Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Entrance exam
This question was also a common question for many people here. After all, many people here had children who wanted to attend Kanzax Magic Academy. This was usually normal, but when it came to the Dungeon... it was different.
They still wanted their children to study at Kanzax Magic Academy, but they also didn't want their children to be in danger.
Toris glanced at the people around him, he also knew that although Kanzax Magic Academy had a much higher status than these people, they were not a dictatorial organization, nor were they the rulers.
On the contrary, it was these small elements that created the strength and status of the academy.
"Then I'll just say it once."
"The ladies and gentlemen here must all know about Tower of Magus, right?"
"Tower of Magus?"
Some people wondered, then their faces paled.
Tower of Magus.
The Magus Organization stands at the top of the Akazac Empire, on par with the Golden Army and the Command Council, while these two forces are described as the main sword and shield of the Akazac Empire.
To describe the difference, the distance between Kanzax Magic Academy and the Magus Tower is like the distance between the people standing in front of Toris and Kanzax Magic Academy.
"Mr. Toris…"
"Don't ask anything. I can only tell you this."
"Knowing too much is not good."
Everyone was silent, not daring to say another word. Seeing this scene, Toris felt satisfied and continued speaking.
"Is there anyone else who objects?"
Everyone was silent. Perhaps they were hesitating, perhaps they were greedy, perhaps they were daydreaming.
But absolutely no objections were heard, and absolutely no one dared to stand up to object.
…
The next morning, a spacious training ground dedicated to training soldiers was reserved for another purpose, which was to test magic.
At the same time, information about the Kanzax Magic Academy entrance exam also spread throughout the city.
Although it spread so widely, the conditions for participation made the vast majority of people back down.
18 years old or younger, proficient in using low-class magic skills, this condition alone defeated 90% of the candidates.
However, when Kain arrived, he was still overwhelmed by the huge number of people in front of him.
The participants would be tested for age to prevent those who claimed to be smart from sneaking in, then those who passed the age test would be led inside, where they would be able to demonstrate the magical skills they were most proficient at.
After waiting for a long time, Kain was allowed inside to be tested.
"Name?"
"Kain."
"How old are you?"
"15."
"Alright, come in."
Kain nodded and followed the staff to the competition area, which was divided into two separate areas.
The first area was the competition ground, reserved for those who were proficient in magic skills and specialized in attack.
The second area was smaller, reserved for those who were proficient in magic skills and specialized in support.
Kain didn't think much and immediately chose the area reserved for those with magic skills specializing in attack.
There were many targets made of wooden sticks and straw on the field, which were also the targets that participants had to attack with their magic abilities.
Looking at the target in front of him, Kain only needed to raise his hand, and a ball of lightning quickly condensed and shot straight towards the target.
Burning and tearing the straw, causing the target to directly shatter. While the others around him were still chanting, Kain had already finished his work and waited.
Kain didn't know that Toris was observing him, or rather, as the supervisor of this test, Toris was observing everyone.
"It seems like there are still some good seeds left this year."
Obviously, Kain's agility in using magic skills was noticed by Toris. The speed of executing magic skills is the first criterion to judge whether you have mastered that magic skill.
Next, evaluate the power and stability that the magic skill creates. Considering all three criteria, Kain scored high.
A moment later, the two sisters Myra and Mera also appeared, both of them choosing the area for those with magic skills to attack.
As soon as they entered, Myra used a familiar attack [Fire Bullet], burning the target to ashes.
Even if the protective bones of the skeleton centipede were destroyed by her, Myra's target was no different from a piece of paper.
Mera was even more flamboyant, as she used [Air Bullet], it even gradually transformed into the upgraded magic skill of [Air Bullet], [Air Slash].
If it was converted to the level of Kain's system board, Mera's [Air Bullet] should have already surpassed the maximum level.
Toris obviously saw it too and could tell with his knowledge, he said to the assistant beside him.
"Bring the documents of the two people just now here."
"Yes sir." A moment later, the registration papers were handed over to Toris, seeing this, he couldn't help but exclaim.
"Mayor Whesling, he really has two good daughters."
If he could go back in time a few years, Mayor Whesling's two daughters would definitely have a place at the Kanzax Magic Academy, and might even be ranked as geniuses.
"I just hope they can pass the final test safely."
Toris let out a small sigh. Throwing a bunch of inexperienced teenagers into a medium-sized Dungeon was quite a dangerous thing, unfortunately, this was the decision of the management, he could only accept it.
Although the deadline was set at three days, by the second day there were only a few people still taking the test.
However, the rules remained the same.
After the third day, Toris would announce those who had passed the first test. "Kain." After hearing his name, Kain also left the resting place and entered the designated location.
Although the number of participants was very large, only thirty people could set foot in this place.
Among them, twenty were descendants of wealthy families, families with Magus traditions.
Only ten people including Kain were of ordinary background, mostly Adventurers.
Seeing that everyone had gathered, Toris stepped forward, intending to say a few words.
