C15 Why Can't I Act Cool

"What if I'm not right?"

"You might die from poison or something like that."

"No, I'm just joking." Riko took out a bottle of black medicine from her pocket. "This is a Detoxification Potion. Anyway, after you drink the other bottle, immediately drink this thing. Even if this is the world's most powerful poison, I can still guarantee that you will be fine."

"Alright, I will believe you this time."

Old Merlin took the two bottles of medicine. On the one hand, the Back Ring Potion made him feel that he owed Riko a big favor. On the other hand, if this thing succeeded, the improvement it would bring him would be unimaginable.

He did not hesitate and opened the cork of the bottle and drank a big mouthful.

"This thing is really hard to drink."

This was the first feeling he had after drinking it.

He didn't know why, but most magic potions with positive effects were especially bitter. The difficulty of the potion was proportionate to the intensity of its effects. At the same time, those things that were designed to harm people, such as the Fear Potion used to force confessions, and the Disperse Potion used to seal magic power. Not only would they emit an alluring fragrance, but according to those who had tasted it before, Their taste was sour and sweet, comparable to a drink.

"Do you have any special feelings? Do you feel like your body is full of energy or something like that?"

Old Devil Instructor closed his eyes and meditated for a while, then shook his head.

"No. I didn't even feel the effects of the medicine."

"Forget it. Drink the Detoxification Potion first. I'll go out for a while."

The Detoxification Potion looked like ink. It smelled like some kind of disgusting bile. It was said that its taste was also extremely strange. At least Old Merlin grimaced when he drank it, as if he was drinking poison.

While Old Devil Instructor was using sugar black tea to rinse his mouth, Riko was flying across the sky above Hagerstown. Not long after, she stood in front of Magic Guild's door again. Because she suddenly remembered that she had money now and could go and do a level certification.

The one who received her was still the sleepy slit-eyed mage from last time. Just like last time, he said listlessly, "What do you want to do?"

"I'll do the level certification."

"Five gold coins"

Riko took out five gold coins from her purse and stuffed them into his hands.

The pervert-eyed mage finally slightly opened his eyes and looked at Riko from head to toe.

"Elvin? There is a little girl who wants to do the level certification. Take her there for a while."

His words were too weak, as if he hadn't eaten for a few days. However, he added a trace of magic to his voice, so even though his voice wasn't loud, But unexpectedly penetrative. A few seconds later, a thin young mage came down from the stairs.

The young mage called Elvin looked Riko up and down. He rolled his eyes and said something.

"Come with me."

Riko followed him.

Along the way, Riko could not help but ask the mage named Elvin out of curiosity. After she answered a few questions, he was a little annoyed.

"Why do you ask so many questions? It's just a level certification."

Riko shrank her body and did not dare to continue asking.

In the end, the first step of the level certification procedure was to fill out a form.

The questions inside were basically all related to magic. Apart from the name and age, there was no need to fill out the family address. It made Riko worry for nothing for a long time.

This theoretical knowledge was naturally simple to Riko, so she put down the pen and handed over the paper in less than ten minutes.

"Are you sure? You don't want to check anymore?"

She shook her head.

The young mage's eyes showed a hint of disdain. He was very familiar with these questions. In the past, the difficulty gradually increased from the beginning to the end. The final part was already at the level of Great Mage knowledge. Looking at this young girl who was only over ten years old answering questions so quickly, there must be a large number of questions that she did not even do.

Even though he disdained her, he still had to bring her along to complete the following procedure.

Elvin brought Riko to a room with various magic protection formation array painted on the wall. An exquisite transparent crystal ball was placed in the middle of the room. Other than that, there was nothing else in the room.

The young man yawned and spoke impatiently.

"You continue to pour magic into the crystal ball, how long can you last? Put your hand on it."

Riko reached out and pressed on the crystal ball.

The ball did not suddenly appear with words of her magic level as she had imagined. It only slightly lit up, but there was no other reaction.

Elvin stood by the side, looking listlessly at the gray-haired girl pouring magic into the ball. In his opinion, no matter how talented a magician was, at Riko's age, it would at most be at the level of an apprentice magician. Presumably, she would not be able to sustain the continuous output of magic power for long. Persisting for two minutes should be her limit.

In the end, five minutes passed. When Elvin looked up again, he found that Riko didn't have the slightest intention of stopping.

After an hour, the gray-haired girl had already sat down on the ground out of boredom. She casually placed one hand on the crystal ball and half-closed her eyes as she yawned.

Opposite her, dozens of people from the Hagerstown's Magic Guild, including the president and Vice President, were all squeezed into this small room. Dozens of pairs of eyes were staring at her.

"Can I stop now? It's so boring."

Riko felt a little impatient. This crystal ball was really meaningless. She could continuously pour magic into the ball for an entire day without any decrease in the total amount of magic in her body.

So after an hour of continuous output, the gray-haired girl finally took her hand away from the crystal ball. Then, she patted the robe on her body and stood up.

The dozens of mages who had been staring at her for half an hour were still in a daze. Finally, an elderly mage reacted first. He pointed at Riko with a trembling voice.

"Sixty-three minutes. How is this possible?"

Apart from a few spells that required continuous supply of mana, most spells only required a moment of mana output. A minute of continuous mana output was enough to support over a hundred of those kinds of spells. And sixty-three minutes of output time was basically equivalent to an endless amount of mana.

Moreover, the grey-haired girl seemed to still have some spare power...
