The magic power level assessment lasted five days, and nearly all the newly enrolled students successfully met the required standards. Next, the academy would assess the students' spellcasting abilities and research capabilities. This stage required each student to choose a spell they excelled at and demonstrate it, evaluating their mastery of magic and practical application skills.
During this assessment, Ang got a glimpse of the diverse magical skills possessed by the other students. A wide variety of spells appeared in the arena: lightning-fast Flash Burst Techniques, sharp Water Arrow Techniques, defensive water shields, sturdy earth walls, ever-shifting Quicksand Techniques, blazing fireball spells, keen Wind Blades, and more. The display of these spells made Ang feel the powerful atmosphere of the Imperial Magic Academy. Every student demonstrated considerable strength.
Ang chose to demonstrate the fireball spell he was most familiar with. Although the fireball spell was quite difficult for magic apprentices, Ang cast it very steadily thanks to his solid foundation and high affinity with the fire element. The fireball gathered in his hand was about the size of a fist. Yellow-white flames swirled continuously around it, radiating heat and light. Ang focused completely on controlling the fireball, keeping it burning in midair. About a minute later, as his magic power gradually ran dry, the fireball began to tremble slightly before finally going out. He knew that this was the limit of his magic power.
The other students also displayed their respective magical skills. Although the spells varied, everyone was able to cast theirs completely, showing off their magical proficiency. However, the effects and power differed from person to person. Some students' fireballs exploded with blazing intensity, while others were relatively weak; some water shields were incomparably sturdy, while others appeared rather fragile. Ang's fireball spell stood out among his peers
