The villain daughter did all kinds of things

Snapped!

With a snap of her fingers, all the girls participating in the assessment were frozen in place by a gentle magic, only able to watch as their exam papers flew up and automatically flew to the designated place to hand in their papers.

This test paper has 20 questions, all of which are multiple choice. Each question has four options, and the corresponding scores are 5 points, 4 points, 3 points, and 2 points from highest to lowest. You can get points by choosing any one option.

In other words, as long as you can finish the test, even if you choose all the options randomly, you can get a minimum of 40 points and a maximum of 100 points.

Considering that this was the first time the girls in this world had ever taken such an exam, Emery didn't set the requirements too high.

Whether you think for yourself or just guess by chance, a total score of 60 is considered passing.

With Suzuran's help, the girls' scores came out quickly, and the pass rate was very high.

Of the 307 girls, 261 scored above 60 points and passed the test. Among them was even a completely illiterate girl from a primitive tribe who scored 64 points, which was obviously a fluke but she was lucky.

Another member of the wild tribe who passed the test was Awani. Although she had only recently learned to read, she was quite intelligent. After thinking hard, she scored 76 points, which was above average among all the girls.

Because it was the first time they had seen this kind of exam, the vast majority of the girls scored below 80 points.

Just like Amelie had that innate divine body for taking exams in her previous life, a true genius can still achieve good results even if it's their first time taking this kind of exam.

The girl with the best grades among all the girls scored 98 points. She only chose the 3-point option for one question, and for the rest of the questions, she accurately chose the 5-point option, which was the highest score.

Such outstanding results naturally caught the attention of Emerald.

The girl's name is Chiara. She doesn't come from any powerful or wealthy family; she's just an ordinary girl from the Allen Federation, whose parents are ordinary company employees.

Chiara was able to come here to participate in the assessment thanks to her partner, who was her best friend from school named Marie Lohid, who was also Flora's cousin.

Kiara and Marie were both second-year students at the Lohid Magic Academy. The female archmage of the Lohid family who sealed the giant spider with Emeryt was Marie's aunt. After returning, she talked to Marie about it, and after thinking about it, Marie agreed to try coming to Emeryt's place, but she had to bring her best friend Kiara along.

Considering that having a partner would be a significant advantage for Emerald in the assessment, the Lohid family recommended Chiara to Emerald as well.

Unexpectedly, Marie's performance is only average, while Kiara performed exceptionally well in this third round of assessment, achieving a near-perfect score.

Now it's Marie's turn to benefit from Kiara's success. If Kiara's grades continue to be excellent, even if Marie's grades are slightly worse, she will still be able to stay. After all, she and Kiara are lifelong partners.

Originally, Chiara and Marie were just close friends, not yet a couple.

However, during the previous round of the illusionary realm assessment, Marie couldn't help but confess to Chiara in the second half of her first year in the illusionary realm... Although they were still innocent girls in the real world, they had already gone through a lot of fun in the illusionary realm.

The second and third rounds of assessments revealed two very talented individuals, which greatly pleased Emery.

Now that the three rounds of assessments are over, the girl with the worst performance has no hope of staying to become Emery's apprentice and has been eliminated early.

Fortunately, there were only 6 people, and they were all poor singles without partners. In the second round of assessment, they unfortunately participated in a multi-person team and failed directly. In the third round of assessment, they also failed to get 60 points in the written test and had to go home early.

Of course, Emerald didn't treat them badly either. She arranged for Marcy to give them a three-day trip to Locke City with all their food and lodging included, and even gave each of them a delicate and useful magical artifact. This made smiles appear on their faces, which were originally on the verge of tears.

If any more girls are eliminated afterward, they will receive the same treatment.

The assessment continues.

The fourth test was finally the spellcasting talent test that many young girls had been looking forward to.

However, this test is different from the spellcasting talent test methods used in the past.

The method originally intended for young boys and girls to test their spellcasting talent is actually quite similar to what's described in those fantasy novels on Earth.

