Chapter 383
: "Reliable" Zoe
next morning
The experimental magic field of Ernst College was surrounded by a bustling crowd. Dozens of solemn magic instructors in robes stood in the front row, their robes swaying gently in the breeze, and the mysterious runes on them shimmered.
Many instructors originally had teaching arrangements, but they have asked for leave to adjust their classes. However, even if they go to class, they will probably face empty classrooms.
The dean of the college also showed up, his usually calm face now full of anticipation. Everyone gathered here just to witness this moment of extraordinary significance that will surely be remembered in the history of the college.
Under the spotlight of everyone, the instructor in charge of the assessment couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He had been an assessment instructor for many years, but this was the first time he felt so nervous. However, he quickly adjusted his state, calmed his mind, and then announced in a steady and powerful voice:
"The test begins. The rule is to cast any sixth-level magic. Candidate Aatrox, are you ready?"
Zhou Xian nodded. After a brief thought, he began to quickly recite an obscure magic spell. As the spell came out, the air around him seemed to be stirred.
Instantly, a dark cloud rolled in from the horizon, quickly covering the entire sky. Then, a strong bolt of lightning tore through the clouds, carrying the power of destroying the heavens and the earth, and crashed down, causing everyone present to exclaim in surprise.
"This is the seventh-level magic 'Thunder Strike'!" An instructor's voice trembled with disbelief.
"Aatrox actually possesses the strength of a seventh-level magician!" Another mentor couldn't help but exclaimed, his tone full of shock.
In an instant, all the instructors opened their eyes wide, staring at the thunder, their eyes filled with disbelief. The scene fell into dead silence, and then a burst of whispering broke out.
Behind the instructors, the group of students watching were also stunned by the scene. Some opened their mouths unconsciously, but couldn't speak for a long time; some were shocked, their eyes full of admiration and awe for Aatrox; others whispered to each other, discussing in low voices, their words full of disbelief.
"How about it? With my level, can I graduate?" Zhou Xian looked calm and didn't care about the looks from people around him. He turned around and looked at the assessment instructor beside him with a very relaxed tone.
After hearing Zhou Xian's question, the instructor finally came back to his senses from the shock. He swallowed subconsciously, his Adam's apple rolling up and down, and stammered, "Yes... yes."
Zhou Xian raised his lips slightly and nodded with satisfaction. Then, he turned to look at Zoe, a hint of caution flashed in his eyes, and whispered: "Zoe, you must pay attention to what we agreed on before, and don't make any mistakes."
Zoe wrinkled her small nose slightly, a trace of displeasure appeared on her face, a hint of anger flashed in her eyes, and she said in a slightly innocent way: "Don't worry, I'm not a child, I know what's going on, there's no need for you to worry so much."
She raised her chin slightly, as if she was a little angry about Zhou Xian's suspicion.
"What the hell, I really hope this girl doesn't let me down this time." Zhou Xian shook his head slightly, a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he complained silently in his heart. But he didn't dare to say these words out loud, after all, with Zoe's temper, if she heard it, she would immediately "furious", and then it would be troublesome.
The students who were about to turn around and leave, when they heard that there was still one person who had not yet been assessed, immediately became curious. They paused, then slowly turned around and cast their eyes on Zoe. The crowd began to whisper, and their curious eyes looked at Zoe. The assessor just opened his mouth slightly, ready to announce matters related to the assessment, and Zoe raised her chin slightly, with a confident look and a hint of impatience, and spoke first: "I know all the rules, stop talking, and start."
Her crisp and clear tone, as if she was confident about the assessment, instantly quieted down the students who were originally talking around her, and their eyes were fixed on her.
The assessment instructor nodded slightly, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he said in a calm tone: "Well, since you know the rules, let's get started."
He was not at all annoyed by Zoe's interruption. Instead, his eyes revealed some expectations for Zoe. Could this be another person who could make history?
The instructor took a step back and signaled Zoe to start demonstrating magic. The students around her all fell silent, holding their breath, waiting for Zoe's performance.
Zoe pouted slightly, frowned slightly, and stood there with a distressed look on her face, muttering to herself, "Oh, what magic should I use? That guy Aatrox actually won't let me use the magic of 'Big Dog'. It's so annoying!"
She tilted her head, her eyes full of confusion, her hands unconsciously tugged at the corner of her clothes, and stomped her feet lightly on the spot. She looked both cute and helpless. The students around her looked at her like this and couldn't help but look at each other with a puzzled expression.
Zoe lowered her eyes and pondered for a long time. Just when everyone thought she had no idea, her eyes suddenly lit up and she clapped her hands violently, making a crisp sound. A bright smile instantly bloomed on her face, and she shouted excitedly, "Got it!"
She looked as if she had found a winning formula, and she radiated confidence. The students around her who were originally a little confused could not help but be infected by her emotions, and became curious about what wonderful magic she had thought of.
At the moment when Zoe excitedly shouted "Yes", Zhou Xian's originally calm expression suddenly changed, his heart suddenly shrank, and a strong sense of uneasiness quickly spread in his heart like a vine. His brows twisted into a knot unconsciously, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. He stared at Zoe closely, thinking secretly in his heart: This girl, please don't let anything go wrong! It seemed as if he had a premonition that something bad was about to happen, and the whole person instantly became nervous.
“Astral Binding!” Zoe’s eyes were sharp, her face full of concentration. She shouted softly, and the clear voice echoed in the magic field.
"Zoe!"
Zhou Xian's eyes suddenly widened, full of panic. He almost subconsciously shouted, his voice resounding like a bell.
In an instant, the magic power in his body began to boil like a surging wave, and the fighting spirit in his body was running wildly like a wild horse. His clothes rustled due to the surge of this powerful force, and his hair was blown wildly by the strong wind. The whole person seemed to have instantly turned into a volcano about to erupt, ready to burst out amazing power at any time to deal with Zoe's sudden magic.
However, Zoe waved her hand vigorously, and a strange wave seemed to appear in the air. Starlight flew out from her palm, forming a light ball several meters in size that smashed into the distance. An explosion sounded, and its power was probably that of a seventh-level magic.
