Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1626 The Legendary Mage of the Tower

The Paladin Academy's test field is located in the underground maze space to the east of the academy's teaching area.

The originally extremely unstable maze space was firmly controlled by the first dean of the Paladin Academy and the church, and became a natural training ground for the Paladin Academy that could not be replicated.

The college’s annual freshman assessment test will evaluate all aspects of the freshmen.

The most important part of the evaluation is the comprehensive confrontation between teams of five.

Just like a game called "Chicken Eating" on Blue Star, twenty teams of participants will be randomly placed into a randomly generated natural environment in a maze to compete.

Based on the students' performance in all aspects during the trial and the team's final ranking, the mentors who serve as judges will also decide which freshmen will be eligible for admission.

Outside the maze's trial field is the meeting hall where the academy announces important matters.

There are over a thousand seats outside the auditorium. In addition to being a gathering place for final exams on weekdays, it is also a place for old students of the college and some specially invited guests to watch the exams on site during the freshman assessment period.

Logically speaking, old students in the college would not be too interested in the assessment test for freshmen.

After all, who among them hasn't stood out as a person who has experienced it?
This kind of brawl among professional groups, which seems rare to outsiders, is the final exam they have to take every semester.

Especially the freshmen who may have just met each other may not have much tacit understanding with each other, and they are full of flaws in the eyes of the old students.

However, for some reason, there were many more old students watching the game in the seats outside the auditorium today than usual.

Even if there were bigwigs from the High Tower and the Church of Holy Light coming to watch, it shouldn't have attracted so many old students.

……

In just one morning, all the freshmen of the first round had completed the comprehensive confrontation test.

The five young boys and girls who won the championship in the first round of comprehensive confrontation test also received the personal blessing of the smiling dean Amaya on the podium.

But after hearing the thunderous applause from the students and faculty below, Amaya always felt that something was wrong.

It seems that the college is not on holiday today.

Why are there so many old students and college faculty and staff coming to watch the game?
As a legendary paladin who had experienced many battles, Amaya almost instantly determined that these old students and faculty members seemed to have been instigated by someone to come and watch the battle.

As for who would do such a thing...

Amaya hid her helplessness in her eyes and watched the five children with a promising future walk off the podium with a smile.

Forcing herself not to face the gazes of her students and colleagues, Amaya loudly announced the start of the second round of assessment and turned back to the auditorium.

But even if he is a veteran and experienced person.

But Amaya, who was in a depressed mood, still didn't notice that at the judges' table opposite the podium, all the great mentors from the branch campuses of the nine major professions had gathered together at some point.

Among them, the two ninth-level mages who are moderates in the tower and serve as the chief instructors of the mage profession in the academy have resolute expressions on their faces hidden under their cloaks.

Walking back to the empty college auditorium, the four "special guests" sitting in front of the magic crystal screen all had their backs to Amaya.

"Haha, this is a wonderful freshman assessment. The future of the Teaching Nation is limitless.

"So, Dean Amaya, half of the time left for you has passed. Have you thought it over?"

Hearing her footsteps, a strong middle-aged man in a dark red loose robe stood up, turned around and said with a smile.

A horrifying scar ran vertically across the left eye of his face, and his golden right eye was like the scorching sun, emitting rich divine magic power.

It was Frodo, one of the three cardinals of the Church of Holy Light, who was the ambitious man who proposed that the Church of the Holy Light burn Saint Lothal to the ground.

Looking at the expectant cardinal in front of her, Amaya's smile disappeared, and she replied politely with a cold expression:
"Respected Cardinal, I have promised that when this round of competition is over, I will go to the Holy City with you and everyone else."

"You know, I don't want you to go to the Holy City with us."

Hearing Amaya's reply, Frodo's tone turned unfriendly:

“The reason why the gods no longer bestow blessings upon us is because we are too weak, allowing foreign royal courts and pagan religions to run rampant!
"It is our duty to eradicate those heretics! Can't you understand my grand ideal?"

