Elite Mages’ Academy

At 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, everything was silent, and in a small rental room, a boy's unwilling roar was heard.

Xiao Lin ruthlessly threw the mouse in his hand on the table, and the fluorescent light on the computer screen reflected the depression on his face. This was already the fifth game he lost tonight.

Xiao Lin found that his luck was really bad recently. He had just graduated from university and was working in a real estate company, but he was fired in less than two months, and then it was a long search for a job. Today is the eighth day of his interview. From the perspective of the lack of interest in the eyes of the interviewer, it is estimated that there is no hope.

At night, I planned to play a few games to let off steam, but the result is like this. I met all kinds of pig teammates and lost for a night in a row, until he was completely exhausted, turned off the computer dully, fell on the bed and prepared to fall asleep .

bang bang bang!

There was a sudden knock on the door, and a deep and hoarse male voice: "Express delivery!"

Xiao Lin opened his eyes, raised his phone to check the time, and then rolled his eyes. He believed that no logistics company would deliver the courier after 11 o'clock in the middle of the night, and he didn't intend to pay attention to whoever was outside the door.

But the knock on the door persisted, and it was particularly loud and piercing in the quiet night. The mysterious male voice was slow and firm: "Xiao Lin! Take your courier!"

Xiao Lin finally got up abruptly, and the people outside the door knew his name! Could it be that some acquaintance is joking with him?

After hesitating for a moment, he tiptoed to the door, and the knocking stopped abruptly. He tried to look out through the peephole on the door. The light in the corridor was on, which meant that someone had indeed been there, but at the moment it was already gone outside. No one was there.

After waiting for a few minutes, there was still no movement outside the door, and the night became silent again. Xiao Lin quietly opened the door again, and looked around to observe.

There was still no trace of anyone, but there seemed to be something on the door that fell to the ground with a "snap" along the crack. Xiao Lin picked it up and saw that it was really a courier, and it was from SF Express. He muttered , and then return to the room after closing the door.

The strange thing is that only the recipient column has my name and address on the courier, but the sender column is blank. After tearing the courier, only a thin piece of light yellow paper similar to a postcard floated out from the courier. piece.

On the front of the piece of paper were several blood-red words: Dawn College Admission Notice.

On the reverse side of the piece of paper is a paragraph of black characters: Xiao Lin,

Congratulations on being admitted as a preparatory freshman of Shuguang College. This card will be your proof of report, please keep it carefully.

Xiao Lin sneered, and he didn't know who played the prank, not to mention that this was unheard of in Shuguang College, not to mention that he, a person who just graduated from college, could be admitted by the school again.

"Ouch!" Just as Xiao Lin was about to throw away the card, he suddenly exclaimed in pain. He felt as if the fingertips holding the card were pierced by some sharp object, and the blood flowed down the card, but did not drop to the ground. , but disappeared into the card strangely.

In an instant, the card in Xiao Lin's hand became extremely hot, and a mechanical and cold voice came from his mind: The identity verification of the new students was completed, and the transmission began... After that, Xiao Lin passed out.

...

I don't know how long it took, Xiao Lin gradually woke up from the drowsiness, and his blurred vision gradually became clear. He was lying on the cold metal floor. This is a large closed hall surrounded by metal. Surrounding him were a group of men and women in different clothes, but all with dazed faces.

Xiao Lin tried hard to clear his memory, and then guessed with some horror, could it be that he was kidnapped? But that's not right, he is a pauper, why should he be kidnapped!

The room was very noisy, and everyone here seemed very excited, or rather terrified. Xiao Lin planned to ask other people, but judging from everyone's expressions, it was obvious that no one knew what happened.

Squeak!

The only metal door in the hall was suddenly pushed open, and the noisy crowd fell silent. Dozens of pairs of eyes followed the prestige.

A tall and thin man in a white T-shirt with a crew cut, about 30 years old wandered into the metal hall. He glanced at the few people he had just pushed back with disdain, and snorted: "Do you think this is a place where you can come and go whenever you want? Naive!"

