Without the aptitude to become a magic caster, there would be no future.

So what if he had herculean strength?

The strength would eventually reach its end!

Elder Chuan wanted to recommend Austin into the Thunder Magister Guild, but Austin’s aptitude was too poor.

Vicious Beast Town.

Catherine stabbed out with her dagger as shining blade glows interlaced with each other. It was as if there were fallen flowers everywhere, and killing intent was hidden within the beauty.

The fast, accurate, and ruthless dagger cut through the corrosive hound’s throat.

“This is a magic technique.”

Austin clapped his hands and praised.

Catherine sheathed her dagger and exhaled.

“It’s a pity that I don’t have enough mana. Otherwise, three corrosive hounds would have died when I cast one magic spell.”

She spoke as she dissected the corrosive hounds. She still could not find any tracking devices.

It seemed like it was another beast that had yet to mature.

Only the adult corrosive hounds were low-level beasts.

Austin said, “Come on. You’re getting used to fighting. We should go deeper into the town of Vicious Beasts.”

Vicious Beast Town was relatively less dangerous when the transport station was nearby.

After all, the royal family was there.

Only by traveling deeper into the town could they meet low-level vicious beasts.

Maybe even the mid-level vicious beast specially provided for this examination!

Austin and Catherine passed through three streets and saw various signs of battle.

There were bloodstains on the roadside, bullet shells, guns, and tattered combat uniforms.

There were the corpses of ferocious beasts and also the corpses of apprentice magisters.

Catherine said nothing with a heavy heart.

That was the cruel reality!

“Run!”

“It’s a mid-level vicious beast, Armored Raging Bear!”

“The team that Young Master Kyle brought was completely wiped out.”

“Mid-level beasts are really not something that we can deal with at all! Even high-level magic weapons are useless against it.”

In the small townhouse in front, there was a constant stream of apprentice magisters fleeing in panic.

The young master of a large financial group whom a particular examiner thought highly of had died inside.

Evidently, this young master wanted to enter the Thunder Magister Guild, thus going after the mid-level vicious beasts.

However, his team got wiped out even though he brought five apprentice magisters and many magic weapons.

Due to the exam regulations, it was impossible to carry better weapons.

Otherwise, why would there be a need for the assessment when the rich disciples could directly use their magic mechas to sweep through the low-level beasts?

“It’s a mid-level vicious beast. Let’s run too, Austin!”

Catherine tugged at Austin’s shirt.

Austin stood where he was, unmoved. Instead, his eyes gleamed.

“Do you want to enter the Thunder Magister Guild?”

Austin stood still and asked calmly.

“Thunder Magister Guild?”

Catherine hesitated.

That was one of the top ten powerhouses in the world, the Thunder Magister Guild. Who wouldn’t want to enter?

Could it be…?

Catherine stared at her brother in disbelief.

“Brother. Please don’t tell me you want to kill the Armored Raging Bear?!”

Generally speaking, a mid-level beast was equivalent to an advanced magic weapon.

The Armored Raging Bear was known for its strength and defense. Nothing could penetrate its armor without the use of high-level magitek to launch specialized shells.

How could any apprentice magister fight such a beast?

Even a tier-two magister’s magic spell could not cut through the armor!

“Austin, I’m begging you. Let’s go.”

Catherine was close to tears.

Bang!

A violent black bear, the size of an elephant, broke through the house and charged out.
