Magic: My equipment slots have no restrictions

Seeing that his words seemed to have an effect

Elena stepped out from behind Viktor with a composed gait and a smug smile on her lips.

"I apologize for taking up your time. I will continue to answer your questions now."

While everyone else looked worried, Granny quickly managed a smile.

Although she didn't know who the girl following Lord Johnny was, since she had made it into the assessment and hadn't been aged, she must be quite extraordinary.

Suppressing her fear, Granny began a brief explanation:

"Regarding Selene..."

As they talked, everyone moved to the place where the small meeting had been held earlier, but once they arrived, there were no seats available.

Some people reacted quickly and immediately gave up their seats. Victor and Elena also took their seats without hesitation.

While the crowd despised the two men's sycophantic behavior in giving up their seats, they also felt a sense of regret.

"...So, as long as you enter Selene and do not go to the main city, but instead enter the illusion, it will be considered as participating in the magic academy's assessment."

Granny spoke very quickly.

Viktor listened silently, leaning back in his recliner, his eyes calmly fixed on the ceiling.

After the other person explained, he understood what these people were doing there.

He also figured out what the white-haired boy might have wanted to do before.

Aside from wanting to impress the goddess, the most likely reason is to verify whether he is indeed the first special examinee to appear in the academy in hundreds of years.

Yes, it's like a genius that only appears once every few centuries.

If it weren't for my appearance, these people would still be investigating the key figure in the illusion, the one who created the anomaly of the "Land of Smiles".

"We've been in the illusion for about two days now, and the latest development is that we've discovered that the dagger and the church are somewhat related."

While Victor was pondering, Granny also touched on the key point.

He came this time specifically for the dagger, but of course, his main purpose was to help Elena solve the pollution problem.

"That's enough. I understand the reasons behind the assessment and your reactions."

Seeing that Granny still had something to say, Victor interrupted her and straightened up.

He glanced around at the people around him and found that they were all keeping their heads down, as if they were afraid of being noticed by him.

The white-haired boy who had provoked him was now like a human penguin, hiding behind his friend and trying to conceal himself.

"My previous actions were merely a last resort."

Viktor's voice was calm, but everyone instinctively buried their heads closer together, while the white-haired boy was already trembling.

However, this strange atmosphere lasted for less than two seconds before being broken by what Victor said next:

"I roughly know who the key figure you're talking about is."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked up, and it was clear from their slightly furrowed brows that they were not entirely convinced.

Victor wasn't angry and slowly got up.

The crowd subconsciously suppressed their emotions, while some people's breathing became heavier.

"I think if someone has a strong enough will, they should be able to sense the abnormality in my friend right now."

Victor placed a hand on Elena's shoulder and patted her twice.

"..."

Three people's expressions had subtly changed, and they cautiously glanced at Elena.

All three of them had relatively high willpower attributes. As early as when the blonde girl entered, they vaguely sensed that something seemed to be hidden beneath her golden eyes.

However, they were still only twelve or thirteen years old and did not understand what Viktor meant.

"She's been corrupted by some kind of magic, hasn't she?"

While everyone was still pondering, a calm but somewhat stiff voice rang out first.

Viktor looked toward the source of the sound and saw that it was a red-haired girl who was smiling at him.

He raised an eyebrow slightly, wondering when the other person had started standing in the corner and why he hadn't noticed them before.

"I can solve that pollution, but you have to agree to one condition."

The red-haired girl continued, her eyes, which should have been like rubies, were dull and lifeless under the warm glow of the torches in the room.

During the other person's conversation, Victor sensed through [Magic Affinity] that there was nothing unusual about the other person.

However, since the other party said such a thing, they must have some ulterior motive.

"One condition?"

Victor chuckled softly, "Okay."

As she finished speaking, a slight smile appeared on Isabelle's lips. She hadn't expected that this "Johnny," who had been so fierce before, would be so easy to talk to now.

When she first saw the boy, she was somewhat wary of Lynn's presence, but now it seems she was overthinking it.

But before she could reply,

The boy spoke again:

"You heard it too, just help my friend remove the magical pollution and I will grant you one request."

Isabel's face stiffened; she hadn't expected Viktor to say that, and she immediately sensed something was wrong.

Sure enough, everyone looked up at that moment, revealing their curiosity about 'Johnny'.

"..."

Viktor smiled, secretly hoping someone could come up with a solution to the pollution.

With the previous examples of casting spells without a staff or incantation, no one would not be curious about them, especially these fellow examinees who are also magicians.

These people understand their own worth and will definitely choose to take a gamble.

"Lord Johnny, I have three purification stones here that can purify some low-level pollution."

"I have a protective necklace to ward off witchcraft."

"Lord Johnny, I..."

People dressed in expensive clothes started to speak up, and within seconds a competitive frenzy ensued.

Even the white-haired boy from before asked a question.

Unfortunately, several people brought out magical items that seemed to have good purification effects.

However, Viktor's perception revealed that these things were far from meeting the standards for removing contamination.

The black magic beneath Elena's golden eyes had somehow developed into a fist-sized blob of 'ink'.

The only tool these people provided was a piece of tissue paper that could wipe away a corner of the ink.

"So, how about you consider my terms?"

At this moment, Isabel spoke again and took out a high-level purification spell scroll.

"..."

Seeing this, Victor couldn't help but waver.

This scroll is undoubtedly sufficient to remove magical contamination, but this person looks like a strange person. Is he really trustworthy?

In a flash, he suddenly felt his clothes being tugged, and looked down.

The blonde girl looked at them pleadingly and said in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"Victor...Johnny, don't make any more sacrifices for me."

"..."

Victor didn't speak, but simply placed his hand on the boy's shoulder:

Tell me your conditions.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to Isabel.

The red-haired girl's expression remained unchanged: "I want you..."

"Wait a minute."

But just as she was about to state her conditions, a voice interrupted her.
