Linley knew very well how the magus talent test went. Bored, Linley watched as the youths and children, filled with hope, walked up to the Grand Priest, then returned with dejected faces. He felt a little moved. Seeing the expressions of those who had failed the test, Linley thought back to how he had failed his job application. At that time, his expression was so similar to those of these people!
But of course, Linley was merely moved. He didn't feel much pity or sympathy for those who had failed the test. After all, life and death were determined by fate, and wealth and honor were determined by the heavens. Talent in magic couldn't be forced.
As time passed, more and more people gathered in the hall. Because the magic test would last for seven days, most people were not in a hurry. By the time it was Linley's turn, there were already so many people waiting outside the main hall to take the test. However, after such a long time, only five or six people had passed the magic talent test.
"Next." the bald old man said.
Linley calmed himself down and entered, while Doehring Cowart remained by Linley's side. As far as Doehring Cowart was concerned, only Saints could barely sense his presence. As for these ordinary magi, they couldn't sense him at all.
Linley placed his hand on the crystal ball.
Immediately, like the sun, the entire crystal ball suddenly became dazzling. The earthen yellow and green light intertwined, and there was even an extremely small trace of fiery red mixed in. The blinding light even caused the eyes of those who approached to squint.
Everyone in the hall was stunned when they saw the crystal ball that was as dazzling as the sun. Doehring Cowart, who had been standing by Linley's side this entire time, was stunned as well. According to his guesses, there should be seven different colors that complemented each other. Why were there only two colors, earthen yellow and azure? But soon, when Doehring Cowart saw Linley's gaze, he seemed to have understood something and suppressed the doubts in his heart.
The bald old man trembled as he looked at the paper in his hand. It was written very clearly on the paper that Linley was only eight years old.
"Age: 8 years old, elemental affinity, earth and wind attributes, superior! Intermediate Fire Element. The bald old man felt his heart beating fast. Most mages had medium elemental affinity, and it was rare for them to have a higher affinity. As for the super affinity…it was even rarer.
Actually, based on Linley's elemental affinity, he should have surpassed the supreme level, but because there was no such thing as the supreme level, he was judged to have reached the supreme level.
"Phew!"
The entire hall exclaimed in shock. Elemental Affinity was actually Superior, and it was even dual-elemental. This was too terrifying.
After testing his elemental affinity, it was time to test his spiritual power!
"Please enter the magic array." The bald old man also used a rare 'please' to Linley.
In fact, even the surrounding nobles were looking at Linley in a different light. Superior elemental affinity meant that he could use a very short period of time to refine magic power, and the rest of the time could be used to train his spiritual power. His future achievements were limitless.
Linley stepped into the magic formation.
The magic array's warm white light lit up, and then a pressure directly acted on his soul.
Light-type spell, Intimidation.
"So weak. Compared to that Black Dragon's 'Dragon Might' half a year ago, it's much weaker.”Linley still had the time to think about other things. Based on his true abilities, attaining a Supreme-grade spiritual energy was a piece of cake, but Linley didn't want to do that. He only needed to attain a Supreme-grade elemental affinity. As for his spiritual energy, he only needed to attain a high-grade, and he would be able to enter the Ernst Institute. There was no need for him to attain a double Supreme-grade like Delia's brother, Dixie.
As time passed, the magic array grew brighter and brighter. At the same time, the power of the magic array grew stronger and stronger. Everyone in the cathedral hall held their breaths. Everyone could clearly see this scene. That ordinary-dressed young man would definitely be a powerful mage in the future.
Linley made a rough estimate. He felt that if he collapsed now, he should be able to obtain a high grade spiritual energy score.
Thinking of this, Linley pretended to be unable to hold on any longer, and with a bang, he knelt down on one knee, his hands propping up against the ground.
Everyone looked at the bald old man.
The bald old man's face was red as he said in a clear voice,""Spiritual power, twenty times that of your peers. High Spiritual Power, Superior Elemental Affinity.”
Rumble! As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Linley in a different way than before. There were all sorts of emotions, envy, jealousy, and hatred, but the only thing missing was the contempt from before.
"Who knows that young man? Which family?" The nobles below began to talk in low voices.
"His name is Linley." A few of the student recruitment officers learned of Linley's identity from the examiners.
Next, Linley truly experienced what it felt like to be a celebrity. The feeling of being snatched away by others was truly not bad. He felt as if he was a fragrant bun. In his previous life, he had never experienced such a feeling before.
"Linley, our Ernst Institute sincerely invites you to become a member of our Institute.”A voice sounded from afar. When this voice sounded, the entire hall fell silent. Even the bald old man stopped talking.
Linley turned to look.
A white-robed middle-aged man walked over and said with a smile,"Elemental Affinity is Superior, Spiritual Power is Superior, and it's a Dual Element Superior. Linley, our Ernst Institute welcomes you very much. Would you be willing to join our Ernst Institute?”
The nearby Hillman was stunned for quite a while as well. At this moment, he immediately ran to Linley's side. Right now, Hillman was so excited that his hands were trembling slightly.
Ernst Institute?
What did entering the number one magus institute of the Yulan continent, the Ernst Institute, represent?
This meant that once one graduated from the Ernst Institute, even an ordinary student could easily become a count in a kingdom. Even the Four Great Empires would solemnly invite outstanding students.
In addition, the Ernst Institute only accepted a hundred students a year from the vast Yulan continent!
A hundred people a year, what kind of probability was that?
All the students who entered the Ernst Institute could be called geniuses!
"Linley, agree to his request." Hillman was extremely excited.
Linley didn't feel too excited. Entering the Ernst Institute was already set in stone. He had only entered the Ernst Institute to see what Delia looked like. At the same time, he wanted to meet his brothers in dorm 1987. Learning magic was just a side effect.
"Sir, I am proud to be a member of the Ernst Institute.”Linley said respectfully.
The white-robed middle-aged man was amazed at Linley's calmness. Still smiling, he said,"Linley, I will report all of your information to the academy. When the time comes, all you need to do is bring along your identification card and enter the academy to undergo another test.”
It was useless to impersonate someone, because they would still have to take the test again when they went to the academy.
"The academy is divided into two semesters each year, and the semester starts on February 9th. You just need to arrive at the academy before February 9th. This is a proof of admission.”The white-robed middle-aged man took out a red letter from his bosom.
Actually, after the white-robed man had learned of Linley's results, he had written Linley's name on the admission letter. This was because the white-robed middle-aged man firmly believed that no one would refuse an invitation from the Ernst Institute!
"Thank you." Linley accepted the red letter.
