Surprised me into a goddess of light

Sophia chuckled lightly and said, "Yeah, I was as surprised as you when I came to school last year."

When we walked into the city, we saw the clear Rhine River on the left, and a row of street shops on the right, including expensive magic material stores, exquisite weapons and equipment stores, as well as some nice clothing stores and snack grocery stores. Scattered galleries, churches, iron towers, flower shops and cafes are mixed in, everything is so novel.

Pedestrians strolled leisurely on the street, a few birds flitted through the air, and the wind blew along the river, carrying the breath of micro tide.

I looked at all kinds of shops and said, "The houses in Tianqi City seem to be very old."

As Kelly led us forward, he introduced: "The buildings here are basically designed by the architects of the college. Many of them are antiques, with a history of hundreds of thousands of years, and have been renovated countless times. The buildings of the old era The combination of style and magic technology of the new era makes Apocalypse City itself a great spectacle of the mainland."

After walking for more than ten minutes, passing various magical storefronts, Kelly led us onto a long ancient bridge.

Winnie looked along the Rhine and asked, "Are we almost at Apocalypse Academy?"

I also looked into the distance from the bridge, the city is too big, as if there is no end.

Kelly smiled and said, "We are now on the Milo Bridge in District No. 30 of Apocalypse City. We just passed the pedestrian street in District 36. The college is in the center of Apocalypse City. We have to go to the other side of the bridge to take the magic cable car."

I was surprised and said: "This is just a district of Tianqi City?"

Kelly replied: "Apocalypse City currently has a total of 54 districts, and it is still expanding outwards, and the academy is in the first 21 districts. Among them, the classifications such as the Magic Court and the Warrior Academy we are going to are only in the first three districts of the college."

"..."

It's a bit surprising, only the No.30 sixth district is already equivalent to a small city in other countries. Calculated by this area, Apocalypse City can be said to be a small country.

Winnie asked: "Magic cable car? Is it the same thing as those airships in the sky?"

Kelly nodded and said: "Yes, Apocalypse Academy has built a magic cable road on the main line, which can easily go back and forth between various urban areas."

Probably things like airplanes and railways in the previous life. It seems that Tianqi Academy has also developed to a certain extent in terms of technology.

As I was thinking this way, I suddenly saw a figure sitting in the middle of the bridge, facing the Rhine, with an easel and various pastel paints in front of him.

Scattered pedestrians on the bridge walked past him, and some people stopped behind him to watch.

As I got closer, I saw his image clearly, it was a young boy.

He was wearing a black windbreaker and a black beret, with dark blue short curly hair protruding from the brim of the hat. He had a clean face and was painting the city scenery in front of him.

We also stopped behind him and took a look at his paintings.

This kind of realistic landscape painting is a test of the artist's painting skills, let alone a big city with artistic background like Tianqi City, but this boy's painting is very good and lifelike.

If you just look at the painting itself, you can't believe that the creator is so young. This kind of work should be painted by a master painter who has been immersed in painting for many years.

The most commendable thing is that this painting is not only very realistic, but also has a touch of color extension, which clearly expresses the unique sense of history and advanced magic concepts unique to Apocalypse City.

At this moment, the boy put the last paint on the corner of the painting and stood up.

He turned around, as if he had expected it, and looked at our group.

Winnie approached the painting, observed it carefully, and exclaimed: "This painting is amazing! I have never seen anyone who can combine painting skills and fantasy to this extent!"

The boy smiled modestly and said, "Thank you for the compliment. I had a premonition yesterday that something good would happen in District 36. I came here to collect information today. I didn't expect it to happen."

Kelly looked at him, and suddenly asked, "Are you the magical all-rounder Daphne Chess of the astrology system?"

The boy nodded and said to Kelly: "Hello, Blue Flash Helen Kelly, I'm Daphne Chess, but I prefer to be called an all-rounder of art."

When I look at Da Vinci, I always feel that this person pays a lot of attention to me.

Sure enough, Da Vinci smiled at me: "This beautiful lady, what is your name?"

"My name is Eve."

Da Fenqi put away the painting just now, took out a new drawing paper and sketch pencil, and said to me: "It's a nice name, can I draw a portrait of you? Just a few minutes."

This kind of sketching scene was created for a fee in the previous life, and the level of the painters was different. Out of embarrassment, I usually never participated.

I was silent for a moment, then nodded.

This time I fully witnessed his superb painting level and superb sketching skills. In just 5 minutes, my face was vivid on the paper, delicate and pure.

The amazing thing is that, facing my expressionless face, the portraits he created still have a hint of a smile, revealing a lively and agile temperament, which is extremely beautiful.

After sketching the corner of Milo Bridge behind me, Da Fenqi picked up the portrait, nodded with satisfaction, and handed this sketch to me.

I took it in my hand and said, "Thank you."

Da Vinci replied: "No, it should be me thanking you for allowing me to draw a masterpiece."

