The next day, within the dark major's training fields.
The dark major was one of the major majors of the Academy of Magic. The facilities within the training fields were more complete than those of the necromancy major, and the area was also more spacious. When Han Shuo arrived at the dark major's training fields, he discovered that a few people had already gathered inside. There were students preparing to take their exams, and others who had nothing better to do but come to watch the liveliness. There was constant noise within.
As the teacher of the necromancy major, Fanny sat with some of the teachers of the dark major and was busily registering the information of the students taking their exams. The old witch of the dark major, Camilla, was still teaching in the dark major's classroom under the supervision of Han Shuo's original demons and hadn't appeared here.
Han Shuo looked around when he entered and discovered that Amy and Athena were the only two familiar faces in the necromancy major. He walked over to the two girls.
"Eh, you're also here to take your exams?" Amy saw Han Shuo walk over from afar and waved a hand in greeting to Han Shuo.
Nodding, Han Shuo said, "Yes, I've never been tested before. What aspects do I need to pay attention to?"
"There's nothing to pay attention to in these kinds of tests. It's just a test of mental strength and then release a few spells for them to see. Oh, right, our necromancy major also needs to practice controlling summoned creatures. There's nothing complicated about it. It's just that advancing to adept mage is a bit more complicated. Apart from these basic tests, you also need to understand all kinds of techniques, including some comprehension of magical knowledge, and finally actually complete a mission. You'll officially graduate after passing all of this. "Athena flicked a glance at Han Shuo and opened her mouth to explain in detail to Han Shuo.
Standing on the outskirts with the two girls, Han Shuo observed for a bit. He discovered that some of the dark major students were demonstrating magic according to the rules, and then a few teachers would ask them about their current level of understanding of magic. In the end, the teachers would evaluate their grades based on their performance.
"Brian, you're preparing to determine the level of a magic apprentice?" Athena opened her mouth to ask when she saw that Han Shuo hadn't responded and was only silently observing the performance of the students in the training field.
"No, I'm here to see if I can advance into a novice mage." Han Shuo looked at Fanny, who was sitting upright on a high platform, and casually replied.
"What? Are you joking? If I remember correctly, you were still an errand boy in the necromancy major a few months ago. Are you going to advance to a beginner mage so quickly? How is this possible? "Athena raised her voice and stared at Han Shuo in shock.
"No way!" Amy exclaimed in astonishment.
With a faint smile, Han Shuo nodded affirmatively and explained, "I'm just trying, I might not pass."
Even though Han Shuo had said so, Amy and Athena still couldn't believe that Han Shuo was actually here to advance to become a novice mage. The two girls chattered non-stop until it was Amy's turn.
"Go Amy, I think you'll be able to successfully advance to a novice mage this time." When Athena heard Amy's name called, she couldn't help but encourage Amy. Han Shuo also gave her a word of goodwill.
Amy walked out afterwards and first tested her mental strength in front of everyone. She then released the Agony of the Soul, Bone Spear, and Zombie Summoning spells that a novice necromancy mage should be able to grasp, and manipulated the zombies to attack a few targets in the training field. Finally, Fanny and a few dark major teachers asked her a few questions about magic comprehension.
After waiting for a while, Fanny said, "Congratulations Amy, you're a novice mage from today on. Your information in the Magic Association will all be changed today."
Athena also walked out of the test amidst Amy's excitement. Athena went through the same steps of the test one by one. She didn't know if it was because she was nervous during this process, but the Bone Spear spell suddenly exploded in the middle. Athena also made some mistakes when faced with some questions about magic in the end.
As expected, Athena was told that she couldn't pass this time's test and returned to Amy's side with a face full of dejection. Fanny had already called out Han Shuo's name before Han Shuo could say a few words of comfort.
Han Shuo caused a small uproar as he walked calmly into the testing field. The surrounding dark major students were all very surprised to see that Han Shuo, who was originally an errand slave, had actually appeared in the great hall. They all started whispering to each other, the majority of them holding a mocking attitude as they observed this matter.
"Heh heh, don't be nervous. Just follow the previous steps and go through them. I believe that with your strength, you should be able to successfully advance to a novice mage. "Fanny comforted from above and had Han Shuo walk through the procedures.
First was the test of mental strength. Han Shuo gathered his mental strength as he faced a testing stone made of special magical materials. A dark major teacher then held the testing stone to test Han Shuo's mental strength.
