Witch, don't be so lazy

All magic with offensive capabilities were almost invariably cast towards the snow marble wall. Several examiners who mastered perception magic observed from the surroundings, comprehensively considering multiple factors such as power, release speed, accuracy, etc. to distinguish the proficiency level, and then further subdivided the results into four grades: "excellent, good, average, and poor".

After all, the data is not as intuitive as Tongbao's, but in the exam, we must distinguish between the high and low levels of the same level.

In fact, the process was similar to what An Ke had done in the training rooms of the Adventurer's Guild and the City Lord's Mansion, but she used obsidian walls at that time, which was much harder than marble.

Obviously, these adjustments were made taking into account that the vast majority of candidates are apprentices and the tricks they perform may not be able to cause obvious damage to the obsidian.

Defensive magic is also simple, just take the hit.

What really makes Anke feel interesting is the functional magic, which is divided into different areas according to different schools for special assessment.

For example, the magic trick "Stone Stacking" involves filling ditches during the assessment; the magic trick "Breeze Spell" actually involves artificial pollination in the garden; not to mention the "Flash Spell" and "Mist Spell", just a glance over them reveals that one is filled with light pollution and the other is shrouded in gray fog.

The Chaos School's is a place where a hundred flowers bloom. "Insight" is to describe the magic nodes of different items, "Emotional Perception" is to analyze the staff, "Fragrant Mouth" is to taunt with foul mouth, and "Melodious Rhythm" starts to play the piano...

The judging criteria varied, but the examiners seemed very experienced, and the number of props and venues available at the Arstar City Magic Academy was ridiculous.

Nothing to be surprised about.

Although theoretically this is the first time that a practical component has been added to the magic qualification exam, in reality, most magic academies have practical tests in their semester assessments, and they can be transferred and decentralized with a slight adjustment.

Compared to Encore who looked around curiously, most students' attention was focused on the central venue.

It is a specially designated area, also for testing, but the test is of actual combat, and props are prohibited. It can be simply regarded as an early experience of the spiritual world tour, or it can be said to show an attitude that the caster's combat capability must be up to standard.

However, there is a threshold for actual combat. At least one must have mastered three magic tricks and become a senior magic apprentice before being eligible to participate. Among the thousands of students taking the exam in Asda City, there may be only 20 to 30 who meet this threshold.

According to the Lord of Kunda City, this is to select people for the four first-class universities, and every battle must be recorded with a photo stone.

As academies founded by legends, they have very high requirements. The magic test requires one to be a senior apprentice, and one must also get a rating of "good" or above in actual combat. Otherwise, if you want to be admitted, there is absolutely no chance unless you have extraordinary talent in skills.

For those students who have already become mages, if they can perform well in practical tests, they will be able to receive certain resources when they enter the academy, which can be regarded as an "Outstanding Freshman Scholarship."

therefore.

Whoosh!

A sharp sound of breaking through the air.

The flaming arrow seemed to have consciousness, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, and then suddenly exploded in the air.

Like flowers from iron fire, a rain of fire spread across the sky and fell towards the enemies in front.

Manager Catro, who was in charge of the assessment, said "Huh", smiled, and made a shooting gesture, "Good, you almost scared me."

As soon as the words fell, a wind wall of inconsistent thickness rose up.

The thin ones were used to meet the fire rain from the sky, while the thick ones were formed into a crescent shape in front of the body, blocking another "fire arrow" that appeared at some unknown time.

At the same time, an invisible wind bomb was fired, easily penetrating the defense that the boy had attempted to construct with the "Flame Entanglement" trick.

Kanis wiped the sweat from his forehead and couldn't help sighing.

"Exploding Flame Arrow" was his teacher Deshup's signature mid-level spell. He played a trick and pretended to use a similar move, but in fact, while attracting attention, he used the magic trick "Light Distortion" to hide another flaming arrow.

Unfortunately, his little tricks could not be hidden from the experienced senior wizard, and Carter was from the astronomical school, so he quickly realized that something was wrong and blocked it with a specialized "Strong Wind Barrier".

"Liang, with one low-level spell and two highly skilled specialized cantrips, you're no longer a novice wizard."

Cataro smiled, "The combat ingenuity and responsiveness are also very sharp. I think you all agree."

The surrounding mages all nodded, especially when they saw several silent guards also expressed their agreement, Kanis and Deshup both breathed a sigh of relief.

Good, not bad. Taking into account the talent of the curse pattern, it should be no problem for me to get the lowest level reward of the Crucible Academy.

