[Victor’s Secret Realm of the Forest]—is the name of this assessment.
According to the rules, each candidate will have four encounters in the secret realm of the forest.
The monsters encountered in each battle are different, with different strengths and varying numbers.
In each of the four battles, one, three, five, and ten monsters will appear.
If you can successfully challenge in the third encounter, then your results will be qualified.
Heni waved her magic power on the scroll, and the rules of the exam appeared in the center.
The students present looked at the rules on the scroll and hesitated.
They couldn't believe it.
Professor Victor's assessment actually requires them to challenge the monsters in person! ?
This is actually a practical exam! ?
Isn’t this life-threatening?
"As I said before, there is no limit to the number of times this exam can be taken. Candidates who fail can take the exam again."
"Don't worry, everyone. If your life is in danger, the secret realm will automatically transport you out and heal you."
Hearing this, the students looked at each other.
Although such protective measures do give people a lot of peace of mind, hearing about actual combat still makes them a little...
timid.
The students at the Royal Academy of Magic have little practical experience.
At most, I just try to release magic in the arcane hall and beat the wooden man.
Even though Associate Professor Heni said that there was no danger to their lives, students still resisted instinctively.
The students retreated mentally, and some students at the back even took a few steps towards the exit.
But perhaps the temptation to get two passes in one go is too great for students.
After hesitating for a long time, they returned to the crowd.
At least wait and see first.
Of course, their retreat was noticed by Heni.
"Then, the examination begins. Candidates who are ready please line up and enter the examination room in order."
Those dozens of green teleportation circles are the so-called 'examination room'.
Heni waved one hand, and the green magic circle was activated, bursting out bursts of green aura.
Many candidates know that once they step into it, they will usher in an unprecedented practical assessment.
Erica was the first to take action.
She didn't care at all about the timidity and shock of the students around her, and walked towards the portal in front of her.
The teleportation array under her feet gradually emitted light, and soon, Erica's body turned into magical aura that dissipated and merged into the scroll.
"She went in!?"
"This... nothing will happen."
"How about waiting for Erica to come out and ask what's going on inside?"
The students who stayed there started discussing among themselves.
However, the moment Erica completely entered the scroll, a dozen more students squeezed out of the crowd and walked towards the portal in front of them.
And these people were gradually recognized by the candidates.
"these people...."
"They are all top-ranked students..."
Erica is not the only one looking forward to Victor's assessment.
They followed Erica and entered the secret realm one by one.
Although they did not take Victor's test that day in the Arcanum, it was just a flashy education.
A true genius looks forward to any challenge.
What's more.
This is just an assessment, and it is an unlimited number of assessments.
Once you don't even have the courage to enter it, it's better to give up on the exam from the beginning.
When they all entered the magic circle, most of the students fell silent.
They looked at the glowing magic circle, and there seemed to be a fire in their hearts giving them an impulse, but this flame was quickly extinguished by a basin of water called calmness.
finally.
A small number of candidates voluntarily gave up on the exam. They had distressed looks on their faces, shook their heads, and turned towards the transfer port of the mage tower.
The moment they left, their expressions seemed very complicated.
I don't know if it's because I'm worried about my timidity or because of my lack of strength.
Heni saw them in her eyes and did not stop them, nor did she urge the students to come forward immediately for assessment.
After all, it is just what these students thought.
Professor Victor's exam.
It is probably the most difficult exam in the academy in recent years.
…
A few rays of green light slowly fell into the dense forest, and the glowing body made Erica feel a little light.
But the thick leaves around her told her that this was not an illusion, but a real dense forest.
Here, there are challenging spaces one after another constructed repeatedly by Kokot's space magic and the terrain created by the Wood Disaster.
Each space is independent and candidates do not interfere with each other.
Erica still can't see the magic of this space.
She looked forward, and there seemed to be a vague darkness behind a mess of branches and leaves.
Walking forward, Erica saw a winding path.
The path was covered in weeds, making it difficult to distinguish.
Erica walked cautiously on the path, not daring to take big or fast steps.
In this dense forest, even if no monsters suddenly appear, the insects and flying mosquitoes among the dense trees can cause a lot of trouble.
She continued to move forward step by step, stepping on the weeds and leaving jagged footsteps on the mud.
With no one around, Erica tried to find some other way around.
She walked to the side of the road, but seemed to hit a wall.
"It hurts, it hurts."
Erica rubbed the shoulder that had just hit the 'wall of air' and looked at the other side of the air with some surprise.
It's obviously all dense jungle, but it's completely isolated.
"There is no other way but this one."
This unique exam made her feel novel.
It's as if you are in a mysterious space.
Continuing to walk forward, a ray of sunset fell through the trees into Erica's eyes.
It's the exit.
She took two quick steps and rushed out of the jungle.
"here it is....."
She looked at the endless plains around her, the yellow foxtail swaying like waves in the breeze.
