The Military Aircraft Department is located at the end of the Champs-Écoupés, and since they rarely go out, they are still very unfamiliar with the environment of the imperial capital. Loras can only determine the approximate direction based on the location marked on the city map. After crossing a narrow alley, the two turned right and finally reached the place.

At this time, the sun had risen overhead, and the two Loras couldn't help but speed up their pace, and the stipulated time for the assessment was coming soon.

Ellie and Loras arrived at the gate of the Military Aircraft Division, and they saw a silver nameplate hanging on the wall to the right of the gate, which stated that everyone except for the candidates participating in the strength assessment was not allowed to enter during the assessment.

"It looks like I ran for nothing. Loras helped the spear behind him, a little disappointed.

"Brother, I'm sorry, I didn't know about such rules beforehand..."Ellie smiled shyly, her silver hair a little scattered by the wind.

"Ellie, come inside, I'll be waiting for you at the door. Loras stroked the girl's hair and said softly.

"Brother, if it's too long, you can go back first, I can do it alone. Ellie said embarrassedly.

Loras pursed his lips, his expression was slightly more serious, and said, "No, last time Filmin was injured by Charlie's despicable guy because he went out alone, and I will never allow that to happen again!"

"Well... Then I'll go first~" The girl waved at Loras, turned around and walked towards the black building opposite.

Watching Ellie's figure disappear behind the door, Loras finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that I have to walk around first, and wait for Ellie to complete the assessment before accompanying her back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Loras tightened his collar, and the weather in the imperial capital was getting colder and colder.

The Military Aircraft Department covers a wide range of areas, and its headquarters are located in the palace. In Grande alone, there are five branches, each with different functions and complementary functions.

The branch where Ellie now lives is a place dedicated to the assessment of the power class, located in a quiet residential area.

Ellie pushed open the dark iron door and walked in, and to her was a little surprised that such an important place was not guarded by guards!

She saw a reddish-brown building with a gray door open in the center of the lowest floor. When she looked closer, she saw a plaque on the door that read "Strength Assessment Institute".

Ellie shook her head vigorously to dispel her fear, took a deep breath, and lowered her head as she was about to push the door open.

"This young lady, please wait. The sudden sound startled her.

Ellie looked up, and at some point, an old man in a white robe appeared in front of the door,

The old man smiled indifferently, signaling that the girl did not need to be nervous, and then said, "You are a candidate who has come to participate in this assessment, right? Please report your name and age, I need to confirm your identity." ”

"Ellie Hugo, fifteen years old. A blush drifted across the girl's fair face, and she replied timidly.

The man looked at her from head to toe with calm eyes, pushed his thin-rimmed glasses, and nodded with a light cough.

"It's about to start, let's get inside!"

——

Ellie walked into the building, her long, dark and narrow hallway making her a little startled, and a faint light peeked through the end.

She quickened her pace and hurried out of the corridor, only to be stunned by what she saw.

In contrast to the gloom of the moment, the end of the cloister was an empty place. This is the interior of the strength assessment center, with a tall pavilion surrounding a large open-air school grounds.

The girl stepped forward, leaning against the guardrail of the pavilion walkway, and looked down at the yellow dust raised from the ground.

The test site is an empty square square with weapon racks, arrow targets, dummies and other objects everywhere, and it is also a place for soldiers to train.

The marble wall is more than five meters high, and on the south-facing side, there is a dark iron gate for people to enter and exit.

"Hey, are you here for the assessment too?" a hoarse, muffled voice rang in Ellie's ears.

The girl turned and saw that it was a thin man of about twenty years of age, whose face was a little frighteningly pale, but he was very tall, and he was looking at her with kindness on his face.

"That's right...... You're supposed to be here to take the mage level test, right?" asked Ellie, noticing that the other party was wearing loose mage robes.

"Ahh My name is Casio and I'm a local, what about you?" the magician smiled kindly at the girl.

Ellie pinned the silver hair on both sides of her cheeks to her shoulders, still looking a little restrained, and whispered, "Ellie Hugo, come to participate in this archer test." With that, she removed the white blue bow from her back and held it in her hand, so as to prove her profession to the other party.

Casio glanced at the short bow in Ellie's hand and suddenly came to his senses, but he couldn't take his eyes off it.

The entire body of the White Blue Bow was filled with cold white light, and as a sixth-order magician, he could naturally easily see the huge energy contained in it. Casio's face turned grim, and with a surprised gaze, he carefully looked at the girl's childish face.

At this moment, the magician's heart was full of questions: "How could a girl who looked no more than sixteen years old have such a rare weapon?"

"That's... Casio. When will the assessment start?Where should we report now?" Ellie saw the other party's thoughts, and immediately put the white blue bow back on her back, opening her mouth to try to divert the other's attention.

"The reception hall is in front, follow me, the appointed time is coming soon, and all the people who come to participate in the assessment are resting in it at the moment. Casio realized his offense and bowed slightly to Ellie, expressing his apologies.

The magician's face was very pale, and his bloodless skin looked very uncomfortable. Casio lowered his head and slightly straightened his azure mage robes, then turned and walked towards the corridor to the left.

The girl nodded silently and took a deep breath. She followed closely behind the tall and lanky magician, her heart full of anticipation and unease.

After a few corners, they finally walked into a warm place.

The reception hall is brightly lit, which is different from the atmosphere outside. A vigorous fire burns happily in the corner, and the air is filled with the aroma of bread and wine. The light blue floral wallpaper with delicate marble carvings also reflects the noble taste of the owner.

On the round table made of mahogany in the center of the hall, there is a large jar of Menghua milk for people to drink, and such a delicate arrangement brings a comfortable and warm feeling to everyone present.

However, to Ellie's surprise, the hall was already crowded with people who had come to participate in the assessment, and they were discussing the hot topics of the moment.