"Who else is coming?"

Carter stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes sweeping over the people around him.

"Is Mage Demily coming? Or another candidate? If it's Mage Haan, then the examiner will be Mage Keri. I'm not good at making enemies with the School of Earth."

The Celestial School actually had some difficulty competing with the Earth School at a low level, but everyone knew that Catro was modest. As the favorite of President Matica, he had been in important positions in the guild for many years and was very capable.

Unfortunately.

His master posture could not be maintained for long and was broken in an instant.

"I."

Encore appeared in the venue at some point, and the moment she spoke, Catro broke out in a cold sweat, "Is it okay?"

"..."

For a moment, everyone's expression became tense.

Now, if you turn your head and look up at the sky, you can still see the giant tower statue being re-carved. It was done by this little ancestor in front of you.

Even if you say that it was the blessing of a great hero at that time, don't forget how miserable Estherin was a few months ago. Her intestines were ripped open and she was beaten like a dead dog. Even if she was weak, she was still a second-level mage.

"······Can."

Cattra gritted his teeth.

I never imagined that one day, when I was the examiner of the magic test, I would feel like my life was in danger.

However, he was obviously worrying too much.

Because when the start was announced, everyone felt a flash before their eyes, and Castro was hanging in the air, his body seemed to be tightly bound by some rope.

Although he was a big and strong man, he showed some of the sadness and fragility of a young girl when he was shaking weakly in the air.

fleeting.

But no one had time to sympathize with him and was busy whispering to each other.

"Do you understand it?"

"Telekinesis and shadow runes?"

"It seems to be Miss Anke's standard method, but I don't understand. How could Carter disappear at a distance of 32 meters? Why was he able to reach such a distance? A special spiritual talent?"

The first-level examiners present at the scene talked about it in great detail, but in the end they could come to a conclusion and reached a consensus - this was naked fried fish!

So, without any prior agreement, everyone's eyes fell on the few second-level people in charge of coordination.

President Matikka coughed softly and said, "I'm trying to avoid suspicion."

Deshup also followed suit, saying, "I'm from the Fiery Sun School. I know my place, so there's no need to embarrass myself in front of the great hero's Flame Demon Sword."

The head of the Turner family was somewhat tempted, and just as he was about to step forward, the old dean next to him pulled him back and motioned him to look to the side.

Two silent guards who had been working with Momo to test Miss Encore's skills came back and whispered a few words to the others. Then they began to watch intently, as if they hadn't heard anything and were just slacking off at work.

There was no other way. Patriarch Turner had originally intended to walk into the training grounds, but now he turned to the newly returned City Lord Kunda and Momo with incredible grace and bowed.

"Lord City Lord, Miss Momo, and Miss Anke have mastered quite a few spells, covering a wide range of subjects. We know that our experience and level are insufficient, so it is really inconvenient for us to go up and test them..."

He didn't lower his voice deliberately, which caused a commotion around him.

No matter how tactfully it is expressed, everyone can sense the meaning of backing down.

Isn't that outrageous?

You don't even want to play. Are you afraid of losing and losing face?

But it's true, although Cartero has let it go now, this matter might still make people talk about it for a long time. Fortunately, he is only at the first level. If he was at the second level, who knows what his reputation would be like.

"Oh? But Momo is just an admissions officer, not an examiner for the Magic Qualifying Exam."

Momo scratched her face. "Help Momo get a certificate. Can Momo play with Xiaoan? Or let Xiaohui come too~"

She and Xiao Hui looked at the Lord of Kunda City.

The half-elf just shook his head: "No, look."

Yes.

No need, because someone has already gone up.

A gorgeous jazz suit, a neat silk scarf, and a black velvet cloak fluttering in the wind.

Hans raised an eyebrow at Anke and swung the black dagger in his hand:

"Little ghost, I'll give you a tutorial lesson. It's paid. Do you want to come?"

----

There is one more chapter, set off, remember to feed the osmanthus cake, ah~

Chapter 9: Teaching, Separation, and Departure (Part 1) (7600)

How shameless!

Although the lovely Miss Anke had indeed beaten the newbie just now, at best she was only a level two fighter against a level one, and the telekinesis magic she cast was very restrained, about the same as her normal output at level one.

However, now Lao Deng, as a dignified extraordinary wizard, and seemingly not an ordinary fourth-level wizard, actually wants to bully a weak little girl and is even shameless enough to charge her.

Is there any justice or law in this?!

Anke stared at Hans with wide eyes, then nodded heavily.

