The man still couldn't believe it, this girl was indeed a level five mage and she was only sixteen, it was mind boggling.
He looked at the man who had put his arm around her shoulders and he said to him : "Of course ! Of course !"
He then said to this girl : "Celia welcome to the annual All-Talents Competition, there are a lot of level five mages this year, I hope you will be fine."
Celia then asked him : "Excuse me, but my brother just told me that I can choose which category I want to register in, and I would like to register in the category of those who have a level ten."
The man and Alec exclaimed at the same time : "With those in level ten ..."
Alec was stunned, after revealing this to Celia he had indeed expected that she would choose to fight against mages more powerful than her but he had thought that she would be reasonable and that she would choose perhaps to fight against the level eight ones, but never he had imagined that she would choose to fight against the level ten ones, then he said to her : "Celia, maybe you can think about it a little bit more, taking on level eight mages for example would already be a good accomplishment, don't you think so ?"
The man could not believe his ears he decided to say the bottom of his thought : "You are his brother and you still propose to her to fight against mages of level eight, are you out of your mind, without talking about level ten mages, I'm sorry but that's out of the question, unless you can prove you're good enough, I won't put you in another category."
Celia was a little upset by this man's words so she answered him still politely : "I want to be register with level ten mages and make me take whatever tests you want because i won't change my mind."
She turned to Alec and said : "Alec, dear brother, did you really think I was just going to fight level eight mages ?"
Alec sighed helplessly and said to her : "Now that you said it like that, I would have done better to shut up, Liam is going to kill me, don't forget that you are representating the Northern Academy."
The man thought that nothing could shock him anymore with these two siblings but he exclaimed again : "Celia, are you really going to represent the Northern Academy ? And did you just say Liam, you mean The Master Liam from the Northern Academy ?"
Alec laughed and took out his communication stone, Liam's face appeared and Alec said to him : "Master Liam, I have a little problem with Celia's registration, do you happen to know this man who has to take care of us ?"
Liam answered him : "No, i don't, why do you have a problem to register her ?"
Alec looked at him hesitantly and finally confessed : "I told her that she could choose to register into whatever category she would like to, and she chose to sign up with level ten mages, this man wants her to take some tests before register her."
Liam looked at Celia and asked her : "Are you sure you can compete against level ten mages ?"
Celia replied confidently : "Absolutely."
Liam just nodded to her to signify that he was okay and said to the man : "I am Liam, a Great Master of the Northern Academy, Celia is my disciple, so I allow her to participate in this competition in the category of her choice you can make her pass any tests you want but this is a waste of time, if Celia says she can fight against level ten mages then she can.
Alec, babe, i will leave the rest to you, I have to deal with our other phenomenon."
Alec just told him : "Sure, don't worry !"
Liam cut off the call and Alec asked the man : "You heard what Liam has just said, right ? So where does Celia have to go to take the tests ?"
The man just replied : "Follow me, this way please."
He motioned for another mage to take his place to continue to register the participants and led Celia and Alec into a large room, he explained to them : "We have set up this room on purpose to test the participants who would like to fight in a category. above theirs."
He looked at Celia and said to her : "Girl one of the tests is to remove as much impurities as possible from a magic herb which is level eleven, so I have to be sure that you can dissolve and remove a little impurities from it or there will be no point at all to compete with level ten mages.
There are three magic herbs level eleven right here, so I'll give you three tries to do it."
Celia had never tried to remove impurities from a level eleven magic herb before, she couldn't help but say : "So cool !"
With her spiritual energy she lifted a stalk of magic herb level eleven into the air and a few seconds later it was already dissolved, Celia concentrated a little bit more because after all it was still a stalk of magic herb level eleven, and it was really one of a poor quality, without her green papers it still took her a good five minutes to remove all the impurities, she put the powder of the magic herb in a test tube provided for this purpose and handed it to the man so that he could control its purity.
That man looked so disbelief than his jaw was still down, Alec coughed a few times to wake up him and then that man hurry and place the powder inside the tool to checked its purity.
Celia winked at Alec and Alec already knew the number that was going to appear on this machine, few seconds later the number one hundred appeared and the man couldn't believe it.
Even level ten mages had a hard time to remove more than ninety percent of the impurities, but a hundred percent purity rate was unheard of.
Celia smiled at the man and asked him : "So can I compete with level ten mages ?"
The man did not know what to think anymore but one thing was certain is that this girl was exceptional, she had not even used a cauldron to do it and she was also the disciple of the Great Master Liam of the Northern Academy so it will be alright for her he guessed.
He just said : "Sure, please rest assure that i will look over you during this competition, you can come at me if you have any questions, my name is Valentin."
Celia and Alec thanked him and walked back to the bridge where the others were waiting.
The competition will start the day after tomorrow at nine in the morning, Celia was so excited that she couldn't stop smiling.
