Chapter 782: Chapter 440: The Fortune-bringing Schoolboy Who Spends Half a Day at School (5K)_3

The intangible fantasy realm gently descended.

In the square, a crowd of newcomers—some tense, some panting, some slumped—gradually closed their eyes. They fell into a deep sleep, their minds entering the boundless world of illusion.

At the same time, ten examiners began to observe and score.

Connected through Candela’s technological devices, Miss Luo and others could view the scenes within the fantasy realm from a macro perspective. Meanwhile, Xiao Huan controlled the devices, broadcasting some less important but sufficiently thrilling scenes for the guests from the seven countries, convincing them that the favor of attending was worth the price.

Xiao Huan’s main focus was on filtering talents, presenting these scenes to Fang You.

She and Fang You were the hidden examiners and also had the right to score.

It was quite normal for the ten-member examiner panel to have twelve examiners.

"This one’s not bad."

"This one’s decent."

"This one’s barely passable."

"This one..."

Fang You’s gaze settled on a skinny and frail girl.

He had actually noticed this newcomer earlier, because this little girl named ’Qian Xiaocao’ was not an Awakener.

Qian Xiaocao was about 15 or 16 years old. That age was not young; if her talent were high enough, she could have Awakened naturally early on without relying on potions or other external substances.

Qian Xiaocao had not Awakened and possessed no innate talent, yet during the initial test, she showed a rather high talent.

This was quite strange.

At this moment, the spectacle of Qian Xiaocao in the fantasy was even more astonishing.

She was being chased by several Knocking Children, biting her lip as she ran desperately. Suddenly, she tumbled forward, tripped over a piece of withered Wood. Qian Xiaocao, with tearful eyes from the pain, saw the ferocious Knocking Children closing in and was too frightened to stand up. She could only shrink and continuously scoot backward.

While scooting, her palm, scratched by the withered wood, came into contact with a cold object.

It was a sword.

An ordinary Longsword, barely qualifying as a white-tier weapon.

Qian Xiaocao was stunned.

As if blessed with divine inspiration, she picked up the Longsword. In that instant, she seemed to transform, becoming like an unsheathed sharp blade, while the crooked weeds around her straightened up as if they could cleave mountains and cut through all clutter.

The next moment,

Swish—

The glow of the sword faded slowly, and the Knocking Children that had closed in were cut in two by a single stroke, dissolving into trailing wisps of smoke. Only the girl holding the sword remained standing atop the withered woodpile, motionless as a wooden chicken.

Outside the arena, Instructor Fang pondered thoughtfully, "So that’s how it is."

...

The fantasy trial lasted for over half an hour before ending.

During this trial, the examiners gave multiple scores, which were added to the scores from the first stage. Newcomers who exceeded the passing score were able to truly enter the Xinhuo Academy.

And the number of these newcomers was...

223!

Out of the three thousand potential candidates who were not weak in the secondary examination, only a little over two hundred passed—such is the assessment of Xinhuo Academy!

However, these were just the first batch of newcomers.

Soon after, more newcomers preparing for the examination were delivered by White Shark-class airships in the second and third batches.

Their experience was basically identical to the first batch—pass, pass, pass, pass, pass, pass.

After consuming most of the day, Xinhuo Academy’s enrollment retest officially came to a close.

The visiting delegates from the seven mythological countries each returned home, as the Xinhuo Academy had not retained them for a banquet, and they could not bear to impose further.

Newcomers who passed the examination and obtained the ’provisional student’ status participated in the entrance ceremony led by senior students.

People’s joys and sorrows do not communicate.

Under the highly rigorous exam standards of Xinhuo Academy, the newcomers who managed to get in were especially outstanding, and they were overjoyed.

However, their happiness was very brief.

That day, the newcomers received student clothing, student wristbands, and other items, and started their training under the guidance of older students.

They dared not relax!

That’s because senior students had informed them that being admitted did not mean they could now take it easy. During training and missions at the academy, there was still the risk of dismissal, particularly for these newcomers who had yet to remove the ’provisional’ prefix from their status.

They were thrilled by the magic of the academy while feeling a strong sense of urgency.

Besides these newcomers, exchange students from the seven great nations also enrolled at the same time.

However, the exchange students received much better treatment than the newcomers, as they were granted ’official student’ status upon entry and also received generous credits.

"Damn it, those guys get to come in without assessments and enjoy so many benefits!"

"There’s nothing we can do about it; the seven countries have already paid a hefty price on their behalf. It seems this is part of the academy’s cooperation with the countries. Besides, these people are noble princes and princesses who are far above us in status. The fact that we now have the opportunity to catch up with them is already an incredibly rare chance."

"I understand the reason, but it still frustrates me."

Not just ordinary students, but among the newcomers, more than a dozen princes and princesses also felt annoyed seeing their siblings strut around so smugly.

Not to mention, they had to take on missions to earn credits to use the precious training facilities, while these siblings with study-abroad spots started off with a large amount of credits, saving countless hours they would have spent earning those credits.

In the long run, this gap could become vast.

Furthermore,

They were just provisional students at risk of expulsion, while the lucky few with study-abroad spots were official students from the start, their student status as firm as Mount Tai.

"We now interrupt for an announcement..."

That day, hundreds of newcomers enrolled.

On the same day, three exchange students from Shuiman Country, Yun Tu Country, and Flame Thunder Country were expelled for violating the academy’s rules and regulations.

Their time in school was less than half a day.

Instructor Luo, passing by, scoffed with disdain, "Easy come, easy go, they think too highly of themselves."
