CHAPTER 7 – ADMISSION (5)
Note: This is a high-quality MTL but an MTL nonetheless. Reader discretion is advised. Please do not complain afterward.

There were 1,141 first-year students, and there were as many as 23 classes. Each class had a professor in charge (combat instructor) and one to four assistant teachers, with a professor of technology and numerous wizards in charge of the subject.

With fresh students arriving at the beginning of the semester, there was only one subject of interest for the several faculty members.

‘How many special freshmen have shown up?’

Princess Hong Bi-yeon of the ‘Adolevit Kingdom,’ also known as the ‘Red Kingdom’ or ‘Kingdom of Flame’ because of its prestige in the fire world.

Crown Prince Jeremy Skalben succeeded in defeating all his brothers and became the crown prince of the ‘Skalben Empire’ at the age of 12 where the imperial power was determined solely by one’s magical skills.

Hae Won-ryang, the successor of the world’s best Archmage tower, the ‘Tower of the Full Moon’.

This year, elite students from huge families entered into Stella Academy one after the other, making even Stella’s faculty nervous, and the world’s attention was naturally drawn to Stellar Academy.

For that reason, faculty members used a slightly flimsy but special method for this year’s ‘Class Placement Test’.

Students who have been studying normally would have to put up with not one but three difficult questions on the test.

And those were the first three questions.

There were many reasons, but one reason was to expose the students.

‘If you can’t get it right, skip it and quickly solve the next question,’ a flexibility test.

In other words, it was an ‘admission strategy.’

Boldly give up on problems you can’t solve and pass them on! If you’re stuck with it for no reason, you might not be able to win even one more point that you could have normally earned with the next problem.

But that was a superficial reason, and the real reason was something else.

‘Will the students be able to solve a problem that is not covered in the textbooks they have been studying?’

All of the freshmen who entered Stella Academy were children who were referred to as gifted children all over the world, and they would have studied strategically and completed all of the magic formulas and formulas until the university course.

However, if the problem does not appear within the scope of their studies, then what? What if there is a problem that cannot be solved by any formulas that have been memorized and ingrained in their heads?

What if there is a problem that can only be solved through creativity, reasoning, and critical thinking?

The days of simply fighting with a cold weapon are over. The age of magic warriors had arrived.

What kind of magic the opponent will use, how to respond appropriately, and a lack of creativity have all become major issues for wizards in this era where you had to fight creatively.

“Hmm…”

The 7th class world mage and S class instructor Hanwol Lee drooled while checking the students’ grades.

Then, an old female professor, Edel Tyman, passed by, noticed Lee Hanwol, and approached him.

“Oh my God, it seems that Lee Hanwol is very interested in the grades of this freshman?”
