It didn't make people wait too long, and this year's assessment list was announced soon.

President Makarov's gaze paused in the crowd, and he announced loudly, "Natsu Dragneel!"

Natsu, who was qualified for the first time, immediately cheered excitedly.

President Makarov continued to announce loudly: "Grey Folpasta!"

"Julbian Rox!"

"Elfmann Strauss!"

"Kana Arupelona!"

"Lebby MacGarden!"

"Philde Justin!"

"And the last one!" President Makarov searched in the crowd, and then he stared at a member and announced loudly: "Mister Glyde!"

After the list was announced, all the members let go of the volume and cheered loudly.

Those who were selected were proud, while those who were not selected were inevitably disappointed, but they quickly regained their spirits, cheered themselves up, and strived to be selected next year.

As for those members who didn't think they were qualified at all, they were discussing which candidate to support this time.

For a while, the whole hall was noisy.

President Makarov waited for a while, and then "coughed" again, spreading the sound with magic power.

After everyone gradually quieted down, he said in a slightly serious manner: "Although there are as many as eight candidates this year, what I want to emphasize is that the qualified candidates this time can become 'S-rank' wizards. In the end, there is only one person!"

The hall was silent, and then suddenly there was an uproar.

"Only one!?" Lucy couldn't help exclaiming: "Is it so strict!?"

"Quiet."

Ke Wen spread his voice, and then said: "There are still rules to explain."

"That's right." President Makarov folded his hands and said, "For this assessment, you eight candidates are allowed to choose a partner to accompany the examination during the preparation period of the next week."

"There are two rules for choosing a partner. First, they must be members of the guild; second, they cannot choose 'S-rank wizards'."

"Finally, the content of the assessment will be announced after arriving at 'Sirius Island', and this time, all the 'S-rank mages' will participate, and the selected ones will be subjected to an obstacle test!"

"The above is the end of my words."

After the words fell, the crowd became noisy again, and many people exclaimed in disbelief, shocked by the participation of an 'S-rank mage'.

…

After the meeting was over, Ke Wen and President Makarov chatted for a few words, and then they left, planning to go home and hurry up for magic research.

When he was about to walk out of the door, a figure straddled the front.

Gajiru blocked Kewen's way forward, and asked in a low voice with a bit of complaint: "Hey! What are the qualifications for the chosen one!? Why even Jubian got the qualifications, but I didn't! ?”

Ke Wen, who stopped in his tracks, looked at Gajiro, and then explained with a chuckle: "Because you are too withdrawn, how can an 'S-rank mage', as the face of the guild, make outsiders feel that he is not related to the guild? Does it seem to be in harmony?"

Hearing this, Gajeel couldn't help but fell silent, and a reflective look appeared in his eyes.

Ke Wen smiled and stepped forward. When he passed by the other party, he raised his hand and patted Gajeel on the shoulder: "If you want to obtain qualifications, try to love the guild and your companions more."

After the words fell, Kewen directly passed the opponent and walked out of the guild gate quickly.

However, Gajeel quickly caught up again, stopped Ke Wen again and asked unconvinced: "Aren't you lying to me? Then what about that Meister Glyde!?"

"What happened to Meester?" Ke Wen was slightly taken aback.

"That guy is mysterious all day long! I have never seen how much he loves the guild!"

Gajiro turned his head and looked inside the guild. After failing to find the target, he turned back and said, "Besides, I can smell ill intentions towards the guild from that guy! Why did he get the qualification!?"

"That's it..."

Ke Wen was stunned, then shook his head slightly, and responded with a smile: "Okay, but you don't want to tell anyone else about this."

"Okay!" Gajeel immediately promised.

"Meister is similar to your identity." Ke Wen explained in a low voice: "He is also a member of the guild who loves the guild very much. For this reason, he deliberately erased his memory and broke into the 'council' for the guild. .”

After hearing the words, Gajeel, who had no eyebrows, frowned, and said in a low voice, "No, what's with his malice?"

Ke Wen sighed slightly: "Because he has temporarily forgotten his true identity, he now thinks he is a spy from the 'Council' who broke into the guild."

Gajeel was stunned, and after thinking for a long time, he finally figured out the cause and effect, and then he couldn't help but asked in amazement: "Will there be any problems? What if he identifies as a spy of the 'Council' and causes damage to the guild?" !?"

Ke Wen felt relieved that "Jajiru can think about the guild" and raised his hand again to pat the other party's shoulder: "Don't worry, memories can be changed, but magic power can't deceive people. Once there is a situation that is not good for the guild, He will subconsciously side with the guild."

