I raise elves in Florian

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems. I trust her."

Flame gently patted Jian Ze on the shoulder. Flame trusted her disciple very much. Since Shi Yichen said there was no problem, then there definitely wouldn't be any problem.

"Yes, President."

Seeing that even Flame trusted Shi Yichen so much, Jian Ze didn't say anything more and had all the letters sent to each examinee.

. . . . . .

in the hotel.

"Frilian, as is customary, the Level 1 Mage test will have three rounds. From now on, we'll be enemies."

Lavigne looked at Frilian and said that although they were still united and friendly companions the day before yesterday, they would soon become enemies who would hurt each other.

But deep down she didn't want to be enemies with Frilian. If she encountered Frilian in the next test, she would surrender immediately because she couldn't beat her.

Lavigne and Connie were unaware that Shi Yichen would participate in the next round of testing. They simply assumed that Shi Yichen was there to observe, since he was one of the founders of the Continental Magic Association and had no reason to participate in the Level 1 Magician test.

"Yes!"

Frillie nodded as well.

Just as they were chatting, a bluebird flew to the window, clutching a letter at its feet.

Seeing this, Philon opened the window. The bluebird threw the letter inside onto the bed and then flew away. Philon picked up the letter and began to read it.

What is this?

Frilian looked at Philon and asked.

"It must have been sent by the Continental Magic Association."

Shi Yichen recognized the bluebird at a glance as the bird used by the Continental Magic Association.

"Notification of the next round of testing, the examination room and date for the second round of testing, and the names of the examiners."

Philon looked at the contents of the letter and spoke to Frilian, while Lavigne and Connie watched from the side.

"The examiner is Jian Ze! What bad luck."

Lavigne looked at the examiner's name in the letter and couldn't help but sigh. She hadn't expected that the examiner for the second round would be Jian Ze. This was not what she wanted to see.

"I finally passed the first round of tests."

Connie also said regretfully from the side, it seems they already know how strict Jianze is.

"What do you mean?"

Philon looked at Lavigne and Connie with a puzzled expression. Why were they already talking about being pessimistic before the second round of testing had even started? What did that mean?

“Jian Ze served as an examiner four times, and no one passed the exam in any of those four times.”

Lavigne told Philon that this time, Jane was once again the examiner, and the result would probably be the same as the previous four times: they would all be eliminated, except for one person: Frilian. With Frilian's strength, she could definitely pass all the tests with ease.

(They didn't know that Shi Yichen would participate in the second round of testing.)

What they didn't know was that even if Frilian passed all three tests, Celia still couldn't make Frilian succeed.

Is that so?

After hearing what Lavigne said, Philon also fell into deep thought.

Other candidates who passed the first round of tests also received notifications from the Continental Magic Association one after another.

…………

One day later.

The northern kingdoms.

The desolate tomb of the King.

The second round of testing begins.

All nineteen people who passed the first round of tests have come here.

"It's here."

Lavigne looked at the royal tomb before her. She knew a little about what was inside, and she knew that a tough battle was about to begin.

"What's wrong?"

Connie looked at Lavigne and asked.

"It's nothing, just stick close to me in a bit."

Lavigne said to Connie.

"Lavigne, look."

Connie pointed to Shi Yichen, who was standing next to Frilian.

"This is terrible, things are even worse now."

Lavigne's expression grew even more somber.

"Congratulations to the nineteen who passed the first round of testing. Regarding the test I was in charge of, I heard that there were all sorts of speculations and rumors due to the previous test results. Some of you should have heard those rumors as well."

But don't be nervous, the exam is very simple. If your goal is to become a Level 1 Mage, you should be able to pass easily. Now, let's explain the details of the second round of testing.

Jian Ze looked at the crowd in front of her and said that although there were many rumors about her before, she would not explain too much. Anyway, it was not her exam, and it was not something she should worry about.

"The second test involves navigating a maze. Your task is to conquer the Scattered King's Tomb. There is only one condition for passing: reaching the deepest part of the Scattered King's Tomb. After all, I am a pacifist and do not like fighting, so anyone who reaches the deepest part will pass."

Jian Ze looked at the desolate tomb behind her and said to everyone, "This maze was carefully selected by me. It is the place that I believe best demonstrates the strength of a mage."

"and many more."

Just as Jian Ze was about to continue speaking, a bald examinee interrupted him, and Jian Ze looked in the direction of the voice.

"No one has ever successfully conquered this labyrinth; many adventurers have gone there and never returned. Do you want everyone to fail?"

The bald examinee said to Jian Ze, because he felt that Jian Ze was deliberately making things difficult for them. This desolate royal tomb had been exposed for decades, so adventurers all wanted to successfully conquer it, but without exception, everyone died inside, and only a very few escaped.

"What are you talking about? Your goal is to reach the pinnacle of magic. A first-level magician should be able to turn the impossible into the possible. Whether it is unprecedented or not, you should overcome all difficulties and move forward."

Jian Ze looked at the bald examinee as if he were an idiot. If he couldn't even understand such a simple principle, then he might as well not take the test.

"How can we prove that we've reached the deepest point? Is bringing back gold and silver treasure enough?"

A mature, voluptuous woman in the group asked Jian Ze a question.

"No proof is needed. I will also go to the deepest part with you. Of course, I will not help you. Also, everyone, please take this bottle."

This is an escape golem developed by the first-level mage Raelen. When the bottle is broken, the golem will appear and lead the user out of the maze. Although it is still in the testing phase, its safety features are sufficient.

It will fail if you use it, but if you are unable to continue the exam due to injury or other reasons, please use it immediately without hesitation. I will not allow promising talents to die here.

Furthermore, the bottle will automatically break at dawn tomorrow; that will be the deadline for the second round of testing. Now, I declare the test open.

Jian Ze rolled up eighteen bottles with her hair and handed them all to the examinees, except for Shi Yichen's, because she didn't need them at all. Shi Yichen's record was far superior to Raelen's, so she didn't need them. After explaining the test content to the examinees, Jian Ze announced that the test had begun.
