Retired God King becomes Witch Idol Manager

"Oh, it's you guys?"

The young man in the passage was very surprised to see the two of them, but the female warrior drew her sword and stepped forward first.

"You ill-mannered brats, who allowed you to come in!"

The female warrior's eyes were wide with anger, her expression obscured by her helmet. She was clearly extremely irritable, and her green wind elemental spirit had condensed into a flame that covered her entire body.

Nolan was about to knock them unconscious and sneak in, but the young man raised his hand to stop the enraged servant, a playful smile on his face.

He was clever; he instantly understood the two's purpose in sneaking in and saw through Nolan's true identity beneath his cloak.

"It's fate that we met, ladies. I'd be happy to give you a ride, but whether you can get through smoothly is up to you."

Thanks.

Nolan glared at the female warrior with annoyance, then pulled the apologetic Zinora forward.

The four entered a quiet hall and registered their identities and surnames one after another. At the staff's prompting, Nolan also took off his hood and wiped his face clean.

The striking silver hair instantly caught the young man's attention. He casually wrote his complicated and lengthy name, and as he noticed the handwriting on the application form, his pupils contracted slightly. He exclaimed in surprise, "You're Nolan Joestar?"

10. Soul Color Trial

"You're Nolan Joestar?"

Nolan glanced at him and hummed in response, clearly unaware that she was more well-known within the Holy Alliance than her two sisters.

This nonchalant behavior only enraged the female warrior, who sneered, "The Holy Son is asking you a question! Does Duke Joestar's view of male heirs equate to rudeness and disrespect?!"

"You tell her to shut up, or I'll help her shut up forever."

Nolan looked the brown-haired youth up and down and indeed sensed an extremely pure soul. His temperament and speech did not seem to be those of a native of a secondary plane.

The young man smiled, pulled back the servant who had reached his limit, and was extremely gentle.

He removed his gloves, bowed politely, and introduced himself: "Excuse me, my name is Locke Ryan, and this lovely lady is my friend, Bella."

“You already know my name. She is my… well, and also my friend, Chinara.”

Nolan glanced at the little princess and followed her toward a large door on the right.

"Your Highness, she..."

Bella wanted to say something, but Locke Ryan shook his head nonchalantly and smiled as he looked at Nolan's tall figure.

"It's alright. I told you not to be so serious when you're out and about. Things are getting more and more interesting. I didn't expect to run into that... well, that special second young lady. She's quite cute, what a pity."

He felt like he'd heard the name Zinora somewhere before, but couldn't quite place it.

Nolan watched as one person after another entered the dimly lit hall, placing their hand on a huge, transparent sphere and asking questions with curiosity.

"what is that?"

Princess Chinora was also surprised.

"Huh? You didn't pass the soul test? How did you get the admission notice?"

Nolan shook her head; she had no idea where her sentimental old mother had come from.

Another apprentice entered the hall, and the crystal ball changed color when touched, with several colors mixed together, like spilled paint.

Seeing this, all the instructors shook their heads in regret. The apprentice turned pale, left the hall in dejection, and declared his failure.

A soul that is not pure enough is destined not to go far on this path.

"That is the Soul Color Trial."

Locke Ryan came up from behind and gave a brief explanation.

Although it saved the two unfortunate souls from the most troublesome identity verification process, the decisive test was behind the door.

What awaits them is Saint Lenza's most famous Soul Color Trial, which directly assesses the amplitude of elemental affinity and soul resonance.

The trial assessment is simple in theory, requiring only complete relaxation, but this step deters ninety percent of the apprentices from all planes, because it is a talent that cannot be changed by hard work.

And aptitude determines how far each student can go in future dimensional leaps.

Don't assume that Lockrean got in through a back door opened by the Septian Temple. With the Wings of Freedom backing him, Saint Lenza fears no power or wealth.

He was able to directly accept the trial because of his universally acknowledged extraordinary talent, nothing more.

The scholars and mentors of Saint Lenza cared only about the continuation of their traditions, and had an endless thirst for knowledge and power; they had no energy to waste on mediocrity.

Bella nodded to Locke Ryan and stepped into the hall first.

The hall is arranged in the shape of a pentagram, and five mentors from different campuses are serving as examiners for this year's new students.

The room was packed with Soul Apprentices, all craning their necks to watch for any potential dark horses among the new students. Among them were also many senior students who had joined in the fun.

Bella took off her helmet, revealing slightly curly flaxen hair and an unexpectedly cute, delicate face, though her expression was overly serious.

She placed her hand on it, and a faint sob came from the transparent crystal ball, which then showed a green glow.

The wind element is listening to the call; that is the color of Bella's soul.

