I Got 999 Level With One Cut

After the airship stopped on the landing platform, Riko walked down the ladder. There were already people waiting on the platform.    

    

One. A middle-aged man who looked like he was wearing an exaggerated outfit stood there and slightly leaned over to greet her.    

    

"Your Excellency Heather Gava, it is my honor to have you here. I am Mayor Alfonso Dell Bonarotti, and I represent the Sardinia royal family to sincerely welcome you."    

    

A follower at the side carried a small box containing magic jewelry to Riko from somewhere.    

    

"This is a bracelet made by Master Bruno of our country in his early years. It is made of soft mithril. It is inlaid with some small magic gems. This is a small gift that the royal family has ordered me to give you. Please accept it "    

    

Riko revealed half of her face from behind Meiko's shield and timidly blinked her eyes.    

    

Meiko felt that it was somewhat funny as she took the thing for her and stuffed it into the young girl's palm.    

    

"There is nothing to be afraid of, there is no need to hide."    

    

That was why the silver-haired girl stood out a little.    

    

The Roman revealed an embarrassed and polite smile. "Then, Your Excellency Heather Gava, please follow us."    

    

Riko and Meiko followed the person down the spiral staircase that circled around the landing platform.    

    

There was already a carriage waiting there.    

    

"The whole magic test will take about seven days. We have already arranged a place for you to stay..."    

    

After the carriage left the airship port, it headed straight to the southeast.    

    

Along the way, the manager of Rome had been tirelessly explaining the entire magic level assessment process to Riko and Meiko.    

    

Basically, it was him who was talking. Riko just blinked and listened.    

    

For so many years, almost all mages had to come to Rome once when they broke through to the Ninth Rank and obtained the title.    

    

In theory, other than some big cities like Lotterdall and Brucedahl in Aldran, they also had the ability to measure the level of Ninth Rank mages.    

    

However, Lotterdall had just been occupied by Westfalen for a period of time. Although the cities had not suffered much damage, the fire had destroyed a lot of the testing grounds used by senior mages. Even if it could be used, it could only be used to measure a low level Titled Devil Instructor who had just broken through to the Ninth Rank...    

    

Besides, no matter where it was tested, it would eventually come to Rome. He would carve his name and title on the Titled Stone Wall. This was a tradition that had existed since twenty thousand years ago, and it was also the most important honor for all Titled Devil Instructor warriors.    

    

Therefore, in terms of receiving powerful mages, this city could be said to be very experienced.    

    

Of course, not everyone who came here could be personally welcomed by the mayor... Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to do anything...    

    

The carriage drove all the way and the mayor also followed along.    

    

The assessment of a peak Titled Devil Instructor was relatively complicated. At least, it was much more complicated than Riko's assessment of the Great Mage back then.    

    

Otherwise, it wouldn't take a week.    

    

This was because a mage's breakthrough could only be detected by the person himself.    

    

For example, after advancing from the Ninth Rank Level 7 to the Ninth Rank Level 8, other than the mage himself, it was impossible to determine that he had reached a new level through some kind of change that appeared on his body.    

    

This week was used to carry out all kinds of tests, from testing the destructive power of a static target to fighting with other mages in actual combat. It was also required to explain some classical magic theories.    

    

In this week, the group of more than a dozen senior mages from the Magic Guild headquarters in Rome would give the Titled Devil Instructor who participated in the test as objective as possible in this regard. To determine the level of this person in the end.    

    

Sometimes, there would be a huge gap between the judges' judgment of a mage's strength. Just like last time when Elsa came to Rome to obtain the title, there was a huge disagreement among the judges. There was a distinction between Ninth Rank Level 1 and Ninth Rank Level 4 for her. In the end, she chose Level 1 based on her self-proclamation.    

    

However, to Riko, there should not be any suspense in this aspect.    

    

She defeated Sage Analysis, Max, and his friends in Antwervib, and even sent the Westfalen fleet to the sky. This was enough to push the girl to the Eighth Grade Titled Devil Instructor without any suspense. Now, the final question was whether Riko should be at the Eighth Grade or the Level 9.    

    

This was a question that the whole world was still arguing about. Some mages thought that the destructive power of the Day of Destruction had exceeded the Ninth Rank Level 8, and those who opposed it thought that there were only four Ninth Rank and Level 9 mages in the world. Each of them had great prestige. Considering Riko's contribution to the world of mages was still relatively small, she hadn't had time to publish her theses yet. And so, she gave them a rank 8 spell.    

    

More importantly, the silver-haired girl had not made her stance clear yet. Riko had never said how strong she was.    

    

When the mayor explained the entire matter, the carriage stopped at the destination.    

    

"We are here. This is the place we arranged for you to stay for the next few days."    

    

Riko gently lifted the curtains on both sides of the carriage and poked her head out.    

    

What entered her eyes was a white building that was as tall as a castle. It was firmly hung on the precipitous terrain by the sea. The endless blue Mediterranean stretched all the way to the end of the sky. The coastline was bent in this direction. If he opened his eyes wide, he could barely see the small city built on the cliff in the distance.    

    

"This is the summer shelter palace built by Elf Queen Angelina fourteen thousand years ago. The entire building is suitable for maintenance and under the influence of the enchanted Time element magic. It is still roughly the same as when it was built, including the furnishings inside. This is the property of the royal family, and it is mainly used to entertain important foreign guests. I hope you'll have a good time here."    

    

"... Wow."    

    

Riko opened her mouth but she did not know what else to say besides this one word.    

    

It was simply...    

    

Poverty limited her imagination.    

    

"Then, I shall take my leave."    

    

Mayor Roma did not express anything in response to the silver-haired girl's exclamation. Instead, he bowed in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.    

    

"If you need anything, please inform the butler. The level assessment will officially begin tomorrow. There will be a carriage coming here in the morning to receive you. Of course, if you feel that it's too slow, you can fly over yourself..."
