Chapter 15 Noon

At noon.

The conference room, with its soft, light-colored walls, was filled with light, reflecting off the green plants placed on the wide windowsill, adding a lot of vitality to the space.

But at this moment.

In this Sage Council conference room, which had gradually become chaotic due to controversial topics and sudden heated discussions, there was a messy atmosphere.

"Compared to the Knight Academy's candidate with zero intelligence and character, our candidate's intelligence and character seem to be too high."

"It's a bit too high, to be honest."

Most of the teachers were quite shocked and questioned Lan Qi's actions after witnessing them, discussing this outlier with a sense of doubt about life.

Some teachers also frowned from time to time, thinking, and then looked up at the playback on the magic screen.

What kind of mental state did this kid have when he took the exam?

They didn't understand.

Now the teachers not only have to complete teaching and research tasks and review this exam, but also need to make an emergency manual assessment of all candidates' scores.

Obviously, Lan Qi has presented them with a problem—

How should they score him?

"You have to say that this guy's legal awareness is really strong. A normal person would not run to look at the code of law in that situation."

"No, the academy is recruiting law-based professionals, but it's the law of magic, not the law of law!"

After a burst of argument, another teacher slammed the table and shouted.

"He may be more suitable to be recommended to Hutton National University of Finance, Economics and Law."

"Boo—!"

Just thinking about what it would be like if a guy like Lan Qi became a judge in the future.

The teachers present felt, "I never want to see him in court in this lifetime."

Various documents, charts, and notes were scattered on the table in the conference room.

The clock on the wall ticked non-stop.

Deputy Dean Ron silently noted the key points of different viewpoints on the paper in front of him, trying to sort out the evaluation of this candidate.

Dean Loren is currently being scolded in the Magic Engineering Academy.

So this meeting can only be presided over by Deputy Dean Ron.

No one in the Sage Academy is willing to go to the Magic Engineering Academy to face that eccentric Professor Polao.

What's more.

Professor Polao would be very angry if he heard that the artificial Shadow World startup terminal had been damaged...

Very angry!

However, there is no way, the third round of exams still requires the use of the terminal.

There must be a brave person to ask Professor Polao to bring the technical staff of the Magic Engineering Academy to help repair it as soon as possible in these two days.

"Alas, if I were Loren, I would probably just grab this kid named Lan Qi and go to the Magic Engineering Academy."

Their dean is still too honest and kind.

After sighing in his heart, Deputy Dean Ron finally tapped the table twice.

Signaling the teachers to return to the topic.

"From the perspective of the core of the Shadow World, he seems to have given another interpretation of 'benevolence and righteousness'."

Ron sighed and said, reluctantly acknowledging the significance represented by Lan Qi's passage,

"Using violence to control violence, using evil to control evil, may also be an effective means of doing good."

Not only combat-oriented challengers conduct research and discussion on the Shadow World.

Many theologians, historians, and philosophers are also frequently active.

The scholars' excavation and analysis of the stories of the Shadow World can also help the challengers to clarify information and expand their ideas for conquering the Shadow World.

Gradually, the Sage Academy has also added many academic studies in its development.

For example, "Introduction to the Shadow World," which must be studied by new students in the Sage Academy, is also the most recognized Shadow World theory in the current world.

It once pointed out that the Shadow World is a miracle-like spell formation created by the gods before they disappeared. It records key historical nodes of many worlds and other worlds, perhaps small, perhaps great, perhaps regrettable, perhaps thought-provoking.

Once a present world has evolved to the point where it has the strength to open up the Shadow World through continuous destruction and rebirth, this present world will be connected to the Shadow World.

Then the creatures of this world can enter the Shadow World and replay the projection of history under the guidance of the Shadow World.

These historical projections of different world lines and timelines can be called excellent learning materials or knowledge treasures for any creature.

The gods want creatures to gain experience and reflection from the historical projections of each other's worlds, learn from each other, and make their present world more stable and beautiful.

Thus, there is this dual world where the present world and the Shadow World are intertwined like entities and shadows.

After Deputy Dean Ron started.

The conference room once again returned to the atmosphere of a normal lecture and review meeting.

"By discussing Lan Qi's solution to the artificial Shadow World simulated by this entrance exam, we may be able to publish a journal."

"I found that he seems to have more talent as a researcher."

At the roundtable of the healing mage group, Teacher Theresa looked at Lan Qi's information and said softly.

When applying for admission, she felt that although this young man did not have the talent to be a magician, his calm and composed, gentle and elegant temperament seemed to be a natural scholar.

Often, this kind of person, if willing to study hard, will be favored by many societies.

After all, helping with reviews and doing research in the logistics department are also important clerical jobs.

"Indeed, he has character, intelligence, and morality."

Many teachers affirmed.

"In short—his ranking is ahead of Miss Hyperion Alanzal, that is, first place, is that okay?"

Deputy Dean Ron tapped the table with his index finger, hesitated slightly, and then said, summarizing.

Since it is impossible to define the score, they can only temporarily decide the ranking.

This will directly affect the group assignments for the day after tomorrow's exam.

Hearing this, many teachers present either nodded or remained silent.

Their attitudes were a little subtle, even with a sense of avoidance.

"Although his clearance time is very fast, he actually hardly touched any of the original scoring points. According to the original algorithm set by the Magic Engineering Academy, his score may not be particularly high..."

From the roundtable of the healing mage group, a hesitant voice came.

The deputy dean looked over, and it was Teacher Theresa, who received Lan Qi when he applied for admission, who spoke.

"Teacher Theresa, that's not fair, is it?"

However.

On the other table, a young teacher, with his right hand on the back of his chair, turned his head to look at Theresa and interrupted her,

"He should be first, it can't be changed."

"..."

Theresa pursed her lips and didn't say anything more.

She actually knew that what she said was unreasonable.

But she really wanted to help Lan Qi.

Because, the first place in this year's Sage Academy exam is definitely not a good position.

In fact, the most troublesome new student for the academy this year is not Frey, nor Lan Qi.

But this Miss Hyperion, the duchess.

Most teachers are unwilling to easily get involved with her.

The Duchess did not hold back in the second round of exams because she was worried that her ranking would be too bad, and the teammates she encountered in the third round would all be arranged actors.

Only as high a ranking as possible can she be assigned to a strong teammate that the internal hostile factions of the academy can't mess with.

As a result, according to the current situation, if Lan Qi just happened to be placed in the first position.

Then it is likely to be what many people want, and it is only natural for Lan Qi to become a tool to drag the duchess down in actual combat.

After all, Lan Qi really can't see any outstanding combat ability in him.

"Ferrat, I'm not in a position to say anything. But no matter what, please don't cross the line, otherwise Loren won't sit idly by."

Ron took a deep look at the young teacher who interrupted Theresa just now, and then said.

"Naturally."

The young teacher named Ferrat stood up and bowed elegantly to Deputy Dean Ron,

"It's just that within the established rules, if nothing unexpected happens, the top-ranked students should be assessed by me. Then I will also try my best to screen out unqualified candidates. This is for their future safety."

Ferrat always had a confident smile on the corner of his mouth.

"..."

Deputy Dean Ron silently turned the page in his hand, wanting to end the topic.

Lan Qi Wilford, as a white magician, his talent is very reluctant.

He is actually not suitable for the Sage Academy.

The real Shadow World above the first level not only requires thinking, but also a lot of actual combat ability.

No matter which group he is assigned to, he is likely to be eliminated in the third round.

So in a sense, destiny is like this, let him and the duchess be in a team.

Then no one can be blamed for dragging anyone down.

Anyway, these two people are separated, and there is almost no hope of admission.
