Randomly placing a few illusion runes at the nodes of the corridor, Anvis looked at this familiar scene with a rare sigh in his heart.
There is a new batch of talented students coming soon, and in the not too distant future, they will all become the pillars of the empire.
Perhaps because of the impending changes sweeping the continent, the web of destiny has already produced signs in advance, causing people with destiny to descend on this era in a concentrated manner.
In troubled times heroes emerge——
In the next few decades, there will be a figure whose name is so dazzling that it can be recorded in history.
On them, the national destiny of the entire Gloria Empire is maintained.
While sighing, Avis skillfully connected some special magic circuits between several illusion runes to form a more complex and sophisticated whole.
As a senior, he has the obligation to add some hardships to their life path.
If you don't go through hardships, how can you know that you are not the one?
"Anvis, the trap we have set needs to be cracked with second-level means or below."
Looking helplessly at the five-layer rune chain arranged by Anvis, Claire on the side reminded him.
"Is it difficult?"
Anvis glanced at the trap he had set.
The degree of difficulty increase is roughly equivalent to changing from defusing one bomb to defusing five bombs connected at the same time.
But if you can enter Pamir Academy, is it not a basic operation to be distracted and use five things?
Or wouldn't it be better to just use props to be immune to illusions?
After thinking about it, Avis erased two of them and changed the structure to make it a three-overlapping rune trap.
The specific effect...it allows the victim to see what he desires.
"This should be fine. I believe it can pass the instructors' test."
After the adjustment, the comprehensive score of this trap dropped from the peak of the first level to about the high level of the first level.
"That's...okay."
Shaking her head, Claire couldn't help but sweat for this year's new students.
The two of them are mainly responsible for setting traps on the road leading to the top of the main tower, and the passages leading to major branch locations along the way are more difficult additional options, and the senior seniors are responsible for setting traps.
Originally, Claire's strength had broken through the fourth level and she should have gone to the senior class.
But after returning to the academy, Anvis found that her strength had also returned to the middle of the third stage.
Moreover, the strange sense of absence on the island became invisible again and became very ordinary in perception.
Like him, Claire is in a very special state of disguise.
"Hey, don't worry, I guess this must be your first time trying to set up a trap here, right?"
At this time, a blue-haired girl heard the two chatting, and after setting up the trap at hand, she came over.
She is Milia, a third-level senior student of the mystic school. She is a rare student with a non-aristocratic background. She has been enrolled in school for three years.
"Just try your best, as long as the trap does not exceed the first level. The trap set can trap the freshman for the longest time. Although it is not as rewarding as passing the welcome ceremony, it has hidden benefits!"
"Besides, the speed at which freshmen pass the welcome ceremony will be recorded in the file! If you let go, wouldn't it be very unfair to the former freshmen?"
Because of her cheerful and familiar personality, which is very different from other mages, Milia has a good relationship with most of the students in the class.
“Hidden benefits?”
Claire couldn't help but be a little surprised when she suddenly learned the news.
"Yes!"
Miliya nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"You have heard of the 'association' in Pamir Academy, right?"
"You mean, the Ruins Exploration Exchange Society, the Old God Esoteric Cult Research Society, the Mysterious Relics Exchange Society, etc., right? I have joined them all."
Claire nodded, indicating that she understood this.
"According to school regulations, in order to give freshmen who have been enrolled for less than one year enough time to get to know Pamir College, the association can only recruit students who have been enrolled for one year or more."
Beside her, Avis added helpfully.
"Yes, that's the one."
After lightly snapping her fingers, the blue-haired girl suddenly looked around, trying her best to put on a mysterious expression on her face.
"But, do you know? Associations are not just those that go around recruiting people all day long, but there are also secret types that are hidden deep under the water and only issue invitations to students who pass a certain 'assessment'!"
"And what I'm going to tell you next involves one of those secret societies."
As she spoke, Milia lowered her voice.
"I don't know the specific name of that association, but it is said that during the orientation ceremony, the traps set up trap the freshmen for the longest time, and it is also one of their secret assessment projects!"
"Such a strange assessment item? Is there anything special about that association?"
Claire's beautiful eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and her blue eyes were full of strange colors.
Although it has been almost three years since she entered school, due to her background and the fact that she has always deliberately kept a distance from other classmates, she is not well informed.
"What's special?"
Miliya showed a mysterious smile, blinked, and suddenly asked two questions.
"I think you should know that in the academy's trading market, the ratio of gold coins to credits is thirty to one.
But have you ever thought about why it is this ratio and not forty to one or fifty to one?"
"Moreover, most of the students who can enter Pamir College have gold coins in their families. As for the importance of college credits, both of you should know very well. Even if you exchange one hundred gold coins for one credit, there are many people who are willing to exchange it.
.
But in the trading market and task hall, all tasks for acquiring credits are maintained at this ratio. Even the tasks issued by newcomers who are supposed to be completely ignorant of the rules are the same.
Aren’t you surprised by this?”
"Well?"
Claire was stunned. She had really never thought about this problem. She couldn't help but look at Anvis instinctively, with a questioning look in her eyes.
Beside him, Anvis's face turned slightly solemn.
Although the Duke did not tell him the specific information, he knew the inside story clearly due to the memory of his previous life.
"Yes, of course there is some kind of force behind the occurrence of this phenomenon."
Not knowing the identity of Anvis, Milia continued to enthusiastically reveal the inside story to the 'genius new student' and the 'cold elf' in her eyes.
"According to the rumors circulating in the college, the reason why the credits are fixed at this price is precisely because of the secret manipulation of this association!"
"And those freshmen who do not follow the rules will receive special warnings. While the assigned tasks will be removed internally, their existence will not be disclosed to the outside world."
