Chapter 31 The Final Assessment
Chapter 31 The Final Assessment
"This day has finally come!"
In the teaching area, Ian stood at the back of the classroom, watching one wizard apprentice after another around him.
Compared to their initial awkwardness when they first entered the school, they now all appear much more mature.
"Lucy, Levi, Baker, Rune, Harman, Logan..."
Ian's gaze always habitually swept over those second-tier wizards, as if scrutinizing them.
Compared to six months ago.
By this time, he had grown up a lot.
The number of imprinted mental energy runes is eight.
He has learned dozens of tricks and possesses several instant-cast combat spells, making him quite formidable in combat.
Especially his ability to cast instant spells; even many second-tier wizard apprentices who are unaware of this could be instantly killed by him.
That's his confidence.
The gap between low-level wizard apprentices is not as large as one might imagine.
There are also courses on the fundamentals of pharmaceutics.
Potion identification and secondary hemostatic agents.
The former had already mastered it through repeated practice.
This skill requires a lot of reading to improve; without magic stones, it simply cannot be improved.
Even so, no one in his generation could surpass him, especially after he acquired photographic memory.
And then there are secondary hemostatic agents, which have reached the level of expert pharmacists, even more so than many professional pharmacists.
so.....
"A lot of people are paying attention to me!"
Ian felt a lot of attention and a sense of smugness crept into his heart, a feeling he himself was unaware of.
Waiting silently.
A while later, Qiao Lan arrived.
She looked calmly at the group of wizards and spoke slowly.
"The final assessment is based on the number of runes, with a minimum of C- and a maximum of A+, for a total of nine levels. Only one C- is required, while nine A+ runes are needed."
The rules were announced, and the testing began immediately.
"Rodri, five mental runes, B."
The first apprentice quickly stepped forward and received the result.
This is considered a good level within the school of thought.
Until a wizard with third-class talent appeared.
"Runes, seven, A-."
Rune was the first person present to receive an A-, which made him smile broadly. At that moment, he seemed to have regained his confidence.
Before going down, his gaze lingered on Ian in the distance.
"Having taken the advanced mental potion sponsored by the Oak family, I'm still only at the third-tier talent level. This time, I'm sure I can surpass you."
He pursed his lips.
Although he couldn't defeat Ian in combat and potion-making, he was on par with Ian in meditation.
This time, I'm taking a mental energy recovery potion.
Even with Victor's support, Ian was still able to achieve this.
With the same external support, it all comes down to talent.
"In this respect, he is no match for me!"
Rune's eyes gleamed, a sign of his greatest confidence.
Even in a group of over a hundred people, his third-class talent was among the top.
"Lucy, eleven, A+."
Upon seeing Lucy, who possessed second-class talent, Rune immediately lowered his head.
He looked down on those with lower talents, while simultaneously admiring those with higher talents.
"Eleven! No wonder they have second-class talent!"
Ian also remarked with emotion.
The further you progress in spiritual power runes you go, the harder they become to condense. Eight runes were already his limit, but Lucy surpassed him by three.
Even if you give him another quarter, he might not be able to achieve it.
"But one day, I will also reach the second-tier talent level."
Ian pursed his lips, his eyes sparkling.
Soon it was Levi's and Baker's turn, both of whom got ten A+ grades.
"Harman, seven, A-."
Standing in front of the crystal ball, Harman breathed a sigh of relief.
Rose left him with ample resources before leaving, and he lived up to expectations, achieving an A-.
"There is still hope."
Harman was a little nervous, observing each wizard who followed.
Even those who were previously in the top ten are now basically at the level of seven, which has made him feel much more relaxed.
"Ian, eight psychic runes, A!"
The first A was born.
At this moment, Qiao Lan also looked at Ian in surprise, seemingly not expecting that he, a person of average talent, would get the first A.
In the distance, Lucy also pursed her lips, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
The few apprentices they invested in only reached a maximum of seven mental runes, surpassed by Ian.
I should have agreed back then.
"How is this possible?" Harman looked astonished, his eyes flashing with disbelief.
Two runes were condensed in one month.
Even with the help of potions, it's not something someone with a fourth-tier talent could do.
"Could it be that Victor really went all out? Or is it..." Harman found it hard to believe.
"Our boss is amazing!"
Everyone in the mutual aid society was shocked, after all, this was the first A.
The test ended quickly. Besides the three A+ results, there were only two A results: Ian and another wizard.
In other words, he achieved a top-five ranking in at least this one test.
The combat course has no tests; the grade is determined by an overall assessment of the student's performance throughout the course.
So after Ian and the others finished their tests, they went directly to the classroom for the pharmacy tests.
The pharmaceutics fundamentals test is divided into two parts.
Written exam and drug preparation.
The former was completed quickly.
The latter involves twenty people taking turns, with the wizards from the Potions Department supervising the exams.
"The Wizard Vivian!"
Ian looked at the beautiful woman with gold-rimmed glasses in front of him, never expecting that the proctor would be this wizard.
"Start the test!"
Vivian's sharp eyes observed each wizard taking the test and assigned them scores as they went.
Soon it was Ian's turn.
A third-class wizard apprentice naturally has an excellent memory, which reminded him that this was a wizard whom Victor had high hopes for.
"It's just third or fourth-rate talent!"
Vivian didn't care.
only....
"Something's not right."
However, when he saw Ian's fluid and graceful movements, even his aloof expression showed a hint of surprise.
This level of proficiency?
Are you kidding me?
Vivian was shocked; even Victor back then could never have achieved such proficiency.
No wonder Victor thinks highly of him.
"However, mental strength is still the core. If you fail the meditation test, you're doomed."
Being a potion-making genius is naturally extremely important to her, but there are strict requirements for entering the potion department.
At least an A- or higher in meditation.
"I hope we can achieve that."
Vivian adjusted her glasses and gave Ian an A+ without hesitation.
.....
Because of the written exam, the Potions course was not announced immediately.
Instead, it will be announced together with other results three days later.
In the blink of an eye.
Three days have passed.
On this day, a huge piece of paper was pasted on a large stone slab in front of the teaching area.
The ranking above shows the ranking of all the wizards this time.
From top to bottom, they are Lucy, Levi, and Baker.
"Fourth, Roger, sorcery course A, combat course A+, potions course A+."
"Fifth, Ian, sorcery A, combat A+, potions A+."
