After Auckland entered the examination room, an electronic voice prompted, "Please choose the correct answer based on the question displayed on the screen."
Then, the corresponding questions appeared on Auckland's light screen. The content was all basic and related to heraldry. He knew most of them and quickly passed the first test with a score of 85.
The people waiting for the results outside stared at the huge display screen and saw that people's names kept turning black, indicating that they had failed the assessment.
Lancelot's name suddenly appeared at the top, followed by a number, a bright red 85, which meant that he had passed the first test with a high score.
Wood and Mark looked at the time in disbelief. It wasn't even ten minutes yet!
Never mind... maybe he just has a good memory, it's just a high score on the theory test...
The next step was to create three emblems with different attributes. A workbench rose from the ground in front of Auckland, and on the table were a magic crystal pen and three energy plates.
Anyway, as long as he could reach level C, he would be able to pass the level. Oakland felt that there was no need to spend more effort to use runes to make special emblems. It just so happened that he had already practiced three types of magic runes, so he could use these three types of magic runes to make three emblems.
Unsurprisingly, Oakland spent an hour and a half to successfully create three enhanced emblems, one for enhancing strength, one for defense, and one for speed.
Three testers rose in the center of the workbench. Auckland placed the three emblems in them and soon got the test results.
Unsurprisingly, Auckland passed the Junior Heraldry Qualification Certification Assessment with excellent scores of two Bs and one A.
When the bright red word "Passed" appeared behind Lancelot's name, everyone in the guild hall was stunned. How long had he been in there? Less than two hours, and he had already passed?
A rare smile appeared on Hall's face, and Dragal was even more delighted, looking proudly in the direction of Wood and Mark.
There was no trace of smile on Wood's face anymore, and Mark also showed a solemn expression. They all realized that the seemingly young boy was not as simple as he seemed.
But Wood still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. Maybe the boy was just a relatively outstanding seedling who could make some C-level emblems, but it did not mean that he would definitely be better than himself. He still had hope of winning.
When Auckland came out from his companions, Aaron greeted him with a smile, "Congratulations, Mr. Lancelot, on obtaining the junior heraldry master qualification."
"Thank you." Auckland saw a certification mark appeared behind his personal information panel. If he clicked it, he could see the certification information of the junior heraldry master and a registration number.
"Now, Mr. Lancelot and Mr. Wood can start the duel." Both parties have certified heraldry qualifications, so they can use the guild's dedicated heraldry arena.
Aaron led them to a portal on the left side of the guild, which led directly to a virtual space. This virtual space was specially designed as a venue for heralds to compete. The marble steps were decorated with patterns and carvings, making the entire arena look extremely solemn and majestic.
The entire arena was oval in shape, with audience seats surrounding it and the center serving as the arena for the two heraldry masters to compete. The participating heraldry masters would stand on either side of the arena, a full fifty meters apart, to prevent interference.
On either side stood a spacious, identical workbench, complete with magic crystal pens and energy plates. The audience seating was actually quite far from the central arena, but they could adjust their viewing distance via a light screen, allowing them to observe the production process up close and clearly. However, they were unable to activate the video or camera functions.
No one knew who leaked the news of the fight between Wood and Auckland, but people kept being teleported to the Heraldry Guild and, with the help of the reception staff, entered the auditorium. Gradually, there were already hundreds of people sitting there.
The two contestants in the center of the field knew nothing about this. They could not see what was happening in the audience seats, nor could they hear any sound that would disturb their emblem making.
Oakland felt that he didn't need to use runes; the basic magic patterns alone would be enough to completely defeat Wood. However, if he used the runes to create a special emblem, he could solve all the problems once and for all, proving his identity and strength while also leaving Wood unable to quibble.
After Aaron said start, both sides picked up the magic crystal pen at the same time and leaned over to carve on the energy board.
Auckland secretly practiced his skills and quietly made a few hand gestures with the smallest amplitude, making people think that he was just making a few strange gestures like praying.
With the experience from the previous times, Auckland was able to draw the runes very smoothly this time. He carefully controlled his spiritual consciousness, and worked slowly and steadily, stroke by stroke.
