Half-elf Notebook

"The rest depends on you, Ina, although for you, it's probably just a formality." Shu Xi pointed inside and went in first.

When you walk in, the first thing you see is ten solemn embossed wooden tables with crystal balls on them.

But no apprentices and personnel stayed there yet.

It can be seen that in order to ensure the fairness of the test, the tester does not allow irrelevant personnel to tinker with the test equipment before the test.

The apprentices and their relatives who were waiting for the selection results sat or stood on both sides of the stepped lobby, where there were church-specific benches, and the whole thing looked like a hearing seat in a court of justice.

Shu Xi ignored the two of them and walked towards the judges' seat.

A waiter politely gestured for the two to wait on the sides. Ina sat down and began to look around boredly at the thirty or forty apprentices of the same age as herself.

"There are only 8 of them... and most of them have only a tiny bit of magic power." The white-haired girl roughly scanned everyone with her magic power, thinking in amazement.

She knew that her identity was somewhat special, but she didn't expect the gap to be so huge.

"After getting used to living with an uncle, I suddenly look back at my past life as a wanderer..."

"Hey! Hello, you are also an apprentice here to participate in the magic test, right?" A lively call suddenly interrupted Ina's thoughts. She looked up in surprise, and reflected in her green eyes was a young, blonde girl with a ponytail.

She had exquisite features and her clothes were quite luxurious. The sleeves and neckline of her striped dress had exquisite lace, and the fabric seemed unusually expensive.

Even in the coldest season, the other person's clothes still don't look bulky.

She must be the daughter of some wealthy merchant or nobleman.

Ina, who was half a head shorter than the blonde girl, thought so.

And matching her appearance and clothing, the blonde girl was also one of the few apprentices in the field whose sense of magic could be sensed.

"Who are you?" Ina was about to ask when the list of candidates for the next batch of magic tests was announced, and her name was on it as expected.

Just as the white-haired girl stood up, she found that the blonde girl seemed to be about to go down as well.

"What a coincidence, we are from the same batch." She smiled at Ina, her smile as bright and gentle as the scorching sun.

"Possessing magic power is the most basic and necessary qualification for a magician. Magic power is the link to the origin and the prerequisite for building magic arrays, making any magic items, and practicing meditation. Here we will test whether you are qualified to open the door to the magic hall. This will be the starting point of your great magic path. I hope that some of you can become our partners on this path! I wish you all the best, children."

The apprentices took their seats one after another. Shu Xi, the supreme director and test organizer, officially announced the start of the test after reading the script.

Arthur Lee No Magic

Liz Gellisner No Magic

Rocco Fink - A Dash of Magic

The apprentices demonstrated their magical powers one by one, and the magicians calmly stated the information displayed by the crystal ball as they passed by.

The test is very simple, so pure that any refined skills and extensive knowledge are of no use at this moment.

In Shuxi, under the noses of several magician judges and guild directors, assisting magic props and magic potions was undoubtedly equivalent to giving up voluntarily.

Maybe occasionally there are lucky ones who successfully awaken with the help of pressure and the slightly stronger natural magic here, but they are always only a minority.

Soon it was the white-haired girl's turn to be the subject.

Shu Xi and the directors came to the front of her crystal ball.

"Let's get started." One of the directors repeated what he had said to each apprentice in a calm tone.

Ina placed her hand lightly on the surface of the crystal ball, and guided the magic to her palm as she usually controlled it. The magic seeped into the sphere from her palm, and a deep emerald green color appeared in the crystal ball, like a drop of thick ink dropped into clear water, and then spread out - until the entire crystal ball was dyed emerald green.

" !" All the wealthy, nobles and celebrities who witnessed this scene were shocked. The common people might not know what this meant, but they knew it very well.

The crystal ball soon underwent new changes. The emerald green gradually faded to gray, and finally stabilized at gray.

Except for Rick, Shu Xi and several directors, everyone present could not hide their shock, but they had restrained themselves a lot compared to their previous gaffes.

"Ina West, officially the magician." The director's voice was as calm as ever, but his title had already established Ina's identity.

A formal magician is different from a magic apprentice, and is even more different from an apprentice who has just awakened his magic power.

It is a respectful title for those who have officially entered the magic hall and become seekers on the path of magic. At this time, their magic will no longer exist like a magic trick, but a real skill to kill enemies and creations.

"Aishia Berleman, trace amount of magic."

With the end of the patrol test, 70% of the apprentices had bitter faces, some couldn't help crying, and the rest had nothing to do with them. Maybe in the future they will have the opportunity to push open the door of the magic hall, but at least for now they can only leave sadly.

Ina and the remaining apprentices will wait for a while, waiting for the craftsmen to carve their names on the vivid copper and iron plates. They are the new batch of magicians in the kingdom.

Some apprentices were already hugging and crying with their relatives, while some businessmen and nobles began to promise their children about their future.

"How did you do it? Tell me, please, tell me." Obviously the white-haired girl didn't have the chance to talk to Rick first.

The blonde girl came up to her when it was over, and her fair hands tightly grasped the corner of Ina's clothes. Her golden eyes were full of confusion and curiosity, and even a hint of unwillingness.

Aixia kept getting closer, and the soft touch of her chest made Ina's delicate and fair face feel hot, so that her emerald-like green eyes could only dodge left and right.

I didn't dare to look into those curious eyes.

"Too close, too close." Ina hurriedly pushed the blonde girl away.

"Sorry, sorry, I was too excited." Aixia quickly made an apologetic gesture and stuck out her tongue.

"It's really amazing that he's been a formal magician from the beginning." Aixia's golden eyes showed admiration.

For many people who study magic, becoming a formal magician has become a lifelong goal.

"I'm a half-elf, so it's not surprising that I can do this." Ina explained, "Unlike humans, elves are closer to ancient races such as Warcraft, Dragons, Titans, etc., and have considerable magical compatibility and affinity with nature... According to some ancient mythological books, red dragons, angels, and high-level demons with the highest magical compatibility may be born as high-level strongmen... and they often have long lifespans."

Of course, Ina herself was not too sure about the last point. After all, she had never seen even one immortal being.

"Could it be that Senior Ina is already an elf in her twenties or thirties? She looks so cute." Aixia covered her mouth with her hand, looking a little surprised.

"Fourteen years old! Half-elves' appearance and growth before adulthood are the same as humans! Don't use their own age as an example!" Ina glared at Aishia.

However, Ina also noticed that Aisha was different. She didn't seem surprised about her half-elf identity. Whether it was the way she spoke to this stranger with heterochromatic eyes just now, or the way she teased her now, it was as if she had already known her identity, or at least had considerable guesses about it.

But Ina soon felt relieved, as Aixia was obviously a child from a wealthy family.

Unlike ordinary people who need to make a living, rich people often have access to more unnecessary but extensive knowledge.

Amid the occasional casual chat, the craftsmen completed their work, and the servants came to the apprentices carrying a tray covered with red lining cloth.

On top of the lining was a copper-iron badge and a parchment scroll tied with a string.

These are the Magic Association's recognition of them.

Except for one badge which is particularly different, its base is made of copper and the pattern is made of silver.

It is engraved with the name of its holder - Ina West.
