Early the next morning, an owl outside the window kept shouting, "Get up, little lazy worms!"

Hill wakes up early, and the rural children don't have much chance to sleep, and they always have endless farm work to do: pulling weeds, watering vegetables, herding sheep, cooking. In short, the day is always slow, of course, when the sheep are herd, secretly sleep lazy, and generally no one reprimands.

When Hill and his dorm friends walked out of the dormitory gate, the owl that shouted in the morning was hiding in Uncle Tim's arms to enjoy grooming, and from time to time taunted the senior magic apprentices passing by: "Fool Alger, your ice arrow is too crooked, at this level, how can you shoot your uncle." Your mana balance this month is still mine!"

The angry senior rubbed an ice arrow on the spot, but when he saw Uncle Tim, he seemed to be a little timid, and shouted: "For Uncle Tim's sake today, I won't care about you in general." ”

How do you know that this bird is still a violent temper, his eyes widened, he jumped out of Uncle Tim's arms, flapped his wings, and shouted loudly: "Come on, come on, fight with your Uncle Bird three hundred times, if you can shoot your Uncle Bird once, this month's magic coin will be exempted." ”

The senior's anger surged, and the ice arrow began to fly like an owl, only to see the owl dodging and moving, the fat body was very dexterous, and the senior's ice arrow almost hit the body every time, but it just couldn't hit, and the annoying bird beak of the bird kept taunting: "Oh, almost, Alger, you are still as stupid as yesterday, you haven't grown at all, the ice arrow is so slow, how can you hit your bird! You have to practice for another two months!"

It turned out that the senior's name was Alger, Hill thought, only to see Alger shout, "Andre, Andrew, Andy, if you don't help, if we can't clean up this dead bird today, we will lose a magic coin." ”

Suddenly, the ice arrows, the small fireballs began to fly in front of the dormitory door, the owl looked finally not so relaxed, while panting and fluttering around, the bird's beak shouted even more: "Today's head is bright, I know that I have formed a team to beat your bird uncle, oops, the uncle's wings were almost hit, and the little melon skin is quite energetic today." Come on, the group fight, right, your Uncle Bird hasn't been afraid of anyone, I'm not looking down on you, if you can wipe Uncle Bird's hair today, you will win. ”

Hill was dumbfounded, feeling that in addition to calling people to get up in the morning, this bird will also fight and scold people.

Edwin said leisurely on the side: "This is Uncle Tim's magic bird, every apprentice who lives here has to go through the trial of this bird, and only when the magic is mastered to the point that he can stably hit this bird, can he officially start the magic trial." Let's go, or we're going to be late. ”

The four of them hurried to the magic classroom. The four seniors were still fighting with the birds.

Magic is a profound subject, learning magic is a time-consuming, intellectually draining story, and the first lesson a child learns is not magic, but language and words. When Hill arrived at the lecture hall of their communal class, Nina was already sitting at the table in the first row, and was having a good conversation with a little girl in a ponytail next to her.

Nina has a friend, too, Hill thought. Together with the friends in the dormitory, I began my first official class at the Imperial Academy of Magic.

A person came in at the door, holding a magic wand, with fluttering black hair and a soft temperament, and came to the podium: "Dear magic apprentices, hello, I am your language teacher, and every other day in the future, I will teach you the language of magic." ”

"What do you call you, teacher?" A cute little Lori asked.

"Mara, then you're a friend of Tracey. Teacher Mara said.

"Very well, Tracey, it's a good habit for magic apprentices to ask questions. Teacher Mara complimented Tracey. "The other apprentices are the same, they have to think more and ask the teacher more questions. So now let's learn Elvish language. "Teacher Mara started the lesson. and "Aldol!" is displayed on the magic wall behind him. The teaching of Elvish began.

In the following years, Miss Betty taught the elementary magic circle, the chubby Orlando taught spirituality and spiritual exercises, and finally the emaciated elder Wizard Melinda taught the general history of magic.

Time flies quickly, half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, Hill has completed the primary magic introductory education, and received a good evaluation in the assessment, after which the magic apprentices will start to learn magic, and each apprentice chooses to follow a professional magic instructor. Oleg's mentor is Teacher Betty, Jean and Edwin also have their own mentors, and Hill's mentor is also an unfamiliar name - Douglas Gale.

Mentor Douglas does not live in the Academy of Magic, most of the magicians in the Imperial Academy of Magic live in the Academy of Magic, and only a few magicians with eccentric temperaments and doing unique magical research will live in the Mage Tower not far from the Academy of Magic. Hill heard that the teaching assistant teacher said that Douglas had been informed, and he now needed to report it himself, so in order to facilitate Hill, the teaching assistant teacher also thoughtfully helped Hill draw a simple map.

Mentor Douglas's residence was not far from the college, and Hill was holding a map, and there were towering ancient trees and lonely graves along the way. The trail is overgrown with weeds, and it seems like it hasn't been cleaned for a long time. The Mage Tower wasn't hard to find, and Ciel soon found himself in a place called the Dark Mage Tower.

Walking to the door of the Mage's Tower, a head poked out, with pointed ears, pointed teeth, and a few hairs that might be called hair.

"Douglas is not at home. Please come back if you have something!" a hoarse voice sounded.

"But my TA teacher Yelena told me Douglas was here today. "Hill is a little scared of this guy with sharp teeth.

"If I say no, I'm not there, Douglas isn't at home. The annoying creature slammed the door shut.

Hill was a little distressed, could it be that Teacher Elena remembered wrongly, it was really troublesome, and he didn't know when Mentor Douglas was at home. You can't just go back. So Hill started knocking on the door.

"Knock knock!"

"Knock knock!"

"Knock what knock, Douglas is not at home. The creature was angry, but didn't seem to dare to shout.

"Excuse me, then, when is Mr. Douglas at home?" asked Hill politely.

"Well, well. If you give me a magic coin, I'll tell you. A crack opened in the door, and the creature looked at Ciel through the crack.

"But I don't know how to make magic coins yet. Hill said.

"Then come back when you have the magic coins. The door closed again.

Magical creatures are greedy for magic coins and have no resistance to magic coins. Maybe... Hill thought.

"If you tell me now, I can consider giving you two magic coins later. Ciel said to the creatures in the door.

"Don't be fooled by Tick, little Xi'er, come up downstairs, I'm on the third floor. A mellow voice came from upstairs.

"Douglas, I'm going to succeed soon, you nasty old man, I'm going to strike, and you're only paying me a magic coin this month, it's really picky. Tick said, reluctantly opening the door.

Ciel walked into the Mage Tower, and finally saw Tik clearly, except for his pointed ears and teeth, Tik was only half the height of Ciel, floating in midair, and there were two small wings on his back, flapping carelessly. It doesn't seem to look that ugly.

The inside of the Mage Tower was not at all eerie and scary, with a bright and soft glow radiating from the Philosopher's Stone illuminating the entire interior of the Mage Tower.

"If I could make a magic coin, I'd give you one, Tick. Hill said Tick secretly.

"Oh yes," Tick happily flew around Ciel. "Come with me, miserly Douglas is in the magic laboratory on the third floor. ”
