“What? It turned out to be such a simple test.” A beautiful girl with a slim body and slender waists said indifferently from within a crowd.

“Of course, Miss you are about to break through the third level, and your magic control is exceptional, you will definitely pa.s.s the test with flying colors!” A middle-aged man in formal black attire responded reverently.

“Hmph, that’s obvious.” The pink-haired girl in a short skirt smiled smugly.

Although Rosie’s magic affinity isn’t as good as Caesar’s, but when it comes to comparing magic manipulation, she definitely would not lose to anyone! This kind of test is too simple for her. If it wasn’t for partic.i.p.ating in the combat drill, she definitely would not waste her time on this kind of stuff.

As long as she pa.s.ses the selection test, she can partic.i.p.ate in the “real combat drill”, and she can team up with Caesar, can fight side by side with Caesar, together with Caesar…hehe

Thinking of this, Rosie curled the pink hair on the side of her head, stood on her tip toes trying to find someone from within the crowd.

Strange, where is Caesar?

She feels a bit vexed. Everyone was swarming around teacher Woos wanting to start the test earlier. She didn't really want to join the swarm of people, so she was squeezed to the outermost of the crowd and lost track of Caesar.

"Eh?" Outside the crowd, she saw a familar face.

Lin Xiao also stood at the outermost area of the crowd, looking like a slob that didn’t get enough sleep. Not only does it look like he doesn’t care about the test at all, but he was also happily chatting with his silver-haired maid.

“Ah, how come I feel blood rus.h.i.+ng to my head every time I see him? d.a.m.n Lin Xiao!” said Rosie as she angrily stamped her feet.

She wants to find a chance to teach Lin Xiao a lesson, getting payback for Caesar, but no good plan comes to mind.

“Miss, if there’s anything you need me to do…” Afu said in a timely manner.

“You? What can you do? It’s not like you can just go and beat him up. I’m not a bad girl that will resort to violence!” Rosie sighed helplessly, preparing to change her line of sight, but then she suddenly thought of something and exclaimed, “Ah, that’s right!”

“Miss, what’s your order?”

“Hey, I just thought of a way!” Rosie giggled at her epiphany.

Making Lin Xiao look like a fool is too easy, all she has to do is find and reveal his cheating methods! Even if he didn’t cheat, it would still be a win if she could find out exactly what secrets he had hidden!

The qualification test is almost about to begin, Lin Xiao must have prepared a plot to steal the limelight away from Caesar! You see, isn’t he discussing something with his maid? There must be something going on here!

With an idea, Rosie whispered to Afu, “You, go and listen to what Lin Xiao and his maid are talking about, and report back to me later.”

“Understood, miss!”

“Hey… be careful, don’t be discovered by them!”

“Please leave it to me!”

Afu nodded, his figure flashed, and he disappeared into the crowd.

Don’t think of Afu as a mere servant, he used to serve as a soldier. Not just any soldier, but an elite soldier who specializes in special missions for the kingdom! Eavesdropping on some children talking is child’s play for him.

Soon, Afu found and hid behind a big tree that was near Lin Xiao, and avoided the line of sight of the crowd. He didn’t move an inch, and surpressed his breathing to be as quiet as possible. As a result, the other party should not be aware of his existence.

The eavesdropper Afu successfully positioned himself, and Lin Xiao and his silver-haired maid still did not notice it, and they were still non chalantly chatting away.

“Oh, but I can’t hear clearly.” Afu was very depressed.

Although the other party didn’t notice him, there was too much distance between them. He could not clearly hear their conversation, but there is no better way at the moment. The field is too empty, there are too many students, it was already difficult enough finding a large enough tree to hide behind. Afu obviously can’t just walk right up to them, pretend to pa.s.s by and stand behind them to listen in to their conversation.

Let me listen in for a while first.

……

……

“Elena! You just said…” Lin Xiao said as if it seems he had discovered a big secret. “You just said that my strength is greater than all of them, right?”

“Correct.”

“Strange, how did you know?”

“What, did I get it wrong?”

“No, no, the problem is not that.” Lin Xiao suddenly remembered something. “A couple days ago, when Caesar asked me to fight, you said that I was not a magician of the same level, right?”

“Yeah.” Elena sighed, thinking that Lin Xiao was going to settle a score. “You are a fourth-level, he is a third-level, of course you guys aren’t the same level, is there a problem?”

“No, no… I am a fourth-level, he is a third-level. That’s definitely a fact.” Lin Xiao didn’t want to settle an old score, but continued to ask with a blank look. “But how did you know? I obviously didn’t tell you!… Elena, can you see clearly see the true strength of me and Caesar?”

“Of course.” Elena nodded. “I can see the magical level of everyone.”

“Cough…that’s impossible!!!” Lin Xiao almost choked on his own saliva.

He had some premonitions before, that Elena could see through their strength. But, he didn’t expect his premonition to be right!

A magician’s magic level can’t even be accurately grasped by the magician himself, let alone being seen by others. Unless their magic levels differ by more than three levels, then it might be possible for the magician to kind of get a blurry understanding of the true strength of the opponent, even that may be a bit difficult before fighting.

In other words, even if you stand in front of a big magician who is three levels higher than you, and the other party can easily crush you with his strong magic, but before the battle starts, both of you will be very nervous.

Because, neither of you knows the true strength of your opponent! To other people, you two will just look like psychos wearing big hats and black robes. If you don’t say it yourself, others won’t even know you’re a magician.

Due to this reason, the Magic a.s.sociation was established. In Eileen, all powerful magicians will register with the Magic a.s.sociation. The a.s.sociation will then rate you according to your strength, and then issue a personal badge, which is the badge used by Caesar to propose a duel to Lin Xiao a few days ago.

The personal badge is both a symbol of ident.i.ty, and a representation of the power level of the magician. Wearing it, a powerful magician will be respected and recognized wherever he goes, and at the same time avoid unnecessary troubles.

However, Elena can see through the magic level of others at a glance. If this is true, her “perception” is too strong!

“Elena, aren’t you lying? As far as I know, in the past couple hundreds of years, there are only a countable number of humans who can perceive the magical level of others.”

“That’s because you humans are too weak.” Elena shook her head, and her silvery white hair was covered with a fascinating glow by the sun’s rays. “Don’t forget, I am the 89th Demon King!”

“Oh… But, I still don’t believe it.” Lin Xiao looked at her with a look of skepticism. “Actually, let’s do an experiment?”

“Experiment… What kind of experiment?”

“Do you see those students on the field attacking the puppets with magic?”

“Yeah.” Elena nodded.

“Whoever I point to, you will tell me their magic level to test your perception, how about it?”

“Piece of cake.”

“Okay. Let’s get started!”

……

……

Afu, who was hiding behind the big tree, scratched his head.

On the other side of the field, the students have already started the qualification test under Woos’s supervision. Shouts, laughter, the reprimand of teacher Woos, and the roar of magic explosions, all makes his task of eavesdropping more difficult.

“Magician…magic level…hey, isn’t it just an ordinary chat?”

"Perception…experiment…and so on, what experiment? What do they want to do?"

The distance between them is too far, and the voices of the two people barely reaches him. Afu can only hear a few key words sporadically. However, he quickly realized that the following conversation was the most important point, and he had to clearly listen to it!

What’s this experiment they are talking about?

The girl with silver hair and red eyes, the boy of the Eastern tribe… Is Miss Rosie right in saying that they are planning a devious plot?

Afu p.r.i.c.ked up his ears and tried to concentrate harder to hear what comes next.
