Chapter 123: The Sixth Student [I]
They listened to Oberon as he continued: "You don't have to be so surprised, in fact, adding another member is also a last resort. In the history of the academy competition, each team has been limited to six people at the least. One person is one more strength, so each team will be made up of six students."
Oscar and Lester nodded when they heard this. Since the five members of the branch have all settled in the Mystic Keep, the participating teams must be teamed up to compete in the general selection.
But five students were obviously below the requirements, so adding a team member was also necessary.
Lester asked, "Then, branch master, do you know who this sixth person is?"
Oberon shook his head and said: "It's up to you to find it out yourself. The whole academy is divided into nine departments, and each department selects four strong people to settle in the Mystic Keep. The first purpose is to make you work hard here. Harnessing ether and quickly improve your own powerbases. Another point is that you can get to know other students here and form a group of six freely with them so that you can be able to participate in the general selection in a few days. "
Oberon and the two of Oscar and Lester walked slowly towards the training area again. Oberon said as he walked: "There are nine departments in the whole school, and a total of thirty six students have the opportunity to enter the Mystic Keep, so they can form 6 groups of participating teams, but this time, because of the addition of Oscar, I am afraid there will be one student who won't get the chance to be selected for the team, but can still get the opportunity to harness in the Mystic Keep until his or her graduation."
Hearing this, Lester tapped Oscar, both of them tacitly understood and both smiled and said nothing.
Oberon paused and continued: "Tomorrow, the top four of the light magic will also enter the Mystic Keep, so you don't have to worry about choosing people today. The top four of the light system are not selected through competition, but the examiner will make a comprehensive evaluation based on the powerbases and essence level of each light student, and finally select four light students who are most suitable for assisting each team."
"However, because you have Oscar, who is a light mage, in your midst, you can decide whether to have a light mage or not. Everything depends on fate. Whoever has fate with you can join your group."
The three of them chatted and returned to the place of gathering ether. Seeing that everyone was harnessing and refining ether diligently, the three of them also chose a position, sat cross-legged, and began to practice.
Lester had consumed too much essence before, so before practicing refinement, he ate a magic worm, which would help the rapid recovery of essence and mental power.
This was the effect that Oscar and the others found out by themselves in the Immortal Cave, and it could be regarded as another effect of the magic worm. It was just that the recovery time was relatively long, about an hour or so.
In this case, this method couldn't be used when confronting the enemy. Otherwise, it would be a real disaster.
The eater could not only get the supplement of essence, but also had to allocate a part of the mental power to guide the essence of the magic worm to absorb, otherwise the essence of the magic worm would become scrambled in the abdomen, and it would cause some damage.
An hour later, some people on the platform began to gradually withdraw their mental power and leave.
Because it was almost noon when the three of them came in, it was already afternoon. So some cultivators left one after another and went to the cafeteria to eat or do some errands.
And these people who got up included Zachar who had been looking plummer these days. If nothing else, just eating here would ruin Zachar.
Because Mystic Keep was only qualified for the students with the best grades in the entire academy, the academy is very considerate in serving these students. Also very attentive.
The chefs of the cafeteria in the Mystic Keep were all specially recruited, and the ingredients used were also treasures in the food system.
They were also full of some top-quality plants that could only take a hundred years to grow into a plant, and there were many refined meat from the magical beasts.
Therefore, each meal was not only full of flavors and fragrances, but also had the effect of strengthening the student's powerbase and improving his essence value. Especially the key point was that these foods were provided to everyone for free.
This time, Zachar was amused. How could they improve the food? What kind of meat buns from the old shop of the Old Lake family? Not in the same league as the food here.
So these days, Zachar had not been shy to eat every meal, and every time he ate, the full ditch would become flat. So his body shape was like blowing a balloon which was swished up, and his nickname, fat boy, was getting more and more compatible with him.
After Zachar finished practicing, he stood up and saw three more familiar faces outside the circle.
Oberon, Oscar, and Lester sitting cross-legged on the outside of the circle and practicing.
Zachar was instantly happy. After counting the time, today should be the last day of the transformation competition. It seemed that Oscar and Lester should had qualified together.
He didn't feel anything strange about why Oberon was able to enter the Mystic Keep. After all, the relationship between Oberon and the school master was not a secret in the branch.
Whether it was possible for him to enter the Mystic Keep or not, it was not a big matter for the school master.
