Wizard: I Have a Game Panel-Chapter 303 - 234: The First Time Rune

Instead, wait until the apprentices are transported to the Academy City for a detailed, unified test to thoroughly determine which witchcraft faction they are suited for before giving any suggestions.

Of course, if apprentices with Level 3 Meditation Talent and above don’t heed the advice, it’s fine. Unless they exhibit an extraordinarily astonishing talent, the Wizard Alliance won’t force them to choose a specific faction.

As for apprentices with Level 1 or 2 Meditation Talent, they naturally have to comply with arrangements.

However, there are exceptions. If an apprentice possesses Spatial Talent and chooses to join the Space Faction, both the apprentice and the wizard who brought them into the Academy City will receive a generous reward regardless of their Meditation Talent level.

Most importantly, the expense is borne by the Wizard Alliance, not the Space Academy.

In the entire academy system, this unique privilege is unmatched, making other academies envious.

"Yes, Wizard Lawen." Van was awakened by the elder wizard’s words, hurriedly stepping aside to make way for the passage behind him.

Then, children began to emerge from the cabin in succession, queuing up obediently behind Van.

A short while later, the Elder Wizard checked the numbers to ensure all the apprentices he recruited were present, immediately leading the group along with the crowd to the talent testing hall located outside the spaceship docking area.

Two hours later.

Spatial Mage Talent Testing Area.

In this area, over ten thousand wizard apprentices formed ten long lines, each moving toward the center of the testing area where a giant black crystal pillar stood, reaching out to touch it with their hands.

After waiting for about eight to ten seconds, they would release their hands and listen to the Space Mage in black wizard robes whispering nearby.

They would reveal either joyous or disappointed expressions.

"Next, Fane Valentine." The middle-aged wizard in black robes dismissed an apprentice with a disappointed face and called out while looking at the list in hand.

"I hope you have the Spatial Mage Talent." The Elder Wizard waited at the back of the line, eyes filled with expectation as he watched Van, who stood at the end of the line.

Among the batch of apprentices he brought, Van was the most promising candidate to become a Spatial Mage.

If this little fellow didn’t qualify, then this mission wouldn’t yield much profit.

At the front of the line, Van took a deep breath, walked over to the middle-aged wizard, and was about to mimic the previous apprentice by placing his hand on the enormous crystal pillar.

At that moment, a calm voice sounded in his mind: "Once you place your hand on the space detector, in the first to third seconds, your mind will present a twisted space where you’ll need to find the white portal at the center and imagine diving into it."

"From the fourth to sixth seconds, the space will shatter and disorient, and you must think of assembling and restoring it in your mind."

"From the seventh to tenth seconds, the space will automatically return to its original state and spin rapidly. If you fail the first two tests, only holding on to the tenth second will qualify you to enter the Space Faction."

"Got it?"

"Yes." Van nodded, extending his hovering hand toward the crystal pillar.

The instant he touched the crystal pillar, he was instantly pulled into a warped...

"Ah, is that the white portal the Space Mage mentioned?" Van gazed at the white portal in the center of the dark void, slightly startled.

Clearly, the Mage mentioned entering a twisted space, where he had to find the white portal and dive in.

It seemed the white portal was not so easily found, yet how did he discover it so quickly?

"Never mind, just imagine going in." Fully aware he was in a life-altering assessment, Van dared not hesitate and immediately imagined himself diving towards the white.

The next moment, he found himself surrounded by an expanse of white, evidently inside the white portal.

Then the scene before him changed abruptly as if his body was retreating rapidly, with the white portal growing more distant until it stopped at about double the distance from when he first entered the space, moving slightly to the right.

Just as he was bewildered, the voice of the Space Mage reappeared in his mind, now less calm and more amused: "Not bad, you’ve passed the first twisted space test and are qualified to join the Space Mage Faction."

"But this is just the foundation. If you want more starting resources, better benefits, to enter the Wizard Plane, or even the Wizard Tower of Speaker Lole, keep going and show me your limits."

"Remember, this time you only have five seconds to find it."

"Yes." Van instinctively responded, somewhat confused yet excited as he looked at the now very distant yet unmistakably clear white portal.

He was puzzled because his earlier approach seemed correct; the spatial mage assessment appeared surprisingly straightforward.

His excitement came from the promises made by the Space Mage.

Entering the Wizard Plane, even becoming a member of the Speaker’s Wizard Tower, is the supreme honor granted to out-worldly wizard apprentices since the year 1400 of the Wizard Calendar, as Wizard Lawen described.

If he truly gets in, he’ll receive ample resources to nurture him, ensuring he becomes at least a high and mighty Third Ring Great Wizard with a two-thousand-year lifespan.

Suppressing all sorts of thoughts flooding his mind, Van dared not be careless and quickly imagined himself diving into that far-off white portal.

Once again, the scene before him changed as before, only this time the distance between him and the white portal grew even farther.

"Excellent, you’ve passed the second twisted space test."

The voice in his mind now carried a greater hint of amusement, "You now have the qualification to randomly select a Second Ring Space Mage as your mentor in the Space Academy. If you seek even better treatment, continue."

The third time...

The fifth time...

By the time Van entered the white portal for the ninth time, the white portal before him had become the size of a sesame seed.

At the same time, the voice of the Space Mage transitioned from initial delight to excitement, then from excitement to astonishment, and finally from astonishment to numbness: "The tenth twisted space test, if you successfully pass in one day, you will have the opportunity to become the student of Speaker Lole."

Unconsciously, he had changed his wording.

Because even with Van’s current performance, the future ensured him a place among the elite Third Ring Space Grand Mages, not to mention potentially becoming Speaker Lole’s student.

"Speaker Lole’s... student?" Van was stunned after hearing the Space Mage’s last words.

Although his understanding of the Wizard Alliance was limited, he knew full well about the speaker at its pinnacle.

Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that such a seemingly simple assessment would afford him the opportunity to become Speaker Lole’s student.

It’s simply...

Van forcefully contained the burgeoning joy and excitement within, barely sparing some focus to imagine diving into the exceedingly distant, sesame-sized white portal.

At that instant, the ten-meter diameter black crystal pillar illuminated with a burst of black light, swiftly enveloping the entire Spatial Mage Talent Testing Area.

And it didn’t stop there, continuously expanding outward.

It covered the talent testing hall, the center of Rian Academy City, until the entire Rian Academy City was enveloped before it ceased.

"Is this..."

"Has a genius with top-level Spatial Talent emerged?"

"In all the Academy Cities within our Forest Plane, hasn’t this talent appeared for the first time?"

"No, it’s the first time in the entire Wizard Plane, of course, excluding Speaker Lole."

"Well, who’s the lucky one who recruited such an apprentice? They’ve hit the jackpot."

Every wizard in Rian Academy City simultaneously focused their attention on the talent testing hall in the city’s center, filled with astonishment, envy, and jealousy.

However, aside from the Space Academy, no one took any action beyond discussion, fearing the consequences.

The black light screen enveloping the entire Rian Academy City appeared not only to celebrate the emergence of a top-level Spatial Talent genius but also to deter those with ulterior motives.

Anyone daring to act inappropriately at this moment would not see the sun tomorrow.

...

In the meantime, in the top-level study of the Lor Wizard Tower.

Lor added the final stroke to a complex Time Rune, completing it into a whole Time Rune.
