Chapter 32 It turns out to be a figurehead
"There is an entrance exam in three days. Do you want to go?" Caesar looked satisfied and played with her soft long hair in a very good mood.
Sang Luo snuggled in his arms, greedily taking a deep breath of the cool pine and snowy fragrance on the man's body. It was so pleasant that she couldn't help but bury her head in his chest and muffledly said, "Is the exam difficult?"
"It's not difficult. It mainly tests your talent and combat ability. There's also a written test. If you find it troublesome and don't want to go, I can still recommend you for admission."
Go through the back door, Sang Luo laughed dumbly, "Let's give it a try!" She still has confidence in herself.
The entrance examination for the Alans Military Academy has not changed much from previous years and is mainly divided into three tests.
The first game is a test of talent.
The second round is the written test.
The third round is the highlight, testing students' practical talents.
The talent test in the first round is slightly stricter than in previous years. Male orcs must be under 18 years old and have a talent of level five or above. The most promising and talented young orcs will be selected from the entire empire.
The conditions for females are much more relaxed.
——Young females of childbearing age who have reached the third level of strength can pass the test.
It is enough to see the difference in the college's purpose of recruiting females and males.
Of course, few of the females who entered the academy really wanted to join the army. They all came here to select excellent beast husbands. The male beasts who could pass the selection of the Alans Academy were definitely the elite among the elites of the empire!
The academy is well aware of this, but it cannot show it too openly, so it sets conditions that females also need to complete the test according to the rules.
A female who is too useless and has no talent or ability cannot give birth to highly talented offspring with an excellent male. Taking her in is also a loss of resources.
Sang Luo was not worried about the first level, but was worried about the second level, the written test. She knew nothing about the theoretical knowledge of the military academy.
Three days! If you try to cram at the last minute, you will be kicked by Buddha!
Kaisar took a few papers from the study and gave them to her. "These are the test papers from previous years at the Alans Military Academy. I've sorted them out. You can practice with them first. If you have any questions, you can ask me."
Sang Luo grabbed the test paper and quickly started to do the questions.
Kaisar poured her a glass of fruit milk and asked, "Would you like something to drink?"
"I'm not thirsty."
"Would you like to eat something first?"
"I'm not hungry."
"Take a break before studying. Don't get too tired."
Sang Luo didn't even raise his head, "Not enough! Give me twenty more!"
“…”Is it that difficult?
It's better to try it than to die.
Sang Luo didn't understand the theoretical knowledge of these questions at all, and just memorized the answers...
Three days later.
Arans Military Academy.
Sang Luo didn't want to cause any more commotion on the day of registration and create a few more troublesome rivals, so she changed into simple and low-key clothes and parted ways with Caesar when she arrived at the college.
She arrived early and there weren't many people in front of the line. After the staff checked her information, Sang Luo was taken to the college lobby.
Some people were organizing their equipment, while others were memorizing questions at the last minute.
There are almost several thousand people, not counting those who have not yet completed the registration.
There are only about a hundred females, all of them are dressed gorgeously and have excellent looks, and most of them are aristocratic females from wealthy families.
Each female was surrounded by several orcs, who looked like their partners.
In the actual elimination round of the third round, most females had no chance of being selected based on their strength, so they brought partners of the same age to assist.
The school's leadership also turned a blind eye to this. Being able to compel strong males to fight for their loyalty was inherently a female's ability, and over time, this became an unspoken tradition between the two sides.
Sang Luo looked at the empty space around him and sighed. People still have to rely on themselves.
Soon, the crowd's restlessness calmed down a lot, and the carriage pulled by three giant beasts swaggered into the academy.
This giant beast is a domesticated high-level star beast, the dragon lizard.
This display was truly awe-inspiring! Many orcs were filled with envy!
A handsome and tall white tiger beastman was accompanying them. He lifted the gauze curtain and carried the people down from the carriage.
Sophie Asatay wore a European-style emerald green dress, had golden wavy hair, and pink eyes. She looked like an exquisitely dressed doll and was welcomed at the front of the team by everyone.
Sang Luo raised an eyebrow and asked the caracal orc who was watching the fun nearby, "What is the origin of this Princess Sophie Asata? What a grand ceremony! She doesn't seem to be from the royal family of Alans."
