Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 583 Cruel Senior Magician Assessment
  fail…!
  What do you mean?
  Will ritual magic fail?

Hearing Qiaoceline's words unexpectedly, Natalie was uncontrollably shocked again.

At first, she was shocked because this senior once again saw through her thoughts and gave her an answer.

Later, he was surprised by the content mentioned in the other party's words.

"Just like when you first learned magic, failure to use magic successfully is a failure."

Noticing the girl's surprise and confusion, Qiaoceline thought for a while, and finally explained succinctly

"Eh…?"

Seeing that the little girl was still a little confused, she quickly pulled Natalie to a place where the audience was not greatly affected. While motioning the Suzuran student to look to the center of the field in front of her, she began to explain again: "Have you seen the large magic circle on the ground? The special material on it does not support the user to draw the entire magic circle pattern. As long as the material preparation is not sufficient, or the user fails to draw the central pattern in one go, the magic will fail. .”

"Then what happens if it fails...?"

With Jocelyn's help, Natalie finally saw clearly the situation in the center of the field.

But after seeing it clearly, she couldn't help but have a new question, and couldn't help but look at the knowledgeable mage beside her with concern.

"If you still have a backup of the materials, you can start again before the end of the exam. If you don't prepare enough materials..."

At this point, Qiaoceline did not continue, because the latter ending, the candidate in the center of the venue, had already been shown to all the audiences present.

"how so…?"

Seeing the candidate lowering his head, silently packing up the test props and eliminating the remaining traces of magic, Natalie first subconsciously covered her mouth, and then looked away unbearably, unable to imagine that the candidate was at this moment. Mood.

She subconsciously looked around, only to find that most of the nearby spectators didn't seem to be much touched. After the initial surprise, the vast majority of people quickly returned to the calm and indifference they had before the exam began, just like what happened just now. The thing is an ordinary thing.

"Frankly speaking, this is not a particularly rare thing in the magic level assessment of senior magicians. Insufficient preparation of materials, insufficient understanding of ritual magic itself, or failure to complete the drawing and carving of the magic circle pattern can easily lead to The reason for the failure of magic. Therefore, this is also the reason why the number of intermediate magicians on the mainland is extremely large, while the number of high-level magicians and above has plummeted."

Noticing the obvious emotional changes on the little girl's face, Qiaoceline first sighed almost inaudibly, then returned to her previous calmness and indifference, and truthfully told Natalie part of the situation she knew.

Of course, what she didn't say was that except for the small group of gamblers who want to get promoted by betting on luck, the vast majority of candidates who can come here to take the magic level assessment have a certain foundation before taking the exam. of.

In other words, what they see in the audience is relatively optimistic. Those who are not optimistic and do not have enough learning resources are actually not qualified to come here to take the exam.

Looking at the figure in the center of the field who never raised his head and looked directly at the audience, and the behavior of some onlookers who were dissatisfied and threw cold water on the opponent and expelled him, Natalie only felt more and more sad.

For a moment, she wanted to ask the Magic Level Assessment Department why they set up such a difficult test, but when she thought of Senior Magician, a magic level that had a certain prestige in itself, she finally suppressed her thoughts and returned. He came to Qiaoceline's side and began to maintain his silence like other members of the audience. "Okay, when the other side is over, it will be Maxwell's turn, shall we go back?"

Glancing nonchalantly at the candidate who had removed the magic circle pattern and started to sort out the magic props, Qiaocelin quickly withdrew her gaze and turned her head to suggest to Natalie beside her.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, she failed to wait for the little girl's response.

Seeing the other party's appearance, Qiao Silin suddenly understood. She knew that the other party had not yet recovered from the failure just now, and she also knew that her words just did not have the expected effect.

So, sighing in her heart again, Qiaocelin tried to comfort her again: "Actually, we can think about it from another angle. Although he failed this time, this failure will help him accumulate corresponding experience. In other words , when he takes the exam again next year, it is very likely that he will not make the same mistake again. So it doesn’t matter, this failure is not fatal, and there will be many opportunities to do it again in the future.”

"OK…"

After recalling what she knew about the frequency of magic level assessments, and the scene where the loser packed up his belongings and silently left from the side door, Natalie finally did not let the emotion stay on her face for too long, and hurriedly gathered her thoughts and followed Jocelyn returned to their location.

At this time, in another examination area not too far away from the two of them, a magician successfully outlined the last stroke of the magic circle pattern and successfully released the magic he had carefully prepared.

Call ~
  With a sudden cool breeze blowing by her ears, a sound similar to the striking of a wall clock in the square echoed uncontrollably around her.

"Cover your ears! It's probably that someone on the other side didn't control the intensity of the long-distance sound transmission magic, which caused some of the magic effects to overflow."

Before the next wave of magical influence arrives, a simple barrier is placed around them to isolate them from outside influences.

"OK…!"

Listening to the senior's hurried words, Natalie quickly focused her attention and followed the mage's instructions without compromise, raising her hands to cover her ears.

buzzing...

After a while, the sound of being noisy or whispering came again, but it was different from the sudden encounter before. This time Natalie was not greatly affected. She only vaguely felt that there was a sound outside. The world has regained its peace.

"It seems that this side also failed. If I'm not wrong in my estimation, Maxwell should be next."

This state lasted silently for a while, and just when Natalie was still wondering why this magic had affected them for so long, she heard Jocelyn beside her speak again.

Almost at the same time, the magician who had successfully activated the magic circle just now put away his magic somewhat to her surprise. Like the previous candidate, he silently put away his magic after cooperating with nearby staff to eliminate the impact. There were props related to this magic demonstration and assessment beside him, and he bowed deeply towards the auditorium with the most people...
