Chapter 58 Divination(1/2)
"What's the matter?! What's the crown? What's the fate revealed? Did the little witch find out?..."
The next morning, Wu Jin and Caesar walked out of the Twin Towers, hurried to the cafeteria to pack breakfast, and ran towards the classroom on the class bell.
When Caesar entered the door, he carried a bag of meat buns, which was filled with fragrance, which attracted many trainees to look around.
Zoe and Wenlin kept seats for the two in the front row—
After two rounds of elimination, only 300 of the 500 trainees were left, and the originally crowded classroom was finally able to stretch its shoulders and arms.
The trainee's eyes followed the smell of flesh and quickly locked on Wu Jin again.
The bright grade mark was pasted on the waist of his training jacket, and the gold-hot word "A" shines.
The second round of knockout champion, Closson showed the C position of the theme song. No one could have expected that this trainee who was admitted to the program team because of his appearance was so popular in two months, and even ranked up to Wei Yan.
"...Bai Yueguang Entertainment is good at reasoning...but the gun only has the seven rings of dynamic targets..."
"...If you win another championship, you can advance to S, but R code entertainment..."
A low voice came from the back row and dissipated in the air with the aroma of Roujiamo.
Wu Jin did not listen carefully, and his eyes swept through the classroom, pausing slightly on the bodies of several A-level trainees.
At this time, the 300 players were sorted again according to the previous round of knockout matches. S was still only Wei Yan and A level 22 players. Among them, the top 10 players ranked as half a foot to enter the debut position - their level letters are clearly distinguished from the silver level of other trainees.
Among the top ten people who have been refreshed-
1 person in R code entertainment, Bai Yueguang Wu Jin, Zoe 2 people, Zhuoma Entertainment 2 people, Jingyi Entertainment 2 people, Blue People Entertainment 2 people, and a small economy company player who advanced from D.
Wu Jin roughly estimated that the form was much more severe than he thought.
The rules of the "cell automaton" in the last round of knockout match were complicated, and most players in the game were still lucky. Including Bo Chuanhuo, who suffered both losses, Caesar, and Qin Jinbao, who was fooled by poisoning, many powerful players who could have attacked their debut positions were excluded from the top ten at this time.
The silver wire roll was wiped out. Zhuoma, Jingyi Entertainment performed stably, and the number of shortlisted people remained unchanged. Zhuoma lost only one Qin Jinbao, but the position was quickly filled by trainees in the same company.
As for Blue People's Entertainment—
The name of this economic company is extremely conspicuous. At first glance, it doesn’t look like 3018, but rather like 2018. Wu Jin clearly remembers that before the last round of knockout round, only one trainee in this "People’s Entertainment" was shortlisted, and it has increased to two at this time.
In addition to the big guy who hides his strength, the little brother Hongmao under the boss, and Wen Lin, whose ranking has steadily increased, the final competition for debut will become increasingly fierce.
The Caesar was tall and big. He saw Zoe in the crowd at first sight, pulled Wu Jin and rushed over from the aisle: "What's the Golden Dawn Conference--"
Wu Jin tried hard to swallow the last small piece of pancake and said vaguely: "The clue cannot be solved, it is a bit like a spell or divination guidance... The Golden Dawn Knot can find information."
Caesarton is happy.
Wu Jin: "The Golden Dawn was a witchcraft association established in London, England in 1888. It implements Western mysticism and religion. It is known for its astrology, tarot, and alchemy. The representative figures are Edward Waite..."
Caesar slapped his thigh and asked if he didn't understand: "Which planet is England?"
Wu Jin's eyes turned black: "..."
The two quickly passed the aisle and arrived at Zoe's location.
The White Moonlight Sniper occupied two seats against the wall, and another one was empty, which made three chairs empty. Caesar pushed Wu Jin to Zoe without hesitation - lest Zoe gets angry and wants to check his class notes.
In front of the podium, the course theme is projected on the virtual light curtain:
"Mysterious divination".
The course instructor has not appeared yet, at the door of the classroom, he just came home to see who his wife and children's blood pigeon were talking to.
Xue Ge adheres to the usual characteristics of Tongxiaxiu professional players - the skeleton is large and blocks the visitors tightly. Only a corner of white robe and white mottled hair can be seen.
Wu Jin's attention was attracted by the things placed on the table.
Each trainee, including Zoe and Caesar, had a paper box about the size of a palm on his desk, which was the teaching aids for this class.
The cardboard box in front of Zoe has been opened, revealing dozens of neatly placed cards. The back patterns of the cards are exquisite and cumbersome, and there is also an instruction manual in the box.
"Edward Waite, Golden Dawn Society."
Caesar swallowed the Roujiamo in a few seconds and used his greasy big hands to disassemble the teaching aids in front of him: "Hey, Xiaowu, this is not the one you said--"
Wu Jin nodded and added: "Edward Waite, the founder of Tarot divination."
There are about seventy or eighty cards in a box of cards, and the paintings on the cards are ancient and exquisite, and they are lifelike from the background relief to the characters' expressions.
Wu Jin randomly drew a picture - four winged beasts spread their wings and churned in the clouds. In the middle is the rotating compass, and the following line of small words is: "Wheel of Fate".
He opened each of the other cards in turn, with the empress, sacrifice, death, and small cards with Roman numerals. Some can guess the meaning from the pattern, while others are obscure and difficult to distinguish.
Zoe whispered, "Did you see anything?"
