The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

"I've already signed it, you can do whatever you want!"

Jenna had just picked up the quill pen that Greta had inadvertently placed on the table, written her name on the invitation, and was already holding the trial card in her hand.

“Me too.” Fila finished writing the last stroke and handed the pen to Mayne next to her.

"???" Julian became anxious instead: "Greta, do you have any more pens?"

"..." Greta shook her head.

Fortunately, there were only five people in total, so writing down one name was quick.

In the blink of an eye, all five people had signed the invitation.

When the invitation in their hands transformed into a {Dawn Society Trial Card}, they began to believe that this society was not some empty shell created by swindlers who might be even less capable than themselves.

Such magical items are not something that just anyone can make.

There probably isn't a single alchemist in the Lance Mage Tower who can create such magical items.

Why would a noble alchemist stoop to swindling a few apprentices?

"Trial Task One: Read the 'Dawn Society Resource List,' 'Dawn Society Mission,' and 'Dawn Society Confidentiality Regulations,' and complete the exam to become a formal trial participant of the Dawn Society. Passing the exam will reward you with one redemption privilege for various flavors of {food cards - instant noodles}?"

Jenna read out the trial mission: "Instant noodles, Greta, is that the kind of noodles you just ate?"

Greta nodded and leaned closer to look: "Your mission reward is instant noodles?"

How did she end up with {Magic Card - Cleanse Necromancer Power}, {Item Card - Compass}, {Food Card - Black Bread}, and {Food Card - Drinking Water}?
"It's just the right to redeem it..." Greta said thoughtfully, then asked the others, "What was the reward for your first trial mission?"

“Mine are gold coins…magic gold coins!” Julian said, his voice trembling.

"Good exam results will grant you the right to redeem {Item Card - Magic Coins} once."

I've been working for several years and I don't have a single magic coin.

In theory, one hundred ordinary gold coins can be exchanged for one magic gold coin, but in reality, one hundred and twenty ordinary gold coins may not even be enough to exchange for one magic gold coin!

The skill of copying scrolls can only be purchased with magic coins... This... Dawn really can't be lying, right?

“I won’t lie!” Greta said.
"I have passed the trial and become a full member. I received all the rewards they promised. However, it seems that the rewards for each person's trial are different, which may be related to what everyone wants at the moment."

Upon hearing this, Julian looked at Trial Mission Two and exclaimed in surprise: "Find a suitable spellcaster, deliver the {Dawn Academy Invitation}, and the recipient's acceptance is considered a success. Successfully inviting ten spellcasters within three months will allow you to pass the trial ahead of time, become a full member of the Academy, and gain the right to exchange for a {Knowledge Card - 'Copying Magic Scrolls'} once!"

He now only hoped that Greta was telling the truth, and that the rewards would really come to him if he completed the task!

If he learns to copy magic scrolls, he can earn more extra money and then save up to buy more spell structures!
Jenna, whose mind had been preoccupied only with that bowl of noodle soup, was extremely annoyed: "If only I had thought more about the precious magical resources!"

“It’s alright. The rewards from the trial can all be obtained after you become a full member. Just look at the ‘Dawn Society Resource List’ given in the first trial mission. The Dawn Society’s resources are beyond our imagination!” Greta said.

More than that, she was curious: "You don't have any unreleased trial missions? Only these two?"

“It’s gone!” Jenna said. “Weren’t you the same as us back then?”

Greta shook her head: "Perhaps it was because my situation was different back then!"

Julian and Jenna had fewer tasks than her, but their tasks were much more difficult. If her trial task had been this, she probably wouldn't have been able to complete it at all, let alone reach Lance City.

“At least we don’t have to worry about the Dawn Society being a fraudulent organization,” Mayne said. “I don’t think any fraudulent organization would just let us read some books and take an exam and then give us our money.”

“There are no fraudulent organizations that would write down their organizational principles!” Fila said.

"Greta, is this test difficult?" Rachel was already thinking about how to complete the first trial task more perfectly.

Her trial missions were divided into tiers, with corresponding rewards given based on performance.

“If you look at these materials carefully, there shouldn’t be any problems,” Greta said. “And you have plenty of time, so don’t rush.”

Accepting the invitation is only the first step. Only after they all pass the trials and become official members can she receive contribution points.

Five mage apprentices equal five contribution points.

Mr. Alamier has at least 10 contribution points.

That's enough for her to become a Level 2 Night Fog Apprentice.

Julian and Jenna left Greta's lounge and went back to read the materials given to them by the Dawn Society.

That night, the lights in several small cubicles in the attic of the Golden Flower Hostel stayed on all night.

Just before it was time to start work, the apprentices meditated for a while and then mustered their energy to go to work.

Even at work, I was still thinking about what I saw last night.

I've been going to the restroom much more often than before.

The items in the Dawn Society's resource list ignited their hope for the future.

While her colleagues were slacking off at work, Greta was unusually diligent today. She needed to perform well and try to make friends with a few more mages, inviting them to join the society!
She's still a long way from being a Night Observer!

Inside the restaurant at No. 21 Xue Tu Lane.

The four witches, who were having a meal, took out the {Dawn Academy Management Card} to check on the progress of the new member.

Then: "Greta has invited five mage apprentices to participate in the trial?"

After seeing Greta accept the invitation and become a full-fledged student last night, they went about their own business with peace of mind.

As a result, just one night later, the number after the "Members in Trial" column changed from "1" to "6".

The five extra people were all invited by Greta.

“Jenna…I think I’ve heard someone call out that name at the Golden Flower Hostel restaurant. She must be Greta’s colleague!” Lilith said.

"As expected of our first human contractor, this ability to develop downlines is truly impressive!" Moran said with satisfaction.

She had a premonition that her permanent magic power would soon experience an explosive increase.

In the Duchy of Lance, there are nearly 30,000 mage apprentices!
Once five hundred people become official members, her magic level will immediately surpass the peak level! (End of Chapter)
