The exam, which lasted for a whole morning and three hours, finally came to an end. The moment Alok and the others walked out of the door, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Then, they nervously and anxiously compared answers with each other, and soon they were arguing with each other.
"Impossible! I have verified it several times. The wizard who encountered the plane crash should reach the ground in the 31st second." Alok said confidently.
"Then you must have calculated it wrong. The formula for this problem should be distance S = initial velocity V*time t+1/2a t^2. You need to set the free fall time to t1 first... and finally the total fall time is twenty-four seconds, and the free fall distance is eighty meters!" A wizard refuted.
Alok checked the calculation in his mind and his face suddenly turned very ugly.
That’s it. So he got another question wrong.
Peirce on the side breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had urgently reviewed several formulas of free fall last night, otherwise he would have been doomed today.
…
Inside the examination room, Lin En was looking at the collected answer sheets, which were being graded by Orlando and others.
Although they may not be able to do it themselves, they can still have no problem with the answers.
"Dean Lin, it looks like not many people will be able to pass the exam this time..." Orlando couldn't help but shook his head after flipping through more than a dozen test papers. This was similar to what he had estimated. Judging from the proportion, only 30% of the people would be able to pass the written exam.
Is it that difficult? Lin En was also a little surprised. The brains of wizard apprentices should be very useful. Even if they are not all geniuses, they must be better than normal people.
But after thinking about it carefully, Lynn quickly realized the problem.
Even though the questions he asked were not difficult this time, these wizard apprentices had not studied for a long time, just over a year in total, but they needed to master a lot of things - he taught all the physics, chemistry knowledge in elementary and junior high school, and even some high school knowledge points.
In addition, they often skipped classes to deal with personal matters or to participate in academic seminars and kingdom wars, which meant that they had to spend a lot of time studying on their own.
So it seems that this exam is... seems... a little bit harder? Lin En touched his chin, and after seeing a few high-scoring exam papers, he immediately rejected this idea.
Since some people were able to get high scores, it means that the test questions he set were not very difficult...
Among them, the one who performed the best was undoubtedly Johnny. Except for three wrong answers to the last five difficult questions that he had deliberately prepared, he got almost all the others right!
In addition to being a formal wizard with stronger computing power than an apprentice, it is obvious that he also works hard in his daily life.
What surprised Lin En the most was Lydia. She actually scored 88 points on the test paper, and all the mistakes she made were related to the properties of elements. She even solved several difficult questions that he had specially prepared.
"She is indeed a genius in engineering!" Lin En said with emotion.
"Dean, you shouldn't have let Lydia take this test. What if she really passed it? You are not going to give a wizard medal to a halfling who can't do magic, are you?" Orlando said hesitantly.
"Of course, as long as she can pass the exam, becoming a wizard is no big deal." Lynn said calmly.
"But if this happens, Lydia might become a laughing stock among wizards, and even be targeted by some people who think she has insulted the noble identity of a wizard..." Orlando looked worried. He felt that the dean's thinking was too simple. What's the use of a title for a wizard who can't do magic?
"Even if she can't cast magic, Lydia can still be an alchemist, right? She built an airship on her own, and she also contributed a lot to the research of internal combustion engines and electromagnetic railguns." Lin En reminded.
But for a wizard who can't do magic, it's strange no matter how he thinks.
While he was struggling, Lin En continued with a smile, "And who said that Lydia couldn't use magic?"
Orlando looked confused. It was common knowledge in the wizarding land that halflings had no magical talent, and no one had ever broken it before.
Lydia has been an apprentice for more than a year, but she can't even master the most basic [Water Condensation Technique] and [Material Deconstruction Technique].
Could it be possible that the dean could help a person without any talent to successfully master magic and become a wizard?! This is even more outrageous than the sun falling from the sky!
Lynn kept it a secret and didn't explain, but just told Orlando that he would know in a few days.
…
In the afternoon, the apprentices who had suffered a lot in the written test finally had the practical class they were familiar with.
There are five subjects in total: elements, shaping, alchemy, potions, and practical exercises, which are divided into two days...
Over the past year or so, although Yieta's wizard students have had a lot more arduous courses, many things are interconnected.
For example, the chemistry subject involves the properties and changes of elements, so they did not fall behind in these basic courses. The training of computing power through Mathematical Olympiad also brought their magic reserves close to the limit, so the number of students applying for graduation this time is much higher than in previous years.
Knowing that his grades on the morning's written exam would not be very good, Peirce worked extra hard and performed exceptionally well, passing the first four subjects with excellent grades.
As for the final actual combat exercise, it was the easiest one. Their opponents were three magical puppets whose combat power was equivalent to that of fully armed guards, so it naturally did not take much effort to deal with them.
Even Lydia managed to kill these puppets one by one using her carefully crafted musket.
On the morning of the third day, it was time to announce the results. All the students in the magic academy gathered together, waiting in agony and anxiety.
When I received the transcript and saw that I had successfully passed the assessment, I was delighted, but there were obviously more people who had failed.
Even taking the average score, less than 40% of people passed the graduation exam.
"Damn, I was just that close!" Debra looked at the conspicuous "58 points" on the test paper and felt extremely upset. If she had reviewed a few more times, or if the professor had been a little more lenient, she would have passed the exam.
Now I have to wait another year... Debra reflected on this to herself, and at the same time, a burst of warm cheers rang out beside her.
"Great...I passed!"
