of the movement of the iron block on the guide rail.

"Temperature level 14, momentum level 12!"

Both indicators reached a full level of 15. The examiner was surprised, "Your fireball technique is very good, very good." He added: "With these results, the imperial army will welcome you as a special battle mage."

Using the red heat of metal to measure the temperature of the fireball and the displacement of the iron block to measure the kinetic energy of the fireball are indeed good ways to measure the power. Damn, why do you think this exam is very scientific?

"Thank you." He was not proud of the fireball examiner's praise for a moment. Rorschach's next project was water creation!

This is the moment to test his newly created magic, a crucial game that determines his fate.

The test method of water generation is to condense a specified volume of water spheres within a specified time. In the words Rorschach is familiar with, it requires the flow rate of the water-generating technique to reach a certain value.

The measuring tool is a brass balance half a man's height, with weights on one side and a glass measuring cup on the other, with an estimated capacity of one liter.

The examiner for the program was Rorschach’s mentor and instructor Caroline who taught their “Space Time and Astrology” course. Teacher Caroline's age seemed to be somewhere between a girl and a woman. She had a bunch of braided hair hanging on the side of her chest. She had both vitality and mature charm. Yuan Rorschach liked her very much.

"Just signal me when you're ready, and I'll start timing after a count of three."

"Okay, please begin."

"Three, two, one!" The examiner pressed the delicate pocket watch to count down.

Caroline pays attention to this student. She has guided Rorschach in the practice of magic and knows that Rorschach is not good at water creation. She couldn't help but feel a little concerned, and was relieved when she saw Luo Xia's expression was very calm.

Then Caroline was not reassured, but surprised.

Rorschach flipped the vector cup upside down with his palm, gave up the water-making technique, and the water ball began to spray violently. Teacher Caroline observed in disbelief that after the filling was full, the scale quickly tilted toward the measuring cup.

"Ding" It turns out that after the measuring cup and weight are balanced, the balance will emit a crisp chirping sound.

"The water quality is clear and transparent. It took 3.35 seconds to pass the test!" Caroline looked at it for a while, "Rorschach, I was worried that you were a fool who only knew about endorsements and fireballs. Congratulations, Master Rorschach ."

"I might have been an idiot in the past, but not anymore. Thank you, Teacher Caroline." Rorschach bowed and left the atrium.

Caroline looked at Rorschach's leaving figure thoughtfully.

"How about it?"

"Once through."

"pass."

"Okay, great!" Bart was still very excited after the rendezvous - he would enter this state when he went through an exam or cast a spell, like a rooster that had just crowed.

"In order to celebrate the three outstanding young people of the empire officially embarking on the path of magic, I have the honor to invite two of them to have lunch at the Moonlight Lake Restaurant. What do you think?"

Bart exaggeratedly imitated the aristocratic accent and joked, and he bent down to Rorschach and Richard with one hand to support them and the other to reach out.

"OK."

Unexpectedly, Richard seriously took Bart's hand and returned the gift, "Richard is honored to accept your invitation."

Bart laughed loudly, "Don't do that, it makes me uncomfortable!"

There is a large woodland around Fort Diane, which wraps up the college. Through the sparse woods, you can see the downtown area of ​​Queens.

The Moonlight Lake Restaurant is a popular place frequented by teachers and apprentices. It can be called the college's extra-staff cafeteria, but the cost is too high for Rorschach, so he can only eat there if he follows Bart and Richard.

The bright hall is filled with the sound of elves' pianos. The floor is inlaid and polished with light blue and dark blue stones. The top of the hall is a starry sky. The soft magic lamp lighting perfectly fits the name of Moonlight Lake. Rorschach looked around and saw many apprentices wearing college badges.
