Chapter 77 : Entrance Exam
Although Lonis desperately longed for Elucia's arrival.
But just the next second, this silver-haired girl was dumbfounded...
"What are you screaming about? I'm right here, aren't I?"
"Eh?!"
Lonis was stunned, only then realizing that the person controlling her was actually Elucia!
It's just that compared to her usual black dress attire, this girl had now changed into a brand new school uniform... A navy blue round-collar blazer, a pleated skirt with white lace trim—no matter how you looked at it, this black-haired girl appeared youthful and beautiful, extremely pretty.
"Ah... Elucia?"
"Lonis, what the hell are you screaming about? Hurry up and put these things on."
"Huh?"
Lonis's eyes widened as she saw on the green grass a brand new school uniform dress laid out... Its style was identical to what Elucia was wearing, except it was cream white in color, and the stripes on the pleated skirt had changed to light brown.
And what had just covered her mouth and nose wasn't some "kidnapping cloth" at all, but white over-knee socks.
"These... these are..."
"Your exam clothes."
"Ah, do I have to change here?"
"Of course. Clear Academy's exams are very strict. The clothes you and I are wearing are magical devices, so wearing them inside would definitely count as cheating."
"Oh..."
Hearing that she could finally take off this little dress, Lonis felt extremely relieved. After all, nobody would want to be restricted inside one outfit like a dress-up doll, right?
But when preparing to put on the school uniform, the silver-haired girl discovered things weren't like that at all...
"E-Elucia, the size is a bit tight..."
She put on the shirt, but the buttons at the chest wouldn't close properly.
And though her previous dress came with little toys, Lonis had already adapted to it and felt an instinctive sense of security. Now with her skin exposed to the forest air, Lonis felt her cheeks burning red.
Putting on the school uniform skirt also made Lonis feel very out of place, like she was secretly wearing a female classmate's clothes.
......
But looking at the blushing girl, Elucia just said disdainfully:
"Hmph, the size being small is normal. Because there wasn't enough stock, I already took the larger one."
"Eh?"
"Do you have any complaints?!"
"No!"
Looking at Elucia's proudly puffed chest, Lonis quickly shook her head... She could only press hard and then button it up.
Click, zip~
With the sound of the zipper closing, this school uniform was finally worn.
Well, though initially the chest area was slightly crowded, after it was properly worn, there was no discomfort.
Chest out, stomach in—as long as she maintained a girl's posture, it was quite fitting.
......
"Not bad? You masochistic maid, after changing into the school uniform, you actually look somewhat decent."
"Uh..."
"However, don't think that just because you took off those clothes, you can escape my control. You can try running away, or even seeking help from teachers, and see what your fate will be."
"!"
Lonis's face flushed red. She knew Elucia was teasing her.
Because if she had been using violence to torment her all along that would be one thing, but every time, Elucia would give a beating then offer candy. Making her completely unable to generate "true resistance" against her.
So this time, Lonis could only obediently ask:
"I-I understand... I won't run away. Should I just go take the exam directly?"
"Mm, the admission tickets are already prepared. I don't need to tell you about exam discipline, right?"
"Mm..."
"After the exam, gather at the third waiting room. Don't run around."
The exam venue was truly very strict.
Just the security check for entry had three stages, layer upon layer. Lonis didn't know what those instruments were testing, just cooperated as much as possible with the security personnel's commands.
And the way to enter the exam hall wasn't by walking in, but being directly teleported to the exam corridor through a teleportation circle, eliminating any possibility of cheating.
......
(Wow, there are quite a lot of people taking the exam...)
There were many people in the corridor, and besides students of "similar age" to Lonis, you could also see many middle-aged people.
Everyone was walking into their respective exam rooms in an orderly fashion...
Twenty people per exam room, and although Lonis and Elucia had similar exam content, they weren't assigned to the same exam room.
......
The room was quite normal, very much like a traditional classroom.
There were no cameras here, only an examiner in a suit standing at the front, sharply scanning each examinee's face with keen eyes.
"Please answer honestly, examinees. For violators, we will not only cancel exam qualifications but also pursue accountability."
......
......
Each person's test paper was individual, wrapped in hard paper, and you could only see the contents after opening it.
All these complex procedures made Lonis feel somewhat nervous... but after opening the test paper, her heart relaxed.
Because she had already reviewed all these test questions, and for some very obscure and difficult questions, Lonis had also used "physical cost" to firmly memorize them in her mind.
The exam process went very smoothly~
It's just that because she was wearing a new school uniform, Lonis always felt chilly under her skirt, with no sense of security at her thighs.
The chest area was also slightly heavy, and when she wanted to lower her head to write, it was easy to bump into the desk.
But fortunately, the exam method was no different from what Lonis remembered—using a fountain pen to write, so the silver-haired girl was quite comfortable.
......
......
However, the second major subject, the Basic Magic exam, almost made Lonis want to bang her head on the desk.
She did know that Blue Cells were the foundation of magic, and that as long as Blue Cells reached 1% of the maximum theoretical value, one could be called a magician.
But what about the secondary metabolic pathways of Blue Cells?
The linear function relationship calculations between magic power and time?
The relationship between magic trajectories and Hulunbuir expansion?
These things Lonis knew nothing about. She could only write some easy questions, pretend to understand and write some seemingly plausible answers and formulas, trying as much as possible not to make her test paper look so blank and embarrassing.
......
Finally, Lonis came out of the exam room with a drooping face, looking like she had endured an ordeal.
She knew her magic foundation was terrible. Now, Lonis could only pray that because the magic foundation score didn't weigh very heavily, she could successfully pass the written exam.
If she couldn't pass the written exam, she would definitely be severely punished by Elucia!
......
......
And because Elucia had to take three additional subjects, she didn't come out until evening... Compared to the anxious silver-haired girl, this beautiful girl in school uniform seemed quite at ease.
When she walked out slowly, she even smoothed her flowing long hair.
"M-Master Elucia?"
"Oh? Lonis, you look... very guilty."
"Uh!"
"Don't tell me that after finishing the exam, you discovered you got questions wrong that you should have gotten right."
Elucia coldly glanced at Lonis and said fiercely: "You didn't really get them wrong, did you? Lonis, even without the remote control, I still have ways to punish you... Want to try?"
"No, that! The ones I could do, I should have gotten them all right?!"
"Hmph... that's what you said. If you don't pass, you just wait to be locked in a cage~~ Keeping a slave maid as a toy sounds really interesting!"
"Wuu wuu wuu!"
Like this, the written exam ended smoothly.
But Lonis didn't know...
Her and Elucia's test papers had brought tremendous shock to the teachers grading them...
