「The next morning.」
Pei Ze arrived early at High Tower Academy.
The gathering point for the trial was the academy's central plaza.
The massive plaza was already overflowing, packed with countless Wizard Apprentices in their robes.
As far as the eye could see, there was a sea of heads.
"Pei Ze, over here."
Hearing the call, Pei Ze looked over and saw Guan Ling waving at him from a short distance away. Beside her stood Shao Hong, Yuan Wanjun, and the others.
Other than him, all sixteen members of the Star Spirit Society had arrived.
Aside from Shao Hong, who had already advanced to Second-level Wizard Apprentice and was certain to pass the trial barring any surprises, the others all wore nervous and apprehensive expressions.
After all, this trial would eliminate a full one thousand people!
And the entire first year only had just over six thousand Wizard Apprentices.
With an elimination rate of nearly one-sixth, they couldn't help but be nervous.
