Although he has an inspiration panel, without the accumulation of basic knowledge, it is like a skilled cook without rice.

Therefore, for him, it is not necessary to be proficient in a certain knowledge, but he cannot be completely ignorant of it. Otherwise, even the inspiration panel will be useless.

Thanks to practicing the Rodrigo meditation method at the mastery level every day, Richard's physical fitness was successfully upgraded to the knight level half a month ago.

[Attributes]: Strength 4.4, Agility 4.6, Constitution 4.3, Spirit 8.9 Tomorrow is the school's semi-annual assessment for this batch of freshmen, and the location is arranged at the school's duel arena! The next morning, the school's duel arena was crowded with people, and all the freshmen stood neatly in a square formation, waiting for the arrival of the assessment leader.

I saw a black-robed wizard leading four grey-robed apprentices on foot into the venue. Under the powerful aura of the official wizard, the originally noisy square formation suddenly fell silent!

The black-robed wizard is an old man with gray hair, but his aristocratic temperament is like mellow red wine, which lasts forever.

A gray-robed apprentice beside him with three bone sticks crossed on his chest asked the black-robed wizard softly.

After getting the black-robed wizard's approval, he used a loudspeaker to shout, "The Ignis School's semi-annual assessment for freshmen begins now! The person in charge of the assessment today is Professor Ivan, a first-level wizard with the title of "Skeleton Manipulator" in the school."

All of a sudden, the freshmen in the audience burst into warm applause in unison! This made the black-robed wizard Ivan, who had originally had a serious face, smile.

When the applause gradually died down, the third-level wizard apprentice continued, "First of all, according to the points list, there are three people who failed to obtain 30 points. Now please leave on your own initiative!"

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the audience! Many students started whispering.

"Hiss! There are people who haven't finished yet. They will be expelled from school!"

"It's over, it's over. I know someone named Emmaline. She's from a civilian background and has zero combat experience. Basically no one wants to team up with her!" A student gossiped and mentioned a name.

"I heard about that, too. It seems that he was afraid to fight monsters and wanted to gain points by participating in pharmacy experiments, but he failed in the end." A student said in a mocking tone.

“.”

Under the gazes of the freshmen, three of them blushed. One of the girls couldn't stand the pressure and burst into tears. She was dragged out by the second-level wizard apprentice who was in charge of order.

Seeing the three people being taken away directly, many freshmen present felt a bit sad.

After all, most of them were just boys and girls of thirteen or fourteen years old, especially those children of civilians. They had never been exposed to combat training before coming to the school. This time, they completed the school's assessment requirement of thirty points with great difficulty.

Unlike those noble heirs, who have received intensive knight training since childhood, and some have even undergone actual combat training, in comparison, as long as they are a little familiar with the characteristics of monsters and are a little more careful, they can complete related tasks more easily.

At this time, Professor Ivan, a first-level wizard with the title of "Skeleton Manipulator", began to speak. After only two sentences, the somewhat sad atmosphere in the audience was completely washed away!

".The first place winner of this freshman ranking competition will be rewarded with the intermediate witchcraft item Banshee's Finger! The second place winner will be rewarded with the Shadow Power Potion! The third place winner will be rewarded with the Wisdom Potion!

The fourth place winner will receive a reward of fifty magic stones! "

Starting from the fourth place, the rewards will decrease sharply and become simple magic stone rewards!

"Wow! The first place prize, did I hear it right, is an intermediate witchcraft item?"

"Hey, if you got it, let me touch it, just touch it!"

"What are you two dreaming about, are you two?" someone nearby sneered.

"This... This reward is too generous. You know, the reward for the second place, the Shadow Power Potion, is priced at 200 magic stones in the trading area!"

"Hey, have you ever asked the seniors if their rewards were so generous back then?"

The generous rewards from the school completely ignited the fighting enthusiasm of more than a hundred freshmen! Richard was no exception. Not to mention the first place reward, he also coveted the second place reward, the Shadow Power Potion! And judging from the name of this witchcraft item, it is most likely a dark witchcraft item, but he didn't know what the specific effect is! While thinking, he accidentally saw William in the crowd and found that the third prince of the Heron Kingdom looked normal.

I couldn't help but think to myself, "That's right. He's a member of the royal family. He must have seen all kinds of treasures. It's probably not going to interest him much if it's just a witchcraft prop!"

At this time, a third-level wizard apprentice shouted loudly: "The first round of the qualifying competition will begin now. The rules are as follows:

Try to defeat the Skeleton Warriors summoned by Professor Ivan within one minute. Those who succeed will receive good reviews and advance to the second round.

Those who exceed the time limit or are defeated by the Skeleton Warriors will be considered eliminated!

During the challenge, no potions, witchcraft props, alchemical products, or contracted creatures may be used. "

After the rules were introduced, the black-robed wizard Ivan began to perform the skeleton summoning spell. He gently pointed the crystal staff in his hand, and a huge inverted pentagram magic circle instantly appeared in the center of the square.

After a flash of green light, ten skeleton warriors appeared in the magic circle at the same time.

These skeleton warriors, all fully armored and holding two-handed swords, looked majestic! Especially the green soul fire jumping in the empty eye sockets, full of a sense of indifference to death, one can tell at a glance that they are not so easy to deal with! There was a commotion in the audience. Many freshmen had never seen a formal wizard take action, and now they were stunned by Professor Ivan's move! "Fuck, it's awesome! Instant Skeleton Summoning!"

"Amazing! Summoning ten skeleton warriors at once? What level of witchcraft mastery does this require!"

"This subverts my understanding. I heard that to summon skeletons, one needs to use one's own blood essence to mix the void ink, and then draw an inverted pentagram magic circle. The whole process is very complicated, right? Professor Ivan can do it instantly? I'm dizzy!" A freshman who seemed to have some research on summoning skeletons asked doubtfully.

"I've thought it through. I want to learn the Undead Summoning Technique, too! This is so cool!"

Richard was fine, after all, he had seen Celes's Skeleton Horse Summoning Technique before, so his psychological acceptance was much higher than that of ordinary freshmen! However, he was also shocked by the power of the witchcraft of the formal wizard!

The study in the past two months made him know very clearly that a second-level wizard apprentice can learn zero-level witchcraft to summon skeletons, which is completely different from the trick to control skeletons! The former requires drawing the reverse pentagram array and consuming more than ten points of mental power to communicate with the undead world and summon skeleton soldiers to cross the border and have the ability to fight on their own! The latter is just a puppet that needs to be continuously controlled by mental power. No matter how smart the control is, it is just a dead object! Moreover, in order to reduce the difficulty of summoning, quite a few second-level wizard apprentices use a small amount of blood essence mixed with the ethereal ink and then draw the array. It is said that this can increase the success rate of casting by about 30%! But Professor Ivan in front of him actually used instant summoning, and it was ten skeleton warriors at a time, which made Richard exclaimed that it was amazing!

This is the last update on Tuesday. Please help click to the last page. This is related to whether this book can enter the next round! Thank you!

Starting tomorrow, I will resume my normal rhythm of updating twice a day. If I am lucky enough to make it into the next round of recommendations, I will choose the opportunity to burst out. Thank you again for your concern and support!
