The campus of the Arcane Academy seemed exceptionally peaceful in the morning light, but this tranquility was soon broken by the upcoming final exams.

Today is the day when the first-year students go to the Monster Mountain Range for their second exam. The atmosphere in the academy is filled with tension and anticipation.

The Warcraft Mountain Range is located on the southwest side of the academy. The entire mountain range is winding and undulating, like a giant dragon sleeping on the earth. The outline of the mountain range is looming in the morning mist, and the towering peaks rise into the clouds, as if challenging the sky.

This place is not only the habitat of Warcraft, but also a treasure trove of various rare herbs and alchemical materials. Deep in the mountains, there are undiscovered ruins hidden. Legend has it that there are some mysterious powers buried there, attracting countless explorers to explore.

The teachers and student union members of the college will ensure the safety of every student. The teachers leading the team wore robes, held staffs in their hands, had serious expressions, and were always ready to deal with possible dangers. Members of the Student Union were busy distributing assignments and equipment to ensure that every student could complete the exam successfully.

Merlin stood among the crowd of examinees, gently rubbing the space ring in his hand. In this space ring lay a finished pistol made by the Steam and Star Workshop, as well as specially customized bullets.

At this time, a familiar figure walked up to him. The president of the student union, Alex, smiled and handed the assignment to Merlin. "Merlin, I look forward to your performance in the final exam."

Merlin nodded and took the assigned task sheet. Alex found that Merlin didn't want to say anything more to him, and he would not leave without getting bored. As for the plan to win over Merlin, he would not do it during the final exams. He didn't want to make both himself and Merlin unhappy.

Merlin flipped through the assignment book in his hand, which recorded the various tasks for the first-year final exam assigned by the Arcane Academy, including hunting monsters to obtain materials on their bodies, collecting magical herbs, searching for alchemical materials, and even exploring areas and recording them.

Although these tasks seem cumbersome, it is not particularly difficult to pass them. Of course, if you want a good grade, you have to do more tasks.

This final exam of the Arcane Academy is also for the academy to obtain the materials collected by students after completing their tasks in order to subsidize the increasingly tight finances of the academy.

The entrance to the Warcraft Mountains is a vibrant open space surrounded by towering trees, like a barrier from nature.

The air here is filled with the rich fragrance of plants and trees, and the sunlight shines through the leaves, casting mottled shadows, which looks particularly charming.

On one side of the open space, the buildings of the Adventurer's Guild and the Mercenary's Guild are lined up, with colorful signs hanging on the exterior walls, attracting passing adventurers and mercenaries to stop.

The entrance of the guild is always bustling with people coming and going. Adventurers come here to exchange experiences, share mission information, or seek partners.

Many mercenaries and adventurers were discussing all kinds of Warcraft at the door, with excited voices rising and falling one after another.

In addition to the guild, there are many small shops around that sell weapons and equipment, alchemical materials, and potion scrolls. The doors of the shops are filled with a variety of goods.

Merlin saw a merchant showing a staff that was glowing blue to a customer. Next to him was a young alchemist showing off her latest potion, which attracted the attention of many adventurers.

The air was filled with a variety of smells, a mixture of the fragrance of herbs and the fishy smell of metal.

On the other side of the open space, one can see some adventurers and mercenaries setting up stalls on the ground, selling materials and spoils they obtained from Warcraft.

Next to the stalls, the sound of bargaining could be heard constantly, and the lively scene around them made the students feel extremely fresh.

When the students of the Arcane Academy walked into this busy open space, people around them cast curious glances at them.

The students in the college uniforms stood out here. The final examination system of the Arcane College was not unfamiliar to those who made their living in the Warcraft Mountains.

Many adventurers and mercenaries are busy here, and will even take the initiative to contact the students of the academy, hoping to use this opportunity to win some favors for themselves and provide some help.

Merlin sensed the unique atmosphere of this area, which gave it a hint of an adventure into another world. Large mercenary groups were also conducting various transactions with the academy, recycling materials obtained by students during exams, forming a complex and close economic network.

"Merlin, long time no see. Do you want to team up and complete the mission together?"

Just as Merlin was checking his space ring, he heard a familiar voice ringing in his ears.

Merlin turned around and saw Carl in leather armor, Shirley in priest clothes, Alex in heavy armor, and Delia wearing glasses and looking depressed walking towards him.

"Karl, Shirley, Alex, and Delia, it's been a long time since we last met. Thank you for inviting me to join a team, but I already have teammates. Look, these two are here."

Merlin waved behind Carl. Carl and the other three turned around and saw Chris and Fate coming over.

Chris is also a famous figure in the Arcane Academy. She and Carl often compete with each other in the Magic Swordsman course. After all, both of them are inheritors of the [Sword Saint].

As for Fate, he is a little unknown, but many people still know that he is a prince.

"So the teammate Chris was talking about is you. Although it's a pity that I can't team up with you, I hope we can help each other if we encounter trouble in the Warcraft Mountains." Carl greeted Chris, nodded at Fate, and turned to Merlin.

"That's natural."

Chrissy hit Carl's back with her fist. "Hey, Carl, do you want to see who completed more tasks this time?"

"Let's compete. You make it sound like I'm afraid of you." Carl and Chris regard each other as rivals for mutual growth. The two of them are quite famous in the entire first grade for competing for the second place in the magic sword class.

Um? You ask why the two of them are competing for second place instead of first place?

That’s because the first place will always belong to that person!

Arthur Pendragon, the natural born king is always so dazzling. At this moment, he is surrounded by a group of students. These students are conquered by Arthur's personal charm and gather around him on their own initiative, hoping to follow Arthur and get help for his final exams.

This natural born king accepted the kindness of these people, but what he wanted was to try his best to help everyone around him pass the final exam.

This is not difficult for him!

Of course, Merlin is not bad in terms of popularity. He has rejected many first-year students who wanted to form a team recently, and these first-year students are basically his slaves.
