Chapter 730: Chapter 216: Selection? It’s a Prearrangement_2
The college wizard observed for a moment, then quickly led Link to the gathering place of the wizards on the West Coast.
“Link… Wizard Grande, I am here.”
Jasmine Mitchell, the wizard of the Tower of the Great Sage Mitchell, showed excitement on her face upon Link’s arrival, raising her right hand high and waving it.
Considering Link had her contact information but had never taken the initiative to send a single message, nor even responded to any of her messages.
She switched from the more intimate “Link” to “Wizard Grande” halfway through her greeting.
“I can only bring you here, Wizard Grande.”
The college wizard glanced at Jasmine Mitchell, who was still waving her hand, and whispered, “You’re on your own from now on. Just a friendly reminder, the witches of the Mitchell family are not simple.”
With those words, the college wizard turned and left without hesitation.
Link mentally noted the college wizard’s caution, calmly walking towards Jasmine Mitchell.
Whether willing or unwilling, this was his partner for the selection.
Even if they did not cooperate or if the cooperation was not smooth, it was better than being adversarial from the beginning.
He had to maintain face.
“Hello, Witch Mitchell.”
Link greeted her in an understated tone.
“Call me Jasmine.”
Jasmine Mitchell lowered her right hand, pouted, first sounded a little displeased, then became cheerful, “I thought you weren’t coming when I couldn’t find you at first. I’m so glad you came. I’m very happy.”
Link remained silent, responding with a silent stare.
Jasmine kept talking, unembarrassed, pointed a finger and continued, “Those who have come here today are the best among the young generation of wizards, starting from the second level wizards, most of them are senior second level wizards, and a very few are super talented and already third level wizards.”
“Really?”
Link did not doubt Jasmine’s meaning but was quite curious.
He wondered who had already been promoted to the third level wizards.
It should be known that the Supreme Council’s selection targets were the true young generation, not older than Elise Clark by three years.
At such a young age, being able to advance to third level wizard meant they had a promising future.
He himself managed to luck into ascending by capitalizing on many fortuitous opportunities and receiving assistance from countless external forces.
Of course, he knew how rare this was.
At that time, Link heard Jasmine Mitchell give a sigh of envy with more expectations, “I really envy them. They don’t need to take a test and can get a quota.”
“Do you know who the third level wizards are, Jasmine?”
Link asked out of curiosity.
“Yes.”
Jasmine nodded as a matter of course and then went into detail, “Five descendants of the saints, the young leaders of the wizard organizations founded by several senior level nine Great Sages, and there is also one from our Tudor region.”
“Anyone in particular?”
Link frowned slightly, inquiring further.
“Why yes, but I’m not quite sure.”
Jasmine pouted, protesting, “I wanted to find out, but the people from the Supreme Council wouldn’t let me see, no matter how much I begged.”
At her words, Link didn’t continue to question.
Whether Jasmine really didn’t know, or pretended not to know, she clearly didn’t want to disclose any information.
Besides, Link felt that her mention of a contender emerging from the Tudor region wasn’t without implications.
Seeing Link’s unwillingness to continue the conversation, Jasmine opened her mouth, but in the end, she remained quiet.
Soon, the young wizards sent by the various wizard families in response to the call of the Supreme Council were all present.
At a rough count, there were more than four hundred people.
After so many years of development in the Wizard World, there were no less than four hundred wizard organizations above the level seven Great Sages, but there were also no more than six hundred.
Like the Mitchell district, according to the agreement, one participant each from the Tower of the Great Sage Mitchell and Ravensmouth College served as representatives. This wasn’t an uncommon arrangement.
Once everybody was accounted for, an anomaly appeared in the starry sky.
Beams of light shot from the unknowable places towards the void where the special ruin world was located.
The special ruin world that used to exist there was no longer visible.
The beams of light vanished into the void, absorbed as if by a black hole, unlike in other places where they easily dissipated and disappeared.
In reality, these beams were a tactic by the Supreme Council.
The purpose was not to illuminate or investigate, but simply to establish a connection.
Link took a glance and discovered that there were 64 beams of light.
He didn’t know if there was any deeper meaning to this number.
As he was thinking about this, changes occurred again.
Each beam of light emitted a branch, aiming at the young wizards waiting for selection.
These light branches were extremely flexible and could twist at will.
It was as if they were scanning back and forth.
Link instinctively wanted to dodge these light branches. The minute the thought arose, he found that his figure had been silently fixed, unable to move.
Two beams of light passed over several wizards and came to Link and Jasmine Mitchell’s side.
As if possessing intelligence, the two branches hesitated for a moment before lighting up on Link and Jasmine Mitchell, ceasing their movement.
Blessed by fortune, Link immediately understood that he had passed the assessment of the Supreme Council.
“So the assessment was not about who is stronger!”
Jasmine, next to him, expressed her emotions, “I thought we had to fight, so I begged my family to arrange for me to team up with you. I didn’t expect it to be so simple.”
Link fell silent upon hearing this.
Was it simple?
This assessment method seemed simple yet was the most ruthless.

Because the underlying logic was “Fate”.
What were the selection criteria?
Unknown.
What was the selection standard?
Unclear.
In the end, they just gave a result.
If it fits, it fits, if not, it does not.
Those participating in the selection could do nothing but accept the result, unable to change anything through their own efforts.
Watching the young talents of the magical world being silently teleported out of this starry sky because the light branches did not want to stay and illuminate them, Link felt this examination, this selection, was unbearably ruthless.
A moment later, 64 wizards remained in the starry sky.
“Is it over?”
Jasmine Mitchell sounded puzzled and somewhat regretful, “Not even a few fights? I actually wanted to watch Wizard Grande’s fighting prowess up close. To see how Link Grande, who is dubbed as unmatched among wizards of his age in the rumors, fights out of tight corners.”
Link couldn’t help but look at her.
Was this girl finally done playing the shy and obedient girl?
Was she revealing her true colors and no longer hiding the fact that from the very beginning she was considering Link as a pawn and stepping stone?
Jasmine, sensing Link’s gaze, showed a sweet smile, and said sweetly: “Why is Wizard Grande looking at me like that? Don’t you recognize me? I’m Jasmine Mitchell.”
“Of course I do.”
Link smiled lightly, “Only now I know you better.”
“Really? Then please take good care of me in the future.”
The smile on Jasmine Mitchell’s face became even brighter, her tone sweeter.
Link nodded lightly.
If he could, he really wanted to take care of his partner a little more.
Having some craftiness was alright, but it was more reliable than a naive and sweet attitude.
The only problem was, as reinforcements entering the test to aid Elise Clark, what would these 64 wizards encounter?
Link inferred from his own experience of the first test that the more people they had to help Elise Clark, the greater help they could provide, the greater the difficulty of the test would be.
He believed that the wizards of the Supreme Council, especially the five saints, certainly understood this.
But the Supreme Council still firmly promoted support for the “special guest” Elise Clark.
This suggested that Elise was probably already in a desperate situation!
And as reinforcements, entering the area, they were bound to encounter situations similar to Elise, or even more difficult ones.
He hoped it wouldn’t be too outrageous!
