It was the same square as three years ago.
However, Grimm now found that quite a number of apprentices had 'accidentally' died in the past three years.
"There are 1577 apprentices from Black Isotta Academy participating in the Newcomer Trial. In a moment, you will be given a map of the trial field. As long as you survive in the field for a month and come back safely, you will pass the trial."
On the high platform, a Magus shouted in an encouraging tone, but there was a strange excitement in the depths of his voice.
"It's that simple? No way!"
"What's going on? What's going on with this year's Bloody Millstone? "
Many sorcerer-apprentices below the stage were discussing spiritedly. They felt that this "simple" newcomer trial was inconceivable.
On the other side, Lafite, Grimm, Chris, Anna, Robinson, and Robin were standing together.
Robinson frowned and said, "It doesn't make sense. I've heard from previous apprentices that every ten or so years, there would be a particularly high quality and large number of apprentices. I thought it would be our year, so the academy would arrange some unimaginably horrible trial. But the goal of the trial is simply to survive? "
Robin pouted and said, "Hmph, maybe we'll be thrown into a place full of wizard-level monsters. Let's see if you can still say it's simple then."
"Bah, bah, bah! How is that possible?"
Robinson hurriedly interrupted Robin, afraid that this guy would hit the mark.
"It should be impossible."
Grimm shook his head and said with certainty, "If it's really that kind of place, it would be lucky if one-tenth of the students could come back alive. As for those three …"
Grimm pointed at Kyrie, Bibiriona, and Sam, who were at the forefront of the crowd.
"Even those three can't guarantee that they will survive."
Chris said, "The map has been sent over. We'll know after looking at it."
"Wow …"
All the Sorcerer-Apprentices who received the trial map were in an uproar, as if they had discovered something unbelievable.
As soon as Glenn touched the map, he didn't even have the time to look at it before he saw a chain made of ink directly imprint itself on Glenn's forehead in a mysterious space-time shuttling method. Then, a black chain pattern appeared on Glenn's forehead.
Frowning, Grimm ignored the pattern and looked at the map in his hand.
However, Grimm had only taken a few glances when he sucked in a breath of cold air. There was an uproar.
1. For this trial, there will be an uninhabited area of 300 meters in length and width in the Bramble Forest. There will be a reminder barrier around the area, and no one is allowed to leave the barrier within a specified time. Anyone who leaves without permission will be killed by a wizard.
Secondly, the participants of this trial are all the new batch of Sorcerer-Apprentices of the Holy Tower of Seven Rings' 12th District.
The Sorcerer Academies are: Black Isotta Academy, Mandala Academy, Dark Realm Sorcerer Academy, Bone Bell Tower Sorcerer Academy, Hourglass Sorcerer Academy, and Ivory Castle Sorcerer Academy.
3. The trial field has arranged for three secret areas to be opened at different times.
The first secret area will be opened on the day of the trial. There will be a total of 100 secret areas with high-grade Sorcerer-Apprentice level magic devices.
The second secret area will be opened ten days later. There will be a total of 10 secret areas with powerful consumable magic devices.
The third secret area will be opened 20 days later. There will be a total of 1 secret area with precious potions and wizard's notes that can increase Sorcerer-Apprentice's mental strength.
4. The mark on the forehead will automatically absorb other Sorcerer-Apprentice's mark after killing them.
At the end of the trial, for every mark added, one would receive 500 Sorcerer's Stones from the academy.
No wonder Grimm was in an uproar. Although the Sorcerer Academy did not force any Sorcerer-Apprentice to kill each other …
But!
All of the conditions on the map were telling the acolytes that only by constantly killing could they increase their strength. Only then would they be able to be safer and complete the trial more safely!
However, in theory, there were still two ways to pass the trial.
The first way was to hide for a month until the trial ended and return to the academy. There was a lot of luck involved in this.
The second way was to fight for treasures in the constantly opened secret areas. This way, one's strength would grow to the point where others would not dare to provoke him.
"500 magic stones! This will drive a lot of Sorcerer-Apprentices crazy! "
Grimm did not need any hesitation at all.
With Glenn's great mental strength and the superimposition of a large number of precious sorcery tools, it would be very difficult to find an enemy that could pose a threat to Glenn, unless it was someone like Kyrie, Bionna, or Sam, who had a rare gift and were nurtured by a Level-2 Sorcerer as soon as they entered the Sorcerer School.
