Great Nobleman

In the grand banquet hall of the college, Professor Morian was still telling the "inspirational story" about Brand with great emotion, without any intention of stopping.

Seeing this situation, Anna, who had been waiting for a long time, finally couldn't help but dragged "Brand" to Professor Morian's side, ready to interrupt her teacher's impromptu speech.

As an apprentice of Professor Morian, Anna knows the virtue of her teacher very well.

A month ago, his teacher's understanding of Brand was only that this person was his student, at most he knew that Brand was an excellent student.

As for Brand's usual behavior, he didn't pay attention at all!

So the facts are easy to infer that what Professor Morian is telling now is all fabricated by himself.

Anna felt very embarrassed for her teacher by fabricating his past in front of her own face.

On Professor Morian's side, he found someone touching his shoulder and calling his name softly, and he finally stopped his impromptu speech.

Although he was obsessed with bragging about Brand's various deeds, the adoring eyes made him feel as if he had come to the peak of magic.

But anyway, after talking for so long, my throat is already very dry, and now it's time to drink some water to moisten my throat.

While drinking tea, Professor Morian turned his head and looked back, and found that it was his apprentice Anna who interrupted his speech, and he felt a little happier.

"It's Anna! Is Brand over here?"

While speaking, Professor Morian looked around.

Unfortunately, he couldn't see the figure he imagined.

He didn't pay too much attention to this, thinking that maybe Brand had something to do and it was inconvenient right now.

Later, I will bring my friends to find him.

Turning his gaze back to Anna, he saw his little apprentice frowning and looking around with a puzzled look on his face.

Professor Morian couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

Anna looked at her smooth palm, her tone was a little uncertain: "I obviously pulled Brand, but why did he disappear?"

"What did you say?"

Professor Morian, who realized that Anna was not lying, became serious.

Could it be that someone sneaked away?

...

By Moon Lake, Brand was being forced to take an "examination".

Before, tables and chairs suddenly appeared in the open space by the lake.

Brand originally just wanted to get a closer look.

However, in the process of approaching him cautiously, perhaps someone secretly watching was dissatisfied with Brand's moaning.

An irresistible force directly lifted Brand into the air, and then pressed him firmly on the chair.

Then, Brand looked at his right hand "automatically" picking up the "test paper" on the table with a confused face, and then "consciously" focused his eyes on it.

It's just a matter of my brain starting to understand the meaning of the words on the test paper.

The intention of the man in the dark is so obvious, of course Brand understood the meaning immediately.

——I just want him to do the test paper!

Knowing that he couldn't resist, Brand had no choice but to follow the idea of ​​the man in the dark and focus on the test content on the test paper.

[Please follow the steps below to draw the rune and magic circle base on the answer sheet. 】

Each step is described in detail in the subsections below the topic.

What "pigment" is used for which line, what "powder" is coated with which pattern, and what rune is drawn in which circle.

Seeing these, Brand had a sense of déjà vu as if he saw a drawing description.

"Is this the method of drawing the rune circle?"

Because I don't know the drawing process of the rune circle, and I haven't seen the specific appearance of the rune circle.

Brand had no choice but to guess the intention of the question based on his "shallow" knowledge and the description on the question stem.

After seeing all the steps under the question, Brand was surprised to find that he knew this question!

Aside from those weird "painting requirements", the runes inside only involve runes one to three, so in theory, Brand can do it!

"If this is the drawing of runes, I don't think I can do it!"

Because there is only one answer sheet, Brand plans to try it in the simulated world first, and replace the pigments and powders that he has never seen before with something with similar properties.

Glancing at the hourglass in the corner, Brand began to "meditate".

...

On the opposite side of the Moon Lake, the dean of the Imperial Master Academy and a veiled woman with curvy purple hair were watching Brand's every move on the other side of the lake.

They are the "behind the scenes" who took Brand out of the banquet hall.

When Brand started to check the exam questions, the dean seemed to have discovered something interesting, stroked his beard, and teased with a smile on his face:

"Little Celine, just give him an answer sheet? I remember that when you drew the rune circle for the first time, you failed many times!"

Hearing the headmaster's ridicule, the pretty face of the purple-haired woman under the veil frowned slightly, and responded:

"His mental power has just stepped on the threshold of a junior mage apprentice. Even with the refreshment potion, he has only one chance due to the attenuation of the effect of taking the potion multiple times in a short period of time."

Hearing the purple-haired woman's explanation, the dean imitated Brand's voice and continued perseveringly:

"That's right! I only have the mental strength of a junior sorcerer's apprenticeship threshold. Why did I meet such a bad teacher and ask such difficult exam questions?

Isn't this embarrassing me, Brand! Why don't you wait for me to test me when I reach the middle-level mage apprentice or advanced mage apprentice? "

The headmaster's weirdness made the purple-haired woman slightly angry, and this time she was directly angry:

"Old guy! It's not that the group of instructors under you always sneak away unruly! If I don't stop them a little earlier, what chance will I have?

When did apprenticeship not depend on ability but on connections? How many apprentices have I been robbed of over the years? "

"cough!"

After being told about the pain, the smile on the dean's face also restrained a bit, and he defended himself with a little confidence:

"Although there is indeed a reason for me to delegate power, but it's your love and my wish, isn't it?"

Seeing the purple-haired woman's unkind expression, the dean quickly changed the subject and said:

"Is the difficulty of the exam questions you gave Brand a bit too high? Even with my years of experience, I have never met a young man who can successfully draw a rune circle for the first time."

The stern expression of the dean made the purple-haired woman's complexion slightly relieved, and she explained:

"The inheritance of my line of rune circles requires extremely high talent for 'painting'. Before learning the depth, knowledge is secondary. Brand's talent for drawing runes is the highest I have ever seen. Yes, he has a high chance of completing my test."

"Then what if he didn't pass?"

Hearing this, the dean looked very puzzled.

You know, he followed her will and brought Brand over under the pressure of all the tutors in the academy.

If she didn't accept Brand as an apprentice in the end, wouldn't he have done nothing?

But the purple-haired woman said arrogantly: "That proves that Brand's talent is just that, and the matter of recruiting apprentices will be another matter!"

The dean stroked his beard, saw the purple-haired woman's arrogant face, and couldn't help but strike:

"Little Celine, you have not trained a rune magic circle master who has passed the test for eight consecutive years. If it takes another two years, even if rune magic circle is a difficult support subject, I will have to reluctantly reduce the share of resources allocated to you. gone."

After hearing the dean's words, the purple-haired woman panicked, but her face was still arrogant:

"Hmph! Isn't there still two years left!"
