The Bizarre Wizarding World-Chapter 778 - 467: For the Wizard (5.6k)

Golden Paper’s words had just finished and all the wizards were slightly startled.

They hadn’t expected that halfway through the training, an assessment would be conducted, and furthermore, the last one would be directly eliminated.

"The assessment will take place after today’s training has ended, now let’s continue with the training," Golden Paper continued, stretching out a hand to touch the crystal and initiating today’s training.

Colin leaned slightly on the wooden chair, his gaze flickering.

With his days and nights of relentless effort, most of the research on Divine Power in the frontline library had been perused by him.

Naturally, the gains were substantial, and he already had some thoughts about the path ahead in his heart.

It was just that after the Red Light Breathing Method on the Golden Paper, no symbols had appeared that could be advanced.

This meant that his thoughts were still not mature enough.

However, the remaining research on Divine Power in the frontline library would only take about two days to finish reading.

By then, his current thoughts would certainly be more refined than now.

It was just uncertain whether this would be enough to break through the shackles that he currently faced.

After pondering for a moment, Colin still focused his mind and listened attentively to Mill’s lecture.

If he still could not break through by then, he either had to seek out Divine Blood or find more knowledge about Divine Power.

So, he couldn’t easily give up on this task at the moment.

Colin knew that this task was bound to be dangerous.

But for a Third Rank Wizard, obtaining the precious Divine Blood was never an easy task.

If he wanted to earn enough merits to exchange for Divine Blood through normal warfare, the difficulty would certainly not be lower than undertaking this mission, and it was highly likely that it would take more time and energy.

As for the dangers, the two could only be considered equally matched.

Going to the frontline and charging towards the Divine for merits was a bit more dangerous, or opting for this mission and infiltrating behind the Divine was a little more dangerous...

Because of the current limitation of information, Colin couldn’t make an accurate judgment.

So, his best option was obviously to prepare for both, and then make a decision during the next final assessment.

...

Perhaps because of the assessment, tonight’s training ended half an hour earlier than usual.

Mill stood on the stage and said calmly, "Next, I will be waiting in the adjacent room.

You can come in one by one in the order of your seats, from left to right."

After speaking, she turned and walked directly to the room next door.

Mill had not clarified whether it was her left or their left.

If it was her left, then O’Keefe would be the first one.

But if it was from their left, then Ryden would be the first one to be assessed.

O’Keefe hesitated.

"I’ll go first, after all, regardless of the order, we all have to be assessed."

Ryden suddenly stood up and said in a clear voice, and then he strode towards the adjacent room.

His point was indeed valid, but those who were later still had more time to prepare.

Although Colin also felt that such a slight advantage was unnecessary, the other wizards clearly didn’t think the same way.

O’Keefe seemed to breathe a sigh of relief as Ryden chose to be the first to be assessed.

Yeats, in contrast, grew slightly tense.

As for Jacqueline and Lance, there was not much emotion on their faces.

Colin was the same, but his heart suddenly gave rise to a bit of curiosity.

Just as he had thought before, this training, as well as the assessment, were actually filtering those who would participate in the important mission, not to gain any benefits.

Of course, after completing the task, they could indeed receive a substantial reward.

This was something that Mill had also emphasized during the recent training.

But even so, for most wizards, they probably wouldn’t choose to participate in this mission.

Colin couldn’t help but be curious, why were these wizards around him participating in this mission?

He didn’t hide his curiosity, paused for a moment, and then spoke up,

"I’m suddenly curious, what is everyone’s reason for joining this mission?"

"Because I want to take part in this mission," Jacqueline was intently studying the content taught by Mill tonight, but responded without thinking after hearing Colin’s question.

After a moment, as though feeling that her response was too dismissive, she added in a serious tone, "Golden Paper previously told me that if the mission succeeds, it could deal immense damage to the Divine, so I came."

Jacqueline’s tone was flat, yet Colin distinctly heard a deep-seated hatred in her voice.

"My reason is similar to Lady Jacqueline," Yeats echoed, his eyes downturned.

Colin remained silent; both Jacqueline and Yeats had lost family and friends at the hands of the Divine.

"I was chosen," Lance scratched his head and said, "Golden Paper told me there was an important task that needed to be undertaken, but they were short on hands, asking if I was willing... Thinking it would benefit the wizards, I came."

"Short on hands?" Colin was slightly taken aback.

"Yes, Lord Colin, you may be unaware, but the conditions required for wizards to participate in this training are not low.

Moreover, the Southern Seven Islands consist of seven islands. I believe this mission is not only going to involve a few of us... With seven islands, there might well be seven groups of wizards," Lance said.

Colin nodded, "Your point makes sense."
