Chapter 794: Episode 2 Chapter 15 Magic Test_4
At the back of the Magic Guild.
Ah Dai chants, "Fire elements scattered between heaven and earth, lend me your burning power! In my name, with your aid, appear, blazing flames!" With a sharp utterance, two deep blue flames instantly appear in Ah Dai’s palms.
Kigg jumps in surprise. Able to release blue flames meant that the casting mage had reached an intermediate level or higher. Not daring to be negligent, he quickly recites an incantation and casts a Water’s Guard before him. As the spell is chanted, a light blue ripple appears in front of him, blocking the heat emitted from Ah Dai’s Flame Spell.
However, Ah Dai’s magic doesn’t stop there. His hands slowly converge, and he chants loudly, "Rise, Fire Ball." Under the influence of astonishing spiritual power, blue flames continuously solidify into small fireballs around three centimeters in diameter, floating in the air. A flash of light gleams in Ah Dai’s eyes, and a large number of blue fireballs rush towards Kigg like a carpet bombing.
Kigg praises, "Very well, the Meteor Fire is quite powerful. Water’s Guard, in your name, borrow the water elements of heaven and earth, condense, form, Ice Barrier!" Under the spell, a thick layer of white ice solidifies in front of Kigg in an instant.
"Thud, thud, thud..." Blue fireballs continuously batter the ice barrier before Ah Dai, each one leaving deep footprints in the ice.
Kigg had assumed that Ah Dai’s Meteor Fire would only display a wave of attack power. What he didn’t expect was that the fireballs were unending, ceaselessly bombarding. In a moment, cracks appear on the ice barrier, starting to collapse. With no choice, Kigg steps back two steps, conjuring another Ice Barrier.
Ah Dai doesn’t stop his Meteor Fire out of reluctance but desperation. His magic power is rapidly deducted at this high-intensity use. The ice barrier before him blocks all his attacks, and he can only control his Meteor Fire to keep attacking. To him, he must break Kigg’s defense to pass the test.
Ah Dai successfully breaks through two ice barriers. When Kigg casts a third Ice Barrier, Ah Dai’s magic power finally wears out. His face turns pale, and the blue flames in his hand gradually fade. His body softens, and an intense feeling of fatigue makes him pause involuntarily, gasping for breath. Ah Dai feels greatly frustrated. Why can’t I even pass the Junior Magician test?
Kigg’s surprise exceeds Ah Dai’s. Although Ah Dai’s magic power is exhausted, holding back wasn’t easy for him either. Of course, this has something to do with his defensive stance.
The Ice Barrier fades, and Kigg walks over to Ah Dai, praises, "Young man, you’re really good. For such a young age, you carry so much magic power. The future is limitless! Given your magic power, why didn’t you use a stronger magic spell? The Meteor Fire may strengthen with magic power, but it’s merely an intermediate spell after all. It can never truly exert immense power."
Ah Dai lowers his head and mumbles, "My... My best spell is Meteor Fire. I... I must be going now." Then, he turns and leaves.
Kigg quickly calls him back, surprised, "You have yet to receive your Magic Badge and monthly salary. Why the rush?"
Ah Dai is startled and taps his nose, "Can we receive the Magic Badge even if we don’t pass the test?"
Upon understanding, Kigg realizes the boy before him, who is gifted, believed he’d failed the test. He smiles gently and says, "Child, you have performed well. With your magic level, you already meet the Intermediate Magician level. If you knew a bigger spell, you might even reach the realm of an Advanced Magician. When you return, ask your teacher for guidance. I hope next time you come to test, you can pass the Advanced Magician audit. At your age, besides those with divine occupations, few can achieve such a level."
Ah Dai brightens, "You mean, I passed the Junior Magician assessment?"
Kigg answers, "No, it’s the Intermediate Magician assessment. Wait here; I’ll get the register, and after your registration, you will officially become an Intermediate Magician."
"Thank you, thank you, Uncle Kigg."
Kigg furrowed his brows and said, "Don’t call me uncle from now on, call me Grand Magician Kigg."
Ah Dai, having passed the magic test, was overjoyed. He had finally fulfilled one of Owen’s wishes. Excitedly, he said, "Yes, yes, thank you, Grand Magician Kigg."
With a slight wave, Kigg walked to the wall at the back, muttered a few short spells, a blue halo flashed past, and a small door appeared. To Ah Dai’s amazement, Kigg opened the door and went in.
Ah Dai thought enviously, the magic level of Grand Magician Kigg is truly profound! He wondered if his teacher Goris had this kind of strength. When he returned to his teacher, he would definitely study magic diligently. In Ah Dai’s heart, he was far more interested in dazzling magic than in boring martial arts practice.
Just as he was thinking, the door to the hall suddenly opened. The Old Magician ran in, his face full of panic. He glanced at Ah Dai and asked, "Young man, where is the vice president?"
Ah Dai answered honestly, "He said I passed the test and went to fetch the form."
The Old Magician was stunned, and said jealously, "I didn’t expect you really could pass the test. Young people are always unrealistic, learning both martial arts and magic. Be careful not to master either in the end."
Ah Dai quickly nodded and said, "Yes, my uncle told me the same thing before. Thank you for your advice."
The politeness of Ah Dai made the Old Magician somewhat embarrassed and he coughed twice, saying nothing more.
"Why is it so slow! Is the efficiency of your Mage Guild always this low?" A crisp voice like silver bells came from the hall.
The door opened, and Ah Dai felt a brightness before his eyes, it seemed as if the entire chamber had brightened because of her. A young girl, who looked like she was fourteen or fifteen, stood there, looking like an angel. Her light blue long hair was braided into two braids. She was about 1.6 meters tall, and her white dress was spotless. A pair of lively blue eyes were extremely tempting, and a thin layer of sacred aura shimmered on her face. She stood with one hand on her small waist, and the other was twirling a one-foot-long mini magic wand, staring discontentedly at the Old Magician. The magic wand was moving too fast for Ah Dai to see clearly, but he had a hunch that it was no ordinary wand. Most remarkably, the girl was exuding a faint sacred aura, which made her seem ethereal.
Ah Dai’s eyes widened, he had never seen such a refined and beautiful girl! Comparing Si Fei to her, it was like comparing a spark to the radiant moon. His stunned gaze was immediately noticed by the girl. She snorted angrily, pointed her wand at Ah Dai’s nose and said, "What are you staring at, big idiot? Haven’t you ever seen a beauty before?"
Ah Dai dropped his head in embarrassment, his face glowing red. He thinks to himself, while this girl looks good, she’s got a fiery temper. She might even be fiercer than Si Fei. Yatou is the best to him.
The Old Magician chuckled and said, "Miss, you’d better wait outside. The vice-president has gone to fetch something and will be back soon."
The girl pouted and said, "No, I’ll wait for him here. You better find him quickly. Your efficiency is too slow. If I wasn’t waiting to use the money, I wouldn’t come to this ghostly place."
Just as she was speaking, Kigg finally came out from the door in the wall, holding a stack of papers in his hand. He was taken aback upon seeing the situation. After looking at the indignant girl, he turned to the Old Magician and asked, "Old Huang, what’s going on?"
Seeing Kigg, the Old Magician let out an obvious sigh of relief. He gave a wry smile and said, "I don’t know what day it is today. Usually, we don’t even have a single person coming to take the magic test in a month. But today, two came all at once. This lady here also wants to take the magic test. You take over. I’m going to the front." He hurried out after speaking.
Kigg handed the papers to Ah Dai and said, "Young man, you’ll have to wait for a while. I will register you after I finish testing this lady."
