I rubbed my eyes, which hadn't been closed all night, and looked at the purple mist appearing on the horizon. I patted my bed and woke up Little White, who was sleeping soundly, causing her to fall off the bed sheet. She half-awoke and climbed back onto the bed, curling up and falling asleep again.

I got out of bed and put my hands on Emile's side.

"Emile! The next step is to make me a intermediate mage!"

"Hmm..."

She lazily lay on the bed, turned over, shook her hand with her back to me.

"No."

"You said in a firm tone... I thought you would suddenly tell me that I had surpassed intermediate."

For the first time in her life, she rolled her eyes at me.

"Ahem, sorry, I thought too much..."

"It's okay," Emile sat up and stretched lazily, propping up her chin, looking at me with a smirk, "Speaking of which, I thought you would be depressed for a while longer." "My life creed is to let go of everything I should let go of, like that kind of thing, I..."

I pretended to answer with a relaxed tone, but my voice became weaker and weaker.

"Okay, okay, I won't stimulate you anymore. Anyway, it's impossible to become a intermediate mage in one day. Besides, you can't even be considered a low-level one right now."

"Is that so!?"

I probed Emile's knowledge through our contract connection.

Hmm... the basis for dividing mages into levels isn't very complicated. It's not about breaking through some bottleneck or absorbing magic from the air to a certain extent.

It's based on assessments.

From being a magic apprentice to a low-level mage, one must have a certain degree of mastery in all kinds of magic. The assessment is basically about reciting spells and casting magic according to the examiner's questions. You only need a certain amount of magic and knowledge.

The requirement for a low-level second-tier mage is to be able to release a relatively powerful low-level magic of a single system.

To advance to the third tier of the low-level, you must master the low-level advanced magic of four or more systems.

However, to advance to the intermediate, you must have a good understanding of all the low-level magic, master all the low-level magic of all systems, and release intermediate magic with external assistance.

And for me, to advance to intermediate and see the lord in the assessment, I need to meet this condition within a day.

"Although I directly became a high-level mage and don't know when I was called a saint-level..." Emile casually revealed an envy-inducing fact, "But I still know something about the assessment. They will randomly select ten first-level magic, five second-level magic, and two third-level magic from all the low-level magic to test you."

"......all......"

Almost every series of low-level magic has hundreds of spells, although the ones that need to be assessed are mostly common spells. However, when you add up all the common spells in the entire series, it should be in the thousands...

"If you can pass this, it's almost considered a success," Emile shrugged and made a V gesture towards me. "The rest is for you to demonstrate your ability to release intermediate-level magic. After you complete all of them, then it's a real success."

It all feels unexpectedly real...

"Releasing intermediate-level magic is very simple. The difficulty lies in remembering those thousands of common low-level spells. A large part of people can't enter the intermediate level because of this."

"If it's a random assessment, isn't luck a big factor? Like getting a spell that you're good at..."

"Luck is also a form of strength. By the way, how many low-level spells do you know now?"

"Um..."

Ice cone piercing, small fireball, silencing spell, light body technique, light mist spell...

Emile looked at me as I counted on my fingers, and sighed helplessly.

"To be honest, if I reveal my identity, the lord will have to listen to me. After all, I'm the president of the Magic Guild Association, even if it's only honorary, it's much higher than the president of the Elysis Branch."

But what we need to do is not to question him with an extremely high status, but to challenge him as a commoner living in Elysis, to deny him.

It may seem confusing to some, but this is the best solution I can think of.

"Also, even if you see him as an assessor, you're not a local of Elysis, right?"

"......Huh!?"

Come to think of it, it is true!

I was silent for a while, and forcefully lifted her blanket.

"Anyway, it's not right to use power to suppress people! He will definitely find a way to get by! If it's that easy to see him, how will the story develop!?"

Ah, strange, what am I saying...

"Anyway! Help me think of a way to pass!"

"Okay okay ❤~. I really can't resist you," she raised her eyebrows and thought for a while.

"Then... cheat!"
