I will consider it carefully,\" Ron responded cautiously in a quiet voice as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Ron suddenly understood what Andre had mentioned earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those in positions of power, although holding the authority over life and death, often offer proper guidance and help to apprentices with potential, rather than arbitrarily suppressing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holt’s discreet hint was undoubtedly a recognition of his potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So understanding the rules of the School and showing enough potential might be the key to surviving here?\" Ron pondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re a smart person; it seems I don’t need to say much more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holt nodded, with a hint of scrutiny and reevaluation in his tone:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The incident report will be documented, but given that it involved self-defense, it will not have any negative impact on you. The assessment is approaching; I hope you are prepared.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he promptly left the scene with the Law Enforcement Team, leaving Ron standing alone in the blood-stained corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ron took a deep breath and returned to his room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed time to sort out his thoughts and digest everything that had just happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today’s experience once again made him deeply aware of the harsh reality of the Black Mist Jungle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, everyone struggles to survive, driven mad for the sake of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Locke, Emily, Darrend... and many other pale bones he couldn’t see were the best reflections of this twisted reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter how dangerous the environment, ultimately it’s your choices and strength that determine your fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.........\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a secret chamber somewhere within the Black Mist Jungle, a bluish light illuminated the figures wearing white robes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The walls were covered with various-sized Crystal Balls, each displaying different areas within the School.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the Crystal Balls clearly presented the entire process of Ron’s battle with Darrend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seventy-eight points.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A stern-faced Wizard announced, holding a complex scoring device in his hand:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Candidate Apprentice performed quite well, especially when facing such intense Sound Wave Attacks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I give seventy points,\" another elderly Female Witch said, her bright purple eyes fixed on the screen:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although his Swordsmanship and adaptability are commendable, his reaction was a bit slow during the first wave of Sound Wave Attacks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I agree with Yuni’s view.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third Wizard, a tall middle-aged man, nodded and said, \"However, his final fatal strike was very accurate, deserving of extra points. For a Candidate Apprentice, maintaining composure in such a situation is quite rare.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let’s set it at seventy-five points.\" The elder who was leading the discussion finalized the score:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Record his name, Ron Ralph, and consider putting him on the key observation list for next year.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A duty apprentice standing in the corner quickly jotted down the decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Holt had already arrived at the scene with the Law Enforcement Team, checking Ron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Interesting, he should be that new assistant under Allen’s command, I seem to have some impressions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuni Witch raised an eyebrow: \"It seems Old Allen’s judgment is as accurate as ever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Crystal Ball, Holt had left the scene with the Law Enforcement Team and Darrend’s corpse, leaving Ron standing alone in the blood-stained corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He looks in bad shape,\" the stern-faced middle-aged male wizard commented, \"The internal injuries caused by those Sound Wave Attacks are not to be underestimated; I’m really curious whether he’ll make it through the night.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’ll be fine,\" the elder hosting the session said calmly, \"He carries the aura of the Sun, his self-healing abilities should not be weak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Sun?\" This word caught the attention of the other Wizards, \"Have you confirmed it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder nodded: \"Although it’s weak, it does exist, which is why I’m interested in him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then he’s even more worth observing,\" Yuni mused:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In recent years, apprentices with Elemental Affinity have become rarer. If he truly has the talent of the Sun, cultivating him could bring considerable ’benefits’.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the word \"benefit,\" all the Wizards’ expressions turned subtle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speaking of ’benefits.’\" The middle-aged male wizard suddenly changed the topic, complimenting the elder in front:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Vice Dean, you seem to be getting younger these days; it must be thanks to nurturing Corina the Witch decades ago, which brought you substantial ’benefits’.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s why we must keep discovering seeds in the surrounding Mortal Realm...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder, addressed as Vice Dean, said softly: \"A student who successfully advances to Official Wizard status can extend a Master’s lifespan by at least fifty years; I think the Trish that Corina recently found has great potential.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, this is our necessary duty as School Masters.\" Everyone echoed in agreement, some whispering on the side:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Without the ’benefits’ from nurturing students, us old folks would have been devoured long ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s also why we need such an environment,\" the Vice Dean said casually:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Adequate danger and competition can make truly potential apprentices stand out. Just like Oliver a few years ago; in such a life-and-death environment, his inherently poor Spiritual Talent was stimulated to reveal incredible Special Talent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly,\" Yuni agreed: \"True strength doesn’t grow in a greenhouse; only those who have faced true life-and-death tests can unleash their greatest potential.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those children who took Forbidden Potions are also part of this system.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged male wizard added calmly: \"Their failures and deaths precisely provide nourishment for the growth of other apprentices. Survival of the fittest, this is an eternal law.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Vice Dean stood up, concluding the evaluation:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Continue to monitor those on the candidate list, and let the ’Black Vipers’ slow down their activities in the coming days; the number of aberrations has already exceeded our plan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sir.\" The recorder beside him answered respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuni shook her head with a light smile: \"The apprentices probably can’t even dream that the dangerous black market organization they see is merely a tool under our control.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A necessary evil,\" the Vice Dean said calmly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some apprentices indeed die because of it, but more become stronger. Just like what we experienced back then, the survival of the fittest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, let’s adjourn.\" He waved his hand: \"Has the next batch of Spiritual Catalysts arrived?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Already prepared, Vice Dean,\" the recorder replied: \"However, as per your instructions, the formula has been adjusted; the mutation probability of this batch should drop to less than half.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good.\" The elder nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As always, we need competition, but not too intense. After all, true geniuses are rare.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Wizards left, the image within the surveillance Crystal Ball gradually dimmed.\u003C\u002Fp>",1112,"2026-05-29T14:43:43.608Z","2026-06-01T04:29:33.427Z",1,"novelbin.me","d8fdb1b07924fc5692d3bcc9ecd3fc902795fc8b7e226d5dc5ac4a448d33fffb","wizard-unlimited-profession-slots-chapter-25","wizard-unlimited-profession-slots-chapter-23",911,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwizard-unlimited-profession-slots-cover.jpg"]