"Elemental affinity A-, perception and resonance levels are also quite good, not bad at all, welcome to our Silver Campus."

At one corner of the pentagram, an elderly man with gray hair stood up first.

Another female instructor wearing glasses slammed her hand on the table and roared, "Wait a minute, why is it the Silver Campus again?"

"Child, the Black Iron Campus is your true home."

"Our Golden Campus's understanding of the element of wind is second to none!"

"......"

Five examiners vied to offer Bella a position at their respective campuses, and it was obvious that she was accepted.

For the elemental darlings, everything is that simple.

The others all showed expressions of envy, knowing that a freshman who could attract the attention of professors must have a bright future.

Bella glanced provocatively at Nolan below the stage, and unsurprisingly chose the Silver Campus, which had recently become the most powerful.

The next to ascend the hall was Lockrean. His handsome appearance immediately attracted the attention of all the girls. He then calmly bowed to the five mentors and closed his eyes to stroke the sphere.

The five examiners straightened their expressions and looked expectantly at the crystal ball illuminated by starlight, as if they all recognized the young man.

"Buzz-------"

In that instant, the crystal ball emitted an unprecedented buzzing sound, so loud it made people's eardrums ache.

All the students were stunned and speechless, because they saw seven colors intertwined inside the crystal ball to form a powerful rainbow light!

Seven-colored souls!?

"No doubt about it, the affinity of all seven elements is A+, and the level of resonance is unprecedented. He truly deserves to be called the Seven Luminaries Saint."

The old man at the Silver Campus stroked his beard, beaming with pride, a testament to Lockrean's remarkable achievements in every department.

These procedures could have been avoided if Locke Ryan hadn't disliked the abuse of privileges.

Locke Ryan didn't continue showing off. He turned and left the stage, while the other mentors sighed, somewhat unwilling.

Because of His Highness's personal decision, it is a well-known fact that he will be going to the Silver Campus for further studies, and there is no room for negotiation.

Just as Lockrean and Bella were about to pass through the hall and formally step into the gates of Saint Lenza, a dazzling light burst forth from behind, illuminating the entire hall.

Lockrean turned around in surprise and saw the beautiful elven girl standing in the center of the hall with a blank expression.

Chinara radiated a dazzling, sun-like brilliance, like a crystal ball, sacred and inviolable, leaving people mesmerized.

"S-rank!?"

All the mentors stood up, too excited to speak.

How long has it been since they last saw an S-rank student?

The students' faces were filled with shock. While the seven-colored souls of all A-level were amazing, the cultivation of a pure and singular soul to the extreme was equally astonishing.

Historically, only a handful of Saint Lensa alumni have achieved S-rank results in the Soul Color Trial, but they are all renowned heroic spirits in the interdimensional wars.

Sun Spirits are naturally highly skilled in the element of light, and Chinora is one of the best among them.

A beautiful and charming elf freshman, coupled with a rare S-level affinity for superior light elements, has directly overshadowed the Seven Luminaries Saint. It's easy to guess what the headlines of tomorrow's school magazine will be.

11. Monster, liar, executioner!

"Huh?"

Zinora tilted her head. Was this really anything special?

Her outstanding performance was within Nolan's expectations; how could an apostle of the Chaos Throne be an unknown figure?

Although, it's still a bit silly and needs to be trained.

The old man from the Silver Campus rubbed his hands together and asked with a smile, "Child, where would you like to study? Someone like you would be happy to be taken as a disciple even by the Silver Guardian!"

"Although the Silver Guardians are powerful, they are not good at controlling the element of light. Let's have them join the Gold Campus. We'll immediately invite the Sunfire Saint from the prime plane to personally guide them!"

"None of that matters. Our Bronze Campus has the best-looking students, with beauties and handsome guys everywhere. Come join us!"

The mentors' words revealed their intense desire, and they went to great lengths, even bringing up the names of their respective schools' top experts to seduce the adorable little elf.

Faced with such outstanding freshmen, they lost their authority and instead sought personal opinions, leaving many students both amused and exasperated.

The oblivious genius elf girl shrank back, startled by the enthusiastic mentors, blushed and hid behind Nolan, looking to her god (love) for help.

The mentors immediately understood and decided to give Nolan a test first.

The two girls came together, and perhaps this equally beautiful silver-haired girl would give them another surprise, although the two looked like they had been robbed, which was quite suspicious.

Locke Ryan also stopped and watched Nolan's retreating figure expectantly, his interest in the girl growing even stronger.

Unfortunately, like most people, Nolan's crystal ball has a mottled and unclear color.

First came dark red, then dull green and deep blue, which followed in turn.

This is not a good sign, but the number of clustered elements is not bad, neither excellent nor poor.
