Chapter Seventy-Nine: Alchemist Promotion Assessment, Main Examination, Completed

With the Fire Elemental Realm (pseudo), Moriarty's alchemy path instantly became extremely wide. Whether it is the problem of elemental affinity that has plagued it for a long time, or the problem of controlling the activity and decay rate of magical elements in the process of alchemy, they are no longer there at this moment. With the blessing of the realm, Moriarty's mastery of elemental details is already comparable to, or even surpassing, Schmidt's.

After another week or so, Moriarty completed the refining of the brute force potion for the first time in the rented room of Hockenheim Academy. However, after the success, Moriarty did not tell anyone, but silently drank the potion, and then carefully recorded the number of changes in his physical condition.

In the months that followed, Moriarty did not conduct any alchemical experiments, instead focusing all his energy on familiarizing himself with and mastering the fire elemental realm (pseudo). After all, this is a secret that will not be seen for a long time. If Moriarty can't effectively control the retraction of the realm, once someone detects the clues, I am afraid it will be difficult to end.

In addition, Moriarty also purchased a "Bloodthirsty" study scroll from Schmidt's studio, which was in response to his uncle's advice and teachings. As for the "weirdness" of Moriarty buying only one study scroll at a time, Schmidt and Heychona father and daughter are strange. However, seeing that he had completed the study of "muddy steps" and "hydrotherapy" in succession, in addition to being amazed, he could only agree with Moriarty's extraordinary talent in the field of spells.

It wasn't until there were two months left before the agreed contract period that Moriarty finally formally applied to Schmidt for a test to become a high-level alchemist.

According to the rules of Hockenheim Academy, the promotion assessment of alchemists can only be presided over by higher-level alchemists, and ordinary mages have no right to interfere, even high-level mages or even grand arcanists. As a fourth-level alchemist, Schmidt has the qualifications to rank first- to third-level alchemists. Therefore, Moriarty only needs to be recognized by a mid-level mage to become an official first-level alchemist, and at the same time officially recognized by Hockenheim.

The venue for the advancement assessment was determined on the main floor of the Schmidt Mage Tower, and four people, including Haiyuna and the other three mage assistants, were allowed to watch live. However, until now, the three low-level mages still couldn't believe that Moriarty would have the courage to challenge the noble status of a first-level alchemist. You know, he's just a mage apprentice. Aside from utter madness or inflated to the point of incredible arrogance, the three assistant mages could no longer think of any other reason to explain the "weird" situation in front of them. However, when they saw that His Excellency Schmidt had accepted this ridiculous and unusual application, the three of them could only stand aside and watch the changes take a closer look. Of course, if some immoral behavior occurs during the test, the three mage assistants will definitely go to expose and report it to the academy officials, even if it will take a huge risk of completely befriending the mid-level mage.

"Alright, Apprentice Moriarty, do you have any questions before we begin?" Looking around, Schmidt stood in the center of the main floor of the tower, looked at Moriarty with a blank face, and asked.

Because he was the chief examiner, Schmidt was dressed in a formal mid-level mage robe, which looked particularly majestic. However, it can be seen that the mood of the mid-level mage today is actually not very happy. Only Haiyina, who was far away, knew how annoyed her father was at Moriarty's request to hold an early alchemist advancement exam. Even, in Schmidt's eyes, Moriarty already has a taste of broken cans.

"No, Your Excellency." Standing in front of the large test bench, Moriarty smiled faintly. …,

And when she saw her lover's smile, for some reason, Haiyna's anxiety gradually calmed down.

According to the rules of the assessment, Moriarty must complete his test within one hour without using any outside help or magic items, otherwise he will be immediately disqualified. And if Moriarty can't pass the promotion exam, he won't be able to apply again within three years.

"So, let's get started." Schmidt nodded, his expression indifferent. The mid-level mage's voice fell, and the magic clock that recorded the time also started the timer.

Glancing at Schmidt and Haiyuna in the distance, Moriarty slowly adjusted his breathing, and then began to build the alchemy circle first.

In the clear and measured sound of the mantra, Moriarty's hands kept tracing from side to side in the assessment area on the test bench. With the continuous flash of magical light on his fingertips, invisible lines, straight or curved, flickered on the inky black table that was one meter square. It wasn't until later, when these "dotted lines" gathered by pure magic power became more and more densely intertwined, and even the entire black assessment area was shrouded in a little light, which looked unusually beautiful.

