My Magical Card Tavern

He wore no robes, no ornaments, and held no staff. His clothes, from head to toe, were clearly of ordinary, medium quality, and had nothing to do with the half-copper coin that was associated with magic.

But seeing the state of the Mage's Guild, Ginnell became even more convinced that there was money to be made here.

"Hello, I would like to receive the subsidy issued to magicians. What procedures are required before that?"

The receptionist was also stunned by this sentence, but fortunately she was quick-witted and immediately took the document out of the counter.

"First, I need to check your magician certification and verify that you did not receive the subsidy within the specified time."

"I'm embarrassed," Gianna said.

"Actually, I'm not a magician yet. Do I need to complete an identity verification process before proceeding?"

The receptionist gasped, realizing she had encountered a problem in her career.

"Not a magician?"

"Then why did you choose to come to the Mage's Guild to collect your subsidy?"

"The Adventurers' Guild said the subsidies here are higher, so I came," said Genelec.

The receptionist took another deep breath.

"Let me confirm first, are you sure you are a magician?"

Gianna nodded, and the receptionist pondered for a moment before pulling out another sheet of paper from under the counter.

"Fill out the form, register at the magician identification office on the left, and then a staff member will lead you to the training ground."

"After confirming that you are indeed a magician, come back here to fill out another form, and then you can collect your subsidy according to the rules and regulations."

After thanking the receptionist, Ginnell went to the office as instructed.

Not long after, a somewhat mature-looking mage walked towards Ginnar, his tone filled with curiosity.

"Mr. Genelec, right? I've heard about your situation."

"Please follow me, the verification process will begin immediately."

In just a short while, the Mage Guild members, who had nothing to do and were also slacking off, all learned of an interesting story.

Someone heard that the Mage Guild offered good benefits, so they came specifically to verify their identity and receive subsidies.

While the stereotype that mages are rich is indeed widespread in the world of Pangu, this is the first time I've seen someone so openly interested in getting subsidies in real life.

How could you miss out on this kind of fun!

When Genelec arrived at the testing grounds, the area was already filled with young people from the Mage Guild, and the number was still increasing.

The leading mage chuckled sheepishly.

"I'm sorry, have I caused you any trouble?"

"If their presence causes you psychological problems, you can ask them to leave according to the exam procedures."

Genele waved his hand magnanimously to indicate that it was not necessary, and then asked.

"How exactly is the test conducted?"

The examiner nodded approvingly and explained.

"First, we need to determine whether you, Mr. Genelec, possess magic power and what level your magic power reserves are at."

"What you see before you is our guild's miniature mage tower. Once you infuse it with magic, you can light up the mage tower layer by layer."

"Lighting up one layer proves that you possess one-star level magic power, and so on."

Genele asked in confusion, "What do you mean? Having my magic power illuminate the mage tower doesn't prove I'm a one-star mage?"

The examiner shook his head.

"Just like I said, that only proves that you possess magic power at the level of a one-star mage."

"The certification of a magician will also be determined by a comprehensive evaluation of the results of the magic test to be conducted later."

Ginnell understood and, following the examiner's instructions, placed his hand on the mage tower in front of him.

With a hum, pure magic quickly filled the bottom layer and surged rapidly and steadily toward the second layer.

Even after the second level of the tower was filled, Giannai's expression remained steady, while the examiner beside him changed from a serious and earnest expression to one of approval and appreciation.

Considering Ginnell's age and her complete ignorance of the basic common sense of the Mage Guild, possessing two-star level magic power is already at a genius level.

But when a layer of golden light suddenly appeared in the magic, the examiner's expression changed again.

That is......

Holy Light?

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Ginnell immediately removed his hand, and the examiner looked at him as if he were a monster before immediately beginning to examine the test tower.

"Um......"

The examiner hesitated for a moment, then finally said in a helpless tone.

"Mr. Genelec, after testing, you possess two-star level magic power."

"Of course, I'm talking about magic, not the holy light mixed in."

"If you still had the battle aura honed by warriors, this testing tower might have to be taken down and inspected on the spot."

Judging from the momentum just now, if we include the Holy Light as well, it should be able to fill three layers of the test tower.

It was like taking an exam. Ginnell got two stars in magic, and then the Holy Light next to her came over and asked if she could get extra points.

strange.

Ginnell hummed in agreement, but did not say anything that would distort the examiner's values.

He really does have a temper when it comes to fighting.

After all, the first card and the first extraordinary system he encountered in this world was a warrior-related class.

"The magic rating is two stars. Next up is the magic test phase."

The examiner said, "Please cast your spells at the targets on the field. If it's a buff spell that affects your own side, you can target me."

"Of course, Holy Light spells cannot be recorded as exam scores."

This is, after all, the Mage Guild. Although the Holy Light Church and the Mage Guild have always had a good relationship, they can't joke around during the assessment.

The examiner said gently, "Rest assured, Mr. Genelec, your talent is absolutely top-notch, even in Silver Star City."

"Even if you don't have much skill in magic, you can obtain a magician's qualification by studying at the Magicians' Guild for a period of time."

"During this period, I will apply to the guild for your study allowance, and in my personal capacity..."

boom!

With a surge of magic, Ginell raised his hand and hurled a fireball the size of a carriage wheel at the target. The explosion, along with the flames, engulfed most of the training ground.

With just this one move, the onlookers who had been making a ruckus because of the appearance of the holy light suddenly fell silent, their eyes blinking rapidly.

It was as if I had seen something incomprehensible.

The examiner's eyes widened.

The Great Fireball spell is not a rare or unusual spell, and its flight speed is only considered excellent.

What the examiners couldn't understand, and what the young onlookers also couldn't understand, was the speed at which Genelec cast his magic.

The time from raising his hand to the fireball hitting the target and causing an explosion seems far too short.

The standard procedure is to construct the essence of magic with magic power and then release the magic.
