Understand humans!

How can you be so casual?

Won’t those unrecognized magicians cause chaos?

Uh...it seems like these are not a problem in front of Lady Celia.

"But I have more things to consider than Lady Ceria."

How can we distinguish the relative levels of magicians and then recommend those with relatively high levels to Lady Celia?

Zanze frowned.

"As for Aura, that lazy demon must be in a very bad situation as well."

Thinking this, Zanze walked towards the interview room specially opened for Aura, but happened to meet Aura who opened the door and walked out.

"Are you done?"

"ended."

"It can't be that fast?"

"Why isn't it possible?"

"because--"

I interviewed the same number of people as you did.

Zanze's eyes widened in disbelief.

For the purpose of diversion, she and Aura are each responsible for half of the magicians who visited today. It is not the case that one side has less workload and the other side has more.

Aura also stared at Zanze, unable to understand why this human was so slow. Wasn't it just to determine the level of the magician, a matter that required hands? Did he really have to chat with them one by one?

"Have you concealed your identity well?"

"My horns are well hidden."

Aula pointed at the hat on his head. It was still the familiar wide-horned hat with purple lace. The decoration was so gorgeous and complicated that it perfectly hid Aula's two big horns.

Coupled with Aulana's facial expression which was no different from that of other people, no one would suspect that she was a demon.

Unless—the weirdness in thinking is exposed.

"How do you assess?"

Zanze's heart trembled, and he asked quickly.

"use this."

Aura raised the wand in her hand.

Zanze pushed open the door of the interview room in a panic. As expected, the inside was in a mess, with the smell of burnt magic cannons everywhere, chairs scattered on the ground, and torn robes. It was obvious that the magician who was being interviewed had fled in a panic.

“Aura!!” Zanze grabbed Aura’s collar, lifted it up, raised his head and looked at Aura with a scorching gaze.

"Didn't I tell you not to reveal your identity as a demon?! You know this will bring a lot of trouble."

"I'm not exposed."

Aura tilted her head, not understanding what Zanze was worried about.

"I am just assessing them normally to judge the level of these human magicians."

"Is that how you judge?" Zanze asked harshly as he dragged Aura into the messy interview room that looked like it had just been the scene of a fierce battle.

"Is there a problem?" Aura still didn't understand.

"They showed hostility as soon as they met and used magic to attack humans recklessly. Only demons can do this!"

"If you don't attack, how can you tell the level of magic?"

"What?"

"Those who release magic suppression first and cannot stand up are inferior. Those who attack again and can react and block are qualified. Those who block my first attack and can counterattack me are good. Finally, those who can hurt me in any way are excellent."

“…Is this your testing method?”

"Yes, this is the way the demons distinguish themselves. It's very convenient. But this time, not a single one was qualified."

"Why don't you examine their knowledge? Some magicians who have studied magic deeply may have low practical skills because they haven't fought for a long time."

"You mean, there are magicians in the world who claim to be proficient in a certain magic, but cannot use it fluently in reality? Zanze, you should know that this is impossible."

"Um……"

Now, Zanze really couldn't refute Aura.

How is it possible that you can't use it fluently but claim to be proficient in it?

Each type of magic needs to be performed personally in order to experience the characteristics of the flow of magic power and to understand how the magic circle in the book will affect reality when it is actually constructed with magic power.

Every master of magic theory will repeat a single magic spell thousands or even tens of thousands of times, and then find the correction points through a large number of trial and errors, so that they can be sure to update a magic spell.

There are magicians who are powerful but not good at magic theory, and who only remember how to use magic through their bodies.

However, it is impossible for a magician who is good at magic theory but unable to carry out actual combat, who cannot perform fluent magic perception and magic attack and defense, to exist.

It seems that what Aura said... makes some sense.

"Don't worry, Zanze, you know I can't hurt humans."

“…That’s incredible.”

"what?"

Although it was difficult to agree with this crude method, Zanze's rational analysis told her that Aura's approach was indeed extremely efficient and accurate.

Actual combat is the best standard to test one’s level.

——How could that idiot Aura say such a sophisticated thing? !

Zanze couldn't help but bow his head and admit:

"Aura, you are very wise."

"Yeah, I'm very wise."

Aura grinned.

The above is all Aura's nonsense. She simply enjoys the pleasure of torturing humans.

This is the nature of demons.

So is lying.

Chapter 21: The High-Hats Demonic Death God

The rule of using actual combat assessment to judge magic levels has finally been promoted.

After reading the [Magician Grading and Evaluation System] submitted by Zanze, Celie was extremely satisfied. After her revision, she changed the magician grading system that Aura used to classify human magicians into [Inferior], [Qualified], [Good], and [Excellent] based on actual combat into [Ungraded Magician], [Third-level Magician], [Second-level Magician], and [First-level Magician].

Only first-level magicians are qualified to communicate with Celia about magic. After the communication, those who are recognized by Celia and reward anyone who wants magic can be called [Great Magician].

Becoming a great magician means that one has carved out one's own path in this barren era of human magic, enough to establish one's own school.

By leaving a record here in Celia, the name of the great magician will also be recorded in the history of the development of human magic.

The elves from the mythological age will prove to them that human magic has progressed because of them.

However, after the new assessment method was promoted, major problems arose during its implementation.

