Li looked at the raised tabletop before him. He was startled for a moment, then gave the old man a meaningful glance. This magic was quite similar to Jura's—it both altered the ground—but compared to Jura's magic, the old man's seemed more suited for warfare. Li had already learned this from August's memories.
Magic on this continent generally leaned toward warfare.
There was one major difference from the main storyline of Fairy Tail. On that continent, there was the Magic Council, which held the power of life and death over most guilds. They prohibited wizards from involving themselves in mundane conflicts. Even if they joined a certain faction, they absolutely could not casually take part in battles between two armies.
Li then sat down like everyone else around him. As soon as he did, dozens of questions slowly appeared on the tabletop. Li lightly tapped the surface, and a mark immediately appeared there.
According to August's memories, the exams had been similar when he enrolled. They were mainly multiple-choice questions, essentially lowering the difficulty of the entrance exam. The device used during the test was also a magic touch panel.
Only by touching it with magic power could one leave a mark on it. Without magic power, it was impossible to leave any trace at all.
This effectively shut out those without magic power.
After glancing over the questions, Li slowly began marking answer after answer. To him, these questions were rather simple. After all, he had read quite a few books during this time, and his understanding of magic had deepened by an unknown number of times.
Very quickly, Li finished every question.
After quietly waiting for the test to end, everyone's score immediately appeared on their tabletops. Li looked at his score and nearly jumped up.
One point!
