Passerby Villain In A Wizard World

Once Ron saw that Ian had no plans to make an early visit, he asked everyone to line up and come one by one to test their qualifications. After checking their Ignisia Trial Token, he asked them to insert it inside the circular groove right next to the crystal.

In fact, as long as there was mana inside the crystal, it could always test the qualifications of anyone who placed their hands on it.

However, the crux of the issue here was mana, which was so scarce that it even had to be supplied by the Ignisia Tower itself.

That's why, although there were a lot of people here in Everbright City hoping to get tested and leave this continent, it just wasn't possible, or the possibility was really too low, since by the time the token holder got tested, they might have no chance at all.

Moreover, Ron wouldn't take a large number of people to increase his baggage. As a wizard, he wouldn't do such a wasteful thing.

Hence, the reason why everyone had to enter their trial token inside the groove was so that it would record their qualification. Once they truly entered the tower, it would then play its role.

As the testing started, a boy dressed in luxurious noble clothing with a ceremonial sword at his side and some kind of crest that signified his status hurriedly made his way to the platform.

Then, he bowed to Ron, took out his Ignisia Trial Token as instructed, and inserted it into the circular groove while placing his hands on the crystal.

"Swoosh!"

Suddenly, as he came into contact with it, the crystal glowed slightly, and multiple colors flashed inside the Keystone as three distinct numbers appeared side by side almost instantly.

"Magical aptitude: 5 points,"

"Elemental Affinity, Fire: 4 points, Wind: 5 points, others below the threshold,"

"Mental power: 4 points."

"Hmm, barely qualified."

After looking at the results of the first person, Ron nodded in satisfaction. Although he didn't care whether they qualified, he still had to take some people to the Calvora Continent; otherwise, the mission would be wasted.

"Woah!"

"Okay, take your Ignisia Tower Trial Token and wait aside. I will call for you after the testing is over."

After seeing the result, the noble boy was about to get excited when Ron waved his hand to send him to the side. He didn't have time to allow them to celebrate.

"Next!"

With his swift handling, the testing continued much faster, as one after other flashes appeared in the Keystone crystal. Some were bright, some were dim, and likewise, some became happy while some were sad.

It was a vivid representation of life. There was never the same starting point for everyone.

However, Ian noticed that most of the people with status more or less had enough qualifications to enter the Ignisia Tower. Maybe because they were the descendants of wizards, their qualifications weren't too bad.

The most someone scored was 8 points on all of them, from the royalty of the Velmoria Empire, Prince Ray causing the crowd to go haywire. But since Ian didn't know who he was, he didn't care.

As the testing continued and the crowd became more and more restless, it was finally the time of protagonist Carl, who was in line with Henry and Aurora.

"Next!"

After getting yet another young seedling, Ron was in a good mood.

He already had enough people to complete his mission this time. Now, he didn't care about anything anymore, unless someone didn't want to leave.

"Insert the token here, and place your hand on the Keystone. Just relax your nerves and allow it to check your body."

He habitually instructed Carl.

"Yes."

Carl respectfully bowed and did what was said while slightly looking at Ian below with excitement.

Thinking of what was to come, he couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth as if he already knew the ugly look on Ian's face.

"Kid, can you stop being distracted? If you waste too much time, do you believe that this wizard will kick you out?"

'How immature.'

Seeing Carl's childish provocation to Ian, Ruther was speechless and couldn't help but remind him. Fortunately, his telepathy spell was very covert and wasn't easily noticeable from outside, so he could talk with him without getting discovered by Ron.

"Okay, okay. Old man, why do I feel like you are getting more and more nagging?"

Carl said in annoyance, turned over, and quickly placed his hand on the crystal ball. Although he complained, he was also afraid he would be kicked out if he delayed any longer.

That would be too embarrassing and he was embarrassed enough already.

Just as his hand touched the Keystone at the platform's center and he let down his guard, he felt mana swiftly enter and exit his body.

Then the crystal in front began to flash continuously, much faster than before, while colorful light shone brilliantly, incomparable to any other people who had just tested.

"Woah!"

The crowd also noticed the abnormalities and began to whisper among themselves, as it was definitely a better qualification than Ray. Just the glow from the crystal was much more blinding than anyone else had shown.

"Tch... Show off."

However, someone wasn't in a good mood. The person who was high above was about to get dragged down forcefully, so of course, Ray didn't like it. But he could only complain and do nothing.

"Magical aptitude: 10 points,"

"Elemental Affinity, Fire: 10 points, Light: 10 points, Earth: 8 points, Metal: 6 points, other below the threshold."

"Mental power: 10 points."

Ron said in astonishment as this result really caught him off guard. It wasn't that he hadn't seen such talent before; it was just surprising to find one in this barren land—well, besides Ian, of course.

That person was already a bloodline wizard, or so he believed.

He then looked through Carl with his mental power curiously and nodded with a happy smile.
