Infrastructure starts from the game

Half a month later · Magic Association

"...The children of the third righteous school all passed the magic test with full marks?!"

Angel asked in disbelief.

He almost spit out the tea he just sipped.

Angel rushed to the Magic Association after receiving the news, just for the "Magic Teaching Pilot" project. For Angel, this matter is even more important than selling movie merchandise.

——After all, the magic power base station is Angel's research project, and all the money and magic power earned are for this service, and the magic test scores of the students in the pilot school are directly related to whether Angel can build more base stations.

Of course, Angle believes that the students' grades are good.

Their enthusiasm for "learning" is very high, and the magic power fed to the Sky Fountain in the past six months has expanded the area of ​​the Sky Fountain by more than ten times, enough to cover one-third of the city.

This kind of practical ability cannot pass the magic test, which is unreasonable.

But the problem is that the content of the magic examination is not only meditation, but also a lot of messy things such as spell interpretation, rune filling in the blanks, and a history of magic composition. Angel asked Enlis to ask for her homework, and it felt like a headache. I feel that even if I am an intermediate mage, without a special review, it is impossible to get a high score in this kind of question sea, let alone those little ghosts who really just want to play.

So... Full marks for all... How is it possible? !

Angel calmed down and quickly got the answer: "Did they cheat?"

"It's not cheating! How could it be cheating! It's definitely not cheating!" Officer John jumped up as if he was questioned, and shouted excitedly: "There are dozens of invigilators present, including more than a dozen No elementary mage, or even three middle-level mages, none of them has evidence to prove that those children are cheating! Then how can you say that those cute children are cheating?"

In other words, other people are also suspecting that this group of students cheated, right?

However, goblins are also famous for protecting their shortcomings.

They usually say they are right even if they have evidence to prove that they are wrong, let alone when there is no evidence.

Angel looked at the berserk little old man, and thought to himself, is it really okay for such a guy to enter the Ministry of Education?

What really surprised Angel was that the other people present overwhelmingly supported Operator John today.

"Even if it's cheating, those guys did it first," Mayor Owen said, with a bit of anger in his chubby smile, "For an ordinary magic exam, it's fine to dispatch more than a dozen mages to supervise the field. After one day's meditation results came out, they yelled that the children cheated, and forcibly took away their teachers for investigation! They should show them what real cheating looks like!"

So, you also admitted that you cheated...

"Hmph, it's really satisfying! After all, I've seen through it too! The guy in the capital has no good intentions at all! How can you cheat on the meditation on the first day? They provided the meditation crystals themselves, and the comparison group even found the royal family. The official magic apprentice of the Mage Tower, saw the students meditating too seriously and even interfered! This way, the children can exceed the full mark, which is enough to show how hard they have worked in the past six months! They are still accused of cheating, so let them The investigation is finished!" Hume also said angrily.

Assistant Will stood behind the sofa where Chapter President Hume was.

Hearing this, he couldn't help frowning: "But the Ministry of Education is not going to admit this result, and is going to send two high-ranking mages to investigate..."

"So what if they get a conclusion from their investigation?" A little old lady said, "It took two high-ranking mages to investigate how a group of children who are not magic apprentices cheated. How dare they have any face? Let me tell you, no matter the students What methods they used to successfully deceive everyone, they have already proved their strength! This is also the consistent tradition of mages!"

The tradition of mage exams is to cheat...

It seems to be right.

Angel twitched the corners of his mouth. He finally noticed that there was a little old lady whom he didn't know this time.

——In other words, Angor actually noticed that there was a stranger here from the very beginning, but Angel didn't want to know who the other person was, and he wasn't going to deal with him, nor did he want to increase unnecessary interpersonal relationships.

It's just that since the other party has spoken, it seems that it is not good to almost pretend that the other party does not exist.

Angel had no choice but to look at the old lady.

The old lady was wearing a long and narrow crepe dress popular in Sesser, and a bright red mage robe over it. Her silver hair was also fashionable ear-length curly hair. It could be vaguely seen that she must have been a beautiful woman when she was young. , it's just that the eyebrows and eyes look a little stern, and it seems that it's not easy to talk.

Hume Branch President finally found the opportunity to say: "This is the lord of the academy city Cagoffin, Ms. Mary Yani."

"Hi." Angel hesitated.

Sure enough, he is a big man!

Although the lord of Academy City sounds similar to the mayor of Cecilia City, it is actually more complicated.

The city of Cecilia still belongs to this country, and the mayor of Owen also needs to be appointed by the king formally. He must obey the dispatch of the central government and not be too arbitrary.