His mental strength gathered very quickly due to the potential of his brain being unearthed. Previously, when some of the other students experienced the Divine Testing Stone's Spiritual Power test, the Divine Testing Stone would gradually brighten until it reached a certain brightness before stopping.
But Han Shuo's situation was a bit different. In the two breaths of time that Han Shuo gathered his mental strength, the dark testing stone didn't go through a gradual process at all. It immediately brightened, and then stopped at a fixed brightness.
"What, what's going on?" A few dark major teachers in the stands revealed astonished expressions, as if they hadn't expected the testing stone to have such a strange reaction.
"Mental strength has reached the level of a journeyman mage, unbelievable!" The teacher holding the testing stone was even more astonished as he looked at the numbers displayed on the testing stone and suddenly cried out in surprise.
Han Shuo's mental strength dissipated and his heart clenched when he saw everyone's astonishment. Han Shuo had been worried that his mental strength wouldn't be enough, which was why he'd used his full strength. In addition, Han Shuo hadn't known that the speed at which he could gather his mental strength would be so fast. After hearing Fanny's words yesterday, Han Shuo, who had originally planned on keeping a low profile, could only smile ruefully and say, "Perhaps there's a problem with the testing stone. Why don't you try another one?"
"Don't speak nonsense, how could there be a problem with the testing stone?" The dark major teacher holding the testing stone glared at Han Shuo and said with certainty.
"His brain has been affected by the Agony of the Soul magic of the necromancy major before, and he had a period of delirium afterwards. This may have caused his brain to be a bit strange, but I don't think anyone should pay too much attention to it." On the stage, Fanny first glared fiercely at Han Shuo, seeming to blame Han Shuo for showing off, and then smiled faintly as she explained to everyone.
"I see, I seem to have heard of this matter as well. Who would've thought that the Agony of the Soul magic of the necromancy major could produce such a miraculous effect. Quite interesting!" The teacher holding the testing stone said with a strange frown.
"Teacher Alex, if you're interested, I can also help you cast it once. Heh heh, but I can't guarantee that you won't go crazy! "Fanny laughed lightly as she teased.
"Forget it, I don't have the guts. Alright, this test is over, you can proceed to the next segment. " Teacher Alex of the dark major didn't say anything else and nodded at Han Shuo.
Athena would only make a mistake if she was nervous. However, Han Shuo had also experienced some trials and tribulations, and his willpower was even more extraordinary. He naturally wouldn't show any signs of stage fright.
Han Shuo deployed the three spells that novice mages should have grasped with great proficiency, without the slightest bit of rusty awkwardness. When the zombie appeared afterwards, Han Shuo's control was clearly a notch better than Amy's. The zombie's movements didn't even seem clumsy in the eyes of the audience, and actually gave off a feeling of nimbleness.
Han Shuo had an even easier time dealing with the last questions on magical knowledge. The main questioner was Fanny. Fanny knew the extent of Han Shuo's mastery of magical knowledge and didn't ask much at all. She casually asked a few questions that Han Shuo had asked her two days ago and let Han Shuo pass easily.
Without any mishaps, Han Shuo smoothly obtained the qualifications of a novice mage. Fanny smiled and said, "Congratulations Brian, your information will be registered with the Magic Association from today onwards. You're a true novice mage in the future. Heh heh, although there are many novice mages, you'll be able to find a good path in the future. But I think that with your potential, it won't be just that! "
With Fanny's blessing, Han Shuo confidently left the training grounds and headed straight for the knight school. He planned on using the black iron ore to trade with Lawrence for gold coins.
Chu Canglan's method of urging the five elemental zombies to take form required a combination of some special materials. Han Shuo had heard of some of these materials and knew that they were expensive even in this world. This made Han Shuo understand that if he wanted to refine the earth elite zombie, he would definitely need a large investment of gold coins. Gold coins had also become a problem that Han Shuo had no choice but to consider.
However, when Han Shuo was halfway there, the original demons noticed that Duke, who had been staying in the wind major all this time, suddenly left by himself at noon. He was also heading in the direction of the knight school. Han Shuo had originally planned on immediately finding Lawrence, but temporarily set aside this thought and used the original demons to observe Duke's movements.
Duke then arrived here alone and met up with Erick, who had disappeared for a few days. Apart from Duke and Erick, there was another person with them. It was the earth knight Clark that he'd met in the Dark Forest. This greatly surprised Han Shuo.