He put away the drawing board, pressed the hat on his head tightly, smiled at us, and said, "You are all or will be students of the academy, and we will meet again."

Then just turned around and left.

Chapter 32

Winnie, the magic cable car, looked at his back as he left, and asked, "Magic all-rounder Daphne chess? Is he very good?"

Kelly nodded and said, "Very powerful, Leonardo Daphne, a second-level astrologer."

(Author's note: Western names in different worlds are marked with the surname first and the given name last, which is the opposite of Blue Star.)

"Two years ago, he came to the Apocalypse Academy alone to study. In the talent test, he tested the rare dual attributes of light and darkness, and his affinity was very high. He was immediately recruited into the Astrology Department of the Magic Academy. That department only recruits more than a dozen students every year. people."

I threw that sketch into the space ring and said, "Are there few dual attributes of light and dark?"

Winnie explained: "Light and darkness are completely opposite basic elements. They are extremely rare types among multi-attribute talents, and they are also the two pre-elements of divination magic. They are even rarer than the affinity of three-line talents. History The big prophets on the Internet are all light and dark dual attributes."

I suddenly thought of Teacher Daniel. He is a fourth-level great sage of the three elements of light, darkness, and water. I don’t know if he knows divination magic.

Kelly turned around, motioned us to continue walking, and said, "And the most powerful thing about Daphne Chess is not the magic talent, but his omnipotent knowledge. The college recommends to enroll in three courses, but when he entered the school, he put light and dark , Astrology and Astrology majoring in three departments of magic easily passed the test, and was admitted to more than a dozen subjects such as painting, music, architecture, mathematics, astronomy, geography, potion science, materials science, etc. "

I asked in surprise, "Can he learn so many lessons?"

Kelly said with some emotion: "This is the origin of his reputation as an all-rounder. In the past two years, he has not only passed these more than ten minor courses, but also ranked first in the comprehensive assessment of all subjects in the department every academic year, and he has also successfully passed He won the championship of the Tianqi Chess Club for two years."

Is this still a person?Let's hang up!After taking a bunch of courses, he can still crush those academic geniuses who specialize in a certain field in all aspects.

I thought I was already a genius, and I was also a top student in my previous life, but I realized that I was just a younger brother after seeing Da Vinci Chess.

Winnie and I were silent for a moment, obviously shocked by this man's enchantment.

Sophia came over and patted Winnie and me on the head, and said, "Although there are many great people in the academy, there are still very few of them like Senior Daphne Chess. And when it comes to the name of genius, Brother Kelly won't lose to him."

Kelly waved his hand, but he was not too modest: "I am in a different field from Daphne Chess, so there is no comparison."

A group of people crossed the Milo Bridge, walked on a wide road, and came to a magnificent circular bird's nest-style building.

Two giant bridges that seem to extend infinitely pass through the middle of this building, the surrounding area is very empty, and there are gusts of cool wind whimpering in the air.

"Ugh-"

Accompanied by a whistle, on the giant bridge, a long black metal car shaped like a subway came from a distance, very fast.

"Is this the Magic Cable Car?" Winnie asked.

"Yes, let's go."

Kelly led us into the circular building. The entrance was a huge display board, pasted on the opposite wall, which depicted the detailed distribution of the 54 districts of Apocalypse City, as well as the stations of various magic cable lines.

After identifying the direction of the School of Magic in District [-] of Tianqi City, we walked forward according to the arrow on the signboard until we reached an upward stairway, and there was a gate blocking the way in front of the stairway.

Next to the turnstile is a small iron man about one meter tall, with a smile on his face and exquisite workmanship, holding a small iron box in his right hand.

It made a welcome gesture, raised a sign with its left hand, which read - please throw a silver coin, and then stretched out the iron box with its right hand in front of us.

I asked in amazement: "What is this villain?"

Kelly put five silver coins into the small iron box in Iron Man's hand, and said: "This is the magic puppet technology completed by a student team led by a teacher from the School of Mechanical Engineering. Now it has been implemented in the magic cable lines in major urban areas, saving a lot of manpower. .”

The gate opened automatically, and five people entered in turn, and walked up the stairs to one of the giant bridges.

The giant bridge is a form of interlaced stations and lines. More than a dozen main lines lead to different destinations. The lines are black tracks made of special materials.

Standing at the site of the giant bridge, with a wide view, I saw that opposite the two giant bridges is a very wide platform, which is larger than the entire bird's nest building here, and there are many large or small light blue on the platform. Color bird-shaped airship.

Winnie pointed there and said, "Are those the airships that flew in the sky just now?"

Sophia glanced at the square and said, "Yes, that's where the magic airship takes off. Speaking of this, there is an allusion to building the magic cable station and the airship station together."

I asked curiously, "What allusion?"

Sophia smiled and said: "It is said that more than 100 years ago, there was a boy from the School of Architecture who pursued a very good girl, but was rejected. The girl said, let the boy not wait for her, she and him are like an airship and a magic cable car , there will never be an intersection, and no matter how long you wait at the magic cable platform, you will never be able to wait for the airship. Soon, the boys graduated and designed countless architectural facilities. The joint design of the magic cable platform and airship station in District 36 came from this Boy's hand."

