Inside the Royal Academy of Magic, a large circular table sits in the huge conference hall.

Crystals glowing with a pale blue glow float in the air, emitting a powerful magical aura beneath their uneven shapes.

Nine chairs were placed around the round table, and Dean Rachel sat in a position facing the door.

He touched his long, pale beard and took a deep breath.

Glancing at the professors around the round table, he finally fixed his gaze on Victor.

When he saw the shining parliamentarian logo on his chest, he smiled.

"Professors, final exams are coming soon."

In the minds of every professor, it is understood what the final exams of the college mean.

It is the most fair and powerful way to test the students of the entire college.

Every year, the final exam of the college will be reported by a lot of media, and the whole country will pay attention to the results of the candidates.

This is an exam paper that will affect the future of mage students who are nearing graduation.

Although those noble mage apprentices with better conditions don't care about whether they pass the final score at all.

But there are still most civilian candidates, and this assessment will become a shortcut for them to achieve their dreams.

Yard Mage.

It belongs directly to the royal family and is the strongest mage group in the empire.

In the final assessment of the Royal Academy of Magic every year, those with good grades have the opportunity to be directly admitted to it.

And the members of the Yad Mage Regiment are numerous and complex.

Whether it's a combat-oriented mage or a healing and buff-focused one, as long as you have enough strength, you can shine here.

"So, professors, are you ready for this year's final exam questions?"

The professors looked at each other with some embarrassment on their faces.

They did prepare the questions for the final exam, but they never expected an event as significant as the Demon War to happen in the Academy.

The professors used the questions for the exam according to their normal teaching hours.

But because of the last war, the academy was destroyed, and the students were forced to take a long vacation.

And during that vacation, the professors could not go door-to-door to hand out assignments.

As a result, the students had a very relaxing time.

Although there are many students who will ask foreign teachers to make up for classes, there are still many civilian students who do not have this condition.

If you continue to use the questions you prepared last time, many students may not be able to pass.

"The Diversity of Magic Use", "The Subtle Control of Elemental Abilities", "Common Knowledge of Monsters", "History of Mages", .....

Many of the mages majored in different subjects.

For example, Professor Gaia, who 'fought side by side' with Victor last time, is a third-order mage who specializes in healing magic.

And after the Demon War, the long vacation allowed the professor to only take two classes.

The topic of this course is undoubtedly a great challenge for the students.

Rachel looked at the embarrassed professors and sighed, knocked the cane in his hand on the floor, and said slowly:

"After Devin Reiser disappeared, another position as a professor was vacated, and it seems that the pass rate will be even lower this year."

The final exam rules at the Royal Academy of Magic are different from those of other houses.

Each year, students can choose their own professors to take the exams in the relevant subjects, and the dean does not personally proctolate the exams, so students only have eight professors to choose from.

As long as five of the eight professors can be recognized by the professors, they will be considered to have passed.

Originally, before Victor came, there was still a professor in the academy.

However, she left the academy because she wanted to travel the world.

When she resigned, she also placed a letter on the dean's desk.

The text on the envelope reads:

"The world is so big, I want to go around."

At that time, Victor, as a relation, parachuted in.

So the vacant spot was given to Victor.

The eyes of several professors focused on Victor, and suddenly there was silence in the conference hall.

Nominally, Victor still belongs to the professors of the academy, but in fact everyone knows it.

The gold content of this professor is even higher than that of the dean.

Rachel turned his head to look at Victor, smiled, touched his white beard and said slowly:

"Chief Professor Victor, I would like to give you the quota for this year's German examination, and the students who pass the examination from you will be recognized by the two professors."

"Of course, if you're prepared, you can turn down this offer, and I don't want it to disrupt your plans."

Victor nodded expressionlessly.

"I'm okay with that."

Rachel was relieved to see that Victor agreed.

If Victor doesn't accept this proposal, I'm afraid he will have to go on the field himself and redraft a new exam question in a short time.

It's a hard thing to do.

"Then, please prepare a lot, the final assessment will be set for Saturday, a three-day period."

……

Victor stepped on the cobblestone road of the campus, ready to leave the college.

It's time to get off work, so he doesn't have to stay in the boring mage tower all the time.

"Professor!"

In the distance, a voice stopped Victor.

Hernie trotted all the way down the cobblestone road to Victor's side, out of breath.

It took a moment for her to recover, her yellow eyes looking at Victor expectantly.

She had heard about the assessment, but as an associate professor, she didn't care about it.

However, the assessment will last for three days.

Hernie wanted to help Victor share some of the pressure, so there was a little light in her eyes:

"Professor! Is there anything I can do to help you? ”

If Victor had to prepare for the final exam, Hernie would have made it easy for her to produce a final exam with her strong knowledge and skilled skills.

Hernie asked, following Victor to the gate of the academy.

Victor didn't reply immediately, he just stood at the school gate, waiting for the carriage to arrive:

Grunt grunt –

A carriage without horses approached slowly, and the wheels collided with the stone road to create a unique crispness.

The Cravina logo on it made Herney see that this was the carriage the professor was waiting for.

"Those few days of assessment."

"You just have to stay next to me."

Hernie tilted her head, a little confused.

Is it okay to stay with the professor?

Victor glanced at Hernie, whose eyes were glowing, and said lightly:

"Let's get in the car first."

"Oooh."

Hernie nodded hurriedly, happily approaching the carriage first.

It's nice to be able to live in the professor's house and commute to and from work with the professor every day.

This time of day is when Hernie feels the happiest.

……

The students were busy preparing for the exam in the last few days, and naturally, there was no shortage of students who were completely rotten.

