Wizard: I use my omniscience to interpret the truth.

"Excellent, this test has indeed given us a pleasant surprise, and I am very satisfied."

Klevin looked around and said with a smile.

"If you can continue to satisfy me afterward, in exchange, I will tell you some common knowledge about the wizarding world after the test is over."

Byron keenly noticed that when Klevin said this, Andrei glanced at him without making a sound.

What does this mean? Is there something fishy going on here?

Thinking of this, Byron became secretly vigilant and dared not be careless in the slightest.

"Perform well now, and we'll move on to the next test."

Klevin said nothing more and turned to signal Andrei to continue guiding the group.

Then, led by Andre, the group arrived at a huge astrolabe device carved entirely from dark blue rock.

The astrolabe is inlaid with gemstones of different colors, making it look exceptionally dazzling and beautiful.

Many girls' eyes lit up at the sight, completely mesmerized.

"Just like before, place your hands on it to test your elemental affinity and see which wizarding path you are best suited for. Let's begin."

The tests continued one after another, the gems on the horoscope lighting up and dimming, dimming and lighting up again.

Byron, observing the group, keenly observed that those who tested high mental strength usually also tested high elemental affinity, and vice versa, with only a few exceptions.

Furthermore, during each person's test, more than one gem on the horoscope lit up, but the intensity of the light varied, and each had its own emphasis.

However, due to insufficient information and knowledge, Byron was unable to understand why this situation had occurred.

Soon, it was Byron's turn.

He took a deep breath and placed his hand on the astrolabe.

The next second, the silver gem on the star chart suddenly lit up, its light dazzling and bright. The light of the other gems that lit up afterward was almost negligible in comparison.

Upon seeing this, Klevin's eyes flashed with surprise, and he then remarked with emotion.

"Hmm... spatial elements dominate, that's not very common. Plus, you have over three points of mental strength, so your aptitude is pretty good."

As he spoke, Clevin smiled at Byron and nodded slowly.

Faced with Clevin's goodwill, Byron dared not be negligent and quickly returned the courtesy with a slight bow, following the etiquette he remembered from the nobility.

He didn't know if Klevin was familiar with this etiquette, but the proper manners had to be observed.

Although Klevin didn't say much, his smile widened, and he waved his hand, signaling Byron to step aside.

Byron turned respectfully and rejoined the group.

Time passed slowly, and the remaining two tests—soul strength and comprehension—were quickly completed.

After learning the results of his four tests, Byron felt completely relieved.

Apart from its relatively high elemental affinity, the other three attributes are all above average.

Such achievements should allow one to conceal their abilities to the greatest extent possible, and in the short term, there should be no need to worry about being exposed.

After all the tests were completed, everyone gathered together again, their eyes fixed on Andre and Klevin standing in front of them, their eyes full of anticipation.

Klevin glanced at the silent Andre, understood, and turned to look at the others.

"All tests are complete, and I am satisfied with the results. In exchange, I will keep my promise and tell you some common knowledge about the wizarding world."

At this point, Klevin revealed a dazzling smile that sent chills down everyone's spine.

"First of all, I want to congratulate you on being born in the primordial plane, not in other planes that have been conquered and transformed by other wizards, nor in those untamed, wild planes."

Klevin's voice rang out slowly, tinged with a condescending pity.

"Otherwise, most of you will spend your whole lives as cannon fodder. The lucky ones will become battle wizards who only fight on the battlefield. Only a very few will become orthodox wizards and pursue the truth."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand now. Once you enter the academy and become wizard apprentices like the two of us, you will understand what I mean."

Upon hearing this, although no one understood the meaning behind it, they still trembled and felt a nameless fear arise in their hearts; some even broke out in a cold sweat.

Klevin didn't stop there; he continued speaking.

"Secondly, you have caught up with the best of times. After conquering one plane after another, our wizard civilization has become extremely rich in resources."

"You don't need to be like the apprentices of hundreds of years ago, crammed into dilapidated wooden boats like livestock, and slaughtering each other on the vast ocean!"

In the end, only a dozen or so people were allowed into the academy, solely to select elites for further training and avoid wasting resources.

"You will no longer have to toil away every day for magic stones after entering the academy, hindering your studies and preventing you from focusing on the pursuit of truth."

Upon hearing this, Byron couldn't help but conjure up images of bloody battles, and a strong stench of blood seemed to waft towards him through the air.

He finally understood that the path of a wizard was never a smooth one, but rather paved with corpses and blood.

"Because the academy or certain organizations can provide you with initial resources to help you become wizard apprentices, officially begin your wizarding journey, and become wizards like us."

