Chapter 117 Practice and Mining
"Very good, everyone is here, no one is late." Seeing that the six freshmen had arrived, the strong man finally spoke again.
At this point, he chuckled and said, "Let's roll your name first, so I can recognize someone."
"Luke Kaplan, Royas, Candice, Goddjelica."
Instructor Shahu called the names one by one.
Among them, Luke and Kaplan are Jelika's nominal "brothers".
When Gothe boarded the airship, he glanced at them from a distance and remembered their faces, but didn't know their names.
Now I finally know it.
The origins of Royas and Candice are unknown to Gothe.
When she clicked on the name "Gaode", Jelica turned her head and took a deep look at Gaode.
Gaode is a little guilty.
Who doesn’t wear a vest when going out? He convinced himself.
After taking the roll of names, Instructor Shahu continued to speak on his own:
"You should also know that the first thing that all freshmen do when they come to Siris Magic Academy is to complete the admission task before they can officially become students of the academy."
"This is a mandatory task, you cannot refuse, and you have no choice."
"The admission tasks for all freshmen are the same."
"Use the tools provided by the academy, go down to the mine at the bottom of the coolie cliff, dig out 3,000 kilograms of hydrogold ore and hand it over to the Alchemy Department, the task will be considered completed." The targets used by masters to test the effects of spells have always consumed a large amount of water gold ore. Hundreds of tons of water gold ore are required every year. "
"Just digging water gold ore is a hard job, but the spell-testing puppet is a necessary consumable."
"So the college has set the mining of water gold ore as an admission task for new students, which can not only temper the new students, but also solve the college's need for water gold ore."
"I know that you are able to join the academy at this point in time. You did not come through the normal assessment and admissions channels. You used the back door, and your status and background are very extraordinary."
Shahu's words were so direct that several people present felt uncomfortable. This is too direct, instructor!
"But in Siris Magic Academy, at least in this admission task, your status and background are useless." Instructor Shahu said with a grin.
It was also one of his pleasures to see the group of "pampered" gentlemen and young ladies in front of him complaining endlessly.
"Serys Magic Academy is the Holy Land of Cultivation pursued by all young mages in the entire principality of Xi'en."
"The Holy Land of Cultivation has four words, including the word Holy Land and the word Cultivation."
"If you don't endure hardship, how can it be considered practice?"
"The entrance task is both a task and the first lesson for you. This is what I teach you!" Only after you have experienced sweating and bleeding for something can you realize that nothing in this world is taken for granted.”
Shahu’s voice became louder and louder, and he was spitting: “Even everything you have now was obtained by the sweat and blood of your ancestors. What you have to do is to keep it and make it bright, instead of lying on it and sucking blood!”
Gothe listened to it with interest, and at the same time, he also felt that there was more or less something in the reason that Siris Magic Academy had the name it has today.
In Gothe's view, none of these words were about him, so he could naturally evaluate them from the perspective of a bystander.
Because everything he has now is achieved through his own efforts!
Instructor Shahu continues.
“The task content is very simple, but the rules must be followed.”
"First of all, you must not fake the power of others. Whether it is mining or transporting ore, you must do it yourself."
"If you are found to have asked others to help during this process, all the ore dug that day will be invalid."
"Secondly, you must not fake the power of external objects. Spell rolls Axes and alchemical creations cannot be used. All you can use are your own hands, and of course the spells you have mastered. "
"Three times, you are not allowed to rob the fruits of other people's labor. Once discovered, not only will all the water gold ore obtained on that day be invalidated, but 500 kilograms of water gold ore will also be deducted as punishment. "
“Finally,” Shahu glanced at the slim but slightly “thin” figures of the only two girls among the six, revealing a gloating smile, “Men and women are equal, and the water, gold ore required to complete the task is The total weight is 3,000 kilograms. "
"Why is there no preferential treatment?"
Instructor Shahu smiled, his face covered with stubble and scars looking a little distorted. "Because the enemy will not treat you preferentially just because you are a lady!"
"In addition, there is no time limit for the admission task. When you collect 3,000 kilograms of hydrogold ore, you will complete the task and officially enroll."
"An additional reminder, although you freshmen have mage level points to settle in the first year, you will never be able to collect 10 credits."
"So if you delay too long on the admission task, it will affect your subsequent courses."
"It is impossible to obtain the college's course credits without spending a certain amount of time and effort."
Hearing the harsh conditions, and witnessing the rugged cliff road with my own eyes, and the "mining" trip that has not even started yet, but just hearing the name gives me a headache.
The five freshmen on the field, except Gothe, including Jelika, couldn't help but frown, somewhat unable to accept it.
The acceptance of Gaode is pretty good.
Isn't this equivalent to the "entrance military training" in the previous life?
Although it is definitely much harder than "military training".
But the essence is to temper their temperament and exercise their perseverance and hard-working spirit.
The world is different, but the routine is the same.
"Instructor Shahu!" At this moment, Candice, another girl among the six freshmen except Jelika, suddenly raised her hand.
"What's the matter?"
"Do we have to dig out 3,000 kilograms of hydrogold ore? Is there no other room for maneuver?"
Candice frowned. She was the one among the six who was least able to accept this enrollment task.
"It's not impossible." Instructor Shahu said calmly.
"What is it?!" Candice was immediately overjoyed.
Perhaps it’s not that she didn’t realize that this maneuver was certainly not simple, but that for her, who had been pampered since she was a child, everything else was easier than mining.
“Did you see another tool besides the mining pickaxe in your backpack?” Instructor Shahu asked.
