Volume 3 Chapter 120 - Rare earth resources (1/2)
As an Eighth Grade Magician, it was the fundamental requirement to grasp High Grade Spells.
Because he studied magic machines, Xu Yi excelled in Wind Magic, so what he demonstrated to Great Magician Telucci was the high grade version of Wind Magic, Lightning Magic.
Lightning Magic’s essence was speed.
Not only was the magic as fast as lightning, it also increased the speed of the spell.
To pass the Eighth Grade Exam, one had to display an Eighth Grade Lightning Spell without any hindrances at all.
Not only did Xu Yi demonstrate the “Chain Lightning Spell”, the “Explosive Thunder Spell”, and the “Purgatory Lightning Net” in front of everyone, his speed was incredibly quick and he didn’t pause at all in the middle.
Seeing him demonstrate these three spells, the surrounding magicians all had shocked and natural looks on their faces.
They were shocked because Xu Yi had such good control of Eighth Grade Lightning Spells. They were natural because Xu Yi was at the Eight Grade like everyone had guessed.
Only Bucares was stunned looking at Xu Yi, only showing shock on his face.
This young kid that didn’t seem like a magician was actually an Eighth Grade Magician!
Bucares was fifty two this year and he didn’t have confidence that he would pass the Eighth Grade exam this year.
Compared to Xu Yi, he was simply living like a dog at his old age!
Thinking of this, Bucares gave a sigh and silently left the crowd. He was prepared to depart while no one noticed him.
But Xu Yi had already noticed him. Seeing that he was leaving, he loudly called out to stop him.
With Xu Yi’s call, the other magicians noticed what Bucares was doing and understood what he was thinking.
Thinking of everything Bucares had said, the other magicians immediately began taunting him without any mercy.
Bucares was dejected, but he didn’t have the mood to refute them. He looked at Xu Yi and shook his head, preparing to leave without caring about anything.
Xu Yi pulled him back.
“Magician Bucares, it’s hard to make this trip. If you go back now, wouldn’t you be wasting this chance?” Xu Yi said.
Bucares saw the honest expression on Xu Yi’s face and thought that after this fellow acted as a magician for too long, did his acting become this good?
Could it be that he didn’t know that the reason he was suffering today was because of him?
“It’s embarrassing to stay here, let it be a wasted chance.” Bucares shook his head. He waved his arm, wanting to throw Xu Yi off.
Xu Yi firmly held his arm and wasn’t willing to let go. He even took a step forward and said in a low voice, “It’s fine if you waste your own chance, but do you want to waste the chance of the Mirando Duchy?”
Bucares looked at Xu Yi with a stunned look.
Xu Yi revealed a faint smile, “After the exam, I want to have a talk with you. I’m very interested in the Mirando Duchy. If possible, perhaps our company can cooperate with the Mirando Duchy, changing the lives of the citizens living there.”
Bucares looked over Xu Yi with knit brows. He really couldn’t see any fakeness in his actions, so he turned around after hesitating a bit.
Seeing that he changed his idea, Xu Yi let go of his arm with a smile.
Xu Yi and Bucares had been talking in a low voice and Xu Yi had used Wind Magic to form an insulating barrier, so the magicians around naturally couldn’t hear what they said. They just saw that Bucares had changed his mind after Xu Yi had said a few words, deciding to stay at the exam, so they couldn’t help expressing their admiration.
Because Xu Yi had kept Bucares here, the other magicians couldn’t just keep insulting him, so the exam proceeded very smoothly.
After half an hour, everyone finished their exams. Bucares wasn’t very familiar with the three Eighth Grade Spells he used, but Great Magician Telucci gave him a “barely passed” grade, allowing him to pass the exam. Bucares’ mood became much better and when he talked to Xu Yi, it was his first time revealing a smile.
“Chairman Xu, I just talked to a few other magicians and understand a bit more about your Frestech Chamber of Commerce. I have to say that I’m sorry, I underestimated your company before.” Bucares said in a sincere voice.
Xu Yi was a bit surprised, but he quickly waved his hand, “This isn’t anything big, there’s no need to worry.”
