Although the Mages' Guild was in Anvilmar City, the sheer number of applicants meant the examination had been moved to specially prepared Examination Grounds outside the city.
Xu Yi entered the Examination Grounds without trouble using his registration Badge. Along the way, quite a few people took the initiative to greet him.
On registration day, hoping to recruit some mages to work for the Xinfei Merchant Guild, Xu Yi had struck up a conversation with almost every mage he met.
Few had agreed, but his friendly manner had left them with a good impression, so greeting him came naturally when they saw him again.
"Hey, Xu Yi, I never realized you were so popular." When Xu Yi squeezed through the crowd, Elwin punched him on the shoulder with a grin.
Xu Yi shrugged. "Can't help it. I'm handsome."
Elwin burst out laughing. "Oh, please. You're an old bachelor, and you still have the nerve to call yourself handsome? Roy and the others would laugh themselves to death if they heard you."
Xu Yi rolled his eyes helplessly.
At Senkohaier Academy, Xu Yi had been much older than these classmates, since he was already twenty-four when he transmigrated. On top of that, he had been too busy adapting to this world to spend any time dating girls, so they had always teasingly called him an old bachelor.
Xu Yi had no comeback for that and could only let them have their fun.
"Where are Rooney and Bob?" Xu Yi asked, looking around.
"They don't have to take the Elementary Examination like we do, so of course they didn't come," Elwin answered.
"Oh..." Only then did Xu Yi remember that the Mages' Guild held its examinations in order of level. The first day was the Elementary Examination, which had no entry restrictions.
