Although the Hitman Walker had made a slip of the tongue out of habit, causing the situation to become a little awkward, it was not a big deal. The question was very appropriate, and the Hitman Walker was very serious about his duties as an examiner.
Asking an ordinary student to wield two two-handed weapons and have to wield them like the Hitman Walker did was quite an exaggeration, as if it required a lot of strength. Quite a few of the students looked troubled and shook their heads inwardly. However, there were still quite a few students who smiled confidently and put on a look of eagerness.
In truth, the question was not difficult at all. The Hitman Walker did not forbid the students from using combat chi, so it was not difficult for them to perform such a maneuver after infusing combat chi into both hands to increase their strength. This was basically a basic skill for a warrior. However, infusing combat chi into both hands at the same time, maintaining it for a period of time, and successfully wielding it was a test of the student's coordination and control of combat chi. Generally speaking, it was a very basic question.
Baiyi's students were those who had a certain foundation or were very talented. He was not interested in ordinary students who had neither strength nor talent. After all, an average person would need at least one to five years to go from a beginner's level to a beginner's level, be it combat chi or magic. Furthermore, the total time spent in Da Xue was only four years. How could anyone possibly have that much time to start from scratch?
As the name suggested, Da Xue was a place of higher education, and its goal was to nurture the best of the best. Students without any foundation were not suitable for Da Xue. Therefore, the purpose of this recruitment test was to test the students' foundations. Baiyi had to select the best students with a solid foundation, and the test questions had to be set accordingly. The Hitman Walker's question was a good example. It was slightly more difficult than a normal beginner's question, but it was still within the basic category. It tested the students' control of combat chi, and it also allowed the examiner to observe the students' athletic and coordination abilities.
Among the students taking the exam this time, a significant portion of them came from various aristocratic families. These students were usually educated and trained from a young age, and their control of combat chi was already quite good. Naturally, they were able to complete the questions without any pressure. There were quite a number of students who managed to complete the first question. Of course, they were not as imposing as the Hitman Walker when it came to brandishing their weapons. Still, it was enough for the Hitman Walker to nod and ask Mr. Sorry, who was standing beside him, to record down the students' serial numbers.
According to Baiyi's plan, every faculty would have five questions in the exam. The first three questions would test the student's foundation so they were not too difficult. Candidates who managed to score three points would be able to enroll in the university. The fourth question would be much more difficult as it was a test of the student's innate talent. Candidates who managed to score four points would be given special attention. As for the fifth question, it was not something that just anyone could complete. Candidates who managed to score all five points would win the right to enroll in the university free of charge.
After the first question, two or three students who failed to complete it raised their hands and gave up. They were all from ordinary families, and they were here for the free spots. Since they could not meet the requirements, and since they could not afford to pay the exorbitant fees, there was no point in wasting their time.
Baiyi did not have much to say. The registration fee was only one silver coin, and the school was open to students from all walks of life, so it was not a big deal for people to try their luck.
The exam continued, and Baiyi did not look at the Hitman Walker anymore. Instead, he turned his attention to another key faculty, the Faculty of Sorcery. The Scholar Walker, who was in charge of the exam, was dressed in an exquisitely crafted sorcerer's armor. Both the Scholar Walker's and the Hitman Walker's armor were specially prepared by Baiyi for the Walkers who were about to descend into the Void to become teachers. This was to ensure that everyone had their own set of armor, so that no one would be confused with the others.
The Scholar Walker had already moved on to the second question. She used her mana to conjure a rune and a formation in the air. She told the students that the two runes had the same effect. She demonstrated the runes four more times, for a total of five times. Finally, she drew a formation and asked the students to translate the function and effect of the formation using the same runes. Then, they had to hand in the enchantment parchment that they had drawn in their hands.
It was still the same basic question. It tested the students' basic understanding of runes, as well as their observation skills and memory. These were very important skills for a sorcerer, and the Scholar Walker's question was not bad at all.
Baiyi was no longer worried when it came to the Scholar Walker's exam. Next, he focused his attention on the two most unreliable faculties — the Faculty of Theology and the Faculty of Alchemy.
