บท 13: War Horn! Magic Transport Vehicle!
บรรณาธิการ: Atlas Studios
Assistant examiner White's words stirred everyone's blood.
Fight! Vicious beasts are not scary!
His sister, Catherine, leaned closer to Austin's ear.
"Don't worry, brother. I will protect you in this exam!"
Catherine said confidently.
Austin's ears felt ticklish as he raised his hand to pat Catherine's head.
"Then I'll rely on you to protect me."
As the assistant examiner spoke, the 'Fire Dragon' vehicle let off a deafening siren.
The soldiers at the station saluted and sent them off.
The steel dragon-like transport vehicle started moving again and left the station.
It was worth noting that the carriages had spherical windows.
From outside, these spherical windows were scarlet red, like the eyes of a dragon-type vicious beast.
Every carriage of the transport vehicle had these spherical windows, adding to its intimidating feature.
Austin and his sister occupied a spot near the window.
Through the spherical window, they could see the rapidly retreating scenery.
Nearby were tracks installed with various defensive magiteks.
In the distance, row upon row of city buildings rose and fell like waves.
The 'Fire Dragon' picked up its speed.
Everyone attending the official exam finally embarked on the journey to Vicious Beast Town.
It would be the starting point of their new life.
Will they rise or fall?
Will they survive or perish?
An unremarkable town would decide all this.
After a while, they could see the city walls.
The tall and magnificent steel city wall had received the order that the 'Fire Dragon' applied to leave the city.
The thick and sturdy city gate split into four pieces and opened quickly like an elaborate vault.
The 'Fire Dragon' transport vehicle drove through a tunnel of the city wall.
These tunnels were all equipped with deadly magic weapons to prevent the beasts from passing through the tunnel and intruding the city during beast tides.
The firepower of the defenses here was naturally astonishing.
There was light at the end of the tunnel.
When the transport vehicle passed through the brightness, everyone's vision became clear in an instant.
The dead and desolate hunting area entered everyone's sight.
It used to be inhabited by humans and once a symbol of civilization.
Now, only ruins and vicious beasts remained.
The apprentice magisters fell silent.
It was their first time out of the city!
Even Austin, who worked in the magical beast breeding area and was used to seeing the destructive capabilities of magical beasts, was left in shock and helplessness.
The apocalypse had destroyed most of human civilization.
Decades had passed since the apocalypse.
Humans have been searching for the truth and origin of the apocalypse, but their efforts have gone nowhere.
The 'Fire Dragon' continued to speed up.
The entire vehicle rumbled and sped along the tracks.
On both sides of the track were towering magic barriers.
In fact, without the magic barriers, there were not many beasts that dared to challenge the transport vehicle disguised as a ferocious beast.
The apprentice magisters in the carriage were either resting with their eyes closed, waiting nervously, or wiping their magick guns quietly.
Only the examiners at the head or tail of the carriage seemed relaxed as they checked the information of the "candidates" with the magick monitor.
They were not only powerful tier-three magisters, but they also represented the powerful factions behind them!
The Thunder Magister Guild.
Faye City Chamber of Commerce.
And the royal family with their famous hunting squads.
They were all big shots of Faye City.
Cass, the Martian Hunter Ankti, and Hika chatted as they read the information.
"There are quite a number of people taking part in this exam."
"Hahahahaha, it's all thanks to the glory of the Thunder Magister Guild and Elder Chuan."
"With such a level of participation, all kinds of apprentice magisters will come here trying to fish in troubled waters."
Hika thought of the lecher at the transport station and snorted.
"There are good ones, too." Cass pointed out.
"The Faye City governor's young master has an excellent magic aptitude, and they have spent a lot to nurture him. I'm looking forward to his performance."
"Isn't Ferras the son of Fath, a legendary tier-three magister? He's probably not bad either."
"I'm more optimistic with Bob. This man is simple and honest who has a solid foundation. He has a powerful wind saber technique."
"Gen isn't bad either. He has a family background and good aptitude. His ancestral Roaming Dragon Movement Technique is almost at the refinement stage."
At that moment, the Martian hunter exclaimed softly.
"There's an apprentice magister named Austin. Have you seen his portfolio?"
"In his apprentice magister assessment, his punching power was over 10,000 kilograms!"
"What? 10,000 kilograms of fist strength!"
Hika cried out.
"Wouldn't that be equivalent to a tier-two magister?"
One must know that the assessment criteria for an apprentice magister were only 500 kilograms.
"He must be born with divine strength. Unfortunately, the information says that this person's magical aptitude is extremely poor, meaning that he can't cultivate magic power."
"Let me take a look."
Hika entered 'Austin' into her magick display and searched.
Soon, the magick display showed Austin's introduction and photo.
"It's him…!"
Hika was surprised.
Wasn't he the lecher dressed in ordinary clothes who'd been staring at her at the transport station?
"10,000 kilograms of fist power? No wonder he is arrogant."
"It's a pity that he didn't have the magic talent. At most, he'll stop at the level of a tier-one or tier-two magister."
It was great to have innate divine strength.
Unfortunately, a human's stamina was limited.
Whether he could break the limitations depended on 'magic power'!
Which high-tier magister did not rely on their magic power to cast an earth-shattering low-level attack spell?
Who could shatter the sky with a single punch?
Elder Chuan looked at the magick monitor and said indifferently, "His family background is notably clean, he had an ordinary life, and he was born with divine strength. It's a pity that his magic aptitude isn't good enough."
"I wonder if he can become the dark horse of this exam."
Austin's information attracted the attention of several examiners.
Unfortunately, it was only a meager amount of attention.
Without the magic talent, he would eventually lose out unless he had a standout performance in the official examination.
Rumble rumble rumble…
The Fire Dragon sped across the wasteland.
After some time, the transport vehicle entered a heavily armed station.
Outside the platform, beasts could be heard from time to time.
They had finally arrived at Vicious Beast Town!
