The students gathered in the square were directed to the assessment stone by the teachers of the various divisions so that they could be tested individually.
Qi Xia, Yan Yu, and Yang Xi had returned to their various groups, and Tang Nazhi and Shen Yanxiao joined the group consisting of first-year students of the Herbalist Division.
On ordinary occasions, shamans rarely made contact with appraiser stones because they were not trained in battle aura or magic. The majority of the students were curious about the gigantic stone two or three meters in front of them.
"Road over there and put both hands on the rock." A teacher from the Herbalist Division pointed towards the Magic Stone behind him. Since the test was to search for a witch, they used Magic Stones for the test. Therefore, the Aura Stone used to test the battle aura did not appear.
The first student walked nervously towards the Magic Stone, and carefully placed his hand on the stone.
Magic Stone did not react to his touch.
The disciple did not know what to do, so he looked at the teacher. He thinks something's wrong.
"Next." The teacher did not find anything wrong. They were the Herbalist Division, not the Magus Division or the Priest Division. Which shaman can juggle other additional professions? What joke. Therefore, the majority of the shaman students would not be able to cause any reaction from the Magic Stone. It also means that no first-year students are trained in other professions such as Magus or Priest.
Most shamans do not have fighting abilities. They only needed to concentrate to produce the potion. They would leave battle-related problems to those who came to them to buy their potions.
Since nothing out of the ordinary happened, the students from the Herbalist Division accelerated the test. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of students had passed the examination, and nothing abnormal was detected.
Soon, Tang Nazhi and Shen Yanxiao arrived at the front row. As he looked towards the Magic Stone, Tang Nazhi muttered, "Fortunately, it's not the Aura Stone."
"What about Aura Stone?" Shen Yanxiao looked at Tang Nazhi in confusion.
He immediately shook his head to show that there were no words. Immediately after, he stood in front of the Magic Stone under the urging of the teacher and confidently placed his claws on the stone.
As expected, there was no reaction from the Magic Stone.
Tang Nazhi shrugged and walked to the side and waited for Shen Yanxiao.
Although he looked calm and collected outside, his internal emotions were not so calm. Xiu only mentioned to rely on her, but he had no idea what she wanted to do. If he were to lay his hands on the Magic Stone, would it blow up his identity?
Shen Yanxiao tried to communicate with Xiu one last time, but regardless of how she called him in her mind, she did not answer him.
"Don't tell me that bastard's getting cold?"
‘You can't go back at this time!’
"Students, hurry." The teacher urged him impatiently when he saw Shen Yanxiao was dragging her feet.
Since it was impossible to stop halfway, Shen Yanxiao could only brace herself to walk up on the stone while praying that Master Xiu would not disappear on her at that crucial moment.
As he stood in front of the huge Magic Stone, Shen Yanxiao took a deep breath and raised her hand to place it on the stone gently.
He felt an ice-cold sensation in his palm, and he could faintly see a faint black light spreading from his palm.
His heart was pounding, and his eyes were trembling.

Xiu's voice echoed in his mind.
"Don't worry. I'm here."
Magic Stones did not even fluctuate in the slightest. It remained in its faint and dull appearance.
"Alright, next student, please." After he was sure that the Magic Stone did not react, the teacher continued to hunt down his students. He did not even believe that a witch would hide herself as a shaman. After all, first-year students had undergone rigorous tests before they could enroll in the Herbalist Division. How do magicians have the energy to research curses and simultaneously learn about herbs?
Therefore, the teacher was not at all suspicious of Shen Yanxiao's doubts. He thought that the child looked like a typical thirteen-year-old. He might not be able to break through to become a rank six Magician, let alone a mage.
Shen Yanxiao sighed in relief and hurriedly left from the Magic Stone.
Tang Nazhi, who was standing at the side, chuckled and held onto her shoulder as he teased her, "Why are you so nervous? Look at the tightness of your face! "
Shen Yanxiao involuntarily touched her face. She was nervous because she did not know if Xiu would help her. Fortunately, the teachers in the Herbalism Division did not see anything out of the ordinary.
"It's the first time I've seen a Magic Stone, so I'm a little nervous." That was the truth since he had indeed never seen a Magic Stone in his entire life.
Tang Nazhi laughed heartily and patted her on the shoulder.
"Isn't it just a broken old stone? However, as a shaman, I don't think you will have the chance to touch him again in the future. "
It would be best if he did not need to touch her in the future! Shen Yanxiao secretly felt relieved. She didn't know how Xiu could achieve it, but she was glad her identity wasn't revealed.
Since there was no problem with their tests, Tang Nazhi and Shen Yanxiao were allowed to leave the public square.
Shen Yanxiao immediately hid the sheepskin book in the space ring when she reached her dormitory. Since the academy suspects the existence of a witch, she must eliminate all traces of her deeds. He did not want to face a similar situation in the future.
Shen Yanxiao and Tang Nazhi gathered so much information as they went to look for food at night. Exams for other students at the Academy last until the afternoon. However, the result was not something they expected. Every student had been standing in front of the Magic Stone, but none of them showed any signs of abnormalities on the sone. Therefore, the identity of the witch was still undiscovered.
The teachers were confused by the results, and the students were very nervous. According to rumors, the dean left with a frown after he heard the results.
Shen Yanxiao felt that her problem would not be left alone. Ouyang Huanyu would probably think of another plan to catch the culprit.
It seemed like he had to be extra careful during that period, and he also had to avoid the use of curses.
After the witch crisis, Saint Laurent Academy officially started their classes the next day. Shen Yanxiao and Tang Nazhi had also collected their long purple robes.
With a badge affixed to their chests to indicate that they were part of the first year students of the Herbalist Division, Shen Yanxiao and Tang Nazhi headed to the classroom.
Many students have arrived in large classrooms. Shen Yanxiao and Tang Nazhi managed to find a seat at the back of the room, and they sat there.
The teacher who would teach them the basics of herbs was a fifty-year-old man. He entered the classroom with a tense expression on his face, and hence, he looked quite firm.
"Although you're in this class now, don't assume that you'll be here forever. Over the next three years, you will experience a variety of exams. Only those who can maintain their superiority during this exam will be able to continue to be in this class, "the old man said firmly.