An older method involves taking a specially made crystal ball, having the test subject hold it tightly with both hands and infuse it with magic, and judging talent based on the brightness and color of the magical light.

However, ancient testing tools like crystal balls have long been obsolete. The Tianyun Empire and Shangying Kingdom both have magical artifacts specifically for testing the spiritual talent of young people, and the Allen Federation also has magical devices for testing the magical talent of young people. Basically, they just have people stand on them and scan them a few times, and then, like the status bar of a game character, all the character's talents are displayed numerically.

However, Emery tested the girls' magical talents without using any magical artifacts or devices.

The girls who are sent here have all been carefully selected, and their spellcasting talents have definitely been tested many times before, so there's no need to test them again.

What Emerald's test was actually testing these girls' adaptability to the magic she created to suppress evil spirits was their ability to adapt.

The specific testing method involved giving each participating girl a magic ball, followed by a booklet for each of them.

Each page of the booklet features a different graphic. The beginning ones are simpler, consisting of regular shapes like ovals and cubes, but they become increasingly difficult as you go on. After the tenth page, the graphics are detailed anime girl figurines.

The girls were assessed by relying entirely on their instincts to try and shape the magic ball in their hands into the shapes in the booklet. Once they had successfully shaped the shapes, they would turn to the next page and continue. The best score was awarded to whoever could shape the most shapes within a given time.

After all, sealing magic is a very delicate task. Unlike the powerful, explosive force of attack magic, it requires meticulous shaping and refining of magical energy.

The nanoscale sealing technology that Emery has now is equivalent to a humanoid lithography machine if she were to return to her previous life on Earth, and it would be the most advanced one at that, capable of hand-crafting nanoscale chips.

Chapter 389 No High Efficiency Allowed

Amelie's sealing magic has reached the nanometer level, which is an unexpected bonus because she worked tirelessly to fight the squid people.

To directly seal a level 7 magic tide, the sealing spells required cannot be much weaker than those of Emerald. However, if it is just to inspect and maintain the seals that Emerald has already created, then such sophisticated magic manipulation techniques are not needed.

According to Amelie's own analysis and calculations, she believed that if a person's magical manipulation precision reached the millimeter level, they would be able to learn her spell-suppressing magic.

Of course, Emerald couldn't expect the girls to have this millimeter-level precision in manipulating magic right away. They could become her disciples and practice slowly... But their talent couldn't be too bad. This fourth test was mainly to assess the girls' talent in manipulating magic with precision.

Everyone should be able to do those basic geometric shapes at the beginning. Girls who can't even do that probably wouldn't be sent to Emerald.

Therefore, the passing score for this assessment is the collection of beautiful girl figurines on page 10 of the booklet.

It's not required that the girls can actually mold the magic balls to look exactly like the bishoujo figurines, but at least you should be able to tell that they are humanoid and that the clothes are roughly the same style.

If you can achieve this level, you've passed the assessment.

However, Emery did not mention this requirement beforehand. Instead, she asked the girls to rub the dough as closely as possible to the pictures in the booklet.

After the assessment began, the girls started making magic balls in their hands according to the booklet.

These magical balls are specially made by Emerald. As long as you are not a magic rejecter, even if you have not formally undergone magic training, you can shape the magical balls like clay. It's a competition to see who is more skillful and who is better at fine manipulation.

As Emery had predicted, most of the girls found the geometric figures on the first few pages of the booklet, ranging from simple to complex, easy to complete, failing only two or three times at most.

Only a very small number of girls are genuinely clumsy and struggle to even roll a regular polyhedron, so they probably won't pass this test.

Just as there are those who are clumsy with their hands, there are also those who are skillful.

Just like Kiara, who was far ahead in the previous round of assessments, another girl stood out in this assessment, with her skillful hands attracting attention.

She was a girl with long, straight black hair wearing a moon-white kimono, clearly from the Kingdom of Sakura.

Her fingers looked thinner and longer than the other girls', and also softer and more flexible. Almost every finger could make exquisite movements comparable to tentacles... The girl who can be her partner will definitely not be lonely in the future.

