“Wait a minute! There must be a mistake somewhere!”

Catherine felt her mind go blank.

It was the exam grounds for official magisters. Why was Austin here?

“Brother, where did you come from?”

“You can’t be here. I can bring you out now.”

Catherine grabbed Austin’s arm and tried to lead him out.

Unexpectedly, with Catherine’s strength as an apprentice magister, she could not pull Austin away at all.

“It’s fine.” Austin stood on the spot and stroked Catherine’s little head. He smiled and said, “Silly girl, I can come in because I’m also an apprentice magister.”

“Besides, I also applied for this year’s official magister exam.”

“What?! Brother, you’ve become an apprentice magister?”

Catherine’s almond-shaped eyes widened in disbelief as she sized up Austin.

She tried to look for signs of lying from Austin’s face.

Austin was serious.

“Is it that difficult to become an apprentice magister?” he asked.

Catherine’s face darkened.

It was rather Versailles1 to be told such a thing by a brother who did not even have the talent to become a magister.

“Even if you become an apprentice magister, it won’t work.”

“You don’t have a combat suit, no weapons, and you’ve barely even prepared. Isn’t this nonsense?”

“Do you have any idea how difficult this exam will be?”

The level of participation was unprecedented.

Since the higher echelon of the Thunder Magister Guild would come, the difficulty would surely increase exponentially.

Austin wore a camouflage suit to take the exam, making it as though he was on a field trip.

Austin smiled casually and said, “How have I not made sufficient preparations?”

“Is this huge bag here worthless?”

Austin shrugged his shoulders and weighed his backpack.

“Brother, what did you bring?”

Catherine was curious about what Austin had brought.

He did not have a combat uniform or a magic weapon. What else could he bring?

She pulled open the zipper of his backpack and took a look. Catherine was dumbfounded.

She stood there like a statue.

Inside Austin’s backpack were pots, bowls, basins, firewood, oil, salt, and some fire magic canisters.

Even worse, a sleeping bag!

Catherine looked at her brother, speechless.

Without another word, she grabbed onto her brother and prepared to leave the train station.

“How are you here for the exam? You’re clearly here for an excursion. What nonsense!”

Catherine was both annoyed and amused as she wanted to lecture Austin.

However, she did not notice that her apprehension had eased a lot.

Austin stood like a nail in the ground as he would not budge against Catherine.

“I heard that some of the Vicious Beast meat is pretty good. It’s not often that we can go to Vicious Beast Town, so we should at least have a taste.”

Catherine puffed up her cheeks and fumed, “You eating Vicious Beasts? I think Vicious Beasts are the ones eating you!”

“Quickly leave. Mom and Dad only have one son. Stop fooling around, okay?”

Catherine became anxious.

Yet, at the same time, she also realized something strange.

As an apprentice magister, she could not even make Austin budge.

Could it be…?

Did her brother really become an apprentice magister?

However, even if he did become an apprentice magister, he did not have any magitek or a combat uniform. He would still be offering his life to the beasts if he went to the town!
