64. Confused
Elliot still looked the same way. After entering through the gate, he opened his hands and rushed towards Adam, shouting: "My friend, I knew you wouldn't die!"
Adam hugged him, and then Elliot said, "Okay, don't stay here today, follow me to enjoy the real college life. James, you guys are together, too, too withdrawn, don't you help progress, and you should enjoy life occasionally, don't you?"
Adam couldn't resist his enthusiasm and did not want to wiping the kindness of the first friend who came back, so he left the laboratory with him.
Adam's life is really boring.
In the first year, everyone had to deal with the trial and assessment nervously. Apart from the self-deprecating apprentice, no one had time to enjoy life. As soon as they passed the assessment, Adam fell into a coma. At this time, the apprentices who passed the assessment entered a calm college life. In addition to having to carry out tasks once a year, if there were no emergency events such as the Academy War, they could even live in the college until they died.
So they were surprised to find that there were so many interesting places in the academy.
For example, a battle hall provided for apprentices with complete protection, where apprentices can fight without reservation without worrying about life-threatening danger. For example, driving experience halls, knight experience halls, and even red light areas exist.
There are various races and identities that provide services in entertainment venues. As long as you pay enough energy stones, you can get a perfect enjoyment.
Elliott was going to take a few people to a private bar dedicated to powerful apprentices. This bar is the property of the college. No one dared to make trouble there, and all apprentices who are qualified to enter will be envied by the rest.
"How to judge whether an apprentice is eligible to enter?" William asked curiously after hearing Elliot's introduction.
Elliot smiled mysteriously without answering, but took them forward until he walked to a gate standing in the open space. He pointed to the gate and said, "It's very simple. Anyone can try it. As long as you can walk in, you will be qualified."
James and Frank were a little eager to try. They both knew the existence of this bar, but in the past they were not qualified to enter, and they didn't know if they have made progress now.
"I'll do it first." Frank stepped forward and pushed open the black door. Adam found that there seemed to be a rune barrier in the door. Frank stepped forward nervously, and saw a light film split in the rune barrier to wrap Frank. Frank frowned tightly. After three minutes, the light film dimmed and Frank disappeared from the spot.
James stood up the second time and walked to the door with nervousness. He took more time than Frank. It took nearly five minutes before James successfully entered the bar.
Elliot said: "I didn't expect that they made such a big progress in a year. They didn't have the qualifications to enter the apprentice bar before."
William asked, kicked, "Mr. Elliott, what is the right to enter?"
"It's very simple. The rune barrier will divide a set of runes as keys. As long as it is successfully built within five minutes, you will be qualified to open the first door. Then, as long as the apprentice determines his own path, you can pass the second door."
William felt relieved. It was not just about evaluating the total amount of mental power. In the laboratory, although he was not as good as two senior apprentices in terms of total mental power, his learning speed was not bad. He believed that he could do it just by requiring construction speed.
So he walked forward with confidence, and sure enough, he successfully walked into the bar in just two minutes.
William found that the Apprentice Bar was a very dreamy place. The space here was not up, down, left and right, and seemed to be an independent and suspended fantasy world. The stars in the sky were shining brightly, and countless runes kept flashing like neon lights. The soothing music caused ripples in everyone's heart. The long-term mental fatigue seemed to be wiped out.
There were not many people in the bar. James and Frank seemed to have found an acquaintance and sat on the other side. When he turned around, he actually saw Corristal sitting alone in a bar chair and tasting red wine. She was wearing a simple blue robe. Her face was far from beautiful, but her temperament was unignorable.
After seeing William, Corriestel raised his glass, invited William to sit over, and said, "Congratulations on joining the apprentice bar."
William smiled apologetically at James and Frank, and then an alchemy puppet came over and placed a wine list in front of William.
William, who was born in a noble family, is not unfamiliar with such things. Although it was his first time, he was still familiar with ordering drinks. After paying a lot of energy stones, he said to Corriester: "So you..."
Corriester raised a finger and placed it beside his mouth, signaling William not to speak, and then pointed to a light curtain in front of him.
