Chapter 169 First Round Preliminary Round

The High Tower College overlooking the north, the White Tower Restaurant.

The white pagoda standing on the mountainside is about a dozen stories high, and the middle three floors are where students eat.

If you are approaching, standing under the tower, you can only see rough gray and white stones, moss in a small amount of crevices, and water traces left by the wind and the sun. But once you go far, standing at the foot of the mountain or flying in the air, you will feel that the elegant shape of the White Pagoda is very harmonious with the rocks and pine trees behind it, and it has a special beauty.

Today is the weekend, and some students also choose to have dinner here, but fortunately it is not crowded and the number of people is relatively sparse. Most of the High Tower Academy students are obsessed with researching strange knowledge or exercising themselves, and are not as keen on socializing as the Walled Academy students. In the words of some people, the students of the High Tower Academy are all loners. Although it is a bit absolute, this trend is indeed more prevalent.

The students of the Magic Sequence are okay. If they encounter some problems, they may want to ask someone for advice on cooperation, but the students of the Dragon Sequence are basically playing their own way, very casual, and they don’t care much about social interaction. relationship, they trust their power more.

In general, one pursues spiritual independence and thinking, and the other pursues physical independence and strength.

The warm sunlight shines in from the window. There are basically no walls in the dining places on these floors. Except for the supporting stone pillars, there are open windows for ventilation. The two girls were sitting at the table covered with white cloth, waiting for their friends.

"Eye Ling, are you still used to the new dormitory? There is no Bumantha and Loren to take care of you now." Alena's short brown and black hair looked a little golden in the sunlight.

"Ugh... I know." Ye Ling, who was under fifteen years old, kicked her calf and replied in a low voice with a little dissatisfaction. After moving to the new dormitory, due to the unfamiliar staff, no one has woken her up recently.

"Haha, do you want to apply with the teacher, we will move in together." Alena said teasingly.

"No, I can live a good life myself, hum." Ye Ling was still a little proud of himself and didn't want to ask Alena.

"Tsk tsk, if Lorraine said that to you, I would have hugged him long ago."

"You're not Sister Loren..." Ye Ling puffed out her cheeks, shook the ponytails on both sides, and her off-white hair swayed with it.

The two talked for a while, and slowly, Ye Ling's mood became much more relaxed.

"You can come to me if you have any questions in the future. It's not far away anyway. You jump out of the dormitory window and fly a few hundred meters."

"I won't look for stupid Alena." Although Ye Ling denied it, he still felt a warmth in his heart.

After a while, Alena looked at her watch and whispered, "By the way, why hasn't Letis come yet, it's almost noon, let's wait for so long."

"Maybe there is something wrong, Letis doesn't seem to be the kind of person who is not punctual." Ye Ling guessed.

Central Schoolhouse, Sage Courtyard.

The time is already noon, and all the contestants present have basically completed the refining of the potion. After all, it is a bronze-level potion. To the outside world, it may be made by an official alchemist, but Emenas only needs more students. With a little effort, it can basically be done well, the problem is only the gap in quality.

"Contestant No. 247, 80 points, 78 points, 84 points, average score 80.6, passed."

A staff member reported the score, and the next student waved his hand excitedly after listening. Although [Bleeding Healing Potion] is not difficult, an average score of 80 or more is almost the standard of excellence. In this preliminary round, most people have been screened out. Those who can pass are considered to have a solid foundation and have really studied it. people.

"Contestant No. 210, 92 points, 90 points, 93 points, with an average score of 91.6 points, passed." After the staff finished reading, there was a burst of applause from below.

"As expected of Miss Orsuna."

"It's only been more than a year since I entered school, and it's hard to get more than 90 points."

Although some students were a little disappointed, Osuna did not get a particularly high score, but it was still above the psychological acceptance line. After all, only 8 people have scored more than 90 points so far, and most of them have just touched the threshold of 90 points.

"Senior Gene is indeed a genius. The teacher's average score is 95, and he currently ranks first."

"Miss Osuna is not bad. She seems to be the only one who has scored more than 90 points in the second year."

As the teacher scored the potions one by one, it was finally the turn of Roland Hill.

One of the teachers picked up the crimson potion, looked at it, and checked it again with extraordinary perception methods, with a hesitant expression on his face.

"What's the matter, Berg?" On the podium, another teacher asked casually, still writing scores and comments to a contestant.

"I'm thinking about how many points I should give this potion. Forgive my clumsiness, I have never seen such a pure potion."

"Oh, let's take a look." The two next to him were also interested. They turned their eyes and took turns to check the potion. The last teacher also opened the cork and poured out a little in the palm of his hand to feel it carefully.

"This just right medicinal property is neither too strong, but also perfectly exerts the effect of the material. I think it can give full marks."

"Perfect score? It hasn't appeared in a long time, so be a little more cautious, 99 points." Another teacher said with consideration, after all, there are only a handful of full scores in the history of the competition. Although they have been immersed in it for many years, they dare not be casual Write down this score.

"It's a pity that today is the preliminary round. Those masters were not there. They are very busy."

"Why don't I

Let's make a compromise, one writes 100, one writes 99, and the other is free? "

"That's it." The other two nodded.

The audience under the stage was also curious when they watched several teachers chatting and talking for a while before writing down the scores. At this time, the staff finally announced the results.

"Contestant No. 54, 100 points, 99 points, 100 points, average score of 99.6, passed."

"Wow....."

There was a commotion in the audience, and they were all looking around, looking for the contestant with the high score. Unfortunately, very few students paid attention to Roland Hill before, and no one knew that she was No. 54 for a while.

"Lorraine, I haven't seen you for a few weeks." The three girls sat down in a corner of the courtyard, where there were stone tables and chairs.

"Long time no see, Bumantha, Lily." Lorraine Hill also took off the hood of his coat at this time.

"I didn't expect Lorraine to come to participate in the competition. If it wasn't for Bumansa's reminder, I really didn't recognize it." Lily said with her hands on the table.

"I'm a little interested, it's not that I don't eat human fireworks, why can't I come to participate in the competition." Roland Hill smiled slightly.

"How should I put it? I used to feel that Lorraine was really like this. Although he was very powerful, he didn't fight for anything. There was an unknown quietness."

Lily recalled the past. In the past, Loren Hill mostly wore white or solid-colored dresses, which was how it felt. But now wearing the red and black uniform issued by the college, suddenly there is a kind of charm and aggression, and the feeling is different. Is this the college's influence on the character of the students? But why are you still so useless...

Lily shook her head, stopped thinking about these messes, and spoke again.

"No matter what the results are, let's have dinner together tonight. It's been a long time since we've been together, and our feelings are indifferent~" Lily said slightly exaggeratedly.

"Chuck... ok."