Before he finished speaking, a fireball suddenly flew from Andre's hand and out of the sailboat, exploding in the sea of ​​clouds outside.

Pieces of white clouds shattered, and fiery rain danced across the sky.

Upon witnessing this scene, everyone present held their breath, their eyes filled with horror.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Klevin paused before continuing.

"Of course, following the truth of equivalent exchange, you also need to pay a tiny, insignificant price."

"If anyone is interested, they can come and find me after today, and I will explain in detail. There's no need to waste time here."

These words were incredibly moving. The eyes of the young men and women present instantly burned with passion, and their fear and anxiety were replaced by anticipation and longing for the future.

"This... I haven't stumbled into some kind of pyramid scheme, have I? It looks way too good to be true!"

Byron inwardly scoffed, feeling rather helpless at Clevin's inflammatory rhetoric.

For someone like him who has experienced countless pitfalls in modern society, these things are too simple, even rudimentary.

Klevin seemed pleased with the crowd's reaction, cleared his throat, and said, "Now, announce the test results."

Ignoring everyone's emotions, Klevin held the crystal ball containing the records and began to read out everyone's names and aptitude levels one by one.

This bucket of cold water instantly extinguished the burning passion in everyone's hearts.

As one name after another was called out, people in the room would occasionally collapse to the ground, letting out suppressed sobs.

Just moments ago, they were dreaming of the wonderful path of a wizard, but now the cruel aptitude level has brought them back to reality, plunging them from the clouds into the mire.

This disparity is almost devastating.

"Byron, top-tier third-class talent."

Before he finished speaking, Byron felt the gazes of many people in the room, some greedy, some envious, and some resentful and hateful.

This feeling of being the center of attention made him feel uneasy and bitter.

But he could only force a smile and pretend to be happy.

But soon, Byron's smile became genuine as someone drew the attention away from him.

"What?! She actually has a fourth-grade lower-level aptitude?! Just how high is her talent?!"

"And him! He actually has a fourth-grade aptitude, which is more than double mine! It's unbelievable!"

"How did these people manage to do that? Where exactly are we lacking?!"

"......"

Hearing the crowd's discussion, Byron unconsciously turned his head to look.

At this moment, several teenagers were surrounded by the crowd and were being watched by everyone.

Byron's final gaze settled on an elderly woman with blond hair and fair skin, a young girl.

The girl seemed to sense Byron's gaze and looked at him.

The two looked at each other, both revealing genuine smiles, nodded slightly, and then looked away.

"Quiet."

Klevin's voice wasn't loud, but it carried throughout the room, drowning out everyone else's voices.

Once things quieted down, Klevin continued, "Talent is only one aspect of a wizard's abilities; it doesn't represent everything!"

"So don't be discouraged if you have poor aptitude. It doesn't mean you can't become a wizard, it just means your chances are a little smaller than others."

"And as I just said, this is the best of times because you have the help of academies or various organizations that provide you with resources."

"Alright, I've finished giving you advice. Now it's time to make arrangements. There are five decks on the ship, from bottom to top. Each level of qualification can only choose the deck corresponding to their own level. First-level qualification can only stay on the bottom deck. As for the rooms, you can choose any one you like."

"There are also some little surprises in each room. We hope you have a pleasant voyage."

"at last......"

At this point, Klevin smiled again.

"Welcome to the Dark Eclipse Wizard Academy!"

Before he finished speaking, both Clevin and Andrei disappeared from the deck at the same time.

Upon seeing this, the people on the deck gasped in surprise once again.

Meanwhile, the eyes of those less talented young men and women, who had been filled with despair, were rekindled, and their expressions became resolute.

They believed, as Klein said, that there were those

However, a strange look appeared on Byron's face as he stood in the crowd.

This formula, this plot... it seems so familiar the more I look at it.

However, it is now confirmed that this ship was not used for triangular trade.

Although from a certain perspective, they do have some similarities.

At the same time, a sound suddenly rang out from the room located at the highest point of the sailboat.

"Andley, how many people do you think will come looking for me later? With this number and the help from the superior seeds, will it be enough for us to advance to third-class wizard apprentices?"

"That's enough, even the limits can be envisioned."

"Klevin, it's still up to you. Complete the guidance task the academy requires you to finish, and you'll receive a surprise in return."

"Just tell me you haven't finished yet."

Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a glance and burst into laughter.

As the sounds from the room rang out, the boys and girls on the deck rushed to their respective floors to enter the rooms and search for the surprise that Klevin had mentioned at the end.
