160: Chapter 159 Trial

Chapter 160 Trial

Dylan heard this, paused for a moment, then laughed and waved his hand dismissively.

"Haha, I thought it was something important. So it's just this. Simple. Ask whatever you want to know."

"Although the situation of every trial is different, the format is largely the same. Knowing about it in advance will be beneficial for you."

"After all, with your current rate of improvement, you will likely participate alongside Alina in the next session to seize a quota for the World Baptism."

Byron nodded slightly. Although his goal wasn't to compete for the World Baptism quota—since he already had one in hand—he didn't intend to say that. It made no difference whether he said it or not.

However, he looked at Alina with confusion, just about to speak, when Alina interrupted him.

"I know what you want to ask. I didn't participate in this trial because they had already started when I advanced to a Limit Wizard Apprentice."

"Even if I had advanced before the trial started, I wouldn't have planned to participate. Participating right after advancing is useless and would just be a waste of time."

Byron nodded upon hearing this and said nothing more.

Alina urged Dylan, "President, hurry up and tell us. What exactly is this trial?"

Dylan nodded, "Alright, I'll start from the beginning."

Subsequently, Dylan described the events of the trial from his own perspective.

They did not conduct the trial within the Wizard World, but rather, under the leadership of Vice Dean Conrad, they entered an alien world that had already been more than half conquered.

Of course, as Wizard Apprentices, they naturally couldn't go to the front lines to fight against the creatures of that alien world.

Updating is not easy, remember to share 101 Reading Website.

They only performed various tasks in the already secured rear territory to earn points.

After all, if they truly went to the front lines, let alone dealing with alien creatures, even enduring the world environment and the world's hostility—which were vastly different from the Wizard World—would not be an easy task.

In that case, there would be no point in talking about conducting a trial.

Returning to the trial, because the fundamental tones of the three Wizard Academies are different.

The Dark Eclipse Wizard Academy is a Dark Wizard academy, while the other two, the Cold Shadow Wizard Academy and the White Tower Wizard Academy, are White Wizard academies.

Because the teaching methods differ, the formats of the trials naturally differ as well.

Dylan didn't go into detail about the differences, only briefly pointing some out.

Students of the Dark Eclipse Wizard Academy could choose to team up or act alone, wandering around the rear base to investigate various pieces of information or eliminate alien creatures that potentially harbored anti-wizard sentiments.

As for the two White Wizard academies, their students carried out sweeps in squads, and their targets were those alien creatures that banded together to resist.

Don't think that just because wizards have conquered more than half of that alien world and occupy more than half of its territory, it means the rear is necessarily stable and no rebellions will occur.

Let alone conquering more than half, even if the entire alien world were conquered, rebellions would still occur from time to time.

Most of these occur because the world's will is unwilling to be colonized by wizards and constantly incites the natives to resist.

To resist, these world wills leave no stone unturned, using methods including, but not limited to, the following:

Inciting the power of the world to trigger various disasters, actively exposing the world's coordinates to attract the attention of other worlds, and using the power of the world to nurture one Child of the World after another...

Consequently, it is only possible to achieve complete stability after colonizing for hundreds or thousands of years, domesticating all the creatures in that alien world, or subjugating the world's will.

And once this step is reached, the next step would be, as Mentor Isolde said, to transport native residents of the Wizard World for complete colonization.

This is also the standard method wizards use to deal with every conquered world.

But I digress, back to the trial.

Because the tasks and formats on both sides are different, the methods of calculating points also differ.

But the final result of the trial is always calculated based on two rankings of points.

One is the individual point ranking, which concerns every Limit Wizard Apprentice and determines which method of World Baptism they will use when advancing to an Official Wizard.

The second is the academy point ranking.

The points of all students from the academy are added up and divided by the number of students who participated in the trial to get an average value for ranking.

The level of this ranking concerns where the academy can recruit new students afterward.

The academy with the highest points naturally recruits students from the best places, which is the Kingdom of Cold Ash, located in the middle of the three academies, in those major cities.

The second is the villages and small towns outside the cities.

The worst is the place where Byron's batch came from, a place nominally called the Clan Continent, but actually the Clan Islands.

After finishing these, the three of them—Dylan, Loris, and Ivan—each recounted their own encounters in the alien world, which sounded quite dramatic.

When talking about witnessing an Official Wizard in action, their faces radiated brilliant light, and they were extremely yearning for the status of an Official Wizard.

However, according to Byron's guess, the three of them were likely just one World Baptism away from becoming an Official Wizard at this moment.

If not for the matter of the alien world, they would likely have started preparing to advance to Official Wizard long ago.

This made Byron somewhat curious, unable to understand why exploring the alien world held such great temptation for Dylan and the others, even more important than becoming an Official Wizard.

What could make the three of them, who yearned so much for the status of an Official Wizard, force down their yearning to become an Official Wizard just to participate in this journey to the alien world?

Could it be because of those knowledge and resources? It's possible, but it definitely wouldn't be the main factor.

As time passed, the three of them finished recounting their respective encounters; they said everything they could.

Finally, Dylan sighed with emotion, "It was luck, really. The gap in points between us and the White Tower Wizard Academy was very small."

"If we had completed one or two more tasks, maybe we really could have been on par with the White Tower Wizard Academy, or even surpassed them."

Loris and Ivan also nodded with lingering fear, a hint of dread appearing on their faces.

Although the academy ranking didn't have much to do with their individual rankings, the small connection it did have was crucial.

That is, the academy ranking corresponds to the proportion of World Baptism quotas each academy obtains.

Simply put, the higher the academy ranking, the more people from that academy can undergo the World Baptism.

With this in mind, which Wizard Apprentice participating in the trial would dare not do their best?

If the proportion increases, maybe even Wizard Apprentices who originally wouldn't have participated in the World Baptism might get a chance.

If one doesn't do their best and the proportion shrinks, causing Wizard Apprentices who could have originally participated in the World Baptism to lose the chance, that would be a real mess.
