Folk Card Maker: Starting from Painted Skin.

Chapter 126 Soft Persimmon

50 people.

When Zhang Jingtian was receiving the new students, he specifically learned that they had enrolled a total of 200 new students this year, with the largest number in Districts and .

Of these 200 students, only a quarter are able to enter the Battle Academy.

The probability is still quite small, but it also means that the students there can receive a better education.

Zhang Jingtian clenched his fists. No matter what the selection rules were, he would definitely go to the Combat Academy.

It's not just the status of the academy itself. The current situation is quietly changing. Such peaceful scenes will become less and less common in the future, so actual combat is the most important thing.

"But in addition to the Battle Academy, we also have two specialty academies. They're no different from the Battle Academy in terms of superiority or inferiority, they just have different positioning."

At this time, Ding Xiaoyu, who was standing next to Zhang Jingtian, said softly:
"Just listen to it. There must be a difference. Otherwise, why would the Battle Academy select the best candidates for admission?"

"One is a manufacturing academy that focuses on card making, especially spell cards and field cards. Here, you can learn many card making techniques.

You know, not all card makers have to fight; they can also contribute their strength as logistics personnel. A battle consumes a huge number of spell cards, and it's impossible for card makers to create them all personally. This is when your role comes into play."

Zhang Jingtian had heard that the Manufacturing Academy had the most rich people because many of them became businessmen. They were much richer than those who went to the front lines to fight, and they were also relatively safe.

At this time, Ding Xiaoyu on the side started to sabotage again, and whispered in Zhang Jingtian's ear:

"It's just a logistics academy, but they changed the name to something so nice."

Wu Chunhua ignored the discussions below and continued:
"And the third academy is the comprehensive academy that enrolls the largest number of students each year. As the name suggests, our comprehensive academy covers everything. In addition to combat and card making, we also teach some theoretical knowledge and psychological counseling."

Zhang Jingtian knew that this kind of comprehensive college was the worst. Learning everything meant being proficient in nothing.

As a card maker, proficiency in a certain field is much more important than being comprehensive.

Just like races, top card makers almost always specialize in a particular race. Those who dabble in all five races, on the other hand, find it difficult to reach the pinnacle.

The students also knew that although Principal Wu had repeatedly emphasized that the three colleges were equally important, they all knew that there were differences between the three colleges.

They all wanted to go to the Battle Academy.

Wu Chunhua paused and continued:

"I can see that everyone is eager to try. In that case, I will explain to you the rules of our school assignment this time."

"Tomorrow morning, you will all gather at our school gymnasium at the same time."

“At that time, all students will be thrown into the same arena.

You can use all means in the arena, including Heroic Spirit Cards, Spell Cards, and even melee combat.

Finally, it ends when there are only fifty people left on the ring.

And these fifty people are the candidates for this year's Battle Academy."

Zhang Jingtian felt that this somewhat primitive and barbaric distribution method was indeed in line with the setting of the Combat Academy.

Isn't it just fun to fight?
"Then how are the other two colleges allocated, Principal?"

Someone in the audience immediately asked.

At this time, Principal Wu also answered the other party's question:
"Our instructors will assign you to a more suitable academy based on your performance in the arena and your personality."

Although it is very tactful, admission is still based on merit.

Those who performed poorly could only go to the comprehensive college. Of course, the students of the comprehensive college of Magic City Card Academy were definitely better than the elites of many card academies in actual combat.

And there are also counterattacks. Zhang Jingtian saw it when he read the school history. The current Minister of the Dragon Country’s Security Department graduated from the Magic City Kayuan Comprehensive College.

However, this exception is just an exception.

Zhang Jingtian glanced at Ding Xiaoyu beside him and said, "Then we won't have to fight among ourselves, right?"

Ding Xiaoyu chuckled, "Of course, there are fifty of us anyway! Then I won't challenge you today. I'll just conserve my energy."

Zhang Jingtian nodded, he thought most people thought so.

After all, tomorrow's college entrance examination is more important.

However, after the three deans finished talking about the advantages of their colleges as usual and ended the freshman orientation meeting, two students had already walked towards Zhang Jingtian.

One day is enough for everyone to understand the composition of this year's freshmen.

The first place in District 9 is always a symbol of weakness, and this year is no exception.

"You are Zhang Jingtian, right?"

The guy who walked over was a guy with a Shamatte hairstyle, who looked particularly cool.

Zhang Jingtian found it hard to imagine that such a person was his classmate.

"Yeah." Zhang Jingtian responded indifferently.

At this time, concerned eyes were cast from all directions.

They had obviously guessed what was about to happen here, and a group of people looked over eagerly.

"Well, I'm from the middle-level dormitory, and I want to challenge you."

There are four levels of dormitories this time, from high to low, namely special, advanced, intermediate and basic.

As the third-tier dormitory, the intermediate dormitory should be far behind the special-tier dormitory.

As a result, he challenged Zhang Jingtian aggressively, which made many people feel that he was looking down on Zhang Jingtian.

However, after hearing this, Zhang Jingtian just smiled faintly: "Sure, I'm always here for you."

Ding Xiaoyu couldn't help but sneer at Shamatte at this time: "You are an intermediate, so just challenge the advanced level. You are planning to skip two levels!"

He knew that many people were going to laugh at Zhang Jingtian. Winning would be fine, but if he lost to a middle-level dormitory student, Zhang Jingtian's four years of college would probably become a joke.

"Honestly," Shamatte said lazily, "I think all of you guys in the high-end dorms, except for those in District 9, are more difficult to deal with than him. When we challenge him, of course we have to pick on the weak."

At this time, the other students in District 9 heard this and immediately stood up in dissatisfaction.

Zhang Jingtian chuckled. "You're quite good at talking. Didn't your mother teach you not to judge people by appearance? What? Do you think all the people in District 9 are fake?"

"Isn't it?" Shamatte pursed his lips and said, "Stop nagging me. Do you want to accept the challenge?"

"Of course." Zhang Jingtian smiled. "If there's a challenge that comes to my doorstep for free, of course I'll take it."

This scene also attracted the attention of several instructors in the school. They stopped and smiled with satisfaction on their faces:
"This year's freshman is pretty good, very energetic."