Wu Jin, who was counting cards, shook his head slightly and said, "78 pictures. I was wondering... why is the divination class the first quarter, not the last quarter before the game."
Zoe was stunned.
Wu Jin thought: "It is possible...it is to give us enough time to memorize all 78 cards. If nothing unexpected happens, the third round of knockout is related to the tarot card."
Outside the door, the man talking to the blood pigeon nodded with a smile and walked slowly into the classroom.
At the same time, the late red-haired cat came in from the back door - Caesar slapped the back of the chair and was hospitalized. With a wave of his hand, he called the red-haired to the empty seat next to him.
Wu Jin raised his head and greeted Hongmao. After glanced at him, he was slightly disappointed. The boss obviously adhered to his usual style of skipping classes and implemented his absence to the end.
The red-haired man tacitly laughed.
It was not until the mentor walked onto the podium that everyone suddenly realized that this person was not a gray-haired old man, but a trendy young man with gray-haired head dyed.
In Wu Jin's opinion, his style was strange. The overall cut was like a priest in a church. There was a circle wrapped around the outside, and the shoulder buttons were inappropriate, which seemed to imitate the ancient Greek sage. The "Centaur Metaphysics and Numerology Association of the Occupational Masters" on his chest shining.
Unlike a fashionable outfit, the fortune teller spoke with a gentle tone, which was as smooth as a trickle of water.
"My name is Sinra, I am from Centauri, and I major in ancient Western numerology."
"I'm glad to see you and to take you on a mysterious journey to Tarot. The moment I entered the classroom, I've already felt your power, a thriving, and full of vitality that comes from my heart."
"Let me take a closer look...300 trainees," he stretched out his hand gently, as if to touch the mysterious etheric energy in the air: "I can vaguely see that 22 people will compete in the debut position in the end, and 6 of them will enter the Star League in the future."
The classroom suddenly paused, and the trainees who were originally skeptical suddenly became serious and listened carefully.
Sinra continued to say in an illusory tone: "I saw the mysterious astrology behind you... Now, 45 brave little lions, followed by 32 wise Scorpios, 30 enthusiastic Sagittarius..."
Caesar was stunned: "There are more than 30 snipers sitting here!"
Zoe: "…Shut up, people are talking about zodiac signs."
Caesar suddenly realized: "Oh, I am Leo!"
Zoe was so annoyed that she lowered her head and whispered to Wu Jin: "It's a bit amazing... The 300 trainee zodiac signs can be calculated by just a glance?"
Wu Jin hesitated: "I think... it should be that Teacher Xue Ge showed him the registration form just now, and everyone's birthday was registered."
"..." Zoe said with difficulty: "So it's all a charlatan routine? First use prophecies about everyone's future to attract attention, and then start to show off..."
Wu Jin replied quietly in his voice: "It's amazing, everyone believes it."
In the classroom, as expected, many trainees stared at the podium. Some of them remained awake. Wei Yan looked out the window with a cold expression, and the tarot cards in front of him were not even removed, and he was obviously a firm atheist.
Sitting near him was the counterexample Bo Chuanhuo. This person almost put his face on the podium, and he wanted to immediately hold the tutor's hand and let him show him a career line.
Caesar, who was standing beside him, chatting with Hongmao in full swing.
Wu Jin initially thought that Caesar was not very interested in metaphysics, but he realized after a while that Caesar was too interested in class.
On the podium, fortune teller Sinra ended the opening words and signaled the trainee to disassemble the cards in front of him.
"The tarot card originated in the 15th century and has been widely circulated since the 19th century. It is both a tool for divination and a tool for guiding the thinking of the soul. Until the 31st century, this occult card system has extended thousands of branches including Flower Shadow Tarot, Cat Tarot, and Crystal Tarot. However, in the past two weeks, I suggest that everyone learn from the Waite Tarot - that is, the deck placed in front of you."
"Its author is a member of the famous Golden Dawn Society, Edward Waite."
Zoe and Wu Jin exchanged a look.
Regardless of the knockout rules, it is obviously crucial to memorize the card.
"78 tarot cards, composed of 22 big akarnas and 56 little akarnas, are used to explain the general trajectory of fate, and turn them from above, including the fool, the magician, the priestess... We will focus on these 22 in the next lesson."
"Little Akarna is divided into four card colors: scepter, star coin, holy grail, and sword. Each card color is divided into numbers A~10, and four palace character cards..."
A lesson passed in a flash. In the second lesson, the fortune teller taught a basic arrangement.
All trainees pulled out three cards and arranged them in sequence, interpreting them as the past, present and future respectively. The classroom was bustling with people, and they racked their brains to unravel the cards.
"The clues have been given quite a lot," Zoe thought while looking at the instructions: "For the rest of the question, what does the tarot card represent in the game?"
Wu Jin nodded: "There is also the prompt word, 'Find you, cover you, and crown you'. Maybe you will know only when you go to the field - just like the last round of the game."
Zoe nodded, suddenly felt something and looked up at Wu Jin.
Caesar Redmao, who "grouped a team to unlock cards", was having a lot of fun.
"One-on-3!" Caesar threw down two cards.
Red-haired quickly followed up: "One-on-6!"
Caesar was proud: "Four 4, bomb!"
Hongmao laughed: "Four A's, I'll blow it up again!"
Zoe: "…"
Two minutes later, Bai Yueguang and the other two voted quickly and passed the resolution with 2 favors and 1 abandonment, confiscating Caesar's 56 small Akarna digital cards.
