The Wizard World (Part 1) Completed

Chapter 47: On the Ship (2)

Everyone looked at Jared with mixed feelings. Angele was surprised, too. After all, Jared was nearly a year younger than him, but Jared already reached stage 3. Angele realized that he really had no idea just how vast this mysterious world was.

“No, impressive actually. Jared, right? Can you spare some time after the test, so we could talk?” the man asked with an excited look on his face.

“Sure.” Jared nodded, still having a calm demeanor.

“Stage 2 wizard apprentices under the age of 18, please stand by my left side.” The man nodded before he turned back to the rest. Seven more people stepped forward while four people remained uncalled, not including Angele.

“Good, stage 3 wizard apprentices won’t be tested. The rest of you, come with me,” the man said before nodding.

“Come in here one by one. Stage 2 wizard apprentices first.” He walked through a wooden door at the end of the hall. Angele attempted to peek, but he couldn’t see anything but darkness inside. The stage 2 wizard apprentices went inside first. Within 20 seconds, they went out with different expressions on their faces. Some of them looked happy, while some looked despondent.

Angele didn’t need to wait for long before it was their turn. He hadn’t even reached stage 1 yet, but the man didn’t seem to care. There were four apprentices who were at stage 1. The first one who went inside was a black-haired girl with a ponytail. She went in and after just a few seconds, she got out with a disappointed expression and tears in her eyes. Only a few who went in got out with happy expressions while the rest all looked disappointed. As they knew of this fact, Angele and the other two became nervous, merely looking at each other without doing anything. It was clear that no one wanted to go in first.

“Hurry up! Next!” the man yelled. He was speaking in Rudin, but he had a strange accent whenever he got nervous. Angele looked at the other two before deciding to head in first. He hesitated for a second when he was right in front of the wooden door, and then he went into the darkness. He inhaled once and smelled something fishy. It was the volcano grass, something that Angele had on his way to Marua.

“Can you sense my location?” The man’s voice was coming from all directions. Angele listened carefully and used the chip to enhance his sensation.

‘Analyzing… The sound waves are coming from all directions. The number of sources is 4. No actual location detected…’ Zero reported. Angele scrunched his eyebrows as there was nothing else he could do.

“Yea, you can’t.” The man stopped for a moment before he started writing down something.

“Which directions does my voice come from?” he asked.

“All directions,” Angele answered.

“How about up and down?” the man asked.

“Nope,” Angele said.

“Good, you’re being honest. Your name?” he asked again.

“Angele Rio,” Angele said.

“There are five different levels of talent. You’re at level 2, slightly better compared to level 1. You may leave now,” the man said.

Angele felt a bit disappointed. Before leaving the room, he bowed toward the darkness.

The two outside the room saw Angele’s expression, causing their anxiety levels to escalate. Nonetheless, they still went inside and took the test, but they had a lachrymose expression. After the test was finished, the man in black robe walked out of the room and locked the door. He then turned around and looked at all the apprentices.
