Although the academy’s entrance was almost within reach, the mentor who lead the new disciples did not have any intention to bring them into the academy.

The mentor turned around and looked at the more than a thousand disciples standing behind, his sharp dark brown eyes swept over the crowd, making all of them immediately straighten their backs and look at the mentor without blinking.

“You all have passed the test, but you should also know the rules of our college. Before entering the academy, you still need to go through one more test to evaluate your capability and classify the grades that students will enter. For you, this test is the most important test for your future. I hope that everyone can exert their maximum capability and strive to enter the grade with the best resources.”

He raised up his hand and pointed his finger behind the disciples, “This forest is also part of the vast Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, but unlike the perimeter areas of your previous city which was safe, the forest behind you belongs to the area near the edge of the middle part of the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, and not so safe. There are always three or four rank magical beasts roaming around. After you enter, I can’t guarantee that you’re absolutely safe. If someone is not willing to take the test, you can withdraw from the test now. Of course, this means that you give up the opportunity to enter our academy. If there are no objections, I will explain the rules of the test.”

After this stern-faced male mentor finished speaking, he continuously glanced around the disciples with his dark brown eyes. When no one said that they wanted to quit, he continued to explain, “Hunting a first rank magical beast is 2 points, a second rank magical beast is 10 points, a third rank magical beast is 50 points, and more than a third rank magical beast is 100 points.” He paused for a moment, before he continued, “Every disciple will be given a magic card, if you snatched another disciple’s card, your score will directly add 50 points. If you are aware of the danger, you can directly break the magic card, as a lost or broken magic card will force you to transfer here. Of course, this also indicates that your challenge is over, and your score will only count until you forced transmission.”

The youths who originally wanted to find a strong alliance, instantly stopped their steps, after hearing the mentor’s words. They began to look at each other full of hesitant emotions in their eyes. After all, they were not strong enough, since their magic cards also could distribute bonus points, who knew a disciple with strong ability that they could rely on would not turn on them, and directly take away their cards?

At this moment, the mentor continued, “After all of you receive a magic card, enter the magic array, and the magic array will scatter you to various places. Of course, the positions will be relatively safe. The test time is for half a month, please take good care.”

After hearing the mentor’s words, the disciples with poor strength immediately breathed a sigh of relief, at least they still had a chance, not worrying about their cards being taken away when they first enter.

Elvis was silently standing behind the crowd while holding Li Luo in his arms. Even so, many people still noticed him. After all, he was one of the few talented disciples that emerged during the first test.

After receiving the magic card and placing it into his storage bag, Elvis stood in the teleportation array with other disciples.

Li Luo, who stayed within Elvis’ bosom, merely blinked a few times, before the scene in front of him immediately changed into another scenery.

All of disciples that were originally crowding around Elvis disappeared, the two of them were surrounded by big and towering trees, and not far away from this place was a small waterfall and a lake with clear blue water, as the melodious and beautiful sound of countless birds chirping could be faintly heard.

Elvis looked at the surroundings with vigilance, when he confirmed that no one was around, he placed Li Luo on the ground, “Ludwig, there is no one around, so you can change into your human form.”

Li Luo had no objection, he had long wanted to continuously stay in human form, if he was able to remove his cat’s ears and tail when in human form, he would be more happy. After he became a slender teenager, he quickly put on the clothes that Elvis had prepared for him, the clothes that Elvis wore when he was thirteen. The size was just right, only the sleeves and trouser legs were a little short, and showing his white arms and lower legs, but it didn’t look ugly. The long silver white hair that was originally scattered behind his body, was tied high behind his head with a silver colored hair band, in order not affect the activity, which made his small and exquisite face completely revealed. The youth’s face seemed still have a little bit of baby fat, and his appearance also still not fully opened, and look very young.

Elvis waiting for Li Luo to get properly dressed, before the two of them quickly walked forward together.

……

Fifteen days quickly passed, during that period of time there were seven or eight hundred people that were eliminated.

Elvis in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts was practically just like a fish back in water. For him, a third rank magical beast was a mere trifle, it was not difficult to solve, but in order to hide the fact that he was already a four star Junior Magus, Elvis merely used three star Scholar Magus abilities, to once again hunt a few more.

Elvis and Li Luo also come across other disciples several times during the hunting of magical beasts.