The male orc quickly averted his gaze. Instead, he was struck by the young female before him. Her scent was particularly sweet and alluring. He smiled and patiently explained, "Sophie Asatay's last name is Asatay, so she's certainly not from a royal family!"
"The Beast King only has one son, Dotu Yalans, and no female cubs. Sophie Asatay was a princess that the Beast King suddenly appointed a few years ago from a distant, declining royal relative."
"Being able to connect with the royal family is naturally a great joy for the declining Asatay family. With this female cub they finally obtained, they will rise to the top! However, Sophie Asatay is now nominally the daughter of the Beast King, but in fact the Beast King did not grant her the surname Alans, so her situation is somewhat awkward..."
No wonder Duotu calls Sophie her cousin.
Sang Luo smiled. The old Beast King had no female descendants for marriage, so he just found a female to fill the role.
A fake princess can be used to control Caesar, and it is difficult for the declining nobles to stir up any waves... This old beast king is indeed a good strategist.
When most people have arrived, they enter the test field in batches.
On the rostrum.
Kaiser sat on the right side of the principal.
The noisy crowd below suddenly fell silent, and the deans and teachers present were also extremely nervous. Caesar was not only an admiral of the empire, he also studied in the Alans Empire when he was young. In four years, he broke all the academic records of the Alans Academy, and no one has surpassed him to this day.
No one at the Arans Military Academy was not in awe of this legend.
But this general is usually busy with military affairs and rarely appears in public. How could he have time to watch the freshman selection competition?
The college was not informed in advance to prepare, which made the principal very upset.
Lartu was restless and stressed out, drinking water the whole time.
Could it be that their college has produced some promising students this year?
Caesar's gaze remained fixed on the audience, but with so many students, it was unclear who he was looking at. The dean and teachers all had their own guesses. It wasn't until Sophie entered the room that someone remembered that Admiral Caesar had a marriage arranged with the princess, arranged by the Beast King.
Now the princess has grown up and will be married soon.
The general must have come to see his sweetheart!
Sophie Asatay looked at the handsome man on the podium and was filled with joy. She lowered her head shyly and followed a beastly husband into the first testing room.
When her name was called, Sang Luo glanced at the stage and met the smiling gaze. She blushed, quickly looked away and pretended not to know him, then followed an orc who was leading the way into the classroom where female talents were tested.
"My Lord General, what are the qualifications of this batch of students? Are there any promising prospects among them?" Lartu rubbed his palms and spoke with a smile.
"The qualifications are okay, there are a few seventh-level orcs, but it depends on their subsequent performance. Qualifications don't represent everything." Caesar retracted his gaze, his tone level.
The principal poured a cup of tea and said, "Sir, please try this cup of fine Dragon Drinking Tea. It is a treasure from the East Continent."
"It's my honor."
Kaiser took the tea with a smile, but did not drink it. His slender jade-like fingers gently stroked the rim of the cup and he spoke slowly.
"I've been thinking about the suggestion Principal Lartu made to me last time..."
When Sang Luo arrived at the attic, most of the previous batch of females had finished the test, and nearly half of them did not reach the passing line. There were even many females who had never used their innate powers and could not even do the most basic mobilization of their innate powers.
She didn't see Sophie Asate, perhaps she had finished the test and left.
"Please place your hand on this stone, close your eyes, and mobilize the innate power in your body..." Soon it was Sang Luo's turn, and a refined and handsome male orc came over to remind her.
Sang Luo stood on the stone platform, placed his hand on the two-meter-high stone, and easily mobilized the innate power in his body.
The teachers who came to take the test were all very surprised. It was the first time they had seen a female who could use her innate power so skillfully.
The moment Sang Luo put his hand on it, the talent stone lit up instantly, and the white light was stronger than anyone else's!
His talent was clearly higher than level three, even reaching level four! Level five!
"Thunder talent!" Another teacher who was conducting the test stood up in surprise.
After the light of the talent stone faded away, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck. Fortunately, Sang Luo only used a small part of his talent power, otherwise the talent stone would probably have been broken on the spot.
"Well... may I ask which family you are from?" The tester was extremely respectful.
