It is said that it is the opening ceremony, but in fact, it is not the crowded scene that Astraan imagined: the 30 or so students on the stage are all dressed in purple robes, and the chest and back of the robes are embroidered with the emblem of the Empire: below the profile of the lion is a crossed warhammer and staff, the lion symbolizes the king, a symbol of human honor, and the warhammer and staff symbolize the strongest army of the Empire, the knights and mage troops.

He and his brother were seated in the last row of the audience. The people in the front rows were wearing dark blue robes, and on the back of the robes were their own names, in addition to the imperial emblem. And the last row of about 20 people couldn't wear robes.

"Why can't we robe?" asked Astran deliberately. Before anyone else could answer, my brother raised his eyebrows and replied, "It doesn't just look like the two of us are late, so we didn't have time to give out the robes." ”

A boy next to him slapped his head with his hand, and then forced a smile and said, "Oh my God, you really don't know anything about the Academy of Magic? According to the results of the evaluation of magical ability, the mage level is distinguished by the color of the magic robe, from bottom to top, purple, black, gray, pure white, silver, and the highest level is golden yellow! Blue is just the school uniform of students in the School of Magic, which is worn in formal occasions, in other words, magic apprentices. We're freshmen, and we're not qualified to wear clothes yet!"

"How do you know so much?" Astran continued to disguise himself as a magical idiot, pretending to be envious and asked, the boy slapped his head again, and said very helplessly, "Dude, this is common knowledge in the wizarding world, okay?! You don't even know this, why are you here?"

"My name is Edward, and he's my younger brother Astrand, a simpler brother, I'm sorry. The elder brother hurriedly interjected, "I am often ashamed of such a younger brother. ”

Could it be that he was pretending to be too much? Astran felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart, and then blushed sharply, and was thinking about the next words, when the man in the blue robe in front of him turned his head: "Freshmen, be quiet!"

The boy and brother next to him stuck out their tongues, and Astraan was just looking for a step down. The boy made a triumphant gesture to Astrand: "My name is Arthur, and the goal is to have the golden robes!"

At this time, an old man on the stage handed a flag to the person wearing the black robe, which was a flag embroidered with the symbol of the empire, embroidered with ripples and lines representing water and fire on the side, the person in the black robe held the flag high, and the 29 graduates wearing purple robes shouted: "For the glory of the empire and the mage!"

"Big brother in front, can you explain it for free?" The elder brother patted the boy in front of him on the shoulder, and Astran noticed that the boy who interrupted their conversation just now was called Takehito, who seemed to be a descendant of the Rising Sun Empire, and the continental lingua franca was so good, no matter what country it came from, they could talk. Takehito explained in a low voice, "The one on the stage is Dean Sean, and he handed the flag representing the mage unit to the graduate representative, marking that the graduate will go to the battlefield. ”

It turned out that he was Dean Sean. Astran struggled to remember what this man looked like, and sighed in admiration: "The dean's rank must be very high! I don't know what color the robes are!"

Wu Ren shook his head and said, "No, he doesn't know magic, don't you see that he is wearing an ordinary dress?" The dean is mainly in charge of the operation of the academy and the communication with the upper echelons of the empire, and it is not necessary to know magic, political influence is the most important. ”

"Have you ever seen someone in a golden robe?" asked Arthur, hurryingly.

Wu Ren shook his head and replied, "I heard that the original dean was the owner of the golden robe, Huo Lan, and the first dean was killed 10 years ago. ”

Astrand's heart tightened, in the 90th year of the imperial calendar, his mother entrusted Aunt Roland in the village to send him and his brother to an orphanage, and then his mother died. The corners of his mouth twitched: "...... 10 years ago"

The elder brother secretly patted his hand, and then raised his chin to the stage: "What are you doing on the stage?"

Astraan's thoughts were pulled back, and he also looked up to the stage, only to see 30 people lined up in 5 rows, and then they all used their knives to cut a small wound on their index fingers, dripping blood on a golden ball. A middle-aged man in a silver robe stood in front of them, chanting a spell.

"Oh my God!" Arthur excited, "who is he?"

Takehito replied respectfully, "He is the Dean of Teaching, Elfman, and he is now holding a magical authorization ceremony for the graduates. Just watch. ”

Seeing 30 people on the stage holding golden balls dripping with blood, Astraan noticed a red light in the gold.

"As proud graduates of the Academy of Magic, you all hold the mysteries of magic in your hands and swear allegiance under the banner of the Empire. Now, on behalf of the Council of Magic, I have authorized your magic crystal, and this magic crystal will accompany you to the battlefield in the future, people are in the crystal, people are dead in the crystal, may the magic be with you!" Elfman said.

