Chapter 907: Armin's Background



While Chad and Denise watched the examination in order to ensure that nothing went wrong and also to find a good seedling, Armin continued on with his task.

He had just consumed a diluted blood of an Asura... A single drop of Asura's Blood was able to make 10 liters of these potions. The vial he consumed only contained 20mL of this potion, and it also had various ingredients to ensure that its effects were good enough for the human body.

Well, after Shane learned that the Asura was the origin of the Dark Arts, it was natural that he'd take advantage of this. Because of that, he envisioned that all Dark Arcanists who would practice the Path here would become better.

Of course, with the Towers they obtained in the Celestial Prison Realm, Vale could actually decide to teach all the Arcane Paths in the Marshall Academy.

However, the problem would still be the existence of great teachers. After all, even if he had the resources, he couldn't just let anyone teach the young students. Education wasn't just about reading and writing, after all.

Anyway, after Armin consumed the potion, he immediately felt its effects.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

He planted his feet firmly, struggling to keep his balance as the examiners watched in silence.

'It's really strange...' Armin frowned as he did his best to concentrate and not lose consciousness.

After all, he had a feeling that he would fail the exam and be placed in the lowest class if that happened.

Since he was already here, he wanted to at least attend Class 2 or 3! The Class 1 might be impossible for his average talent, who had to rely on the Philosopher's Elixir to obtain a physique that could practice the Arcane Arts, but he believed that he should have the ability to at least get into the second class!

Armin wasn't too focused on the floor a while ago, but now that the man has gestured to it, He realized that he stood near a complex, arcane circle drawn on the floor.

Symbols he couldn't understand glowed faintly along its edges, exuding an eerie energy. "The final test is of courage," he said. "Step into the circle. This spell will surround you with a projection of your deepest fear, an illusion crafted from your own subconscious. Overcome it, and the test is complete. Right... In case you think that this is just to scare our students, this test will help you learn difficult or even those Forbidden Spells in the future... You have to remember that even if Forbidden Spells are prohibited, they are only for those evil people who would use them for their own selfish benefit. However, if you passed various tests from the Headmaster, restrictions would slowly be lifted..."

Armin was shocked after hearing this. Although he had no concept of how great these Forbidden Spells were, he believed that these Spells were incredibly powerful and could harm a lot of people, which was why they were forbidden in the first place...

Though he never thought of learning it before, he suddenly felt excited hearing this and nodded to the examiner.

Armin swallowed hard. There was some excitement, but still, nerves were prickling at the thought of confronting his greatest fear.

'What do I even fear anyway?' He wasn't sure what he would see here, but he somehow felt that whatever the result was, he would be able to achieve a good result.

'Ahh...'

Then, as he was about to get engulfed by the Arcane Circle's power, Armin recalled the only item in his possession that came from his relative...

Although he had no recollection of his parents, a man named Eustace had recently come looking for him and gave him a gold-plated timepiece, informing him that it was from his

great-grandfather.

This followed a series of fortunate events, such as being the only 12-year-old who had been luckily selected in the Orphanage to consume the Philosopher's Elixir.