This naked sarcasm instantly ignited everyone's anger, and countless angry questioning voices followed.

"who are you?"

"What is this place?"

"Let us out!"

"You are kidnapping!"

...

Facing the approaching crowd, the tall and thin man sneered, and suddenly pulled out a machete more than one meter long from his waist, and roared: "What's the noise! ​​Quiet the fuck!"

The man spat hard on the ground, and said with a displeased face: "Why are there such idiots in every freshman, those bastards in the admissions department know that eating is not doing anything all day long!"

The man looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Xiao Lin, he frowned and asked, "Are you awake?"

Xiao Lin shivered, obviously aware that the man's eyes were not very friendly, but he was also very surprised that he didn't provoke him, so he could only bite the bullet and nod.

The man was not too embarrassed, but he muttered cursingly: "What a bad luck! It took the last student more than three hours to wake up, what a poor initial physique! Those bastards in the admissions department, why did everyone Pull him into the school!"

The man cursed the so-called admissions department again, and the others were silent and did not dare to ask the slightest question, but Xiao Lin knew very well that the man's words must be aimed at himself.

When Xiao Lin woke up, he didn't find any other dizzy people. Obviously, he was a person with extremely poor physique in the man's mouth. This made him quite depressed, because he was not in good physical condition because he didn't usually exercise.

"Since someone woke up too late and our class time has been wasted too much, I'll make a long story short! This is Class 7, freshman year, Shuguang College. I'm Qin Chuan, your counselor. I know you have a lot of questions. Tear open the admission notice that you carry with you, and you will know it naturally, and now I will give you 5 minutes to digest it."

Like everyone else, Xiao Lin touched his pocket, and he found the damn admission notice. After tearing it open like a vent, the notice immediately ignited a flame and turned into ashes in the air, and then a stream of information flooded in. into Xiao Lin's mind.

This is Dawn Academy, and they are all selected preparators, who need to go through a lot of training to continuously improve their strength, hone themselves, and finally obtain the qualification to enter the new world.

Here, they can gain power, money and rights unimaginable in ordinary society!

The message is very short, just to let everyone know why they came here and what they need to do, but everyone still has too many questions, but they dare not ask them out.

"Next, let's do the physical examination." Qin Chuan clapped his hands, the metal floor in front of the hall split automatically, and two black door frames similar to security doors rose from the inside: "Stand inside the door frame, wait for the system to scan, wait You can only come out after the red light is over. Take the initiative to line up and don’t be confused!”

Qin Chuan's previous stab really brought a lot of shock. No one dared to jump in line. Everyone stood in the door frame in an orderly manner, and then a red light swept across the body. The light lasted for a few seconds and then ended.

In front of Qin Chuan, a virtual screen rose up. Xiao Lin squinted his eyes, vaguely observing rows of data continuously flashing on the screen.

As more and more people finished the physical examination, Xiao Lin noticed that the disappointment on Qin Chuan's face became more and more intense, and soon it was Xiao Lin's turn. As the last sober person in this hall, Qin Chuan rarely I looked at him a few more times, of course with sarcasm.

Xiao Lin stood silently inside the door frame, the red light shot out from the edge, and it was painless and painless when it shone on his body, but soon he noticed something was wrong, Qin Chuan beside him also let out a soft "Huh", his listless eyes suddenly widened , fixed on Xiao Lin.

The other people who had finished the physical examination gathered together in twos and threes, whispering to each other, only a very few people noticed the situation on Xiao Lin's side, and couldn't help showing strange eyes.

Qin Chuan's fiery eyes made Xiao Lin feel like a light was on his back. Sweat dripped from his forehead, and he could only silently pray in his heart that the red light scan would end soon.

The scanning time of other people's physical examination is no more than six or seven seconds at most, but Xiao Lin has almost 20 seconds, and the red light still has no sign of disappearing. According to what Qin Chuan said earlier, as long as the red light does not disappear, he will be He was not allowed to step out of the door frame, so Xiao Lin didn't dare to move.