Compared to the smooth production process in Auckland, Wood seemed a little impatient for quick success. He almost scrapped the first energy board at the very beginning. His hands trembled unnaturally due to nervousness, which affected the lines of the pattern he drew. Although he drew quickly, there were problems with the frame structure and energy flow. In the end, he had to change an energy board and start drawing again.
In the end, Wood was the first to finish. He held a palm-sized silver emblem in his hand and looked at Auckland who was still slowly drawing the emblem in the distance, feeling a little secretly happy.
Just as the master in the family said, as long as we pay attention to the key patterns he pointed out, and refine and round them, we can improve the quality of the emblem.
Despite a bad start, he learned from his first failed attempt at creating a herald, quickly calmed his mind, and successfully completed the magic rune he had memorized. He was certain that the herald he created this time would be at least Grade B! And with such a significant time advantage over that person, victory was definitely his!
Delagar was also worried about Oakland. He didn't understand heraldry or how to read magic patterns. He only knew that Oakland was incredibly slow. He could have drawn a straight line in one stroke, but Oakland insisted on slowly moving the pen tip to complete it, bit by bit. Although Oakland's drawings looked much more beautiful and gorgeous than Wood's, he was simply too slow. Even if slow work produced fine results, he wouldn't be so slow, right?
Hall, on the other hand, sat there calmly, his screen fixed only on Auckland from beginning to end. Auckland was indeed drawing very slowly, but the pattern he drew was the most complex and incomprehensible one he had ever seen, and was somewhat similar to the patterns on the two coats of arms he had bought before.
Hall looked at the extra lines on the side of the emblem extending from the center, and he roughly guessed what Auckland was thinking.
What Auckland is making must be – special heraldry.
Finally, when Auckland finished carving, the emblem was gradually covered by a layer of light blue light, the runes took shape, and the emblem was successfully made.
It was a metal emblem of the same palm size, but it was not entirely metallic in color. It also had a strange blue hue. Both sides of the emblem had mysterious and ancient patterns, which looked particularly gorgeous and exquisite.
"Both sides have been completed. The evaluation will begin now. Please come to the center of the venue." Aaron and a middle-aged herald master wearing a long white coat and a golden badge on his chest were already standing in the center of the venue with energy testers in their hands. This middle-aged herald master was Aaron's master, Herald Master Jared Brown.
Jared came to notarize the result of the duel after receiving the news. He did not see Auckland making the coat of arms. He only knew that Auckland was a young newcomer who had just passed the junior heraldry qualification certification, and that he was very slow in making coats of arms. He felt that making coats of arms required not only talent but also experience, so he was not optimistic about Auckland.
The first thing Jared tested was the power-enhancing emblem made by Wood. The number displayed on the energy tester was 42383GJ. The energy level had reached B+ level, and the enhancement attribute had also reached 36%. It can be said to be a very good quality emblem.
Jared couldn't help but nod slightly. In his opinion, the best level of a junior herald master was probably Wood's level.
Then, he casually took the Auckland emblem and put it into the energy tester. He noticed the ancient and complex pattern on the surface and was slightly surprised. Before he could get closer to take a closer look, he saw the numbers on the display screen of the energy tester began to jump wildly, and the final value displayed was 90112GJ.
This number is almost twice the energy contained in the B+ grade emblem that Wood had previously made. The energy level has reached A+ level, which is very close to S level!
Everyone in the audience widened their eyes in shock, hardly able to believe what they saw.
When Jared pressed the start button of the test properties with shaking hands, he saw the value on the scale bar at the bottom of the tester began to rise rapidly, and finally stopped at 485%, and a small wave icon appeared.
"Hidden attributes! It's a hidden attribute! That's a special emblem!" Someone in the audience shouted first.
When Mark heard this, he was shocked and incredulous at first, and then he stared at Wood with a resentful look as if he wanted to pull out his cramps and skin him alive.
Wood also felt dizzy.
It’s actually true…
He actually is... that mysterious heraldry master...
He closed his eyes in despair. Everything was over.
If he had known earlier...if he had known this would happen...he would never have done this...
However, money can't buy foresight. The defense enhancement attribute is almost comparable to that of S-level, and it also comes with a crest with hidden attributes. It has proved Oakland's strength and torn off Wood's false mask.
