Magician Leicester quickly returned to his post after getting Allen's signature.
But his actions left Allen's classmates stunned and in disbelief.
"What? That magician actually knows Alan York? And he asks him for his autograph? I'm afraid I'm dreaming!"
"No...impossible...I must have seen it wrong..."
"I think...it would be more normal for Allen to go to the magician for an autograph."
"Listening to what the magician said...it seems that Allen has written a paper before and received high praise in the Mage Tower? He...is he really the Allen I know?"
"To be honest, when Alan answered the question in the calculus class that day, I had suspected that the real Alan York was dead, and the person in front of us now is his twin brother."
"..."
Everyone was talking a lot, and the way they looked at Allen was different from before.
"By the way, Allen," at this moment, Howard couldn't help but ask, "I heard that you took a talent test when you were at home?"
"That's right." Allen nodded.
"If you don't mind, could you tell me what the process is?"
"Well..." Allen thought for a while and replied, "The magician who helped me do the talent test took out a crystal ball and asked me to put my hand on it. After a few seconds, the crystal ball didn't respond. Magic
The master then told my father that my mental strength was too weak and I had no talent for learning magic."
"It doesn't sound complicated," Howard commented. Then he changed the topic and asked, "It's just... you can even write a magic paper, how could you not have talent?"
Allen smiled and replied: "It's a secret."
…………
A few minutes later, Magician Lesros walked to the front of the auditorium.
Seeing her figure, the students quickly stopped talking and became quiet.
"The talent test will begin soon. The ten best among you will be qualified to enter the Mage Tower."
Her voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear her clearly.
The students all held their breath and waited quietly for her next instructions.
As for Howard, he stared at her intently, waiting for her to take out the legendary crystal ball from her arms.
But what was expected did not happen.
Because reality is often stranger than imagination.
After saying these words, Lais took a step forward and disappeared into thin air in front of the public.
The students took a breath and were extremely shocked by this scene. At the same time, their desire for magic was stronger than before.
However, they then discovered that Lais was not the only one who disappeared in front of them.
But the entire auditorium.
And everyone in the auditorium.
At this moment, everyone is standing alone in a milky white mist, surrounded by a vast whiteness, unable to see the surrounding environment, let alone each other.
There is only a series of long and narrow stone steps, floating in the mist, extending into the distance.
Everything is dreamlike, like a fairyland.
At this time, Lesroth's voice echoed in their ears again:
"Let's go, young people. There are three thousand steps in total. The Mage Tower will choose the ten people who reach the top first."
…………
No one thought that the Mage Tower would suddenly change the test rules this year.
Many students were at a loss for this.
In particular, many children from wealthy families have made targeted preparations for the crystal ball test, and have learned many true or false techniques in private.
For example, "Recalling some angry things during the test can make the test results of mental strength higher."
They finally worked up their emotions and waited for the test to show off their acting skills, but they didn't expect such a damn thing to happen.
"Where's the crystal ball? Where's the crystal ball?"
"I've even made up stories about my revenge for killing my father and my hatred for taking away my wife, and you actually asked me to climb the stairs?"
…………
At the same time, in the auditorium.
The teachers and students who were watching were also dumbfounded.
In the moment just now, they watched helplessly as a hundred students around them disappeared out of thin air in front of them, as if they had turned into ashes, completely disappearing.
Like Jeffrey, he was hanging out with Allen and Howard just now, but in the blink of an eye, he was the only one left in the auditorium.
"Where did they go?" Jeffrey couldn't help but asked loudly.
Lesroth was still standing at the front of the auditorium, raising one hand to signal everyone to calm down.
"Don't worry," she explained, "They are all safe and will be fine.
"According to the requirements of Lord Merlins and Mr. Walder, we have made some changes to this year's admissions rules. These candidates were only temporarily sent to Lord Merlins' half-plane to participate in a series of assessments. etc.
After the assessment, they will be sent back again."
"Demiplane..."
After hearing this word, everyone suddenly realized it and couldn't help but marveled.
In this plane, there has been no legendary mage for too many years. Everyone feels a little unfamiliar with this term.
"I really want to know what will happen in the demiplane..." Many people couldn't help but think, "It must be very novel..."
As if he heard their inner thoughts, Magician Laisi waved his right hand in the air, creating countless suspended light curtains out of thin air.
In each light curtain, you can clearly see the figure of each candidate, as well as the long stairs in front of them that lead to the depths of the clouds and mist.
"It's incredible..."
"Magic is so amazing..."
Once again, everyone couldn't help but sigh.
However, at this moment, they suddenly discovered a serious problem
The number of figures in the light curtain is not more than a hundred.
Instead, it doubled, or even more.
"Where did those people come from?" someone asked, pointing to several unfamiliar faces that did not belong to the University of Cambridge.
Magician Les explained: "According to the request of Lord Merlins, in order to ensure fairness and justice, this year Cambridge University, Osford University and the descendants of the nobles will conduct assessments together under the same rules."
"It seems that this drama is getting more and more exciting..." Jeffrey looked at the light curtain and muttered silently in his heart, "Alan, I wish you good luck!"
…………
In the demiplane.
The quota to enter the Mage Tower is first come, first served.
Therefore, the candidates only hesitated for a moment, and then followed Lais' request and strode towards the stone steps, fearing that they would fall behind others.
They cannot see each other's progress.
But precisely because we couldn't see it, the atmosphere became even more tense.
