Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Mike took a step and easily completed the climb.

As for Seigne, he gritted his teeth and took the last step with great difficulty.

“I… Finally… successfully reached the top?”

With that, Seigne fell heavily to the ground.

Mike quickly went forward to help him up.

At this time, a clear voice said to Mike.

“I saw you drag this trash for almost the entire second half of the journey. You were really carrying a heavy load. Hahahaha!”

Mike turned his head to see that the person who had spoken was the blue-haired girl with twin ponytails.

Mike merely glanced at her, then continued to turn his head to pull Seigne.

Seeing that Mike had ignored her, the blue-haired girl with twin ponytails did not continue to ask for trouble.

“Alright, Zelli, stop talking!”

The person who had said this was the red-haired youth.

“Jasco, I think that you wanted to reach the top more than anyone else! Well, now that you’ve got what you wanted, stop pretending to be a good person!”

Jasco ignored Zelli and quietly waited for the last few people to reach the top.

Finally, the last person reached the top.

There were only twelve people left.

From the initial hundred people to the current twelve people, such a strict elimination rate also made Mike more curious about this Adventurer’s Academy.

Just then, a person who looked like a teacher walked out from the ancient building behind the stone tablet.

That person said to the remaining twelve people.

“Congratulations on passing the first round of the Adventurer’s Academy’s Test. I am the examiner for the second round of the test. I’m sure you have noticed this huge stone tablet while you were at the foot of the mountain!”

Everyone looked at the stone tablet.

Mike scrutinized the stone tablet carefully.

He found that the size of this stone tablet was actually a few heads higher than the Demon King Beast he had encountered before.

“Don’t worry, everyone. The second round of the test is very simple.”

“This round of the test is called the aptitude test. Those who pass the test can follow me to the Yogmo Academy’s freshmen service office to go through the enrollment procedures.”

“Now, everyone, line up according to the order in which you reached the top and place your hands on the stone tablet.”

Jasco was the first to try.

He placed his hands on the stone tablet, and a yellow light suddenly burst out of the stone tablet.

The words on the stone tablet twisted and moved, and finally stopped after a moment.

Mike looked at the words on the stone tablet and said.

“Jasco, Gold-Level Assassin, upper high-level, assigned to the Physical Close-Combat Assassin Class!”

Then it was Zelli.

“Zelli, Gold-Level Mage, upper high-level, assigned to the Long-Range Mage Class!”

After a short wait, it was finally Mike’s turn.

At the moment, Mike was a little nervous. He stretched his right hand out and placed it on the stone tablet.

The moment his palm touched the stone tablet.

An extremely strong golden light exploded onto the entire stone tablet.

The speed at which the words on the stone tablet distorted was much faster than before.

Only this time, the words did not seem to have any intention of stopping.

Finally, after a long wait, the words finally stopped moving.

“Mike, unable to detect… unable to detect… entering the Long-Range Magic Mage Class!”

After seeing Mike’s result, Zelli complained to the examiner unhappily.

“Teacher, why can’t this guy’s quality be detected?”

The examiner did not pay attention to Zelli’s question and only replied indifferently.

“Everything is decided by the school. There is naturally a reason for this result.”

Mike put his hand down and walked to the side silently.

Now, it was Seigne’s turn to conduct the stone tablet test.

Seigne raised his hands and closed his eyes.

He seemed to have already predicted his result, so his body was trembling slightly.

A white light flashed.

“Seigne, Muggle, low-level, assigned to the Political Class of the Cultural Department!”

Seeing the result, Seigne was both happy and sad.

That was because everyone had seen his muggle characteristics.

Zelli had even bent over from laughing.

“It’s okay, Seigne. Don’t bother about what the others think. At least the result is good, isn’t it?”

Mike comforted Seigne.

Seigne simply nodded his head and looked into the distance.

After the stone tablet test of the last person was over, the tester led the people who had completed the test to the new student service office to go through the enrollment procedures.

They walked into the ancient building.

Only then did Mike realize that this ancient building was actually a place that was similar to an exhibition hall.

The history of the Adventurer’s Academy was engraved all over the wall.

Mike looked at the words on the wall. At this moment, in his mind, that familiar feeling rose once again.

Passing through this ancient building, Mike and the rest of the group came to a cliff.

The tester said to everyone, “Everyone, don’t be afraid. What you see here is just the magic barrier that we have set up here.”

“I believe that everyone has already guessed the function of this barrier, and that is the camouflage method.”

“Next, everyone, please take this step bravely. Behind that cliff, is the complete picture of our Adventurer’s Academy.”

As soon as the tester had finished speaking, Zelli could not wait to jump towards the cliff.

Just as her body touched the air, a barrier that was like a horizontal surface appeared.

Soon, Zelli had disappeared into it.

Then, it was Jasco’s turn. Everyone jumped into the barrier one by one.

When it was Mike’s turn, he was not as nervous as the others.

Mike looked at Seigne.

“Why don’t you jump first? I’ll watch you from behind!”

Mike had already noticed Seigne’s nervousness.

Seigne took a deep breath.

With his eyes closed, he jumped into the barrier.

Then, it was Mike’s turn.

He merely tiptoed, enabling his whole body to cross the barrier very easily.

Once Mike crossed the barrier, he saw the whole picture of the Adventurer’s Academy.

The whole view of the Adventurer’s Academy behind the barrier could be compared to the prosperity of the Royal City of Romon.

Countless tall buildings hovered in the sky.

The crowd was bustling.

Everything here gave Mike an experience that he had never experienced before.

As the tester was leading the way, Mike also noticed an arena that had been built in the open space.

In the arena, a pair of mage students were competing against each other.

Below the arena, there were countless students who were cheering and shouting.

“This is the traditional program of our Adventurer’s Academy, free combat. Through free combat, you can also accumulate credits. These credits can be used to exchange for many things.”

The tester said to Mike.

Mike nodded and continued to walk forward.

In front of him was a huge circular building.

Mike thought to himself, this should be the New Students’ Service Center.

Because the Adventurer’s Academy was constantly adding new students, even a small New Students’ Service Center was built in a particularly imposing manner.

Walking into the interior of the circular building.

The magnificent hall was displayed in front of everyone.

“Fendi, I’ll just take these little guys to go through the enrollment procedures.”
