After finishing his theoretical examination, Lucius immediately got ready to take the practice exam held downstairs.
In the middle of the large hall, several teachers and professors, including the Student Council, were preparing various facilities for their practical examinations.
The first practice test was a metal ball hovering above the air with 10 rings circling it randomly.
Then a gigantic magic crystal that would be used to measure Mana.
And lastly, the exam is conducted outside the room where students will be asked to shoot the best and strongest magic they have into the sky.
The last test was also used as the last celebration of this class determination test. Where many of the townspeople were present to witness it live from outside the academy.
While the family members obtained the invitation for the final exam and were able to see directly from within the academy.
"Yoo, Lucius. How was the theory test just now?" max asked as he patted Lucius' shoulder hard.
"Eh? Aah, yeah, that's fine."
"Whatever it is, even for me it is too easy." said Sophia who had just arrived.
"You're right, the exam just now was pretty easy as long as you were studying. I'm sure Lucius will get a perfect score out of it." said Alex, who had just arrived.
Emily and Oliver are seen coming after without saying a word. Although Emily is the daughter of the noble guarding the library, she prefers to learn other magic compared to the academy lessons.
And Oliver himself....
"Damn. Useless lesson, how did the lesson just help me kill the target?" lamented Oliver.
Lucius soon realized that both their angry faces and their gloomy attitudes were due to their difficulty in working on the theory test.
As the six of them had just gathered, Professor Levaria as well as the Head of this Academy immediately went up the pulpit and spoke.
"Congratulations to all of you for completing the theory exam. The academy employees will correct your current work as well. Now, you're about to begin a practical exam to gauge how well you can apply that knowledge just now in the real world."
Professor Levaria continued his brief speech as well as the explanation of each exam itself.
The first test is a balance plate where a metal ball with 10 rings surrounds it. Depending on how many rings the learner can balance, it will determine their skill in Mana mastery.
Then the test of the giant magic crystal was very simple. That is to measure how much mana capacity a person directly.
But it's not just that.
In order to measure it, a student would have to channel their Mana into that magic crystal. The slightly clear crystal color change to bluish it would be a benchmark of how big one's Mana was.
Of course, since this test would deplete Mana, it would be wise if a learner left enough Mana for their best magic testing later on.
"And lastly on the practice exam this time, the Witch Hero, Miss Alora Skyweaver will accompany us all. He will assess directly the abilities of each of you." explains Professor Levaria harshly.
All the students started to get scared. Since the magician's abilities were too high, it would naturally make judgment extremely difficult.
"Damn it! Why is he here?" complained Max. However, the practice of magic is his weakest field because he focuses more on physical abilities.
While Emily and Oliver look more confident in this practice exam.
Meanwhile....
"Are you sure it's okay to spend time on exams like this, Miss Alora?" professor Levaria asked with a slightly worried face.
"No problem. I want to see a person's development." he replied with a smile.
"Well, the kid?"
"Yes. After all, he was a young man whom I acknowledged his talent. And the person most likely to be chosen as the next witch hero." Alora replied.
Levaria was a little worried to hear the words of Alora who was impressed that she could lose her life at any time.
"Please don't talk like that, Miss Alora. You still have that future...."
"The Great Khan has been defeated" said Alora briefly cutting Levaria's words.
'Deg! The deg!!'
"Eh? Great Khan.... Don't tell me, the leader of all the Barbarians in the North?" levaria asked in surprise.
Alora nodded her head slowly. Justifying the question from this Head of the Academy.
"But isn't he at least expected to have an SS level of strength upwards? One level below you?" levaria.
"Not only that. The Great Khan also had 8 subordinates with a level of at least S. Although slightly weak in magic, the Barbarian army under the command of the great Khan was very strong in physical combat. It could be said to be one of the strongest in the Continent." Alora explained as she closed her eyes in annoyance.
"Who beat him? Are the Elves because they are quite close to the Elf Forest?" ask Levaria.
Alora was silent for a moment while observing the students taking part in this test.
In the balance test, almost no one is able to balance up to 4 rings. As for the magic crystal exam, most were only able to reach the number 40. And only a small percentage are able to reach the number 60 and above.
As Alora glanced out of this hall, she could see that most were only capable of making small explosive magic or 4-meter-high stone pillars.
"Your disciples this time are really pitiful, Levaria." lamented Alora after paying attention to all the students just now.
"I think so too. This generation is not very good, although there are some exceptions." Levaria replied while staring at one of the students with reddish hair.
He was none other than Damon Emberheart from class C who managed to balance 6 pieces of magic rings, obtaining a measurement number of Mana reaching 150, which he was able to achieve, it is also capable of creating large explosions in the air using its flagship fire element magic.
