The next morning, Colin cautiously pushed open the door, sneakily poked his head out, and after finding that there was no one, he crept out of the room, lying on the edge of the fence of the corridor and forgetting a few glances, and then fell sharply from the height of the twenty-second floor, and landed lightly on the passage of the seventh floor.

He was about to push open a door when he heard someone behind him say:

"Senior brother, the teacher told you not to touch the books for three days, why did you forget?"

Colin reluctantly withdrew the palm pressed on the door and turned around: "Hehe, senior sister, I'll see if the door is closed." ”

Tessa smiled and said, "Is it tight?" ”

"Shut it up, close it tight." Colin sneered.

"Since you can't read and study for the past two days, come out with me." Tessa said.

"Where to go?" Colin was curious.

"We'll talk about it on the road." Tessa stretched out her hand to beckon him to follow.

Outside the Magic Tower, a carriage was already waiting on the grounds.

The coachman was one of the servants in the tower.

After half a year of getting along, Colin is already quite familiar with the few people in the magic tower, four servants, two men and two women, and the young man named Bob in front of him is one of them, twenty-six years old this year, who passed the association's junior magician examination three years ago.

In this world, regardless of the level of a magician or a knight, it needs to be assessed and evaluated, just like the certificate and title in the previous life.

The kind of sitting at home meditating, and then suddenly opening your eyes and shouting, "I'm already a third-level Qi cultivator," is completely non-existent.

Of course, the consequence of this is that mid-level magicians are not necessarily stronger than beginners, because some people don't participate in the assessment at all. Or someone like Glenn Knight, who is not allowed to take the test for some reason, has a hard time getting a clear idea of who he is.

Bob holds the title of a full-fledged beginner mage, but as a servant of Roman Sagan's Mage Tower, he and his three companions almost never wear mage robes, but a black tunic with long sleeves to facilitate daily work.

"Good morning, Miss Tessa, good morning, Mr. Wayne."

Bob, who was standing straight next to the carriage, greeted the two horses and asked them to turn in one direction so that they could get into the carriage.

"Good morning, Bob." Colin responded, "Did you eat the fried chicken nuggets last night?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Wayne, it's delicious, and Kelly says Mrs. Muller must have 'accidentally' knocked over the spice jar again." Bob replied with a smile.

"I think so too." Colin, who returned to the Mage Tower after dinner yesterday but still showed off a whole plate of fried chicken nuggets, agreed.

The carriage started and headed for the city.

Colin and Tessa sat across from each other, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Senior sister, is the assessment of the Magic Association next month?" ”

Tessa recalled for a moment, then nodded: "The primary assessment is held every three months, and there will be one next month, what, you want to participate?" ”

"The teacher told me that I had to pass the preliminary assessment within a year, and now half a year has passed." Colin's meaning is obvious.

"With your talent, it's naturally more than enough."

Tessa continued as she reached over to straighten the collar that was rolled up around Colin's neck:

"However, the assessment of magicians is still mainly based on the strength of mental power and the use of spells, and the hard work of the junior and junior brothers is obvious to all, but I found that you don't have much time to meditate every day, are you sure?"

"I want to give it a try first, and if I fail, I can continue next time, right?" Colin asked, somewhat uncertain.

"Of course."

Tessa smiled: "I failed the first intermediate exam last year, and I passed the second time after half a year - in fact, this is the majority, and very few people can pass the exam at the first time." ”

"Isn't Senior Sister ready to attack the high rank?" Colin glanced at the blue badge on Tessa's chest that represented a mid-tier mage.

"I was able to pass the intermediate assessment at the age of 20, which is already a blessing to the teacher, how can I be qualified to delusion so quickly."

A 20-year-old mid-level magician can be regarded as a rarity in the entire continent's magic circle, but because of his reputation as a disciple of Roman Sagan, it seems to have become a matter of course.

Tessa couldn't help but sigh: "I'm actually mediocre in talent, and I can make rapid progress with the help of the teacher when I am at the low level, but once I enter the high level, the role of external forces will become smaller and smaller, even if I am lucky enough to pass the high-level assessment, the strength and level do not match, and I will only make frequent fools and embarrass the teacher." ”

"That's right." Colin nodded knowingly.

"Many times, being a disciple of Roman Sagan is a very heavy burden, and to be honest, my ability is simply not enough to bear this pressure."

Speaking of this, Tessa continued with a relaxed smile, "But it will be good to have a junior brother. ”

"Why?" Colin was stunned.

"With you inheriting the mantle of the teacher, everyone's eyes will be on you, and no one will pay attention to me."

As Tessa spoke, she retracted her hands into her sleeves, adjusted her sitting position to make herself comfortable, squinted slightly, and muttered a little:

"Even if I didn't get promoted to a higher level until I was 40 years old, no one would blame me, which was a really relaxing feeling."

Colin was speechless.

Senior sister, you are young, why do you want to lie down?

And is it really good to say this in front of me?

Tessa also seemed to feel a little inappropriate, sat up straight, and said seriously:

"The primary assessment is divided into three parts: the written test of magic theory; Spell Assessment; and mental power assessment.

"Needless to say, the written test; The requirements of the spell assessment are that you must be more proficient in the use of four different spells, and the last mental power assessment is completed through the illusion tower, which has a total of nine floors, and you can climb to the top within an hour, even if you pass. ”

"Sounds okay." Colin bowed slightly.

"Actually, I've always had a question."

Tessa showed a rare look of curiosity and asked, "How can the junior brother resist meditating for only a short period of time every day?" You must know that after most people awaken their spiritual power, they will take meditation as their main means of cultivation, after all, strong strength is the basic guarantee of a magician. ”

When she said this, she immediately explained: "Of course I don't mean that this is bad, on the contrary, the teacher has praised you in front of me more than once, saying that there are not many magicians who can put the study of elemental theory in the first place. ”

As the only way to enhance mental strength, the importance of meditation for magicians cannot be overstated.

But Colin had a word of suffering.

I would also like to meditate for ten hours a day, and spend the rest of my time training spells, and at this pace, I will be able to move up to the higher ranks.

But no.

Senior brother, this talent of mine is all obtained by compressing the cultivation time.

Fortunately, theoretical study and experimental research are not counted in cultivation, otherwise Colin would probably become the kind of guy who is extremely talented but extremely lazy.

"Does the teacher approve of me doing the same?" Colin didn't expect that the teacher, who almost never asked about learning, was secretly paying attention to himself.

"It's more than approval." Tessa said: "The teacher once said that although the modern magic system greatly enhances the personal strength of the magician, compared with classical magic, it ignores too many elemental studies, and the magician can make the world more colorful, but he only cares about the growth of spiritual power." The teacher had repeatedly called on the magicians of the association not to pay too much attention to their personal strength, but with little success, so they didn't mention it much over the years. ”

Speaking of this, Tessa smiled slightly: "Of course, as the undisputed strongest person in the Tulun Kingdom, the teacher's appeal is indeed not convincing. ”
