Katherine took Landen to register in the office of the assistant principal and Dean. Without saying anything, he took him directly to the door of the classroom where the qualification examination was held.
On a bright morning, the sun shines through the crystal windows and onto the wooden floor of the classroom.
The exam room is very small, with only three rows of tables and chairs in front of the blackboard. The huge first row of tables and chairs is for examiners, the second and third rows facing the classroom are for candidates.
Now there is only one Junior Mage sitting on the examiner's chair. This Mage is quite young. His hair and beard are already gray. He is holding a book in his hand and is reading intently.
Katherine took Landen into the classroom, and Landen discovered that the examiner was reading a novel. The name of the novel was <The Knight of Hamilton of the Royal Capital>.
"John Mage, have you found a new novel?"
"Yes." Mage glanced at Katherine. They were obviously very familiar with each other.
"This is the latest novel by Imperial Capital's cutting-edge novelist Miss Louisa. It tells the story of a palace Knight and a group of female Archmage.
"Sounds good, but I don't know what kind of Knight can win the favor of a group of female Archmage"
"It's probably the god's Bloodline" Landen said in his heart.
"By the way, this is Landen Viscount, come here to complete the qualification exam."
"Ah, Viscount, hello. What qualifications do you want to pass?"
"Start from scratch. I was just Knight Apprentice before. All qualification exams are required."
"You didn't bring your Territory Scholar?"
"There is no dedicated scholar in my territory yet, so I will take the exam myself."
Mage found a pile of paper from the table. It looked like there were 5 or 6 pieces of paper. "Then let's start with the arithmetic test. You can write as much as you can. We will evaluate the level based on the overall score."
Landen got the paper. The first page was Addition and Subtraction within 20, which was very easy. The second page was multiplication and division within 5. Landen wrote out the answers while looking at it.
The third page started to be a bit difficult, it was a mixture of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within 20. On the fifth page, there was a system of equations. Landen naturally answered such a simple question very quickly. When the old Mage saw that Landen had finished the answer, he handed the paper to the back. On the seventh page, there was actually a trigonometric function.
Landen Although I took the postgraduate entrance examination for the engineering major I studied in my previous life, I have long forgotten about trigonometric functions, so I can only do the questions bit by bit based on my impressions.
The eighth sheet has some calculus questions, which Landen actually remembers a little bit, and the ninth sheet is about probability.
At this moment, Landen had serious doubts about whether the roughnecks like the border nobles could understand the content on the paper. Thinking back to Gallop Territory, not to mention Hark, even Albert could only do the sixth picture at most.
When it came to the 10th piece of paper, Landen discovered that the probability questions on this paper required using points to calculate expectations. This reminded Landen of the days when he had been reviewing for the postgraduate entrance examination.
The question on the eleventh page is to find the movement speed of a certain Magic Matrix magic element on the boundary of a complex surface. Based on the remaining knowledge of advanced mathematics, Landen guesses that this question requires first finding the equation of the surface and finding the tangent and normal at a special point.
I didn't know how to solve this kind of problem even after reviewing it for several months. Now I have been neglecting it for several years, let alone thinking about it.
"I really can't do it," Landen gave up, "Which noble can do it?"
"There are a large number of spellcasting effects in magic that require probability calculations. When designing a large Magic Matrix, it is indeed necessary to calculate the Magic Power dissipation problem at the boundary. These precise tasks are not as random as the Knight slashing.
Generally speaking, if you want to be recognized by the college as Grand Archmage, you must be able to do these things."
"Big...Archmage?" Aren't I taking the qualification exam for Knight?
"Yes, there is a set of papers from the most basic Knight qualification to the Grand Archmage qualification examination. If you can achieve it, you will get the corresponding recognized qualification. Your mathematics foundation is really good. You can basically study the Great Mage course."
So I actually took four exams? Landen probably understands, but I don't know why Blue Dragon School's qualifying exam is so casual.
"But isn't the qualification to become Archmage felt like Magic Web? Why are there such high math requirements?"
"Indeed, feeling is the most basic requirement, and being able to use Magic Power in Magic Web to accurately express magic is the mark of Archmage.