Such a large number of magic stones could increase one's strength very quickly. This was also a kind of Sorcerer's wisdom!
Of course, this was only for the first 20 days of the secret area's opening.
After 20 days, if Sorcerer-Apprentices obtained those consumable magic devices, then it would be another story.
"This … this is forcing us into a dead end!"
Robinson howled in anguish.
Chris sneered. "Heh heh heh heh, I've been longing for a chance like this for a long time. Just like the fight on the cruise ship. For the past three years, we've been working day and night to improve our strength. Isn't it for this moment in the trial? The difference is that we used to be weak and could only rely on Lafite's protection. Now we … "
Everyone looked at Lafite. Lafite's tight-fitting robe revealed his long white legs. Although his chest was covered by the robe, it still could not hide his great stature. He stared at the map with a pair of sharp eyes, with an unquestionable and inviolable temperament.
Lafite thought for a while and looked at everyone calmly. "According to my speculation, we will enter the trial area randomly. Among the six of us, there are Anna, Robinson, and … "
Lafite glanced at Grimm and continued, "And Grimm, you three are not good at fighting. On the first day, try to protect yourselves and stay away from the Secret Realm. The other three will try their best to get the magic devices in the Secret Realm. After that, we'll meet up with each other to prevent chaos and slaughter, and to prepare for the second opening of the Secret Realm. "
"Got it."
They were used to Lafite's arrangement, so they didn't care.
Grimm said in a low voice, "Actually, I've prepared a lot. I'm sure I can get the magic devices."
"You …" Lafite glanced at Grimm. He didn't think that Grimm, who had just become an apprentice half a year ago, was capable of anything. But considering his pride, he didn't say anything.
Lafite said to the others, "Just now, the other thirteen elders of the Death Sail League asked for a meeting. Sam has become one of them. I think they're going to discuss the Secret Realm for the last time. I'm leaving."
However, Lafite had only taken two steps and paused for a moment. Then, she turned around and hugged Grimm, kissing him passionately. Everyone's jaws almost dropped to the ground.
Being kissed in public, especially when all of his friends were present, Green's heart almost jumped out of his chest, and his eyes widened.
Lafite?!
"Be careful. Don't die."
Lafite stuffed an earring into Grimm's hand and left without looking back.
It was only then that the crowd came back to their senses. They surrounded Grimm and stared at him as if they were wolves looking at a little lamb, howling and yelling at the top of their lungs.
"Whoa … Grimm, explain to us right now, what's going on? Did you and Lefay …"
Robinson was the first to jump out. His face was as excited as the ass of the monkey that Grimm had dissected.
Grimm hurriedly said, "No, no. Nothing happened between me and Lafite."
"Nothing happened? That meant that everything had happened! Haha, Grimm, don't try to cover up with your stupid explanation. As a man, I know everything! "
Robinson patted Grimm's shoulder and laughed.
Robin stepped hard on Robinson's foot, blushing, "What do you know?"
"Ah … I'm sorry, my dear wife. Be gentle, be gentle. If I get hurt, I won't be able to run in the trial …"
Robinson howled in anguish.
On the other side, Chris murmured after being shocked for a long time, "Great, great. The Venomous Tongue Queen finally has a man. What a blessing for the Death Sail League …"
The half of Anna's face that was not covered by the mask was blushing. Girls of her age yearned for love. Seeing this scene, she was naturally looking forward to the love that belonged to her.
Anna York walked to Grimm's side with a charming smile on her face. "Brother Grimm, let me put on the earrings that Sister Lefay gave you."
Under Grimm's irresistible request, Anna gently put the earring on Grimm's left ear and matched it with the Eternal Earring on his right.
"Brother Grimm, this earring is called the Heart of Vines. Lafite used this earring to cast the Vine spell on the ship."
Anna explained.
The Heart of Vines?
It was probably because of this earring that the apprentices on the ship called Lafite the Vine Spellcaster Heavenly King in private.
Grimm smiled bitterly. In Lafite's eyes, he was still the little guy who needed her protection.
Although he wanted to show that he was not a weakling who needed protection, this warm feeling of being cared for made Grimm feel inexplicably happy.
"Is … is this what it feels like to be in love?"
About half an hourglass later, under the guidance of more than ten wizards, one apprentice after another walked onto a huge scale.
As a large number of magic stones on the other side of the scale turned gray and unremarkable, the figures of the apprentices on the other side also blurred and disappeared under the power of distorting space.
