Hunter x Hunter: The Ubiquitous Dragon Life

Thesaros Magic and Martial Arts Academy is not so much an academy as it is an island. Overlooking from a high altitude, the entire island presents a closed pentagram landform structure, suspended in isolation on the sea, and connected to the mainland through a long The sea-crossing bridge connects Ienia and Thessalos.

In addition to the students and teachers of the academy, the only guests who can walk on the bridge and finally enter the academy are invited guests. Those who are not allowed to enter can only imagine the demeanor of the academy through the dictation of others. One of the most mysterious academies in the mainland, so, even if many people do not think they have any hope of being admitted to the annual recruitment day, there are not a few people who come to see the true face of the academy.

The satellite city, Ienlia, is also in its busiest season on this exam day, which is like a major festival. Students taking the exam, relatives and friends who came to see off, and servants and servants to serve filled the entire town, all the hotels. It was full, and the queues waiting to eat in the restaurant had already lined up the distance of the elders. The discussions that could be heard on the streets and alleys were all about the topic of the exam and some of the famous people who took the exam in previous years.

In the face of such a hot environment and the whole people are focused on taking the test, it is absolutely false to say that there is no excitement or excitement, but Cellulu and Jin have traveled all over the city and found that they could not find a place to stay. After the place, Jin had no choice but to give up the plan to take a night's rest and go to the exam the next day, and directly led Cellulu to the reception desk at the bridge entrance.

The bridge is at the end of the town, and the high city wall blocks the sight of Thessalos. Only through the tall and solemn bronze gate can you see a long bluestone road extending into the depths of the sea. At the end, there is a lush green island lying on the blue waves, and the scorching sun shines directly down. The whole island seems to be plated with a layer of gold.

But Cellulu doesn't have the heart to appreciate it now. She's nervous, and she's not ready yet. She's about to be put on the shelves.

"Really, those who came to take the exam don't know what they are thinking. Since they are all ready to take the exam, why don't they go to the academy? They are all crowded in this town, and they don't know what they are waiting for!"

Seeing Celluloid's indignant, pouting and frowning expression, Jin laughed for a while, and couldn't help but sneer.

"Haha, just like you, I'm nervous. Thinking about procrastinating for a moment is a moment."

"Uncle, you are making fun of me!"

Being exposed, Cellulu immediately turned into anger from shame and slapped Jin's arm, thinking that she must not be looked down upon by her uncle, and now she has no timid thoughts anymore, and angrily goes to the place. The registration office killed him, and Jin Xiaoxiao followed.

There were already many people queuing at the reception, and the staff of the academy handed out signs to the visitors while talking about the basic procedure of the exam.

"The candidates who take the exam get a red card, those who accompany the exam take a blue card, and those who accompany the exam are only sent to the main square of the college. All candidates need to take the basic test in the auditorium. The results of the basic test will determine whether they are eligible to apply for the college, and in which college. The academy accepts exams."

Jin was a little surprised. Thesaros was indeed different from other academies. There was still such a screening method. The person in front of them also whispered with his companions.

"As expected of Thesaros, it's complicated enough. Don't you usually go to which college you want to go to?"

"That's why Thesaros is known as the top academy in the mainland. It claims to never bury any talents. It is also the academy with the most talents in both subjects and martial arts, because the examinations here are systematic and comprehensive. Test students' abilities in all aspects, and then teach students according to their aptitude."

Someone answered, but it was not the companion of the speaker just now. The two people who spoke in front, including Jin and Cellulu, looked back curiously. A boy who looked no more than sixteen or seventeen walked towards them from outside the team. The man was wearing a gray long-sleeved linen jacket and gray trousers, dressed like a commoner everywhere, but his appearance and temperament made even the arrogant aristocrat look at it, and he would not say it as soon as he came up. bad words.

The boy has a cute baby face, handsome features, light brown hair, with golden light shining at the tips of the hair in the sun, flexible green eyes blinking, revealing a smart taste, and a friendly face on his face. And the bright smile makes people feel good at first sight.

The young man saw that the attention of the four of them turned to him. After his eyes swept across the faces of the first two speakers, he stopped on Jin and Cellulu. The young man took a step forward, neatly He extended his hand to Jin generously, and introduced himself with a smile on his face.

"Hello, my name is Xia Ke, and I came here to take the test. Let's get to know him."

Going out and relying on friends, not to mention the young man in front of him, Jin looks very kind, and naturally he will not refuse to meet another person, he returned to hold the boy's hand, Jin felt that the joints of his hands were thick and strong, and there were still Some tiny calluses, these are the hand characteristics that only a long-term martial artist can have. It is very different from the appearance of the young man who doesn't seem to have suffered hardships. He is not a simple person. He has good skills. , Kim concluded.

