"At the end of the written test, everyone immediately put down their pens, otherwise they will be treated as cheating."

An invigilator with a red badge on his chest scanned the exam room with a sharp gaze, trying to find some unlucky ghost with a lucky heart.

Fortunately, no one overturned on such details.

There was a wail in the examination room.

"Damn, I only did 600 questions."

"Yes, I didn't finish half of it."

"In order to ensure accuracy, my teacher asked me to spend all my time on the first 400 questions, which I think is the most efficient."

“……”

One person's test papers add up to the thickness of several dictionaries, and half a bottle of ink alone has to be used, and many people have changed several quills.

No one can do it all.

Colin looked at the blank space with more than 100 questions left, and sighed helplessly.

The teacher is so amazing, he doesn't give people a way to live at all.

Fortunately, the requirements for the written exam have been reduced year by year with the resignation of Roman Sagan.

1,000 questions, 1,000 points.

Nowadays, as long as you reach 300 points, you can pass it.

This requirement is really not too high, and even if you pass with a full score, it will not let you go straight to the intermediate level, after all, the main focus of the assessment is the later spell assessment and mental power assessment.

When he entered the examination room, Colin didn't observe well because of his mental concentration, and now that the exam is over, he has the leisure to look around.

silently counted the number of people and found that there were only 19 candidates in the huge examination room.

The Tulum Kingdom Magician Association has 7 test centers across the country.

A beginner mage assessment is conducted every 3 months.

If 19 people are taken as an average, then only 133 people in the country participate in the assessment every 3 months, and according to the actual 50% pass rate, the country can only produce 266 beginner magicians every year.

That's a pitiful number.

Of course, it is undeniable that there will be many people who do not participate in the assessment due to various reasons such as long distances, and the number of these people may even exceed the former.

Colin saw Kress in the crowd, but the latter avoided making eye contact with him.

……

"Rest for half an hour, and then take a spell assessment."

The invigilator waited for the staff to collect all the candidates' papers, then dropped a sentence and turned to leave the examination room.

Half an hour later.

Another female examiner in her fifties walked in and led everyone to an open field.

The wooden sign erected next to it clearly reads: Trial Ground 25.

"The requirements are very simple, cast four different spells, each spell has three chances to cast, and if you reach a certain level of proficiency, you can pass the level."

As if in a hurry to get off work, the examiner of the association took out a piece of paper with the list of all candidates without pause, and began to read:

"Saul Howard."

"I'm here, lady......" A dark-skinned man in his thirties walked out.

"Walk up to 20 steps in front of me and start casting spells, in the order and for the duration you decide, but remember that there are 18 people behind you, don't waste your time."

"Yes, ma'am."

This is obviously not the first time that the man named Thor has come, and he walked to the prescribed position familiarly, took a deep breath, and then slowly raised one hand.

Colin looked at it seriously and muttered, "Spring shoots are blooming." ”

Really.

In the next moment, on the dirt in front of Thor, many cone-shaped mounds rose one after another, these mounds were about knee height, and the thickness and length were easily reminiscent of huge spring bamboo shoots.

This is a typical earth-based spell, which is very practical on the battlefield and in battle, and the difficulty is not low.

The next three spells are "Fire Dragon", "Cloud and Rain", and "Sandstorm".

The last one is a compound spell, which can be counted as both earth and wind.

Although the assessment does not require the difficulty of the spell itself, in order to make a good impression on the association, most people will still come up with the spell that they are best at and relatively advanced, just like although there is a passing line in the written exam, everyone will get the highest score possible.

Colin had a rough idea of what the spell evaluation required.

The next few people didn't have much of a surprise.

In fact, this stage can be fully prepared at home, so few people will fall into this stage.

After Colin looked at a few people, his interest decreased a lot, and his gaze spread around.

The Wizards' Guild is bigger than he imagined, and I'm afraid it will occupy half of the entire mage area, and all of it is blocked by a tall fence to prevent unrelated people from entering.

He suddenly wondered where Anne was every time she stole ice.

In his thoughts, he heard a familiar name.

Cress?

Is it his turn?

Only then did Colin realize that the assessment was nearing its end.

I don't know if it was deliberately arranged, but he turned out to be the last of the 19 to play, and Kress was in front of him.

Pulling back his thoughts and carefully reading Kressie's assessment, Colin nodded slightly.

The spell difficulty of the other three divisions is medium, but it is considered excellent among the previous 17 people.

But only for fire-based spells, he chose a "lava spell" that was quite difficult for beginner magicians.

The hot and irritable magma gurgled out of the cracked hole in the ground, and the scorching breath cheered everyone, including Colin, as he unconsciously took a few steps back.

If this spell were to be put in the hands of Lord Harris or a magister, it would probably be more than enough to destroy a village.

Although the volume and temperature of the lava cast by Kress were far from that level, it was indeed quite remarkable as a mage who had taken the beginner exam for the first time.

Colin couldn't help but nod secretly, and at the same time knew the other party's intentions.

As a disciple of "Fire and Thunder", if you can't have outstanding performance in fire spells, I'm afraid that even the teacher's face won't look good.

"Colin Vane."

After hearing the examiner read out his name, Colin responded like everyone else, and walked to the venue.

As he passed by the female examiner, Colin identified the red badge on her chest as a high-ranking magician, and a smile of encouragement appeared on her face, which had been serious from the beginning.

Is this special treatment?

Because he knew that he was a disciple of Roman Sagan, the people inside the association also took extra care of themselves?

But it's a little too obvious.

Instead of being happy, Colin felt a lot of pressure.

My sister is right, a teacher's reputation can often become a burden.

For example, today, if you can't pass the assessment, it is estimated that you will soon become a joke in Thunder City.

Colin preoccupied walked to the appointed place.

However, when he passed by Kress who was walking back, this fellow, who had not made eye contact with him all day, actually glanced at him and snorted imperceptibly.

Well?

How?

A little "lava" will make you float?
