The Bizarre Wizarding World-Chapter 190 - 154 Duckweed

Outside the corridor, Colin leaned against the door, intently listening to the conversation inside the room.

Although the room had good soundproofing, it could not block out his extraordinary hearing at the Ultimate Knight Realm.

The voices were extremely faint and somewhat intermittent, but he still managed to roughly understand the specific situation.

’Matthew... can he really be so unreliable?’

Colin felt a sudden sinking feeling. He didn’t know how much this might affect them, the Wild Wizards.

The worst possibility... might be the inability to join a School again.

However, Colin reconsidered—

Becky had not sent them away directly but had asked them to wait outside...

What had been said was a suspension of the exam, not a cancellation.

With that thought, his mind settled somewhat, but he still couldn’t help but worry.

’Still too weak... like duckweed, drifting with the wind.’

He clenched his fists slightly.

One day, he would become a towering tree, a formidable boulder, no longer affected by the wind and rain!

Looking up, he saw the Wizards in the corridor not talking to each other; they all stood in silence.

The young Wizard who had spoken out before now looked distressed, with a flicker of panic in his eyes from time to time.

As for the triangular-eyed Wizard whose limbs were severed, he had been taken away by another Silver Knight to an unknown location.

Thinking of this, Colin felt an even greater chill.

For outsiders like them, Wild Wizards with no backing, if something happened on the School’s turf, it might not even stir a ripple.

After a while,

there were footsteps inside the room approaching the door. Colin stood up straight without making a sound and stepped aside.

The next second.

Click.

The door was opened by a Silver Knight.

"Wizards, please return to the examination room," came the indifferent, mechanical voice from his mouth.

After speaking, he stepped aside to indicate for the Wizards to enter.

"Return to your previous positions,"

Allyn instructed from inside the room.

Upon hearing these words, the Wizards sighed with relief and quickly walked into the room.

"I shall leave now." Becky carefully put away the record crystal ball in his hand, then paused and added, "Finish the exam as quickly as possible."

"Understood," Allyn nodded, watching Becky leave.

By now, all the Wizard Apprentices had mostly returned to their original spots, and Allyn continued:

"Advanced Wizard Apprentices, activate the crystal in front of you and reselect the Advanced knowledge test."

Among the Wizards taking the exam, there were certainly those who had bribed Matthew voluntarily, but there were probably also those who had been forced to offer bribes...

Moreover, internal struggles aside, the School’s examination could not just be cancelled.

After all, such a large-scale entry exam into the School only happened once every two years; if it were ruined due to internal conflicts, it would undoubtedly mar what would have been a flawless operation.

No sooner had Allyn’s voice ceased than most of the Apprentices in the hall suddenly changed their expressions.

But not a single one dared to make a sound.

Such an act was undoubtedly cheating, and from the perspective of the School, their examination eligibility could be completely revoked.

Still having the chance to take the exam was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Colin also sighed softly.

Those thousands of Magic Stones, it seemed, had gone to waste...

Pulling himself together, he reached out to touch the crystal.

After seeing the content on the interface, his heart sank.

Unlike the registry sheet that Matthew had brought out for him at that time, it was densely packed with various Advanced knowledge.

At this moment, the Crystal Ball interface scrolled past, revealing only twenty or thirty Advanced knowledge contents.

"Perhaps… it is due to the last-minute reselection, not enough time to update the question bank," Colin speculated darkly, feeling as if a stone was sinking to the bottom of the sea within his heart.

It must be noted that Lap School, after all, was but a small School on a remote island, and the quality of knowledge taught was naturally inferior to that of the Wizard Alliance.

Moreover, he had only learned Basic Level knowledge there, and before he could study the Advanced knowledge appropriate for an Advanced Apprentice, he was forced to leave and became a Wandering Wizard.

Nevertheless, he was not entirely ignorant of Advanced knowledge.

Spells such as Fireball Technique, which he had already mastered with the help of Golden Paper, had been Advanced several times and were no longer the Zeroth-Rank Basic Level witchcraft that did not require Advanced knowledge.

Their enhancements had also brought him some understandings of Advanced knowledge.

However, because he had not learned the related knowledge before mastering the spells, but instead learned the knowledge by deducing from the spells with the help of Golden Paper, his depth of understanding was sufficient, but the breadth was far from ideal.

"At this point… I can only hope for Advanced knowledge that I am familiar with," sighed Colin, as he quickly perused the contents.

In a short while, he had successfully and carefully reviewed the options, allowing him to relax a bit.

Although there was not much Advanced knowledge to choose from on the Crystal Ball interface, perhaps because spells like Fireball and Defensive Field were quite common,

after careful search, he was still able to find two items of corresponding Advanced knowledge.

However… it was uncertain whether these two items would be sufficient.

After selecting the Advanced knowledge, Colin began to answer the questions.

Unlike his calm, many Wizards around him had horrid expressions upon seeing the options in the Crystal Ball, and some even had large beads of sweat forming on their foreheads.

Unfortunately, there was no way to cheat through the Crystal Ball exam.

Still, some were foolishly hopeful…

Buzz—

The Magic Prohibition Ring on the front table flickered faintly, and Allyn furrowed his brow as he turned to look.

A brown-haired Apprentice was pretending to be calm as he stuffed something back into his chest… it looked to be some type of Witch Tool.

The large beads of sweat on his forehead betrayed his inner tension.

Allyn’s gaze lingered on him, flickering thoughtfully.

Just as the brown-haired Apprentice thought he might have slipped through unnoticed, he heard Allyn’s voice ring out firmly:

"Brown-haired Apprentice in the second row, third column, stop your exam, hand over your credentials to me, and leave on your own."

The face of the brown-haired Apprentice went deathly pale in an instant!

He stood in shock for several seconds, then began to speak with a shaky voice, "Sir, I…"

"I will say this only once," Allyn said coldly.

Despite the likelihood that under the effect of the Magic Prohibition Ring, the brown-haired Apprentice probably did not succeed in using the Witch Tool… as an example needed to be set, it was just his bad luck.

The words of excuse the brown-haired Apprentice was about to blurt out were forced back down by Allyn’s cold words.

He moved his lips feebly but eventually didn’t dare to say anything else, quietly taking his credentials from the table and walking towards Allyn with a look of utter defeat.

Seeing this, other Apprentices felt a heavy weight in their hearts and abandoned any tricks they might have been contemplating, some breaking out in a cold sweat and quickly putting away their own little gadgets.

Seeing this, Allyn nodded in satisfaction.

Thus, after about more than two hours, all the Wizards present had gradually finished the exam.

Those who could finish had done so, and those who could not, no amount of extra time would have helped them complete it.

In a timely manner, Allyn declared the exam over and asked them to wait inside for a while.

After a short wait, the Crystal Balls on the tables lit up.

"The results of the exam are in, red represents failure, gold and silver represent passing, with gold indicating excellence."

Allyn explained, pausing before adding:

"Those Wizards who did not pass, please leave the School promptly. Those who passed, including Advanced Apprentices and below, take your credentials and come here to register."

"The rest of the successful Advanced Wizard Apprentices, please wait for a moment, as there will be a practical application assessment to follow."

Below, Colin watched the silver light flicker in front of him and let out a sigh of relief.

’Thank goodness I passed.’

Although two of the items of Advanced knowledge were known to him, there was still one that he had to guess at random.

He chose something related to life transformation, specifically fusion of Demon Beast bloodlines… something he had very limited knowledge of, forcing him to bravely face the challenge with the limited knowledge he had.

Fortunately, he had narrowly managed to pass without incident.