Before Amaya could refute, a faint female laugh sounded in the auditorium:
"Archbishop Frodo, why bother whether she can understand your ideals? She has to obey us anyway."

The white-haired wizard in the precious blue enchanted robe also stood up and looked at Amaya with a playful look:

"Although the protective magic circle in the academy is indeed good, the illusion spell released from the inside... I really want to see what the effect will be, hehe..."

"Omilia, you dare!" Amaya, who had originally looked indifferent, almost exploded with the murderous intent that had accumulated in her heart when she heard the threat from the white-haired female wizard.

That’s right, the white-haired woman with a cruel sneer on her face is none other than the legendary leader of the illusion school, Omilia.

"Oh my, my Lord Paladin, haven't you noticed yet?"

But just when Amaya wanted to take out the giant sword from the magic storage ring to intimidate, she found that she could not move her body in disbelief.

As Omilia's triumphant laughter died down, the mage, whose petite figure was wrapped in an indigo-colored enchanted robe, slowly stood up and cast a cold gaze at Amaya.

This is a silent girl with short black hair and an expressionless face.

But in his eyes, there was a bright blue light of magic flashing.

Selina, the legendary leader of the school of enchantment.

When she saw the blue magic power released from the other person's eyes connected to her body at some point, Amaya realized in despair that everything was over.

Although she had cast the blessing spell on herself in advance, the Paladin was not a magic profession after all.

She was confident that she could be completely immune to seventh and eighth level enchantment spells. Even a ninth level enchantment wizard would not be able to leave her unaware when he was casting a spell.

But this genius enchantment wizard, the youngest person in the history of the Teaching Country to enter the realm of legend, made her fall for him without even realizing it!

"Well done, Selina and Omelia. It's all over now. There's no need to continue watching this boring game."

After confirming that Amaya was completely unable to move, Frodo smiled with a look of success, and his golden eyes revealed his crazy ambition that was no longer concealed.

But just when Flodada became the target and was about to take out the teleportation item to leave.

"This trial is worth watching."

A buzzing sound, like the roar of some giant beast, suddenly rang out.

The owner of the voice was the burly figure in a red robe who had been sitting in his chair from beginning to end, concentrating on watching the picture on the magic crystal screen in the auditorium.

Augustus, the leader of the legendary school of evocation and the half-dragon wizard.

"Augustus, the enchantment spell cannot last too long on Amaya, who is also a legendary level. There is no need to do this..."

Frodo frowned and was about to persuade this taciturn but unimaginably powerful Shaper to leave.

"I say, this trial is necessary to watch."

The next second, Augustus repeated the sentence word by word in a dull voice, and the thick black-scaled tail behind him swung in dissatisfaction.

Amaya instantly felt the spell of control on her being lifted and her eyes widened.

Selina's pupils shrank sharply at this moment. She ignored Amaya and sat back in her chair.

Omelia smacked her lips unhappily, ignored Frodo, and sat back obediently.

Although Frodo is ambitious, he is not a fool.

In addition to the evocation spell, the most terrifying thing about Augustus, a dragonborn, is that he has mastered the dragon language magic of the Dragonheart Court.

Looking at the entire tower, only Augustus possesses this god-like power.

If it were during the Dragon Plague Era, Dragonborn would be sentenced to death.

Augustus, the Dragonborn who has survived from the end of the Dragon Plague to this day, God knows how exaggerated his strength is.

Faced with the threat of Augustus' unfathomable strength, Frodo simply cast a threatening look at Amaya and then sat back in his chair obediently.

And when Amaya was forced to come to the seat to protect the academy even after the spell of control was lifted.

She suddenly discovered that the perspective on the magic screen had been controlled by Augustus and locked onto a group of five freshmen girls from different races who were teleported into the trial field.

Augustus's old face was covered with dark red dry hair, and his pair of sunken golden vertical pupils were fixedly staring at the timid red-haired half-dragon girl in the picture.

Amaya instantly recalled that the half-dragon creature named Ryuk in the picture seemed to be half-black dragon.

He is a pure-blooded dragonborn like Augustus, but his blood purity is even more exaggerated.
