Understand humans!

Just as the candidates expected, after all the human magician candidates left the venue, Aura burst into tears.

It was heartbreaking and desolate. If a human magician saw it, he would sigh that examiner Aura was really a good examiner who was conscientious and caring about his students like his own children...

"You guys are so fucking..."

"Why?!

"You want to humiliate me in this way!!"

"Just wait! I, Aura, have nothing in common with you all!!"

-

"You're actually applying defensive magic to clothes? That's a good idea."

After receiving the certificate of a first-level magician, Crittobi came to Celia's palace to meet this elf who was said to possess endless magic.

Crittobi's heart trembled when he saw at a glance the magic he had perfected with his lifelong learning.

It’s really strong.

He bowed his head and said:

"This is all Lord Aura's advice."

"Oh?"

"Six years ago, during the assessment of the third-level magician, Master Aura pointed out that my magic was too complicated and wasted my huge magical talent, so I focused on the application and transformation of basic magic..."

"Go on."

"Five years ago, when I faced off against Lady Aura again in the examination hall, she used her actions to tell me the loopholes of defensive magic. That is, a shield in the form of pure energy cannot perfectly resist physical attacks, and the tactics of using defensive magic in battle are far superior to dodging. Therefore, I combined what I learned in the past five years, reconstructed the principles of defensive magic, and achieved the current tactics."

"Interesting~ but not useful enough."

"I see."

Critobi nodded. He was mentally prepared for this. His magic was just a re-application of basic magic. Although it had powerful combat power, it could not be regarded as a new branch of the human magic system.

It was enough for him to be honored as a first-class magician. He did not ask for the title of great magician bestowed by Celia.

That wasn't why he came to see Celia.

Critobi bowed to Celia. After being denied the qualification of the Great Magician, he did not intend to stay any longer and was about to leave. But before leaving, he had something to say to Celia:

"I know that my talent is limited. Although I have enough magic power, I am too dull in studying magic theory. If I rely on myself alone, I am afraid that I can only reach the level of a second-level magician in my lifetime."

"Well, your spirit is commendable. Do you want any reward? I'm in a good mood, so I'll make an exception and give you a magic you want."

"No, I don't need any magic. Basic defensive magic is enough for me to study for my whole life."

"Then what do you mean?"

"I want Lady Celia to convey my gratitude to Lady Aura. I didn't express it to her before..."

"Eh? Do you really want to thank her?" Celia's eyes showed a playful look, and she said softly: "But I'm afraid Aura won't be happy about this."

"Did I disappoint her again?" Critobi's eyes dimmed for a moment. He knew that he relied on luck to break through the defensive magic and attack examiner Aura in the assessment. This achievement was not worthy of that person being proud of him.

The loss didn't last long, and Critobi's expression brightened.

"I understand. I will work harder!"

Yes, I was too complacent.

"The purple-haired Grim Reaper with a flat hat", "The impartial examiner who is as impartial as a scale", "The instructor of all first-level human magicians"...

Lord Aura has countless titles and his contributions to mankind are remarkable...

I am just a magician who has just obtained the first-level qualification. How can I be qualified to call myself her disciple?

Chapter 26: Does it have anything to do with me?

Celia watched Kritobi leave with indifference in her eyes.

Letting the demon serve as the chief examiner was actually a helpless move due to the fact that the human examiners at the time showed mercy. Unexpectedly, Aura did a better job than anyone else.

"But this is probably not what you meant, Aura."

Celia grinned, she really found it funny.

She had seen many stupid demons in her long life, but this was the first time she had seen one so stupid and refined.

Ah... no, it can't be called stupid.

Aura was actually very wise - Celia also agreed with this.

The difficulties she dealt with human magicians and the harsh design of her magic tests made the human magicians who had passed the tests show unprecedented combat proficiency on the battlefield, greatly reducing the death rate of human magicians in battles with demons.

If any human being were to do this...

Even if Celia did it herself, she had no confidence that she could do better than Aura.

"Aura, you are so smart."

“I just can’t understand humans.”

"When you can truly understand humans, you might become their greatest enemy."

Celia sighed. She was also amazed at the creativity of this purple-haired demon and the wonderful ideas that came out of his seemingly mentally ill head.

Perhaps this is what people commonly refer to as "great wisdom appears foolishly".

Celia is looking forward to that day - when Aura can truly understand humans, what kind of wonderful expression will she have on her face~~

There were tiny ripples in her heart, but they were quickly covered up by the numbness worn away by time, and Celie's mind returned to normal.

This huge palace was huge and empty, with only her there. Apart from that, there were densely packed books that filled the walls.

