Chapter 872: Chapter 862 Test

As the night deepened and all was quiet, with only a few tourists burning the midnight oil in their rooms.

Xia Yue, Xia Yu, and Zheng Tang, the three of them had come to the Magic Castle for a functionality test.

Xia Yue took the opportunity to merge the Magic Book House with the Magic Castle, expanding it somewhat unnoticed.

Luckily, there was a slight distance from the other buildings, so this expansion did not affect them.

After the merger, the book house was now located behind the castle.

A small square had been added in front of the book house. Upon checking the introduction of the Magic Castle, it was discovered that the small square was meant for teaching magic.

"Are we going to recruit magicians?" Zheng Tang joked.

"There are magic carpets, magic brooms, and some magic wands and such tools here. Can these be used?" Xia Yu walked around the small square and saw a cabinet by the side, which, when opened, revealed various magic props.

Xia Yue walked over, accessed the castle’s introduction, and found it to be true.

"It’s real. Do I also need to start recruiting students, sending out owls with letters?" Xia Yue, looking at the introduction, found it a bit absurd.

"Summer vacation is approaching. Why not invite some students to come over? We can cultivate some outstanding talents from a young age. It doesn’t have to be just magic; we can accept students with cultivation talent too." Xia Yu, realizing that most students would be on vacation in a few days, thought it would be good to train youngsters to avoid future gaps in talents.

"We’ll need something to test the children’s talents," said Zheng Tang.

"I can redeem some testing stones from the market. We’ll only accept elementary school children. You start by tallying up how many elementary schools there are nationwide, how many per area. I’ll see how many stones to exchange so we can test them before they go on summer vacation.

We will select the fifty with the best talent and character to come and study here, including room and board," Xia Yue said.

"For the rooms in the castle, we can move the furniture around a bit. One room can fit three bunk beds, and we can add two desks and four chairs; freeing up ten rooms is no issue. By that count, we could invite sixty students. We don’t have to worry about food; it’s all covered," Xia Yu quickly calculated the room arrangement needed.

"Who is going to teach them when the time comes?" Zheng Tang felt that was a very important issue.

"For magic, we could discuss it with Sena or Milia. If that doesn’t work, Odeli and the others should be arriving soon, we can ask them for help. For non-magic training, like spiritual power or superpowers, we have so many people here, any one of us could teach," Xia Yue explained.

"Then you negotiate with them. We don’t carry much weight in front of them; you are the master of the Resort Area. You should handle it—the success rate will be higher," Zheng Tang suggested, knowing that probably only Xia Yue had the clout to persuade those heavyweights.

"Understood," Xia Yue nodded.

Once they had decided what to do, they all went back to their work.

Zheng Tang had someone compile the number and specific locations of the nation’s elementary schools and then handed the information over to Xia Yue to decide how many testing stones to redeem.

After receiving the information, Xia Yue glanced over it and handed it to the System, asking for assistance in determining the most reasonable number of stones.

About five thousand testing stones were redeemed. Although each stone cost just ten Cosmic Coins, the total cost was over fifty thousand Cosmic Coins, a significant expenditure. Fortunately, these testing stones could be reused, so there was no need to redeem them again in the future.

Xia Yue passed the redeemed testing stones to Zheng Tang for arranging the assessments, specifying that only elementary school children were to be tested.

The results of the tests were updated in real-time by the System, directly identifying the top sixty with the best talent and good character.

Once Zheng Tang had acquired the testing stones, he arranged for them to be sent to elementary schools across the country. The official statement was to register the talents of the nation’s children in preparation for the new cultivation school, with those showing promise receiving priority for admittance.

All the elementary schools agreed because of this reason, but soon some opposed, feeling that middle school, high school, and university students should also have the right to learn.

Due to widespread protest, it was eventually declared that registration would start with elementary schools, followed by middle schools, high schools, universities, and ultimately anyone else who wished, step by step.

This announcement calmed many, as long as there was an opportunity to be had.

On this side, the testing proceeded vigorously.

In the Resort Area, four days after the portal was set, just as Xia Yue was starting to worry whether Odeli and Ron didn’t want to come or had encountered some danger preventing them, they finally arrived at the Resort Area.

They came in the afternoon, a little past one. Stepping out of the portal and into a room that resembled the castles of Oakes Continent with slight differences, they paused for a moment.

Suddenly remembering what Xia Yue and the others had said, they headed to the first floor to find someone.

"This castle has magic power, somewhat similar to the castles of the Magic Academy," Ron and Odeli observed as they walked.

"Indeed," Odeli nodded.

Soon, they reached the first floor and occasionally saw a tourist or two.

"They dress so lightly, so daringly," Ron said in a low voice, surprised at the sight of tourists in short sleeves, shorts, or short skirts.

On the Continent of Oakes, many women dressed conservatively, except a few from the Beastmen Clan.

Sena, at the front desk, sensed a familiar magic power and immediately thought that people from Oakes must have arrived. She left the desk and approached Ron and Odeli.

"Welcome, Mr. Ron, Mr. Odeli. I hope you enjoy your stay," Sena greeted them with a smile as she approached.

"Oh! Princess Saina, is that you? What are you doing here?" Ron asked, surprised to see her.

"Princess Saina, greetings," Odeli gave Sena a noble’s bow typical of Oakes Continent and greeted her.

"Just call me Sena, otherwise it will attract too much attention," Sena told them.

"Alright, but what are you doing here?" Ron agreed and then curiously asked.

"I am now an employee here. Come with me to register first, and I’ll notify the person in charge of the Resort Area to come meet you," Sena said with a smile.

"Okay," Odeli nodded, not quite understanding why a princess from the Elf Clan would be working here, but seeing no hint of complaint or resentment in her demeanor—only happiness—he knew it was of her own volition and decided not to question further.

At the front desk, Sena registered their identities and gave them a pass that allowed free access to all the facilities in the Resort Area. She also informed Xia Yue and Zheng Tang to come and meet with them.

Xia Yue received the message first and headed over.

Sena had Ron and Odeli wait on a nearby sofa for Xia Yue’s arrival and briefed them on some basic information about this world.
