psychologically, there was a glowing demon who looked exactly the same.But appearance is not the most important thing.But that aura, that faint smile, even if he disguised himself as a human, she woul...Chapter 15: Taliya's Self-Doubt

The carriage unwittingly drove into the bustling commercial district, passing by various restaurants, cafes, bars, and specialty shops. The wide streets were increasingly filled with the lively atmosphere of people coming and going.

From ancient classic architecture like the Ikereth Central Station and St. Brien Cathedral to modern magical glass curtain wall buildings like Hutton Walk Plaza and Ereka Tower, architectural styles are diverse and harmonious, adding color to Ikereth's skyline.

It was approaching the afternoon.

The sightseeing carriage arrived near the academy.

Legend has it that the fabled Ictereth School of Magic is located in the heart of the capital city.

The academy doesn't have walls, it's just that this area, and all the buildings within it, are called the Icteris School of Magic.

Lance carried his suitcase and walked into the schoolyard with Talia.

Before he had taken a few steps, Lance was greeted as if by a melodious chime.

That was the chime of the clock tower, a landmark building in the town. It rang only three times before stopping abruptly, indicating that it was three o'clock in the afternoon.

The clock tower stood proudly in the center of the vast lawn, surrounded by lush greenery. Sunlight filtered through the dense canopy of leaves, casting dappled patterns on the emerald grass.

He and Talya walked along the map on the sign, passing through a variety of buildings.

It houses the Gothic-style Grand Masters' Library, an ancient tower with intricate carvings on its exterior. Within, countless mysterious volumes are said to be held within its depths.

There is also a Victorian-style knight's court arena, with pointed arch windows full of classical charm.

And there are also novel chain-linked biological laboratories and magical engineering institutes. On walls composed of magic screens, the blue of the sky and the shadows of surrounding green trees are reflected.

After a ten-minute walk.

Lance arrived at his destination.

A grand building with a flowing design and a unique appearance, the "Learning and Education Building" shared by the Knights' Academy and the Sages' Academy.

Lancy and Talia arrived at the second floor, the student service center.

With the help of friendly staff, Lanchi quickly finished modifying her exam information, changing her application school from Lianjin Institute to Wise Academy.

Next, to complete the registration for the Sage Academy entrance exam, he still needs to go to the third floor of the building to take a property test.

He was carrying a small suitcase in his left hand.

He is holding an application form and personal information data in his right hand.

Lan Qi wandered around and finally found the basic attribute measurement room located on the third floor.

In the spacious office, a variety of measuring magical instruments were neatly arranged, giving off more of a radiotherapy room feel than that of a magic academy.

Students who wish to take the Knight Academy and Sage Academy entrance exams generally complete the required attribute tests well in advance. As Lance was a late applicant, he missed that timing, and two days before the exam, there were no other students waiting in line.

The teacher sitting behind his desk quickly turned his gaze upon the two visitors.

"Didn't expect there would be such a capable new student this year... Seems the Academy of Sages has found a real gem."

The teacher in charge of testing properties in the office gave off a very gentle vibe. When she first saw Talia, a look of joy and kindness lit up her face.

Just the steady, reserved, and unfathomable magic emanating from Talia left her in awe.

It wasn't me who took the exam, it was him.

Taliya said softly.

"Hmm"

Originally, this person carrying the suitcase was the young master

Behind her desk, the teacher, whose nameplate read "Teresa," hurried to look at Lance.

"That's right."

When the teacher finally turned her surprised gaze upon him, Lance awkwardly smiled.

Talya, being a vagabond, hardly has any luggage.

He stood with a box in one hand and a report in the other, beside Talia, who looked like a human girl. With Talia's icy aura, it was almost as if they were characters from "Miss and I".

"Ahem."

Sister Teresa coughed twice, also quite embarrassed.

It would lead her to misunderstand in this way, and it's more than just a visual error. As mages, they rely more on their perception and judgment of magic than their eyes.

However, Lancy's pitiful magical fluctuations made it hard to see much hope of her becoming a skilled magic practitioner.

Even without professional testing equipment, as a seasoned teacher she could tell that Lance's magic attribute was weak, but his mental fortitude seemed powerful enough.

Maybe he'd be more suited to... being a priest

After all, many of the divine priest's auxiliary spells are not tied to magical intensity but to mental fortitude.

But to become a cleric, the renowned Sacred Theology Academy or Divine Craftsmanship College on the South Continent would be more suitable for his talents than the Icerith Magic Academy.

However, since the other party has already come, she certainly couldn't say anything discouraging to the students.

And her work at this moment was to help Lance complete the attribute test.

If the comprehensive calculation of the test results meets the target, then formal examination procedures will be arranged for him.

They soon conducted and completed the test.

Lance, besides having extremely high mental and physical growth potential, has no talent for magic or strength.

Although the mental attribute is not as heavily weighted in the evaluation of magical professions at the Wise Academy as the magical attribute, Lance's exceptionally high single-item mental attribute still exceeded the passing line by a considerable margin after the weighted calculation.

So Mother Teresa began the process of arranging his follow-up evaluation.

Lance was passing the time by looking at his aptitude test results, waiting for Teacher Theresa to finish processing them.

In this world's simplest "four-dimensional test"—

Magic properties affect most spells' damage, healing amount, and bonus effects.

Strength attributes and physical attack power are directly related.

And spirit influences the maximum mana and magic resistance.

Stamina is the integration of vitality, endurance, and physical defense.

"Hi, what is your profession"

Teressa was inputting Ranch's specific test results onto the flat, magical device. However, when she reached the "Abilities" column, she looked up at Ranch and asked.

Ranch has excellent survivability, but lacks offensive capabilities.

According to her guess, Lanci should not be an overly aggressive profession, she thinks it would be more supportive and logistical.

Although Talia remained silent, she paid a little more attention to Lance's upcoming answer.

Because she really didn't know the answer.

It's unclear how Lanche will respond.

Neither a crazy sorcerer nor a cultist priest seems quite right.

Anyway, she couldn't think of a suitable word to describe the system those cards on Ranch now formed.

"Obviously, I am a white mage."

Lance said with a warm smile.

Talya, who was standing nearby, twitched her eye involuntarily upon hearing this.

This guy is really bold!

If she hadn't traveled the human world for so many years, she would have first suspected her own language comprehension was wrong rather than suspecting something was wrong with Lance.

What's most unbelievable is that Talia didn't even realize Lanche was lying.

He truly believed he was a white mage.

Mother Teresa nodded understandingly upon hearing this.

"So that's how it is...Actually, I'm also a healing mage. If you get into the Sage's Academy, maybe we'll see each other in class again someday."

Such a sunny and cheerful young man, he certainly looks like a healer with a kind heart.

Mother Teresa smiled and handed the wristband with the pre-recorded information to Lance.

Although his healing amount and auxiliary effects might be low, his mental attribute is linked to magical power, allowing him to continuously use spells. Therefore, his stamina should be sufficient.

Most importantly, compared to other professions, therapists need a kind and compassionate heart.

"Two days later, for the formal exam, you can participate in the practical simulation on the seventh floor with this bracelet. Although the exam will be difficult, may the goddess of fate bless you, and I wish you good luck."

Sister Teresa, sitting at the long table with one hand supporting her chin, a smile playing on her face, added.

She believes that all gentle people will be treated with gentleness.

Even if this young man were to stand out, his chances of passing the assessment are slim.

Okay, thank you.

Lance nodded in greeting.

Then, they left the building together, Talia's eyes filled with confusion.
