The second volume of evil magic stick 016. Magic test

  "Although Anthony knew that introducing the two would not lead to anything good, he did not expect that after a few sentences, the tension between them would be so thick. He sighed and said: "Bruce, let these kids handle their own affairs, why are you interfering? Moreover, in this place, you're being ambiguous with Du Fan, don't you think about your own reputation? As someone who has already set foot in the holy realm, if word gets out that you're doing such things, it won't do much good for your name, will it?"

  Du Fan was really startled this time, he naturally understood that Anthony didn't need to deceive himself, since he said that Bruce had half a foot in the holy rank, then his strength must be at the peak of level 9.

  But this is actually normal. Bruce has to preside over the recruitment of Roland Academy in the Gavin Empire this time, and if he doesn't have such strength, he may not be able to handle it.

  It is known that the Roland Academy has always adhered to the principle of absolute fairness and justice in its admissions process. Without a strong figure presiding over this matter, the words "fairness" and "justice" may become empty talk.

  But after realizing this, Du Fan's heart became even more determined. Since this guy is a ninth-level peak, do you really have the nerve to put aside your dignity and come to me, a small fry, for revenge? Even if you don't care about your own reputation, shouldn't you consider the reputation of Roland Academy?!

  Bruce hummed and shifted his gaze to the wooden frame in the middle, falling silent.

  Anthony smiled slightly, gesturing for Du Fan to stand behind him before taking two steps forward and saying loudly: "Alright, everyone, the entrance exam for Roland Academy, which is held every three years, is about to begin. As per usual, we will be holding a magic test in the inner hall. Those who have confidence in themselves can come out and take the test; as for those who know they have no hope, please don't waste our time by coming out. This test should also be taking place at the entrance of the church right now. As per tradition, Roland Academy will only be accepting twenty-five magic students, so everyone should strive to do their best."

  As he spoke, Anthony clapped his hands and the two Knights Templar standing below the nave walked over to lift the curtain on the wooden frame. Before everyone's eyes appeared a crystal ball the size of a fist.

  Bruce took a slight cough and stepped forward, saying: "If you have confidence in yourself, you can try it out for yourself. As for what to do next, I don't need to say anything."

  Upon witnessing this scene, Du Fan couldn't help but secretly admire the move in his heart. Apparently, simply releasing the crystal ball without telling those people what to do was enough to make all those who wanted to take advantage of the situation retreat. As for those with some magical knowledge and skills in minor magic, due to the limited number of spots available, they naturally wouldn't dare reveal what needed to be done either.

  This small trick was used to exploit people's hearts, and it could also select the most excellent talents. Du Fan glanced at Bruce, who still looked dissatisfied, and thought that if these test methods were all thought up by this guy, then it would be too terrifying. It seemed that anyone who could cultivate to this level was indeed an old fox!

  The nobles present looked at each other, and finally, a delicate-looking young girl stepped out first. She slowly walked up to the crystal ball, stretched out one hand and placed it on the surface of the crystal ball, then seemed to whisper a spell softly.

  Immediately afterwards, a faint blue light radiated from the surface of the crystal ball, making people feel an endless sense of wonder and awe.

  Du Fan furrowed his brow, for he could also sense that with the girl's movements, a faint water-elemental magical fluctuation spread out, seemingly allowing one to vaguely perceive the depth of this girl's spiritual power.

  At this point, Du Fan glanced at Anthony and Bruce beside him, and indeed the two men were serious, as if they had confirmed whether this girl was likely to become a magician or not.

  "Alright!"

  Finally, Bruce said calmly: "What's your name? Where are you from? What does your family do? If you can explain all these clearly and there is no problem, then you will be the first student to be admitted this year."

  As he spoke, Bruce waved his hand and one of the young people standing in the corner walked out, elegantly inviting the girl to the side hall of the Holy Temple. If Du Fan wasn't mistaken, as long as what this girl said next matched the information that the Sacred Tribunal had already investigated, her future would be set.

  A moment later, the girl walked out of the side hall, holding a set of clothes representing Roland Academy in her hands, with a joyful expression on her face.

