EP.17 Placement Test (1)
After completing the entrance ceremony, students are assigned a dormitory under the guidance of the faculty and staff.
Seohak-Gwan, Donghak-Gwan, and Jungang-Hak-Gwan.
Among the three dormitories, the Central Academic Building, newly established this year, was given priority allocation based on the scores recorded in the entrance exam.
The process is completely based on grades.
There is no room for high or low status to interfere.
Aplia is a place of learning approved by the king. In Aplia, no matter who it is or whose child it is, it is classified as a student.
and.
Even if she is a princess, the general principle remains the same.
“Hmm…”
The fourth princess, Ayla, who entered Aplia in second place and proved her skills, was secretly impressed when she saw the room she was assigned.
‘I didn’t expect much, but this…’
She didn’t have high expectations for the facilities. Rather, she entered the dormitory with her own unique idea of experiencing the life of the common people.
“…Isn’t it too good to be true?”
Ayla was feeling somewhat disappointed in the surprisingly well-equipped lodging.
*
“Sylphy.”
-Did you call me? master.
“Would you mind dusting my room? “Let’s give it some ventilation.”
-Well, this isn’t a lab, is it, master? There isn’t much dust, and the air seems clean.
“still.”
-Yes, then…
Lesser wind spirit, Sylphy.
A spirit resembling a dandelion seed emits light. Soon the curtains in the room shake and the blanket flutters.
“Thank you, Sylphy. “Go in and rest.”
-Yes, master.
After canceling the summons, Resty sat down on the bed. I had heard rumors about the Central Academic Building, but coming here gave me a new feeling.
‘It’s spacious.’
It was larger than the dormitory in the laboratory where Resty originally stayed. It doesn’t seem like the smell of the medicine is seeping in. When you open the window, fresh air comes in right away.
“We don’t have to ventilate from now on.”
I called Sylphy out of habit, but it didn’t seem like there was any need to do so anymore. Sitting on the bed, Resty collected her thoughts.
The entrance ceremony is over.
This class starts in three days.
And, it seems like they said they would gather only the top students on the entrance exam and take a separate class placement test.
-Explore the academy for two days.
-Student Resti was a Summoner in the main series, right? The Department of Summoning Magic can be found by exiting the Central Academic Building and turning around the large building you see over there.
-Please stop by later.
The image of the teaching assistant clinging to her and guiding her suddenly comes to mind. The teaching assistant who kept the other teaching assistants in check and was right next to Resty.
“·····.”
The assistant’s gaze was not on Resty, but on the badge on Resty’s chest. That gaze came to mind, and Resty briefly clicked his tongue.
“Upset.”
Resty just hated that kind of thing.
Gray Magic Tower, gray, that damn gray.
She is a girl sitting in the seat of the next Magic Tower Lord, just like that gray wizard. It will definitely be amazing. If it looks good, they might put it in the magic tower…
It is clearly visible in Resty’s eyes that he approaches with such thoughts. Because it wasn’t something that happened once or twice.
‘I’m worse than that person, and I don’t have much influence within the Magic Tower.’
In fact, it is just a superficial position.
If the Gray Wizard returns, this is a location that could be abandoned at any time. Resty sneers helplessly.
“Really, it’s no big deal.”
Those who approach with such expectations are soon disappointed and leave. In the process of leaving, it’s a bonus to spread mean things about Lesti.
Resty, who was used to such things, was not very pleased with the assistants’ reaction. It was obvious that their attitude would change even after just one month.
“Whoa…”
Resty sighed. Because he was caught up in teaching assistants who didn’t care about him, he couldn’t even see the people he wanted to see.
Elder Rossell’s adopted daughter and assistant.
Rania van Trias.
The person Resty wanted to talk to was her, but she disappeared somewhere as soon as the entrance ceremony was over.
‘But it doesn’t mean we can’t meet…’
Mana basics and trading, advanced level.
If you can take Professor Rossell’s class, you will naturally be able to meet him. To do that, I needed to get good grades on the placement test.
“·····.”
Lesti silently began to unpack the luggage he brought from the Magic Tower. Dozens of her order books, in which she sealed the familiars she had bred and contracted, were spread out on the floor.
Placement test.
No matter the class assignment or anything, it is a test first.
A test in which the rankings are ranked and the rankings are published.
‘You have to do well.’
Whatever it was, if it was to be ranked and made public… Resti had no intention of doing anything roughly.
-I hope you have a good trip.
-Always watching.

Although others may not know, Resti did not want to betray the gray elder’s expectations. He wanted to live up to his expectations.
“If you do it, you are the chief. “Definitely first place.”
No matter what anyone says.
No matter who he is compared to, he is the next gray magic tower lord. Reflecting on that fact, Resty began to refine his spell.
Since she passed the entrance exam at the top of her class, she had no intention of giving up her first place position.
2.
“Let’s start the meeting.”
Cesar, assistant professor of elemental magic, announced the start of the meeting. As he worked as an assistant professor for the longest time, most of the meetings were led by Cesar.
“Most teaching assistants will know the outline, but since some of you are here for the first time, I would like to give you a brief explanation.”
First-time visitor.
Even if the name is not said, those gathered here know well who it refers to. Soon, the attention of the teaching assistants is focused on one place.
A corner of the table.
