Gardener Mage Notebook

That friend of yours is pretty good. "Louis touched his chin and looked at him.

Merlin nodded solemnly. In his eyes, the students who passed the exams of the Academy of Magic are very good!

While speaking, several freshmen walked onto the stage.

"Number 110: Louis Gilbert."

"Yes!" Louis jumped up immediately: "Here it is here!!!"

"Merlin, I'm going up~ just wait and see my heroic appearance!" Louis showed his white teeth.

"Come on." Merlin encouraged him.

Louis waved his hand smartly and strode up.

Louis on the stage took a bright red dart and stood five meters away. It was the first time Merlin saw Louis so focused.Under the resolute expression, he seemed to be able to see the tall figures of the fathers behind him.

Hold your breath, concentrate your whole body's mental strength, lock on to the target, and then release!

"go!!!!"

With a loud roar from Louis, the fiery red dart rushed towards the target plate with brilliant flames!

Benedict!The dart was firmly nailed to the target plate, and the bright red flame flashed away. The 10 cm long dart penetrated into the target plate, and the tail feathers were still trembling slightly.

"Yes!" Louis clenched his fist.There was also a burst of praise from the audience.

The professor beside me who was recording the score nodded.Louis walked off the stage with his head held high like a triumphant rooster.

"Number [-]: Merlin August."

Suddenly, Merlin's name rang out in the hall.Merlin was so scared that he stood up instantly!

"Come on!" Louis returned to his seat and patted Merlin vigorously.

"...I'll try my best." Merlin clenched his lower lip tightly, tightening his sleeves nervously.

"Go." The old man glanced at Merlin who was about to die, and said lightly.

"..." Merlin and the old man who appeared halfway looked at each other, and there was a hint of encouragement in the old man's eyes.Inexplicably, Merlin was touched by the old man's eyes, clenched his fists and walked towards the stage.

After a short distance, Merlin felt that the surroundings began to quiet down, and countless eyes were looking at him wherever he walked, and Merlin, who had never been in the spotlight since he was a child, got wet on his back.

"Don't be nervous, choose one you like." The professor standing by the table looked at the nervous little man kindly.

"Mmm." Merlin let go of his clenched hands, palms were sweaty.

Walking in front of a row of darts in dazzling colors, Merlin immediately took a fancy to a cobalt blue dart.Because in his opinion, cobalt blue is the most obvious in a bunch of red and yellow.

The old man in the audience frowned, as if he was a little surprised by Merlin's choice.

"Is Merlin of the water system?" Louis stretched his neck to look at Merlin.

"..." The old man looked at Merlin, and there was a little more scrutiny in his deep eyes.

A drop of sweat dripped down Merlin's forehead as he looked at the bid five meters away from him.With so many patterns, which one should he choose?

"Of course I choose the big one!" Mrs. August, who was thousands of miles away, stood by the counter, chatting with the woman who came to buy the milk jug, "This jug is big like everything else. It’s easy to use! It’s packed and sturdy! It’s also very elegant to display at home! Don’t look at the style that the mayor’s maid uses that can be mastered with one hand. It’s all made of brass, and it’s hot when the milk is hot. Very useful. And that capacity is less than one-third of this one." Mrs. August tried her best to sell.The idea that everything is big and good has penetrated into her daily life.Of course, it also profoundly affected Merlin's worldview.

Staring at the largest-looking green olive branch symbol wrapped around a blue water snake on the board, Merlin threw the dart in his hand.

I saw the dart running towards... the ground at a perfect parabolic angle.With a ding, the cobalt blue silver dart landed successfully, leaving a scratch on the shiny floor.

...the audience was silent.

"..." Merlin wrung his hands in bewilderment, looking at the dart uneasily, it didn't even reach the target, this is considered... a failure?

"This is..." The professor who was recording by the side was also surprised. It was also the first time he saw a freshman who didn't even reach the bid.The professors sitting nearby gathered together, discussing something in a low voice.From time to time, his eyes fell on Merlin who was standing alone.

As the professors discussed, the voice of discussion off the court gradually grew louder, and words such as no magic power and no talent could be vaguely heard.

Anxiety and bewilderment flooded his heart like a tide. Merlin didn't know where to put his gaze, and there were cold gazes all around him. Those low voices of discussion seemed to be mocking his incompetence.For a moment, it seemed like he was the only one left on the stage.

Sure enough, shouldn't he be here?Merlin lowered his head and looked sadly at the darts on the ground. He didn't pass any magic test, and he came to this place just by relying on a letter. It really didn't work...

