Chapter 559 Pa.s.sing Exam
Both Intermediate Wizard Calder and Intermediate Wizard Boris were permanent wizards in Miracle City. Unlike those beginner wizards who came here to join the battle of the orcs mission, they were the actual base for the Miracle City fighting power alongside the Miracle spirit.Their red cloak represented their authority, and today Wizard Calder and Wizard Boris were on duty. There was no way anyone would expect something like this to happen, and they couldn’t believe what they saw.
“Wizard K3516 is a head commander as well?” Wizard Calder asked while Wizard Boris stared at Abel. Abel needed to be watched before they could figure out what had really happened.
“No, I don’t know!” Said Drillmaster Cooper full of confusion.
“Drillmaster Cooper, please answer my question properly. How did wizard k3516 kill Drillmaster Layard?” Said Wizard Calder doubling down on his tone.
Drillmaster Cooper really didn’t know how to reply. He just couldn’t understand what had happened. If Abel had used combat qi, or the skill of a head commander, or even a powerful spell within the magic suppression circle, he would have definitely felt it.
What had happened was just too hard to explain. How could a head commander get kill with 3 sword strikes from an intermediate wizard? Especially without combat qi.
“Wizard Calder, k3516 used his light long sword and killed Drillmaster Layard, he didn’t use combat qi or any spells!” Said Drillmaster Cooper with a soft, helpless voice.
“Drillmaster Cooper, are you joking with me? We are doing some serious investigation here; please answer me probably!” Wizard Calder raised his voice.
“Wizard Calder, you can ask those 15 wizards there. Also, Layard’s military card recorded the whole examination. Even though the magic suppression circle might have affected it, you might still be able to see it. I’m a head commander, and I promise every word I said was true!” Said Drillmaster Cooper pointed at those wizards in the stadium. They still hadn’t fully recovered from what they just saw.
At that moment, Abel was about to step out of the magic suppression circle, but he suddenly heard Wizard Boris say, “Wizard k3516, please wait in the magic suppression circle before we have our results!”
Abel irritatedly stopped his steps and replied with a low voice, “I need Miracle City to give me an explanation. How could a head commander attack me in a magic suppression circle!”
“Wizard k3516, please calm down. We will soon have your results!” Said Wizard Boris pointing at Abel.
At that moment, Wizard Calder had got some data about Abel back from the Miracle Spirit through his military card. Of course, the spirit would not expose a Wizard’s ident.i.ty without asking–especially when they had not even confirmed that Abel had done anything wrong.
These data made Wizard Calder understand. Abel must have a powerful background. No ordinary person could make the Miracle Spirit change its rule and let a wizard join the training half way.
The following data about Drillmaster Layard was shocking as well. Drillmaster Layard didn’t have much remaining war glory points, it was weird, it was unlike any head commander who had served Miracle City for 30 years. Seemed like he had traded some resource with it.
Looking at the footage of the examination, it was Drillmaster Layard’s decision to proceed with the examination in the magic suppression circle, and he had used some extraordinary method to achieve it.
Maybe Drillmaster Layard had recognized Wizard k3516, and he wanted to kill him by getting him to step in the magic suppression circle.
But it seemed like Drillmaster Layard had miscalculated something and failed in his murder. Instead, he got himself killed.
“Miracle Spirit. Please a.n.a.lyze the data between k3516 and Drillmaster Layard!” Wizard Calder had reported his own a.n.a.lysis to the Miracle Spirit through his military card. He did not have the authority to be the judge. The only judge in Miracle City was the spirit.
“Layard had abused his authority for his own revenge. K3516 had only defended himself. K3516 had killed a head commander, 5 war glory points will be given as a reward. Since the problem had occurred with the examiner of this examination, this examination will not count. Please wait for a new examiner. K3516 will automatically pa.s.s the exam!” A robotic voice emerged from Everyone’s military card.
Afterward, the magic suppression circle surrounding Abel began to disappear, and it’s parts teleported away in white lights.
“Amazing, we can do the test again!” K3503 was the first Wizard that got kicked out, so by that point, nothing was better than going to the exam again.
If he had really just gone back to his wizard circle just like that, this experience might become one of the biggest traumas of his life, and it could deeply impact his training in the future.
Other wizards were also screaming in excitement. Although they were official wizards, most of them were just around rank 6. Wizards like these had always trained very hard, and they would rarely connect with the common world. Therefore, most of them were very pure of heart. They did not have the shrewdness of an old wizard.
Of course, all of them did not have much to say about Abel directly pa.s.sing the examination anyway. If a wizard who could kill a head commander with a light sword could not pa.s.s the examination, then there was no way they could.
“Congratulations, Wizard 3516. Your military card now has the ability to directly contact the Miracle Spirit if you have any questions!” Wizard Calder said and bowed to Abel.
There was no way he could not show respect to Abel. A wizard who could kill a head commander so easily. Although they didn’t know how he did it, what Abel did was a fact. They could not deny it.
“Thanks!” Abel bowed back and looked towards the happy wizards on the stadium. However, when the intermediate wizards also looked at them, they stopped laughing and quickly bowed. Even K3515, who was quite close to Abel bowed at the wizards and left.
At that moment, Wizard Boris walked next to Wizard Calder and said gently, “Calder, come look at Layard’s wounds!”
Intermediate wizards at Miracle City would not be unfamiliar with dead bodies. They fought countless battles and saw countless friends and enemies die before them. However, Drillmaster Layard still managed to catch their interest.
There were 3 wounds on his body. They could make sense of that stab to his heart. Any knight with a little bit of official training about human bone structure and organs could make sense of it.
However, those 2 wise wizards just couldn’t understand those 2 cuts. Wizard Calder said to Drillmaster Cooper from the side and said, “Drillmaster Cooper, look at those wounds!”
Drillmaster Cooper quickly walked towards the body. He was not a wizard; He could use his power of will to examine wounds. After a close examination, his jaw dropped and said, “this is too scary!”
By that point, he realized why Layard had used up his energy so quickly. These 2 cuts had basically drained all the blood from his body. Actually, the last stab wouldn’t even matter; it was just a matter of dying sooner or later.
“Drillmaster Cooper, you are a head commander. Can you make 2 cuts like these?” Wizard Calder was not a knight, so Drillmaster Cooper was a better candidate to ask.
“Wizard Calder. I might not be able to make a precise cut to a grand vessel like this, even if a person was standing still in front of me!” Said Drillmaster Cooper with a forceful smile.
Although knights had practiced sword control ever since they were young, most of the time, they would still focus on striking or defense techniques. When it came to making precise cuts like this, maybe an experienced butcher might be even better.
There was no way Layard had stood still and just let Abel cut him, so this cut was extremely hard to make. Even Drillmaster Cooper shook his head.
“It seems like an extraordinary figure had come to Miracle City. Which wizard could it be?” Wizard Calder was a little hesitant. He didn’t even know if he should address this person as a wizard.
Wizard Calder would definitely not believe it if there wasn’t a Wizard energy coming out of Abel. If a wizard could make a cut like this, knights and warriors were basically useless.