Although Jin thought about it quickly, the young man seemed to be less used to shaking hands than he was. With one touch, he had already withdrawn his hand. Jin could only introduce himself after he had withdrawn his hand.

"Kim Fulis, this is my niece Lulu Lantis."

"Your •••niece?

There seemed to be a hint of surprise in the knight's tone, and there was a hint of confusion in his eyes when he looked at them, but after a short while, he smiled and stretched out his hand towards Cellulu, with an intimate and authentic tone.

"Lulu, can I call you Lulu?"

"No problem, knight." Naturally, he reached out his hand and shook it back. Cellulu smiled, and the boy's name came out smoothly.

Not only did she not reject Cellulu's affectionate attitude towards her, but she responded to it, and the knight's smile became even brighter.

Jin looked at it, but suddenly felt a little tired and crooked in his heart. This kid is too familiar, especially when he saw that the hands that were holding Cellulo didn't mean to put it down at all. Thinking of this person just now, he could almost say He couldn't wait to let go of his hand, the contrast was too stark.

At this time, the knight suddenly screamed in surprise as if he had discovered some new continent.

"Huh? Lulu, our rings are actually the same. What a coincidence, it's so fateful."

Cellulu took a closer look, no, she couldn't help laughing.

"Ah, really, uncle also has the same ring. It's a coincidence that all three of them wear the same ring."

"Oh, does your uncle have one too? Haha." The corner of the knight's mouth was a little stiff, he glanced at Jin, and put down his hand.

While they were talking, it was Jin and the others' turn to receive the sign, and the knight naturally followed behind, took his share, and followed them to the long bridge.

On both sides of the long bridge, there are blue waves, shimmering, the sea breeze, seagulls hovering gracefully in the air, and chirping loudly. In such a pleasant scenery, Celluloid, who was originally worried about the uncertain future of the exam, only felt in his heart. Immediately, I opened up a lot, and my mood was also refreshing. Moreover, the knight I just met is a very talkative person. Since I went on the road together, I have been talking to her non-stop. The two of them only knew each other for the first time, so even if they had a good impression of the knight, they were still a little unfamiliar with the conversation, and from time to time they pulled their uncle to join the topic, but the knight was very eloquent. The closeness is even stronger, so after a while, the feeling of talking with strangers has been completely erased from Cellulu's heart, and even thanks to his conversation, even the nervousness about facing the exam is temporarily overwhelmed. I forgot to go beyond the clouds, until I saw the end of the long bridge, a solemn school gate made of brass and carved in turquoise towering towering, did I get nervous again.

Stopping in front of the school gate, the knight observed the gate, which was about five meters high, up and down, and then commented with some seriousness.

"It's just normal up close. The truth guides us forward? Thessalos' school motto is ordinary."

Cellulu also looked up. The line of school mottoes carved in cursive characters hung on the lintel. She did not feel ordinary. She even felt a heavy sense of oppression coming from the school gate. The lofty position at the top of the continent's wisdom and the aura of countless legends imposed on it bring about the authority and historical weight, people can't help but feel awe, and they are willing to be subdued by this momentum, and the people around them are obviously too. With such thoughts, all of them have red light on their faces, looking up at the school gate with admiration and longing, and their yearning is beyond words.

"Let's go in."

Jin, like the knight, didn't have any great feelings either, but he still waited until Cellulu recovered from the shock before moving on.

Going further inside the school gate is a large square. In the middle stands the founder of the academy, who has obtained the stigmata of glory and was once recognized by the entire continent as the king of mercenaries. Pagri, who is both a swordsman and a great magician Fei's bronze statue. At this time, this square paved with huge white slate has accommodated nearly 10,000 people. A soft voice echoed over the square, indicating the direction of the auditorium that candidates should go to. I don't know what it was used for. The alchemy equipment, even though the place is unusually empty and there are nearly 10,000 people's voices interfering, the voice is still clearly audible, and it reaches everyone's ears without any obstacle.

Walking through the crowded wall, all they heard were the high-pitched urgings of the test takers, the encouragement, and the test takers' vowed statement of determination. The three of them followed the directions and found the auditorium, which was also gathered here. There are thousands of people, everyone is high-spirited and radiant, with a flush of excitement covering their cheeks, with dreams and ambitions in their eyes, eager to try and succeed and enter the academy, which means success and hope. Can create a legend.

Seeing this scene, Cellulu couldn't help but exclaimed.

"There are so many people, are they all coming for the exam? Even if the number of people recruited is small, and the base is so large, Thessalos should have been crowded out long ago."

"You think Thesaros is a cabbage on the side of the road. It's so cheap that anyone can enter." The knight couldn't help laughing and pretended to sigh. He shook his head and broke the news.

