A fallen star...
Lynn also felt regret.
Such a formidable figure, if he had lived to this day, might have become the second Gladstone.
The magical screen displayed the challenge records of all students at Saint Irises Magic Academy.
It was a long list, but Lynn still managed to spot a few familiar names.
"Isha, sixth grade, thirty-ninth floor..."
"Sophia, fifth grade, thirty-first floor..."
Even Isha's final challenge upon graduation was only the thirty-ninth floor, giving a glimpse of how terrifying Detheroc truly was.
And then...
"Augustine, third grade, seventeenth floor..."
Augustine had also made progress.
Lynn recalled that when Isha mentioned him last week, he had just cleared the thirteenth floor.
Lynn also saw his own name.
"Lynn Lancaster, second grade, zero floor."
It was at the bottom of the screen, just entered.
"The rankings are updated in real-time. Every floor you breaks through, the screen's ranking will climb accordingly," Thompson explained with a smile.
"So, are you ready to embrace the challenge, Lynn?"
Lynn nodded, "I am."
"Come on, Lynn! Amaze the entire faculty and students... I'm counting on you to carry me!"
Thompson gave Lynn a thumbs-up with a playful gesture.
Lynn didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Thompson led Lynn to a small door glowing with strange lights.
"Step inside, and you'll enter the first floor of the Magician Trial Tower."
Lynn nodded and instinctively stepped forward.
Suddenly, Thompson grabbed Lynn's hand and earnestly advised, "Lynn, one last piece of advice. If you want to climb higher and farther in the Magician Trial Tower, be sure to conserve your spiritual power!"
Lynn's expression turned serious, "Thank you."
The slender, lanky figure disappeared into the light door.
"I really don't know how many floors he can climb..."
Thompson murmured, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"This time, the minister will definitely break through to the twenty-first floor!"
"More than that, I think he might even reach the twenty-fifth floor..."
"Lynn Lancaster is rumored to have ascended to the third-level, right? Why haven't we seen him challenge the Magician Trial Tower... Hmm, ultimately, he's just scared of the minister, afraid that the minister will steal his thunder."
"Absolutely, absolutely..."
Voices chattered at the doorway.
Thompson frowned and approached them.
A group of people appeared at the Magician Trial Tower.
Leading them was Augustine, whose robe had been changed to red, as cold and arrogant as ever.
"Enter by yourselves," Thompson said, his attitude towards these people not as friendly, barely lifting his eyelids.
Augustine didn't say anything, habitually glancing at the magical screen rankings.
Suddenly, his eyebrows shot up.
A brand-new, yet familiar name appeared on the screen.
"Lynn Lancaster, second grade..."
"...Third floor!"
Others noticed it too and exclaimed in surprise.
"What, Lynn is also challenging the Magician Trial Tower?"
"Third floor, that score... Haha..."
Thompson looked up, his eyes lighting up as he murmured, "Wow, already the third floor just after entering? That's fast..."
Thompson's voice wasn't loud, but it was just enough for everyone to hear.
Several people instantly looked like ducks with their necks pinched, unable to speak.
Just entered...
Third floor...
A sharp light flashed in Augustine's eyes as he turned and asked, "Did Lancaster just go in?"
"Yes, just... a minute ago."
"Good!"
Augustine strode towards the magical light door, his eyes glowing eerily.
Lynn Lancaster...
Now, we're both at the third level. Let's see who is the first genius of Saint Irises Magic Academy!
Augustine's followers looked peculiar.
"Did you feel that?"
"The minister seems excited..."
"Because of Lynn Lancaster."
"Now, this will be interesting to watch..."
Augustine and Lynn, two super geniuses renowned in Saint Irises Magic Academy.
Entering the magician Trial Tower simultaneously.
Their nominal first encounter...
The news spread quickly throughout the academy.
Everyone who heard the news became excited.
All with anticipation...
Not only junior students but also many seniors rushed over.
Even some faculty advisors who knew both by name came to join the excitement.
The Magic Potions Association.
Someone suddenly rushed in, slamming the door with a loud "bang."
"Benjamin, what's the rush?"
Sophia asked with a hint of complaint.
"Vice... Vice President, he..."
"Lynn?"
The members engrossed in potion making immediately looked up. News about Lynn was enough to pique their interest.
Benjamin panted, "Vice President and Augustine..."
"Are they fighting?"
A figure nimbly leaped in front of Benjamin, grabbing his shoulder and eagerly asking.
Short purple hair, exquisite features, and a faint hint of tension—it was Dia.
"No, no..."
Benjamin shook his head and quickly said, "They went into the magician Trial Tower together."
Dia sighed in relief.
"Good, good..."
A sparkle lit up in Sophia's eyes.
"This... is an unorthodox duel?"
"Let's go see!"
"Alright! Let's cheer for the Vice President!"
Without hesitation, the group abandoned the half-prepared potions on the table and hurried to the Magician Trial Tower.
Lynn didn't know that because of Augustine, a huge commotion had erupted outside.
He was currently inside the Magician Trial Tower.
A vast, white world.
It seemed boundless, yet the magical elements were exceptionally abundant, almost ten times more than outside.
Five magical wolves of various colors were staring at him fiercely.
All possessed the strength of first-level magical beasts.
They represented the five elemental attributes of water, fire, earth, wind, and wood.
Not only were they agile and nimble, but they could also spit out magical element attacks like water bombs, fireballs, and wind blades from their mouths.
This was already the fifth floor.
The first floor had only one magical wolf.
After that, the number increased with each floor.
Lynn finally understood why Isha said the Magician Trial Tower was the best place to hone a magician's practical skills.
If a first-level magician faced five magical wolves capable of instantly casting first-level spells of various elements at the same time.
Without sufficient combat awareness and skills, it would indeed be challenging.
They would be instantly defeated!
