The Shadow Valley apprentice test and sacrifice lasted for four days.
During these four days, not only the low-level and entry-level apprentices, but even Sain, an intermediate-level apprentice, was suffering.
Fortunately, after the four days passed, a formal Dark Magician appeared and said that the danger of the Space-Time Rift would be greatly reduced.
Otherwise, people would doubt whether this kind of suffering would drive them crazy.
It is worth mentioning that a small incident occurred during these four days.
On the third night, a low-level apprentice named Tianti found out Sain's tent location somehow and sought refuge with him.
In fact, until the end of the fourth day, more than four hundred entry-level apprentices were not exhausted, and there were still about thirty or forty people left.
It was far from the level of consuming low-level apprentices.
Sain had not dealt with Tianti much in recent years.
Mainly, this woman has always wanted to get close to him, so much so that Sain regretted why he had to do extra things in Master Colonso's anatomy class back then.
It was either last year or the year before that Tianti was promoted to a low-level apprentice, indicating that she still had some talent and potential.
But no matter how good her talent and potential were, she was only a low-level apprentice.
In the precarious environment of Shadow Valley, without a mentor or any other strong person to provide shelter, she could only grit her teeth and come to Sain for help.
In fact, in the past two or three years at Dark Magic Academy, Tianti has indeed saved a lot of trouble and prying eyes thanks to Sain's name.
This is also an important reason why she can seize the opportunity to quickly advance to a low-level apprentice.
It's just a pity that this time, Tianti didn't even get to see Sain's face and was almost hurt by Senior Sister Faye's Blade of Flame Chains.
A scorched section of hair was Faye's warning to Tianti.
In Shadow Valley, every apprentice is a precious resource, so the Dark Magicians strictly prohibit fighting to the death, unless the other person is trying to escape Shadow Valley.
Sain got beaten up, but Tianti finally stopped bothering him.
As you can see, the best way to deal with a woman is with another woman.
...
On the fifth day of Sain and the others' arrival at Shadow Valley, after testing the last batch of entry-level apprentices in the magic altar, Vice Dean Dadalon finally announced that it would be up to the aspiring Magicians next.
During this time, Zoro, the big Senior Brother, made a lot of preparations, and because of his spatial equipment, his opponent's spatial equipment was far bigger than Sain's.
Sain even saw his opponent take out a portable mini-alchemy station.
A few disposable magic arrows were the result of Zoro's efforts during this period.
As the other party's Junior Apprentice Junior Sister, Sain and Faye were lucky enough to each receive one.
"Unfortunately, the time is too short, and the alchemy environment here is too simple, otherwise we could make higher-level magic arrows." Zoro sighed.
Each magic arrow made by Zoro contains an Intermediate level magic.
Combined with related Magic Inscriptions such as Sharpery, Acceleration, Wound Ripping, and Toxin Invasion possessed by the arrow itself, although it is a disposable item, it is definitely a small masterpiece among Intermediate level magic equipment.
Under the dual pressure of life safety and will to survive, it seems that Zoro, the big Senior Brother, has made a new breakthrough in the field of Alchemy.
After making these disposable magic arrows, on the sixth day, Zoro, the big Senior Brother, entered the magic altar and never came out.
Sain tried to contact him with a crystal ball, but there was no response from the crystal ball from beginning to end.
Since Zoro, the big Senior Brother, was the last batch of aspiring Magicians to enter the magic altar, it was also on that night that Vice Dean Dadalon announced that the next group to enter the magic altar would be the Advanced apprentices.
The order of apprentices entering the magic altar, from high to low, marked a significant decrease in danger.
Otherwise, the academy wouldn't have wasted those rare top-tier apprentices.
Almost all of these apprentices were disciples of formal Dark Magicians.
It was also on this night that Senior Sister Faye barged into Sain's tent.
"You know, Senior Sister, you!" Sain, who was meditating, was caught off guard by Senior Sister's fiery red lips.
"No one knows what's on the other side of the Space-Time Rift, let alone if we'll come back alive."
"Today might be our last chance, so you better satisfy me!" Faye said to Sain.
Senior Sister's words made Sain less resistant, but he still reminded her, "Bosch is still near the tent."
"I sent him away. At least tonight, that fatso won't ruin our fun."
"Hurry up, your little girlfriend is probably anxious." Faye chuckled softly.
Sain's battle with Senior Sister Faye was exhilarating and lasted for two hours before she finally left, satisfied.
As Senior Sister Faye left the tent, Sain's official girlfriend Lena walked in.
The air inside Sain's tent was somewhat murky.
Upon entering, Lena, with her small face, frowned.
Unlike Senior Sister Faye, Lena did not have insatiable desires, and she did not plan to do anything with Sain tonight.
In fact, she was a bit worried if Sain could handle it.
After all, the sound was so loud that she could vaguely hear it from another tent.
Including their usual sex, it seemed like Faye had lasted longer.
Sain was also quite exhausted at this time. Satisfying Senior Sister was a physically demanding task every time.
It was nothing like making love with his girlfriend Lena, which was like a "Blending of Water and Milk" and a collision of emotions and consciousness.
Unlike Senior Sister Faye, who only provided bodily and sensory stimulation.
If given the choice, Sain would definitely prefer to stay with Lena.
Although Lena is smaller than Sain, sometimes Sain would act like a child and curl up in Lena's arms.
As an Intermediate apprentice who has adapted to the cruel life at the Dark Magic Academy, Sain is still just a big boy at heart.
On this particular evening, Sain didn't do anything with Lena and hardly said a word as they embraced.
Listening to each other's heartbeats, the two of them could feel each other's thoughts.
They just silently held each other until the next day was about to begin.
When the magic clock of Shadow Valley rang, signaling Lena's departure from the tent, Sain grabbed her hand and gave her one of the five magical tools Mosido, their mentor, had given him.
It was a short staff that could instantly release an Advanced magic - Storm Arrow.
Lena was about to refuse, but Sain kissed her and silenced her before she could say anything.
"We have to see each other alive again in the future, you know that?" Sain said to Lena with deep affection.
Lena knew how many magical tools Sain had received from their mentor, Mosido.
So, faced with Sain's affection and gift, she finally nodded and accepted it.
