Greetings, Mister Principal

Hearing what Reiner said, President Demetrius was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said to Reiner.

"I almost forgot that you haven't taken the magic test yet. Talking with you makes me feel that I am not facing a low-level apprentice, but more like a wise scholar."

He said and then looked at the high-level mages around him that were also from the Mercury Balance.

"Everyone, I think people like Reiner shouldn't have to return to the kingdom of Aster to take the mage exam. Why don't we just complete the magic test for him here in Ernest?"

President Demetrius' proposal was approved by everyone and he then explained it to Reiner.

"Although it is said that to become a formal mage, one must pass a magic test, there are exceptions. For some special talents, they can be tested and selected under the witness of three mages above the middle level. Those who pass the test can still be promoted to the first-ring mage."

Reiner understood it quickly. This was actually more like a procedure for independent enrollment or recommended students than getting promoted through special connections.

"If you want, you can allow me and two other high-level mages to be your witnesses and perform your magic test here."

President Demetrius said. Such an excellent talent should not be bound by secular rules. Honestly, judging from the feedback from the world that Reiner had gotten from these few discoveries, his promotion to first-ring mage was also a sure thing.

In this way, the so-called magic test was nothing more than a formality, not to mention that Reiner's test scores were almost all full marks. As a high-level mage, Demetrius had no problem granting this privilege to Reiner.

"Of course I'm happy to have you as my examiner."

Naturally, Reiner would not refuse. The magic test witnessed by the three high-level mages was probably rare in history, and he also didn't have to go back and forth to take the test.

"Okay then, Reiner, you should have already engraved a first-ring spell into your heart lake, right?"

President Demetrius asked.

Reiner nodded. He didn't expect the other party to be so decisive.

"Then let's go to the meeting room No. 12 upstairs. That room is more spacious."

President Demetrius said. He then invited his two colleagues, Eagles Ferdo and Cornwall Penzance and brought along his students with Reiner to the No. 12 meeting room.

It was indeed more spacious here and the tables and chairs were still piled up in the corner, not yet arranged, suitable for a magic test.

President Demetrius waved his hand gently and several chairs floated up and landed firmly in the near corner of the conference room.

The three high-level mages sat on the chairs, while their students stood at the back. Everyone looked at Reiner in the center of the conference room.

Reiner breathed smoothly, not revealing the slightest nervousness, and raised his hand. But before he cast the spell, he suddenly thought of a problem.

"Your Excellency Demetrius, the spell I've engraved is a fireball casting spell and it is slightly more powerful than an ordinary fireball spell. If I just release it here, won't it cause damage to the room?"

Reiner remembered the fireball spell he had released in Torrendo, which directly smashed the obsidian slab that could withstand the direct attack of spells below the third level to pieces. He was a little worried about whether the magic energy surging in his heart lake would increase the power of fireball after these studies.

"Don't worry, we can still handle a fireball spell."

President Demetrius said, signalling Reiner to cast the spell at will.

With the permission of a high-level mage, Reiner naturally did not need to restrain his ability. A cluster of blue flames emerged from his fingertips, which immediately expanded and then converged into a fiery flame under the constraints of magic energy.

This bright and dazzling blue made Penzance raise his eyebrows slightly. He had never seen this color of fireball before.

The next moment, the fireball in Reiner's hand shot out suddenly, creating an air current shock wave visible to the naked eye, shaking the windows of the conference room.

President Demetrius immediately raised his hand. An invisible barrier appeared near the wall in front of Reiner. The next moment, the blue fireball hit the barrier. The flames of the fireball roared like a dragon, quickly spreading over the entire barrier, attempting to burn it to death.

"This power..."

President Demetrius' eyes lit up, his fingers gently closed. That invisible barrier quickly enveloped the remaining flames, isolating the air, making it extinguished immediately.

A hot, dry odor lingered in the conference room. Several students saw Reiner's fireball technique and fell into thinking.

This was obviously not a regular spell. Although the magic energy consumed was similar to that of a standard fireball, its destructive power was far greater, which meant that the efficiency of this spell was much higher than that of a standard fireball.

Some of the mages were investigating how to use the least amount of magic energy to achieve the greatest effect, that is, how to improve the efficiency of a spell. They optimized their spell models and changed the conjuring materials, but in most cases, the optimization effect was less than ten percent. However, the power of the fireball that Reiner now showed was at least 80% higher than that of a standard fireball.

"Because I had previously developed the polar coordinate system to help students better master spell models, my spell model was built in this new coordinate system with certain optimizations. At the same time, I chose to use the Hydra element for the fireball. That's why the color of the fuel is different."

Reiner said simply. The secret of his spell was not difficult to understand, so naturally he did not hide it. Probably mages like President Demetrius could understand its mystery at a glance.

"Hydra element? I see."

Eagles Ferdo nodded slightly. Since fireball was a basic spell, most of the mages that could understand the Hydra element and the Occles element had long passed the stage of frequent contact with this basic spell. So not many people would think of using it to improve the fireball technique.

"I suggest that you write down this magic model and submit it to the Magic Association to earn academic points. Although academic points seem to be of little use in the low-level mage period, if you intend to advance to the intermediate or even high-level in the future, you'll find it is necessary to accumulate points wherever you can."

Ferdo said earnestly. Of course, the main reason why low-level mages didn't use points was that most of them couldn't get enough points. There were not many mage apprentices like Reiner who had thousands of academic points.

Of course, Reiner could keep his own spells secret, but it is just like what he thought, it was not difficult to deconstruct his fireball spell, so there was no need to keep it hidden. It was much better to use it to earn some academic points.

"Thank you for the suggestion, I will consider it."Reiner nodded and replied.

"So, everyone, I think with the performance just now, Reiner's magic level is enough for him to get the official mage rank. Do you have any comments?"

President Demetrius looked at the two high-level mages sitting on his left and right and said. They shook without expressing any objection, so the head of Mercury Balance cleared his throat and said solemnly.

"Then, Reiner Ian Gray, congratulations on successfully passing your assessment. From today, you are an official mage. I hope you can abide by the mage rules and take the search for the truth as your duty."
