Volume 2 Chapter 110 - I like taking risks (1/2)

Because the first day of the certification exam was for Primary Grade Magicians, there would be many people who wanted to become certified magicians, so naturally there were the most people.

So compared to the first day, when it came to the Second Grade exam on the second day, there were much fewer people.

Of course, it wasn’t that much less.

According to the stats of the Lampuri Kingdom Magicians Guild, there were currently close to two thousand Primary Grade Magicians in the kingdom. The ones that felt they were strong enough to become a Second Grade Magician each year was over a thousand people.

Xu Yi and Still arrived at the test site outside the city together and saw that it was a very noisy scene.

With the current ability of the two, of course they wouldn’t participate in this Second Grade Magician exam. They specially came to cheer for the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s magicians who were currently participating.

The Frestech Chamber of Commerce had recruited close to three hundred magicians and other than the forty six who worked at the magic research facility, the rest were Third Grade or lower magicians who all worked at the factory drawing Magic Arrays.

These magicians that entered as factory workers to do simple work either didn’t have good talent and couldn’t raise their strength by much, or they have poor families and didn’t have the financial resources to support the growth of their magic power. So their power gain within a year wouldn’t be too fast.

But for each magician, even if they knew that their power couldn’t reach the requirement, they still wanted to find a way to participate in the certification exam each year.

Other than having the hope that they could pass by luck, they also could come into contact with more colleagues and experience the atmosphere of large amounts of magicians gathering together.

For many magicians, the certification exam each year was more like a large conference for magicians.

So when Xu Yi gave the researchers their vacation, he also gave the workers of the factory the same seven days off to let them participate in the certification exam.

Although there were too many magicians and even if Xu Yi was generous, he couldn’t afford to let them all stay in the expensive Sheldon Inn. So he gave each person a subsidy of twenty gold coins and provided them a ticket to Anvilmar City and a ticket back to Banta City with the Fersen Carriage Company.

Even like this, it caused many of the magicians to feel gratitude towards Xu Yi.

It had to be known that because their levels were too low, the magicians couldn’t rely on their magic to earn money. This meant that the trip to Anvilmar City each year was quite the expense for them.

Now not only did the Frestech Chamber of Commerce give them vacation pay, they also gave them a subsidy. These really were good work benefits.

So even if Xu Yi didn’t say anything, these magicians would have already mentioned this to the colleagues they already knew and the colleagues they just met. They would all brag about the special treatment they received from working at the Frestech Chamber of Commerce with proud faces.

When Xu Yi and Still appeared at the exam site, the Frestech Chamber of Commerce’s magicians immediately noticed the two of them and in a short amount of time, this news passed through the exam site.

Xu Yi and Still instantly found that almost all the eyes of the magicians on the exam site were focused on them.

The two of them were used to being stared at, so Xu Yi asked Still with a smile, “Still, your charm really is too much. Look, even these magicians who are usually mesmerized with studying can’t help being attracted to you.”

Still shook her head and doubtfully said, “That’s not right, why do I feel like they’re all staring at you?”

“At me? What is there to look at with me?” Xu Yi gave a shrug. His eyes swept over the magicians from the Frestech Chamber of Commerce and when he was about to raise his hand to greet them, he found a familiar figure among them.

After Xu Yi was stunned, he quickly went up and asked with a smile, “Hey, Erwin, I thought that you were participating in tomorrow’s exam. Why are you here today?”

This familiar figure was Xu Yi’s old classmate Erwin from the Senkaiser School.
