I'm really a necromancer

Chapter 66 Participating in the audition (for further reading)

It was far from Yihua's expectation that the light exchanged for the second-class light therapy scroll would be more popular than expected.

When things go wrong, there must be a demon. The keen Yihua immediately looked for Anna and asked the reason.

As soon as she came to the cafe, Anna looked at the silver cross badge on Yihua's chest and asked:

"Hey, have you joined the Illuminati?"

Seeing that Anna doesn't seem to know his true identity as the founder of the Illuminati.

Yi Hua's eyes flickered, and he half-jokingly said:
"Yeah, I heard that the benefits of this organization are quite good, and they can be exchanged for phototherapy scrolls for free, so I joined."

Anna didn't seem to know the specific structure of the Illuminati, she didn't hear Yi Hua's hidden meaning, and said solemnly:
"I heard that the Illuminati has been in the limelight recently, and there is a faint tendency to compete with the Silver Star Society and the Freemasonry, but I don't know where their scrolls come from."

Hearing this sentence, Yi Hua changed the topic decisively and stated the purpose of this trip.

"Don't you know? It's less than a month before the college competition officially starts. The competition in the competition is about combat, so all items related to healing are on the rise at this time. I'm also in your light. The batch of scrolls given to me made a fortune."

Yi Hua has been living a dull life these days. After handing over the propaganda work to Gabriel, he is either practicing or making scrolls, so he has no time to hang out in the academy.

So he really didn't know about it, so he hurriedly asked:

"Academy competition? What's that?"

Seeing that Yihua knew nothing about the recent developments in the academy, Anna sighed helplessly:

"Only the latest apprentices can participate in the college competition. You should also know that our college believes in the law of the jungle. The college competition before the exam fully reflected this rule."

"The competition is not limited to life and death, and a reward will be issued every time you advance. It is said that there is even a secret treasure to improve your spiritual power. The higher the ranking, the more rewards you will accumulate, and the better the rewards will be given."

Speaking of this, Yi Hua also realized something, and replied:

"That is to say, the strong will advance round after round and become stronger and stronger with the accumulation of resources. The weak and apprentices who do not participate in the competition cannot continue to advance and will just stay where they are."

Anna nodded, her eyes flickering slightly.

"That's right, so almost all the apprentices of the latest class have signed up, including me. This is the last chance to sprint before the apprenticeship exam, and it is also a chance for some apprentices who have no hope of being promoted to the second class to change their lives against the sky."

Now Yihua's strength is considered to be the best even among the second-class apprentices.

Since there is an opportunity to pick up secret treasures to increase mental power and accelerate promotion for free, Yi Hua will naturally not let it go.

So he asked bluntly:

"When is the deadline for registration?"

"Just tonight."

After a while.

Following the location given by Anna, Yihua came to the temporary registration office for the competition, several kilometers away from the college tower.

This is a building about three stories high, made of gray stone, like the Colosseum in ancient Rome.

A third-class old apprentice wearing gold-rimmed glasses, who looks not refined, but has a cunning temperament, is sitting at the entrance of the building.

Seeing this, Yihua stepped forward to express his willingness to sign up. The old apprentice flashed a sizing look in his eyes, and asked Yihua:
"A first-class apprentice, the registration fee for participating in the competition is a witch crystal."

Yihua had learned about the general rules of registration from Anna earlier.

Now that he has a lot of money, a witch crystal is nothing, so he readily took out a witch crystal from his pocket.

Seeing that Yihua took out the registration fee, the third-class old apprentice didn't talk nonsense, tore a piece of paper from the table and handed it to Yihua.

"Here, here is your admission certificate. It happens that the next round of audition will start in half an hour. Someone will explain the rules then. If you are interested, you can wait here for a while."

After that, several first-class apprentices came to the registration office one after another.

Half an hour passed in a flash, and soon, Yi Hua followed a middle-aged third-class apprentice leading him into the open space of the arena.

At the same time, nine first-class apprentices also entered the other entrances.

The moment everyone entered the venue, a faint blue light flashed past, and the vouchers in the hands of several apprentices burned out.

"You may not know that a black wizard is a name for a specific faction of wizards. Our Nine Ring White Tower Wizard Academy is actually not a black wizard, but a dark wizard academy."

Looking at the doubtful eyes of the surrounding apprentices, the eyes of the leading middle-aged third-class apprentice were indifferent.

"Different from bright wizards who fight in teams and live in their infancy, every qualified dark wizard is a solitary elite, assassination, sneak attack, fraud, and good at everything that is beneficial to survival."

"The battle between wizards on the mainland is ten times and a hundred times crueler than you are now! The academy cultivates elites who can stand out, not cannon fodder who die at the sight of light!"

Seeing the apprentices around gradually getting serious, the middle-aged third-class apprentice nodded and said the rules of the audition:
"In order to pass the exam in the future, and the apprentices going to the mainland to adapt in advance, the rules of the audition are - no rules, regardless of life or death, the last apprentice who is still standing on the field will be considered advanced!"

After all, several leading third-class wizards used the levitation technique and flew to the viewing seats above the arena, overlooking the field below the stage.

After the previous warning, the apprentices in the audience glanced at each other vigilantly without any communication.

At the same time, most of the apprentices quickly backed away, trying to preemptively perform their witchcraft.

There were also two apprentices who seemed to have also practiced the way of knights. Seeing this situation, instead of retreating, they drew out the swords at their waists and rushed towards the apprentice closest to them.

The scene became chaotic for a while.

One of the apprentices was too nervous and failed to perform the witchcraft. He was set on fire by several apprentices who had just successfully performed witchcraft.

A young apprentice was slashed in the stomach by the sword of a fellow knight apprentice. The boy did not seem to have learned defensive witchcraft.

The moment the sword hit, blood spattered from the abdomen, and the boy fell to the ground clutching the wound on his abdomen.

In just a short moment, two or three apprentices fell to the ground.

At this time, Yihua also basically observed the general strength of the apprentices on the field.

It is different from Yi Hua who relied on supernatural powers to be promoted to a great knight, and even enslaved second-class undead. Even if he was placed among second-class apprentices, he was not a weak one.

The strength of these first-class apprentices is indeed in the category of first-class apprentices, and the witchcraft power they display is extremely weak.

Even if Yi Hua stood still, they couldn't even break his life armor. Thinking of this, Yi Hua didn't intend to waste any more time.

He decisively summoned the undead, the space was distorted, and two skeleton knights appeared in front of Yi Hua.

"He is a necromancer, kill him first!"

Not far away, a hook-nosed young apprentice saw two moving pale skeletons suddenly appearing on the field, his expression frightened, and he hurriedly shouted.
