"Huh?"

Grandia didn't understand Will's words for a moment and was stunned.

However, the other party seemed to think that this was a provocation to him, and continued with a little dissatisfaction.

"I mean, you can't have the kind of strength to create the magic that makes it to the finals on your own. ”

The commotion between the two also attracted the attention of the others, and the whole room suddenly fell silent, except for the sound of Will and Grantia's conversation.

"So, do you have the strength to create all the magic that will keep you here?"

Grantia didn't want to argue with the other party, but a text in her field of vision made her change her mind.

[Fireless Afterglow: The guy across from you seems to be a little weird, test him.] 】

Grantia naturally didn't know what the other party meant by being weird, but anyway, this Young Master Will has been looking for trouble for himself, so he can't blame Grandia for being ruthless, anyway, everyone else here is not afraid of the Sanderson family, Will, who originally had many younger brothers, is now alone.

"What?"

I thought that Grandia would be weak-hearted, but I didn't expect the girl to come back directly, and this time it was Will's turn to choke speechlessly.

"Of course I ......"

He wanted to refute it, but when he looked around, the other contestants, without exception, were all students with family backgrounds similar to himself, and Will found himself falling into the pit he had dug.

If Will had said that it was all his own handiwork, I am afraid that no one present would believe that the precious son of the dignified Sanderson family would not receive even the slightest assistance from the family, since they all relied on the strength of the family, then Will's previous accusation did not seem to be justified.

Anyway, it's all a spelling father, so it's good for everyone to know it.

“...... Of course I'm not like you. ”

Will had nothing to say but bluff.

However, the information contained in Will's words made the others curious about Grantia.

"The Ulysses family, I've never heard of this family, where are you from?"

A ponytailed, wheat-skinned schoolgirl asked, she was Martha Wimble from the Merrill Territory of the West, the Wimbble family has a rich vein of magic crystals, and it is also one of the first families to start researching modern magic guides, and it is very powerful in the West, but in Christine, it is just like the children of other families.

"Uh, Bunagine of Brunhill ......"

Grandia named a place that few people knew.

Everyone present looked at each other, and finally, it was the tall boy sitting on the other side of Alyssa who took over the conversation.

"I knew that there, right next to the Black Forest, was a small border town, and the cuneiform extracts produced there were of high quality. ”

He looked at the others before he spoke as if he remembered something.

"Oh yes, I'm Hamilton Braavos, probably the oldest of you here. ”

The logo on Hamilton's robe indicated that he was a seventh-grader, and that in the next six months, he would have to leave school and study elsewhere, whether he advanced or not.

"Bunajien...... Is there any mage lineage there?"

The more civilized the border, the lower the average strength of people, due to the infestation of chaos monsters and the element of disorder, most people are difficult to awaken the talent of mages, and most of the warriors who rely on force will die in the prime of life fighting monsters, so it is quite rare to be able to give birth to a mage apprentice.

"Apprenticeship?"

Martha asked, speaking fairly bluntly and without considering what Grantia meant.

The inheritance of mages is also divided into several types, and the apprentice inheritance is the lowest of them, which refers to the magic family where the elders are only mage apprentices, such a family has limited strength and is difficult to develop by descendants, but the number is the largest, so every year many people can awaken their talents and enter Christine to study.

She thought that Grandia was the descendant, or successor, of a mage's apprentice.

Actually, there's nothing wrong with this, Grantia's teacher has been exposed to magic-related things, so he can see Grantia's magical talent, so as to induce her awakening, so of course there is no problem with saying that she is an apprentice.

On top of the apprentice inheritance, there is naturally the inheritance of low-level mages and the inheritance of middle-level high-level mages, of course, these are mostly untouchable, even in a magic academy like Christine Royal Academy, at most it is the inheritance family of low-level mages, and it is these families that constitute the mundane magic society.

It may seem ridiculous to say this, but it is these relatively weak mages who connect ordinary people with magic, while the real silver-level mages are obsessed with their own research and usually find it difficult to appear in front of people.

"Well, I don't know...... My mentor can only manipulate simple magic, and all my magic has only been learned since I came here. ”

Grantia replied, causing the others to gasp.

"Are you serious?"

Hamilton's face also changed, no matter what, although they made it to the finals with the support of their families, they still have a certain foundation in magic, not to mention that he himself has been studying magic here for seven years.

It's only a few months of study, and you can successfully reach the finals among a bunch of children of magical families, isn't it?

Everyone was thinking this way, and even began to be a little inclined to Will's earlier statement.

Except for Alyssa.

"Magic has always been about the combination of talent and hard work, and the amount of time you spend learning magic does not determine a person's magic level, not to mention that this magic competition is more about creativity. ”

She said, swallowing back what the others had meant to say.

Indeed, because they were born into a magical family, they all know the hardships of mages, and naturally know this truth.

What's more, the judges of the magic competition are all official mages, and it is difficult to cheat in them, and to be able to stand here, regardless of me, the work must not have any moisture.

When everyone else was silent, they were all thinking about what kind of power was behind Grantia, after all, conventionally speaking, an ordinary apprentice with no background would not be able to enter the finals, at least in recent years.

Will saw that the others were lost in thought, knowing that their goal had been achieved, and that of the ten contestants in the room, except for Alyssa Terrest, the others would remain suspicious of Grantia and turn their attention to her.

Then it will be much easier on your side.

After all, the real battle began only after the announcement of the finalists.