The person sitting in the always vacant ‘Basics and Transactions of Mana’ position.
Rania van Trias.
She never appreciates the assistants’ gazes directed at her. César, who intentionally ignored that gaze, waited leisurely until her assistants’ gazes turned to her again, and then spoke.
“As you know, the entrance exam did not accurately classify students this time. In particular, a situation arose where the top students were too grouped together.”
This was because the students’ level had risen too much compared to last year’s graduates. As a result, it became necessary to classify the top students who were overcrowded once again.
“Therefore, we would like to conduct a class placement test for high-ranking students and further refine the level.”
When Cesar taps the document, a large map appears in the air.
“The placement test will be conducted in Harmain Forest, located near Aplia.”
Harmain Forest.
“As you know, Harmain Forest is always saturated with mana in the air. Because of this, the flow of mana becomes distorted, and it becomes difficult to control the mana you have.”
“So, that’s what we’re trying to test.”
The teaching assistant next to him continues Cesar’s words.
“How well can you control your mana, and can you suppress your talents so they don’t run wild. “That’s what we’re trying to see.”
“Control of mana is the basics, and if a student lacks that basics, no matter how talented he or she is, we have to teach it all over again from the beginning.”
This was not a matter decided by the assistant professors.
This was the general rule for the test set by professors, including Professor Rossell and Dean Aaron, who confirmed the talents of the new students entering this semester.
-A wizard must always manage what he has perfectly. If he can’t rule, he’s just a bomb that might explode at any moment.
If you saw that talent in the entrance exam.
The placement test that follows will test how much you understand your talents and how much you can control them.
And, it was the assistant professors’ job to specify the test. The professors simply provided a broad framework for the exam.
“So, we plan to divide it into four sections and have students with similar fields compete against each other.”
The map is divided into four zones.
“Each compartment has a central ‘magic stone’. How long have you been in contact with that magic stone? “We will grade you based on that time.”
Cesar nods his head slightly.
“It means that I will accept some interference and competition.”
Of course, adds Cesar.
“Students should not be harmed by excessive competition. “Our assistants will be dispatched to each section as supervisors.”
When I move my finger once more, a red dot appears in the four compartments. This indicated the location where the teaching assistants would be dispatched.
However, there is one empty space.
Of the four divisions, the northern one. There were no red dots in that compartment. It is a blatantly empty section, as if no one wants to go there.
“We have already chosen the subdivision to supervise, but there is one person here who was not selected.”
Cesar narrows his eyes and looks at the woman sitting across from him.
“Assistant Professor Rania?”
“yes.”
“Well, I understand that you came in as a teaching assistant late, and you must have been busy recently with the adoption ceremony and all that, right?”
A faint smile appears on his lips.
“Since you have already joined as an assistant teacher, I think it would be a good idea for you to choose the section you will be in charge of.”
“then···.”
“Ah, but there’s only one seat left.”
Cesar points to the northern compartment.
“I think it would be useful to supervise this section.”
North section.
There is a reason why all teaching assistants avoid that position. This is because of the students assigned there.
The greatest disciple of the White Magic Tower Master, Archduke Lark of the North.
Belnoa, the Nightmare of Dusk, the master disciple of the Black Magic Tower.
That place is a stage prepared just for the two magic tower owners at their request. It is not easy for even instructors to interfere with the fight that will unfold there.
A northern warrior who tore apart trolls.
An assassin who dyed the slums blood-red.
If they clash, one of them will definitely get seriously injured, and if that happens, the instructor supervising that section will be responsible.
‘I don’t want to get caught up in the competition between magic towers and take on unnecessary responsibility.’
Cesar laughed inwardly and glanced at the gray-haired woman sitting across from him. To be honest, Cesar didn’t really like her.
That seat originally belonged to Cesar.
At least, Cesar thinks so.
He continued to apply for Professor Rossell’s assistantship the year before and the year before. But it was rejected time and time again. He was ignored.
‘But, a bitch who doesn’t know where she came from is sitting there? ‘And by becoming an adoptive daughter?’
It doesn’t show on the outside.
However, most of the teaching assistants also did not like this woman named Rania.
‘You look good, parachute bitch.’
Everyone would be laughing like that. Thinking that this was definitely the case, Cesar opened his mouth with a kind smile.
“Ah, but there are only two students assigned there. “I’m sure you’ll be okay, right?”
To that question.
“Yeah, whatever.”
Rania just nodded.
3.
‘Why are you cutting that bastard to pieces?’
That was the first thing that came to my mind as soon as the meeting ended. I don’t know what’s so funny, but it felt a bit strange that he smiled every time he saw me.
‘Do I look that funny?’
I don’t think that happened.
“By the way, it’s done in a strange way.”
I know about the Harmain Forest. Because I’ve heard it before. I clearly remember that it was a forest gifted to the kingdom by an ancient dragon wizard.
‘But why do it here?’
I tilted my head as I looked at the map I received.
As I understand it, the beauty of the Harmain Forest lies in its heart. The ‘Fountain of Mana’ gifted by an ancient dragon wizard. That must be the purpose of visiting Harmain Forest…
Is there really a need to conduct the test outside the city?
I think we can just throw everything in the center, pick the kids who walk out with all limbs intact, and put them in the upper class.
“···Well, everyone has their own thoughts.”