Thunder talents are extremely rare, and those with Golden Thunder talents are among the top three in terms of attack power, potentially even advancing to S-rank Purple Gold Thunder. This kind of talent is definitely reserved for orcs from aristocratic families. Could she be from the Purple Cloud Leopard clan? But I've never heard of a female Purple Cloud Leopard being born in the last few decades...
Sang Luo, "I'm not from a noble family, I'm just from a small place."
One teacher even specifically looked through the file information filled out when students enrolled.
The identity that Caesar registered for Sang Luo was indeed just an ordinary female with an ordinary background.
"Hello, I'm Glenn Tuya, the student in charge of the combat department. I dare say that with your talent, entering the academy is a sure thing. The future prosperity of the entire family depends on you..." Glenn Tuya smiled meaningfully.
Females with thunder talent are extremely rare in the entire empire, and their talent far exceeds the third level. Once the news is released, I wonder how many children from noble families will pursue them!
Orcs of lower realms value the fertility of females, while orcs with higher talents, especially those above the king level, value the natural abilities of females more.
Because they cannot have offspring at this level, it basically has nothing to do with the female's fertility. It is purely because the female's talent is too weak to match it. Even if they find a female with stronger fertility, it is difficult to give birth to offspring. Even if they are lucky enough to give birth to offspring, they are mixed-race offspring with low talent and it is difficult to continue the family honor.
"The examination room for the second written test is in the west building. I'll take you there. Please be careful on the stone steps." Glenn Tuya was afraid that Sang Luo would bump into something.
Someone went to the principal and informed him of the matter.
"A female with thunder talent has appeared? What's her realm?" Lartu also stood up instantly.
He has been teaching at the academy for over a hundred years, and this is the first time he has seen a female with a talent for thunder!
"The talent stones the academy prepares for females can only test for level three, but based on our past experience, her talent is stronger than level four, and it's very likely she's already reached level five!"
A fifth-level female thunder-type beast might not appear for hundreds of years. The Alans Military Academy has picked up a big bargain this time.
Lartu was so excited that he almost fainted. He hurriedly asked, "Who is that female?"
After seeing the information, Lartu was dumbfounded again and hurried to look at the handsome man on his right.
"this……"
Isn’t this the little female that the Admiral brought here a few days ago?
No wonder he came here in person this time. It was probably not for Sophie Asate, but for this noble lady.
A female with fifth-level thunder talent is more in line with the king beast's mate selection than the princess without talent!
In the classroom for the second written exam.
Sang Luo looked at the test paper and saw questions that were so familiar that they were almost exactly the same as the papers given by Caesar!
This shows how much they don't trust her, they even cheated on the test questions!
Sang Luo could get more than 90 points no matter what he did, and was the first one to leave the examination room in a cool manner. Everyone around him was extremely envious.
The first two talent tests and the written test have eliminated more than half of the orcs.
However, the third round of eliminations is the highlight of the entire freshman competition.
A large number of them will be selected from the remaining 2,000 orcs.
In the end, only 800 people were able to get admission.
Everyone was teleported into a forest.
This is the hunting ground set up by the Alans Academy, where many star beasts are kept, ranging from low-level to high-level. Their mission is to hunt star beasts.
There is a chance that the star beasts will have tokens issued by the academy. The more powerful the star beast, the higher the chance of having a token. The number of tokens is used as the ranking of freshmen's grades, which is updated in real time on the optical computer. The test lasts for half a month, and the top 800 will be admitted.
Several light screens appeared on the stage, synchronously broadcasting the situation in the hunting ground.
There is a possibility that seventh-level star beasts will appear in the hunting grounds. In order to ensure the safety of the freshmen, senior students will lead the team.
Sang Luo radiated her spiritual power, covering an area of several dozen meters, encompassing everyone's every move. Suddenly, she stopped.
The senior student leading the team gave her a cold look from behind and said with a slight sneer, "A female from a remote village, without even a decent male by her side. Haha, a lowly female rat that no one wants. You may come in alive, but you may not leave alive..."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Sang Luo heard the curse and frowned. This man had great malice towards her. How did he know that she was a female rat?
Sang Luo expanded his mental power a little more and saw him walking quickly towards a figure.
