【Victor's Forest Secret Realm】—that is the name of this assessment.
According to the rules, each candidate will engage in four encounter battles within the Forest Secret Realm.
The monsters encountered in each battle are different, with varying strengths and numbers.
The four battles will feature one, three, five, and ten monsters respectively.
If you can successfully complete the challenge in the third encounter, then you will pass the test.
Hennie waved her magic over the scroll, and the rules of the exam appeared in the center.
The students present looked at the rules on the scroll and hesitated.
They couldn't believe it.
Professor Victor's test actually requires them to personally challenge monsters!?
This is actually a real-world exam?!
Isn't this just playing with fire?
"As mentioned before, there is no limit to the number of attempts for this exam; candidates who fail can retake it."
"Don't worry, everyone. If you encounter any life-threatening danger, the secret realm will automatically teleport you out and heal you."
Upon hearing this, the students looked at each other in bewilderment.
While such protective measures certainly provided a sense of security, hearing about actual combat still made them somewhat...
timid.
The students at the Royal Magic Academy have virtually no practical combat experience.
At most, I would try casting spells in the arcane hall and hit wooden dummies.
Even though Associate Professor Henney said there was no danger to their lives, the students still instinctively resisted.
The students began to have second thoughts, and some of the students at the back even took a few steps toward the exit.
But perhaps the temptation of being able to pass twice at once is too great for students.
After hesitating for a long time, they returned to the crowd.
Let's at least wait and see.
Of course, Henne saw their retreat.
"Then, the assessment will begin. Candidates who are ready, please line up and enter the examination room in order."
Those dozens of green teleportation arrays are the so-called 'examination rooms'.
With a wave of her hand, Heni activated the green magic circle, which emitted bursts of green energy.
Many candidates are aware that once they step into this arena, they will face an unprecedented real-world assessment.
Erica was the first to take action.
She paid no attention to the fear and shock of the students around her and walked toward the portal in front of her.
The teleportation array beneath her feet gradually emitted light, and soon, Erica's body transformed into wisps of magical energy and dissipated, merging into the painting.
"She went in!?"
"I hope nothing bad happens."
"Should we wait for Erica to come out and ask her what's going on inside?"
The students who stayed behind started discussing among themselves.
However, just as Erica was fully inside the painting, a dozen more students squeezed out of the crowd and headed toward the portals in front of them.
These people were gradually recognized by the test takers.
“These people…”
"They're all top-ranked students..."
Erica wasn't the only one looking forward to Viktor's test.
They followed closely behind Erica, entering the secret realm one by one.
Although they didn't take Victor's test at the Arcane Hall that day, it was just a superficial and ineffective educational experience.
True geniuses look forward to any challenge.
Moreover.
This is just an assessment, and there's no limit to the number of assessments.
If you don't even have the courage to get into it, you might as well give up on the exam from the start.
Once they had all entered the magic circle, most of the students quieted down.
As they gazed at the glowing magic circle, a fire seemed to be burning within them, but this flame was quickly extinguished by a bucket of water called "calmness."
finally.
A small number of candidates voluntarily gave up on the exam. They looked distressed, shook their heads, and turned to walk towards the teleportation portal of the mage tower.
As they left, their expressions seemed quite complex.
I don't know if it's the distress of my own timidity or the regret of my lack of ability.
Hene observed them but neither stopped them nor urged the students to step forward for the assessment immediately.
After all, it was just as these students had thought.
Professor Victor's exam.
This is probably the most difficult exam the college has taken in recent years.
...
A few streaks of green light slowly descended into the dense forest, and the glowing body made Erica feel somewhat light.
But the thick foliage around her told her that this was not an illusion, but a real dense forest.
This is a series of challenging spaces created by Kokot's spatial magic and the calamity of wood.
Each space is independent, and the candidates do not interfere with each other.
Erica, at this point, cannot yet perceive the magic of this space.
She looked ahead, and behind a tangled mass of branches and leaves, there seemed to be a faint darkness.
As Erica walked forward, she saw a winding path.
The path was covered by weeds and was difficult to spot.
Erica walked carefully along the path, not daring to take big or fast steps.
Even without the sudden appearance of monsters, the insects and mosquitoes among the dense bushes in this forest can be quite bothersome.
She continued forward step by step, her footsteps treading over the weeds and leaving uneven footprints in the mud.
With no one around, Erica tried to find some other roads nearby.