But Academy City is not like that.

Strictly speaking, this city does not belong to the Middle Kingdom. It only temporarily uses the territory of this country, and it has recruited students from various places and races in this plane since the magic age. In the most glorious era, even the elves The next queen must go to Academy City for further studies, and in this era, there are also crown princes from neighboring small countries studying here, so it is basically a neutral city.

In fact, Academy City has declared independence during several plane wars, acting as an envoy to deal with various races, and the students who go to school there have the right to immunity from war according to the usual practice.

The identity of the leader of such a city is naturally very complicated.

But Ms. Yani didn't have the reserve of a big man, she held Angel's hand enthusiastically, and said with a smile: "Hello, Hume has mentioned you many times before, I always want to see you sooner! "

Angel vigilantly said: "See me? Why?"

There is nothing to be courteous, and it is either a traitor or a thief!

Yani didn't mind Angel's vigilance, and asked with a smile: "Are you interested in building a magic base in Academy City?"

"Can you?!" Angel immediately held Ms. Yani's hand back.

What is vigilance?Can I eat it?

Mithril, who was hiding in Angor's shadow, scratched the back of Angor's neck with his claws, and Angor finally didn't lose his mind.

He hesitated and asked, "But why? You don't really believe that those students' test scores are all right?"

"The students' grades are all right!" Officer John hummed and said.

"They have already proved their progress with their meditation grades. As for the later theoretical grades, are they important?" Ms. Yani said cunningly, "Magic education does need to be reformed, but it is definitely not a copy of another system."

Speaking of this, Ms. Yani's expression became serious: "The academy city Cagoffin was built with magic, and the history of this world is also written with magic. We have been using magic to study the origin of this world. Even if there is a kind of The new problem-solving method, or this method called "science" is indeed correct, what we have to do is not to throw away the old problem-solving method (magic) and copy the new method without thinking! Instead, we should start from the fundamental Go online to study why others do that, if we are wrong, where is the mistake, and how to think and learn in the future!"

... You are right, you are indeed a great educator, but I just want to go online.

Angel smiled politely.

Ms. Yani didn't know how to understand Angel's smile. In short, she took a breath and said excitedly: "I visited the pilot school these days, and I think the new magic teaching proposed by Mr. Angel is an effective and interesting attempt. direction, and hope to conduct a trial in Cagoffin! Academy City can accept the same contract requirements, and can even provide you with a magic well left over from the Second Magic Era for your research!"

"Of course the same is true for Cecilia!" Mayor Owen said immediately, "Even if the Ministry of Education judges that this test is unqualified, we will provide relevant policies and resources to your magic base station in the name of municipal projects. Do you have any needs that you can directly ask?!"

This is also because Angel brought enough benefits.

Even without talking about magic education, the surrounding factories currently supported by Angor have enough capital for Owen to fully support without any worries, let alone the tourism economy driven by "Magical Girl☆Maya" next.

Instead, Angel was a little dizzy.

"Wait a minute, let me think about it." An Ge whispered.

The pie is too big, the stomach is too small, what should I do if I can't finish it all at once?Wait online!Very urgent!

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Education.

"It's a magical girl again! Are these stupid mortals only staring at the witch to find the meaning of life? Obviously in the age of magic, the witch and the black robe are guys who should be hanged on the stake and burned to death!"

Minister Payson threw the newspaper aside, and said accusingly.

Recently, the amiable Minister of Education in the East has been unable to maintain his friendly smile more and more.

He was annoyed to see all the news about Magic Gears, and all the papers were covering the damn movie.

It's just a bunch of talentless people!

Minister Payson thought angrily.

Payson was quite disapproving of the "educational pilot" project that Cecilia Mayor Owen united with the Magic Association and an alchemy workshop.

Although he felt that the magic education based on the magic well was indeed a great deal, and the black robe who would sponsor this thing must have a sick mind!But at the same time, he also believes that even if the untalented use the magic well, it is just a waste of resources.

This is also the general perception in the magic circle of the capital.

From the beginning of the first magic era, some people believed that magic talent was a kind of power chosen by the gods. It was not something that ordinary people could learn and possess at will. Only the chosen ones could master this power.

Mythril, the greatest magic emperor in history, built his magic kingdom based on this theory.

Now the mage tower is still using the magic detection crystal made by the magic emperor to find talents - within the range of the crystal, so talents with low-level and above potentials will be selected and enter the mage tower to learn.

All other humans are lowly pariahs.

