“Cuckoo! Cuckoo!”

The cuckoo popped out from the clock and called. The alchemy assessment time was over. The examiner walked in and took over the invigilator’s position. “The alchemy assessment is over. Mages, stop what you are doing and hand in your alchemy potions. We will now begin the assessment.”

Carl handed over a normal healing potion, Michael produced a high-level healing potion that was filled with magic, and Mr. Royce took out a low-level healing potion.

After the examiner checked their potions, he announced the results one by one.Michael: SSS; Carl: S; Royce: A. Congratulations on successfully passing the alchemy examination.”

As soon as the examiner finished speaking, the invigilator recorded their respective results on the back of their registration forms.

The apprentice who was in charge of leading the way walked over and led the three of them to the next assessment room. The next assessment was the magic power test. To put it simply, it was to determine the level of the mages through their magic power and distribute the corresponding identification jade plates to them. Mages of different ranks were treated differently. The prerequisite for these treatments was to pass the magic power test in the assessment hall to determine their own magic power.

Before the judgment, even if one had advanced to a higher level, they would not be able to receive the treatment of a higher-level mage. This was also why Michael was still living in the apprentice dormitory even though he had already become a mage.

They followed the apprentice, who led the way to the next assessment room. Michael sensed something was wrong with Mr. Royce’s mood and comforted him in a low voice, “Don’t be sad, eh? Everyone’s talent was different, so it’s normal for there to be good and bad. My talismans are not as powerful as yours.”

Carl also agreed, which made Mr. Royce feel much better.

However, both of them had a tacit understanding and did not mention it. No matter how biased others were, it was rare for them to blow up the cauldron like Mr. Royce did. After all, cauldrons were quite expensive, and Mr. Royce had spent a considerable amount of money every month on buying new cauldrons and repairing his dormitory. Sometimes, even all the money seemed insufficient, so they could only borrow money from Michael or sell their charms to get by.

Alchemy assessment room.

The examiner, who had a cold expression, could not hide the excitement in their eyes when they saw the high-level alchemy Michael had handed over. The potions refined during the academy’s assessment had to be handed over to the academy.

However, in most cases, the apprentices could only produce some junk with the alchemy materials provided by the academy for free. This was the first time anyone below the level of a mage had to hand over a high-grade healing potion. Even in the higher-level mage assessment, there were very few of them.

Moreover, most of the time, when a mage was refining potions, it was also affected by the cauldron itself. Many mages would use both their own cauldron and others’ to refine potions, and there would be a huge difference in level. However, this young man named Michael had used the academy’s crucible and ordinary alchemy materials to create a high-grade healing potion. From this, it could be seen that this mage had a very high alchemy talent.

“I heard that they formed Mage Team Z not long ago?” The examiner asked.

“It’s like this. The members are Michael, Royce, and Carl.” The invigilator replied respectfully, “I heard that they even chased away Miller, who bullied others.”

“The new generation is really getting stronger and stronger.” The examiner looked into the distance and sighed. “I wonder how that Carl is doing. However, this Royce was a famous talisman genius on the continent of Tyre. Now that such an alchemy genius has appeared, it has made up for Royce’s shortcomings in alchemy.”

“The future of this team is limitless. Perhaps the strongest team of mages in the future will come from our Demick Academy ”

Magic Power Testing Room.

Carl had already tested his magic in the Spirit Realm. His magic power was average, and he was quickly determined to be an intermediate magic apprentice.

The so-called Spirit Realm was a transparent wave mirror made of magic power. As long as the person testing the magic power stood in front of the Spirit Realm and released all his magic power, the Spirit Realm would calculate the mage level of the other party based on the other party’s magic power. Whether it was a magic apprentice or a high-level mage, they would be able to see through all their magic power if they stood in front of this fluctuating spiritual realm.

This Spirit Realm was a magic detection tool created by the academy itself. Almost every academy had different tools, and some academies preferred to use more traditional crystal balls. According to the strength of different academies, the accuracy of the magic detection tools also varied.

Demir could be said to be the number one academy in the entire Tyre Continent, so the accuracy of this Spirit Realm had reached an astonishing one hundred percent.

After Carl, Mr. Royce also walked over to do the test. He slowly released all his magic power and reflected it into the spirit realm. Soon, the results appeared. Intermediate Mage Apprentice.

This result made Mr. Royce very happy. After all, he was only a Basic Mage Apprentice not long ago. It was nice that he could advance to such a level in such a short period of time.

The new examiner congratulated Mr. Royce on his promotion and handed him a badge with the words “Intermediate Mage Apprentice.”

This kind of badge was only issued by the major academies. On it was the rank of the mage and the academy’s emblem. It was the only proof of identity for mages on the continent of Tyre.

Finally, under everyone’s watchful eyes, Michael approached the Spirit Realm and released his mana.

In an instant, the high-level mana spread out with pressure and was slowly absorbed by the Spirit Realm.

The transparent mirror began to ripple as soon as the dense Mana entered the Spirit Realm. After a long time, it gradually calmed down, and the words ‘Tier 4 Mage’ appeared on the surface.

The moment these four words came out, everyone present was stunned on the spot.

Mr. Royce and Carl only knew that Michael was a mage, but they didn’t know that he was already a Tier 4 mage. And they were only magic apprentices.

The difference between them could be described as heaven and earth.

Mr. Royce was proud of his friend. He was just short of using a loudspeaker to announce it to the world. “Brother, you’re amazing. We’ll be relying on you to protect us!”

Carl also silently congratulated Michael, but he was secretly happy that he could join Michael’s team. There were not many mages who were willing to team up with apprentices and treat them so well. If he did not happen to have the quest book that the other party needed, he might not have had the chance to form a team with the mage.

The examiner was also shocked by Michael’s mana. If he was not mistaken, Michael had only been a Beginner Mage Apprentice during the previous test, but this year, he had already become a Tier 4 Mage.

He had actually leveled up so many levels in a short year!

Although the examiner had seen many sorcerers and mages before, he had never seen such a thing. Michael was the only one who could level up so quickly.

Thinking up to this point, the examiner handed the new identity token to Michael in relief. It was as if he had seen the future of a high-level mage.
