It’s getting harder and harder to be a villain these days

This exam is an extension of Weekly's class. Although it is difficult, it is guiding them to grow and become stronger. This is the feeling they will have if they take the exam.

These test questions are consolidating their memory, integrating the unfamiliar formulas in class and turning them into something of their own.

"Do you think there is a risk of wizards discussing with each other and colluding on answers in this open-book exam?"

The reporter's innocent question almost made Sophie spit out her coffee. She smiled slightly and shook her head.

"This is impossible. Under competition, no wizard will selflessly contribute all his intelligence.

come out……"

"And even if someone really colludes, it's useless. Forget the first two written test questions, the rest of the questions require magic input."

"The nature of magic power is different for each person. The same method may not be applicable to another person, and may even cause serious loopholes, which will be seen at once."

"That's it."

The reporter nodded, although he didn't understand what the other person was talking about.

"Then, 10 minutes are up and it's time for me to go back."

The two parties agreed that the interview would last for 10 minutes, and she could leave after this time.

Sophie got up, packed the remaining coffee and bread, and walked away quickly.

-----

On Monday morning, Olivia woke up in the laboratory and used magic to simply heat the lunch box.

She was eating while looking at the test papers on the table.

[7. When the core of magic meets the following five conditions, the whole formula will be derived and the magic will be entered into the test paper, the details are as follows...]

According to the requirements of the question, Olivia tried her best to construct magic, but it still didn't work.

"what……"

The light blue magic exploded and the magic collapsed.

Olivia sighed, counting yesterday as a full day, but she still couldn't solve it.

And today, she has to take other exams...

"..."

Olivia left the laboratory and walked towards Associate Professor Kitty in front of the elevator.

"Are you going to give up or go out?" Kitty asked.

"Because other exams require me to go out temporarily."

"Okay, registration is complete, Olivia, you can go~"

Olivia then went to the 12th floor of the Mage Tower to take the summoning magic test.

-----

Two hours later, Olivia was on her way back to the exam room on the 30th floor after finishing her exam.

The maids and attendants who had been waiting by the elevator had brought today's lunch and dinner boxes.

"Come on, miss! Nothing is a problem!"

"Future great wizard, come on!"

With their support, Olivia walked into the elevator.

It was strange that she should have felt stressed during such a long exam, but she had never felt that way.

Even if she was stuck on question [-] for a day, her mood was no different from usual, and she was very relaxed.

A possibility that she had never thought of was taking root in her heart...

"Don't worry, you will become stronger than anyone else."

Remembering what Vickrey had said to herself, Olivia was no longer confused and re-entered the examination room.

In laboratory 23.

Olivia transformed her examination room into a hotel. She used magic to create a bed with not only quilts and pillows, but also brought many books and papers for reference.

She sat on the desk and started to challenge the seventh question again.

1 hours.

2 hours.

3 hours.

……

The more time passed, the more Olivia devoted herself to it.

Working hard to this extent is not only because the question is difficult, but also because it is valuable and worth persevering on.

If it was just difficult for the sake of difficulty, Olivia would have left long ago. She would not waste her time on such a rubbish question.

But that's not the case this time.

Every question represents a new possibility and direction, and every choice may lead to unexpected changes, perfectly reflecting the ever-changing nature of magic itself...

The answer is not the only one. In addition to maximizing their application of knowledge, Weekly also retained their original flexible thinking and was not bound by the framework of the problem.

Olivia sincerely admired Weekley's magical attainments.

Especially starting from the sixth question where the difficulty rises sharply, as wizards, this is undoubtedly tapping their own potential.

If they insist on answering all these test questions, their wizards will basically rise by one level.

Compared to the process, the recommendation letter is more incidental.

In this way, another 9 hours passed.

10 hours.

11 hours.

"!"

Chapter 82 Sophie burst into tears

Counting the 18 hours yesterday and the 14 hours today, the total is 32 hours of unremitting efforts.

Finally solved the seventh question.

The magic that Olivia continued to build bloomed with blue light, and the entire magic appeared as a sphere, attached in mid-air.

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth.

Five elements intertwine and swirl, emitting soft light.

Olivia was captivated by its beauty.

But soon, she looked at her watch and sighed.

It's eight o'clock at night...

I have to take the next exam again.

After freshening up, Olivia once again walked out of the mage tower in the most perfect posture.

Even at night, there were still many people near the mage tower, so she chose the side road.

By chance, she met someone.

"Oh? Olivia?"

A wild Sophie appears with a rather arrogant attitude.

"Are you going to the annex to take the exam?"

Sophie asked, holding a robe in her hand.

But Olivia didn't reply and was still walking on her own.

But just as they passed each other, the two of them spoke in unison.

"you do

What question is it? "

"..."

Olivia kept silent, she spoke first before the other party.

Sophie shrugged, not that she cared.

"...I'm solving question 7, what about you?"

"Question 8." Olivia answered frankly.

"What! You've already untied it?!"

Sophie's eyes widened.

"Still under study."

"...It's so fast. I'm still stuck on question 7."

Sophie smiled wryly and scratched the back of her neck.

Olivia glanced at her and walked away.

But for some reason my heart seemed a little tangled.

Have you actually solved the seventh question?It went much faster than she expected, and there was only one question left...

Is Sophie lying?Or am I too slow?

Olivia became sulky for no reason.

Mainly it’s a matter of time…

There is only one real exam.

But she was robbed of too much time by those 'fake products'...

----

At the same time, Sophie, who was separated from Olivia, came to a cafe. During the exam, she spent almost 50 Galleons just drinking espresso.

Before entering the coffee shop, she now looked around to see if any reporters were present.

In Sophie's mind, the formula 'reporter = interview = free meal ticket' has been established.

"……There's none."

Disappointed, Sophie bought coffee and brioche with her own money.

As soon as she sat on the chair in the cafe, she remembered Olivia's words.

"Is it already the 8th question? But I have been stuck on the 7th question for two days..."

She simply didn't know how to spend the past two days, and her emotions were like a roller coaster.

Sometimes the anger is ready to come out, and I will suddenly go crazy halfway through the problem.

But the revelation she got by chance would calm her down, and the happiness she felt like the first melting snow was incomparable to anything else.

"Ugh……"

Sophie projected the magic structure on her fingertips and thought about the seventh question while eating bread.

Suddenly she wondered what Weekley was doing.

Where is the culprit who asked such difficult questions? He has not even come to the examination room these days.

"Hmph, I must unravel it and show it to you."

Sophie thought of the bread as vickert and chewed it hard. After eating and drinking, she walked out of the cafe...

On the way straight to the mage tower.

Suddenly, a meteor streaked across the night sky and caught her attention.

Sophie raised her head. In the dark sky, the moon hung in the middle, and the stars surrounding it emitted warm light...

"...!"
