"There are currently 13,500 people signed up."

Fang Zheng said this calmly while looking at the statistics on his personal terminal. Upon hearing Fang Zheng's answer, the expressions of the mages, including Mary, changed instantly.

"I suggest that you don't take in too many people at the beginning. Just find some students with good talents and strong comprehension. After they become apprentices, they can be responsible for teaching more apprentices, and you can focus on your own business."

This is the most common situation in Tiandao Palace at present. After all, when the cursed children first entered Tiandao Palace, there were not enough people to teach them, so Fang Zheng asked Hecate, Lydia and Nymph to each choose some students with relatively faster progress to teach. After they graduate, they can stay in the school to be responsible for teaching and management. So far, those children have done quite well, so Fang Zheng decided to transplant this system to Hogwarts.

After listening to Fang Zheng's words, Mary and the others finally felt relieved. However, after Fang Zheng left, they still couldn't help but talk about it.

"That's too many people... Our college can't recruit 10,000 people a year!"

“Maybe not everyone has talent.”

At this moment, Anne put forward her own ideas.

"I heard from my father that when the academy was first established, people from all over the country brought their children to sign up, but many of them had no talent for magic at all... Maybe it's the same here? After all, they don't look like they have ever been exposed to magic. Maybe they are not sure whether they have talent or not?"

"That's true."

Hearing this, everyone was more or less relieved, and Mary clapped her hands.

"Okay, get ready, let's start the review!"

Just as Annie said, if you want to become a wizard, you must first be examined to confirm whether you have the ability to cast magic. The method is the same as what Fang Zheng had used on Black Cat before. As long as a person puts his hand on the crystal ball for five seconds, it can be confirmed after five seconds.

If you are qualified, you will naturally proceed to the next step. If not, you can just go home and sleep.

Soon, the little ones lined up and entered the auditorium where the review would take place, and Mary also focused her attention and began to prepare for the assessment.

"Hello, please come over here."

As the assistant of a certain unscrupulous chief, although Mary had never accepted students herself, she often helped her teacher with exams and tests, so she was quite familiar with this aspect. She quickly pointed to one of the little ones at the head of the queue and motioned her to come over.

"Don't be nervous, put your hand on the crystal ball and concentrate..."

"Okay, okay..."

Hearing Mary's words, the little girl was obviously a little nervous. She reached out and pressed the crystal ball. Not long after, Mary saw a soft glow and symbols emanating from the crystal ball in front of her...

"It's the Transformation and Divination departments... Well, you passed."

After taking a look at the little guy in front of her, Mary ticked the name on the list displayed on her personal terminal and smiled at her. The little guy nodded happily and bowed to her obediently.

"Thanks!"

After saying this, the little guy jumped and turned away. Mary looked at her back with a smile and nodded secretly. It seemed that she had a good start, which was not bad.

But soon, Mary felt something was wrong.

"Well, very good, you passed. Next..."

"Oh, you have good talent. You've passed. Next one..."

"Very good, you passed. Next..."

"You've passed the test, um... nothing, next..."

"Passed... Oh, you have quite a talent..."

Finally, after a morning of this, Mary was completely numb, and the others were not much better. When they left the auditorium and returned to the lounge at the back, everyone's expression was as if they had been pinned to the ground by dozens of burly men, full of confusion and emptiness.

who I am?

Where am I?

What am I doing?

Why are so many people qualified?

Am I dreaming?

"…How many people on your side are qualified?"

Mary was lying on the sofa, speaking in a soft voice, and the others answered weakly.

"Five hundred and twenty people..."

"Six hundred and thirty-five people..."

"Four hundred and seventy-two people..."

“Are there any unqualified ones?”

“…”

This time, everyone was silent for a long time before answering weakly.

"No……"

"No...how is this possible?"

"Yeah...how is that possible?"

At the moment, Mary and others feel like teachers marking college entrance examination papers. When they see that all the papers in front of them are above 700 points, their first reaction is "How is this possible?" "I must be dreaming".

Mary didn't even have the strength to speak.

According to her experience, it was normal for one in ten thousand to have magical talent, one in a thousand was quite good, and one in a hundred was worthy of the goddess' blessing.

But taking this one is a...what the hell?

How could there be so many students with magical talents here? ?

Mary was puzzled and couldn't figure out why this happened.

Could it be that the past ten years of my life were all fake?

Fang Zheng certainly didn't know that those little guys under his command had caused the wizard from the White Tower to begin to doubt his life. In fact, he didn't have the time to do so now, because Fang Zheng was more concerned about the attack on Iona before.

Although the sneak attack ended in a funny and dull ending because of the opponent's ridiculous strength, the fact that someone dared to attack Tiandao Palace in Golden Bay speaks volumes. Fang Zheng has already investigated through the "Whispering Chapter" and found that the attacker was not from the White Tower. On the contrary, the other party has been hiding his identity and working as a worker at the dock of Golden Bay, while keeping a close eye on the actions of Tiandao Palace.

And Iona was targeted by the other party because she went to pick someone up.

The problem is not being targeted, but who is targeting you.

"Kuang San."

Fang Zheng closed the Whispering Announcement, his face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water was about to drip out. When he heard his voice, Fang Zheng's shadow shook a few times, and then Kuang San emerged from the shadow with a smile.

"Yes, Mr. Fang Zheng, what can I do for you?"

"How is the situation with the mercenary group?"

Kurumi's real body is not with the mercenary group. She just left a clone to accompany Hu Tao. After all, Kurumi has countless clones, so it is very easy to use them if she wants.

"Everything is going well. Miss Kurumi has grown much faster than I thought..."

"very good."

Hearing Kuang San's answer, Fang Zheng nodded.

"What about the investigation into the cult?"

"We have found some targets, but we are not precise enough yet."

"It doesn't matter, as long as there is a goal."

Fang Zheng snorted softly.

When he was investigating with the "Annunciation Volume", he had already learned the identity of the attacker and the real purpose behind him - the attacker was a believer of the Church of the Day of Destruction, and he attacked Iona in order to cause a conflict between the Heavenly Palace and the Kingdom of Fire, because in addition to being a believer of the Day of Destruction, the attacker was also a noble of the Kingdom of Fire.

It can be said that if Fang Zheng did not have a magical artifact like "The Confession", he might have been led into the ditch by the Church of the Day of Destruction.

Not only that, through the Whispering Volume, Fang Zheng also learned about the latest plan of the Church of the Day of Destruction - they will "purify evil" in the name of the Tiandao Palace in various parts of the mainland, discredit the reputation of the Tiandao Palace, and alienate the relationship between the Tiandao Palace and other countries. Their purpose is simple, that is, they hope that the two sides will split, and then fish in troubled waters. If they can really provoke a war between the Tiandao Palace and other countries, and then take the opportunity to assassinate several important members of both sides, then the entire continent will be plunged into war.

And their goal was achieved!

Alpaca! The idea has come to my head! !

After seeing all this, Fang Zheng was almost pissed off. Hey, I've been recuperating and not saying anything for a while, do you really think I'm easy to bully?

It turns out that terrorist organizations must be eradicated completely!

"Get ready, we are going to the East Continent..."

Having said that, Fang Zheng gritted his teeth and made a decision.

"Clean up the scourge!"
