The Trade Ritual went smoothly. Of the twelve participants, ten ultimately succeeded!
That was an exceptionally high success rate. Although Isaac had not added anything to their rituals to increase their tolerance for error, he had carefully designed them himself. Unlike the flashy bait circulating elsewhere, their base success rate was already very high. On top of that, Isaac had personally selected their trading partners.
Those partners enjoyed a sterling reputation even in the Mad Witch Market!
With so many favorable factors at work, success came naturally.
Even so, two people still failed, and as rotten luck would have it, both were among the three he had provided—
That was also one of the reasons Isaac had put off starting this experiment for so long. With the interference of an Outer God's power, an ordinary Trade Ritual could never have a hundred-percent success rate!
There was no helping it. Outer Gods were just that stereotypical, that one-dimensional, that cartoonishly evil!
And since he could not create life-saving items on the level of a sixth-tier magic stone himself, he had been forced to postpone it until now.
So far, though, the results looked pretty good.
"That's all it takes to become a Mad Witch? It seems—pretty easy~" Watching the Formal Wizards succeed one after another, Moens looked rather surprised. Wasn't the failure rate supposed to be high? Since when had these Outer Gods become so accommodating?
Isaac rolled his eyes. "Of course it's easy for them. They're using rituals I painstakingly designed. What ordinary Mad Witch gets that kind of treatment? Besides, you should look at it this way: even with Trade Rituals personally designed by a fourth-tier Mad Witch specializing in ritual studies—me—there were still three failures! And these rituals were only first-tier!"
Moens froze, then slowly knitted his brows.
