[Chapter 210 The Strong Rise of Lawrence]
…
Seeing Jimmy’s anxious and depressed expression, President Wood said meaningfully: “Jimmy, my old friend, I have reminded you a long time ago that you should bet on the disciple of our Holy Land School of Magic, Ben Stu On Art. With our friendship for many years, do you still not trust the students I trained myself?” “The students
you trained? Hehe, I really don’t believe it.”
Andrew interrupted mockingly, “Jimmy, With Wood’s weak character, the students he trains are definitely not as good as my disciple Charles! How about it? The preliminaries have just begun, we can give you a chance to choose again, and bet your bet on mine Disciple Charles!”
“Jimmy, you really can reconsider, you must know that kid you value, um…he hasn’t done a single question so far.”
Ice Calamity Iswell frowned, using his gaze , looked towards Wu Hui, and motioned, “For the sake of our acquaintance for many years, now you can re-bet on any one of our three disciples. I don’t think any of the three of us I will object.”
President Wood nodded, and Andrew also showed a look of approval.
Jimmy Gunter was a technical geek back then, and the way of magic was just emerging at that time, several of them studied under the same mentor, and this Jimmy Gunter was a good old man in the academy who was indifferent to the world. The big bosses who are a bit contradictory all have a good impression of him.
Therefore, it is not a big deal for Jimmy Gunter to make a fool of himself and make a new choice among the three of their disciples.
After all, for them, the protagonist of this preliminaries matchup is the disciples of the three of them.
“No! I will never change it!”
Jimmy’s old face flushed red, as if something had happened to him, he slapped the table, and said firmly, “I, Jimmy Gunter, is also a great alchemist. People, if you say it won’t change, it won’t change!”
“Oh.” President Wood shook his head, and Iswell also showed a look of regret in his eyes.
What else could they do if Jimmy Gunter was a stubborn old fellow who was determined to lose his fortune?
“Jimmy, you chose this by yourself, don’t say I didn’t give you a chance.” Andrew’s eyes were full of mockery, and he deliberately sneered, “I will accept your ten Philosopher’s Stones without hesitation.” “Humph!
” Jimmy Gunter turned his face away, his expression was meaningless and determined.
It’s just that he was complaining secretly in his heart, brother Wu Hui, losing the Sorcerer’s Stone is a small matter, but I, Jimmy, have an old face, you must guard it for me.
…
“Ah!”
In the preliminaries examination room, Wu Hui suddenly sneezed.
He rubbed his nose disapprovingly, and continued to play with the crystal ball in front of him.
“Interesting, really interesting.”
“Isn’t this the law and application of optical imaging?”
“Yo? There is also a chemistry question, and the test is actually about the replacement reaction of ferrous sulfate.”
Wu Hui sat on the crystal ball Sliding the topic, secretly said it was interesting.
The questions given by these magicians not only include mathematical calculations, but also physics, chemistry, and some simple astronomy and geography questions.
Difficulty ranges from elementary school through middle and high school.
These questions are indeed a bit difficult for people in this world who have not received systematic education, but for people on earth like Wu Hui who have gone through the arduous college entrance examination and have completed four years of college, these questions are just important. Wen’s nine-year compulsory education was nothing more than that.
Of course, there are also some topics related to magic.
For example, how to cast a fireball, and then throw it at what angle and force, and finally successfully hit the stone crab beast 180 meters away.
This question was listed as a comprehensive exam question in the preliminaries, and it was still a bit difficult, with a score of five points.
Of course, as the saying goes, it is not difficult for the attendees. Apart from Wu Hui not knowing how to create a fireball technique, other problems to him are nothing more than oblique throwing in middle school physics.
There are many more such examples. It can be seen that Keith Wood, the current chairman, pays great attention to basic education. If he can learn the basic knowledge from these sources of nature well, he can really become a master in this world famous for fighting spirit and magic. A man full of knowledge.
“I didn’t expect, I really didn’t expect, these old magicians really underestimated them.”
Just as Wu Hui was skating the topic with great interest, the little old man Augustus in his ring, with his hands behind his back, was the old god. emerged.
Under the blessing of divine magic, only Wu Hui can see Augustus in the form of a soul. The conversation between them is also a direct communication at the spiritual level, and outsiders can’t listen to it either.
“The old man thought that the magicians of this era would only play with the surface of some spells. I didn’t expect that they were really pursuing the essence and truth of all things. Although these topics are still very simple, at least it can be seen that the direction they are exploring is correct.”
Augustus the ring spirit nodded, gave a few words of praise without hesitation, and then changed his voice, “But my lord, don’t worry, this knowledge about the nature of all things was just common sense for children in my time. , It’s really not worth mentioning to me.”
“Just give me half an hour, and I promise to let my lord reach the top of the points, until the end of the preliminaries, no one can surpass!”
Augustus looked confident, In order to be able to regain his new life, he wholeheartedly wanted to make contributions, and he did his best to arrange Wu Hui.
“It’s not necessary.”
Wu Hui shook his head and refused, “These questions are very interesting, I can do it by myself. If there is something I don’t understand, I will come to you.” “I will follow
your will.” Augustus respectfully He nodded respectfully, as if there was an attendant, and stood obediently aside, waiting for Wu Hui’s call.
Wu Hui loosened his slippery and tired fingers, and was about to start answering the question, when a suppressed and anxious sigh came from his left front.
