Apprentice assessments are held on the second floor of the west tower. There is a room made of special materials and equipped with powerful enchantment magic, which serves as the assessment room. There are a variety of props used to test magic, each of which is valuable.
At this moment, many apprentices gathered here, hugging each other and whispering. There are first-level, second-level apprentices and junior apprentices, and they are waiting for the inspector responsible for the assessment to arrive.
Halumi and Kaya were also among them, and they became the center of attention. What happened a few days ago was widely circulated among the apprentices' small circle. After all, there are only a few apprentices received by the president personally throughout the year.
One of the responsibilities of a magician in the world of Mystery is to teach more than two apprentices in a lifetime to make them official magicians. The president's qualifications and achievements have long exceeded this standard. But when he saw the apprentice who was extremely talented and very compatible, he still did not hesitate to teach him knowledge personally.
Therefore, as an apprentice, meeting the top figures of the Xijia District Branch will attract everyone's attention. Not to mention that now that there is a forum, the news spreads very quickly. In less than half a day, the origins and data of the two girls have been revealed. It’s almost announced.
But after knowing the inside story, no one would envy the two women. Because their teacher, apart from being the founder of the forum, has no other major achievements. As for the name of the founder, apart from vanity, there is no real benefit. How can you make money by just selling I Kil's magic knowledge?
After all, in most people's evaluations, Tripwood is still a weak magician with poor talent. This is also limited by the fact that most people in the Lost World do not have economic concepts, and they are even less able to understand what impact will be caused when quantitative changes cause qualitative changes. When there are enough I-Kiels, it will scare people to death.
Although everyone does not envy the two girls, the mentality of comparison still exists. Everyone wants to see what kind of inhuman level the magic power of the person who has endured nearly three years and only came to take the first round of assessment before the deadline has reached.
At the apprentice level, each test is not difficult. There are twenty-two must-learn spells in the first ring, twenty-three in the second ring, and twenty-four in the third ring. The test of each ring is to randomly select ten of the must-learn magics and cast them on the spot.
The person being assessed must not only be familiar with magic and must cast all the selected magics, but also be very particular about the accumulation of his own magic power. After all, casting ten magic spells at once is not an easy task. Although the magic power is insufficient, there is no danger of magic reverse erosion, but if any magic is not successfully cast, it will be eliminated.
The white-haired inspector arrived late, followed by two secretaries. One of them is holding a huge book, which contains the experience records of the apprentices of the Xijia District Branch in recent years.
Although the forum has developed rapidly in recent months, some important information of the association has not moved towards paperless development. Because some systems and habits cannot be changed in a hurry. What's more, the format of the forum is not conducive to the systematic organization and preservation of data.
Another secretary brought a scroll with a list of apprentices who applied for the assessment. After he arrived, he immediately called everyone one by one, confirmed the number of people, and arranged the order of the assessment.
As usual, those with high qualifications will be assessed first, and they will be able to know from the inspector on the spot whether they have passed or not. Those who have completed the assessment can leave first and do not need to stay. This time, they originally followed the established rules, but before coming to the assessment room, the inspector and two secretaries were specially invited to the president, which delayed a lot of time.
There will be such actions, mostly because some of the apprentices undergoing assessment need special care. Most of the time, the apprentice's connections entrust a reputable person to come forward and then insert a large bribe. In a society governed by humans, this kind of thing is very common. It's just the president himself who came forward to explain today.
The two secretaries were familiar with this. Generally speaking, the inspector will not make any changes to the results of the assessment. A pass means a pass, and a failure means a fail. But how the person who logs in writes is not within the scope of his responsibilities, but don't think that the role of the inspector is not important. There is a big difference between turning a blind eye and closing one's eyes.
After everything was arranged, the two secretaries began the apprenticeship assessment after consulting the inspector. The first person to appear is a second-level apprentice. As long as he passes the third-level assessment, he will become an official magician. Judging from his slightly chubby figure, which was covered with all kinds of magic accessories, he looked ready to go.
In fact, in the most primitive form of the apprenticeship assessment, the examinee wears ordinary robes and only carries one spell-casting medium, and has to complete ten magic spells independently. Any cheating with the help of magic props will result in a direct reward for failure. Since a certain president of a certain regional branch in a certain year said boldly: "Financial resources are also part of strength." Although this rule has not been abolished, it has been ignored by everyone.
No matter where he goes, Kojin Warriors are always loved and hated by people.