This girl not only completed the first few pages of geometric figures in one go, but she also sculpted beautiful girl figurines with remarkable realism.

The beautiful girl figurines she created with her magic were not only clearly distinguishable in terms of hairstyle and facial features, but even the princess dress with its intricate lace embellishments and pleats was perfectly displayed. Her control over magic was undoubtedly precise to the millimeter level.

Not only is the magic figure she created extremely accurate, but the girl from the Kingdom of Sakura also completed it very quickly.

With only two-thirds of the allotted time for the assessment passed, she had already completed all 15 questions in the booklet. Her completion rate for the geometry questions on the first few pages was 100%, and her completion rate for the anime figurines on the later pages was over 99%. Her performance was outstanding, far surpassing everyone else.

Not only that, after completing all the exam questions, the girl had nothing to do, so she used the magic ball in her hand to shape it into the likeness of Emerald, and the accuracy of the resemblance was also very high.

Why are you rubbing me? Why don't you rub out one of your partners instead?

Such outstanding performance naturally caught the attention of Emerald long ago. When she saw the girl actually rubbing herself with a ball of magic, Emerald asked out of curiosity.

"Because I don't have a partner, I'm still single."

The girls of the Upper Sakura Kingdom are so bold; not only did she flirt with Emerald directly, but she also presented her with an Emerald figurine held in both hands.

"If I do well in school, can I be your partner, Miss? Please give me a chance to treat you with the utmost care."

"Haha... You're a young girl, but you're quite the charmer. You're not even my student yet, but you already have some of my flirting skills."

Emerald smiled, taking the magical figurine from the girl's hand with one hand and ruffling the girl's head with the other:

"I'm sorry, I can't be your partner... because I don't have time to guard the seal with you. You'll be all alone and lonely if you're my partner... so you should choose someone you like from your classmates to be your partner."

"Waaah..."

The girl seemed to want to say that she didn't care, but she was also afraid that Emery would really leave her alone to guard the seal, so in the end she just puffed up her cheeks and didn't say anything more.

While rubbing the girl's head, Emerald also looked through the girl's information through Suzuran.

The girl's name was Shirakawa In, and she came from a somewhat declining minor noble family in the Kingdom of Shangying.

She had already been arranged to marry a man by her family, who wanted to expand their network through marriage to save their increasingly troubled family, but she didn't like men at all.

Fortunately, Queen Tengu Yuki's order was issued in time, and Shirakawa In proved herself, which earned her the opportunity to come to the Federation to study under Amelie... So she had to pass the test, otherwise she would have to return to Shangying Kingdom and be forced to marry the fiancé she hated.

Seeing the troubles of being forced into an arranged marriage and having a fiancé, Emery couldn't help but think of her own past troubles, and couldn't help but feel a little more sympathy for Shirakawa In.

She planned to pay more attention to Bai Chuanyin. If Bai Chuanyin really couldn't pass the assessment, she would try to arrange another job for Bai Chuanyin to stay, so as to avoid the tragedy of her being forced into an arranged marriage.

Since the Shirakawa family arranged the marriage between Shirakawa In and Shirakawa In to expand their network, as long as Shirakawa In is given a better connection, her original fiancé will naturally be abandoned.

After the fourth assessment was completed as scheduled, the results were as Emery had expected. Shirakawa In was far ahead of everyone else. Apart from her, no other girl was able to sculpt all the pictures in the booklet within the allotted time.

Meanwhile, 7 more girls had already failed 3 out of 10 tests, so even if they passed all the remaining tests, they couldn't stay and were eliminated early. After receiving a small gift from Emery, they joined a luxurious three-day tour of Locke City arranged by Marcy.

The assessment continues.

For the fifth test, Emerald led the girls into the magic tower, which was yet another illusion that had been prepared beforehand.

The illusion also simulates the girls' future work situation, but this time the focus of the assessment is not whether the girls can endure loneliness, but their ability to handle unexpected events and emergencies.

