Elite Mages’ Academy

The setting sun has completely fallen below the horizon, leaving only a few fire clouds floating in the sky.

"Before that, let me explain to you a little bit about the laws of science." Song Junlang pondered for a moment, deliberating his words, and said, "The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, flowers wither and bloom, birth, old age, sickness and death...these natural laws can be called Laws, we are already familiar with these laws on earth, so we take it for granted. When the pioneers set foot on the world of Norma, they accidentally discovered that when the power is strong enough, these laws and laws can be forcibly changed. Of course, changing the laws It is extremely difficult, and even an unbearable heavy price has to be paid, so far, the only one who knows how to change the law successfully is the senior I mentioned who created the law of immortality for colonists all over the world."

"Then what is the flaw in the law of immortality?" Xiao Lin asked.

"Didn't you already know the flaw? True immortality is impossible to achieve. This law only gives the colonists a chance to be resurrected. In the Norma world, affected by the law, all colonists who are branded as colleges will die every time they die. Deduct the life value of 20 years."

"Wait!" Xiao Lin quickly stopped Minister Song, and said strangely: "Didn't you say that 10 years of life value will be deducted from death? Why did it become 20 years?"

Song Junlang was helpless: "Wait for me to finish... I'm talking about in the world of Norma, although it is impossible to achieve real immortality, this law is enough to allow us to have a great advantage when we colonize foreign worlds and fight against local natives. Advantages... Until later everyone discovered that the law is not only effective in the world of Norma, on the earth, in the Dawn Academy, and even when we conduct simulation exercises, that is, the so-called exams, the law of deducting lifespan from death is still valid! For all People, even the predecessors who created this law back then, this is an unexpected result."

After a moment of silence, Xiao Lin tried his best to digest the astonishing information, such as laws, which are very distant things to him, and asked: "Then what about erasing the brand? Wouldn't it be better to temporarily erase the brand during the simulated battle?" Is it okay?"

Minister Song smiled wryly: "How can it be so simple? During the physical examination of freshmen, they will be automatically imprinted with a soul mark. Anyone who has this mark will be effective, but this kind of soul mark is only given once in a person's life. If it is erased, it will never be re-engraved. So those who are driven back to Earth, even if they may return in the future, have only one chance to live."

Xiao Lin was still puzzled: "Then why is there still an exam?"

Song Junlang said: "When we first discovered this astonishing result, Dawn Academy immediately terminated all mock exams in order to protect students who had not yet graduated. The limited water of life has gradually been unable to keep up with the loss of everyone's lifespan, especially at that time when the Shuguang Academy was in a war with the orcs, and many people died!"

"die?"

"That's right, it's real death! This is ridiculous. After possessing the law of resurrection, Dawn Academy paid more casualties for it!" Song Junlang shook his head and sighed: "Calculate the casualties after the war with the orcs." , more than 70% of those who died were students who enrolled after the mock exam was terminated, as for the reason, I think you can guess it."

Xiao Lin smiled wryly: "Is there a difference between recruits and veterans?"

"Yes, the most casualties in a war are always recruits. Everyone knows this common sense, but no one is willing to bring it up before that. Those who have been trained in the academy for several years seem to have just stepped out of an ivory tower. They just Students, not even soldiers! Even if they had the chance to be resurrected, they would quickly squander their lifespan without the slightest combat experience, and eventually died tragically at the hands of the orcs."

Speaking of this, the expression on Minister Song's face is also slightly heavy: "Since that war, Shuguang Academy has officially resumed the simulation exercise system,

Also known as the monthly exam. There is no difference between dying in the simulation battle and dying in the new world itself, not to mention that Dawn Academy is located in an independent space, and the influence of the law is not as strong as in the Norma world. A death here only deducts 10 years of life, while Death in the Norma world will deduct 20 years of life! "

The cool wind hit, and the last ray of the setting sun was also submerged in the darkness. As night fell, two rounds of moons, one large and one small, rose into the night sky.

After listening to the history of the monthly exam, Xiao Lin was in a complicated mood. When he came back, it was already dark, and he smiled wryly. At this time, the door of the dormitory building must be locked.

"Spend the night with me!" Song Junlang got up, patted the dirt on his body, and said with a smile: "I can't help you with tomorrow's exam, after all, as I said just now, it is better to die once or twice now than to die in the future It's better to go to the new world and die."

"I understand." Xiao Lin also sighed.

"But I can give you some advice." Minister Song turned his head to the side, thought for a while, and said, "This exam has been made less difficult to take care of the freshmen. As far as I know, most of the enemies you will face will not Use any skills, but your own strength is still too low after all, and the difficulty will increase because of this! The most important thing is that many of you have no experience, and pig teammates are sometimes more terrifying than god opponents."

"Remember that the core of the mission is reconnaissance, not combat! You must avoid direct conflict. Even if the enemy's strength is greatly reduced, it is not something you can fight now. This is the key to survival."

"This task assesses comprehensive strength, intelligence, and teamwork. If the tactics are right, you don't even need to fight at all. I think the student union will arrange this difficult map for the first monthly exam for freshmen out of this consideration. You have to look at that map carefully, and write it down carefully. In fact, the difficulty of being able to distribute the map has been reduced by at least half this time."

"Didn't you say that you haven't passed the mock battle?" Xiao Lin couldn't help muttering.

Song Junlang rubbed his nose and said resentfully: "Hey, I haven't passed the test, but this is a classic battle in the United States. When I was a guest at the Judgment Academy, the people there repeated this battle in my ears. It's been nagging for almost a week, and it's hard to forget."

"Thank you!" Xiao Lin was slightly moved, being able to say this was enough for him.

Song Junlang waved his hands and muttered as he walked, "If you die casually, where can you find such obedient experiment candidates in the future?"

...

Declining the therapeutic meal offered by Minister Song, Xiao Lin got ready to go to bed early at night, but tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Minister Song's words brought him too much shock and thought. Lying on the bed, he thought a lot about himself, about the new world, about Gu Xiaoyue, and about the first mock monthly exam.

That night, he suffered from insomnia again.

The exam started at 8 o'clock in the morning, and Xiao Lin, who had suffered from insomnia for most of the night, still got up at 7 o'clock. He still firmly refused all kinds of strange breakfasts prepared by Minister Song, and went back to the dormitory to get his dagger and novice staff After that, he came to the public classroom of Class Seven early.

There have been ten or twenty people in the classroom, more or less with big dark circles under their eyes. It seems that Xiao Lin is not the only one who suffers from insomnia that day. Under the pressure of deduction of life value after death, everyone seems very nervous. Everyone was chatting around, trying to calm down with words.

Xiao Lin silently sat in the corner, put the weapon on the table, took out the distributed data map, and looked at it carefully. According to the system of the monthly exam, these materials cannot be brought into the actual combat environment, which means that he You have to use your brain to quickly memorize the rough topographic map of the canyon. ) Book friends, pay attention!