Celia's body floated up to the middle of the tall wall of books, and she moved slowly along the circular path, as if searching for something.

Finally, she found a plan that had been abandoned many years ago in a gap.

【Mainland Magic Association】

In Celia's long life, she had naturally countless inspirations, and the idea of ​​creating a unified organization for all the magicians on the continent had also popped into her mind.

But this is too much trouble.

She hadn't planned to do this.

"However, if a lovely disciple begs me to do it, maybe I will relent."

Celia had never met a disciple who made such a wish to her.

"But in the end, it was a hateful disciple who helped me accomplish this?"

Because of Aura's presence, the prerequisites for establishing the Continental Magic Association have been met - widespread reputation among all magicians and authority recognized by all countries.

Now, this idea that once troubled her can be easily realized.

"Aura, among my disciples, although you are not the smartest one, you are indeed the most satisfactory one."

"Pfft-"

Celia couldn't help laughing. She hadn't been so happy for hundreds of years.

"How many thousands of years has it been since we encountered something so interesting?"

"It's really exciting to see the look on Aura's face when I announced the candidate for the president of the Magic Association."

-

"Have you heard that Lady Celia is going to establish a continental magic association to unify all the magicians of mankind?"

"It's true. The king has issued a decree, officially recognizing the existence of this organization."

"Oh my god, has the number of human magicians reached this level?"

“It’s time to set up an independent organization.”

"........."

As Celia expected, her and her disciples' reputation had reached its peak.

All this is thanks to the recognition of magic proficiency assessments throughout the world. Ninety percent of the prestigious magicians in various places have obtained certificates from Celia's assessment system.

This led most humans to associate the newly established Continental Magic Association with the highest level of magic.

Many magicians came to the Continental Magic Association on the day it was founded, and 70% of the magicians joined the Continental Magic Association at its branches across the country.

The purpose of these magicians joining the Continental Magic Association, in addition to wanting to obtain more magical knowledge from the oldest legendary elven magician, Celia, is also to receive guidance from the world-renowned examiner Aura.

After all, every time this gentleman attacked, he aimed directly at the candidate's vital points. It was as if he had fought against the demons tens of millions of times. Lord Aura knew the demons' fighting methods very well and could use them with ease.

It's just like she is a demon!

Under the guidance of Lord Aura, you can always get huge rewards.

Being recognized by Examiner Aura is considered the highest honor by all human magicians.

-

Continental Magic Association, headquarters.

It was late at night, but in Celia's palace, candles were burning everywhere, the light was not dim, illuminating the entire spacious palace.

Celia and her followers gathered in front of a huge square table, waiting quietly.

Aura huddled in a corner, unable to believe that such a major decision concerning all human magicians would actually involve himself, a demon.

Although... only Zanze and Celie knew her identity as a demon.

But Aura still curled up in the darkness, trying his best to eliminate his own presence.

"Aura, Master Assessor, hello."

"Hello, hello—"

"Lord Aura, I am the first-class magician you once interviewed. Do you still remember me?"

"Hello, hello—"

"Lord Aura, do you think there are any omissions in this resolution regarding the subjugation of the demons?"

"Hello, hello...get out of here!"

"Awu..."

Aura's eyes were filled with fear and her nerves were tense, like a goldfish that had been taken out of the fish tank and placed on the cat litter. Any slight movement would make her jump.

She didn't understand why these humans came around one by one and asked her questions.

Wouldn't it be better to leave her alone?!

Please, please stay away from me! I don’t want to be stared at by humans like this!! Why are you looking at me like this!!

Am I Aura some kind of highly respected human hero? ?

"Cough-cough-"

Zanze coughed lightly, and unlike Aura who sat at the bottom seat, she sat down to the right of Celia, who was in the main seat. She also looked at Aura with a puzzled look, who was not sitting in the first seat to Celia's left.

But Aura must have her own reasons for sitting like this~

Zanze didn't care about her anymore.

He coughed, reminding all the magicians to be quiet, as Lady Celia was about to announce important matters of the Continental Magic Association.

"The Continental Magic Association was officially established a week ago. This will surely become a day that will be remembered in the history of human magic."

"It's just that the Magic Association's president has not been decided yet. I know you all want me to be the president."

"But I'm not interested."

Celia was still as arrogant and lazy as ever.

She paid no attention to the human magicians who followed her.

Rather than saying that she spent a lot of effort to establish the Continental Magic Association, it would be more accurate to say that this immortal elf, at a boring moment in her endless life, casually built a toy with the materials around her just for fun.

Celia seemed to not care at all about the development and future of the Continental Magic Association.

——At least on the surface.
