For the first time, I felt so dear to Mother Earth.
Everyone was standing on the deck, and the harbor in the distance was already clearly visible.
The wizards flew up and hovered above the ship, and the continent in front of them was the realm of wizards, Avaranga.
We were finally about to get off the boat, and many people were leaning against the guardrail and watching, including me, Kana, Paxson, and his fiancΓ©e Latice, all looking forward to becoming a wizard in this land, wielding that extraordinary power, and so did I.
As it stands, I'm not even an apprentice: I have no mental power, only fireball and just a show.
"I remember in the beginning, I didn't want to be a wizard. He frowned, as if he was thinking about something (he just hadn't woken up), "And how did you get here?" It was really curious, he hadn't talked about it, "Oh, I just heard from the old man in the village that wizards are better than warriors, so I came." "So you didn't even know what a wizard was before that?" "I don't know. β
βγγ In a sense. Rubbing my temples again, I patted him on the shoulder, "It's a miracle that you've grown up." "Hey, you're scolding me!" "How can it be? Look at my expression, how upright I am." β
The big boat shroud flew over, the quiet sea breeze blew, and the people relaxed all of a sudden, I glanced at the three children beside me, they should all have their own goals, right?" "You three, what is your dream?" subconsciously knocked on the wooden guardrail and asked this question, and the three innocent children suddenly became excited.
"I, Jenny, Paxson, I want to make a lot of money and go home! Let no one in my hometown go hungry again!" Paxson's grandfather starved to death, and the most important thing for him was to fill his stomach.
"I!Jenny, Kana, I have to learn a lot of powerful magic! so that others will never dare to bully me again!" Kana's family has been serfs for generations, so she longs for freedom and does not want to be oppressed by others.
"I... I'm Mira, Latice, I want to. I'm going to learn a lot of magic, and then, Lapaxon goes home and gets married!" she blushed and shouted at the sea, Latice was content with the status quo and liked him very much, so she just wanted to marry him and become a wife, the world was so big for her, it would be difficult to say in the future, at least she had a goal.
What an energetic group of children, I was impulsive a long time ago, it was a long time ago.
"What about you, what are you going to do?" "I'm going to be a qualified wizard apprentice. "What! Don't fool us!" That kind of thing, there was no left of it a long time ago, but there was a goal," my words. "I want to be a true wizard and leave my mark on history." β
Even if it's just a brushstroke, you can let future people know that there was such a guy as me.
We soon arrived at the port, as far as the eye could see, all stone houses, the appearance looked unusually sturdy, on the busy port, fishermen and stevedores negotiated the price of a basket of fish, several people pulled carts, porters passed quickly, a fishy smell spread, but the wizards were accustomed to it, and the image in the book was completely different, they seemed to be ordinary people... Live in peace?
The wizards who walked in front greeted the people in the harbor with familiarity, greeted the state of business, and smiled.
In this way, their image is scandalized by folk books?
Ordinary people and wizards coexist peacefully, Maxim, who was walking aside, also took the two tailed fish sent by the fisherman very casually and put them into the crack where the goods were storedγγγγγ
Is there something wrong with this world line?
They are also ordinary people to a certain extent, ordinary people who have power, and who are scandalized and demonized by folk books, can also chat and fart with ordinary citizens, play mahjong and brag, at least for now, it seems, is it?
Many of the children's expressions became strange, and the current situation seriously affected their immature worldview.
"Is this really a wizard?" Paxson tugged at my sleeve and pointed at the nine young men in front of me, "Am I dreaming? β
Everybody is not ordinary, is everybody ordinary?
If everyone in this land has mental strength, then why should schools spend so much effort to search for gifted and qualified students in distant places? Isn't this kind of behavior meaningless? Isn't it a waste of time and energy?
What is the point of doing this?
"You must be full of wonders by now why we all live together peacefully. A young wizard I didn't know stepped forward and acted as a volunteer narrator, "We can tell you very clearly that almost everyone in this land is a wizard's apprentice. β
"Hundreds of years ago, wizarding was a profession that was hidden in the shadows, and our ancestors did not have a good reputation, as you can learn from books. β
"For a very long time, wizards were treated as 'rats in the sewers' and 'people who gave their souls to the devil', and it is true that we hid in the dark, were rejected by everyone, and there were many evil wizards who captured living people for experiments in order to explore the structure of the human body. β
"We are like other professions, there are good and bad, but the Church has put the name of evil on all of us. β
"We are being oppressed by everyone, and the wizarding union has failed time and time again. β
"Until this time, we succeeded, and all the wizards, little by little, spent more than a hundred years, united. β
"All the forces were concentrated in one land, and the unprecedented power erupted, and we managed to find the land of survival and development, and it is here that little by little we spent decades rebuilding everything. β
"Here we teach the mysteries of magic. β
"But we need fresh energy, and that is you, these adult people are no longer able to move forward on the path of magic, so we have begun to search for children with enough talent on the continent again and again. β
"You will be an important force in this emerging country. β
"You will learn from the knowledge that all the wizards of the past have accumulated little by little, and have a great future. β
"From this day on, you are citizens of this country and have all your rights as human beings. β
"You will go through a total of fifteen years of study to become a good wizard and have the freedom to choose your own career and career after graduation. β
"Welcome, children. β
"Welcome. β
"The Wizarding Republic. β