After finishing speaking, seeing that Gajeel had no problem, Ke Wen couldn't help but smiled, and walked away again.

…

…

For the next three days, Kewen never closed his eyes.

In the second half of the night of the third day, Ke Wen hurriedly hurried, and finally successfully figured out the 'program' that he had studied for almost a year.

He directly opened the 'portal door' to enter the closed guild. He took the 'master control terminal' in the bar, passed through the basement, and entered the guild's underground secret room.

At noon the next day, Ke Wen crawled out of the basement.

After drinking three bottles of energy-replenishing 'potions' in one breath, Ke Wen notified Chairman Makarov, then went home to pack his things, and left the town directly.

In the evening, Ke Wen arrived at the guild's holy place 'Sirius Island'.

Before he had time to rest, he immediately started a new job, surrounding the upper and lower islands, and began to arrange the magical enchantment...

The workload this time is huge, because Sirius Island is composed of three parts.

At the bottom is an island base, in which grows a towering tree nearly 200 meters high, and another small island is supported above the crown.

Therefore, if you want to arrange the enchantment, you must arrange it in the way of "combined enchantment", including the upper and lower islands and the big tree in the middle.

Fortunately, Ke Wen had already designed the barrier structure in advance, and he already knew how to arrange the barrier.

Another two days passed, and Kewen finally couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after he had carved the last spell on the ground.

He just stood up, but due to the sudden relaxation of his mental strength, his eyes suddenly went dark, and a severe sense of dizziness appeared.

The body was very weak, Ke Wen finally failed to maintain his balance, and sat down on the ground with a 'plop'.

After waiting for a long time, the severe dizziness gradually dissipated.

However, there are still many small stars flashing in front of Ke Wen's eyes, like 'floaters', and it feels like there are some spots covering everything.

Forget it, it has been six days without sleep.

Ke Wen was extremely tired and took out the potion to replenish 'energy' from his pocket, but he put it back after thinking about it.

Sitting on the ground continued to be relieved for a while, he slowly got up, and while calling out the 'magic screen', he walked towards the distance.

After sending a communication to President Makarov, discussing the assessment, and deciding on the location for him to 'guard the gate', Kewen ended the communication and went directly to the location of the checkpoint.

Half an hour later, Ke Wen arrived at the position where he was going to 'guard the gate', and then found a flat ground in the cave.

He took out the bedding and tried his best to find a place to sleep for himself.

He didn't have time to take off his clothes, so he poured them directly into the bedding, and fell asleep completely in less than five seconds.

Not long after, a small phantom appeared at the entrance of the cave.

After standing quietly and observing for a while, the figure slowly left again.

…

…

At noon on December 15th.

A wooden sailboat gradually approached the 'Sirius Island'.

There is a big fairy emblem on the sail, and on the deck of the first floor, the eight chosen ones and their partners gather together.

At this time, President Makarov jumped onto the fence on the second floor, and after greeting everyone, he began to explain the specific content of this assessment.

He raised his hand and summoned a "Magic Information Board" beside him. President Makarov pointed to the simple map on it and said: "This assessment is divided into several stages. In the first stage, you need to board the Island, and choose one of the eight passages at the 'beacon signal' to enter."

"Only one group of partners is allowed to enter each channel, and only those who successfully pass through the channel can be qualified for the second assessment."

"President, what's in the passage?" Lucy couldn't help asking.

President Makarov smiled when he heard this, and tapped his finger on the 'information board', causing different patterns and characters to appear among the eight passage patterns on the simple map.

"As you can see." President Makarov said with a smile: "Among the eight passages, four are guarded by 'S-rank' members of the guild~lightnovelpub.net~ and the four teams who choose the other four passages , you need to fight each other, and the winner will pass."

Hearing this, Lucy couldn't help exclaiming: "Elusha! Kewen! Kildas! And Sister Mira!? Who can beat them!!"

"No thick thick..."

President Makarov smirked a few times, and then comforted him: "Don't worry, if you want to pass the test of the four of them, you can't just rely on strength."

"Then what should it depend on?" Lucy continued to ask stupidly.

President Makarov didn't explain this time, he just gritted his teeth and shook his head with a smile: "Then, you have to rely on your own wisdom to find out."

After finishing speaking, President Makarov waved his short arm vigorously: "I declare! The assessment begins now!"

Everyone was a little caught off guard. After reacting, they immediately showed various skills, preparing to cross the ocean that was still some distance away and land on the beach...