William looked towards the light curtain and found that what was playing above was actually the scene in front of the door. At this time, Adam was walking towards the door.
William was not worried about Adam at all. He could pass the assessment, so it would definitely not be difficult for Adam.
......
"I'll go in first, go find me below, and I'll treat you today." After Eliot said that, he walked straight into the bar. Like William, he didn't think Adam would be unable to pass this door.
Elliott is probably the most popular person in the academy. Although the smell of the potion makes people feel unnatural, it does not affect his popularity.
After entering the bar, he naturally walked to a group of apprentices, and after inviting James and Frank over, he ordered a lot of wine, picked up the wine glass and looked at the light curtain.
"That's Adam? I haven't seen him for a long time. I heard that he was attacked by an enemy mage of the formal level?" An acquaintance who used to be in the library asked Elliot.
"Well, that's right, but my friend resisted the magic and survived." Elliot raised his glass, "Let's cheers for him."
Everyone was talking to each other, not really happy for Adam, but just finding a reason to drink.
"I didn't expect you two guys to come here too. It seems that Adam's research results are really good?" A senior apprentice raised his cup to James and Frank and asked teasingly.
The two of them were not angry either. After all, this was the fact, and the person who asked was not necessarily malice. They drank the wine in the glass with a smile.
"Hey, Elliott, Adam seems to be in some trouble."
......
Adam was indeed in trouble and the apprentice bar refused to enter.
The first test was not difficult. Although the runes that constituted the key were a bit complicated, it was not difficult for Adam to be at all. Adam just glanced and accurately constructed them, but the second test blocked Adam.
The second test is to ask the apprentice what knowledge to study to advance to a formal mage. This is not a problem for other apprentices with the "key". When their mental power and learning ability reach a certain level, they will determine this matter as soon as possible, and most of them are related to their soul affinity.
But for Adam, what is his own path?
Mind power? This has long been abandoned by Adam. Mind power is destined to be used as an auxiliary means in Adam's hands.
Elemental Magic? But now, Adam did not show any elemental affinity.
Adam never put any effort into those knowledge on the other roads.
It was not until now that Adam realized that he had been working behind closed doors and didn't even know what kind of car he wanted to build.
While Adam was thinking silently, Elliot and others in the bar looked at each other, another group of people came to Adam.
"Brother Koval, is this a legendary bar that only genius apprentices can enter?" said a sweet female voice.
"That's right, the apprentice bar, a gathering place for geniuses. I heard that no one from us and the previous batch of apprentices have been qualified to enter. If Brother Korver succeeds today, it will definitely cause a sensation." A male voice said in a compliment.
"Is that true? Brother Kovol is sure to do it!" Another female voice was unwilling to be stolen by the former, and then said.
The voices got closer and closer, and finally walked behind Adam. The stupidest fool had long been eliminated. Those who could survive until now would not make the low-level mistakes of looking down on others. They whispered and waited for the final result of Adam's assessment.
The apprentice named Korver is a handsome boy. He found that he had never seen Adam before, but it seemed that he did not seem to pass the assessment.
Sure enough, Adam was popped up by the rune barrier.
He stood aside and thought for a moment, then pushed open the door again.
After three rounds, the sweet female voice finally couldn't help it. She walked forward and said to Adam: "If you can't pass, can you make it first and don't waste everyone's time."
Adam frowned and made way for a while to continue thinking. He was not a completely unreasonable person, and he knew that he really couldn't pass the assessment now.
Korver walked up to the front and first said to the woman: "Sally, don't talk like this." Then he said to Adam: "Sorry, my companion is a little rude, please don't care."
Adam suddenly raised his head, not knowing whether to ask or to say to himself: "What is his own path?"
Unexpectedly, Korver actually answered: "Everyone is different from the road. If the soul is shown, it is enough to study it. If not, you need to work harder and more experiments. This kind of thing will not be helpful to others."
Adam nodded to him and walked forward.
Elliot and others in the bar saw this scene. They knew Adam's character well and were afraid that Adam would kill people in this place where fighting was forbidden, so they hurried out of the bar.
