Among the gathered crowd, there were magicians taking part in the assessment, but the largest proportion were city residents who came forward to join in the fun.
Thanks to this body that was tempered according to the standards of a warrior, Gut successfully widened the gap with most people and arrived at the assessment location designated by the [Continental Magic Association] at an early stage.
But even so, looking at the crowded scene in front of him, Gut couldn't help but sigh.
The sun has just risen. At what time did these people arrive?
Fortunately, most of the people surrounding the area were residents of Oissast. After they revealed their identities as magicians, the residents consciously made way for Gut.
After expressing his gratitude, Gut quickly walked through and finally arrived at the site of the [First Magician Assessment], an extremely magnificent hall in the city.
It was not yet time for the magician's assessment to begin. Several armored guards stood outside the hall, blocking the path leading inside.
In front of Gut, there were already more than twenty magicians waiting in line.
You know, this is by no means a small number.
In the future, when Philen passes the examination to become a first-level magician, there will be only more than 2,000 magicians in the entire continent.
Now, since the Demon King has just passed away and the war between humans and demons is still raging, the number of magicians is slightly greater than in later generations.
But Gut estimated that even if there were more, it would not exceed five thousand.
Moreover, the majority of magicians are apprentice magicians.
There are not many mature magicians who can truly stand on their own, no matter what era.
However, the more than 20 magicians in front of Gut were generally not bad. There were only four or five apprentice magicians, and they were all ranked in a very front position.
I guess these people came to queue up in the dark at night.
Gut smiled and shook his head. He could probably guess the motives of these people.
He simply wanted to come here first to express his sincere attitude to Celie, hoping to make up for the shortcomings of his own strength or talent.
In fact, it’s not just them. The more than 20 people ranked ahead of Gut probably have some such thoughts in their minds.
It was a shame that their little plan was likely to fail. After all, Celia's criteria for accepting disciples was primarily based on talent.
Those at the head of the team rushed here before daybreak and are still standing in standard "military posture". It would be better for them to sit down and meditate for a while to recover their body and mind.
Gut didn't care about the eyes of the people around him at all. He sat down, crossed his legs, and closed his eyes to rest.
Unlike their mentality of "hard work can make up for lack of talent", there was only one reason why Gut came early in the morning, and that was to end this long wait as soon as possible.
If I don't start socializing, my personality might really be affected.
However, Gut was a little curious.
This time, all the magicians with ideas from the entire northern countries and most of the central countries rushed over.
Even if these magicians only account for one or two percent of the total number, it is still a number that cannot be underestimated.
With so many magicians, will Celie interview them all?
After all, this was the first assessment, and the [Continental Magic Association] had not established many branches to screen out apprentice magicians, and Lao Deng did not have many reliable disciples around him to share the responsibilities of the examiner.
What will you do, Celia?
The answer to this question was revealed quickly.
About half an hour later, Celie announced that the [First Magician Examination] would officially begin.
As the guards waiting in front of the hall cleared the way leading to the hall, before the apprentice magician at the top of the list could rush forward excitedly, a hemispherical barrier quickly opened from the hall.
In the blink of an eye, it covered the entire hall.
Even the guards waiting in front of the hall were pushed a few steps back by this gentle but irresistible force and stood outside the barrier.
"What is this."
Several apprentice magicians at the front of the line swallowed and murmured unconsciously.
There were also experienced and knowledgeable magicians in the team who recognized the magic shrouding the outside of the hall.
"This is the [Boundary Magic] developed by Lord Volame, the ancestor of human magic."
"Many cities use this kind of weapon to defend against demon invasions."
"only."
A magician said with a bitter look on his face, "This kind of barrier that can isolate people is the first time I've seen it."
I've been busy lately, so the update is a bit late.
Chapter 9 I think you are very cute, can I hug you?
However, not all magicians were frightened by this scene.
There was no shortage of adventurous people in the team, or perhaps they had guessed the purpose of Lady Celia's action and stepped forward confidently.
Sure enough, as a magician participating in the assessment burst out with all his magic power, the previously unbreakable magic barrier showed signs of fusion around him.
The magician tried boldly, first with one palm, then with his whole body, and finally he stepped into the barrier.
"Sure enough, my guess was correct."
The magic that passed through the barrier gave the enchantress a boost of confidence, and he walked straight into the hall.