She wanted to see what the old man meant by "guidance". She didn't want him to beat her up under the pretext of "telling her not to be proud" and then pretend to be sophisticated and say, "That's all you can do. Practice more." That would be too lame.

If that were true, let alone giving him money, she would laugh at Lao Deng for the rest of her life.

Because the candidates and examiners on the field were rather special, the second-level group who were originally responsible for acting as referees tactfully stepped aside and handed the position over to Kunda and Momo who stepped forward.

With the sound of a bell, it was as if a trigger had been pulled, and the battle was about to begin.

Encore was the first to strike.

She had no intention of showing any mercy. Invisible mental power extended from the ground, and suddenly a bright red light rose up along the way. Together with the noisy whirlwind, it formed a low-profile Flame Demon Sword and slashed straight at the old man's body.

At the same time, the girl's eyes moved, and she launched a shock attack along her line of sight.

Telekinesis, Holy Flame, Broken Steel, and Judgment, each of the four spells was almost instantaneous, and the connection was very natural, it looked like they were cast at the same time.

The combination of the first three spells created such a tremendous noise that the mages and apprentices present were stunned.

Although they had seen the girl's battles with the Abyss Serpent and the Skeleton Dragon on the photo stone or at the scene, they all knew that it was most likely the blessing of the remaining soul of the great hero, but now it was the girl who cast the spell alone.

Especially Matika, Deshup and others, on the one hand, they were stunned to find that Anke was actually a second-level one, and on the other hand, they put themselves in the enemy's side and suddenly realized that the pressure they had to bear was much greater than they had imagined.

Although everyone was afraid of being humiliated and made excuses not to act as an examiner, no one really thought they would lose. They were just worried about not using their trump cards and taking safety into consideration, which made it more difficult to deal with.

But looking at it this way now, especially after knowing that Anko also has a powerful "Soul Shock" spell, let's think about it, it seems... without props, it may not be possible to win.

I just don’t know where the old man who is now acting as the examiner came from. No one knows him, but judging from the attitudes of Kunda City Lord and Miss Momo, he should be a very powerful wizard.

However, the changes on the field were far beyond everyone's imagination.

The old man staggered, as if he was under a controlling spell and couldn't move. He let the huge red flaming sword sweep out and chop down straight at him, and it seemed that it was about to engulf his body. But before he could cry out in surprise, something strange happened.

laugh--

Like a blade cutting through brocade, with a flash of dark light, the Flame Demon's Sword, which had been so powerful a moment ago, was now like a fire that had burned out all the firewood, or a river that had stopped flowing. Its power dropped almost precipitously and could no longer be sustained.

The originally violent whirlwind seemed to have lost its power, with only some air masses that had not yet dissipated; the once blazing red flames had now turned into scattered flames.

If its power before was enough to rival a powerful offensive mid-level spell, now it is at most a most common low-level spell, and may not even be comparable to the "Fire Arrow" that Kanis just cast.

Even so, when the disintegrating Flame Demon Sword fell, the staggering old man quickly lost color, becoming gray and dark, or rather, the false shadow began to collapse as the light and fire approached.

An Ke's expression also changed.

It wasn't because he realized the opponent was fake, but because he was shocked that his spell was interrupted, and something quickly attacked him in his peripheral vision -

Three pitch-black blades, with sharp sounds of breaking through the air, shot towards the weakest part of the mental shield at very tricky angles, like a stick hitting a snake's weak spot, accurate and deadly.

嗞。

Just like pouring a large spoonful of water into hot oil in a pan, the black hidden weapon moved rapidly in the air, and itself collapsed synchronously, and finally spread out like ink and disappeared.

Only the frightened girl was left, staring at the shadow that dissipated only two inches away from her.

It’s correct, very accurate.

Unfortunately, the snake was a python, and the value was a bit too high. Even if the wooden stick hit the seven-inch point, if it was not hard enough, the final result would only be that it would break in half.

The tricky shadow dart didn't even manage to penetrate the shield. However, if it had been strengthened a little more, such as combining three hidden weapons into one, the outcome would have been different. Miss Anke's face or shoulder would most likely have been left with a bloody wound.

"The adjustments are good. All three directions were able to be reinforced in a short period of time. It seems that you do have some attainments in telekinesis magic, and you have a lot of capital. No wonder you dare to act so recklessly."

In a corner of the trial field, the light and shadows were distorted. Hans raised his eyebrows, and the sound of muttering in his mouth could be heard clearly.
