wizards start with occlumency

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Jasmine resumed her classes, and Link was given a final exam by the academy due to his promotion to a third-level wizard.

After three days of various assessments, Link successfully received the completion certificate.

In terms of qualifications, with the training completion certificate in hand and the level of a third-level wizard, Link is fully qualified to serve as the leader of the main force.

If anyone is dissatisfied, they can stand up and question it, or challenge Link.

It's a pity that after the academy completed all the preparatory work and announced the formal establishment of the Grande main team internally and externally, no one questioned or challenged it.

In this way, the main force of Grande is legally blameless.

It’s just that the head of the group will not be able to take office in a short period of time.

According to the academy's regulations, newly promoted third-level wizards also have a half-year training period.

Considering that Link was about to participate in the selection of the Supreme Council, and after passing the test, he would have to support and test the special "stranger" Iris Clark who was in trouble, the academy was very happy to postpone Link's time for further training.

Link thus gained a brief period of freedom.

Grande's main group wants to welcome its leader, but it has to wait a while.

In less than a week of free time, Link completely perfected the design of the "Construction" suit for the Servant Corps.

After that, Link directly entrusted the suit testing work to the "Construction" project department of the Paro Sage Legion through the Paro Sage.

The subjects to undergo "Construct" implantation and effect testing are, of course, the elves, dwarves and orcs specially drawn by Link from the world of servants and soldiers.

After arranging this matter, Link received a notice from the academy that he needed to set off to participate in the selection of the Supreme Council.

He didn't even have time to summon the full members of the main team for a meeting and speech.

In desperation, Link could only entrust the main team to his little girlfriend.

"Now that's good, the main team's last name is not Kidman, but also Kidman."

Jasmine joked like this on the way to send Link out.

"I have no problem. The key is whether you are prepared or not."

Link still replied like this.

Jasmine smiled lightly and ignored Link's teasing.

After silently sending Link to the cross-border portal, Jasmine suddenly hugged Link, hugging him tightly with both hands, very hard.

"what happened?"

Link gave Jasmine a hug and asked softly.

"It's nothing."

Sensing the constant agitation of the God-eating Insect baby "silkworm" in the sea of ​​consciousness, Jasmine replied in the calmest tone possible.

"what happened?"

Link keenly noticed something strange and asked again.

"It's nothing."

Jasmine sniffed, "It's just that we have to say goodbye again, it's just a little sentimental."

Link was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then asked: "Did you have a premonition of something?"

As the god-eating insect cub "Silkworm Baby" grows up, and as Jasmine improves as a beast-control wizard, Link can no longer match Jasmine in terms of inspiration.

Therefore, it is very possible that Jasmine has foreseen a certain possibility, but Link has no premonition in this regard.

"Go ahead."

Jasmine simply didn't answer this time, let go of Link, and pushed him toward the portal.

She even turned around and left without giving Link a chance to ask.

Link looked at Jasmine's leaving figure, feeling a gloom in his heart.

"Grand Wizard, please be quick."

The wizard sent by the academy to accompany Link to the Supreme Council's selection site suddenly reminded him.

Link didn't waste any time, turned around, and followed the wizard into the cross-border portal.

Jasmine turned back and took a deep look at Link who had disappeared into the portal. Without stopping, he walked toward the rented volcano.

Before Link arranged for the real "small world" to be destroyed, the giant flame salamander, which became the spirit beast contracted by Jasmine, had already moved to the academy headquarters.

With the help of the baby "silkworm" of the God-Eating Insect, Jasmine predicts the future where Link's return from this trip is uncertain.

Although the predicted results of the God-Eating Insect are not necessarily correct, the probability of error is not high.

Therefore, after Jasmine asked Shandora and confirmed that she could not accompany Link to participate in the selection of the Supreme Council, she decided to speed up the improvement of her strength.

This time, when I went to the volcano rented by the giant flame salamander, I used a newly learned beast-control wizard witchcraft to extract some characteristics from the flame salamander to enhance myself.

Jasmine was really fed up with the pain of not being able to accompany her because of her lack of strength every time she was separated for a long time!

the other side.