Looking up, I found a tall, flamboyant young magician lying on the table in misery, with his hands pulling his hair. It seemed that he had been pushed to the brink of collapse by these weird test questions.
“Isn’t this kid the same Lawrence from before, who was so mad at the air?”
Wu Hui recognized Lawrence at once, thinking to himself that this kid just said openly that today he will trample all the geniuses present under his feet .
Why, just set the flag, now you are going to be slapped in the face?
Turning his gaze again, Wu Hui looked at the ranking on the water screen. The top three were the geniuses that Lawrence wanted to step on.
Thinking of this, an interesting idea began to emerge in Wu Hui’s mind, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Next, this qualifier will definitely be very interesting.
“August the ring spirit.”
“I’m here.”
“That kid is also a person who has accepted the inheritance of ancient magic, go~” “
Yes~ my lord.”
The next moment, August the ring spirit disappeared Wu Hui’s side.
Hehe~ The more Wu Hui thought about it, the more he felt that his bad taste would make the next series of events even more interesting.
I really look forward to it.
…
Time passed by, and the normal qualifiers had gradually entered the white-hot stage.
The water curtain ranking, which is refreshed every few minutes, has been refreshed again and again. Although the top three are always in rotation among the genius of the Holy Land, Ben Stuart, the third prince of the Empire, Charles, and the genius of the Northland Siren, Karen Glacier, this does not affect the many contestants on the scene, as well as those outside the field. The enthusiasm of the audience.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the equal strength of the three geniuses that the championship of this preliminaries will be full of suspense. As for the other contestants, they are trying their best to compete for the only promotion places.
For many contestants, simply qualifying for the first round is considered a success.
In the whole scene, the atmosphere became more and more anxious.
At this moment, Wilde, the host of the preliminaries, glanced at the inverted hourglass, turned around and reminded loudly: “There is still a quarter of an hour left in the preliminaries, contestants, please hurry up!”
“What, what? Just, there’s only the last quarter of an hour?”
“What should I do? I haven’t done a lot…” “
I, I haven’t entered the top 100 yet!” “
It’s too late! Ahhh!”
As a reminder, many contestants at the scene panicked.
A magic moon is about five quarters of an hour, and now there is only the last quarter of an hour left, which means that the qualifiers have entered the final stage. If you don’t make the final sprint at this moment, it means you will be eliminated!
The many contestants on the scene all looked dignified, and almost all of them jumped into the sea of exam questions at almost the same moment.
In the front row of the crowd, three outstanding youths who were dubbed geniuses looked at each other, then lowered their heads and continued to answer questions seriously.
Now the top three are still firmly occupied by them, but the competition between the three of them has only really begun now.
“It seems that those three boys have very solid basic skills.”
President Wood nodded appreciatively. Although they had bet first, from another perspective, these three young disciples have already represented The future of wizardry.
Now that the three of them are so outstanding, as the current president of the Magic Association, he still feels gratified from the bottom of his heart.
“Hehe, although I don’t want to admit it, the students you have taught are really good.”
Andrew, the palace saint magister who has always been defiant, gave a compliment for the first time.
It’s just that before the words of appreciation fell, his expression became unruly again: “You two disciples have proved their excellence by being able to compete with my disciple Charles so far. However, they are still as good as Charles after all. Gap, your disciples will definitely be trampled under by Charles!”
“Huh, what a big tone.”
Ice Calamity Iswell’s eyes like sea snakes showed a cold look, “Now Let us wait and see how your disciple, Charles, tramples me and Brother Wood’s disciples!” The
three big brothers argued with each other and fought against each other.
Jimmy Gunter, the master alchemist who was also sitting on the rostrum, sat beside him sullenly, smoking a pipe alone, not wanting to answer a word.
Because Wu Hui’s younger brother he bet on still didn’t make it to the top 100.
He didn’t know what brother Wu Hui was up to, but this feeling of uncertainty really made him suffer like an ant on a hot pot.
“Huh?”
Jimmy Gunter was a little surprised. He found that an unfamiliar name jumped to the end of the ranking list at this time, and the speed of rising was extremely fast.
This name hadn’t entered the top 100 before, but just now, with the refreshment of the water screen, it jumped to the top 80 in one fell swoop.
But not long after, the water curtain was refreshed again, and the name unexpectedly surpassed more than 20 people and reached 63!
This speed has to be called astonishing. You must know that we have reached the final stage of the preliminaries, and the gap between them has been widened. How difficult is it to catch up with the rankings at this time?
But what happened to that young man? How did he improve his ranking so quickly time and time again?
“Lawrence Campbell?”
The person who also noticed the name, as well as Ice Calamity Iswell, looked sideways and asked President Wood beside him, “Is that a student from the Academy of Magic directly under your Holy Land?”
It’s hard not to attract attention to a person who can quickly improve the ranking again and again at this time, let alone a person who has been quickly catching up all the way from the top 100.
President Wood didn’t answer, and his expression looked a little noncommittal.
Both he and Andrew looked at the ranking water curtain after Iswell made an inquiry.
As a result, upon seeing this, the eyes of the three big men in the stands almost widened.
The water curtain was refreshed again, and that strange young man named Lawrence Campbell actually climbed from the 63rd place just now to the astonishing 35th place in one fell swoop!
During the period, there were more than thirty-two people!