"It's a beautiful magic array, he eats the equation very thoroughly." About a dozen meters away, Master Shute clasped his hands to his chest and said in a deep voice.

"Yes. The connection of the magic lines is also perfect, almost like painting. The beautiful Nicole Mage was surprised, whispering while her hands kept drawing at the same time, as if she was building a magic circle with Moriarty's movements.

"Oh my God, how much mana does that kid have? In five minutes, he had already spent at least three degrees of magic power building an alchemy array! Ek mage snorted, but quickly drew a disgusted look from Hiyna.

But Schmidt watched Moriarty's every move as if he hadn't heard the buzz coming from behind.

Ten minutes later, when Moriarty had perfectly engraved the structure of the last energy node on the black countertop, a beautiful light flashed, and the alchemy circle of the brute force potion was finally completed.

Exhaling deeply, Moriarty's forehead sweated slightly. Although the alchemy array in front of Mority had already been completely understood and could be built without mistake, after all, it was at the formal assessment site in front of him, and the invisible pressure still brought Moriarty a lot of consumption.

After a minute of rest, Moriarty adjusted himself to the best condition, then placed the magic furnace in the center of the alchemy circle on the countertop, and lit it.

On the other side of the test bench, sixteen groups of raw materials needed to refine brute force potions were already neatly arranged. Moriarty glanced at it and found that the weight of these sixteen sets of materials was no more than a standard part. In other words, as long as Moriarty makes a mistake in any link, then he will be declared a complete failure, and there will be no chance to do it all over again.

"Looks like Uncle Schmidt is really angry." Retracting his gaze, Moriarty lowered his head slightly, and couldn't help but smile.

Because according to convention, there is no strict limit on the amount of materials used by alchemists to assess. In some cases, participants will even be allowed unlimited access to alchemical materials, as long as time permits. However, the current situation has clearly shown that Schmidt, as the presiding officer of this exam, has "ruthlessly" adopted one of the most difficult test conditions. And about this, even the three mage assistants who were watching were a little upset for Moriarty.

However, in the face of the almost difficult assessment setting of a mid-level mage, Moriarty's state of mind was still calm. Now that he already has the Fire Elemental Realm (Pseudo), there is no difference between one standard part and a hundred standard parts in front of him at this moment. …,

Raising his head slightly, he glanced at Schmidt, and Moriarty smiled slightly.

With a thought, the fire arcane core above Moriarty's soul suddenly flashed without light. Then, an extremely faint fiery red ripple began to condense in Moriarty's palm.

"This is..."As if vaguely sensing something, Schmidt's face suddenly changed, his gaze became more severe than ever, and an invisible coercion instantly permeated the entire mage tower.

"Your Excellency, this is?" Although the three mage assistants and Haiyuna could not perceive the slightest abnormality as the intermediate mage, they could clearly feel the tremendous pressure emanating from Schmidt's body.

"Is it true that Your Excellency doesn't want the Moriarty apprentice to pass this assessment and take such radical measures?" For a moment, such thoughts kept recalling in the minds of the three mages.

However, as if he hadn't noticed anything unusual, Moriarty, who had opened the Fire Elemental Realm (Pseudo), took a small bottle of sealed agave juice as usual, then opened the cork, poured it into a glass, and began to debug...

It seemed that he was aware of his gaffe, and the middle-level mage quickly controlled his feelings. However, his keen eyes continued to scan Moriarty's body, hoping to detect anything suspicious or strange.

However, as the Moriarty's refining process continued, one set of ingredients after another was properly blended. Even the so-called "brute force bottleneck" of the "kikograss solution" and "semi-sulfur crystallization" could not stop Moriarty.

When the magic clock reached the thirty-sixth minute, as the last "Burning Daisy" was smoothly thrown into the mouth of the glass, after a brief boil, a standard brute force potion finally appeared in front of everyone.

Picking up the glass, Moriarty slowly poured the pale pink liquid into an empty glass tube, then sealed the nozzle.

"Lord Schmidt, the brute force potion is complete, please review." Gently placing the glass test tube on the side of the test bench, Moriarty took a step back and bowed respectfully to Schmidt.

On the other side, Schmidt's eyes were inexplicably shining. Haiyuna and the three mage assistants in the back were all shocked and dazed