With worries in mind, Link, together with the academy wizards, finally arrived at the selection site of the Supreme Council after several long-distance teleportations.

"Grand Wizard, this way."

After exiting the portal, the academy wizard identified the direction and led Link to an ordinary box-shaped building.

This building looks ordinary on the outside, but there is something wonderful inside.

As soon as you enter the door, you feel the familiar feeling of being separated from time and space.

In just a blink of an eye, the two of them arrived at the star field where the Starry Sky Fortress was monitoring the special ruined world.

Behind, up, down, left and right, there is a starry sky.

However, Link understood that he was not in the starry sky, and the floor he stepped on was still the floor of an ordinary building.

This feeling is very similar to wearing AR glasses, but it is many times more realistic.

Of course, the two wizards who appeared in the starry sky were not the only ones from Reversoth College.

This selection by the Supreme Council is aimed at the entire wizarding world.

"This way."

The academy wizard observed it and soon led Link to the gathering place of wizards on the west coast.

"Lin...Grand Wizard, I'm here."

Jessamine Michelle, the wizard from the Tower of the Great Sage of Michelle, noticed Link's arrival. An excited look appeared on her face, and she raised her right hand high and waved it.

Considering that Link took her contact information, he didn't take the initiative to send a word or even a word to her message, and he didn't even reply to her message.

Only then did he change his title from the slightly intimate "Link" to "Grand Wizard".

"I can only send you here, Grand Wizard."

The academy wizard glanced at Jessamine Michelle, who was still waving her hands, and whispered, "Everything from now on is up to you. As a friendly reminder, the witches in the Michelle family are not simple."

As soon as he finished speaking, the academy wizard turned around and left without any delay.

Link secretly remembered the reminder from the academy wizard and walked towards Jessamine Michelle with a calm expression.

Whether he likes it or not, this is his partner for this selection.

Even if there is no cooperation or poor cooperation, it is better than being hostile to each other from the beginning.

Therefore, we still need to do some face-saving work.

"Hello, Witch Michelle."

Link said hello calmly.

"Just call me Jessamine."

Jessamine Michelle put down her right hand, pouted her lips, her tone was a little unhappy at first, and then turned happy, "I didn't find you at first, so I thought you weren't coming. It's great that you can come. , I'm very happy." Link remained silent and responded with a wordless gaze.

Jessamine Michelle was talking to herself without feeling embarrassed. She raised her finger and continued: "Those who came here today are all the best among the younger generation of wizards. Most of them started as second-level wizards. Senior second-level wizards, and a very few super geniuses, are already third-level wizards."

"is it?"

Link didn't doubt Jessamine's intentions, he was just curious.

Who are the people who have been promoted to level three wizards?

It should be noted that the candidates selected by the Supreme Council this time are all truly young people who are no more than three years old than Iris Clark.

At such a young age, he can be promoted to a third-level wizard. He definitely has a bright future and a promising future.

He himself was lucky enough to be promoted due to various chances and coincidences, and with countless external help.

Of course I know how rare this is.

At this time, Link heard Jessamine Michelle sigh in a more expectant tone: "I really envy them. They can get a spot without taking any assessment."

"Do you know who are third-level wizards? Jessamine."

Link asked out of curiosity.

"I know."

Jessamine nodded matter-of-factly, and then explained in detail, "A direct descendant of the five saints, a young leader of the wizard organization founded by several senior ninth-level great sages, one of us in the Tudor Region also has one. "

"No specific name?"

Link frowned slightly and asked.

"Yes, but I don't know very well."

Jessamine pouted and hummed, "I want to see it, but the people in the Supreme Council won't let me see it, no matter how hard I beg."

Link heard this and did not continue to ask questions.

Regardless of whether Jessamine really didn't know or pretended not to know, her unwillingness to say anything was already very obvious.

Moreover, Link felt that she specifically mentioned that there was also a person from Tudor Region, which meant something.

Seeing Link acting like he didn't want to talk anymore, Jessamine opened her mouth, but finally kept quiet.