At this moment, a piece of earth beside Erica's feet squirmed a little.
A yellow-colored monster suddenly broke out of the ground and jumped towards Erica's face.
The body of the monster was like a groundhog, but its tail grew like a parasitic flower.
Several hairy rat heads sprouted from the long neck, and a strange sound mixed with chirping and rattling came from the neck.
But what surprised Erica the most.
The top of its head has the mouth of a duck.
"Is this... a mouse or a duck..."
As if hearing Erica's suspicion that he was a duck, the monster became a little angry and swung its body towards Erica.
Erica twisted her body and took a few steps back. The monster jumped into the air and gnawed a lot of dogtail grass.
Not to be outdone, it waved the flowers behind it and attacked Erica again.
[Second level magic: Fireworks]
The red formation in her hands was quickly constructed, and two flame pillars suddenly appeared in Erica's hands and rushed forward.
The monsters that rushed towards him were burned to pieces in an instant.
"Hmph, weak."
Erica clapped her hands, and the monster that turned into charcoal was immediately swallowed back by the earth.
"Is this the end?"
Unlike other students, Erica has actual combat experience.
Long before, she had killed many local fire monsters in Mount Vesuvius.
Compared with the monsters on the volcano, these monsters are much weaker.
Erica knew that she had deliberately controlled the monster's strength to take care of all the candidates, but it also made her feel a lot more relaxed.
Although I don’t know what method Professor Victor used to control the monster, this kind of assessment is very interesting.
Erica continued to move forward, and the second wave of monsters appeared in front of Erica again.
Two mouse-like ducks emerged from the ground and attacked Erica again.
But this time there is another type of monster.
From that distance, a tiny black dot flew towards Erica.
The bat-like creature vibrated with four broken screen-like wings. It rode the breeze and spit out three balls of black liquid in the air toward Erica.
Erica turned over and passed over the two mouse monsters.
The moment he soared into the air, he turned around to avoid the black liquid, put his foot on the back of the bat, and jumped back.
Two spells were constructed simultaneously between his hands.
[Level 2 Magic: Waterfall Spin]
[Second level magic: Fire and smoke flying into the sky]
One red and one blue, two magics appeared in her hands at the same time.
As soon as she finished speaking, Erica stretched out her arms towards the body falling to the ground, and the two magics entangled each other and flew towards the three monsters.
boom!
The intense heat and bursting water droplets cracked the surrounding grass waves.
A burnt smell slowly rose.
Erica landed smoothly on the ground and exhaled.
Fortunately, she had been trained by her father's 'Mage Legion' for a period of time and was able to perform a series of more flexible movements.
If she hadn't controlled the flying bat in advance, she might have stumbled here.
The combination of two monsters, alternating near and far, is quite dangerous.
Erica rested for a moment and continued walking forward.
Her intuition told her that the third wave was coming.
Sure enough, three duck-billed rats suddenly appeared on the ground. This was the name she had just chosen for this monster.
This time, their actions were different from the previous two waves, becoming extremely fast and violent.
A bat flying rapidly in the distance made Erica concentrate.
"No! There are obviously five monsters!"
Erica's sixth sense told herself that this was completely wrong, and the hairs on her back suddenly stood up.
She looked back and saw that there was a huge flying mosquito swooping towards her.
The flying mosquito was wrapped around the vines, and its entire body seemed to be hidden in the greenery.
If you don't look carefully, you won't even notice this clever predator.
"really!"
Erica took a big step to the side this time. After dodging the duck-billed rat's attack, she created a flame in her hand and struck it at the flying mosquito in front.
The moment the flame touched the monster in front, it burned.
She rolled to avoid the crisis behind her.
But the burning mosquito suddenly flapped its wings, and the flames on its body were immediately extinguished.
"Tsk."
This time the monster is more powerful than before.
Erica realized this, so she stopped holding back,
A bright green light lit up on her chest, immediately enveloping the surrounding monsters.
The power of inheritance.
After gaining this power, Erica is no longer what she used to be. The powerful natural energy has made her strength no longer limited to simple second-level magic.
The light gradually extinguished, and those monsters seemed to have been planted with a seed, suddenly sprouting and blooming, and sharp branches pierced out of the monsters' bodies.
Those monsters immediately lay under the incomplete sunset, extremely silent.
The corpse slowly dissipated with the wooden vines, and a green portal gradually lit up behind Erica.
A ball of writing ignited from the air and lit up in front of Erica.
[The results are passed, do you want to continue the challenge? 】
This means that Erica has completed the exam and she can leave now to take the exams of other professors.
but……
She didn't want to be satisfied like this.
"Keep challenging."
When Erica was sure, the portal disappeared.
She turned around, and at some point, a green path appeared in front of her, which looked very peaceful and harmonious under the sun.
The flowers around the path swayed in the breeze, seeming to be delighted by Erica's courage.
She took a deep breath, stepped over the waves of grass, and continued walking deeper into the path.
