Chapter 385: Chapter 97: Cosmic Meditation Method, the World’s Will Favors Again_3
With it concerning Link, Jasmine evidently could not let it rest without investigating.
Every piece of information she could find, she combed through, pinpointing the crucial contents to relay to Link.
“Mhm.”
Link patted Jasmine’s head as a way of appreciation, “Thank you for your hard work.”
“Annoying.”
Jasmine grumbled, raising her hand to make a faint waving motion, yet didn’t in reality swat away Link’s hand.
“Did you find out about the registration process?”
Link chuckled, gently stroking her head as he asked the question.
“Mhm.”
In response to Link’s prodding, Jasmine rolled her eyes, immediately answering, “There are only two rounds, preliminary and final. Any wizard enrolled in the Senior Division is automatically registered. The standard for preliminary selection is based on exam results while the final round is divided into two stages: an interview and a combat test. The Serene Wizard states the combat test weighs heavily overall.”
Given these regulations, Link, who achieved first in all exams for this fall term’s class, didn’t need to worry about the preliminary round.
The interview segment of the final round to Link, likely to be nothing more than a formality.
The only potentially challenging part was the combat test.
“Understood.”
Link nodded, fully understanding why the academy placed so much importance on combat performance.
As a wizard, their power comes from within, that’s why, regardless of academic achievement, one should not neglect their combat abilities.
“No rush, we’ll get there and see.”
Link dropped his hand, heading upstairs.
Jasmine followed behind him.
Upon reaching the first floor of the villa, Link took a seat in the dining room and ordered the steward bot to prepare afternoon tea.
“You really have a lot of patience. In half an hour, the final round will begin.”
Jasmine noticed and remarked sarcastically, “Don’t you want to look at the battleground in advance and mentally prepare?”
“Don’t rush me, let me think for a moment.”
Link gestured for Jasmine to sit down, enjoy some tea, and not to be hasty. He then began to ponder.
There must be a good reason why The Serene Wizard attaches so much importance to this exchange study.
Especially with the Grande Potion Shop opening the day after tomorrow, the fact that she specifically notified Jasmine to ensure that Link should definitively secure one of the spots shows even more so that The Serene Wizard believes that there is an essential reason that compels Link to do so.
Of course, awards are a factor.
But more than that, it’s presumably due to the conflict between Link and the Lucia Family.
Link has heard that the Lionel family has fully conquered the Treant World.
Ordinarily, the two Sage Armies that have been trapped in the Treant World for thirty years should get to return home first to recuperate, and then the Sage Lionel’s Army would be the last to return.
However, Zoran Lucia and the Lucia Elite group he led are just reinforcements, functioning as allies.
It wouldn’t be appropriate to make allies stay too long on the frontlines, they should be allowed to recuperate earlier than others.
Zoran Lucia’s return is imminent.
Link suspected that Serene Wizard might also want him to steer clear of this affair.
Maybe out of consideration for Link’s dignity.
After all, he is now a first-level wizard, a renowned Genius Potion Master, which is why unlike during the last conscription, she did not directly inform him.
“She’s very considerate!”
Link sipped his tea and stood up, calling out to Jasmine, “Let’s go see what our classmates are made of.”
“Alright.”
Jasmine frowned, she took a sip of the bitter tea, and stood up to follow.
She really couldn’t understand why Link roasted plant leaves then mixed them with hot water for tasting.
Both bitter and astringent, how could he stomach it?
She had reluctantly tried it a few times but still could not adapt to the taste.
“Next time I’ll prepare you a cup of milk tea.”
Link, noticing Jasmine’s discomfort with tea, activated the phantom coupe while speaking to Jasmine, seated in the passenger seat.
“Fine.”
Jasmine had no real interest in this milk tea, she just didn’t want to dampen Link’s spirit.
The only thing she was interested in now was one thing.
And that was Link’s current combat power.
She hadn’t seen Link fight since the end of the first-year section group competition.
However, she often heard Link mumbling about how he’s gotten more powerful ever since, and could beat several of his past selves.
He’d just made a bold declaration that he would weigh up the classmates’ abilities.
Let’s wait and see whether he’s bluffing.
Or whether he’s genuinely powerful.