"Well, at least he'll move up to grade B, right? Or A?" ask Alora curious.
After a while back observing the exams of the other students, Levaria again raised the question just now.
"So, who defeated the Great Khan?"
"We can't be sure yet." reply Alora briefly.
"What's? The Great Khan Killer should also be a powerful figure right? How is that possible...."
"The Light Church sent 2 Inquisitors as well as 250 Holy Knights. Included in it were 10 Paladins. But no one came back from there." Alora replied with a face full of anger.
The power of an Inquisitor was close to SS level. Making their defeat even to the point of not being able to report back was terrible.
Similarly, the 10 Paladins who had power were close to that S level.
If they could all be defeated without leaving a trace. That means their opponents are terrible both in strength and ingenuity.
"I'm sorry to question that." Levaria said regretfully. He soon kept silent and intended to walk away from Alora, giving her some space to be alone. But....
"That's why I came here. I expected a lot from the boy." said Alora while watching Lucius in the distance.
Lucius seemed able to easily balance the entire 10 rings surrounding the floating metal ball.
"Wait first. Don't say...."
"I will take him on an expedition to the North with me, 2 Inquisitors, 15 Paladins, and also 300 Holy Knights. Of course, it all depends on the results of the test." replied Alora who seemed to have known the question that would be asked by the Head of the Academy.
At this time, the two noticed Lucius's figure that began to be surrounded by many other students. Everyone seemed to be starting to support because they were filled with admiration for him.
In the presence of that somewhat clear magic crystal, Lucius placed his hand on the prepared device. Then drain most of the Mana present in his body into that magic crystal.
The upshot....
"yeah. Like I thought. The boy was really talented." said Alora after seeing the entire crystal of clear magic change color to dark blue.
While the numbers recorded for Lucius' potential magic abilities....
"You kidding?! 638?!" yelled Levaria surprised.
Even though it looks small, that number is actually a huge value. The average S-level mage would have a Mana capacity of 200.
As for what Lucius currently possessed, it was at least three times greater than the peak of his strength that it used to be.
"Hm.... Should I be pouring more?" lucius asked himself as he looked at his right hand.
"No-Miss Alora? Sorry I was curious but.." said Levaria with a goosebumping body after seeing Lucius' strength just now.
"Hmm, he still didn't use all the Mana in his body. If I keep Mana in the same percentage as her.... Maybe I will get a value of about 2,000." explained Alora who seemed to have understood Levaria's question.
Last time when Lucius did the test to bring out his best magic....
"It's hot outside too. Reportedly there are many who are watching from outside the academy?" lucius asked himself while looking at the cloudless clear sky.
Realizing that, Lucius immediately knew what magic he was going to use.
'Swuuuusshh!!!'
On the ground where Lucius was standing, a gigantic magic array appeared with three different colors.
The largest magic circle has a beautiful bright blue color, then surrounds the greenish magic circle in the middle.
The four small magic circles are outside the main formation but are indirectly connected. All of them have a beautiful bright red color.
The same formation also formed in the sky with a much larger size.
Looking at that set of magic formations, Alora smiled widely while laughing lightly.
"Miss Alora, don't say this as I imagined it to be." said Levaria after noticing Lucius' complex array of magic formations.
"It seems that our thinking is the same. Well, whatever it is, I'll borrow Lucius after this. I will make a request for this expedition as a mission of devotion for Lucius later from the Light Church. Please explain the rest to her." explained Alora as she walked away leaving the hall.
He looked up at the sky with a big smile on his face. Alora felt so proud to see there was a very superior seedling in this kingdom.
After which, the bright and hot sky suddenly changed very drastically. Clouds started to form then started to gather around this academy. Form a hexagon and shelter the residents who watch the test of this practice.
Provides coolness and comfort to all who watch it.
"Dad! Look at sister's magic! Really awesome!" shouted Michelle who had finished her exam earlier, then watched Lucius' exam.
"Lucius, you really make me proud."
"Honey, he's really our son, isn't he? Aye right?" mother Lucius said in tears as she was moved by her son's achievement.
"Of course he is our son. Seems.... Putting him into this academy was the right choice. Even if you have to sacrifice a lot of things." said Lucius' father while continuing to look at the cloud that is so shaded with the perfect hexagon shape.
Everyone was stunned by Lucius' ability not just to control the weather. But creating the weather himself as he willed.
Purely thanks to his understanding of the world and also the magic that is so extraordinary.
Meanwhile in the distance....
"I'm expecting you after this, Lucius" said Alora after seeing the hexagon-shaped cloud before opening the portal and returning to the Church.
