Chapter 316 Written Examination
In the magic kingdom, the written examination for the white card qualification certification examination consists of four subjects, namely "Runes", "Arithmetic", "Analysis of Remaining Beasts", and "Kingdom's Law and Mission Behavior Code".
Of these four subjects, Runeology naturally examines the magical girl's knowledge of magic and mysticism, because whether it is interpreting the classics of the country, studying the spells, or making magic props, it is inseparable from the corresponding rune knowledge. For magical girls, this quality is naturally indispensable.
Next is "Arithmetic", which is used to verify and ensure that magical girls have the ability to deal with arithmetic problems in an emergency. This is also recognized as the easiest subject. Its scope and difficulty are roughly equivalent to fifth and sixth grade mathematics in the material world, and there are no tricky questions. It can be said that as long as a magical girl has received basic education, she will definitely pass it.
As for the "Analysis of Remaining Animals", as a key subject in the written examination, the difficulty is much higher. The content of the examination is not limited to the classification of the types of remaining animals, the abilities of remaining animals at different stages, the conventional physiological characteristics and indicators of remaining animals, but also involves many knowledge points at the microscopic level.
Take the first essay question in the previous year's exam as an example. The question is: "Please list the three functional changes in the physiological stimulus transmission structure of the consciousness body of the covered-organ remnant after it evolves from the egg to the larvae stage. If it mutates during evolution and becomes an open-organ remnant, what are its functional changes? And try to list more variants (extra points)."
Such questions can be said to be everywhere in the exam of the entire subject, which is a very severe challenge to the knowledge reserve of each magical girl candidate. If they are from big cities and have experienced seniors in the team, it is okay. They can gradually learn from their seniors in daily operations and slowly accumulate this knowledge. But if they are magical girls from small places, their seniors may have mediocre scores in "Analysis of Remaining Beasts", and they can't learn anything even if they want to learn.
Magical girls like this can only buy special exam preparation textbooks, but in fact not all magical girls have the ability to read books and study on their own, so there are special tutoring classes in the country to help some magical girls who lack knowledge of the subject.
After these three basic subjects, there is the examination on "National Legal Principles and Work Code of Conduct".
This test was originally designed to allow magical girls to learn the law and regulate their behavior, so as to ensure that they can protect the general public to the greatest extent during the mission and avoid unnecessary casualties and losses. Therefore, in the early days of the assessment system, this subject was actually as simple as mathematics, and most candidates could pass it if they were willing to memorize the textbooks.
However, as the times progressed, in order to serve as a warning to those who came after, this subject began to include various cases of non-compliant execution of tasks, or cases where magical girls violated relevant national regulations. Later, in order to ensure that the candidates really understood the principles, the questions gradually incorporated the analysis and deconstruction of these cases. Today, this subject has become a hodgepodge of task regulations for testing magical girls against various units, such as residual beasts, urban public infrastructure, the public, human criminals, fairies, and magical girl traitors.
Taking the exam questions from the previous year as an example, one of them is: "A magical girl mishandled the battlefield during her subjugation of a remnant beast, causing toxic substances to enter the city's underground water network. In order to prevent large-scale drinking water poisoning, part of the water supply network was blown up, causing water supply interruptions in some parts of the city and crop yields in some agricultural areas to decrease. At the same time, a gray magic organization hiding in the sewer was killed by the explosion. How should the Magic Affairs Institute punish or reward them?"
"A magical girl was separated from her boyfriend by a third party during their relationship. In anger, she tried to lead the remaining beast to her boyfriend's house during a battle. However, she did not expect that the boyfriend's house had fallen into disrepair and collapsed that night. The magical girl went to her boyfriend's house and found out about it. She immediately defeated the remaining beast and rescued the scene. However, after being rescued, her boyfriend had a heart attack and died suddenly because he saw the remaining beast's body dissipating. What regulations did the magical girl violate, and how should her behavior be dealt with in the end?"
Yes, if there is a subject in the qualification certification examination that is the most troublesome and the one that people are most reluctant to take, let the candidates vote, and the probability of winning the first place will be this subject.
No matter how well a magical girl memorizes the rules and regulations, or how many relevant cases she collects, the examination authority can always find some strange questions that will surprise the candidates' blind spots. In this battle of wits and courage, like a brain teaser, the exam questions for this subject are getting stranger and stranger every year.
What's even more ironic is that if a candidate passes the white card test and reaches the character card stage, the "Rune Science" in the test subjects will become the "Magic Rituals Comprehensive" subject, "Arithmetic" will become "Basic Science", and "Analysis of Remaining Beasts" will become "Magic Characteristics"...
Only the subject of "National Jurisprudence and Work Code of Conduct" is still there.
Yes, the card test still includes this, and the content is even more tricky and weird. So much so that the official national reference book for this subject, titled "Legal Principles and Norms, From Beginners to Masters", is also called "Perverse Principles and Weird Things, From Beginners to Masters" by many tortured candidates.
Of course, these are not things that Delphinium needs to worry about.
For example, in the "Character Literature" exam that she is currently taking, her expression has not changed at all from the time she entered the exam room to the time she completed the answer sheet. It can be said that she finished it without any ripples.
She was able to pass the written test so smoothly not only because she had passed the character test many years ago, and even though she had forgotten a lot since then, she had gradually picked it up in the tutoring and training for juniors in the past year. It was also because she was here and had not planned to get a very impressive score.
"Ryudan" is just an ordinary rookie magical girl. The age on her ID card determines that she should not have too mature thoughts and rich knowledge accumulation. It is already amazing that magical girls of the same age can pass the test. So Kusanagi also intends to carry out this fake identity to the end. She only carefully wrote 70% of the test questions, and left the rest blank, just as "I don't know how to write".
However, there was a strange episode during this period. The examination room she was in was the auditorium of the Silver Corridor. There were eight invigilators in the entire auditorium, four of whom were green school magic girls. These green school magic girls passed by her countless times, saw that there were blank questions on her paper, and even secretly gestured to her, trying to tell her the answers. Delphinium shook her head at each of them, and almost said that she didn't want to get a high score, and finally made them quiet down.
However, this strange phenomenon attracted the attention of the other four magical girls who were invigilating the exam. They thought that there was a magical girl suspected of cheating in the area where Delphinium was located, so they extended their stay in the area and increased the frequency of patrolling here.
Just the paper of Delphinium, which had been intentionally left nearly one-third blank, was looked over by several invigilators. They expressed their disapproval of the magical girl who did not write down the answers she did not know, left large areas of blank space on the paper, and did not even bother to guess the steps. More than one invigilator asked Delphinium to fill in the blanks, and one invigilator even came back to check again, which was really annoying.
Fortunately, the exam time passed quickly, the content of "Character Literature" itself was not difficult, and there was not much cheating, so the first written test was quickly completed smoothly.
The four subjects will be taken over two days, each taking half a day, so after this exam, the candidates will have a full lunch break.
After finishing the "Character Literature" exam, Kuizi came out of the exam room with drooping eyelids. He immediately took out his cell phone and edited a message to ask several juniors: [How did you do in the exam? ]