Outside the barrier, the magician candidates who saw this scene reacted immediately, and each of them burst out with all their magic power to try to cross the barrier.
However, not all magicians can pass through this barrier.
Take the apprentice magicians at the head of the line as an example. Some of them were not even able to get their hands through before being repelled by the barrier due to their unstable magic power; while some were even worse than this one. Even with the full outburst of their own magic power, they were unable to break through the barrier of the barrier.
"So that's how it is. Is this how Celie selects magicians?" Gut, who was observing from the side, murmured in a low voice.
After the magicians in front of him had tried, it was Gut's turn.
Unlike other magicians who immediately unleashed their full magical power, Gut restrained himself a little. After finding that the magic power released was enough to pass through the barrier, he stopped outputting.
Perhaps because his magic power had just reached the standard, Gut's speed of crossing the barrier was slightly slower than the previous ones, but it was not a problem.
After entering the barrier, there were only thirteen magicians left in line ahead of Gut.
The magicians at the end of the team smiled at Gut who had caught up through the barrier, and Gut responded politely to their kindness.
Perhaps because they had just passed the first round of screening, the entire team of candidates were in a good mood. They stood outside the hall in an orderly manner, silently waiting for the magician who would be interviewed by Celie herself to come out of the hall.
And the wait wasn't long.
In less than a minute, the magician candidate who first broke through the barrier walked out of the hall with a gloomy face.
"Isn't it going well, Wilt?"
Another magician in the team, who seemed to be an acquaintance of his, asked.
"Ah."
Despite his bad mood, Wilt replied, "That lord is more strict than I could imagine."
After saying that, Wilt walked through the barrier and left without looking back.
The team of candidates, who had been quite confident before, fell into silence due to Wilt's unfavorable start.
"Next person."
Inside the hall, Celie's emotionless words were heard. The magician standing after Wilt swallowed his saliva and walked in with some trepidation.
"In this state, he's probably going to die."
Gut in the team analyzed silently. After all, magic is a realm of imagination. How could a magician who is not confident that he can become Celia's disciple possibly pass Celia's assessment?
Sure enough, Celie interviewed this person faster than Wilt, who was ranked first.
Before he could even reach Celia in the hall, the result of the interview was announced.
"Unqualified, next one."
The second candidate seemed to want to make a few more remarks, but after being glanced at by Celie, he walked out of the hall tremblingly, and did not even respond to the questions of others in the team.
Seeing the two magicians in front of him being eliminated one after another, the magician ranked third in the team felt the pressure coming up like a python, and even sweat began to flow down his back.
In such a tense state of mind, he also began to doubt whether he could become the disciple of Lady Celia who lived in the myth.
Once doubts arise, the results are predictable.
"Unqualified, next one."
"Unqualified, next one."
"Unqualified, get out."
"It's okay. I have a strong mentality, but my magic power is too weak."
"Tentatively, let's assign him to a third-level magician, next."
"Unqualified. You can't even stand in front of my magic?"
"That's too bad, next one."
In this way, Celie ruthlessly eliminated one magician after another, and has not yet been able to identify a first-level magician or disciple who meets her requirements.
After all the magicians in front of him had finished their interviews, it was Gut's turn to enter the hall and face Celia.
It would be a lie to say that Gutt felt no pressure at the moment.
But unlike other candidates who were under pressure and doubted whether they could pass the test, Gut was more excited about meeting Celia, the magic master. Or, in other words, he was excited about finally being able to stop hiding from the crowd and embrace socializing and a new life.
Clenching his fists, Gut pushed open the wooden door leading to the hall and walked in.
In the hall, the extremely powerful magical fluctuations around Celiai made Gut feel a pressure as strong as a mountain in an instant.
Such pressure is not generated subjectively by Gut, but comes from the living being's instinctive sense of danger.
Even if the person standing next to Celie wasn't a magician who could sense magic, even if it was just a commoner who knew nothing about magic, they would still have this feeling.
However, Gut was not subjectively afraid of Celiai, but walked towards Celiai step by step steadily.
"Oh?"
"Finally, an interesting guy has appeared. He has strong beliefs and decent magical power for his age."
"But, what's going on with this vague sense of danger?"
Celie's gaze was no longer casual, but became a little more serious as she looked the boy in front of her up and down.
