Throne Steps

Rhaetian Federation, Pesa Island, somewhere inside the Pesa Academy.

A blond girl was standing in front of the bookcase, wearing an elegant white dress.She has a slender figure, fair skin, oval face and peach blossom eyes, pupils with rose-colored inner rings on a blue background, and a habitual smile on the corners of her mouth.Her voice is as melodious as a silver bell, and her beauty is unforgettable.

"I've already read the list of admissions." The girl's slender fingers removed a book, and turned around, "Your recommended students have passed two... Congratulations, Saenz."

"This is the result of their own hard work." Saenz sat at the desk and looked at the girl, the smile never reaching his eyes, "I just helped insignificantly, and it should be done."

"Helping people is indeed something that should be done." The girl smiled, "But it is rare that you are willing to do such a thing once, and you have applied for three places at once... It seems that you are getting more and more kind, Saenz !"

"It's not as good as Lailier, your good reputation spreads far and wide." Saenz also smiled, as if he was really humble, "I will try to learn from you, and I will not waste these three opportunities to help candidates every year."

"I'm just easy to soften my heart, but I don't necessarily use it in the most suitable place." The girl named Lailier walked over with a book, "Look, I didn't win any of the three this year."

Saenz replied: "What does it matter, Lailier? Saenlich's blessings are not asking for anything in return."

"You are right, it is our duty to spread the gospel, and Saenlich does not ask for anything in return." Lailier nodded with a smile, as if agreeing, she raised the book in her hand, "I borrowed this book La!"

The purpose of Lairelle's coming here was not to borrow books, and Saenz didn't care what she took, just nodded with a smile.

"Then I won't bother you, goodbye." The girl lifted her skirt and leaned slightly towards the door.

Saenz stood up and leaned back to salute: "Goodbye."

"However... it's rare that you recommended three at a time, but one of them didn't show up." Lailier held the book in one hand and closed the doorknob with the other, smiling slightly, "If you pass all three, I'll be jealous Nah!"

Saenz looked at her with a half smile on his face.Lailier didn't seem to need an answer either, she turned out the door as soon as she finished speaking, and closed the door.

The blond boy stood looking in the direction of the door for a while, wondering what he was thinking.Then he turned to the inside of the desk, opened the upper drawer on the right side, and took out the topmost thing.

They were two ID-like cards with signatures on them, the same two that Wiggins encountered when he went to visit.When applying for the exam, these two documents can be exchanged for the admission ticket for free, and the replaced ones are generally returned to the provider.

Each of Saenz's siblings has three referral places for free exams each year.Unlike others, Saenz has never bothered to pay attention to such things.However, it was rare that his application for this year was full, and the nameplate he took back did not include the name of the person he most wanted to see.

The one I was most interested in didn't show up, and the failure of the other two screeners didn't make much sense.

"Rigsella..." His eyes became gloomy.

Did Li Chen actually fail the exam?

He passed the exam, and he really passed the exam.He just had brain twitches when he signed up, or "conspiracy theories" broke out habitually, and he paid the money by accident.

Wiggins seems to be the only one who didn't pass the exam.Although he was just here to experience it, Wiggins couldn't be more happy when his two elder brothers, two commoners and even his own boy passed the exam.

"Didn't it be said that the exam was difficult! Why did everyone pass the exam!" ——Li Chen once heard Wiggins complaining so much.

But the more Wiggins said this, the more he highlighted the fact that he himself didn't pass the exam?

The magic exam is divided into three parts.The first part is to judge the talent of the candidate through a magic crystal that looks a little like a treasure. If the talent does not meet the standard, there will be no next round. It is said that some candidates will be persuaded to apply for the alchemy department.

Wiggins took it easy in the first part, but in the second part of the written test, he didn't know what to do.Wiggins doesn't even know how to learn about magic principles, magic cognition, magic prospects and high-end magic additions, let alone the third part that requires him to release a few simple magic spells!

Wiggins, who didn't pass the exam, wanted to make up lessons before school started, so as not to be ashamed of asking questions after school started.Li Chen was starting to get busy and couldn't help, so Wiggins rushed to the house of Mr. Meloyer.However, it is said that Pesa will teach from scratch, and Wiggins worked hard for a while and then fell back to the state of "let it go".

What is Li Chen busy with?

To put it bluntly, it is to seek life.Pesa's courses are arranged for 7 academic years, and the expenses that can be determined are at least annual tuition and accommodation fees-the accumulation of these figures is as astronomical.Li Chen inquired around and learned that Pesa has an army funding project, and Retia will be responsible for the tuition and accommodation fees of the students, but the students must serve the army for five years free of charge after graduation.

"Seven years of school and five years of the army, so I can't be free for 12 years..." Feelings are all emotions, Li Chen is still very optimistic about this opportunity to directly contact the army.He was manipulated by Cinric in his previous life, and imprisoned by a necromancer in this life. His tolerance for "unfreedom" has long been different from ordinary people, not to mention that he has no choice: "Sign it!"

