Chapter 194: Is this considered a temporary reinforcement?
The next day, the admissions examination took place.
Kira followed Conas, Gulan, and Haiberion and sat upright in the guest area, trying their best to not look like they were here for the first time.
But this look made Conas think that he was nervous, and she couldn't help but laugh: "Don't be so nervous, little Kira~ You don't need to do anything later."
Kira turned his head and looked at Conas's pretty face. It was a good thing that Conas was pretty, otherwise he would .
"Hmm?" He looked at Conas with a puzzled look in his eyes, "I'm not nervous!"
"If you're not nervous, then...why are you twirling your thumbs in circles?"
This is because I pressed it while sleeping last night, so I wanted to move around.
"This... is a personal hobby."
"Yeah, well, it seems I misunderstood." Conas reached out and patted Kira's shoulder: "I wonder what you think of today's game?"
She was a very smart person and knew that boys of this age tended to have strong self-esteem. At times like this, she should just go along with what he was saying or change the subject.
Kira: "Hey, hey...what's with your obvious disbelief and abrupt change of subject? ! "
"I'll sit and watch..." Kira answered casually, and then tentatively asked, "It should be able to reduce the number of people by half, right?"
There are three levels in total. 80% of people pass the first level. Assuming that only 10% of the registered people are left in the end, then just subtract 50% of the existing number of people from the second level, the survival rates of the three levels will just form an arithmetic progression. This is simply the joy of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Thinking of this, Kira's mouth curled up slightly: What perfect data! It must be like this! I am so smart! I guessed it all!
Conas narrowed her eyes, nodded, and smiled: "More than half, in the second round we only plan to eliminate more than 70% and leave 100 people for the third round!"
Kira: “…”
Gulan asked curiously, "Didn't they say that this class of students was relatively outstanding? Why were so many eliminated?"
Haiberion also looked at Conas, his eyes also revealing confusion.
"Because there were quite a lot of children left yesterday, we temporarily increased the difficulty of the second level," Conas explained, "but in contrast, the clearance rate of the third level will increase a lot, and it may be the highest ever."
Is this ok?
Kira stopped talking: "Sure enough, no matter what age a woman is, her mind is so hard to guess! Isn't it good to have a simple equal clearance rate? First increase the difficulty, then relax the clearance requirements, isn't this bullying the honest people? But this has nothing to do with me, I'm just a spectator!"
As the children entered one after another, the examination venue immediately became much more crowded. This familiar scene reminded Kira of the guild competition a while ago.
However, before, he was a contestant, and now he is a guest. The status is different, and the feeling is also very different. Sitting there, Kira has an urge to give some advice.
A cool summer breeze blew through the examination room, carrying the noisy voices of children talking to the guest area.
"Look, the old lady sitting up there is the dean of the academy. Whether we can get into the academy depends on her."
“Puff—cough cough cough…”
Even though he tried his best, even stopping his thumb from twiddling and secretly pinching his fingertips to hold back the laughter in his heart, Kira still couldn't keep his face calm in the end, and could only cough to cover up the laughter that was almost exposed.
Glancing to the left with the corner of his eye, he saw that Conas's face was indeed dark, and the murderous aura on her body was about to affect Kira. There was a cold light in her eyes, and her pair of black pupils were fixed on the boy who was speaking.
Haha, let’s observe a minute of silence for this child.
Kira looked past Conas and towards Gulan and Haiberion. The former was dozing with his eyes squinted, as if saying, "I'm old and my hearing is not good. I didn't hear anything just now"; the latter looked normal, shaking his milk cup, taking a sip, and looking calm and relaxed.
So strong! They are really strong! I am still too young! I will never brag again, saying that I am on par with the top ten saints or that I can beat the twelve shields!
At this moment, the same gust of wind brought the words of other children: "Oh ~ that old lady is so beautiful!"
Kira was speechless: "It's said that if my sister is pretty, she shouldn't be called Obasan! Is this child so stupid? Who taught her this?"
Another voice came: "Who is the brother next to that old lady? He looks so young! How can he sit there? And he is so handsome!"
Kira nodded secretly: That's right, this is how children should be taught! This child has vision! High emotional intelligence! A promising talent! He will become a great man in the future!
Hmm, that’s strange, why do I suddenly feel like I’m being watched?
"Little Kira seems very happy?" Conas's gentle voice came from my ear.
murderous look!
Kira turned his head stiffly and found that the woman next to him was facing him, squinting her eyes and smiling. She looked very friendly, but the black leather gloves on her hands showed signs of aging.
"No!"
At the critical moment, Kira brought out his acting skills that he had honed for many years, "It's just that this kind of exam reminds me of the Guild Competition not long ago. The Demisol Magic Academy is indeed the premier magic academy in the Kingdom of Fiore, and it is full of talented people."
"They are still far behind little Kira." Conas said softly, pointing at the child who had just spoken. "No matter in which aspect, these children still need to be taught!"
Kira looked at her outstretched slender fingers. The black leather gloves used to prevent magic from leaking were almost pierced by her uncontrollable magic power. He nodded in fear: "You are right!"
The host of the second exam was a teacher from Demisool Academy. He was plain-looking, much worse looking than Kira, but he spoke concisely and clearly, and explained the exam rules in an easy-to-understand way: four people would fight in a group, and the one standing last would pass!
Kira looked at Conas in surprise: "Is this what you said, temporarily strengthening the second level?"
How can such a low-tech thing be called enhancement? What were the original rules? A free-for-all of three?
Conas did not answer Kira's question. She must be still angry, so Kira naturally did not dare to bring bad luck upon herself again.
"A four-person free-for-all? Interesting," Gulan said in his weathered voice, shocking Kira. "This way, we can easily decide who will pass the level, and we can also test the overall strength of the children..."
Kira felt his intelligence was insulted, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether the old man was sincere or just being sarcastic.
Multiplayer melee, this is the most clichéd assessment, right? Is it worthy of such praise? Or is there something tricky here that I can't see?
Haiberian said seriously, "When the number of participants far exceeds expectations, a multiplayer free-for-all is indeed a good way to quickly screen out outstanding contestants."
Is it because the overall IQ of this world is too low that I have become so proud?!
"But, if we do this, we will have to hold hundreds of events. Isn't that too time-consuming?"
"The examination venue is large enough, so it's not a problem to hold 20 or 30 games at the same time," Conas said to Kira, "and children have less magic power, so a game only takes about 10 minutes, and the results can be out in half a day."
"What if two highly gifted children are assigned to the same group?"
"Don't worry about that. The invigilator will make the judgment. If both of you show enough talent, you can advance at the same time!"
"What if a genius encounters a genius who is far superior to him, and is killed instantly, without having a chance to show his true strength?"
Conas: “…”
Kira's repeated questioning finally stumped her. She had not thought of this before and was about to say "It's just their bad luck", but she felt that it would be unworthy of the dean's status.
In the end, he could only bite the bullet and say nonsense: "In fact, those who failed the second level still have a chance in the third level!"
Conas: Looks like I have to work overtime again tonight...