  The other nobles looked at her with faces full of envy that they could not conceal, no matter what the girl's identity and status were before, once it was confirmed that she had the qualifications of a magician and was admitted to Roland Academy, her identity and status rose sharply.

  Perhaps it was because someone took the lead, but after the girl, there were more than a dozen people who came out to take the magic test. Of course, these people all had some foundation in magic, even if they didn't have level one or two, at least they understood some basic principles of magic and knew some magic spells.

  In a series of tests, the nobles who were recruited as students were not many, and in the end, after no one else came down, only about ten people were recruited from this group of over a hundred nobles. As for those who were not selected, they could only go home and cultivate well, looking forward to the next recruitment exam.

  Perhaps satisfied with the results of this time, after seeing that no one continued to test next, Anthony turned around and looked at Du Fan, saying: "Du Fan, are you interested in going down to try it out?"

  Du Fan smiled faintly and said, "I'd better give up. Although I also want to enter Roland Academy, I still have some self-awareness. I've only cultivated the Light Element for a few months, so participating in the Qi Division exam might still be possible. But participating in the Magic Division exam? Isn't that just asking to humiliate myself?"

  Du Fan was clear in his mind that it was relatively easy to keep his magic training a secret, but his Qi was different. His current Qi had already broken through the third level and reached the point of external release. Anyone with a bit of discerning eye would know that he had cultivated Qi, let alone this old fox?

  Everyone in the Imperial City is crystal clear that they were all useless just three months ago!

  Du Fan didn't want to be the object of others' astonishment, after all, breaking through three levels in three months was already a feat that could only be described as genius. If he also broke through three levels in magic, then those with ulterior motives would definitely have their own plans. Three months, and he had broken through three levels in both martial arts and magic! This kind of unprecedented cultivation speed would probably even move the hearts of legendary saints.

  When he didn't have the strength to roam Lorain, Du Fan had no interest in being studied as a lab rat. Of course, after having that strength, he was even less interested...

  When Dufan said this, Anthony's face flashed with a few strands of surprise. He looked up and down at Dufan several times and said: "I didn't expect that in just a few months, you would cultivate the Bright Light Fist to this point? It seems I really didn't misjudge you back then!"

  Bruce also turned his head and glanced at Du Fan, although a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything more.

  Du Fan scratched his head, looking a bit embarrassed, and said: "Anthony, sir, I should thank you for this. If it wasn't for the cultivation manual of the Radiant Fist that you gave me, relying solely on our Green family's secret fist technique, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to break through to the third level in such a short period of time."

  "This is your own opportunity," Anthony said calmly, "If you are really interested in Roland Academy, I will mention it to Bruce later, as long as you have the ability, you can naturally pass the exam and go to Roland Academy for training. It's a rare good thing for young people."

  Haha, Anthony laughed a few times and patted Du Fan's shoulder: "So that's it for now. If you want to take the exam, remember to sign up yourself, or else you'll miss the opportunity. As for me, I still have other things to arrange with Professor Bruce, so I won't be able to accompany you."

  "Lord Anthony, you may take your leave if you have any business to attend to." Du Fan chuckled softly.

  Anthony nodded, then exchanged a glance with Bruce before quickly leaving. The others in the hall followed suit, and soon the crowded hall was left with only Dufan remaining.

  After feeling that there was no one else around, Chenchen's head finally poked out from Du Fan's collar. She looked around for a few moments before saying in Du Fan's mind: "Du Fan, you'd better be careful when taking the exam later."

  "What did you say?"

  The cat's paw swiped a few times in the air before saying, "Just now, although it was only for an instant, I sensed a hint of murderous intent from that Bruce. I reckon he's still got a grudge against you for what happened to his precious disciple's family. For someone like him, playing with your life is as easy as squishing an ant."

  "Ants?" Du Fan rubbed his nose, "Morning Morning, do you know or not, from the time I was born until now, how many people wanted to pinch me to death but were pinched to death by me instead? Although it's said that in the face of absolute power, any conspiracy is useless. But when a person doesn't have absolute power, they don't even need conspiracy, probably just a small trick would make him cry out for his dad and mom."

  Thinking of Du Fan's setup in the underground room, Chen suddenly shuddered. She almost forgot that the guy behind her was absolutely not to be trifled with.
