You call this magic?

"huh?"

……

Continental Magic Association.

"There are so many people." Yubel said as she squeezed towards Ethan, but she was blocked halfway by Philen who appeared out of nowhere.

“There are indeed a lot of people, so you have to be more careful not to fall.”

Yu Beier was not discouraged and continued in another direction. After all, how could you, a little brat, compete with me in physical strength?

"It's okay, Ethan is here, you won't fall."

"Master Ethan isn't taking the exam, so it's best if you get used to life without him."

The two of them circled around Ethan.

"Why the word 'life'?"

"Sorry, that was a slip of the tongue. It should have been 'world'."

"It seems you want to duel here again, gloomy little devil."

"Now you can call me a brat."

Ignoring the two girls who were constantly bickering with each other, Ethan went straight to the staff.

Queuing up for registration? No need.

When he left the Continental Magic Association yesterday, his identity was already not simple.

"Hello, Mr. Ethan." The staff member obviously knew Ethan and put down the work in his hands.

"I'm here to help my sister register for the fifth-level magician exam."

"..." The staff member carefully glanced at the long queue at the registration window and lowered his voice quietly, "Name."

five minutes later.

"Phiren, Yubel."

Ethan returned to the two children and said, "You two, follow me."

Philen and Yubel, who were still arguing, followed Ethan in a daze, passed through the gate that only staff could enter, and directly entered the interior of the Continental Magic Association.

There were also passersby who were curious about their behavior, but this was the headquarters of the association. Not to mention a large number of first-level magicians, even the president himself was in charge here. Any situation was tacitly approved internally. Even the first-level magicians had no objection, so how could a passerby like him have any objection?

"Where are we going now?"

Yubel looked curiously at the magicians in the association's uniforms passing by. Compared to Philen, who tightly grasped Ethan's hand and refused to let go, she seemed much more at ease. "When did Ethan become a member of the association?"

"Well, how should I put it... Yesterday, Celia and I made a deal, so I kind of have some say in the association," Ethan said. "Don't get me wrong, I didn't ask for it. Celia forced it on me—ah, we're here."

Philen and Yubel looked up at the huge door in front of them. The doorplate clearly read "Examination Venue".

Ethan cast a small magic spell on the door. Just as Fulilian said, the small magic spell with personal mark can act as a key.

The door opened and there was no one inside, but the area was large enough to squeeze in all the people who had registered outside and still have a lot of space left.

"This is the test site." Ethan led the two to the center of the site, "Yubel, Feilun, your test will be conducted here."

?

Doesn’t the actual exam start three days after the registration deadline?

Philen and Yubel looked at each other and saw the disbelief in each other's eyes.

As if he could see what they were thinking, Ethan smiled and said, "Of course, I could let you take the exam through the normal process, but I had a little selfish motive, so I mentioned it directly to the staff."

He pointed at himself with his thumb and said, "From now on, I'll be your examiner. It's not a Level 1 magician exam, it's only Level 5. Celie wouldn't be so lenient as to even give me that."

The expressions of the two children changed, but the shock only lasted for a short time, and the next emotion that appeared was excitement.

Not to mention Yubel, who has an active personality, even Philen wanted to show off in front of Ethan. It was a pity that Ethan couldn't see their competition yesterday. Today, both of them are in their prime.

However, Feilun was still a little curious: "Master Ethan, what is your status in the association?"

"Well, although I can't be a first-level magician because I didn't participate in the assessment, Celie has given me the title of 'Advisor'. My authority is somewhere between that of a first-level magician and a second-level magician, but I can refuse any arrangements made by a first-level magician and answer only to Celie."

Regardless of what the two children thought, Ethan immediately said, "Okay, this is not important. Anyway, I will report your performance today to the association truthfully, so don't think that I will let you down just because I'm the examiner."

"Of course, I also hope that Master Ethan won't let me off the hook." Philen looked him in the eyes seriously. "Letting an insignificant magician take the throne is irresponsible to this world."

