Chapter 40

Looking at Asuro’s cold expression, Hughes still sincerely thanked her!

Asuro nodded her head coldly. Then, she stretched out her left hand and gently tapped. A silver spatial magic array pattern lit up.

The two of them instantly appeared at the examination venue for the second exam – Mana Test.

“Come, let’s do the examination procedures for him.”

Hearing that someone was giving him orders, the examiner who was originally sitting on the stool with his head lowered raised his head proudly.

He was prepared to teach the woman who spoke a good lesson. This was the Royal Academy of the Hiro Empire, and not just anyone could give orders.

And when he saw the face of the person who came, the words that reached his throat could not be said at all.

“Ah… ah… Ah, teacher Asuro.”

“What, do you want to scold me? Please begin your performance.”

Asuro’s expression was still cold and indifferent, but the killing intent in her eyes shocked everyone present.

“No, no, I don’t dare. How would I dare to insult Master Asuro?”

“Don’t dare. Then why aren’t you doing the procedures for him?”

The official was frightened by Asuro’s suddenly raised tone. He hurriedly stretched out his hand and took Hughes’ identity certificate.

Then, he cast a speed spell on himself and completed all the procedures for Hughes at a speed that could not be discerned by the naked eye.

Asuro took the remaining number plate on the exam table and casually threw it into Hughes’ arms.

“Take your number plate and get lost!”

Asuro did not even turn her head and disappeared from where she was.

The official in charge of checking the identity certificate hugged his head and looked around. When he found that Asuro had really left, he then turned his gaze to Hughes.

Why was it still this cheater? To be able to invite teacher Asuro, Duke Tulip’s strength was really huge!

Fear was fear, but the self-proclaimed righteous official still looked down on Hughes.

He snorted coldly, put away the small table, and headed to the next verification area.

Hughes shook his head with a bitter smile. Previously, when he had asked Asura to compensate him, he had wanted Asura to testify on his behalf.

However, during the time he was unconscious, Asura had used up a large amount of spiritual power to help him advance from rank 3 to rank 4.

After that, he was immersed in the joy of advancing.

He had actually forgotten about the important matter of asking Asuro to testify for him.

“It seems that I can only look for Asuro after this exam is over. I hope I can still make it by then.”

After sighing to himself, Hughes stood up and rushed to the exam venue.

Unlike the previous magic theory basic exam, the second Magic Test venue was located at a field in the Royal Academy of the Hiro Empire.

By the time Hughes arrived at the field, it was already filled with 5,000 examinees.

In the middle of the field, the officials in charge of the test erected ten tall stone tablets for the magic test.

As the clear sound of ringing came from the bell, the examiner on the high platform announced the start of the test with a magic megaphone.

In the field, the originally messy group of examinees suddenly formed 10 columns and became orderly.

Under the supervision of the exam supervisor, the 5000 examinees walked up to the high platform in an orderly manner and tested their magic power.

Soon, the entire group was reduced by more than half. On the huge light screen in the center of the field, the ranking of the magic power test scores appeared.

Because the examinees present were very young, only 15 years old, they had only cultivated magic for a short three years counting from the year they awakened.

Although the examinees who were able to register for the Hiro Empire’s Royal Academy’s entrance exam were already geniuses among geniuses, it was impossible for them to achieve so much in three years no matter how talented a person was.

In fact, cultivating magic was something that required accumulation over time.

It was also because of this reason that the magician who appeared at the top of the leader board was only at Tier-2.

“It’s actually her. Is this little girl that strong? She actually has 99 points magic power. This is already at the peak of Tier-2.”

Hughes was naturally very happy to be able to see someone he knew on the leader board.

Moreover, this girl had left too deep an impression on him this morning. It would be difficult for him to forget her.

When he thought of Sylvie’s embarrassing situation this morning, a faint smile appeared on Hughes’s face.

At this moment, Hughes’s originally gloomy heart was cut open by the girl’s radiant smile.

The sunlight poured down and chased away the haze in Hughes’s heart.

“Seeing that you’re so outstanding and hardworking, I’ll be slightly better than you this time.”

A mischievous smile appeared on Hughes’ face. He was looking forward to seeing the brilliant expression on Sylvie’s face when she saw Hughes’ name appearing above her own name.

The magic test was extremely fast. Hughes, who was at the end of the team, quickly arrived at the front of the field and came before a magic test stone tablet.

Behind him stood thousands of students.

These students were all looking forward to it, hoping that their names wouldn’t be pushed off the ranking list by other students.

The entrance test of the Royal Academy of the Hiro Empire was extremely cruel. Each round of the test would eliminate a large number of people.

Of these, the second round of the magic test was the cruellest.

In this round, half of the five thousand students who participated in the examination would be eliminated.

Looking up at the ranking board not far away, Hughes saw that Sylvie’s name was still hanging high on the top of the ranking board.

“This time, I should be able to snatch the first place. Don’t blame me.”

After sighing in his heart, he slowly walked up to the high platform and placed his hand on the magic power test stone tablet.

“You are Hughes?”

The exam supervisor did not immediately open the magic test stone tablet. Instead, he asked Hughes with a look of disdain.

“Yes, I am Hughes.”

“Ha! Scum, you can rely on your connections to muddle through the first stage, but you will definitely not pass the second stage!”

The exam supervisor stared fiercely at Hughes, his eyes filled with indignation.

Hearing the invigilator’s words, Hughes’ heart suddenly relaxed.

From the looks of it, this teacher probably won’t tamper with my test results. With his current mood, he couldn’t wait for me to get a poor score.

I’m sorry Sylvie, I can’t exceed you by one point this time. I need this teacher to help me clear my suspicion of cheating.

After sorting out the pros and cons, Hughes put his hand on the induction stone again.

The next moment, the list suddenly changed.

Hughes’s name appeared at the top of the list!
