voice was calm yet carried an air of authority, \"Let's see what you're capable of.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black-haired one beside him shrugged lazily, \"I doubt you'll impress us, but give it a shot anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex barely paid attention to their words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was well aware that these so-called Grand Mages thought highly of themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that didn't matter to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he mumbled under his breath, but not enough for them to not hear it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm stronger than you two anyway... but fine, I'll show you one spell.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was all he needed to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His goal wasn't to reveal too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anything, he had to be careful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was always the chance he'd have to fight them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if that happened, he didn't want them to know the full extent of his power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he had to choose his skill carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when considering that, there was only one real option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Celestial Judgment].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a spell of overwhelming strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So powerful that even Grand Mages considered it difficult to control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the best part was that they all likely knew about it already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was one of Arceus' abilities, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meaning it wouldn't come as a shock that someone other than him could use it, especially since they knew he was his apprentice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anything, it would be the perfect way to make an impression on them without giving away anything crucial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence filled the air for a few moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two [Grand Mage Judges] ignored Alex's previous remark about being stronger than them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought was ridiculous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impossible, even.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There wasn't a single individual they had tested who had come close to their level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So why would this be any different?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet… they were intrigued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That confidence, where did it come from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright,\" the black-haired one said again, this time, with a grin that hinted at a more sinister side, \"But if you disappoint us, just know… we'll burn you to a crisp instantly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe we should try another method this time,\" the silver-haired Grand Mage sighed, shaking his head, \"Burning them gets boring after a while.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their words weren't threats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were statements of fact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So far, every test had ended in disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not because the ones they judged were necessarily weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because the gap between them and a true [Grand Mage] was simply too vast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some had potential, sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But potential didn't mean anything if they weren't already strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn't care for those who could be powerful one day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They only cared for those who already were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why no one brought apprentices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were 53 Grand Mages in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And of them, only 9 or 10 ever considered taking students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even those few wouldn't bring their apprentices to this test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a death sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a place where only the strongest survived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex took a deep breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then turned and began walking toward the mansion's exit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two judges followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They obviously weren't going to allow the test to be conducted here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Alex truly planned to demonstrate something worth watching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would need to be done in an open area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stepped outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, do it,\" they said in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes sharp as they prepared to observe every detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mana control, power, casting time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything mattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grab your staff and cast the spell,\" the black-haired one instructed, folding his arms, \"We're waiting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex gave a small nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unlike them, he obviously didn't need a staff as his [Crown of Calamity] had absorbed it already, allowing him to use spells with his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of reaching for a weapon, he simply joined his hands together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, a golden aura erupted from his body, radiating power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, dumbass, we said grab your staff,\" the silver-haired Grand Mage groaned in annoyance, \"Are you deaf?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait,\" The left judge's eyes suddenly widened, \"Something's… wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they could even process what was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky above them shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clouds darkened, twisting unnaturally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, twelve holy blades appeared from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Descending one by one until they hovered around Alex in perfect formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Mages froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell…?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had seen [Celestial Judgment] before, sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That wasn't what shocked them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the way Alex used it, the sheer mastery behind his movements...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they could speak, Alex focused on the blades, making them shift in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a single one fell out of sync, and his control was absolute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blades moved as though they were an extension of himself, not just an ability, it was beyond perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this enough?\" Alex asked, his tone casual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if he hadn't just displayed something that should've been impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Grand Mages stared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh…?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's a trick, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they weren't even focused on the spell anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Celestial Judgment] was powerful, sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what actually caught their attention was something else entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you just cast a spell… without a staff?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex blinked, \"I mean… yeah?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The fuck?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only known exception was...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The only other person who can do that is the [Grand Mage Master], and he still uses his staff, since using magic without a staff weakens it...\" the silver-haired one muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's not normal, dude. It has to be a trick.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What trick? He literally just used Arceus' ability in front of us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their debate continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Alex had already lost interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can I go now?\" he asked, tilting his head, \"When does the meeting start?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That snapped them back to reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? O-Oh, yeah. You can go. That was… impressive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The meeting starts in twenty minutes,\" the silver-haired one added quickly, \"We should get going too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex gave a small nod and turned back toward the mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he walked up the stairs and entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The [Grand Lobby] was large and elegant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive red carpet stretched toward an enormous double door at the end of the room with a screen above it displaying a countdown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[19:27 minutes before the meeting.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room itself was decorated lavishly: golden chandeliers and several servants carrying plates of food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear that the [Grand Mage Order] was a place of prestige.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Alex wasn't interested in any of that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he glanced toward the upper floors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A staircase beside the meeting room's entrance led upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it wasn't the smartest move to explore right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too many eyes were on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And speaking of eyes...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, who's that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did he actually pass the test?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were Grand Mages gathered in the hallways and resting areas, casually eating as they observed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their presence alone was enough to make most people hesitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were some of the strongest individuals in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Alex looked at them, his instincts told him one thing: he could beat them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he ever made a mistake, he'd have to fight all 52 of them at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at his current level, that wasn't something he could handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in a one-on-one?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, that wasn't his goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not now, at least.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meeting was what mattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, after taking in the scene for a few minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his gaze back to the large red doors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[9:48 minutes before the meeting.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was time to see what the [Grand Mage Order] was truly about.\u003C\u002Fp>",1236,"2026-06-03T12:12:47.112Z","2026-06-03T12:12:55.153Z",1,"novelbin.me","c4d64bc2b526c8859ed2736e66e792887ab69d2396e31da97a3da3094bddd511","awakening-reincarnating-with-the-sss-level-extra-chapter-511","awakening-reincarnating-with-the-sss-level-extra-chapter-336",516,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fawakening-reincarnating-with-the-sss-level-extra-cover.jpg"]
