After leaving Gregor's laboratory, Lynn headed straight for the Hall of Truth's Mark in the core area of Bone Spire.
This was the academy's hub for rank certifications, authority assignments, and the handling of important affairs.
Lynn made his way to the center of the hall and gave a slight bow toward the Eye of Rules, which could observe all activity across the Eternal Night Graveyard.
The dark-gold crystal ball rippled faintly, and a cold synthesized voice sounded directly in his mind:
"Welcome to the Hall of Truth's Mark, Lord of Myriad Phenomena. Please state your purpose."
"I wish to apply for second-ring Wizard certification."
Lynn raised his badge and calmly stated his request.
The ripples on the crystal ball's surface quickened slightly as it began identifying the information within the badge and scanning Lynn's condition.
[Identity marker detected: Lord of Myriad Phenomena · Lynn · First-Ring Wizard · Intermediate Researcher] [Soul imprint confirmed] [Life level detection in progress...] [Current life level: Peak Second Ring.] [Soul wavelength: Highly stable.] [Assessment: Certification standards met.] [Authority level elevated to "Level-Two Official Wizard." Soul plaque updating...] [Update successful. Your plaque information has been changed. Please check it yourself.]
Lynn directly activated his Soul-Crystal Plaque.
A faint hum arose from within the plaque. More intricate miniature wizard-array patterns emerged across its surface, and its information storage, identity verification, and certain functional authorities were all upgraded.
"The academy records have been updated. You have now been officially registered as a second-ring Wizard of Bone Spire. The title 'Lord of Myriad Phenomena' has been retained and recorded."
The tower spirit's voice vanished, and the light of the Eye of Rules dimmed, returning it to its suspended state.
The entire certification process was simple and efficient, without any demonstrations of wizardry or advancement missions.