Soon it was Saturday, and the assessment day arrived.

The students entered the campus with great trepidation and excitement, and even their bodies felt a little heavier.

The exam will take place in each professor's mage tower, and seven different professors will wait for the academy to arrive in their respective mage towers.

"Hey, have you heard? This exam seems to have lowered the difficulty? ”

"I've heard that the original eight over five has become seven over five."

"It seems like there's an extra spot on Professor Victor."

Putting an extra place at Victor means that if you can pass Victor, it means that you have passed the exams of the two professors.

"Moreover, I heard that candidates who can pass Professor Victor's assessment, those with excellent grades, will receive a letter of recommendation written by Chief Professor Victor."

If they can get this letter of recommendation, there is a chance that any mage group will open the door for them.

Some students began to fantasize.

But......

Is the school determined to reduce the difficulty, not increase it?

At this point, the students couldn't stop talking.

Thinking of the test of the chief professor of the Arcane Pavilion at the beginning, many students shuddered.

Some students are already wondering if other subjects will be simpler.

The exam lasts for three days, and students will be able to take any of the exam items within three days.

However, as long as you can pass five exams, it means that you have passed the final assessment.

There are a lot of students in front of Victor's mage tower, and many of them want to try it out here in Victor.

After all, who wouldn't be tempted to get two places at once, plus Professor Victor's handwritten letter of recommendation?

Professor Victor's assessment took place on the fiftieth floor of the Mage's Tower.

Erica was the first candidate to get in.

She expertly enters the Mage Tower by teleporting magic.

All around, a starry blue light slowly passed in front of her eyes.

The next second, she appeared on a plain overgrown with reeds.

Here, there is a magical dimensional space in the Mage Tower.

It was built from the beginning to prepare for the Academy of Magic's exams, and is only open once a year.

The area is huge, with the capacity to accommodate hundreds of students.

And when Erica waited for a long time, many candidates gradually poured in.

The candidates were amazed for a long time when they saw Ellie sitting in a field of reeds.

They didn't expect the chief student to come so early, and they didn't even see Erica.

Perhaps, this chief student, has been ready for a long time.

She came for Professor Victor's assessment.

She is bound to win this exam.

……

The students sat boredly among the reeds, discussing with each other and guessing what the scope of the exam was.

Soon, three hours passed, and when the clock of ten o'clock in the academy slowly rang, the string in the hearts of all the students tightened.

Exams are about to begin.

Hernie slowly walked over to the crowd.

She looked at the hundreds of students who had come to take the exam.

The many days of substitute teaching for Victor gave her a lot of valuable experience.

So that Hernie will never be afraid of facing too many people again.

What's more, the current Hernie is already an official first-order mage.

She hung her hand in the air and waved it a few times, and a scroll of elements was slowly pulled out of the reeds and unfolded in front of the students.

The scroll was distinctly colored, as if various elements were mixed together, and the magical aura on the scroll was also very chaotic and unique.

It's just that the center of the scroll is empty.

This magic surprised the students.

Many students could see that although this scroll was only a first-order magic, its complexity and control of elemental shaping had reached a terrifying level.

Sure enough, this rumored associate professor is not easy to achieve.

Even Erica was a little surprised.

Hernie, unknowingly, became a first-order mage?

Although she had seen Hernie use magic, at that time, she was released through demonic powers.

And this time, Hernie used her own magic power.

Hernie spoke slowly, and the magic scroll in the sky gradually began to deform.

"Hello everyone, I'm Associate Professor Herni, and I'm the invigilator this time."

"Next, I will explain the rules of this exam."

The scroll is distorted a few bits, the colors on the edges gradually filling in the white in the center, and the blurred patches of color gradually reconverging into a single image.

"To be precise, there are no restrictions on this exam, and candidates who enter the exam room can stay in the exam room and complete the assessment within three days to be considered successful."

Many people were stunned.

What are the rules?

But they continued to listen to Herney's words:

"Those who fail the exam can retake the exam immediately, and there is no limit to the number of re-exams, of course, if they still fail the exam within three days, then it will be counted as a failure in the exam."

In the confusion of a group of students.

On top of the scroll, the central picture finally appears.

It seems to be a realm drawn in ink.

In the dense green forest, a vague figure gradually appeared.

Although she couldn't see the man's face clearly, Erica's eyes widened by the color of the clothes on her body.

"It's ..... Her Royal Highness the Princess? ”

Other well-informed students also exclaimed.

Even if they couldn't see the person in the painting clearly, they still recognized the strong aura and the gorgeous color of the costume.

That's a princess?

After killing the Morino Demon alone last time, Aurelian's popularity has increased a lot in the royal capital.

She is no longer the vase princess she once saw in the eyes of everyone.

In the middle of the picture, Aurelian moves and dodges, constantly using all kinds of magic.

Dark purple and turquoise, crimson and earthy yellow, mingle and attack the edge of the scroll.

Around her, monsters curled up in a mass of color and struck the princess.

In the distance, several bat-like creatures flying in the sky were spitting black liquid.

The princess looked very relaxed, and the attacks didn't seem to be able to reach her at all.

Then, with a backhand blow, she easily eliminated those small monsters.

The burst slurry fills the scroll.

At this point, the picture ends.

The astonishment in the students' eyes was fully visible to Hernie.

She smiled and explained.

"That's all there is to this assessment."

"Now, I'm going to repeat it."

Hernie smiled, spread her hands, and dozens of teleportation circles appeared around her.

At the end of the circle, there was a glowing green light, and it seemed to lead to some dangerous place.

"Welcome to—[Victor's Forest Secret Realm]."
