"Good. 【, error-free chapters reading】"

Ferrat's face betrayed no emotion, but the veins on his forehead twitched.

He nodded.

Ferrat didn't know if the boy was truly ignorant or deliberately provocative.

But it doesn't matter.

Just evaporate him for now.

In the sky, head examiner Farrat slowly opened his palm, each movement of his fingertips like an unquestionable and unchangeable rule.

Suddenly, his eyes became as deep as the starry sky, and around him, a powerful magic was gathering, preparing for a grand magical ceremony.

As Feralt's lips moved in a complex and arcane chant, the air around him suddenly grew hot, thick with the scent of volatile fire magic.

A wave of invisible magic swept across the entire grassland, howling and rolling up huge gusts of wind.

In this moment, the emerald tips of the grass beneath him began to turn a sickly yellow and brown, as if consumed by Ferrat's scorching magical energy.

Even without using magic cards, Ferrat's innate spells were enough to easily obliterate the two of them.

But.

Underestimating weaker opponents is not a wise move.

Ferrar understands this well.

The only way to upset the higher ranks is through "unique mechanisms".

For example, high-damage counterattacks can be deadly even for advanced players. It's easy to get caught off guard and suffer defeat.

Before Ferlat came along, no matter what intelligence resources he used, he couldn't find any record of Lanche having any combat experience.

As clean as a blank sheet of paper.

Unlike others, Lanchi's thinking often deviates from the ordinary, which makes Ferlatte instinctively wary.

That's why he wasn't willing to attack Ranchi proactively at first. A big part of the reason was his worry that it might trigger a counterattack or some kind of special mechanic card.

> It would be best if we could persuade him to leave through words.

But since this kid is determined to stir up trouble, there are plenty of ways to deal with him.

For example, give this boy named Lance a good death experience, letting him slowly die in pain as the flames burn him.

Furthermore, Ferrat was also very sure that this duchess would never yield.

In this world of artificial shadows where death holds no sway, after burning away Lynch, this unpredictable element, there will be ample time to deal with her unilaterally later.

On the distant grassland.

Feeling the searing breath of danger closing in, Hyberlian's eyes flickered as he faced Feralt, who had finally made his move. He seemed to have discovered something.

"Ferrat should have been guarding against you retaliating, but we can't hold out against his third-level magic for long!"

Hubert whispered quickly.

She discovered that the spell Ferrat was currently chanting was not a fifth-level area of effect damaging spell.

but it's a third-level sustained area effect spell that deals less damage!

"Rest assured, I told you I'm a specialized white mage."

In the midst of the conversation, a magic card appeared in his hand.

When Ferrat began to chant the spell, he already had a countermeasure.

This magic card, crafted using the Demonic Poison principles taught to me by Talia, is finally ready to be used.

……

In the conference room.

Even though most teachers barely felt there was much suspense about the outcome of this exam.

But at this moment, he was paying close attention to the battle situation again.

"Is this Ranch fellow finally going to make a move"

Teachers have long been curious about how Ranch could be applied.

White mages, due to their spell structure with a treatment magic percentage exceeding 70%, are only recognized as having job abilities. They tend to be specialized in healing magic.

The remaining few spell slots will provide the team with various forms of aid.

If a spellcasting structure is specialized for a functional purpose, it is often not classified as a white mage during career assessment. Instead, it is categorized as another auxiliary profession due to the proportion of spells used.

So all the teachers knew that Lynch carried a lot of healing spells.

... but I don't understand what kind of school of thought Rancy is, and what other card positions are besides healing spells.

Even if he brought a spell with a control effect, he could only interrupt Ferlat's casting once.

And with his rank, it's highly likely he wouldn't be able to influence Ferrat at all.

The teachers were huddled around the magical screen, discussing intently.

Often, the harder the control, the more difficult it is to apply.

For example, hard controls like dizziness and freeze are impossible for a level 2 Lance to inflict on a current level 5 Ferrari.

The only possible way to interrupt a cast spell with control magic is through [Silence].

But Ranchi's Silence, a mere instant's effect on Ferrat, allowed him to restart his spell immediately.

The battle on the screen continues.

Teachers know this is probably the wave that will decide the outcome.

If the Lanches can get across, then there's still room for further strategic maneuvering.

But if there are no countermeasures, then it's over!

The spirit of flame buried deep within the earth's veins, please unleash the fury of magma.

When Ferrat was chanting the spell in ancient human magic.

The singing voice abruptly ceased.

His gaze swept across the room coldly, settling only on Lance's hand holding a magic card that shimmered with purple haze.

Clearly, Lance used this [purple rare] quality spell card to interrupt his incantation.

Ferrar's expression was cold, but his face showed no emotion whatsoever.

……

"He really is using a silence spell."

"While it is true that we can disrupt Fera once, this is merely a temporary solution."

The senior professor, observing from the meeting room, sighed with admiration.

Even if it's a second-order purple quality card, to silence a fifth-order Ferret, it can only last for a moment before automatically dissolving.

And such spells that inflict silence are often accompanied by a lengthy cooldown.

Feralath will be able to cast spells again soon.

At that time, the ending will not change at all!

Just when the teachers were about to give up and stop watching.

One second has passed.

Two seconds passed.

Five seconds passed!

Ferarri still can't speak up!

Even Ranch wasn't nervously standing around with his arms crossed, like a seasoned veteran watching the head examiner, Ferlat, in the sky.

"What"

"Why could you stay silent for so long"

"What kind of card could have such a powerful 【Silence】 effect Impossible!"

It's just a purple rare second-order spell card, even if it defied the heavens, it wouldn't be possible to control the fifth-order state of Ferat like this!

At this time, it wasn't just Ferrat's expression of shock on the screen.

Even the teachers watching from backstage in the conference room finally realized the seriousness of the situation.

"I ※!!"

Accompanied by gasps.

Teachers finally saw that the backend successfully identified and displayed the properties of the card that Lanchi just used!

On the magical screen's projection.

"Uh oh!!"

Ferlat wanted to question Lanci, but could only make strange noises.

He also understood at this moment.

He can no longer continue chanting his spell because of that strange arcane card that Lanci just interrupted him with!

Damn it, this isn't silence at all.

But—[Muted]!