Winnie asked, "Then did they get together later?"

Sophia shook her head.

Kelly added next to it: "I seem to have heard that the chief engineer for most of the circuit design in Apocalypse City is Dean Xavier."

Sophia snorted, and suddenly said with great interest: "Speaking of which, more than 100 years ago, when Dean Xavier was studying at the school, the dean did choose architecture, maybe this story is true. "

At this moment, a magic cable car whined from the black track, slowed down, and stopped in front of us.

The screen door opens and we step onto the magic cable car.

Chapter 33

The magic cable car of the Academy of Magic is designed vertically, with seats on both sides, two to three people in a row.

We found a seat at random, and soon the car started up again.

The speed of the magic cable car is getting faster and faster, like a black lightning shuttle on the track, whizzing and galloping, the scenery outside the window is left behind.

There were not many people in the car, most of them were young people who were chatting in their seats, and they might be students who were going to enroll in the academy.

In front of my seat was a tall girl with black hair and red eyes, standing at the window of the magic cable car, watching the scenery.

I have seen many beautiful girls, such as Sophia, Winnie, Amy and myself, but this is the first time I have seen such a handsome girl, which strongly attracted me to take a few more glances.

She crossed her arms and leaned naturally on the armrest of the car. She was wearing a men's style white shirt with the top button unbuttoned and a contrasting black tie.

The bright red eyes are as deep as blood-stained, the bridge of the nose is straight, and the facial features are delicate and well-defined, without any trace of modification.

Neat short black hair is handsomely scattered behind his head, a black dagger is hung on his waist, and black leather boots are on his feet, looking a little arrogant.

If it weren't for the slightly softer facial features and the upright chest, I might have mistaken her for a boy.

I just want to say, it turns out that girls can also be described as handsome!

Probably because I was staring at her too clearly, she looked away from the window and glanced at me with bright red eyes.

The eyes met, and this glance made me a little embarrassed, and I immediately looked away.

The speed of the magic cable car is very fast, with one stop every two to three minutes. After about ten minutes, the handsome girl got off the car.

I watched her cool and cool back disappear into the crowd, and asked, "Which stop is this?"

Sophia glanced at the instructions on the platform, and said: "This is the second district of Apocalypse Academy, Warrior Academy, after sending you and Winnie to the magic academy in the first district to register, brother Kelly, Paige and I will come here to report .”

"Oh~ it's coming so soon."

I exclaimed, this speed is much faster than the train in the previous life.

Three minutes later, our group got off the magic cable car, walked out of the magic cable platform, and faced a huge school gate.

The school gate is at least [-] meters high and is built of white stone. It is very spectacular, with a simple but not simple style. On the top is engraved with a line of Chinese common characters: Apocalypse · Academy of Magic.

Below these words is a school motto: Stars are fleeting, but truth is eternal.

Kelly said: "There are seven entrances to the Academy of Magic. This is the north gate of the Academy of Magic. It has a short history and is relatively new. We can enter from here and sign up at the admissions office."

We walked forward and entered the school gate. The road was full of young people, probably young girls who came to the college from a long distance to study.

However, Apocalypse Academy is indeed worthy of young people leaving their homes and chasing their dreams.

The buildings in the school are more refined and simple than those in the urban area. The teaching buildings are in the style of towers, and each one can be called a work of art.

We walked through a section of small stone road lying quietly under the shade of trees, passed the tallest building in Valoran, the astronomical tower, the museum with a history of more than a thousand years and tens of thousands of precious cultural relics, and the majestic and commemorative Great Hall. The magic temple that houses many sacred objects and artifacts, as well as the magic laboratory building dedicated to teachers and student associations, etc., finally came to a tall and special tower.

Sandstone and other types of stone are mainly used for the exterior walls of the tower, which makes the building reflect a stable sandy yellow color under the sunlight.There is a huge square clock in the center of the building, and above the clock is a striking sign: Enrollment Point for the Academy of Magic.

In front of the tower is a neat and open lawn, and many young people are walking towards the building from the asphalt path next to it.

Chapter 34

Affinity test We walked into this building with the crowd, and we entered a wide hall with a desk and a bench at the end of the hall.

On the desk is a crystal clear crystal ball. A man with a gentle face is sitting on a chair. He should be the teacher of the academy. Behind him stands a very special student.

This student has short light purple hair, thin eyes, and always squinting, with barely visible pupils.The most special thing is that there is always a smile on the corner of his mouth, which is neither a smile nor a mockery, which makes it hard to understand his true thoughts.

There was already a small queue in front of them, and each young man tested his magic talent in front of the teacher in order.

At this almost fateful moment, all testers are very nervous.The hall was very quiet, only the male teacher read the test results in a gentle voice.

Winnie and I followed at the end and joined the testing team.
