The Necromancer in the Wizarding World

Time flies, and the day of wizard apprentice selection finally arrives. The air is filled with a sense of tension and excitement.

Archduke Leo stood in the lobby of the hotel, his eyes firm and deep, as if he could see through everyone's heart. He looked around at the boys and girls who were about to embark on the road of selection, took a deep breath, and spoke slowly.

"Today, we will embark on a journey to the wizard selection site." His voice was low and powerful, echoing in every corner of the hall. "I know that each of you is full of expectations and nervousness. But please remember that the result of the selection is not entirely up to us. Qualified wizards will naturally stand out, and those who are not qualified do not need to force it. Keep a normal mentality, cherish this rare opportunity, and do your best. That is the best attitude."

After saying this, Archduke Leo turned and walked out, his steps firm and calm, as if foreshadowing future success. His team followed closely behind him, and everyone's face was full of determination and courage.

They passed through the bustling city, attracting the attention of many passers-by along the way, and finally arrived at a seaside estate on the edge of the city.

The manor was majestic and magnificent, like an ancient and mysterious castle. The gate of the manor was closed, revealing a solemn and mysterious atmosphere, which made people look forward to the upcoming wizard apprentice selection.

A lot of people had gathered in front of the door, some standing and some sitting, waiting quietly. The air was filled with a solemn and tense atmosphere, as if everyone was silently praying that they could pass the selection smoothly.

Grand Duke Leo also joined the waiting line with his team. They waited quietly, expecting the gate of the manor to slowly open in the near future to welcome them into a new chapter in the wizarding world.

Matthews keenly caught the figures of Grand Duke Sochin and Benjamin in the crowd. Unlike his usual high spirits, Benjamin seemed unusually depressed at the moment, with a look of deep loss and confusion in his eyes. Obviously, the fight with Matthews had dealt him a heavier blow than he had imagined.

When Benjamin's eyes met Matthews's, his expression instantly became stiff and unnatural. Obviously, he did not expect that he would lose in that decisive battle, and he did not expect that he would be able to stand here intact after the defeat. This duel not only destroyed his self-confidence, but also made him seriously doubt his own strength.

At this moment, the gate of the manor opened with a bang, and a solemn and mysterious atmosphere enveloped everyone present.

A mighty knight walked out from the depths of the manor. He held his head high and looked majestic, as if he was a hero from an ancient legend. His appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention and discussion.

The knight cleared his throat and announced loudly: "Now, I will call the names of each family in turn. Please ask the head of the corresponding family to come forward with the family token to be checked. Only after passing the check can your family's recommendation person enter the main house to receive the qualification assessment of wizard apprentice."

His words echoed in the air, and every word hit everyone's heart like a heavy hammer. Everyone held their breath, nervously waiting for their family's name to be called.

For those young people who dream of becoming wizard apprentices, this moment is undoubtedly one of the most critical moments in their lives.

When the children of the Byron Empire's royal family were summoned to the main house, everyone looked at them with envy and curiosity. However, when they walked out one by one, except for one person, no one else showed the joy of expectation on their faces.

Obviously, even if one was born into a royal family, it did not mean that one could easily become a wizard. This phenomenon undoubtedly put great psychological pressure on others, who realized that the path to becoming a wizard was much more difficult than they had imagined.

Then it was the Sochin family's turn. Unexpectedly, Benjamin passed the wizard qualification assessment. His face was full of confidence again, and this change surprised everyone.

Matthews was puzzled by this, because as far as he knew, Benjamin had exceeded the age limit for participating in the wizard qualification assessment. Matthews decided to remain vigilant and pay close attention to the next situation.

As the selection progresses, more families and individuals go through the same test. Everyone has a dream, but has to face the cruel reality.

The wizard world does not seem as easy to enter as the legend says, and every step is full of unknowns and challenges. Despite this, those young people who are hopeful and fearless of hardships still move forward firmly, looking forward to gaining the glory that belongs to wizards.

Among the huge family team sent by the Byron Empire, only ten out of more than ninety children passed. This low pass rate highlighted the scarcity of wizard talent.

When it was the Leo family's turn, Grand Duke Leo remained calm and successfully completed the verification process. Matthews, Hunter, Charles, Mary and Adele entered the main house.

Although they tried their best to stay calm, the nervousness and anticipation of the results still made their bodies tremble involuntarily. They knew that their future would be revealed in the next appraisal, and everyone was waiting for the wizard's final judgment with trepidation.

As soon as Matthews stepped into the main house, the surrounding environment changed drastically. He seemed to be drawn into a boundless void and lost contact with everything in the outside world. This sudden sense of isolation made him feel an inexplicable panic, but he quickly adjusted his mentality and forced himself to calm down.

He looked around, trying to find the source of the sound, but there was silence all around, only the sound of his heartbeat echoing in his ears. Matthews knew that this was part of the wizard identification, and he had to stay calm, otherwise he would easily be controlled by fear.

At this moment, a mysterious voice suddenly sounded in the empty space. It seemed to come from all directions, and it seemed to be whispering in his ear. Matthews' heartbeat accelerated instantly. He tried to calm his inner panic and tried to identify the direction of the voice.

"Can you hear me?" The mysterious voice sounded again, clearer this time, as if echoing directly in his mind.

Matthews took a deep breath and immediately replied, "I can hear it! I can hear it!"

"Very good," the mysterious voice responded, "Now, can you see the ball in front of you?"

Matthews saw four balls flashing with a faint light. He answered without hesitation, "I can see the balls. There are four in total!"

"Not bad," the mysterious voice praised, "You have the qualifications of a wizard, spiritual level four. Now, tell me your name."

Matthews was so excited that he almost jumped up: “Matthews Albert, my name is Matthews Albert!”

"Remember," the mysterious voice said seriously, "don't reveal your testing process to outsiders."

"Yes, sir!" Matthews replied respectfully.

The mysterious voice finally said, "Okay, you can go out and wait."

As the mysterious voice gradually faded away, Matthews felt an invisible force gently push him out of the main house. He stood on the stone road again, and the surrounding scenery and sounds became clear. He had returned to the real world outside the main house.

At this moment, Matthews was filled with excitement. He knew that he had successfully taken the first step towards becoming a wizard.
