My Magical Card Tavern

"But if we're talking about other people's construction process, it's like a carriage traveling normally on the roads of Silver Star City."

"The speed at which you cast that fireball is like a knight and his warhorse galloping across the battlefield!"

"No, is it really that exaggerated?"

This comparison, however, made Giannai somewhat doubtful of the truth.

The examiner responded with an "oh," realizing that Gianna didn't understand the comparison he was referring to.

"This is different."

"If it were a three-star mage, or even a four-star or five-star mage, they would cast a Great Fireball at this speed, or even faster."

"That's all normal."

However, to be precise, Ginnell is currently just a self-taught magician with two-star magic power who can cast spells.

This is equivalent to a savage emerging from a cave handling the same official business for Silver Star City; his speed in handling official business far surpasses that of a systematically trained employee.

Given this premise, Ginnell's ability to cast spells quickly becomes all the more valuable.

The examiners were simply surprised, but the onlookers were finding it hard to accept.

Why should I?!

They meditated diligently every day, studying and deducing magical structures to the point of exhaustion, and now a savage has emerged to show them what a true prodigy is.

The fact that they didn't leave the training ground with dark expressions is the best indication of their high level of education.

"Does this mean I've passed the test?" Ginell asked.

The examiner shook his head repeatedly.

"The assessment standard for a two-star mage is that you need to be proficient in at least three two-star level spells."

"Note that this is a two-star spell, not that you used your own magic to upgrade the effect of a one-star spell to the two-star level. You should understand the difference."

"Your Fireball spell is definitely up to par, but if that's all you have, I can only give you a one-star mage assessment score."

Ginnell expressed his understanding, and the onlookers had calmed down, but were even more eager to see what would happen next.

He only knows this one two-star spell, which is how he passed the one-star mage assessment.

Or should they continue to reveal their terrifyingly talented side, leaving them heartbroken and conflicted?

As a group that pursues knowledge, the novelty of any development arouses sufficient anticipation and excitement among the onlookers, including magicians and apprentices.

Simply put, it's fun, a rare source of enjoyment for them during the learning process.

The examiner said, "If you don't have a suitable staff, then there's no need to rush to participate in this assessment."

"After all, for us magicians, the staff is also a part of our life."

Genele's brow furrowed, and he suddenly realized that he had overlooked something.

"Yes, I have a staff."

After saying that, Gianna took out his card case from his bag.

The examiner next to him had a change of expression.

Book?

A staff of some kind of magic book?

No, it just looks like an antique-looking but valuable box. Could this be a staff?

Ginnell said, "Examiner, I will cast two more spells for the assessment, both of which are buff spells."

The examiner understood, stretched out his arms in a relaxed manner, and smiled.

"Don't worry about anything, this is just part of my job, come on."

Ginnell nodded, gently pressing his right hand on his card case, his magical power becoming active again as he constructed the magical structure.

hum-

A silver light surged into the examiner's body and gradually converged towards his eyes.

As the recipient of the enhancement, the examiner immediately felt that his eyesight had been greatly improved.

The examiner said, "This should be a type of magic like Eagle Eye, but judging from the performance, it's not enough to justify a two-star magic rating."

Genele shook his head calmly and said.

"No, this magic is not simply a boost to strength, but rather an enhancement to the recipient's stargazing ability."

"This isn't Eagle Eyes, it's Star Eyes. This magic comes from an old man I know very well."

If it were in another location, the effect of the star-gazing might not be immediately apparent, since it's uncertain whether the examiner has any knowledge of astrology and stargazing.

But this is Silver Star City of the Northern Union, a bustling city famous for its astrology. Even if the examiner isn't an expert in this type of magic, he's at least familiar with it.

After hearing Ginell's explanation, the examiner promptly pulled out a notebook and flipped through it on the spot, nodding more frequently as he flipped through it.

"The effect of the star-shaped eyes is confirmed; even the words recorded in the notebook can have a corresponding amplification effect."

Ginnell hissed.

The paper files and notes were related to astrology. When these two elements were combined, the only subjects he could think of were mathematics and astrophysics.

What they have in common is that they are both mentally taxing; geniuses and ordinary people are like two completely different species.

It seems that in the study of stars in Silver Star City, some people are likely capable of slapping a bunch of mathematical models and calculation formulas in the face of their peers, and then stubbornly insisting that this is also part of magic and astrology.

It feels like it's playing with magic under the guise of magic, but upon closer inspection, it can indeed be considered a part of magic.

The examiner asked curiously, "I've never seen magic that amplifies astrological content before. Did that old man you know teach you this?"

Ginnell hesitated for a moment, then nodded, but the examiner assumed that the important person had specifically instructed Ginnell not to speak carelessly.

However, the source of this magic may be much simpler than the examiner thought.

According to the old man from Silver Star, the Star Eye magic is like painting a picture, and the content of the picture is Silver Star's eyes.

Magic is the ink and brush, and the structure of magic is the picture.

The more lifelike the drawing, the stronger the star effect.

The examiner was extremely satisfied. Although he certainly couldn't learn the magic, the process of being amplified gave him considerable inspiration and also satisfied his curiosity.

"Well then, Genelec, it's time for you to cast your third spell."

"If you can successfully cast your third two-star spell, you will become a respected mage."

"The monetary subsidy you're expecting will be given on the spot."

Genelle stroked his card case, and immediately perked up after hearing the examiner's last words.

Money aside, I'm mainly interested in the identity of a magician.

"Then, the second buff spell."

With a wave of his hand, a pair of wings formed from condensed magic floated lightly onto the examiner's shoes.

The examiner slightly lifted his foot.

"A two-star magic spell, Natural Vibration, can significantly enhance the mobility of two-star and lower-level professionals. This boost is real."

Why did Ginnar display an offensive spell, and a relatively common one at that?

The examiner's mood suddenly became complicated as he thought of the hammer at Gianna's waist.

The other person's primary profession is probably a follower of the Holy Light; they're here at their Mage Guild for professional certification...

They're just after the money.