Although there are actually a few geniuses who can depict magic by feeling, but more magic Mage needs to rely on precise calculations, and their calculation ability determines how far they can go on the road of magic."
"So, Wendy they don't want to go to Magic School because they have a headache with the math teacher?" Landen was listening to Mage, while imagining that his math teacher knew magic. Once a student dared to sleep in class, he would fly Little Fireball over...
In the other world, Landen defended his arithmetic ability that he had been admitted to college, and later passed the grammar and advanced examination official document writing. After all, Landen had also passed the civil service examination, and the style was similar, but the words were changed here.
Imperial History and Imperial Law are mostly multiple-choice and true-false questions, as well as a small number of essay questions.
To be honest, Landen has never seen the textbook. Even if Albert told him the family history intermittently for two months, it would be impossible to cover the entire Blue Dragon School textbook.
However, the liberal arts exam on Alivia is limited by local characteristics. When it comes to the gods, the examiner will never dare to write anything on the test paper that distorts the gods or tamperes with history, so the true or false questions will basically not be wrong.
The answers to the multiple-choice questions can be seen at a glance, because history and laws are made by Legend people. If the answer is wrong, you cannot write down the names of the great people, so all the answers are visible to the naked eye.
The essay questions are a bit difficult. Most of the essay questions discuss the relationship between the empire's departments and Kingdom. Landen is not sure whether such a question will be sent locally or directly to Imperial Capital Ministry of Personnel. Ministry of Personnel can only write ambiguous answers.
For example, the last question is to discuss the proportion of territorial tax revenue turned over to the Kingdom and retained by oneself.
This question is extremely sensitive. Supporting a high proportion of tax payment may not necessarily be in line with the preferences of the country's King, because supporting self-payment means supporting a high proportion of the Kingdom taxes to the empire's tax department. However, emphasizing a large proportion of self-retention will definitely make King himself dissatisfied. No matter how you answer this kind of paper, you will dig a hole for yourself.
Therefore, Landen can only emphasize the importance of taxation, emphasizing that the nobles should pay the taxes required by the Kingdom in full, and assume more obligations during the Kingdom crisis. In the end, it must also be emphasized that Dragon Kingdom has shouldered the heavy responsibility of fighting against Beastmen. Kingdom and the border nobles should also keep sufficient reserves to prevent unexpected wars.
Landen's caution is indeed correct, because everyone's imperial law and imperial history answer sheets will be backed up in Dragon Tooth City and Imperial Capital, and True God knowledge answer sheets will be in Dragon Tooth City and Holy See Holy City Double backup, the answers to the questions I wrote today may one day become my own black material.
When Landen finished answering all the written tests, it was already noon. The remaining exams of fighting skills and riding skills were practical tests. In the afternoon, they will be tested in the academy's fighting hall and racecourse.
Since Landen is not a student of the school, the school does not care about his food, so Landen can only go to the market outside the school to take care of it on his own.
Several streets outside Blue Dragon School are filled with various restaurants, hotels, pubs, magic potion and equipment shops, as well as various small shrines, Temple, etc. These shops are 20 meters high and 3 floors above 6 meters each, specifically targeting the rich or expensive students in Blue Dragon School.
Landen chose a barbecue restaurant. As the Chinese New Year was approaching, there were not many people in the restaurant, and the few students eating did not notice Landen. When Landen sat down, he heard the students whispering.
"I heard that a nobleman came to the door with private soldiers?"
"You won't cause trouble for civilian professionals like you did five years ago, right?"
"I heard that it was solved by teacher Gleia."
"With Teacher Gleia in the past two years, neither Dragonborn nor the nobles dare to cause trouble."
"Yeah, what a pity that girl named Wendy was. If she were still in school today, at least she would be Senior Mage."
"No, I heard that it was the young lady Flying Dragon Family back then. She didn't want Wendy to be better than her. She first found her boyfriend to harass her, and then sued the family that Wendy seduced her fiancé."
"Is this so mean?"
"I heard about it too. I only know that the lady from the Flying Dragon Family later returned to Wyvern Nest, and then seemed to go to a certain Magic Tower in Imperial Capital."
