I raise elves in Florian

Inside the cave.

It's raining outside.

Because Frilian broke the barrier, letting the rain fall into the area, Shi Yichen and the others had no choice but to return to the cave.

"This rain really came at a bad time."

Yubel shook the rain off his hair; no one expected that Frilian would break the barrier.

"I don't think Lady Frillian did it on purpose."

Philon gathered the firewood he had collected outside and piled it up to start a fire.

"We got soaked to the bone because of her, you have to teach her a lesson."

Yubel looked at the rainy sky outside and joked that they were perfectly fine outside, and suddenly they got soaked like this.

"That's what I meant."

Philon lit a fire, agreeing with what Yubel had said, since she had also gotten soaked.

"Well, Frilian didn't do it on purpose."

Shi Yichen used a towel to wipe the rain off Yubel's body.

"Since the teacher has said so, I won't pursue the matter further."

Yubel leaned against Shi Yichen, looking completely content, and said to her,

The fire quickly blazed up, warming the entire cave.

"By the way, Philen-chan, besides basic combat magic and bird-catching magic, what other magic do you know?"

Yubel looked at Philen and asked, "I haven't seen Philen use any other magic."

"Let me think... Clothing see-through magic."

Philon thought about it seriously and said to Yubel.

"What kind of strange magic is this?"

Upon hearing this, Yubel quickly hid behind Shi Yichen. It was actually X-ray vision magic! Did that mean he had been seen naked? Moreover, he had his teacher's tattoo on his chest, which he couldn't let anyone see.

"I won't use it."

Philon looked at Yubel speechlessly. Was such a big reaction really necessary?

Although Philen said she didn't know how to use it, Yubel still didn't come out from behind Shi Yichen.

"I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation, but let's not reveal too much of our cards, since we'll be enemies once the second round of testing begins."

The bespectacled man then spoke to Philon and Yubel.

"Yes, indeed."

Yubel nodded in agreement. After all, the three of them were a group, while the bespectacled man was alone. It was better not to let him know some things.

The sky gradually darkened.

"Time's up. The first round of testing is now over. There are six teams, totaling nineteen people, who have passed the first round. The second round of testing will be held in three days. Details will be announced later. That concludes the announcement. Dismissed."

Standing in front of the camp, Genau looked at all the teams that had arrived and said that the first test alone had eliminated more than half of the people, and many had lost their lives as a result. But that was not what he cared about. Losing one's life in the test meant that one's own strength was insufficient.

After Gnaw finished speaking and dismissed the group, he disappeared from the spot the next second, telling the people to go back on their own, since it wasn't far from Vessart anyway.

Let's go back too!

Shi Yichen brought Philon and Yubel to Florian's side.

"Ah."

Frilian nodded in response, holding Shi Yichen's hand.

"Finally, we can go back. I just wonder what Mr. Shutark has been doing these past few days."

"We can go back now," Philon said happily. Her only worry was whether Shutark had gone out to fool around, but given Shutark's personality, he probably wouldn't do anything strange.

"It seems like Philon-chan likes that guy named Shutark."

Yubel looked at Philen with a teasing expression. Yubel had also seen the interaction between Philen and Shutark.

"It's not...it hasn't come to that yet."

When Yubel said that, Philon became embarrassed, and her round little face turned bright red.

"How adorable!"

Yubel couldn't help but laugh when he saw Philen's expression.

The four of them chatted and laughed as they returned to the hotel. Yubel went back to his room to rest, while Shi Yichen, Frilian, and Philon also went to their room. The room opposite was Shutark's room.

Philon stood there, looking at Shutark's room, lost in thought.

"Go ahead and go see Shutark, but don't talk too late."

Shi Yichen gently rubbed Philon's head and whispered in her ear. She could tell that Philon really wanted to go find Shutark, but was too embarrassed to do so.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow. It's already this late, Mr. Shutark should be asleep by now."

After thinking about it, Philon decided against it. She felt bad about bothering Shutark so late at night, in case she woke him up while he was sleeping.

"Then get some rest."

Shi Yichen said to Philon with a smile.

"Yes, Lord Shi Yichen."

Philon nodded and went back to his room.

As night deepened, there were no more pedestrians on the street, and the lights on both sides of the road were turned off.

After an unknown amount of time, Hugh Tarek returned to the hotel. He had been living a carefree life for the past two days. No one cared about him, and he could do whatever he wanted. He ate delicious food whenever he wanted, and he ate late-night snacks whenever he wanted. He stayed up late every night.

Shutark had no idea that Shi Yichen and the others had returned, because as a warrior, he didn't care about the affairs of mages.

"It's so late! You should go to sleep."

Back in his room, after washing up, Shutark realized it was already dawn. He hadn't expected it to be so early and quickly lay down on the bed to start his day.

(Isn't this just like when you're playing on your phone or computer? You get so engrossed in your game that you suddenly realize it's become quiet outside.)

Looking out the window, I saw that it was already getting light. I checked the time and it was three or four in the morning, so I quickly turned it off and went to sleep. But I felt like I hadn't slept long before my alarm clock woke me up around seven or eight. I turned it off again, hoping to get a little more sleep.

I was just falling asleep when I suddenly opened my eyes to check the time on my phone. Only two minutes had passed, so I went back to sleep. Then, I opened my eyes again and saw that only two minutes had passed. I went back to sleep, and when I finally woke up feeling very comfortable, it was already late. I got up and saw it was already nine or ten o'clock.

…………

noon.

Shi Yichen slowly opened her eyes. Actually, she had woken up in the morning, but looking at the sleeping Frilian in her arms, Shi Yichen didn't want to get up and continued to hold Frilian.

But it was already noon, and Frilian and Philen were still sleeping. They looked exhausted from the past two days. Shi Yichen didn't disturb them. He tiptoed out of the room to prepare lunch for them.

During the two days of the assessment, Frilian and Philon had not rested well. They were on high alert at all times and dared not relax for a moment, because the slightest carelessness could cost them their lives. This was the cruelty of the Level 1 Mage test.

Of course, this applies to Philon.
