On the largest square of Snowman City, the cyan-gray stone-paved ground was neat and solemn. The tops of the rough-lined columns were inlaid with delicate and exquisite carvings, and the romantic and elegant Mansard roof sat on top. The symmetrical architectural shape made the square appear magnificent.
The square was full of young men and women wearing Magician robes, with Luo Ning among them.
The bright sunlight slanted down from the eaves, leaving a clear division between light and dark in the crowd.
The time was seven in the morning, and there was still more than an hour before the start of the trial. The Students BOSS who didn't know Magic were giving speeches on the high platform. The content was the same as the "Lead" speech in his previous life, all useless nonsense.
Luo Ning hoped that the "ceremony" would end sooner, because he was standing on the bright side, and the dry content coupled with the dazzling sunlight made Luo Ning feel a little dizzy.
Before Luo Ning came, the original owner had played a little too wildly, so his body was a little weak.
However, the Nobleman Master standing in the sunshade didn't know how the apprentice felt. He continued to talk at length about Knight virtues...
The Students basking in the sun below wanted to vomit, because in that full of precepts, there were only the words blind loyalty.
After standing for an unknown amount of time, after the Students' discussions could not be suppressed, the Noble Dean who didn't know Magic was invited down by the Magic Academy Chief Mentor.
The Chief Mentor and the President were two extremes. He simply encouraged the Students a few words, and then announced the start of the trial.
The Students lined up in two neat rows and walked towards the city gate. The roadsides were crowded with commoners watching the excitement. When the student team passed by, the crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers...
The ceremony similar to a military parade was also the idea of that Noble Dean. Since he became the President, the style of the Magic Academy had become very strange.
The biggest change was the soaring tuition fees of the academy.
The academy began to profit, but the price was that Apprentice Mage lost their sense of mystery and were reduced to clowns like street magicians.
On the way in the queue, Luo Ning saw many family members desperately stuffing things into the apprentice's backpacks. In addition to the emergency potion, some family members even stuffed perfume and exquisite clothes into them?
Was this going to hunt monsters? Or to attend a ball?
Luo Ning felt very absurd.
The team arrived at the city gate. Here, the Students began to look for pre-arranged teammates. Luo Ning stood for a while and waited for Anna.
The girl was as beautiful as last night. She had a very perfect figure. The Magician robe embroidered with silver patterns decorated her young waistline as delicate as a work of art. The fiery red hair was tied into a ponytail and hung in front of her, gentle and yet revealing the unique uninhibitedness of a young girl.
In order to pass the trial, the girl had made full preparations. In addition to the Magician robe engraved with protective magic, she also wore a magic-Pattern leather armor inside. The ribs of the leather armor were engraved with hammers and wine, which was a unique symbol of Dwarves craftsmen.
In addition, she also wore a necklace with an angel wings pattern on her chest, which was a one-time protective Magic item produced by Holy Religion Country...
This guy, didn't say that her family didn't provide support?
How could she say that her family didn't support her, but her appearance was so extravagant that it blinded people!
"Stunned? I said I'm not a vase." Anna trotted up to Luo Ning and looked at him mischievously. The ponytail swayed with her steps, shaking out a beautiful arc in the air.
Luo Ning looked blankly, and the girl in front of him merged with the girl who walked towards him from the shade of the tree in his memory.
Luo Ning felt a tightness in his chest, as if someone had shot his heart with an arrow, and all the cells in his body stopped working, listening carefully to the throbbing produced at that moment.
Noticing Luo Ning's straightforward gaze, Anna said softly, "Disgusting," and then stretched out her small hand to cover Luo Ning's eyes.
"A gentleman wouldn't look at an unmarried lady so straightforwardly," Anna said in a reproachful tone, and then added.
"But I forgive you, who told you to be my childhood sweetheart."
After saying this, Anna took two steps back with her hands behind her back, and said full of energy. "I will definitely assist you well in this trial, please take care of me in the future."
Facing Anna's cheerful gaze, Luo Ning pursed his lips and asked his doubts.
"With your conditions, you shouldn't lack teammates, right?"
This seemed to poke Anna at some point, and her emotions immediately dropped.
After the two walked side by side for a while, Anna replied in a low voice:
"Good equipment... doesn't mean that others will recognize you. On the contrary, they will think you are a nouveau riche, who only relies on props and has no strength at all, so they are even more unwilling to associate with you..."
Luo Ning didn't quite understand this idea. For him, as long as the result meets expectations, it doesn't matter what the process is like.
