Chapter 164: Blue-Level Mission Reward

The not particularly high rank of Second Tier Wizard Apprentice, the relatively rare dual affinity attribute, the nearly extraordinary Charisma talent, and the countless, masterful witchcraft techniques—at this moment, as everyone looked at the seemingly harmless young apprentice girl standing beside the Mercury Vortex with stunning beauty, all present within the Mercury Space, except for the emotionless words of the Bone Sage Gushan-Rav, simply watched Janna in silence.

“Splash—”

The tides surged, and the waves splashed.

Even though Janna had long grown accustomed to being the center of attention, being stared at simultaneously by several official wizards, the invisible pressure from their superior presence still weighed on her.

“Headmaster, I’ve returned.”

Although she didn’t feel relaxed inside, with the help of her [Muscle Control] talent, Janna’s outward demeanor remained calm.

After steadily walking up to Anthony-Rook, Janna lowered her head and gave a respectful bow.

“Your performance this time was excellent. Join the team.”

“Thank you, Headmaster.”

Looking at the apprentice girl in front of him who neither acted arrogant nor servile, Anthony-Rook’s relaxed eyebrows betrayed his satisfaction, though his face remained expressionless.

Not only Anthony-Rook, but also Grace Eva and Mary Margaret, who stood behind him, showed genuine surprise and satisfaction in their eyes as they looked at Janna.

“Looks like this year, White Coral Academy finally claims the top spot.”

Unlike the triumphant White Coral Academy, Blackbone Grove, which should have held the home-field advantage, did not perform as well as expected.

Seeing this, Lucia Heigel, the headmaster of Blackbone Grove, still wore a smile, but her words carried a hint of bitterness.

“It’s just the wheel of fortune turning. To truly assess an academy’s strength, one must look at the total score.”

Listening to Anthony-Rook’s nonchalant reply, Lucia Heigel couldn’t help but roll her eyes in her mind.

“Splash—”

The moment all apprentices left the Secret Realm, the Nameplates on each of them automatically flew into the Water Mirror Spell within the vortex.

In just a few breaths, the Water Mirror Spell, having captured all the apprentices' nameplate data, displayed everyone’s scores on the mirror surface in ranked order.

[First Place: Janna Roland, 3316 Points]

Seeing the prominent name at the top of the Water Mirror Spell, although she had expected it, Janna finally let out a breath the moment the results were officially announced.

[Today’s Mission: Achieve First Place in the “Three-School Joint Examination” (Completed);

Mission Rewards: 500 Talent EXP, 2000 Skill EXP, Perception +0.4, Special Character Talent “Low-Level Toxin Immunity.”]

Silently calling up the System in her mind and reading the description under the blue-level mission reward entry, a trace of delight appeared on Janna’s slightly weary face.

“This time, besides a boost to Perception, I even received a special character talent—”

Perception was also defined as a wizard attribute within the field of mysticism.

Improving this attribute not only enhanced a wizard’s insight and sensitivity but also their ability to sense all things in the world, including the detection of Law energy.

This was especially beneficial for an apprentice like Janna, who possessed [Mystic-Side] summoning talents, as increased Perception would allow her to better perceive the soul Hertz frequency of magical creatures from another world through Soul Echo.

The second reward, “Low-Level Toxin Immunity,” resembled a Constitution-type talent often gained by [Bloodline-Side] apprentices after awakening their bloodline.

Although the immunity only applied to “low-level toxins,” these were actually the most common types of toxins in the wizarding world.

Just like the Mercury Flower used by Mary Margaret in her 《Introductory Herbology》 class during guinea pig experiments—an example of a mildly toxic plant, and one of the rare poisonous plants found in the Misty Forest.

“Janna, you really didn’t disappoint me!”

Looking at the list of the top fifty apprentices shown on the Water Mirror Spell, Vivian, who ranked forty-first, couldn’t contain her excitement and immediately hugged Janna’s arm.

“If I had known you’d beat the second place by over three hundred points, I wouldn’t have given you the Marsh Frog Tongue.”

The apprentice who ranked second in this assessment was Reiman from Blackbone Grove, an apprentice from the Thunder element faction—his total score was 375 points lower than Janna’s.

Trailing just behind him was an apprentice from the Mist Tower, only 35 points short of Reiman, and Hugh Stone ranked fourth.

Not only that, two other White Coral apprentices ranked seventh and ninth among the top ten... Judging by the total scores of the top ten, White Coral Academy still held the first place overall.

“That’s why I said, you have to trust me.”

Seeing Janna’s calm gaze, Vivian only shrugged and dared not press the topic further.

“Among the top fifty, White Coral Academy took up about two-fifths—that ratio seems about the same as in previous years.”

Hearing Vivian shift the topic, Janna’s gaze returned to the Water Mirror Spell.

Among those familiar to her, Lo Silverfox ranked twelfth, Bell Moonshadow ranked thirty-second, and Maro Heigel barely secured the fiftieth spot.

“Headmaster Lucia, now that the assessment is over, shall we take our leave?”

At those words, seeing the undisguised pride on Anthony-Rook’s face, Lucia Heigel took a deep breath and forced a smile.

“Of course.”

“And the rewards for the top ten—”

“They will be delivered within three days.”

As the host of this year’s “Three-School Joint Examination,” Blackbone Grove not only provided the assessment venue but also covered the rewards for the top ten.

Following tradition, the rewards for the top ten in the “Three-School Joint Examination” typically included a top-grade elemental essence with random attributes.

As the top scorer, Janna would receive not only an elemental essence but also an additional reward “carefully” chosen by Blackbone Grove.

This reward could be an apprentice-grade Witch Tool or a rare knowledge scroll.

Though the quality of the prize was guaranteed, whether it would suit Janna entirely depended on Blackbone Grove’s discretion.

“I hope Headmaster Lucia, for the sake of me helping Maro, picks something I can actually use—”

However, upon further thought, recalling how Maro Heigel was repeatedly “hunted” by Blackbone Grove apprentices in the Secret Realm, Janna quickly dismissed that possibility.