Soon, various wizards responded to the call of the Supreme Council and sent all the young wizards to participate in the selection.

At a rough count, there are about 400 people.

After so many years of development in the wizarding world, there are more than 400 wizarding organizations above the seventh-level great sage level, but no more than [-].

Like the Michel District, there are no longer a few cases where, through agreement, one person from the Tower of the Great Sage of Michel and Reversos Academy will be appointed as representatives.

As soon as everyone arrived, the starry sky immediately became strange.

Beams of light beams emitted from unknown places, shooting towards the void where the special ruined world was located.

The special world of ruins that originally existed there has disappeared.

The light pillar sank into the void, as if it was swallowed up by a black hole, and did not escape or disappear like other places.

These light beams are actually the means of the Supreme Council.

The purpose is not for illumination, nor for exploration, but just to establish a connection.

Link glanced over and found that the number of light beams was 64.

I don’t know what the meaning of this number is.

Just as I was thinking this, changes occurred again.

Each beam of light sends out a branch, shooting towards the young wizards waiting for selection.

These light beam branches are very flexible and can be twisted at will.

It's like cross-scanning.

Link instinctively wanted to avoid these branches of the light beam. As soon as he thought about it, he found that his figure had been quietly frozen and unable to move.

After passing several wizards, the two branches of light beams came to Link and Jessamine Michelle.

As if they were intelligent, the two branches of the light beam hesitated for a moment before shining on Link and Jessamine Michelle respectively, no longer twisting.

Blessed to the soul, Link immediately understood that he had passed the test of the Supreme Council.

"It turns out that the assessment is not about comparing who is stronger!"

Jessamine beside her sighed, "I thought we were going to fight, so I asked my family to arrange for me to team up with you. I didn't expect it to be that simple."

Link heard this and remained silent.

Is it simple?

This assessment method seems simple, but in fact it is the most cruel and ruthless.

Because the underlying logic is the word "destined."

What are the selection criteria?
do not know.

What are the selection criteria?

Not sure.

In the end it just gives a result.

If it conforms, it means it conforms; if it does not conform, it means it does not conform.

Those participating in the selection cannot change anything through their own efforts except accepting the results.

Watching one after another, the geniuses among the younger generation of wizards in the wizarding world were silently teleported out of the starry sky because no branch of the light beam was willing to stay and shine.

Link felt more and more that this kind of assessment and selection were cruel and ruthless.

After a while, 64 wizards remained in the starry sky.

"Is this over?"

Jessamine Michelle's tone was a little confused and very regretful, "Not a few fights? I also want to appreciate the heroic appearance of the Grand Wizard in battle up close, and see Link who is rumored to be unparalleled among wizards of his age. .Grand, how do you kill everyone?"

Link couldn't help but glance over.

This guy finally stopped playing the shy good girl?

Reveal your true nature and true colors, and no longer hide your intention to use Link as a thug and stepping stone from the beginning?

Jessamine sensed Link's gaze, grinned, and said in a sweet tone: "Why is Grand Wizard looking at me like that? Don't you recognize me? I'm Jessamine Michelle."

"Of course I do."

Link smiled slightly, "It's just that we know each other better now."

"Really? Then take care of me from now on."

The smile on Jessamine Michelle's face became brighter and her tone became sweeter.

Link nodded slightly.

If possible, he really wanted to take good care of his partner.

It doesn't matter if you are scheming, it is always more reliable than being stupid.

The only problem is that these 64 wizards entered the test as reinforcements to support Iris Krank. What will they encounter?

Link deduced from his meager experience in the first test that the more people who can help Iris Clark, the greater the help they can provide, and the test mechanism will amplify the difficulty of the test.

I believe that the wizards of the Supreme Council, especially the five saints, cannot possibly not understand this.

But the Supreme Council still firmly pushed for support for the special "stranger" Iris Clark.

It can be seen from this that Iris should have been in dire straits!
And when these reinforcements enter, they will inevitably encounter the same or even more difficult situation as Iris.

Hope it’s not too outrageous! (End of chapter)
