My love game is too abstract

The email for the second round of assessment arrived the next day, requiring them to go to the Blue茵 Grassland at the Horogwarts Academy headquarters in three days for the assessment.

The letter only included a silver-plated nameplate with their identity information. It didn't say what to prepare or reveal anything about the assessment. Judging from the urgency, it seemed they didn't want to give them time to prepare.

"I wonder what the practical exam will be like?" Yarrow thought.

Serena didn't know either. The academy's assessment projects changed every year to ensure no repetition and prevent cheating. The secrecy level was high, making it difficult for past projects to leak out.

"I've only heard that one year, the assessment involved candidates entering a maze and retrieving a trophy from the center within a set time. Various unexpected situations would occur along the way."

Serena said, then looked troubled:

"I've also heard that the annual assessment projects drive some candidates crazy. That's why they have to sign a waiver before the assessment."

"Drive candidates crazy?"

Hearing this, Yarrow became even more eager.

Three days later, they arrived at the gate of Horogwarts Academy.

The written exam was held off-campus, so this was their first time entering the academy.

After showing the gatekeeper the letter with the academy's seal and verifying their identities, they were allowed to enter.

As an academy that had existed for five hundred years, Horogwarts had a very retro architectural style. The red-roofed buildings were made of gray stone bricks, and some stone walls were covered with green vines, giving a sense of antiquity and artistry.

Inside the school were winding paths of cobblestones, covered with fallen leaves, leading in all directions.

However, candidates like them were only temporarily authorized to enter the campus, and the only area they could go to was the assessment area. There were various signs along the way indicating that it was a restricted area for non-academy personnel.

If you crossed the boundary, a goblin with a loudspeaker would suddenly appear and emit an ear-piercing siren in your ear. If you insisted on going forward, the loudspeaker goblin would turn into a two-meter-tall muscleman with a loudspeaker for a head and throw you out.

Yarrow and Serena followed the signs to the Blue茵 Grassland.

It looked like a stadium, or rather, it was a stadium. The surrounding area was surrounded by high stands and seats, and there was a podium at the top of the stands, indicating that events were often held here.

It was still half an hour before the assessment began. He looked around and saw that there were about two hundred people present.

Because they were an extra batch of admissions, there wasn't much fanfare. Only a large banner was hung on the stand, indicating that this was the assessment area.

Many faculty members were already preparing for the assessment around the grassland.

Taking advantage of this time, Yarrow went to the candidates, hoping to hear something about the assessment from them.

"I'm so nervous... I heard that this year's exam is particularly difficult."

"Fortunately, I prepared early and spent a lot of money to buy useful magical items, and they're specially designed for cheating, so they definitely won't be discovered."

"You can't cheat your ass. The chief examiner this time is the Sacred Beast Mengjiasi. How can you cheat under His eyes?"

"Hoo hoo, don't be nervous, don't be nervous, take a deep breath..."

It seemed that others didn't know much either and were very nervous. Some were even reciting the Complete Book of Backing Spells to calm their emotions.

"Mengjiasi, Sacred Beast..."

Yarrow had never seen the kingdom's Sacred Beast before. He only appeared at the annual Harvest Festival. However, judging from some paintings, the Sacred Beast's image was similar to a unicorn, but much more beautiful than a simple unicorn, covered in pure white feathers.

"I'm so excited to see the Sacred Beast in person."

Serena looked longing. "I heard that anyone who has seen the Sacred Beast's image will marvel at His beauty and think it is the most sacred thing in the world."

"Is it that exaggerated?" Yarrow didn't believe it.

"We'll see in a while, won't we?" Serena said.

Soon after, a teacher stood on the high platform and shouted:

"The assessment is about to begin! Please prepare here!"

So, everyone gathered towards the position below the high platform.

Just as they were looking at the high platform, wondering how to start, a magic circle lit up in the center of the grassland.

The magic circle was huge, occupying almost a third of the grassland. With a flash of light, a ten-meter-high dark white marble platform rose from the magic circle, suddenly appearing in front of everyone.

The platform resembled a ring, occupying a third of the grassland. In the midst of surprised gazes, several teachers wearing advanced mage robes walked out of the platform. They were the supervisors of this assessment.

Standing in the center was an old man with a white beard, looking like Gandalf, leaning on a cane. He cleared his throat and shouted to them:

"Good afternoon, everyone. I am the vice-principal of this school, Crowell Hagen, and also the supervisor of this test. First of all, I am very happy that you chose Horogwarts Academy as your goal, and I also congratulate you on passing the first round of written test. Of course, the written test is too easy compared to what you are about to face."

When he said the last sentence, he showed a faint smile, but among the two hundred or so candidates under the stage, this amiable smile seemed a bit sinister.

"In addition, I am very honored that the chief examiner of this assessment is our kingdom's Sacred Beast, Your Majesty Mengjiasi—"

As soon as his voice fell, a soft light shone on the high marble platform, carrying an extremely pure life aura. A large number of blue vines with flowers grew out of it, supporting a pure white figure slowly walking out.

His image was similar to a unicorn, with a spiral horn on the forehead. His head was a combination of a rabbit and a wolf, looking more agile. He had a pair of full wings on his back, and his whole body was covered with pure white feathers. Only his mane, chest, tail, and four feet had some light green fluff.

On the horn on His head, there were twinkling fluorescent green spots, which were the power of the Sacred Beast, possessing an incomparably rich life aura.

This life aura was so rich that vines with flowers spread around His body, sending out bursts of fragrant wind.

Beautiful, holy, transcending the mortal world.

This was what everyone under the stage felt when they saw Him.

Mengjiasi looked at the candidates below and opened his mouth. His voice was more feminine, very ethereal and soft:

"I will be the chief examiner this time and will be with you until the end of the assessment. I hope you can bring out your best state. Here, I also congratulate you in advance for passing the assessment and successfully enrolling. Of course, even if you fail, please don't be discouraged. Only if you have worked hard, that is the greatest recognition for yourself."

"That's the Sacred Beast... so beautiful, it really feels like His beauty doesn't belong to this world..."

Serena looked up and exclaimed under the stage.

"Don't you think so? Yarrow, Yarrow, what's wrong with you?"

Serena turned her head, but saw that Yarrow's face was tight, and there was cold sweat slipping from his forehead.

"Are you nervous again?" Serena said helplessly.

"Ah, yes, a little, but, but it doesn't matter." Yarrow smiled reluctantly.

His tension now definitely didn't just come from the upcoming assessment, but a pop-up window appeared in front of his eyes again:

【Look, that is the Saintess of the Great Church group, but don't be afraid, try to launch your offensive against her and make her fascinated by you!】

What made him even more nervous was that after this pop-up window disappeared, Mengjiasi on the high platform looked at him very obviously.
