After all, he had heard before coming that the relationship between Lanoa Magic University and adventurers was extremely close. Not only did a large number of students work as adventurers after graduation, but current adventurers also came to Lanoa Magic University to study and delve into the mysteries of magic.
Some adventurers, after engaging in scientific research, even give up their adventurer careers to become teachers and professors at Lanoa Magic University.
In short, due to his close relationship with adventurers, Shirou's status as an S-rank adventurer is truly remarkable, so he has to conceal his identity to join in order to avoid encountering his old enemies and rivals.
"The admission ticket has been confirmed to be correct."
After checking the admission ticket and finding no problems, the guard asked Shirou, "Do you know where the exam venue is?"
"do not know."
Shirou shook his head.
The guard then directed Shirou to the location of the exam.
“Go straight from here, turn right at the statue of the first principal, and you will see a building with a blue roof. Hand your admission ticket to the lady at the counter, and she will arrange the entrance exam for you.”
"Thank you."
From the ordinary guards at La Noa Magic University, Shirou sensed a rigor and seriousness that seemed out of place in this era.
This made Shirou realize why such a powerful alliance of nations as the Magic Three Kingdoms could emerge from such a harsh land as the northern region.
Ultimately, the strength of the people here lies not in magic, but in their adherence to rules and order.
Shirou was even more eager to learn what he could in this supreme magical sanctuary.
After receiving directions from the guard, Shirou headed towards his destination.
The roads at the Magic University are all straight, and in addition to vegetation, there are brick walls about three meters high all around.
Shirou hadn't paid any attention to the brick walls at first, but as he got closer, his intuition told him that there were some strange fluctuations emanating from them.
"This is……"
Shirou stared at the brick, hesitating.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out beside me.
"The bricks in this school are all made of anti-magic stone bricks, a technology unique to the Magic Three Kingdoms, which can withstand high-level magic attacks."
"I see."
Shirou had used anti-magic bricks when he forged the Demon-Slaying Spear for Rigel, so he was just surprised that such a thick wall was made entirely of anti-magic bricks.
Of course, he never expected that someone would specifically introduce him.
Shirou turned his head and saw a tall figure with short white hair, long elf ears, and wearing a black magical artifact similar to sunglasses. He wasn't very tall, or perhaps it was just because he was still young.
He seemed to be around thirteen or fourteen years old. It was hard to tell if he was male or female. With his overly flat physique, he appeared to be male, but there was something about him that gave off a soft feeling.
Shirou hesitated for a moment, then immediately realized that it was very inappropriate for him to scrutinize a stranger like that, and quickly said, "Thank you. Are you a student at this magic university?"
"Yes, it is."
With silver hair, his youthful figure seemed a little stiff, but he immediately spoke up: "My name is Fitz, and I'm a student at this school."
"My name is Emiya, and I'm here to take the entrance exam."
"Emperor Wei?"
"Yes."
Both parties gave brief self-introductions.
An awkward silence immediately fell over the scene.
Since the two parties did not know each other, they could not continue the conversation.
Shirou then quickly said goodbye, explaining that he had to go take the entrance exam, and parted ways with Fitz.
After this little incident, Shirou arrived at the entrance exam site without any problems. After handing his admission ticket to the lady at the counter, he was quickly led to a special room.
The room resembled a training room, with an interior layout as spacious as a gymnasium. There were four magic circles, each about five meters in radius, arranged in a row on the floor.
Besides Shirou, there were twenty other men and women inside.
Some of them looked like adventurers, while others looked like ordinary commoners. There were also nobles, but in smaller numbers.
This is probably because when schools admit children of noble families, they can gain admission directly through special connections without having to go through any exams or tests.
Although it is unfair, for magic universities, admitting nobles can not only further expand their influence, but also obtain funding from various countries.
As an institution of higher learning established by a weak nation, this was an unavoidable situation.
After Shirou arrived at the scene, he was instructed by a teacher to take the assessment in order.
"Will the assessment involve combat?"
Shirou couldn't help but ask, because he saw some students fighting each other.
"of course not."
The magic university professor in charge of administration shook his head. "Although we will arrange simulated battles regularly after enrollment, it's not necessary to go to that level for freshmen. Of course, if a student is specially recruited for some reason, we will measure their abilities through actual combat."
"I see."
Shirou remembered that Rudeus was a special student invited by the Magic University, so he must have undergone the Magic University's assessment and tests.
Considering Rudeus's extraordinary magical talent, he will likely attract a lot of attention and scrutiny after enrolling in the academy, and I should be able to find out his whereabouts easily.
Thinking of this, Shirou asked his teacher if he knew Rudeus Grellard, but unexpectedly he did not get a positive answer. Instead, the teacher looked at him with a puzzled expression, not knowing who he was talking about.
Did Rudeus not come to the Magic University?
Shirou couldn't help but have this thought.
After all, he believed that with Rudeus's magical talent, once he enrolled in the magic university, he would surely cause a huge sensation in this holy land of magic, and it would be only natural for him to become one of the best students.
But the teacher in front of him said he didn't know Rudius, so there are only two possibilities.
Either Rudeus never came to the magic university, or for some reason he didn't show his exaggerated magical talent, or he simply concealed his identity like himself.
For whatever reason, Shirou realized that this journey to find Rudeus might not go smoothly.
While he was pondering, the entrance exam had already officially begun.
Those who participate in the assessment are required to inject magic power into a magic circle. As long as the magic circle lights up slightly, confirming that they have magical talent, they are considered qualified.
This assessment is reasonable.
After all, even a skilled cook can't cook without rice. If one can't even unleash magic, then even a magic university couldn't possibly teach such students.
