Chapter 21: Enrollment Test with Era Characteristics

Xia De nodded and noted down the doctor's words about Luo De card identification.

But in fact, he didn't look forward to the card in his hand being genuine. Although from the performance of the former detective before his death, the other party was definitely a fanatical Luo De card enthusiast, after all, he was just an ordinary person, his income could barely be considered middle-class, and it was impossible to possess such precious things.

As for the museum introduced by the detective before his death, it was probably a black market for forged Luo De cards, so Xia De thought that when he had time, he would go to the Prophet Association for identification first, and then go to the museum after being completely at ease.

After confirming that he would borrow money from the group and solve the tuition problem, the enrollment process officially began.

Xia De thought the Academy would send someone over, but all the processes were handled by the doctor:

"Remember, we are correspondence Ringed Shushi. St. Byrons Comprehensive Academy and us actually don't have any special emotional connection, only responsibilities and obligations, do you understand? As for helping you, that's because I need a fifth Ringed Shushi in the group, and introducing a new Ringed Shushi to enroll will give the Academy rewards. It's not because I am a kind person."

The doctor looked at Xia De seriously, and the writer lady thought that Xia De would be able to deeply realize this point in a few weeks.

The two formal Ringed Shushi had to notify the Academy that there was a new correspondence Ringed Shushi to enroll, and the way to contact St. Byrons Comprehensive Academy was the measure of the Poet-level 【Relic】, 【Poet Cohen's Manuscript】.

Poet Cohen was also a student of St. Byrons Comprehensive Academy, but that was a matter of the last era. Although the Fifth Era only had female spellcasters, the Academy also recruited a small number of male students for certain research that did not require supernatural power.

The number of pages in his relic manuscript exceeded three digits, and each page could transmit information and small items to the manuscript cover.

This was the main way for St. Byrons Comprehensive Academy to communicate with correspondence Ringed Shushi, as well as for textbook distribution and homework submission. Among them, the manuscript page of Dr. Shi Nai De's group was kept by the doctor in the highest grade in the group.

That was a parchment scroll, but the area was quite large, similar to an unfolded book. Now there was no word on it, it looked very old, and one could even see the thread ends shaking on the paper page.

"First is your basic information, as well as tuition."

The doctor asked Xia De to use a blue fountain pen to simply write information such as address, age, occupation, past experience, etc., on a piece of letter paper, and then put the envelope containing a stack of banknotes on the manuscript page.

As the light flashed, the envelope containing gold pounds and the paper with information disappeared.

After tens of seconds, a receipt emerged from the manuscript page. On the receipt, the payment amount was written in two languages, the common Draerion language and the Karsenrik language of the Old Continent, and there was even the official seal of the Academy.

"Really professional."

The receipt was temporarily kept by the doctor, and Xia De would take it back after paying back the money.

"Then it's the trust test. The Academy needs to test the enrolled correspondence Ringed Shushi to see if they are evil cultists or people with ulterior motives who have hidden their past. The Academy also has its own secrets and cannot let outsiders know easily."

The doctor said easily.

"How to test this?"

Xia De was a bit worried. He didn't need to worry about the past of the original owner's brain not being easy to use, but he was worried about his identity as a traveler.

Hearing Xia De's question, the doctor hadn't spoken yet, but Miss Dorothy Louisa answered first, with a smile on her face:

"How nostalgic, this is already a standard process—please write an article of no less than eight hundred words about your thoughts on good and evil, order and chaos."

"Hmm?"

Xia De thought he heard it wrong.

"This step is also to determine whether the enrollee is literate. The Academy does not accept illiterate students. Xia De, I know you are not very literate, so you can write simply."

The doctor said kindly.

"But why is it writing an article? I thought it was a lie-detector type of Q&A."

Just writing an article made Xia De breathe a sigh of relief. What he was afraid of was a lie-detector type of Q&A. Once asked about the "past," he would probably encounter big trouble.

"Lie detection is ultimately a way to cheat, but an article reflects a person's continuous thoughts and reflects their attitude and their own nature that they don't even know. This is more reliable and also has the characteristics of the era."

"Oh, Detective, now is not the era of chaos. In the era of civilization and steam, the enrollment test should of course be more civilized."

The writer lady leaned on the sofa slightly relaxed, and she enjoyed watching others being forced to write articles.

So Xia De was forced to conduct an eight-hundred-word "enrollment essay test." He could understand and read, but speaking and writing both relied on the knowledge given by the voice in his brain, so it was still very difficult. But this also made Dr. Shi Nai De, who was watching this scene, confirm that his investigation about the original owner Xia De was no problem.

Good and evil, order and chaos, was a relatively large proposition. Eight hundred words looked like a lot, but if you really wrote it seriously, you might not even be able to finish the beginning.

Xia De, based on the principle of writing less and making fewer mistakes, divided this enrollment small test into four paragraphs. The first paragraph said some nice things, the second paragraph wrote about good and evil, the third paragraph wrote about order and chaos, and the fourth paragraph summarized.

In this way, the train of thought became smooth, and Xia De was very good at writing in this way.

While Xia De was writing the enrollment small test, the doctor was not idle either.

The standard enrollment process of St. Byrons also included letting the Ringed Shushi of the group lead the talented individual to solve a mysterious-related incident to judge whether the talented individual's personality was suitable to become a Ringed Shushi.

The one who recovered the 【Life Countdown Pocket Watch】 in the morning could count, but a report also needed to be submitted to explain the performance of the talented individual.

So Xia De wrote a small essay, the doctor had to write a report, and the latter might be more troublesome. But Miss Louisa was quite happy because only she didn't need to write anything.

While the two men were bowing their heads and writing, she sat there holding a teacup and watching them, with an indescribable comfortable expression.

The small essay and the report were sent away by the manuscript at the same time. After a full half hour, an enrollment notice with Xia De's full name was sent. The enrollment assessment was "Excellent." During this period, the three had been talking, popularizing some basic knowledge to Xia De.

"Actually, the enrollment assessment only has excellent and unqualified, not like the academic year assessment and year-end summary, which are divided into excellent, exceeds expectations, pass, fail, and terrible."

The doctor also said in a low voice.

"This is the Academy's little trick to gain your favor."

The blonde writer also added this.

Xia De felt funny about this, but also realized that the Academy was indeed very formal and not some small organization.

"Then the next step, I will help you officially take office as a Ringed Shushi and push open the door of the supernatural. Only after you obtain the core rune can you determine the professional academy you join. As for textbooks and learning materials, they will be sent in three days; after all, the Academy also needs to prepare these things." ===== CHAPTER 22 =====