They are scumbags cast aside by the gods, fodder for a disordered world.

It's a pity that due to several demon invasions and plane wars, the power of human beings among these alien races is too small. The noble mages have to tolerate those pariahs to spy on the secrets of magic, but even so, what mortals have learned It's just the most trivial knowledge, and even came up with stupid alchemy, thinking that he can control magic power.

Some of these mages were actually affected by this, and even abandoned their dignity as the chosen people of the gods, built the rebellious city of Cagoffin, taught magic to all races, and treated noble magic knowledge as a papyrus.

Some mages with broken brains even built a mage tower near the abyss, using their bodies chosen by the gods to protect those stupid mortals, and called this city "the capital of magic" or something!

Don't they feel that what they have done is trampling on the dignity of magic? !

These years, they were also the ones who proposed compulsory magic education, trying to let more mortals learn magic.

Ordinary people should learn the knowledge of ordinary people!

Since these mortals think that steel can fly into the sky without magic, let them dream foolish dreams!

Fortunately, those mortals are existences that cannot be supported by mud. How can a guy who has no potential even judge the magic power detection crystal to truly master magic!

With the development of compulsory education, more and more money is invested, but there are fewer and fewer mages. Finally, even some neutral mages can't stand it, and more and more people choose to support the abolition of compulsory magic education.

Of course, the traditional mages have made a lot of "efforts".

For example, letting young children get in touch with magic meditation in advance, memorizing the entire history of magic, not allowing too much magic practice for safety reasons, and learning magic spells and runes without a foundation of magic power are all open plans.

Magic apprentices also need to learn this when they enter the Mage Tower!

It's just that talented people are more likely to get in touch with the core secrets of magic, so it's easier to sustain it, while those without talent can't find their way no matter how hard they work, so they can only choose to give up.

Even the magic promotion and education party can't come up with a solution to this.

According to the expectations of the Royal Mage Tower, these few years are the most critical years.

As long as the results of the magic examination are worse, people's interest in magic is lower, and the public thinks magic is useless, those stupid people will ask for the cancellation of magic compulsory education, so as not to encroach on their "precious" time.

For this purpose, an orthodox mage like Peisen, who was born in the Royal Mage Tower, was sent to the Ministry of Education in the East.

Payson has indeed done well in the past few years.

The voluntary students in Cecilia City have been declining for five consecutive years in the National Magic Examination.

If this "terrible" situation persists, Minister Payson will of course be dismissed and return to the magic circle of the capital "disappointedly", but even the hardliner Owen has no qualifications to continue compulsory education!

Therefore, although Minister Peisen was very disapproving of the "education pilot", he still adopted the method of despising the enemy strategically and paying attention to the enemy tactically.

While encouraging the stupid and mischievous goblin mixed-blood subordinates to contact the Magic Association to find out the latest progress of the other party's pilot, he arranged the magic unified examination in the Magic Association "in order to ensure the accuracy of the results of this pilot". In the place where it is absolutely impossible to intervene, the invigilator who is absolutely biased towards oneself is sent, and even a group of genuine magic apprentices who are about to enter the mage tower are used as a comparison group, in order to prevent the test results from being too eye-catching.

But I don't know what method the other party used to cheat, the meditation scores of those mortals actually surpassed those of the magic apprentices!

Peisen detained the teacher who led the team at that time, and asked him to explain clearly the cheating methods.

Unexpectedly, on the second day, those students became even more frantic and got full marks, confirming the fact of cheating!

What makes Peisen most angry is that he knows very well that it doesn't matter whether the students are cheating or not. Because of the high-profile invigilation strategy, even if they can investigate the instigators behind them, it is only "letting mortal students Successfully cheating in front of a mage" has already become an indelible stain on Peisen's file!

"No! Can't go on like this!"

If the "education pilot" is successful, he, the minister of education in the east, will have to sit in this unlucky position in this remote border area for the rest of his life, and he will never be able to return to the magic circle of the royal capital.

But just finding out how those brats cheated did not help the matter, not to mention that Owen Hume and others were obviously protecting those brats, and even Academy City got involved.

How to break the game?

Payson thought irritably, his eyes fell on the newspaper on the table again: "Those damned black robes and witches..."

By the way, the black robe——

If it is purely the reason that the pilot school of free school cheated collectively in order to pass the magic examination, it is definitely not acceptable. If the current situation is not caught, everything is an afterthought.

But if there is a bigger conspiracy and a more eye-catching motive for cheating, wouldn't it be possible to turn this matter over?

For example, the black robe's magic base is actually a mind control device!

