Magus Tech (Technological Wizard)

To commemorate himself being one year older, Machu followed the trend, and at the end of the year, he went to a newly opened magical place called "Photo Studio" in Atlanta.

In the "photo studio", Machu paid one silver coin and twenty copper coins with blood in his heart—you know, this is a lot of money, even higher than the price of finding Mrs. Jaina. It's almost time to have dinner with Miss Julia.

But anyway, after paying the money, Machu got the right to stand in front of a strange machine.

In front of an instrument with a tripod, Machu tried to widen his eyes, followed the instructions of the person next to him, and showed what he thought was the brightest smile, and tried to keep it for three seconds.

"Crack!"

Under a dazzling light, Machu ended the expensive consumption, and was told to come to pick up the photos in three days.

Early in the morning three days later, Machu left the warm bed, hurried to the photo studio, and saw the so-called photos.

On the thin, half-palm-sized cardboard, he was prepared but still surprised to see that his smile three days ago was clearly printed on it. . Even in black and white, people can't help but be amazed, it's so similar—it's more similar than the most skilled painters.

This one silver coin and twenty copper coins are really worth it... Machu sighed and went back to the student dormitory on the main campus of Atlanta University, carefully sandwiching the photo in a printed book.

After that, Ma Qiu took out this photo to admire from time to time, looking at his own smile in the photo, he couldn't help but think that his life in the new year would definitely get better and better.

And it turned out—he was wrong—wrong.

On the day the photo was taken, because he spent one silver coin and twenty copper coins, although he was smiling, he was actually in a bad mood.

Compared with the next year, this day, which was in a bad mood, was a rare happy day.

The reason is impossible, only because Atlanta University has been restructured.

Machu actually didn't know much about the restructuring. However, my personal experience is that the courses I study and the research I conduct suddenly become much more difficult, and there are many more assessments. If you fail the assessment three times in a row, you will be warned. If you get three warnings, you will be dismissed.

If the assessment is only related to whether he can master the course content, Machu is not too worried. However, what he hates about the restructuring is that some courses are not only based on whether they have mastered the content of the courses, but also compared with others. The university’s argument is that educational resources are limited, and only a relatively good group of people can stay. .

To give an example, in the assessment of Holt's ancient linguistics course, there were 187 people who took the exam with him, and the total score of the exam was 100 points. If he didn't reach 60 points, he would definitely be judged as unqualified, but if he reached 60 points or above, it didn't mean he would definitely pass.

Specifically, his score must be ranked in the top 90% of all people to be qualified. If it is strict, it must be in the top 75%, and if it is looser, it must be in the top 95%.

Under this premise, he and all the people taking the exam are in a competitive relationship, not only to master the knowledge, but also to ensure that he is not the one who masters the worst. In the extreme case, if everyone in the class gets 100 points in the test—the full score, then as long as he does one wrong question and gets 99 points in the test, he will still fail.

This situation is repeated 9 times, and he will be forced to leave Atlanta University.

This forced him to study hard and catch up with those who competed with him, and then he finally discovered how bad he was.

As I said before, he entered Atlanta University just after reaching the qualification line in the Atlanta University assessment. In a sense, his luck is stronger than his ability.

Except for a very few lucky ones like him who entered the University of Atlanta by virtue of their luck, the rest of the students seemed to Machu to be like monsters. Super strong.

Many of these students,

They are all of noble origin, and have been educated by many tutors since they were young. Compared with him, they are not at the same starting line.

At this time, Machu rejoiced more than once that he had chosen magic linguistics.

Relying on his language ability, he could barely pass the various language tests, and he would not fall to the bottom, but occasionally he still fell into the dangerous range of the bottom 5% a few times, and he was recorded as failing twice—one more time, he would be banned. warn.

In order to avoid being warned, in order to avoid persuasion after three warnings, Machu gritted his teeth and studied hard day and night, using 12% of his energy to study and study.

This year, he almost lost all forms of entertainment and devoted all his time to studying. Even the habit of going out to invite a lady for dinner every week has changed, and it has become that he only goes out for seven days in two months. Second-rate.

It's been a tough year like this.

At the end of the year, Machu spent two silver coins and sixty copper coins in a photo studio to take a color photo that had only become popular in recent months.

Looking at the clearer self in the color photos, Machu looked at himself for the past year, and suddenly realized one thing, that is, there is no future for him to continue struggling to study like him.

Although he has a certain learning ability, he is really not strong compared to other people in the same discipline, and he will be killed in seconds compared to people in magic chemistry, magic biology and other disciplines. Therefore, no matter how hard he tried, the assessment results would only fluctuate between passing and failing, not even a good one.

In this way, it is almost impossible to stay in school if you persist in the third school year.

Being unable to stay in school does not mean that there is no way out, but according to the consensus of many students in the university, the way out is much narrower.

After more than two years since its establishment, the University of Atlanta has become an integral part of the entire city of Atlanta and Sarin, and is well-known throughout the continent. If you graduated from Atlanta University and left, it would not be difficult to find a good job, or apprentice to a wizard.

But if you stay at Atlanta University, you will obviously get more.

After all, Atlanta University has only been established for more than two years, and it has developed to this level. Who knows how terrifying the future will become. Staying in the University of Atlanta and becoming a permanent part of the University of Atlanta will have a great possibility of crossing classes.

You must know that there are many noble children on the campus here, and the connections you gain from staying here are not simply measurable by money.

But having said that, how easy is it to get the qualification to stay in school?

Machu has no confidence. His best grades in the course assessment are in the top 52%, and only when the average grades in the assessment reach the top 10% can there be some hope.

Then, he can only find some other ways.