Unable to understand, Luo Ning chose silence.
And Anna also clearly knew that these words would easily bring trouble to herself, so she quickly changed the subject.
"Wow, is this your secret weapon? It's so cool, can you let me see it?" Anna pointed to the staff wrapped in cloth behind Luo Ning and asked quietly.
This sentence suddenly stumped Luo Ning.
Taking out a Formal Level staff in public, a newbie like Luo Ning also knew that this was a very ostentatious thing, so he didn't say anything and replaced his answer with silence.
Faced with Luo Ning's silent refusal, Anna was a little embarrassed. She wrinkled her nose pretentiously cutely, and then leaned close to Luo Ning's ear and whispered, "Isn't it a Formal Level staff?"
A soft touch came from her arm, Luo Ning swallowed hard, and then nodded very slightly.
The girl opened her cherry lips in surprise, revealing neat white teeth.
After the surroundings cast strange glances, Anna came back to her senses, and the girl patted her chest lightly.
"Please take care of me on the next journey, Captain Da.ren~!" Finally, Anna also used a clipped voice, directly melting Luo Ning's inexperienced heart.
Will!
This guy is really too good at it!!
Luo Ning was directly abused to the point of having no temper, and his mind couldn't help but fantasize, and soon he thought of the picture of the other party wearing a wedding dress and holding his arm.
However, the girl's emotions were like a summer thunderstorm, coming and going quickly.
In the blink of an eye, Anna's emotions dropped again.
The girl sighed and said in a frustrated tone: "I feel like I'm dragging you down. With your strength, you should be able to find a better teammate."
"Like me, who has not much experience and is purely built up with equipment, I am a burden everywhere..."
"Let's go, I have planned the route, let's do your task first, so it saves time."
Luo Ning frowned and interrupted Anna's self-pity.
"Are you still willing to team up with me?" Anna asked with tears in her eyes, and at the same time, she clasped her hands together and hugged Luo Ning's palms.
Trying to move his gaze away from the pretty face with pear blossoms and rain, Luo Ning said with difficulty.
"Let's go, compared to strength, I care more about trust."
After showing off, Luo Ning stretched out his hand and rubbed the dazed hair on top of Anna's head, and then led the way out of the city gate.
Anna looked at Luo Ning's back with admiration, and then stretched out her hand and gestured a scissor gesture behind Luo Ning's invisible angle.

Since physical fitness is also one of the assessment contents, the Students can only walk to their destination.
Luo Ning and Anna walked from morning to night, and barely managed to reach the Town of Hallstatt before the floating bridge was closed.
The town chief heard that the two were here to deal with the Ogre, and enthusiastically provided the two with the most luxurious accommodation in the town.
When Luo Ning arrived, he almost cursed.
What the hell is this broken house that is about to collapse with a gust of wind?
And the black spots on the broth, the Boss Lady told Luo Ning that it was sesame, but Luo Ning felt that it was ants no matter how he looked at it...
After a hasty dinner, Luo Ning returned to his room.
He was enduring his fatigue and was about to do his daily meditation, when there was a knock on the door.
Luo Ning opened the door and found that it was Anna.
She should have just taken a shower, and he could smell a fresh floral fragrance even from a few steps away.
The girl stretched out her hand hidden behind her, letting Luo Ning see the basket of smoked sausages and clear-colored fruit wine.
"I saw that you didn't eat much for dinner, so I specially made these and brought them over, would you like to eat some together..."
Before Luo Ning could speak, Anna added: "A gentleman wouldn't refuse a girl's kindness~"
Now that she had said that, what else could Luo Ning do? He could only step aside to let the other party in.
The process of brewing the atmosphere is omitted, Luo Ning's last memory is that the fruit wine has a really strong aftertaste.
When he woke up the next day, the cold bedding reminded Luo Ning that the person next to him had left early.
After washing up, Luo Ning went to the next room to take a look. The door was locked, and there was no response no matter how he called...
Luo Ning thought Anna had gone to eat breakfast, but he looked around downstairs and didn't see anyone. He asked at the counter, and the Boss Lady said that the girl had left last night.
As if a current Sorry out from the tail vertebra, spreading along the bones to all parts of the body...
Luo Ning shivered, and then suddenly turned around and rushed to the housing on the second floor.
The Boss Lady's suspicious inquiry came from behind, but Luo Ning ignored it.
At this time, only one thought lingered in his mind!
Luo Ning hoped that everything was his illusion.