No one can accept winning the championship 0-1, except idiots.

"Hey, I also want Ethan to see how I've grown." Yubel danced with her wand and slammed it hard on the ground. "Don't look down on us just because we're young, okay?"

"of course."

Next to Ethan, a substitute emitting a silver glow appeared out of thin air, and on its chest were two badges with the words "Qualified" written on them.

"Next, you will try to snatch the badge from it. This is the content of this assessment."

Volume 3: The Death of Fulilian (Part 2): Chapter 17: I Am Your Chief Examiner

"This is my Stand. It can do everything I can do. Of course, I can only use the power of a fifth-level magician. Anyway, come on."

After saying that, Ethan went straight to the sidelines, found a chair, sat down and closed his eyes to rest, looking as relaxed as he could be.

"Really? Are we supposed to steal something from the golem… no, the substitute that Ethan created?"

After looking at Ethan who looked calm and composed, Yubel and Philen looked at each other.

"Then let's see who gets it first, little Philen."

"Just to my liking."

The two of them moved almost at the same time. Yubel's movements were faster than Philen's. As she ran, dense magic bullets formed around her. It seemed that she was planning to attract the attention of this thing by suppressing it with firepower.

The tactics adopted by Feilun were different. From the beginning, she had no intention of getting close to the obviously dangerous stand. Long-range attacks were what she was best at.

Yubel...she would make good use of it.

Although Ethan seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, he was actually paying attention to the situation on the field.

He used this method to make the two girls fight him seriously instead of showing mercy, just like the information he got from Fulilian last night.

Philen has a high talent for magic control, while Yubel is even smarter. In order to allow the two to make better use of their strengths, Fulilian only allows Philen to use general attack magic to fight. The intensity, magic power and even the launch speed must be accurate to the millimeter. Yubel is forbidden to use the [Magic of Cutting Off Everything] that she has been studying so far.

Ever since Ethan made her realize that her magic could also cut through defensive magic, the danger of this magic had reached an incredible level. It would kill instantly, and unless high-intensity defensive magic was used from the beginning, otherwise she would really die.

Because the killing power is so strong, even if Fulilian does not forbid it, she will not use this magic most of the time.

This was also thanks to the effective family education Ethan gave her when she was young. Otherwise, if she was allowed to grow up wildly, she probably would not have any guilt for killing people now.

Ethan still didn't want to see the child he had watched grow up become like that.

"So that's how it is. Is this the problem that Ai Ran said should be solved from a young age?" As the battle lasted longer, Ethan saw the tacit understanding between the two men.

After all, they have lived together for a while, and the tacit understanding they should have does exist. Just like when Yubel raises her hand, Philen roughly knows what she wants to do, and vice versa.

After Ethan fine-tuned his stand to the level of a fifth-level magician, his movement speed, reaction time, attack speed, and magic power all declined significantly.

The original intention was just to test the strength of the two, but unexpectedly, either Yubel or Philen was strong enough to defeat a level five magician.

Under Fulilian's guidance, the two of them were no longer at the level of fifth-level magicians, and because of frequent sparring, they also had considerable experience in human combat.

Logically speaking, a fifth-level magician substitute cannot last long, but they have been fighting until now, and no one has obtained a qualified badge.

All this is because, instead of cooperating, they used this long-established tacit understanding to interfere with each other.

The general meaning is "If I don't have it, you can't have it either."

Whenever Yubel was about to touch the badge, a stray bullet would accurately hit the stand's body, causing it to stagger suddenly, causing Yubel's action to fail. After the stand reacted, it would immediately distance itself. When Philen was about to hit the badge and knock it off the stand's body, Yubel would also make the same interference, and this interference would even be much more covert than Philen's.

Ethan shook his head. This went against his original intention.