"Pick it up and throw it again." A reprimand came from the audience. Merlin looked up and saw the old man with the hooked nose walking towards him with a dissatisfied face. The red iris on the old man's head and the green mage robe formed a strong contrast. Contrast, but without the slightest sense of humor, it added a bit of majesty to the old man.

Merlin was stunned for a while, can he still vote for the second time?

"Professor Leland, each freshman can only have one chance." A professor frowned and said.

"Pick it up." Ignoring the professor's reminder, the old man named Lilan said.

Merlin pursed his lower lip, bent down and picked up the silver dart.

"Professor Leland, this is a violation of school rules!" The ignored professor shouted.The audience suddenly became quiet, and everyone was watching the accident.

"If the school rules can't guarantee the rights and interests of the students, what's the use?" Leland glanced at the dean who was sitting aside and watching the changes, and the latter avoided his gaze.Seeing that even the dean was patient with the people in front of him, the professor who spoke out held his breath and didn't speak out again.The others fell silent.

"Throw it away, concentrate your mental strength this time. Don't get distracted." Lilan stood still behind Merlin with his hands behind his back. "Be stronger, don't act like you haven't eaten!"

"Yes!" With the support of the old man behind him, Merlin finally regained a little bit of his confidence that had long since disappeared.Even if it fails, the journey will be worth it if you can get to know the person who protects him.

Picking up the dart, Merlin closed his eyes and took a deep breath, concentrating on recalling the green olive branch symbol... In his blank mind, there seemed to be a bunch of colorful light spots flying around him, red orange yellow green blue blue purple ... Merlin seemed to see a particle-shaped rainbow.

"Gather them together." The old man's voice suddenly sounded in his mind, startling Merlin.The colored light spots flew away in an instant, and the world became blank again.

"Listen to me!" the old man shouted, his tone hurried. "Collect the elements!"

"Yes!" Merlin hastened to concentrate, and chased those naughty little light spots little by little. What surprised him was that the light spots seemed to be able to read his own mind, and they gathered together obediently, forming a ball of light. It soon appeared in Merlin's hands.Jumping light spots surrounded Merlin's palm, and jumped over Merlin's palm from time to time.

"Open your eyes and cast a good score." The old man's voice sounded again.

Looking at the light ball in his hand, the bustling light spots moved faster in Merlin's hands, as if they wanted to break free from Merlin's hands.Seeing that the light spots were about to scatter again, Merlin quickly opened his eyes!

The blank world was instantly replaced by the familiar auditorium, and the signs of the water snake and olive branch five meters away became extremely clear at this moment. Merlin narrowed his eyes, as if the dart in his hand merged with the light spot he caught, and wanted to let go agitatedly.Merlin was certain in his heart, obeyed the intention of Guangdian, and threw the dart in his hand towards the target plate!

The dart rushed towards the dial along a high-flying parabola, and finally inserted majestically between the water snake and the olive branch.

A brilliant green light mixed with light blue immediately lit up.

"...!" Merlin could almost hear his own heart beating like a drum!

"See?" Leland waved the crutch in his hand at the dean.

The dean nodded. "This child has the qualifications to enroll."

"Let's go." After getting the answer he wanted, Lilan walked off the stage slowly.Merlin followed behind him step by step.The students in the audience stared at this scene dumbfounded, unable to say anything.

Seeing the two people leaving, one old and one young, the professor sitting next to the dean finally couldn't help but said: "Is it really good to let that child enroll in this way, Dean?" They had clearly sensed the magic just now The fluctuation of the elements, this fluctuation still happened between Leland and the freshman, which shows that Lilan used magic to help the freshman, which is a serious violation.

"Elemental light can't lie..." The dean said after a long time with his deep eyes hidden behind the shadows.

"But that light is not pure elemental light." Another person stood up.The location of the freshman's shot happened to be at the junction of the water system and the wood system, so the excited elemental light had impurities at all. Of course, there would be no problem with the tester that had a service life of hundreds of years. This just shows that This freshman has problems of his own.

"When did Lilan's vision fail?" the dean smiled.

Hearing these words, all the people gathered around the dean fell silent.Indeed, the students under Leland are all amazing existences without exception.

"Go on, there are still a group of outstanding freshmen waiting to be tested." The dean smiled.

Another special person... Looking at the full house of freshmen, the dean's eyes were full of smiles.

Outside the auditorium, Leland is alone