Before the assessment began, Emery didn't hide anything and told the girls the main content and scoring criteria in advance:

"As you can all imagine, the place where you will be guarding the seal will be far from towns and people, but it's impossible that you won't encounter a single outsider."

"After all, even in the depths of the wilderness, gatherers and adventurers will occasionally appear, as well as caravans that want to take shortcuts. Of course, there will also be bad people who have designs on the seal, or bad people who have designs on you yourselves."

"First of all, the fact that you two were sent to me as students means you're all pretty good-looking, and there are only two of you living in the wilderness... It's normal for you to be targeted by some wicked fool. Although such fools will never have a good ending, they are the most abundant type of fool in the world."

"Secondly, a level 7 demonic tide is a very dangerous existence. There are only a handful of people in the world who are capable of dealing with a level 7 demonic tide, and any seal is much easier to break from the outside... As a result, there will inevitably be some people with ulterior motives who will actively release a level 7 demonic tide to create chaos and cause trouble. These are the real dangers that you are most likely to encounter in your future work."

"So the content of this assessment is that you will encounter all sorts of strangers who have entered the sealed area in the illusion."

"Some of them will claim to be lost adventurers, some will claim to be injured gatherers, and some will claim to be passing merchants asking for a drink of water... Among these people are ordinary passersby who genuinely need help, as well as bad people in disguise with ulterior motives."

"What you need to do is use your observation skills and wisdom to discern the true identities of these people and to handle and respond appropriately."

"The illusion will record all your actions in detail, and I will personally judge whether you are qualified based on your performance in the illusion."

"Alright... Does anyone have any questions? If not, let's begin the assessment."

"Young Miss! Young Miss! I have a problem!"

As it turned out, a girl actually raised her hand. She had a sword tucked under her other armpit and looked very excited. Her partner couldn't stop her and looked embarrassed.

"Oh?"

Emery glanced curiously at the girl with the sword:

What's your problem?

"Young Miss, our main task when working for you from now on should be to guard the seal to prevent it from being eroded from the inside by the demonic tide, and to prevent it from being destroyed from the outside, right?"

The girl with the sword first asked Emery a question, and after Emery nodded, she became even more excited and licked her lips:

"If that's the case, then as long as we kill all the outsiders who have broken into the sealed area, wouldn't that guarantee that the seal won't be broken from the outside? Even if they are innocent, it doesn't matter. Sacrificing a few people to ensure the safety of the majority is a problem I've solved since I was a child... So, hehe, I just want to ask Miss, if I kill all the outsiders in the illusion, will I be able to pass the level?"

"That definitely won't work!"

Emery immediately put on a stern face:

“You will all be my students in the future. If you indiscriminately kill innocent people, my reputation will be affected... So your method of killing everyone won't work! If you dare to do that, you will definitely fail this test!”

"Gulp... How could this happen?"

The girl with the sword immediately sank into a gloomy mood.

"Clearly, killing is the most efficient way to solve problems..."

She mumbled a whole bunch of things under her breath again, but Emery didn't listen to her anymore. Instead, she looked at everyone again:

Does anyone have any further questions?

This time, no one raised their hand. However, many people looked at the girl with the sword in her hand thoughtfully, as if they originally had similar thoughts to her.

...These young girls nowadays all look so delicate and sweet, but who would have thought they're all hidden powerhouses? They're really something else.

Amelie, seeing through the girls' thoughts, sighed inwardly, then waved her hand to activate the illusion, pulling all the girls into the illusion to begin the test.

These girls are of varying ages and have completely different abilities.

Some are genuinely delicate young girls, while others have clearly practiced some moves. For example, the girl with the sword earlier, the murderous aura she exuded when she said she was going to kill someone was real. She must have practiced martial arts and may have actually killed someone.

However, in this assessment, physical strength is not the focus; adaptability and observation and judgment are the main assessment objectives.

Because once the girls become Amelie's disciples, they will never lack fighting power.

Even girls who are completely bad at fighting can be given a set of fully automatic combat equipment by Emerald, just like how Beth was packaged as holy mercury.
