Chapter 74 The Qualities of Scholars
"Did you pass the mystery department welcome ceremony? No need to climb to the top of the tower?"
After reading the words of light in the air, Anvis was stunned, and immediately took out three metal plates and prepared to use them.
But at this time, he suddenly noticed a problem.
Wait, the ID tag... seems to be in the ring!
He was suddenly startled, and subconsciously connected to the ring space. Then he breathed a sigh of relief. The restrictions in the space had been lifted here.
He quickly took out the identity card and affixed the three metal plates on it one after another.
The three nameplates turned into light and disappeared. At the same time, a reminder of the increased authority of the mysterious Great Library came from the identity plate.
Since the main school Avis chose was occultism, he originally had first-level authority in the Great Library.
After being upgraded to three levels in a row, his authority has now reached level four, which is enough for him to borrow most of the 'collections' in the outer section of the library.
A minute passed quickly, and the words in mid-air suddenly emitted a dazzling light!
All the characters gathered together to form a white ball of light, and then the ball of light instantly enlarged and swallowed Anvis' figure inside——
.
….….
"Welcome to the Pamir Academy of Mysteries and Relics!"
"Congratulations, freshman! You are the first person to pass the college orientation this year."
"Pah, pah, pah, pah..."
Anvis blinked, and when he saw his surroundings clearly again, he had appeared in a giant magic circle on the top of the tower.
Dozens of old students in college uniforms gathered together. When they saw Anvis, many old students began to applaud in unison, convinced of his performance in the welcome ceremony.
"Hello, I am Anvis, a first-level warlock."
Facing the enthusiastic crowd, Anvis put on a familiar smile that he had practiced countless times in etiquette classes and introduced himself concisely.
Since some freshmen are from civilian backgrounds, in order to highlight the atmosphere of equal status in Pamir College, the college stipulates:
When freshmen introduce themselves, they only need to introduce their first name, and no need to introduce their last name.
After getting familiar with it, everyone's eyes focused on the projection again with their own thoughts in mind.
Anvis glanced at the crystal ball with some curiosity.
"That is the magic shadow crystal ball. The current situation of all the new students who climb the tower will be displayed in it."
Noticing the gaze of this unusual new student, the blue-haired girl who had asked the question before smiled kindly at Anvis and took the initiative to explain.
"The two of them entered before you, but they still failed to pass the test in the reality mirror."
At this time, the crystal ball lit up slightly, and a new projection appeared in mid-air.
A boy with light gray short hair was looking around in front of the main entrance of the tower, seeming a little surprised by the scene in front of him.
Sensing something was wrong, the boy also planned to exit the tower, so he encountered the same embarrassment as Anvis.
Anvis stared at the young man, watching him try every means to open the door from the beginning, until he realized that it couldn't be done, and finally resigned to his fate and went deep into the tower.
All this made him feel a little strange. Although he had experienced the welcoming ceremony of the School of Change in his previous life, the two were completely different in nature.
During the annual welcome ceremony of the Change Branch, the seniors and seniors will use change spells to create a huge spell maze and set up many non-lethal magic traps in it.
The mazes and traps are different every year. If the freshmen successfully exit the maze or solve several changing puzzles in the maze, they can obtain different rewards.
Except for Anvis, this year's mysterious freshmen are all relatively average in strength.
After nearly another magic hour, the second freshman passed the test and appeared in the magic circle.
Then came the third and fourth freshmen.
When all the new students arrived, the central circle glowed again, and a girl with a bookish aura appeared in the circle.
She wears a black robe with silver edges, has silver hair and black eyes, and has a slim figure.
There is a pair of delicate silver-rimmed round glasses on the bridge of her small nose, and she is holding a thick ancient book that exudes a mysterious atmosphere in her arms.
"Val, Pekkala, Avis, Lorna——"
The girl opened the thick book she was holding in her hands and read a certain page in it. Then, she looked up at the four people and read out the names of the four freshmen in an ethereal voice as if she had just woken up.
"Introduce yourself, I am your mentor, Nancy Campbell, a seventh-level mystical scholar."
After hearing the girl's words, the four of them saluted quickly.
"I have seen your process of climbing the tower, and it was pretty good, especially Anvis. I started paying attention to your actions from the moment you cracked the Dream Rune and arrived in front of the main entrance of the library."
Nan hoped to glance at Anvis, lowered his head, and looked at the thick book in his hand again.
"From resisting the fear force field and pushing open the door, quickly seeing through the nature of the nightmare and expelling it, being keenly aware of possible hidden books and finding them, and finally escaping from the mirror space, the total time spent is less than one magic hour, which is very good."
After Nancy finished speaking, the other three freshmen looked at Anvis curiously, and the latter smiled and nodded to the three of them.
"In addition, Lorna's performance was also very good. Although she failed to break through the test of the rare objects showroom, she was able to decisively give up pushing the door and choose other paths. This is also very rare."
Lorna is the girl with short light green hair among the four. She has green eyes, is petite and cute, and carries the aura of first-level power. She also seems to have some kind of bloodline.
After receiving Nancy's praise, Rona's cheeks flushed slightly, and her delicate little hands pinched the dark blue hem of her uniform, smiling shyly.
"You must remember that although curiosity is the most precious quality of a mystic scholar.
But without calm judgment, profound knowledge, and sufficient strength to support it, curiosity will only lead to destruction more often."
Nancy nodded to her, and then turned to the crowd and spoke seriously.
The next moment, she lowered her head slightly and glanced at the ancient book in her hand, and turned it to the next page.
"According to the rules of the welcoming ceremony of the Pamir Ruins and Mystic Academy, Anvis's passing evaluation is perfect, Rona's evaluation is excellent, and Waka and Pekara's evaluation is average."
"Then, the next step is to distribute rewards."
As she said, Nancy closed the ancient book in her hand, and with a light wave of her slender white hand, more than a dozen items instantly appeared in the air in front of everyone.
"These are the magic items produced in the ruins."
Still as if she had just woken up, the young girl mentor explained to the four people.
"They have been placed in the display room as a welcome ceremony reward. Each of you can choose one at will."
"The order of selection is determined by the score. Those with higher scores have priority. If the scores are the same, it will be determined by the time it takes to pass the level."
"First place, Avis."
Amid the envious gazes of the other three, Avis slowly stepped forward and carefully examined each item in the air.
An old elf-style magic hat, an ancient stone slab engraved with strange runes, a seemingly ordinary decorative sword, a silver pendant with a strange pentagram shape, a weird stone statuette...
In the magic vision, each of them has magic, but the strength is very weak.
Thanks to Paidaoliang, ramsey666, and Sumoxichao for the rewards.
Thanks to Ruanruan Snail, Yijianxiaotian, and Huailiu for the monthly tickets.