The young man who came on stage first drew lots at the secretariat and drew ten magic spells that he would use for the assessment. At the same time, another secretary found the page with the apprenticeship experience from the big record book and respectfully presented it to the inspector.
After roughly understanding the experience of those who appeared, the inspector signaled the assessment to begin.
The magic spells for the assessment are limited to the ten drawn ones, and the order is not limited. Therefore, most of the first few magics are relatively reliable, and they are relatively smooth to cast.
But when it comes to casting any magic, the preparation time seems to be relatively long. There is still a stipulated time between magic and magic. If it exceeds the time limit, it will be considered as elimination. So the second-ring apprentice on the field, seeing that the hourglass recording time was about to run out, quickly threw out a magic scroll, which was a high-level magic used to locate spatial coordinates. It is with this scroll that I can open the space channel before the time limit and instantly travel to another location.
The next few magic spells were also performed without any risk. Until the last gigantization was successfully performed, and his entire body began to swell, he raised his hands in the air with joy, almost cheering. But he soon realized something was wrong, because he couldn't stop his enlarged body and began to squeeze to the ceiling, bowing his head, bending, and even curling up.
The inspector realized that something was wrong. As soon as his wand touched the ground, a white mist released by magic sprayed towards the giant. This caused his body to begin to shrink until it returned to its original shape.
The apprentice who survived the disaster looked ashen. If the magic that had just gone out of control was not dispelled, death seemed inevitable. However, the inspector smiled kindly and said, "Don't worry too much. You have passed the examination and become an official magician. I hope that you will continue to study and improve your magic skills in the future, but don't let the situation just happen again."
My mood is like taking a sauna, feeling high and low at the same time. But the new magician who passed the examination did not lose his composure this time, but bowed to the inspector cautiously. In addition to the recognition of promotion, there is also the life-saving grace just now.
In the apprenticeship assessment, many magic principles are quite complicated. The apprentices just followed the schedule and performed according to the steps and instructions. Therefore, the assessment criteria are only whether the performance is successful or not. Whether it can be effectively controlled is actually not that important. Therefore, the performance of gigantism just now can be said to be a failure; but once the person becomes bigger, the assessment is passed.
With the first successful person, the subsequent people will undoubtedly gain a lot of confidence. Enter one by one and pass one by one. In fact, this kind of apprenticeship assessment is applied by the apprentices themselves. Most applicants only participate when they are confident. The inspector was not so much judging the results of the assessment as preparing for the dangerous situation just now.
As for the so-called time limit, it is just the period stipulated by the association that the magician as the instructor can continue to receive the subsidy. Some magicians who look down on such small money and have a lot of money, treat their apprentices almost like sheep. Come again when you are sure, practice until you are sure if you are not sure, and be an apprentice for the rest of your life if you are not sure. that is it.
Under normal circumstances, people who have finished the assessment will leave on their own, but today many people stayed. Because they were waiting for the two apprentices from the Tower of the Great Sage, and wanted to see how accomplished they were in magic and whether they were worthy of being favored by the president. However, the inspector was thinking about how to calmly let go. After all, he was the person the president ordered to take care of. No matter what he did, he always felt embarrassed about this kind of thing.
After more than a dozen tests, it was finally the turn of the ringless ones. The first few junior apprentices came on stage one after another, but the two girls stayed at the end. The secretary who was originally responsible for the sorting was just hoping that there would not be too many onlookers, so that the release of the water would be more blatant. There are more and more people nowadays, and depending on the situation, the number is still increasing.
Bystanders are not prohibited from watching the apprenticeship assessment. Of course, if a dangerous situation occurs, you will be responsible for the consequences. With such a stipulation, in addition to making the assessment public to show fairness, it is inevitable that there will be some groups of relatives and friends who want to come and cheer. However, most of the time, the apprentices' spellcasting performance is not very proficient, and it cannot attract people to watch in this era of lack of entertainment. Therefore, the assessment venue is usually very deserted.
But this time the two girls seemed to have attracted a lot of attention. News spread on the forum, and apprentices who were free and idle gradually came to the examination room of the West Tower and stood outside, waiting to watch the excitement.
Finally everyone else finished, especially the previous junior apprentice who performed magic, which can be described as stumbling. Doesn't look like a good sign.
However, the girls' adventure experiences over the years, coupled with the influence of the teachers they followed, have led to them becoming more and more crude. They turned a blind eye to the onlookers. In fact, they had not realized that they had become the center of attention.
The two girls cheered each other up. Halumi handed the small bag containing her belongings to Kaya, straightened her robe, and entered the assessment venue with her usual short wand.