"Nearly 10,000 people apply for the Thessalos College every year, and the proportion of admission is about 2-3%, but among the less than 300 people who are admitted, those who fail to pass the first year of courses and are forced to drop out accounted for Take 50% of the number of people, and the remaining 50% can successfully complete their studies within the specified number of years, reach the advanced vocational level, and less than 10% of the people who get their graduation certificates leave. Years later, less than 15 people can get out, and the elimination rate is really high."

The knight shrugged, although his mouth was extremely alarmist, but he didn't seem to have any unease or apprehension at all.

But after hearing this astonishing number, Celluloid's self-confidence became more and more low. "So strict? I definitely won't pass the test."

"Don't put too much pressure on it, if you don't pass the test, you won't be able to pass the test." Jin rubbed Cellulu's hair and comforted.

"Yeah." Said that, but Cellulu didn't relax at all.

"The first is the basic test. Whether you can continue the test depends on this level."

The knights looked at the twenty or so small rooms with curtains that were spread out in front of the auditorium. From time to time, candidates came in and out. Some of the people who came out were elated and ecstatic. Some people are full of despair, and even cry in the hall. Once they are rejected in the basic test, it means that their talent is too low, and they are not suitable for developing in any aspect of magic and martial arts. Also extremely limited.

But no matter what kind, most of the candidates' faces are not very good, or pale, or strangely rosy, with a collapsed expression.

This exam seems to be somewhat famous, the knight thought with a little interest.

In the anxiety, Cellulu finally waited for her basic test. Xia Ke, Jin and she belonged to the same batch. After giving a look of encouragement and a word of cheer, they each entered the two small rooms next to her. Cellulu clenched her fists, took a deep breath, lifted the curtain, and walked in.

There was a chubby old man sitting inside, smiling and looking extremely kind. Seeing Cellulu's somewhat stiff and cramped movements, he comforted him with a smile.

"Don't be nervous, just an extremely simple test, come on, put your hand on the crystal on the left first."

On the square table in front of the old man, there were two crystals on the left and one on the right. Cellulu calmed down, and then followed the instructions and pressed the crystal with her hand. It didn't take long for the crystal to emit light, and the brightness gradually increased. When a constant brightness was reached, the old man spoke.

"Okay, let it go, you have a talent for magic and can go to the Magic Branch for further testing."

Cellulu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but before she started to be happy, the old man continued. "Now put your hand on the crystal on the right, and an illusion will appear next. Don't worry about actual damage. It's just fake, so you just need to use all your strengths."

Cellulu didn't quite understand what he meant, but she still put it down obediently. The next second, she found herself standing in an open field. Before she could understand, the scene suddenly turned into a forest. Then, there was a rustling noise behind her. She turned around and saw that a large mouth of blood appeared above her head. She stared blankly, and then suddenly realized that she screamed out without waiting for her. Continuing to move, the big mouth had already bitten down, and with a click, after a brief period of darkness, Cellulu found herself back in the empty field.

Covering her heart in shock, Cellulu was still in shock about what happened just now, but the scene changed again. Her feet suddenly hung in the air, and there was an abyss beneath her, and a cliff overgrown with trees in front of her. She accelerated and kept going. Falling down, celluloid took a while, and finally reached out to grab the branch protruding from the cliff. After grabbing a few times, all of them were empty. Finally, she finally managed to cling to one, and she just hung up like that. In the sky, you can't go up or down.

Cellulu knew that this was an illusion, but the illusion was so realistic that all the feelings seemed to tell her that what she had experienced was real. Her body was swaying with the wind, so she had to use more strength to grab the branches, so as not to be swept away by the strong wind, her fingers became more and more numb, and her arms were sore that it was more like she was about to be forcibly ripped off from her shoulders. Similarly, Cellulu gritted her teeth and persisted, holding on to the life-saving straw, but the strength in her hand became less and less, and finally the branch slipped from Cellulu's hand, and she fell.

She returned to the open field again, and after two consecutive tests, she finally understood what she should face next, so when she saw a group of human-eating bees chasing her, Cellulu only hated her parents. She gave birth to two legs less for herself, but unfortunately, even if she thinks she ran out of speed, out of level, out of record, it is estimated that she will not run faster in this life than now, she still gets stabbed a few times from time to time , that tingling and painful tingling sensation made Cellulu feel that life was better than death, and it was even more difficult to run under her feet. In the group, she returned to the empty field.

Then there is the balance beam performance on the Flaming Mountain. Below is the hot and rolling magma. Under the foot is the winding rock road of less than 50 cm. The road behind is constantly collapsing. If you don't move forward, you will only fall. Celluloid ran 100 meters. Later, one did not step on it firmly and fell.

In the next test, Celluloid was completely numb. Anyway, every time she struggled for a long time, she was gameover. Therefore, after another gameover, when she suddenly found herself standing in front of the crystal ball again, Celluloid lost. The old man didn't regain his senses for a long time, until the old man smiled and held a piece of paper, shaking his head and commenting.

