She finally had the opportunity to advance to the third-level apprenticeship, a dream that had been budding in her heart for many years. Portraits of mentors were hung on the walls of the classroom. Each of them was an outstanding apprentice and now became the pride of this place.

"Nathalie, are you ready?" Kyle asked softly, his eyes wandering around Nathalie's face, as if trying to see something from her expression.

"Of course, I can't wait." Nas' voice was full of anticipation, her eyes sparkling. She gave Kyle a confident smile, although she was still a little nervous.

"I heard that the assessment for third-level apprentices is very strict." Kyle frowned, obviously a little worried about this. "Are you ready to face this challenge?"

"I have learned some details about the assessment from my seniors, and I will do my best to deal with it." Nasi straightened her chest and was determined, but she also knew that it would not be easy. The assessment is not only a test of knowledge, but also a comprehensive assessment of ability and skills.

"If you need help, remember to come to me." Kyle patted her shoulder, his eyes full of encouragement.

"Thank you, Kyle. You always care about me." Nas felt warm in her heart and turned to look at the other side of the classroom, where several classmates were happily discussing the upcoming test.

As time went by, the day of the examination finally arrived. Nas stood outside the examination room, trembling slightly. The door of the examination room was closed, and through the glass window she could vaguely see the scene inside. Several instructors in white robes were gathered together, whispering to each other.

"Don't be nervous, take a deep breath." Kyle whispered behind her. He stood beside Nas and seemed to feel her nervousness.

"I know, but I'm still very nervous," Nasi said, trying to remain calm.

"Remember, you've been preparing for this for a long time," Kyle encouraged. "No matter what the result is, you are my pride."

Nas smiled slightly, and the tension in her heart eased a little. She finally mustered up the courage to walk to the door. Every step was like stepping into an unknown area, and she was both excited and afraid.

The moment she opened the door, she was startled by the atmosphere in the examination room. The instructors sat behind a long table, examining her. The table in front of her was covered with all kinds of test questions and props. She could clearly feel her heartbeat getting heavier.

"Please take a seat." The head tutor in a grey robe spoke in a low and dignified voice. Nas nodded slightly and walked to the seat and sat down.

"Welcome to the third-level apprentice assessment, Nasi." Another young female instructor smiled, as if trying to ease the tense atmosphere. "Today's assessment is divided into three parts: theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and comprehensive ability. Are you ready?"

"I will try my best to prove myself." Nas replied, trying to make her voice sound firm.

"Okay, let's begin the theoretical knowledge test." The head instructor flipped open a test paper, then looked at Nas and asked, "First question, briefly describe the basic principles of alchemy."

Nas immediately got into the state, and the knowledge she learned in class flashed through her mind. She took a deep breath, organized her words and answered: "The basic principle of alchemy is to transform basic elements into other substances through chemical reactions. This process requires understanding the properties of various materials and the appropriate reaction formulas."

"Very good." The female instructor nodded and said, "Next question, explain the difference between real metallurgy and fake metallurgy."

Nas continued to answer, trying to demonstrate her knowledge to the fullest. During the one-hour test, she gradually relaxed, followed the instructor's pace, and answered all the questions to the best of her ability.

"The theory section is over, and next is the practical skills assessment." announced the head instructor.

At this time, Nas's palms were already slightly sweaty. The practical operation was both a challenge and an opportunity for her to show herself. She stood up and walked to the experimental table under the gaze of several instructors, where various materials and instruments were placed.

"Now, please demonstrate your alchemy skills," a young male instructor commanded.

Nas took a deep breath and began to carefully observe the materials at hand. She kept recalling the details of the previous practice in her mind and tried to calm herself down. She first weighed several materials according to the proportions, and then carefully mixed them together.

"Remember, master the time and temperature of each step." She said to herself. As time went by, Nas became more familiar with every detail of alchemy, and her movements became smoother. She was confident in every operation, and everything in front of her seemed to become clearer.

"Good, keep it up." Kyle watched intently outside the examination room, silently cheering for her. Although he couldn't enter the examination room, he believed that Nas would do well.

After a series of complicated steps, the final product was presented to everyone. Although it had not been confirmed yet, Nas's face was already filled with joy.

"The last part is the comprehensive ability assessment." The head tutor continued. Nasi was a little nervous, wondering what this part would be like.

"Please answer the following question. What are your plans for your growth and future during this period?" The head tutor stared at her, expecting her answer.

Nas thought for a moment, raised her head slightly, and said with a firm look: "During this period of study, I not only learned a lot of professional knowledge, but more importantly, I learned the meaning of hard work and persistence. I hope to continue to improve my abilities, become an excellent alchemist, and help more people."

"Very good, thank you for sharing." The male tutor smiled and nodded.

After an intense and fierce test, Nas finally walked out of the examination room with mixed feelings. Kyle was waiting outside the door, and when he saw Nas coming out, he immediately went to greet her.

"Nas, you performed very well. I saw every step you took in there." His face was full of appreciation and pride. "No matter what the result is, this experience will be a growth for you."
