Magic Chronicles : Fallen Race

After the rejuvenating afternoon nap.

Reji held the spirited little girl's hand and set off with Freya to the registration office of Darran Academy.

According to the historical plot, his "initial rise to prominence" as the Hero was in this session of the "Academy Competition".

At first, no one had high hopes for him, and he had no reputation.

It was through round after round of hardcore arena battles, passing through layers of selection and defeating opponents, that he finally broke through under the constant level-up from fighting, and won the championship title of this Academy Competition.

Reji believed that the difficulty and hardship of this plot segment could definitely be ranked among the top 3 in the entire game.

Of course, the rewards were also great. Taking this as an opportunity, he was announced as a disciple by the legendary mage Malvin, and from then on, he truly made his debut on the world stage, with his social status leaping several levels.

Now, due to his modification of history, under the butterfly effect, the intensity of the current Academy Competition was obviously much higher than in the game.

Previously, it was only the powerhouses of Darran Academy, but now it had gathered genius mages from all over the world.

Just the registration office was already a sea of people. In order to save efficiency, the organizers of the academy placed several magic stones in the center of the grand stage to test talent.

All contestants who came to register for the Academy Competition had to first go on stage for a magic power test.

The operation method was also very simple. Just walk up and place your hand on the magic stone. Then, this crystal-clear jade would estimate the user's talent level based on the purity of their magic power and flash accordingly.

The more impure the magic power, the lower the talent, and the slower the magic stone would flash. Conversely, the higher the purity, the higher the talent, and the faster and more intense the light of the magic stone would flash.

"Magic power, three segments!"

Another young man went up, full of expectations, and placed his hand on the magic stone. As a result, the magic stone flashed weakly three times and stopped. The academy's testing staff shook their head at him regretfully and repeated the rules.

"To be exempt from the preliminary rounds, the minimum requirement is four segments. Sorry, please go over there to register and prepare to draw lots for your opponent."

Then several more people went on stage for testing, generally around three or four segments. Occasionally, there would be a five or six-segment talent, which was enough to elicit gasps of surprise from the surrounding crowd.

The genius mage certified as six segments had just come down from the testing magic stone on the stage when he was immediately surrounded like a star.

Some who set up betting pools hurried to learn about his information and tried to get close to him. After all, six-segment talent was very high. Even if he couldn't win the championship, he at least had the potential to make it to the top eight.

Before long, it was soon Reji's group's turn.

Although it looked like there were so many people gathered here, a sea of people, the actual number of contestants who dared to go up for testing was not many.

Because if you tested out extremely high talent, it was indeed the focus of everyone's admiration.

But if the test result was very low, like that three-segment young man, it would be embarrassing.

"Freya You go up first. And Good luck, I have faith in you!"

"Eh? But I..."

"Since we're here, just give it a try."

Just like in the historical plot.

At first, Freya was a bit reluctant. After all, she didn't like such attention-grabbing occasions. But under Reji's persuasion, she still walked onto the stage.

Then, when Freya put her hand on the magic stone, after a two to three-second delay, the magic stone began to flash.

One, two, three... When it flashed to the fourth time, the surrounding crowd had some expectations. When it flashed to the fifth time, it had already attracted the gazes of the many contestants. After the sixth flash, gasps of surprise rang out. Another six-segment genius?

However...

Buzz!

The magic stone didn't stop and continued to flash one more time before finally dimming.

And this was enough to surprise and delight everyone in the entire testing area, including the teachers from Darran Academy.

"Wait, wait, am I seeing things? Did the magic stone just flash seven times?"

"It was seven times, no mistake. I was counting the whole time!"

"What the hell? Magic power seven segments?? She looks only about twenty years old!"

"What kind of monster is this!"

"Tsk tsk, this session of the Academy Competition is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. After Malvin's reputation for wanting to take in a disciple spread, who knows how many monsters and freaks have emerged."

"Quick! Now, immediately, get that girl's information. This is definitely a top contender for the championship!"

The excited and swarming crowd seemed to want to rush onto the stage.

And in the distance, on the top floor of a certain mage tower, Malvin, who had been silently observing the Academy Competition, immediately frowned at this scene.

With a casual wave of his hand, a transparent air wall rose up on the venue.

And this seemed to be a signal. The teachers of Darran Academy also reacted, immediately using spells to maintain order and warning the onlookers who wanted to probe Freya in various ways.

Protecting the privacy and safety of the contestants was also their responsibility as the organizers. Without Freya's personal permission, no other outsiders were allowed to bother her too much.

After order was restored, Malvin on the mage tower nodded in satisfaction.

He felt that Freya's face looked a bit familiar.

After taking a closer look, he recognized her.

Wasn't this the Saintess of the Radiant Church?

The Radiant Church in this period was still a relatively low-key and ordinary branch among the many "fate track" religious sects, not particularly outstanding.

So after recognizing Freya's identity, Malvin wasn't too surprised.

He could only say that the Radiant Church this session was indeed not bad, having cultivated such an excellent seedling that even made him interested.

After all, when he was young and took the magic stone test, he was only at the eight-segment level.

So... Actually, testing talent wasn't the point.

Malvin's real focus was...

So, was she the savior?

The threat that the Demon race was afraid of and accelerating their progress for, was it this session's Radiant Saintess?

It seemed more and more likely the more he thought about it.

Malvin immediately became excited and couldn't even sit still. He was about to set off and directly approach Freya.

However, Just as this legendary great mage was about to have a sip of tea to calm himself and tidy up his appearance to meet Freya as a teacher...

The next scene from the testing venue made Malvin spit out his tea.

It was seen that after Freya, her companion also followed and went on stage for testing.

It was a very strange combination.

A handsome young man with a... cute little girl.

A handsome man, a beautiful woman, plus a cute child.

Such a combination was already extremely eye-catching.

So when Reji proposed to let Vielsia also take the test, the academy teachers who were the organizers gladly agreed.

With Reji's help, the little girl placed her chubby little hand on the magic stone.

Then, the next moment.

The magic stone began to flash. One, two... five, six, seven, eight.

After the eighth flash, the magic stone finally dimmed.

Vielsia didn't quite understand and just thought that this flashing stone seemed quite fun, but it was a pity that it could only flash a few times.

If these thoughts were heard by the surrounding crowd, they would probably spit blood on the spot.

Although the current effect was probably similar.

When the little girl turned around, ready to find Reji for more hugs...

As a result, when she turned her head, she saw that everyone around her, whether spectators, contestants, or the academy teachers who were the organizers, all had petrified expressions, their eyes wide open, shocked beyond belief as they looked at her.