Although other candidates may encounter examiners who encourage them to fight with each other, Ethan is different. An exam is just an exam. After cooperating for a long time, fighting during the exam is not a big problem. But Philen and Yubel are different. These two have been fighting since the day they met. Ethan wants them to understand the importance of cooperation.

There was no other way. Ethan's eyes emitted a faint silver light. At the same time, a strong shock wave suddenly erupted from the substitute's body.

Pray for rejection.

After sending Yubel flying, Ethan began to adjust the ability value of his stand.

The restrictions are lifted, allowing the use of system [Harry Potter] magic.

It raised its hand.

[There are many obstacles].

At this moment, Yubel's movements suddenly slowed down, as if the gravity suddenly increased, and the same was true for Philen next to her.

Before they understood what was happening to them, the next magic had already been cast.

【Expelliarmus】.

The wands in the hands of the two were knocked away, and because of their slow movements, they were unable to pick up the wands from the ground immediately.

【Flying Curse】.

The two wands flew up almost at the same time and landed directly in the hands of the substitute.

【Everything is petrified】.

At this time, the two were horrified to find that their bodies were suddenly completely unable to move. Their consciousness remained and they could still perceive the outside world, but their bodies were unable to move as if they were petrified.

"Normally at this stage, I would have declared this assessment a failure," Ethan's voice came. He sat completely still in his chair, not even glancing towards the field. "But after all, I forcibly added variables, which is considered cheating, so I'll let you off the hook and give you one more chance."

"If you continue to indulge in internal fighting and neglect what you really need to do, you will never pass the exam."

Yu Beier's eyes were bitter. If she could move, she would have apologized immediately.

She could feel from his tone that Ethan seemed really angry.

A line of text appeared above Philen's head, eventually forming the three words "Sorry".

That was the magic that Fulilian used to write in the air.

Yu Beier's pupils trembled. She had never seen this magic before!

"As punishment, I will improve the strength of my stand. If you can't win even if you work together, you can take the test again next year."

Ethan waved his hand.

[The mantra stops immediately].

The [Total Petrification] on the two was lifted, and Yubel even fell directly to the ground. Philen gasped for breath, and the moment the spell was lifted, his back was soaked with cold sweat.

Ethan, is there such a terrifying control magic?

By the time they realized it, their bodies had been restrained to the point where they were completely unable to move.

In these three years, Ethan has not been playing around. The magic list has expanded a lot, whether it is from this world or other worlds.

"Then the battle continues."

Volume 3: The Burial of Fulilian (Part 2): Chapter 18: If you want to learn, I'll teach you.

It turned out that Ethan was right.

Once the two children start to cooperate seriously, the result will inevitably be defeat unless Ethan gives the stand more powers.

At the beginning, their cooperation was still bumpy, but as the battle time prolonged, with both sides' understanding of each other, they actually achieved perfect combat coordination accurate to the second. There was even a time in the middle when, if Philen's attack was released a second faster or a second slower, Yubel would have been directly hit by the normal attack magic.

However, Philen was able to accurately capture that opportunity of less than a second and do the right thing at the right time.

Yubel even gave up attacking. All her magic was reduced in power and replaced with fancy barrages, just like the illusion that Ethan had performed when she was still young.

In the end, Yubel took off both badges on the substitute's body.

"That's it."

Ethan clapped his hands and looked at the venue which was more than half destroyed, feeling helpless.

Damn, I forgot to cast the barrier magic.

No matter it was the stand or the two little magicians, the aftermath of an all-out battle would inevitably cause damage to the venue. Even if the building itself had a certain degree of magic resistance, as long as the barrier magic was not used, the party that caused the damage would have to bear certain repair costs.

"Master Ethan, I still have some pocket money."

"Me too, Ethan. I've won a lot of scholarships in school over the years!"

"Two little idiots." Ethan patted the heads of the two little guys who came up to him and said with a mysterious smile, "With me here, why do you need to pay? How about this, I'm going to teach you a magic trick... Secretly, even my master doesn't know this magic yet."