The children and even the teachers have been completely brainwashed by him!

In order to further expand the scope of his magic power base station, he led this cheating exam!

Under this level of conspiracy, even Owen and Hume cannot protect themselves, so they must be responsible for this incident!

"Haha, maybe I will become the hero who exposes the black robe's conspiracy!" Minister Pei Sen sneered.

Of course, Person also knows that this kind of accusation is useless just talking about it, and there must be more conclusive "evidence".

He had to go to the magic well at the location of the "education pilot" in person, and if necessary, he had to go to the magic gear workshop in person to obtain "evidence".

However, since the Royal Mage Tower sent Peisen to such a remote border, it did not allow Peisen to fight alone, but allocated corresponding resources and support personnel to Peisen, and asked these people to assist Peisen.

Under normal circumstances, Person does not have contact with the other party to avoid exposure.

But this time something went wrong, and he was going to attack the unsightly black robe, so he was naturally worried about letting other intermediaries notify the other party.

"Forget it, I'll go there by myself!"

Minister Payson muttered, picked up his coat and hat, and walked out the door.

Seeing Minister Peisen coming out, several officials from the Ministry of Education greeted him: "Minister, do you have any orders?"

"...I'm going to visit the Mage Tower. There are a few high-level mages I know well there. I'll see if I invite them to investigate the 'cheating case'. This will make everyone feel more at ease." Pei Sen still took Said with a friendly smile.

"Ah, that's it, it's really hard work, Minister!"

"Those guys in the royal capital are looking for trouble from the very beginning. I think they just don't want us to be good."

"The scum in the capital... Ah, Minister, we're not talking about you. Although you are also from the capital, you are completely different from those high-ranking guys!"

The cadres of the Ministry of Education said in a hurry.

This also shows that Peisen has succeeded in being a human being.

This time, so many troubles were brought out, and no one in the entire Ministry of Education suspected that the steps of the unified examination were arranged by their ministers, because the higher-level people did not support the education pilot and deliberately found fault, so they stood on the side of the students instead. On the side, there are not a few of them who secretly applauded like Owen John.

Some of the royal capitals even sent high-ranking mages to interfere with the education issues in the Eastern Territory.

Immediately, someone asked enthusiastically: "Minister Peisen, do you need me to accompany you?"

Listening to the words of these "faithful subordinates", Pei Sen was so angry that he vomited blood, and he had to keep a refined smile on his face: "No, I will use magic to move to the mage tower, and the speed will be faster!"

"That's right, our minister is also a mage! It's still a mid-level white robe!"

"How could those students cheat under the nose of our minister."

"So those people in the capital are too stupid, hahaha!"

"..."

With a twitching expression, Pei Sen left the Ministry of Education as if fleeing, and moved to the Mage Tower.

He sent out a signal near the mage tower, but no one responded, let alone came out to meet him.

"What the hell is going on today?"

Pei Sen had no choice but to cover his body with a white robe before sneaking up to the target mage's tower and knocking on the door knocker of the mage's tower.

The door of the mage tower opened immediately, and a young woman wearing a mage's robe stood at the door.

Strange, why isn't that wicked doll dressed up today?

Payson thought nonchalantly, and asked the woman:

"Behring, is your master there?"

"...Of course." The woman raised the corners of her mouth and showed a sweet smile.

On the other side, the black robe is about to leave the Magic Association.

After all, building a magic base station is a big deal. Although Mayor Owen and Ms. Yani have expressed their intentions, they are not going to force Angor to agree immediately. Everyone needs time.

"By the way, about those students..."

"They didn't cheat," John reiterated.

"I know they didn't cheat, but can you show me their test papers or other information? At least let me know!" Angel demanded.

Although the order of the magic base station made him very happy, Angel still wanted to find out how those students achieved their current "achievements". After all, the "magic courses" he arranged should not have this effect.

Operator John did not reject the proposal.

He gave Angor a thick stack of materials bumped into the file bag, and whispered: "Don't leak it."

"No, it has nothing to do with me anyway, doesn't it?" Angel said, glanced at the file on the top of the file, and then he was stunned.

There is a photo on the file.

Probably a group photo of the students before the exam or something, anyway, the reason for the shooting is not very important.

The problem is, these students look adorable in their school uniforms and little hats.

Especially those little jazz caps, which seem to be newly designed, with trendy styles and novel styles, so that they seem a bit out of place with the old school uniforms. I don't know which big factory produced them.

Angel's eyelids twitched on the spot.

...Damn it, it really has something to do with him!