Those who dared to participate in the entrance examination for the magic university were certainly not fools without self-awareness; everyone passed the examination easily, including Shirou.
After passing the first assessment, the examiner said there would be another assessment, but the second assessment was not mandatory; it was simply to test the student's abilities.
In this magic university, magical ability is ultimately the most direct indicator.
Since different students have vastly different magical talents, the school does not follow the normal age-based class division system, but instead uses magical ability as the indicator.
Only students who perform well can advance to the next grade; otherwise, there are many students who are still first-year students even when they are in their thirties or forties.
Simply put, if your magical abilities are insufficient, you will have to repeat a grade.
Conversely, if one demonstrates exceptional magical ability, one can skip levels directly.
This assessment is to determine the abilities of the new students so that they can be assigned to suitable classes and receive appropriate instruction.
"Just show us your best magic, and we'll score you."
After saying that, the teacher looked on with a waiting expression.
Some students looked nervous, while others were calm and composed. They began to demonstrate their best and strongest magic in the original order.
Shirou observed that the students generally used basic magic, and there were practically no freshmen who knew intermediate magic.
He would probably be able to meet the teacher's requirements and even be rated as excellent simply by demonstrating intermediate-level earth and fire magic.
But Shirou doesn't intend to show only this much.
He came to this magic university for two reasons: first, to find his younger brother Rudeus, and second, to learn more advanced magical techniques and further improve his magical abilities.
There's absolutely no need to hide your strength at a time like this.
Conversely, demonstrating enough strength to attract attention would not only draw Rudeus's notice but also secure more knowledge and resources from the Magic University.
With that in mind, Shirou didn't hesitate much.
When it was his turn to be assessed, he went straight to the assessment site.
"IAmTheBoneOfMySword!"
Shirou raised his right hand and began to chant.
His behavior, so different from that of the other students, undoubtedly attracted the attention of the teachers and students present, who all cast curious glances at him.
Chapter 293 The University President's Appreciation, the Study of Sword Magic!
Shirou's sword magic is a special skill he learned from Loki when he first came to this world.
Essentially, it replaces projection magic with the magic of this world, allowing Shirou, who was unable to use projection magic normally at the time, to unleash the ability to project.
When Shirou became powerful enough to freely unleash projection magic, he essentially abandoned sword magic altogether, no longer using this inferior alternative whose power was far less than projection magic.
However, this does not mean that Shirou has completely given up on sword magic.
For Shirou, what he has always wanted to do is surpass the Heroic Spirit Emiya, not to reach the limit of the Heroic Spirit Emiya and then stop getting stronger.
The projection magic is ultimately based on the existence of the Heroic Spirit Emiya, which is why it has become such a powerful ability.
For Shirou to surpass Emiya in projection magic would undoubtedly be an extremely difficult task.
In contrast, sword magic, which is based on the magic system of this world and is born through systematic magical techniques, undoubtedly has a higher ceiling and greater potential.
Moreover, since the principle of sword magic is to forge weapons quickly through magic, as Shirou's forging skills improve, the power of the weapons created by sword magic also increases continuously, even gradually approaching the level of projection magic.
Unfortunately, since Rocco left, Shirou has not encountered a master magician to teach him further magical knowledge, resulting in his sword magic being in a semi-abandoned state.
Therefore, Shirou is now looking forward to La Noa Magic University, hoping that there will be someone in the school who can guide him to further improve his sword magic.
Therefore, he demonstrated his strongest abilities in the entrance exam.
"IAmTheBoneOfMySword!"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Shirou's sword magic was swiftly unleashed.
The intense magic transformed into flames that appeared around him, and the earth element was rapidly extracted from the ground, constructing the prototypes of weapon after weapon.
Shirou's gaze was focused on the space in front of him, with no extra thoughts to control it.
However, the surrounding environment was naturally enveloped by one longsword after another, quickly transforming into a domain filled with swords.
"Kacha!"
Just as Shirou had demonstrated his sword magic skills in the past, he now completed the sword magic with great ease, displaying hundreds of longswords standing beside him.
Each sword was freshly forged, radiating a chilling gleam that made one's pores shrink.
Even the protective barrier in the training grounds of the magic university was instinctively activated by Shirou's magic, emitting a dazzling light that shone brightly alongside the countless swords.
The teachers present all stared wide-eyed.
The students were dumbfounded, unable to comprehend what was happening before their eyes.
"How...how did you do that just now...?"
The teacher who brought Shirou over looked astonished, with an expression that showed he really wanted to know what had happened.
Shirou silently explained, "This is a special magic I developed in the past, called sword magic. Its effect is to combine earth and fire magic to create so many weapons out of thin air around us."
"Developed magic? You've already reached the Saint level?"
"No, to my shame, my magical talent is limited. After all these years, I am still stuck in the upper level."
After Shirou demonstrated his sword magic, he gained Lokishi's approval and officially became a senior mage. However, his magical achievements stopped there, and he did not make any progress over the years. Therefore, he approached the mages at the magic academy with a humble and eager-to-learn attitude.
However, Shirou was unaware of the profound impact his magic had on the magic academy.
The teacher in charge of the entrance examination remained silent for a long time before accepting the fact that the school had finally welcomed another genius, and was extremely excited.
In his opinion, Shirou's sword magic was not only highly creative, but also that the other party did not chant for a long time when releasing the magic, but only used a short sentence to activate the magic.
This shows that even if Shirou isn't a magician who doesn't chant, he has at least reached the level of simplifying chanting.
Considering his age, he is undoubtedly a true genius.
The teacher in charge of the assessment hurriedly reported the matter to his superiors, and even directly notified the current principal of the Magic University, the Wind King-level magician, Genus.
