Chapter 672 - 309: The Script Is Wrong—Am I the Loser?
The girl named Susan took a deep breath and finally mustered the courage to step onto the stage, coming to the headmaster’s side.
Facing such a large audience for the first time, even though most were well-intentioned, it made this farm girl, who didn’t know what magic was before receiving her admission letter, feel extremely nervous.
God of Magic above, she swore she hadn’t seen as many people combined in the first twenty years of her life as she did now!
"Little Susan, open your dominant hand and place it on the crystal ball."
The old headmaster smiled and gave her an encouraging look.
His aging voice was steady yet filled with kindness, like a wise and caring elder.
"Don’t be afraid; this is just a simple test tool without any danger. No matter what happens, don’t panic, grandpa headmaster is here, I’ll ensure your safety."
"The testing crystal ball automatically absorbs the magic power within you and converts it into the corresponding attribute of Elemental Light. The longer it lasts, the more abundant your magic power is proven to be."
"Unlike other professionals, mages are the pets of the gods, the most favored beings in the world, naturally possessing Full Element Affinity, undoubtedly an All-Powerful Spellcaster."
"Of course, due to individual physique reasons, one or two elements with the strongest affinity will emerge. The magic ball helps you identify and discover them as a tool to help you learn and control your magic power."
Encouraged by the headmaster, Susan finally gathered the courage to place her palm on it.
The old headmaster stroked his white beard, smiling as he tapped the crystal ball with the magic staff.
Soon, colorful lights illuminated from within the magic ball, eagerly bursting forth.
Among them, the most eye-catching was a dark black, constantly emitting an eerie and captivating aura.
The headmaster, somewhat surprised, adjusted his glasses and praised, "What a surprise, Miss Susan, you possess an extremely rare Death Affinity, which is equivalent to an Elemental Heart level comprehensive talent. If you can pass the mind assessment and the darkness test, you will shine brightly in this Dao!"
Dea... Death Affinity?
Susan was instantly bewildered.
To someone not very familiar with magic, this sounded somewhat ominous.
She might not understand magic, but she knows what death is.
In the teacher’s seat, the witch demon Lu Wenwu saw earlier let out an eerie laugh from his throat.
He removed his hood, revealing a mummy face flickering with dark purple Undead Fire, showing Susan what he considered to be a friendly smile.
"Miss Susan, I can’t wait to welcome you into my Mage Tower and cultivate you into an era of undead he... oh no, it’s Undead Truth!"
"Corp... Corpse! The corpse has come to life!"
𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Susan was directly frightened to tears.
She subconsciously wanted to run, but due to the unfinished magic extraction of the crystal ball, she was forced to stand still, trembling like a sieve.
Both frightened and unable to escape, this timid girl blacked out, fainting directly.
Luckily, the headmaster acted in time, using an exquisite Floating Spell to support her, directly sending her to the seats where the freshmen sat.
There, a seemingly doctor-like white-haired old woman was already waiting.
It seemed this wasn’t the first occurrence, as Magick Wizard Academy had long prepared for such incidents.
A burly Tiger-man teacher grumbled discontentedly at the witch demon, quickly putting his hood back on.
His strength was so great, he almost twisted that fragile neck right off.
The headmaster glared in the direction of the teacher’s seat, raised his hand to signal the older students to be quiet, and then in a deep voice announced another name.
This time, stepping up was a furry Snow Wolf Race beastman, with slick and shiny silver-white fur. Even from a human perspective, he could be described as handsome—though it might also be cute.
This test proceeded smoothly, with no further incidents.
The werewolf’s inclined elements were the standard Ice Attribute and Wind Attribute, with cyan and icy white colors radiating from the crystal ball.
When the werewolf boy took his seat, another human stepped up...
The whole testing process went quickly, with each freshman taking about ten seconds to complete their test.
Only the Silver Skull, who drew great attention from the older students, took a full minute.
This was the talent of the undead creatures.
The Silver Skull was likely a mage before death, upon dying, instinctively absorbing and refining magic power to strengthen the bones, also forming the Heart of the Undead.
Such immense magic power came purely from enduring through time; no one knew how many years this entity lived since advancing to Silver Skull and gained self-awareness.
This innate talent, others cannot envy.
This is also one of the reasons mages are powerful.
Professions like thieves, warriors, knights, upon entering old age, see their fighting potential decline sharply due to weakening Qi Blood, struggling to maintain peak form.
In contrast, Masters of Magic grow in magic power and knowledge depth as they age, becoming ever stronger.
Unless aging to the point of Alchemy Law God Wood, or suffering irreversible damage, they continue advancing toward peak power throughout their life.