Solved the most troublesome problem, and then solved the second headache problem - living expenses.

Although the savings plus the repatriation fee plus the later rewards from the young masters amounted to about [-] gold coins, it would not be a problem to live for a period of time, but it is a big taboo to just go out and not get in, and you must not just sit and wait for death!

Pesa is not a small place like Bolton, where people don't take a child to help in the store because of some sympathy.Li Chen revealed his identity as an orphan, took out Pesa's admission notice, and finally identified most of the medicines in the store—and thus got the identity of a part-time clerk who helped deliver medicines.

Li Chen did the math, this is probably barely enough for his daily meals, and he hopes that he can get a more important position as time goes by!

The new semester is coming soon, Lichen, Wiggins and two candidates who are staying at Meloyer's house get together to sign up.Because Wiggins often interacted with these two a while ago, Li Chen also became familiar with them.

Li Chen also learned from the mouths of these two that the color of sea blue would usually support the recommended students of Saenz.Although the color of sea blue is generous on the bright side and does not ask for anything in return, but if you think about it with your toes, you can tell that after graduation, there is a high probability that you will be a person of sea blue color!

Compared with kidnapping political beliefs, the five-year military life is only a slight loss of personal freedom, and the political wind direction is not obvious to non-high-level people.Li Chen has only met Saenz as a competitor so far, and although he seems to be intellectually good, it is inevitable that he has some preconceived notions—it is better to make a decision after observing.

Of the two borrowed, one was admitted to the magic department, and the other was the same as Li Chen, but their written test scores were at a level that needs to be looked up temporarily.The former is called Noah, a gentle and steady 14-year-old kid—anyway, Li Chen sees everyone under the age of 20 as a child—and his magic skills tend to be water-based; the latter is called Mills, 13 years old, but his personality is a bit troublesome , seems to be a bit like a hedgehog because of his childhood experience, and he can't pull back nine cows when he is stubborn.

Taking children or something... Li Chen looked at Mills who was dazed by the campus map but was determined not to ask anyone, his eyes suddenly dropped to the ground.

——Don’t tell me to crush me to death.

Each department reported separately, and the location of the dormitory was different. Wiggins' two elder brothers, Wiggins and Noah, Li Chen and Mills, were divided into three groups for action.In fact, Li Chen didn't have much communication with this Mills, and his grades are indeed far behind this top student, so being in a group is equivalent to acting independently.

Children, it is normal to classify classes by grades. Mills even looks down on Wiggins-to be honest, Wiggins has a high talent and a good family background. It is inexplicable that Mills looks down on him-and Wiggins With a rough nerve, he even complained about Mills' unfriendliness from time to time, which shows how unsociable Mills is.

Now that the registration is finished, the two are going to find the location of the dormitory building.Li Chen ignored Mills who was still wandering around, and he asked the way when Mills was wandering around.They are still together now, but because Mills went wrong and returned the same way.

"I was taught a lesson on the day I signed up." Li Chen left silently with his luggage, and only he could hear the joke, "It's really interesting...Xiao Lu Chi."

He wouldn't be so kind as to call that hedgehog who is about to go into an explosive state, whoever wants to get into trouble, go!

Facts have proved that Mills is really a stunned young man, he didn't go with Li Chen.It wasn't until Li Chen packed up and went out to find the cafeteria with his new dormmates—it was so great to be in the same dormitory with Mills—that he saw Mills coming here with others .

The one with the half body in the lead looks like a senior in terms of age, and Mills' expression is still stiff, showing no signs of happiness or anger, but that person keeps smiling.His attire is light and light, with blue as the main color.Although the color of the clothes does not necessarily represent the identity of the person, Li Chen still spotted the logo on the other party's collar flower with sharp eyes-it really is the color of sea blue Melloye.

... No wonder Mills accepted his help.Although I don’t necessarily know each other, I have preconceived impressions about the color of sea blue!However, that person's family logo is not pure blue, and it is still somewhat different from Yuri's. I don't know if it's because of seniority or something else.

Mills also saw Li Chen, but before he pretended not to look away and turned his head away, Li Chen nodded and smiled at him.Mills didn't escape, so he nodded slightly.With this movement, he even brought the person beside him to look over, and also nodded with Li Chen.

Is he a person who likes to pick up lost animals... Li Chen looked away from them, and negative speculations swirled in his mind again - he didn't know whether it was "good nature" or "evil taste".

"Ruisen, hurry up!" A roommate who was walking in front suddenly turned back, and the others followed suit, "Slow, what are you looking at?"

Li Chen was interrupted by the "conspiracy theory", smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing." He made two steps in three steps, and once again integrated into the small group: "Let's go."
