[Aurora's Current Favorability: 45 (Friendly)]

Ian, who was caressing the Planar Token in his hand while contemplating its significance, was stunned after hearing an inexplicable surge of favorability.

"Huh? What happened?"

Ian was confused and looked in their direction only to see Aurora gazing at him with gratitude while Henry seemed slumped down. Instead, Lyra was smiling at him as if she wanted praise.

'This girl. Did she praise me or what?'

Ian smiled while looking at Lyra as he loved this girl even more. Well, it seemed he needed to give her one of the Planar Tokens just in case; better to be careful.

"Okay, that's it. Today's test is over. Those who didn't get chosen can disperse."

While they were busy in their world, Ron finally completed the qualifications test and heaved a sigh of relief.

'Finally, this trouble is over.'

He thought and even though there was still some mana remaining inside the Keystone with the ability to test non-token holders, he canceled the spell making it inert just like before.

If there were no surprises, this crystal would shine with brilliant color only after another 10 years.

"Sigh! Why is it that hard to score when it comes to us?"

The earlier boy in the crowd who was clearly excited about the upcoming test after seeing Ian's and others' results was totally disappointed.

"Who knows, they might be doing some shady things behind. Didn't you see that girl with no qualifications still standing there?"

It was despicable human nature to criticize others when you weren't up to par. So, the other one didn't forget to smear someone's reputation finding an outlet for his incompetence.

"Shss... do you want to die? There is a Wizard right there. Don't drag me down with you."

Hearing his dissatisfied words, the previous boy couldn't help but complain, distancing himself from this stupid person.

Truly, an intelligent enemy was better than a stupid friend.

"Tch..."

An impulsive youth wouldn't take consideration of their actions. It was a society that sometimes had to hammer sense into them. Fortunately for him, Ron was in a good mood and didn't heed their words or even bother to listen.

Instead, he swiftly disappeared from his place, appearing directly in front of the qualified people.

'Almost forty people with some good seedlings mixed in. My mission this time is now almost completed.'

Ron thought after looking at the group of people who were in awe at his inexplicable sudden appearance; except Carl, Ian, and Lyra, of course.

"Okay, the test has now been completed and you, youngsters, have been chosen. I know that some of you are only here to experience the Ignisia Tower and might decide to leave and I won't stop.

But I suggest you think twice as a Wizard's power isn't something a mere knight could guess. There is no future staying in this barren place."

After saying such a serious word, Ron waved his hand taking out his new striking wand from his ring while simultaneously chanting a spell.

"Mass Displacement!"

With the unique Archaic words, suddenly a large amount of mana gushed out of Ron covering a 1000-meter radius around him, affecting everyone.

"Woah!"

Most of the people here were novices to the wizard method and had never seen such a spectacle. The most they had seen was the suave style of the Knight in close combat on the battlefield.

Someone using such a large-scale spell, that too on them, was a rare occurrence. It so that so-called first-hand experience.

"Don't resist and relax your nerves."

Ron advised not to anyone but to Ian, Lyra, and Carl who were already Wizard Apprentices and able to resist his spell somewhat.

"Woah... hey, look at what is happening there."

One of the youngsters in the crowd who was returning after the failure saw the incredible scene of magic in action and shouted loudly in extreme surprise.

"Magic, Wizard magic."

"Damn, did I miss such an opportunity?"

Ignorance was bliss. When they knew nothing about Wizards, they just came here with the mentality of giving it a try and had no qualms even if they failed.

But now that they saw such an incredible display of power for the first time, their hearts hurt with regret as if losing something incredible in life.

Such was the condition in this mana-less barren continent. In a way, it was truly tragic. After all, their path was cut off even before it began. If they were in the Calvora continent, even with low potential, there was still a chance.

As the pure mana around intensified and the crowd reeled in regret, surprise, and excitement, the spell was finally completed and Ron slightly relaxed.

The reason why he displayed such a method at this last moment was because it was now time to enter the Ignisia Tower and he didn't need to worry about declining mana anymore.

'Let them see what they had missed and let the chosen see what they will miss.'

Ron smirked hypocritically and finally spoke one word,

"Displace!"

"Swish!"

With his sharp shout, the radiating mana drew inward covering everyone on the platform tightly, and disappeared inexplicably along with everyone instantly.

Even the crowd who were intently watching didn't see their leaving figures, making them truly bewildered.

Now they understood that a Wizard's method was way above any Knight could achieve. But it was too late to regret it as the only Wizard they saw in their life, who could change their destiny, had already disappeared.

However, was it really that easy to embrace such powers? Was there no trade-off to pay?

Was being a Wizard truly a wonderful path or a fluffy dream that just lifts your hope higher only to slam you to the ground ruthlessly? It remained to be seen.

"Cough..."

"Damn! Old Man, Cough... Can't you use the spell properly?"

Ian couldn't help but curse after inhaling some dust.

'Is he taking revenge?'
