It was only when the light reflected off of the dazzling yellow crystal that Kiel’s gaze once again focused on the exam He had never seen a yellow mana crystal before Mana crystals were usually either blue, red or purple Their color depended on the structure of the crystal that the crystallizer produced

Technically speaking, the crystal could be of any color, however, since the type of e of the crystal and couldn’t be deteric imposed a rule on mana crystallization that stated that crystals had to be colored based on the mana type they held inside Blue for transmentation and purple for pure mana

The fact that the crystal in front of them was yellow, clearly stated that the crystallizer was neither issued nor certified by the association of Magic It was custom-made

“If there are no questions, then we can start the exao first?”

When the question was uttered, Kiel immediately took a step forward to volunteer However, mid-step, he noticed that someone had already volunteered

It was one of the males in the roo everyone staring at hi back at s, as if he was fighting an internal battle with himself, he caved in to peer pressure and walked towards the crystallizer

Kiel’s eyebrows furrowed If the guy had done it just to spite hi strange about his behavior It was as if he ended up volunteering accidentally

But how do you volunteer accidentally? Did his legs give out ht moment?

Internally, Kiel chuckled and shook his head Well, whatever The test would only last between 5 and 10 minutes

Kady Ailert and Rau Eryey proceeded to usher people out of the roo the exam to stay in the classroom They explained that the crystallizer doesn’t differentiate between mana of different people, so it was a
