C40 – Choo Qin’s Test!

Choo Qin felt a twinge of disappointment. He had come to study the knowledge of runes, yet the Beginner Class turned out to be focused on physical training.

As he watched the enthusiastic youngsters around him, he sighed. He had made his choice, and now he had to see it through in silence.

“Choo Qin, that’s your name, right? It’s almost your turn. The first thing we’ll do is a speed test.”

A girl with a ponytail gave Choo Qin a reassuring pat on the back, signaling that he was up next. Her name was Kuan Xue, and she seemed quite adept.

Besides Kuan Xue and Mi Xueyin, Choo Qin’s group included two other girls: Zhang Yun, who was somewhat tall, and Ye Yun, apparently a distant relative of the Jiaang family from the Earl Mansion.

Approaching the testing apparatus, Choo Qin’s disappointment deepened. The so-called speed test was essentially akin to the shuttle runs of the modern era, with the only difference being the use of magical instruments for timing, and the track was nothing more than a bare platform.

This was nothing like the Magic Academy Choo Qin had envisioned.

Where were the scenes straight out of Harry Potter? The girls? The magic wands?

Now, here he was, a Sorcerer, ready to upend tradition? Running with children?

The more he dwelt on it, the more frustrated he became. When the test started, he couldn’t muster the energy to perform to his full potential.

Since all his group members were girls, Choo Qin didn’t overthink it. He just felt it wouldn’t look good to be outpaced by them, so he pushed himself just enough to score slightly better than Mi Xueyin and then quietly stepped aside.

Little did he know, his run would stir up quite the commotion.

“Wow!”

“That new guy is impressive! He just outran Princess Mi!”

“Could he already be an apprentice? Maybe he’s here to spice things up? I’ve heard Thundery Castle has been quite the hotspot lately.”

“He’s probably not a mage; he doesn’t emanate any Magic Fluctuation. If he were a Mage Apprentice, he wouldn’t be in our Beginner Class.”

Zhu Mo was taken aback. Initially, he hadn’t been too impressed with Choo Qin and simply wanted him to learn from Mi Xueyin. To his astonishment, Choo Qin’s first test score was exceptionally high.

Compelled by curiosity, he approached Choo Qin and inquired, “Choo Qin, have you had any prior training?”

At that moment, Zhu Mo wasn’t considering the possibility of Choo Qin being a mage; he just sensed that Choo Qin might possess a natural aptitude for this.

“Hmm?” Choo Qin was visibly perplexed.

In his mind, barely outscoring the girl should have placed him at the lower end among the boys.

“Mi Xueyin has already awakened the Wind Element and is on the verge of becoming a Mage Apprentice. How could you possibly be faster than her?”

“I’ll check for any elemental signs on you after class. You might have traces of the Wind Element.”

It was then that Choo Qin realized this world was not the school he remembered. The logic he once knew didn’t apply here at all.

Resigned, he nodded at Zhu Mo, choosing to remain silent. Revealing his true identity now would undo all the effort he had put into staying undercover.

?The next test was endurance, and Choo Qin was now wiser. While being tested, he used his senses to gauge the performance of other group members, targeting a skinny boy whose scores were consistently just below his own.

Unexpectedly, right after the test, Zhu Mo approached him again, his voice laced with surprise.

“Choo Qin, you didn’t give it your all just now, did you? With your speed, your scores should be higher.”

“Take the test again. I want to see what you’re truly capable of.”