However, Elvis would let Li Luo change back into cat form when he sensed the magic fluctuations of other disciples. When others saw Elvis, they immediately left at the fastest speed. After the other disciples were far away from them, Elvis would let Li Luo return to being in human form. Therefore, no one found out that the magical beast at Elvis’ side was able to become human.

Elvis never thought about searching for other disciples to take away their magic cards to get points, so he never thought about chasing them, and they were safe.

Of course, not all disciples were like Elvis who do not want to commit that act. For some disciples, it was much easier to take away the magic cards of other disciples who weaker than themselves, than hunting third rank magical beasts. Therefore, there were many disciples who had been forced out because they lost their magic cards.

When it was almost the time to leave, Elvis let Li Luo return back into his cat form, and then held him in his arms as he waited for the moment of transmission.

In these fifteen days, Li Luo was always by Elvis’ side, and as long as he was able to maintain his human form, he would always change into his human appearance. As a result, his time to maintain his human form had increased again, from two and a half hours to four hours.

After a while, Elvis’ magic card began to emit a white light, and then Elvis with Li Luo instantly disappeared from the place where they were originally standing.

The mentors of the St. Helier Magic Academy had long been waiting for the disciples who were inside the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts to come out, they were waiting at the the field of green grass near the lake that surrounded St. Helier Magic Academy.

After they saw a white light flashing across the grass and then disappeared, countless people who were a sorry sight to behold and also people who were leisurely and contented, rapidly appeared there.

A man with dark green short hair, emerald eyes, and fair skin, walked out among the mentors, he looked at the disciples, before stretching out his slender fingers from his wide magic robe and pointed into the open space in front of them, “Wait for a moment, I will call your name, and you will place any crystal cores of magical beasts or magic cards that you obtained on this open space, and we will evaluate your achievements and rank among all of the disciples.”

He called the names according to the order of the previous registration, and eliminated the people who were eliminated, and would not make people feel that they were being neglected or given preferential treatment because of their low and high levels.

When it was Elvis’ turn, the best result so far was from the four star Junior Magus disciple, with the score of more than 1,500 points, exceeding second place by more than 1,100 points.

Elvis placed all of the crystal cores of magical beasts that he had obtained from inside the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts these days into the open space, and the dark green haired mentor went to the front of the piled up crystal cores and carefully checked them two or three times, before finally announcing, “Elvis, 1298.” After the mentor reported Elvis’ results, he immediately appreciatively looked at him. He originally thought that the third star Scholar Magus disciple who had obtained 1186 points had been very good, he didn’t expect that a more talented individual would appear.

When all of the crystal cores of magical beasts that the disciples hunted finished being evaluated, they were returned to the disciples that owned them, the academy would not interfere with how they wanted to use the crystal cores.

After counting all the disciples’ scores, a boat with simple decorations was floating on the blue colored water surface, and steadily stopped at the shore.

The boat didn’t look big enough to load a few hundred people, but when the disciples went in, they find out that the space was much larger than what they had seen outside, moreover after all the disciples and mentors went inside, it still had enough spare space.

The the disciples who went in early were excitedly looking around the boat’s interior, while some disciples that had just entered the boat were immediately revealing the worship in their eyes, and they could not help but reach out their hands to touch the runes on the cabin walls. They could not help but sigh, “Oh my God, it’s the first time I saw space magic, it’s fantastic.”

“It is said that this is the magic that only a mage at the Great Magic Instructor level would be able to comprehend, it’s so wonderful!”

“I don’t know if I can reach the level of Great Magus in my lifetime, let alone the Great Magic Instructor.”

Elvis merely held Li Luo as he leaned against a wall of the cabin, there was no such thing as the amazement as though he found the new world just like other disciples. For him, as long as he broke through to the next level, he could start to learn the hard to understand space magic, which in his case was just something within reach. Furthermore, with his nature, it was impossible to have a reaction like everyone else.

The speed of the ship was very fast, and it took only a few minutes to reach the shore of the island where the St. Helier Magic Academy was located.

All of the disciples went out of the boat with a longing mood, and with their infinite yearning for the future, as they stepped foot on this land that they had been looking forward to for a long time.

Originally, when they saw the location of St. Helier Magic Academy from the distance, it was already very large, now that they were really standing in front of it, they felt it became even more magnificent, moreover there was an imposing atmosphere that seemed to have been passed down for a long time assaulting their senses, making all the disciples not dare to have any blasphemous thoughts about it.
