Sylverine said,

“Pay attention. Those things harass new students all semester long.”

He gulped as he looked at the giant wooden dummies.

If a ghoul had the strength to tear a human apart with both hands, a plantera could tear that ghoul apart with both hands.

A being unlike anything he had faced so far.

The knights escorting Elizabeth followed her toward the entrance stairs.

The six masked evaluators remained beside the carriage without following her.

There was a reason for that. They were not to greet the evaluators until after the evaluation, because they had not come for a social gathering.

The evaluation would begin as soon as the preparations were ready.

Sylverine called the butler.

“Introduce the evaluators to the places that can be used for the evaluation. There are places where the ground is solid and there is nothing around that can be destroyed.”

The butler approached the evaluators.

Sylverine greeted Elizabeth.

“Your appearance hasn’t changed.”

“It’s been a long time, Sylverine.”

Sylverine did not demean herself before Elizabeth. She acted as if she were an old friend.

“You didn’t need to travel.”

“I heard you had a student, how could I ignore it?”

“Even if you hadn’t come, you would have seen him someday.”

Elizabeth slightly smiled.

“If I had been able to contain my curiosity, I would never have become a sorcerer.”

“Please come in while we wait for the evaluation to begin.”

Elizabeth looked at him before following Sylverine.

“So you’re Damien.”

“It’s an honor to meet you.”

“I’ve heard about you. I’m sure we’ll have something to talk about after the evaluation.”

Damien was puzzled that she wanted to talk to him. He didn’t know what to say because she had such authority. He hoped his tongue wouldn’t get tangled.

Sylverine told him,

“We’ll start as soon as the preparations are finished, so stay in your room.”

“Understood.”

Sylverine led Elizabeth to an exclusive room.

Lilia, who was walking towards him, was startled when she passed them.

She bowed as she waited for them to pass.

When their footsteps disappeared, Lilia walked over to him.

She pulled a hand-sized potion from her pocket.

“Here is the potion. The recipe is a bit unusual, so you should try it before you drink it. If you drink it right away… huh?”

He drank the potion as soon as he received it. Posted only on NovelUtopia.com

Lilia screamed.

“No!”

She could not understand this behavior. Normally, it would have to be carefully checked for defects. Also, that was a pretty strange potion.

But he couldn’t waste any time.

Lilia was so surprised, she slapped him on the arm.

“My grandmother would have beaten you to death with a stick.”

He calmly replied,

“Thanks. I will reward you for this work.”

The evaluators followed the butler.

A little further from the back door of the mansion, they came to a vacant lot that seemed suitable for evaluation.

Gael said to the butler,

“This place can’t be any better.”

The ground was not evenly level, so it needed to be evened out a bit.

When Gael gestured, the planteras moved. They immediately began to remove soil to level the ground.

Flynn watched the planteras. He had more than one or two questions, but he was not qualified as an evaluator, so he did not dare to ask.

It was evident that this was an exam for a swordsman from the Planteras they had brought. This exam was for promotion to the high rank of the Combat Department.

But the exam was simple. Break through the Planteras’ defense in order to cut the banner behind them. That was all.

The problem was that these planteras were larger than those the students faced. In addition, their physical capabilities were superior.

These planteras were not made for the purpose of an evaluation.

The land of Mount Grace had so much manna, it attracted demonic beasts. The planteras were created to protect Eternia from these demonic beasts.

Eternia Explorers.

A lethal weapon created to annihilate demonic beasts.

It was different from the dolls the students faced.

Moreover, even if Damien could break through all the planteras, he still had to face Flynn himself, the last guardian of the banner.