Elfman's temples are a little white, maybe the further study of magic has made him spend a lot of energy, this man has triangular eyes, and his sharp gaze swept over, Astran suddenly felt scared in his heart, maybe this is what people say about the aura, he secretly complained in his heart, Instructor William is so serious, and the director of teaching, Elfman is also a dignified and frightening character, how can he survive the next five years, but when he thinks of the purpose of him and his brother coming here, no matter how hard it is, he must grit his teeth and persevere.

"The magic authorization he said was the spell he had just given. Takehito explained in a low voice, "The Academy of Magic will give students crystal balls two years after they enter the school, and due to the lack of authorization from the review committee, the magic crystals can only contain three magic for practice. During the study period, the magic mastered by the students is very weak, and the main thing is practice. ”

"What does that mean authorization?" Astran quickly asked.

"Those who pass the Magic Council's qualification exam will receive an authorized magic crystal, which is for personal use and engraved with the name of the person who used it. Wu Ren whispered, "Just now, Director Elfman used a spell to ask the graduates to make a contract with their own blood and crystals, and the crystals will truly become personal. ”

"No wonder it is said that people are in the crystal, and people are dead and the crystal is dead. The elder brother teased, "Simply put, it's a one-time product." ”

"The authorized magic crystal encapsulates the primary magic for combat, and the number of magic encapsulations is theoretically unlimited, but in fact, it is not possible to equip magic with similar attributes at the same time, such as water magic and fire magic cannot be equipped at the same time, so there are fewer magic options to choose from. However, even if the magic is authorized, the increase in power can only be achieved by the individual's efforts in the future. Wu Ren exclaimed, "The graduate in the black robe is called Shylock, the best magician in this class. ”

Arthur snorted, "Look, I'll be wearing a robe higher than black when I graduate!"

"I'm sure you'll be able to wear the golden robe for bragging when you graduate. The elder brother immediately scoffed. Astran thought the thin boy was clever and seemed to like magic, but his braggart personality made people laugh, but it was rude for his brother to be so teasing people.

"Damn! wait and see!" Arthur raised his voice, drawing everyone's attention.

"Quiet!" Instructor William looked at him majestically, and Astran quickly arched himself and hid behind Takehito, where he saw Arthur hurriedly shrinking his head and his brother sticking out his tongue.

"The magic crystal encapsulates the specialized magic and backup magic of the graduates' own choice, and is generally an upgraded version of the magic we usually practice. Takehito added in a low voice, "I forgot to introduce it, the crystal ball can only be rationed to the graduates in the end"

After completing the authorization ceremony, Elfman said to the graduates, "If you lose the crystal ball, then unless you go back to the academy to apply, you can only use the magic that you have last equipped, and once you take it off and there is no place to put it, the magic will dissipate after 1 hour." Of course, if there is such a fool, I don't think he deserves to be a magician. ”

Elfman bowed to the dean, "Report to the dean, 100 years of the imperial calendar, the magic authorization ceremony of all graduates has been completed." Dean Sean nodded, stood up to a soldier beside him, and bowed, "Dear Podolic Shaozo, the second batch of graduates of the Academy of Magic are gathered here and are at the disposal of the military department. ”

With a chubby head and a bloated figure, Podolik yawned, stroked his mustache, complimented Dean Sean, and then announced the distribution of the graduates. The 30 people were divided into 5 teams, each team of 6 people, of which Team A went to the capital of Rhodes and stationed in the imperial capital of Serves, Team B went to the province of Tux to support the front line of the Orser Mountains, Team C went to the province of Menor, team D went to the Province of Sunset, and the last team was led by Shylock, Podolik touched his beard, rolled his eyes, and said, "In order to save the precious mage troops of the Empire, the last team will stay with me." ”

"What an arrogant guy. When Astran saw Podolik's expression, he felt that if he were the dean, he would definitely find a way to teach him a lesson.

Then came Sean's encouragement to the new students, and the new student entrance ceremony was over.

"There's going to be a graduation party tonight," Bodolik said to Sean with a smile, "Lord Dean must have a good collection of wine, don't be stingy." Sean stroked his beard and laughed.

"Farewell party?" Astran heard the word, "can we attend?"

"All the teachers and students of the school participated. Takeren replied, and his brother patted him on the head: "Don't be greedy, when the time comes, it will hurt your stomach again at night." ”

"Brother!" his face immediately burned with shyness, and his brother laughed.