This group of human magicians who followed Celia were very powerful and were recognized by Celia. If there was a magician who could fight against them and not lose, he would naturally deserve the title of a first-level magician.

However, fighting is a subjective process.

Human magicians in this era are rare, and most of them fight against foreign races, and have very little experience in fighting against their own kind.

Therefore, when holding a magic wand and facing fellow tribesmen, one cannot help but hold back.

This resulted in many people who were not strong enough to become third-level magicians, but were able to survive the magic suppression because of the examiner's momentary weakness; people who were not strong enough to become second-level magicians, were able to gain the qualification because the examiner was not wary of humans and was hit; people who did not have the ability to become first-level magicians, were able to be interviewed by Celie because they were familiar with the examiner and did not give their full effort.

When these people really stood in front of Celia, they showed their cowardice. Their magic power was weak, their own theories were not perfect, and they could not play any role in the research on the promotion of human magic.

Celia was angry, but there was nothing she could do.

After all, you can't ask human magicians to kill their compatriots just because of a magic level test.

It seems that the phenomenon of leniency in the magic level test is inevitable. The candidates who come to participate in the magic level test have also heard that although the test content sounds very strict, in fact, the examiners will all hold back because they are afraid of accidentally hurting people.

Except for the purple-haired female examiner wearing a tall hat.

Among all the examiners who assessed the magic power of the candidates, there was only one who was merciless and the most ruthless. Every time he suppressed the magic power, it was so overwhelming that the examinees could hardly breathe. Every time he attacked, it was so sinister and vicious that the examinees were exhausted from dealing with it. Every time he deployed defensive magic, it was so solid that even if the magic power was tilted all at once, light could not hurt him at all.

To be honest, when facing her, it didn't even feel like an assessment, but rather like a real fight with demons.

Oh no, they were slaughtered by the demons.

——This is the evaluation given by all the candidates.

The examiner named Aura was strict to the point of being indifferent to the rules. His moves were ruthless, and his pretended murderous intent was thrilling, as if he really wanted to kill them.

This is exactly the same feeling as fighting against demons who have absolutely no regard for human life!

"Lord Aura, you are so fair!"

Since the name of the responsible examiner will be engraved on the certification badge awarded after the magic level test, magicians who have obtained the same level of certification will privately exchange magic experiences with each other and occasionally practice against each other.

Over time, everyone discovered that only the magician with the badge engraved with the name "Aura" had the strength corresponding to his rating.

He truly applies magic to actual combat instead of just talking about theory. After returning to his country, he will be the main force in the fight against the demons and can be entrusted with important tasks.

As for the badges other than the [Aura] assessment, their levels were uneven. In actual combat, they always lagged behind and behaved ugly. In most cases, their magic levels did not match their supposed levels, which was disappointing.

Especially when compared with the magician with the certificate of [Aura], the difference is like heaven and earth.

In the end, the only thing recognized by the nations was the magic level badge with the name of [Aura] engraved on it.

Even Celia had to admit that no one did a better job than Aura in assessing human magicians.

Only the first-level magician who walked out of Aura's examination room was qualified to attract her attention.

Moreover, surprisingly, even though everyone said that the examinations conducted by Examiner Aura were cruel and horrifying, magicians who had passed Aura's examinations rarely got injured.

They were physically intact but mentally traumatized, and their faith was shattered by the trash talk. Some even began to doubt their original intention of learning magic, but more were inspired by those heartfelt words, and threw themselves into the practice of magic with a revengeful mood that bordered on resentment.

These human magicians, who soon made great progress in their magical powers, affectionately called Examiner Aura:

"The Demonic Death God of the Top Hat"

One reason is that examiner Aura's assessment method is similar to that of the demons. Every move is fatal, and the taunts after being defeated are even more soul-piercing. When the examinees are beaten to the point of being unconscious and appearing on a revolving lantern, many magicians reflect on their original intention of entering the field of magic. It is like the god of death judging the hearts of humans at the moment of death.

The second reason is that human magicians who have passed the test of Examiner Aura are more ruthless when facing demons on the battlefield, and are more adept at dealing with the demons' attacks, causing the death of a large number of demon troops, like an invisible scythe of death harvesting.

The purple-haired Grim Reaper with a tall hat - this name has been widely circulated among human countries and demons.

It is really a cause for celebration——

Aura himself did not know this.

It's really sad and lamentable——

Chapter 22 My Favorite Toy

"Uh, shall I be the examiner?"

Aura walked out of Celia's palace with a look of disbelief on her face, wearing a badge with a feather and a staff on her chest.

This was issued by Celia herself, a certificate for being the chief examiner of magic tests in all human countries, and possessing the highest authority to determine the level of every human magician.

How could a demon like her be allowed to hold such a position?

"What about the other human magicians, what about Xanze? Why don't they object?"

The promulgation process just now was not a private decision by Celia, but it gave her the position of chief examiner alone.

But in front of a group of human magicians who have followed Celia for a long time, the other examiners would have let it go, after all, although they have worked with Aura for a long time, they are not clear about Aura's identity as a demon.

But what about you, Zanze, why don’t you say anything?

When Aura glanced at Zanze, who was standing beside her in silence, with a look of surprise, she only gave him an encouraging look in return.
