“Wait a minute! There must be a mistake somewhere!”

Catherine felt her mind go blank.

It was the exam grounds for official magisters. Why was Austin here?

“Brother, where did you come from?”

“You can’t be here. I can bring you out now.”

Catherine grabbed Austin’s arm and tried to lead him out.

Unexpectedly, with Catherine’s strength as an apprentice magister, she could not pull Austin away at all.

“It’s fine.” Austin stood on the spot and stroked Catherine’s little head. He smiled and said, “Silly girl, I can come in because I’m also an apprentice magister.”

“Besides, I also applied for this year’s official magister exam.”

“What?! Brother, you’ve become an apprentice magister?”

Catherine’s almond-shaped eyes widened in disbelief as she sized up Austin.

She tried to look for signs of lying from Austin’s face.

Austin was serious.

“Is it that difficult to become an apprentice magister?” he asked.

Catherine’s face darkened.

It was rather Versailles1 to be told such a thing by a brother who did not even have the talent to become a magister.

“Even if you become an apprentice magister, it won’t work.”

“You don’t have a combat suit, no weapons, and you’ve barely even prepared. Isn’t this nonsense?”

“Do you have any idea how difficult this exam will be?”

The level of participation was unprecedented.

Since the higher echelon of the Thunder Magister Guild would come, the difficulty would surely increase exponentially.

Austin wore a camouflage suit to take the exam, making it as though he was on a field trip.

Austin smiled casually and said, “How have I not made sufficient preparations?”

“Is this huge bag here worthless?”

Austin shrugged his shoulders and weighed his backpack.

“Brother, what did you bring?”

Catherine was curious about what Austin had brought.

He did not have a combat uniform or a magic weapon. What else could he bring?

She pulled open the zipper of his backpack and took a look. Catherine was dumbfounded.

She stood there like a statue.

Inside Austin’s backpack were pots, bowls, basins, firewood, oil, salt, and some fire magic canisters.

Even worse, a sleeping bag!

Catherine looked at her brother, speechless.

Without another word, she grabbed onto her brother and prepared to leave the train station.

“How are you here for the exam? You’re clearly here for an excursion. What nonsense!”

Catherine was both annoyed and amused as she wanted to lecture Austin.

However, she did not notice that her apprehension had eased a lot.

Austin stood like a nail in the ground as he would not budge against Catherine.

“I heard that some of the Vicious Beast meat is pretty good. It’s not often that we can go to Vicious Beast Town, so we should at least have a taste.”

Catherine puffed up her cheeks and fumed, “You eating Vicious Beasts? I think Vicious Beasts are the ones eating you!”

“Quickly leave. Mom and Dad only have one son. Stop fooling around, okay?”

Catherine became anxious.

Yet, at the same time, she also realized something strange.

As an apprentice magister, she could not even make Austin budge.

Could it be…?

Did her brother really become an apprentice magister?

However, even if he did become an apprentice magister, he did not have any magitek or a combat uniform. He would still be offering his life to the beasts if he went to the town!

At this moment, outside the transport station.

High-class carriages stopped one after another.

The carriage door opened, and men and women in magic robes, moon-white robes, or mottled combat uniforms stepped out.

Regardless of age and sex, all of them wore golden medals without exception.

Tier-three magisters!

All of them were tier-three magisters!

As for the elder who came down from the most luxurious carriage in the middle, he wore a medal made of purple gold in front of him, which shone with four stars.

The purple-gold medal represented a tier-five magister!

Apart from this medal, there was also a golden lightning badge that was equally dazzling.

The soldiers stationed at the transport station stood at attention with a loud bang.

In the face of so many experts, these soldiers saluted and bowed with great honor.

“Please come in, President.”

A royal expert with a royal badge who was a tier-four magister led the way for this elder.

“Well, I deeply appreciate your trouble, Brother Cass.”

The elder held his walking stick and nodded with a smile as he walked in front.

The other tier-three mages and magisters followed behind him.

The waiting area.

The noisy crowd quieted down when they heard the commotion outside the transport station.

Catherine’s heart sank. “Oh no, could it be the examiner?”

Under the dazzling sunlight, a group of experts wearing the Magister Guild medals walked in with a majestic aura.

Everyone gasped.

“The royal family’s expert, Cass!”

“Martian Hunter Ankti!”

“And Miss Hill from the Faye City Chamber of Commerce.”

“Wow, they are all at least tier-three magisters.”

“These are all big shots who could shake the city with a stomp of their feet.”

The apprentice magisters exclaimed.

“Wait, look at that old man.”

“His purple-gold medal? H-he’s a tier-five magister!”

“Gasp, he really is a tier-five magister. Furthermore, he’s wearing the badge of the Thunder Magister Guild. As expected, the upper echelons of the Thunder Magister Guild have arrived.”

“The rumors are not wrong.”

After a moment of silence, the waiting hall exploded into a commotion.

The elder was the spark that had ignited the commotion.

They whispered to one another as they discussed animatedly.

Catherine was the only one who looked increasingly worried.

With so many big shots here, it was impossible to leave even if they wanted to.

“Don’t worry, Catherine.”

Austin patted Catherine’s head and said softly, “Since we’re already here, let’s take things as they come. Furthermore, you think your brother is an unreliable person? You have to know that your brother never does anything that he isn’t confident of.”

“What? No!”

Catherine rolled her eyes at Austin and said, “What happened today makes you unreliable already!”

“Forget it. When the exam starts, we’ll form a team. You only have to follow me closely.”

Catherine acted like a younger sister protecting her elder brother.

Austin laughed.

“Sure. You protect me, and I’ll treat you to a barbecue.”

As the siblings were chatting, the expert of the royal family, Cass, slowly walked forward. His straight posture was like a spear as he swept his gaze over everyone.

In an instant, a grave aura emanated from his body and swept across the surroundings.

The noisy crowd quietened down almost immediately.
