Chapter 95 Running-in
Victor raised his head demurely and showed a ring on his finger: "No problem, I'm ready."

Now, not only Amy, but even Jemin looked at his ring with a hint of envy.

While Victor may not be as wealthy or talented as Jemin, he does have his own advantages as a noble family with a long and distinguished lineage.

As for restrictions, there are absolutely no restrictions from the assessment workshop this time. As long as you can get your hands on it, you can even send in strategic weapons.

After all, this is a genuine interdimensional war, and the apprentices must be allowed to demonstrate their true power.

Not just Norren Workshop, but the consistent principle of the entire wizarding civilization in training apprentices is to grant "permissions" and "qualifications," but not to directly provide resources.

You have to earn all the points and resources yourself, and the ability to make money can definitely be considered part of an apprentice's overall strength.

For example, Victor's spatial ring was purchased directly from his family after accumulating points over several years.

Although his family did grant him many privileges, the points he earned to purchase the spatial ring were also earned through his own hard work.

Victor looked at the two of them with some hesitation: "I prepared an extra bottle as a backup, which I can give you, but we're still short one bottle."

"It's much better than I expected. I was originally planning to manually make advancement potions for the three of us."

Jemin stood up with a smile and dusted himself off.

“That makes things much simpler, but our top priority is to get out of this area.” Jemin pulled back the camouflage of the cave entrance and looked at the sky where another explosion had occurred.

"The workshop made too much noise by sending us in. These areas will probably be surrounded by the indigenous army soon. We need to leave here as soon as possible!"

Amy and the others had no objections.

This place is too close to the gaping hole in the dimensional barrier, making it extremely dangerous.

If it's too conspicuous, it might attract the attention of gods, let alone the army.

After reaching a consensus, the three quickly set off, cautiously traversing the primeval forest.

During their journey, Jemin used his Eye of Detection to constantly scan the surroundings, while Amy and Victor each cast enhanced Detection spells on themselves to assist in their checks.

Suddenly, Jemin paused slightly, and then Amy and Victor also stopped.

"How so?" Jemin asked.

Victor stared intently into the distance for a couple of moments, then nodded. "They're not many, and their strength is within our control. Those guys have spotted us too; they probably have some special hunting methods."

“Avoiding them would be easy, but it would probably take a longer route. I suggest we just take them out; that would save a lot of time,” Amy suggested.

Jemin didn't offer any opinion, just nodded: "Okay!"

Before long, dozens of creatures that looked like pythons with sharp claws and six legs pounced out from the bushes from all directions. They had streamlined bodies, were extremely fast, and their eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty red light.

“I’ll take the left side,” Victor said in a low voice.

Having already prepared, he raised his staff and swung it, unleashing several wind blades that precisely severed the throats of the nearest monsters, spurting blood.

Amy was equally unyielding. She made a gesture with her hands, and several scorching fireballs crashed down on the monster horde like meteors, creating loud explosions that instantly turned several monsters into charred remains.

Compared to the two's "efficiency," Jemin seemed extremely relaxed and had time to observe their coping strategies.

Judging from the ease and precision with which the two performed their magic, they had clearly put in a great deal of hard work over the past nine years. It even surprised Jemin, because their level of skill indicated they had independently developed a corresponding offensive magic model.

In previous years, this would have been an achievement that only a handful of apprentices could accomplish.

"This is about the same firepower I had a few years ago..."

While pondering these things, Jemin didn't even make any significant movements.

With just a slight tremor of the wrist, the talismanic artifact on the wrist emitted a barely audible hissing sound, like a high-speed machine gun.

Several energy projectiles formed a dense barrage at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, each projectile precisely striking a monster between the eyebrows, without any unnecessary movement or wasting a single ounce of energy.

Based on the physical reactions of the monsters after Amy and Victor unleashed their magic, Jemin slightly reduced the power of these energy blasts.

This allows it to penetrate a predator's skull without making a loud noise that would attract a more powerful being.

However, given that Amy and her partner had already caused quite a stir by making their first move, this action seemed more like a show of skill.

puff!puff!puff!
Almost instantly, the dozen or so monsters in front of Jemin seemed to have their heads crushed by an invisible hand. Their movements were stiff, and they fell to the ground dead without even having time to let out a roar.

The entire process was smooth and incredibly fast.

While Amy and Victor were still dealing with their remaining enemies, Jemin had already dealt with all the monsters that attacked him and quickly put away the rune artifacts as if nothing had happened.

Amy glanced at the "battlefield" on Jemin's side. Apart from a few extra corpses on the ground, there were almost no signs of fighting. She couldn't help but twitch her lips.

This guy's fighting style is still... infuriatingly efficient.

He turned to look at Victor, who was also looking at him.

The two looked at each other and saw the same emotion in each other's eyes.

This guy... is still such a monster!

After dealing with the monster horde and getting to know each other about the changes they had undergone over the years, the group continued on their way.

Jemin always walked at the forefront, his talismanic artifacts acting like radar, constantly scanning everything within a hundred kilometers around him.

Suddenly, a bright spot on the real-time tactical map fed back by the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror caught his attention.

Having taken control of the Eye of Reconnaissance, Jemin closed his eyes and examined it carefully, quickly understanding its capabilities.

It was a landmark structure formed from some kind of powerful natural energy—a "shrine" guarded by an elite squad of orcs.

It is located deep in an inconspicuous jungle, far from the known front lines of the wizarding army.

However, its energy fluctuations are unusually active, clearly indicating that it is an important node in the native power system of the Erosian plane.

"There……"

After carefully examining various other types of reconnaissance rune artifacts and confirming the relevant information, Jemin marked the location on the map and had a new plan in mind.

He turned to Amy and Victor, a slight smile playing on his lips: "I've found a good spot, want to give it a try?"
