Greetings, Mister Principal - Chapter 94

Different from the first three exams, the fourth and most important exam of the magic test was not everyone sitting in a classroom together and writing papers quietly, but a practical test.

On the fifth floor of the Magic Association, in a spacious and bright room, behind a long table sat three mages in long robes.

Rupert was on the far left. He was looking at the information sheet on the table and noting something with a pen from time to time.

On the far right was a chubby middle-aged woman with fluffy hair hanging down to her ears. She wore gold-rimmed glasses, and her robe was not wrinkled at all. The cuffs that had three golden stripes flickered in the afternoon sun.

The old man sitting in the middle had no hair, his goatee was neatly combed. Holding a delicate feather pen, he slightly raised his head.

“James Patchell, the spell you submitted was the First-ring Water Magic Water Wall, and you did successfully cast this spell.”

The old man’s voice was deep and reverberated in the empty room. His cuffs had four golden stripes. This was a fourth-ring mage.

In fact, this was also the president and highest person in charge of the Torrendo Magic Association, Daniel Graz, who specialized in elemental magic and had been a reviewer of the magic test for ten years.

Hearing President Daniel’s words, James’s originally tense nerves relaxed slightly, but the next sentence of the other party made the young man’s heart become nervous again.

“However, in this test, the flow of your magical power has produced turbulence three times. Thanks to your own sufficient magical power reserve, you could suppress the turbulence, otherwise, you would have definitely failed.” (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

President Daniel’s words made James’ eyes wide open in shock. Indeed, he made some mistakes in the process of casting the spell just now, because the “gift” that Reiner gave them before had caused James to be distracted slightly. This was true. But the process of casting the spell just now clearly didn’t reveal any flaws on the surface, but this person in front of him could actually see through it easily?

“Don’t underestimate any mage, little guy.”

President Daniel saw through James’ doubts. Of course, he also knew that the Patchell family had a certain foundation here, but if he was afraid of this, he would not have chosen to serve as a reviewer ten years ago.

“You can leave now”

With a wave of his hand, President Daniel ordered James to leave, and at the same time put a score on the record list.

The two reviewers beside him also recorded their own points at the same time.

This was actually very much like the situation when reviewing academic papers. The three reviewers had their own opinions, and the points were combined to give the final result.

But saying so, the evaluation criteria for this test was also very clear.

The apprentices first submit a first-ring magic that they were going to be tested and then cast it on the spot. The reviewers would give scores accord to the cast. For those who failed to cast the spell, the result was obviously self-evident.

As for those who successfully cast the spell, the reviewers would give points according to the details of the spell. This was a bit like the score of a sports event on the earth. Although subjective had a certain influence, the basic criteria for judging still exist.

After James left, Dana was the next one to come in.

“Hello, my name is Dana Christine, and the magic I am going to cast is the first-ring magic, fireball.”

Dana said softly with sweaty palms; she didn’t dare to look directly at the three reviewers. This was her method of trying to relieve tension.

Although she was full of confidence when she chatted with Reiner in the morning, Dana was still an apprentice who had just mastered the knack of casting spells, and this time she came to take the exam with the idea that she would fail.

She didn’t even have time to inscribe the first-ring magic into heart-lake, which was something that she should do in advance.

“Christine? Millie, is it that Christine…?”

President Daniel asked the female reviewer next to him in a voice that Dana couldn’t hear.

“Yes, this is their daughter.”

The mage who was called Millie replied that Adol Christine and Elena Christine were quite famous in the province of Ann Monet. Although it had been ten years since the accident, In the Torrendo Magic Association, there were still many old mages who remembered both of them.

It was just that Dana’s uncle, Chester Christine, had a bad relationship with the Magic Association, so Dana’s situation was not known to these people. Of course, people like President Daniel were only able to meet with the Christine couple a few times, their relationship hadn’t reached a degree where they would take care of Dana for them.

Dana didn’t notice the comments of the reviewers. After getting Rupert’s permission, she raised her hand and faced a big chunk of obsidian slab on the other side of the room.

This was a device specially used to test the power of magic. It could withstand direct hits from standard spells below three levels and give power data. It could also absorb the excess energy released. When mage apprentices chose offensive magic, this device would come in handy.

“Interesting.”

President Daniel smiled slightly when he saw what Dana was holding.

That was a staff.

To be precise, it was a wooden wand about one-third of a meter in length, without any trace of magic power on it. It was not a magic item, but an ordinary slender wooden stick.

This was Reiner’s idea, and the purpose was to give Dana a psychological hint that as long as she held this “staff”, she could successfully cast magic.

This did not violate the rules of the assessment, but it only made President Daniel feel that this little girl was very interesting.

Dana closed her eyes, and the complex and beautiful model of fireball spell appeared in her heart. Numerous nodes lit up one by one, shining like stars. At the same time, dazzling magical channels continued to glow between these nodes, gradually depicting a spell model of fireball.

But after a little spark gleamed, from several key spell nodes, a huge torrent of magic power gushed out. This was not the power that would appear during the normal fireball spell casting process.

Dana watched as the torrent broke through the original harmonious spell model, pouring out through the staff from her fingertips.

The huge roar almost shattered the magic-enhanced window in the room, and a flash of light flew from the front of the staff, directly hitting the obsidian slab.

The wind was raging, and the raised dust hit the three reviewers.

Rupert stood up and gently raised his hand. A transparent wall of wind appeared in front of the three of them and lightly blocked the airflow.

When the dust settled, President Daniel shook his head. This was obviously not a feature of fireball. It seemed that Dana had indeed failed to cast the spell.

“Dana Christine, I’m sorry, you…huh?”

However, before President Daniel’s words were finished, Millie pulled his cuff and pointed to the obsidian slab.

A clear visible crack appeared on the stone slab that could withstand the direct attack of standard spells below the third ring!