The Cleric Walker and the Alchemist Walker were in charge of the exams for these two faculties. If these two were to let loose and show off their shamelessness, the average student would not be able to handle them.
"I've changed two of the syllables of the hymn I chanted, so the effect of the hymn will be slightly different. Write down the parts you've changed and the effect of the replacement on a piece of paper," the Cleric Walker said. "That's right," the Cleric Walker said.
'Huh? It's surprisingly normal? ' 'This is the most normal exam for the Faculty of Theology. Looks like the Cleric Walker is taking this seriously.' However, even though it was a simple exam, many students were scratching their heads in frustration.
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be too many people signing up for the theology department in a college like this, because those who truly pursued this field would join the Church. But the reality was that the Preachers had the most people in all of the examination rooms, and there were quite a few of them dressed in gaudy clothes. They looked like they were foppish.
It was easy to tell why these people were there. They were probably thinking that it would be easy for them to sneak into the Faculty of Theology, and then they would be able to hunt down the angelic beauties in the promotional videos.
Unfortunately, Baiyi University adhered to the principle of 'better to have nothing than to have something shoddy', so the only way to get in was by paying the registration fee. The Cleric Walker might be a gentleman, but he was also a gentleman of high standards and sentiments. What kind of perverts could get past him? No way!
With that, Baiyi turned his attention back to the Alchemist Walker, who was in the midst of a battle with the Sorcerer Walker.
The Alchemist Walker was already at the third question, and he was showing the candidates three bottles of red, yellow, and blue reagents. "You can look, smell, and shake them. If you're not afraid of death, you can even taste them with your tongue. Anyway, I want you to find out which of these three bottles of reagents has the closest effect to a healing potion."
This was the last question of the basic exam, after all, and it was quite difficult for beginner-level apprentice alchemists. The Alchemist Walker's personality dictated that there would be a lot of distractions in the question, and the correct answer would not be as simple as A, B, and C. It might even be a multiple choice question, or it might not have a correct answer at all. Unless someone could understand the hints in the Alchemist Walker's question, look, smell, and taste, and figure out that it might not be a single choice question, they would be able to come up with the correct answer.
As the last question of the basic exam, it was only natural that it would be difficult. Baiyi was worried that the alchemist would ask him to create a potion that would cause him to explode into the sky on the spot. However, judging from the current situation, the alchemist seemed to be quite normal.
Just as he was thinking about that, one of the candidates who took the risk of tasting the reagent fell to the ground with a thud.
That scared Baiyi out of his wits. Then, he heard the Alchemist Walker say to the panicking students, "It's alright. He's just asleep. There's no danger to his life."
The students quickly looked at the candidate, and sure enough, he had fallen asleep. In just a blink of an eye, he was already snoring.
"He forgot the rule of the alchemist Walker. Don't drink too much! He drank half of these two bottles in one gulp … "The Alchemist Walker said regretfully. Shrugging, he took out two new bottles of reagent from his robe and replaced the one that was half empty.
With the sacrifice of the brute, who was brave enough to try the method, a few of the students who were quite perceptive were instantly enlightened. The only thing that could make a person fall asleep so quickly and so deeply was a powerful sleeping potion that was used to cure insomnia. The composition of the potion was similar to healing potions. If the effect of the two and a half bottles that the brute drank was equivalent to that of a powerful sleeping potion, then the answer was easy to come up with.
It was because of the brute's heroic feat that the difficulty of the fourth question was reduced by a lot. It was almost at the same level as the third question of the other faculties. Could this be one of the Alchemist Walker's plans?
Well, I'll be in charge of teaching the last few students anyway. It's not a big deal to let them get used to this guy's style in advance, Baiyi thought.
At this point in the entrance exam, the three basic questions were almost over. Now, it was time for the fourth question, which had suddenly increased in difficulty.
Let's take a look at the Hitman first. He stood in front of a weapon rack that was filled with all kinds of weapons and said to the students, "Form groups of five. Pick the weapon that suits you best and attack me together. I'll judge whether you pass or not based on your performance."
A student raised his hand and asked, "Sir, swords have no eyes. Aren't you afraid of getting hurt if five people attack you at the same time?"