"Reaction 0, Strength 1, Endurance 2, Explosion 2, Balance 3, Agility 2, Flexibility 3, Observation 7, Aim 3, Control 3, hehe, except for observation, the other averages are average. With less than 3 points down, it looks like the little girl is not suitable for applying for the martial arts branch."

Cellulu opened her mouth, and then suddenly became angry, she slapped the table and shouted.

"How can you test like this, let people experience the scene of life and death repeatedly, what if someone can't bear that kind of mental pressure?"

The old man wasn't angry either, he still smiled genially.

"Well, little girl, you didn't survive all the tests, but now you can still quarrel with me full of anger. It seems that you have a good mental stress resistance. Well, I will give you an 8 for this. Come on, This is your test sheet and the admission card for the Magic Branch, work hard, I hope you can pass the exam."

After the old man encouraged him with kindness and kindness, he handed over a long strip and a purple circular sign with 3899 written on it. Seeing this, Cellulu could only hold it in a depressing way. Anyway, at least, the first level didn't work. brushed down.

When going out, Cellulu saw that her uncle and the knight were already waiting outside. When they saw her, they both looked over, and the knight asked anxiously.

"How is the result?"

Although Jin wanted to ask, but seeing her face was not good, he couldn't ask, and he was afraid of hitting her. Thinking of the life and death tests to test physical fitness, he cared about the authentic.

"Lulu, are you okay? Do you want to take a break?"

Seeing that Jin seemed to have misunderstood, Cellulu quickly took out her own test sheet.

"I'm fine, the test teacher said I'm eligible to apply for the Magic Branch."

"It's good to pass."

This time, Jin Cai was relieved, and reached out to take the test sheet. The bright red low score on it looked a little shocking, but it was impossible for his niece, a sports idiot.

"Hehe, Lulu, your physical strength is very poor." The knight looked at him and laughed out loud. "Isn't it all dead?"

She was embarrassed to be embarrassed face to face, and immediately changed the subject.

"Don't talk about me, what about the uncle and the knights? How about you?"

"I'm going to the martial arts branch, my magic talent is not enough to enter the magic branch." Jin Xiaoxiao took out his test sheet, and Cellulu took it. , Compared with her, Kim is a decathlon superman.

Except for the magical talent column, which says that it does not meet the requirements, all other items of Jin are full of 10 points.

"This also makes people live, uncle, you don't have to be so talented, don't bring such a blow to people!"

Jin is very innocent, he can't do anything about this kind of talent problem, but as long as it can make Lulu feel more comfortable, he is willing to bear any sour grievances, so Jin cooperated and put on a picture of 'I'm sorry, God didn't To be fair, I'm with you in condemning the indignant' look, wisely not answering.

Cellulo rubbed the test sheet inwardly, looking at the knight with an extremely unbalanced mentality. He must not be so talented.

"Knight, how about you?"

"Hee hee, I'm going to disappoint you." The knight laughed and took out his test sheet.

Celluloid unfolded it and saw that the magic talent is qualified, Reflex 9, Strength 7, Endurance 7, Explosion 7, Balance 8, Agility 7, Flexibility 8, Observation 10, Aim 9, Control 10. Mental stress resistance 9. The conclusion is that it is suitable for dual cultivation of magic and martial arts. The specific decision will be made after further testing.

Cellulo was really speechless, and the hand holding the piece of paper was shaking.

"Actually both magic and martial arts will do? It's too much, why are they all so talented!"

The knight smiled complacently, with a smug look.

"By the way, Lulu, the next exam will be held in two branches at the same time. I can't accompany you to the exam. Can you do it alone?"

Thinking of one thing, Jin asked worriedly.

"Uncle, of course it's fine, you underestimate me too." Cellulu hurriedly assured that although she was a little uneasy, her uncle's presence by her side couldn't actually change anything.

The knight interjected: "I'm going to take the magic branch too, so let's go with you."

"Huh, really? But•••" Cellulu's eyes lit up, she was just happy for a while, but she became a little confused when she remembered the schedule.

"The exam for those who are suitable for both magic and martial arts is divided into two days. I will go to the martial arts branch tomorrow."

The knight hurriedly explained that the only thing he didn't say was that which one to take the test first depends on the candidate's own wishes.

The three of them walked out of the auditorium, and under the guidance of the staff, entered a marble building at the back. This is the setting point of the space teleportation array, leading to the various departments of the academy.

In the hall, Jin and Cellulu set a meeting place after the exam. Cellullu greeted him and left with the knight. Kim watched the two of them walk while chatting, talking and laughing. It seemed that the conversation was very speculative, and it was impossible to see that the two had only known each other for a long time, and Jin suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Will Lulu feel that•••, no, probably not•••

Thinking in a mess, Jin also walked towards the room where the teleportation array leading to the martial arts branch was located.
