Chapter 144: Second-level Wizard Apprentice
Losia-Haige is the First-Level Wizard who participated in the joint operation with Anthony-Black Sparrow to encircle and suppress the Dark Sun Apostle in the Shadow World last time, and is also the current Principal of Black Bone Forest.
According to a normal person's thought process, since Malo-Haige and the Principal of Black Bone Forest come from the same family, he should also go to Black Bone Forest.
However, this Second-level Wizard Apprentice, who possesses a B-grade 【Water Control】 talent, completely ignored the outside voices and resolutely chose White Coral Academy.
"The drawing result is 【Flying Come Charm】. Begin."
"Okay."
Without any pause, after confirming the exam content, Malo-Haige immediately recited the incantation and made the casting gesture.
"Come quickly!"
As soon as the incantation stopped, the empty water cup that was originally on Malo-Haige's desk quickly flew into his hand.
"Hmm, not bad. The next person is Niya-Flame."
As Malo-Haige left the podium and returned to his seat, a female apprentice, about 1.78 meters tall, with bronze skin, deep facial features, and dark red hair tied into several thin braids like scorpion tails, strode onto the podium.
"I've dealt with her before. Her character is okay, but she has a very hot temper."
Hearing Vivian's quiet evaluation next to her, some information about Niya-Flame quickly surfaced in Jia Na's mind.
Niya-Flame, Bloodline Side Second-level Wizard Apprentice, bloodline attribute unknown, is a collateral member of the Blazing Flame Family. In terms of blood relations, she is considered Solo-Flame's cousin.
"Come quickly—"
Looking at the wand that quickly flew into Niya-Flame's hand, Jia Na slightly raised her eyebrows.
"Is it 【Flying Come Charm】 again—"
The same question also appeared on the next few Second-level Apprentices in turn.
"Professor Margaret might as well just let us cast 【Flying Come Charm】 directly, which would save the trouble of drawing lots—"
Jia Na and Vivian, who had successfully completed the assessment, did not rush to the first floor of the Magic Tower to join the team. Instead, they returned to the dormitory first to prepare the items needed for this "Three-School Joint Examination".
Because the "Three-School Joint Examination" has very clear requirements for equipment definition, except for wizard robes and wands that do not exceed the magic control conditions, other magic items such as runes and potions are strictly not allowed to be carried.
Therefore, after Jia Na returned to the dormitory, she only changed the standard academy wizard robe to a "tanuki robe" and only brought a green field wand, not even the thorn bracelet.
"Ding—"
As the mechanical elevator quickly descended, Jia Na saw Vivian waiting for her at the dormitory entrance.
"Did you go back to the dormitory?"
Seeing that Vivian was still dressed the same as when she returned, Jia Na asked with some doubt.
"I did, but I found there was nothing that needed to be replaced, so I just came out directly."
Looking at Vivian, who was wearing a blue and white wizard robe and holding a black wand with a transparent crystal inlaid at the top, Jia Na confirmed again:
"What about the wizard robe you're wearing? Don't tell me it doesn't meet the requirements."
"You mean this one? This is just a cheap one I bought a long time ago. It only has an automatic cleaning function more than the wizard robe issued by the academy. Let me tell you, ever since I went into seclusion, my family hasn't let me wear those magic equipment anymore—they say it will affect the training effect."
"That's very true."
After checking from head to toe again, Jia Na and Vivian quickly walked towards the Magic Tower. It wasn't until they reached the entrance that they found the first floor of the Magic Tower was already packed with people.
"Are there so many Second-level Wizard Apprentices in our academy?"
Seeing that most of the faces inside were unfamiliar, Vivian couldn't help but turn her head and ask Jia Na in a low voice.
"Adding up all the Second-level Wizard Apprentices from the three grades, there are about this many people."
This "Three-School Joint Examination" is aimed at all Second-level Wizard Apprentices in the three Wizard academies in Turin. Therefore, apart from the few like Jia Na who broke through to Second-level Wizard Apprentice early in their first year, most people are actually apprentices in their second or even third year.
To be honest, this assessment model is not fair to people like Jia Na who have only recently broken through to Second-level Wizard Apprentice.
Just the third-year apprentices who have been enrolled for at least three years, in addition to having a wider range of knowledge, their Wizard level of 29 and mental strength level, which is only a step away from breaking through, are far beyond these young apprentices like Jia Na.
"Competing with these older apprentices, aren't we just pure participants?"
After recognizing a few relatively familiar faces of third-year apprentices, Vivian once again complained in a mosquito-like voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Don't worry, this situation has also occurred in previous 'Three-School Joint Examinations'. Therefore, the initial score line for apprentices of each grade is different." Hearing Jia Na's words, Vivian's tense expression relaxed slightly.
If there is an initial score limit, it means that their first-year apprentices also have a chance to achieve a certain ranking in the "Three-School Joint Examination".
"Time is up. All apprentices who meet the qualifications for the 'Three-School Joint Examination', please come here to queue up to receive your identification plates. Those who do not receive them within ten minutes will be considered as having given up their eligibility for this examination."
As a sharp voice that seemed to penetrate the soul sounded, the noisy first-floor hall instantly fell silent.
Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw an elegant black cat sitting gracefully on the magic crystal wall, staring at everyone with a pair of deep yellow eyes.
"It's Miss Bei'er—"
Seeing Black Cat Belle, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, suddenly appear on the first floor of the Magic Tower, Jia Na only glanced at her, then quickly pulled Vivian beside her and joined the queue.
However, after looking around, Jia Na did not see Liji-Xiaosi, who was also a Second-level Wizard Apprentice, in the queue.
"Ding—"
Just as everyone was queuing up to receive their identification plates, a crisp ding sound suddenly rang out at the mechanical elevator entrance. As the elevator door opened, the three First-Level Wizards representing the highest combat power of White Coral Academy slowly walked towards the magic crystal wall.
Anthony-Black Sparrow, Grace-Eva, Mary-Margaret.
Except for Professor Wuta and Lilith-Meg, all the Formal Wizards leading the White Coral "Three-School Trial" this time were main course teachers. Of course, the Principal was an exception.
"There are a total of one hundred and two apprentices who signed up this time."
Hearing Black Cat Belle's voice, Anthony-Black Sparrow nodded expressionlessly.
"It's a bit more than I expected."
He quickly scanned the faces of the apprentices, which were indistinguishable from each other. It wasn't until he saw Jia Na that Anthony-Black Sparrow, who suffered from face blindness, paused slightly, and then said to the two female Wizards beside him:
"Since there are no problems, let's set off—"
