At this Potions Competition, Rhodes didn't intend to involve Rowling, just let her watch from the sidelines.

According to Rowling's ability to learn, she was able to master the techniques of Potions in a short period of time, and even then, Rod had no intention of letting her play.

The purpose of Rod's participation in the Potions Competition, when he was able to hide his identity well, couldn't help but have some changes.

At this time, under the gaze of the man from before, Rhodes also came to the venue, briefly sorted out the materials he brought, and began to refine the potion.

The man noticed that the position where Rhodes was staying was only where the material was being crude, not where he had been refining directly.

Compared to the other magicians around him, Rhodes did not have anything special about his handling of potions, except that he was more proficient.

If the man hadn't known Rhodes' true identity beforehand, he might have just mistaken him for an ordinary mage.

The man looked at Rod's movements, and saw that Rod's did not seem to show stronger strength to have an impact on him, so he couldn't help but feel relieved.

Each necromancer achieves this in a different way than the one assigned by the Guild, and this man has a variety of methods for refining potions, and begins to show his strength in the preliminary stage.

As they progress through the Potions race, their influence grows until they take on the identity of necromancers and fulfill the Spirit's purpose.

In the process, even if they don't win the potions competition, the influence they have will not go away, and that's what the Guild wants to see.

However, for Rod, this approach does not make much sense.

Rhodes had already expected that due to the large number of places where the academy event was held, in addition to the Ice Blue Spell Academy, there were also many necromancers like this man in other locations around at this time.

The purpose of the Spirit Society can be achieved by relying on this group of necromancers. According to Rod's memories of his previous life, the championship of the potions competition was not won by these hidden necromancers, but in this case, the influence of the necromancers still spread, and it was in this way that they relied on it.

Therefore, Rod's attention is more focused on the rewards of the Potions Competition, and if there are no special circumstances, Rod will not show his strength like this man.

Soon, Rhodes was able to refine crude potions. Among the large group of mages around him who also refined potions, Rhodes was extremely inconspicuous.

The refining of crude potions is considered the most basic item in potions, and only after this step can the refining be carried out.

For this kind of basic potion refining, although Rhodes intends to hide his strength, he will not make any mistakes.

After handing in the crude potion that had been refined, Rhodes also got a mark used to prove his identity, but it was extremely ordinary, and after injecting mana, Rhodes was considered to have completed this initial test.

In the initial test, since there were no requirements for the quality of the potion, this crude potion could be considered completed, and Rhodes did not refine it.

Seeing Rod return to his original position, the original man was completely relieved, and after looking away, he no longer paid attention to Rhodes' position, and instead looked at the other mages in the field.

Unbeknownst to the man, Sock, who was in charge of managing the entire Potions competition, was also observing him while he was observing Rod's every move.

Once the man had shown great skill, Sock began to observe the man's every move, hoping for some useful information.

Sock was extremely observant, and in the process of observing, Sock also realized that the man was keeping a close eye on one of the players on the field, it was Rode.

After discovering this, following the man's gaze, Sock also paid some attention to Rod.

Sock noticed that Rhodes had only completed the crude preparation of potions, and had not even refined them, so he counted himself as having completed the initial attempt. If it weren't for the fact that the man had been keeping an eye on Rod, Sock would have even ignored Rod entirely.

Although he was a little uncertain in his heart, Sock still made a complete note of Rod's appearance, and if Rod really had the strength, then in the next Potions competition, Sock would definitely notice Rod again.

Sock knew that that skilled man would not pay attention to an ordinary mage at will, and there must be something in Rhodes that he didn't know.

In order to ensure that there are enough members within the students to enter the finals of the Potions competition, Sock, as the administrator, also has to make a note of the mages who are extremely good at Potions, so that the rules of the competition can be selected later.

Rod obviously didn't expect that he would be noticed by Sock just because of the man's attention.

At this time, although Rhodes had completed the initial test, the number of mages who came did not decrease, but increased.

The Potions competition can attract these mages around you very well, even if you don't have the ability to participate, you can get some gains through the process of watching the game.

As the initial test continued, some anomalies began to manifest, and the smell of potions began to spread throughout the grounds, despite the constant circulation of the air through the area by mages.

And this, after the powerful mage made a move, was finally alleviated, just through the mastery of breath magic, all this smell was dispelled.

Originally, after completing the initial test, Rhodes planned to return immediately, but after seeing that Rowling seemed to be very interested in what was happening on the field, he stopped here to observe the mages refining potions on the field.

On the side, Elon, who had briefed Rhodes on various situations before, saw that Rhodes would not return for the time being, and after saying a word, he walked over to the location where the other mages gathered.

Since it was only the first attempt, there were very few mages who made potions like the man, and most of them only finished the crude preparation and turned in the potion.

Looking at the techniques of these mages around him to refine potions, Rhodes could deeply understand how they were different from the previous man in potions.

In the process of observation, few mages were able to attract Rod's attention, and in Rod's thoughts, even if he observed the strength of these mages, he would not choose to take the first test. Interested in all this, it was Rowling.

At this time, Rhodes had already shifted his attention to the situation in the next step of the Potions Competition, and the simplicity of the initial test was destined to pass many mages.

In this case, in order to ensure that only a very small number of people meet the requirements, the next competition will not be so simple.
