At dawn the next day, Ivan woke up, habitually trying to run around the manor, only to find that he was no longer in his own house. After running around the park twice, I found that there was another cave in the magic academy, and there was a larger park not far away, which was the area where the official class was located.

The junior college is divided into two parts, the first part is the junior class, which is mainly for the training of new recruits, for a period of three years, if you can become a first-order magician after three years, you can participate in the assessment of the formal class. Of course, it is also possible to participate in the assessment in advance, and those who fail to become a first-order mage need to leave the academy.

If you haven't been able to become a first-order magician for three years, there's no need to continue cultivating. Those who fail the assessment can take another year to participate in the assessment, one is more opportunities, and the other is to enhance the difficulty of the assessment. But no one will get a second chance.

Ivan came directly to the Fire Mage Tower, the first floor was where the first grade studied, the second floor was the second grade, and the third floor was the third grade.

The first floor is divided into several areas, the learning area for the students, the area for magic practice, the teacher's rest area, and the magic library. The classroom is fan-shaped, not too large, with wooden stools and stone tables, and the décor has a sense of magical mystery and the burning of fire.

The first class was the basic magic class, and there were less than forty people in the teacher, which was all the fire-based magic students in the entire area of influence in Glowlight City, except for some nobles. Including the nearby town and the surrounding area. And the number of students in Glow City in a year is less than two hundred. The scarcity of magicians is not to be said.

The teacher in the first class was an uncle in his forties. He wore a mage's robes, and did not wear the mage hat that is common to mages. Hair with a big and stylish back.

"Hello students, I'm George, your Fundamentals of Magic teacher. After that, everyone will follow me to learn the basics of magic. Let's introduce ourselves, starting from the right side of the first row, it must be very welcoming to find such a close spot. ”

A boy with pale blonde hair stood up and said loudly, "Hello everyone, my name is Bob, my father is a hotel owner, and he owns a number of famous hotels. I can show you what to see in the future. ”

"It seems that this student has a lot of respect for his father, but the teacher wants everyone to introduce themselves more. George said kindly, then looked at the second student.

"Hello everyone, my name is Jane, I'm from Dirk, my father is a doctor, I love small animals, I like to go to the river in the town to play. "The second one was a little girl in red, and there were less than ten girls in the class. In fact, there are few women among magicians except for the aristocracy, after all, most people think that girls do not need to learn magic or vindictiveness, and that getting married and having children and managing the family affairs is what they have to do.

......

"Bill, my family runs a clothing store, I have been quite a magician since I was a child, I love to play with fire, I was beaten many times by my father, and I burned down my own shop for a while, and I was almost killed by my father. ”

"Hahaha!"

Bill successfully amused the students, "You actually played with fire when you opened a clothing store at home, and you can live until now to show how much your father loves you." ”

Teacher George saw the opportunity to liven up the atmosphere so that the students could let go.

"Ivan Treya Frank, my father was a merchant of magic ingredients, and my dream was to be a strong man and do what I loved, not in business. ”

"Oh, this student has great ambitions, not bad, and has his own pursuits. George was a little surprised that an eleven or twelve-year-old could say such ambitious words.

"Hmph, your father is just a businessman, and in my eyes there is no difference between him and a commoner. My name is Clyde Smith, and I am the real nobleman. You are destined to be no better than me. ”

The red-haired nobles behind Ivan apparently felt that Ivan's name was disrespectful to the nobles. In the past, people who were not nobles did not have surnames, but later they became common, and people with money and status basically had surnames.

The Kingdom of Afterglow is divided into royalty, nobles, commoners, paupers, and slaves. Civilians have a certain amount of power to be called citizens. In fact, the rich, ordinary officials, and some elites are also commoners, but they are middle-level people who are divided by default in society.

"This Clyde student, the laws of the kingdom do not prohibit it, please don't talk about this topic again. ”

There were a total of 35 people, and after a round of introduction, Mr. George began the formal course.

"Let me start with the development of magic, which originally came from the gifts of the gods, so that humans could survive the ravages of demonic beasts. Later, some people studied this power and developed magic and vindictiveness. ”

"To become a magician requires a certain degree of mental power and magical affinity, which is the key to communicating external magic and the foundation for cultivating magic power. Psychic power is used to perceive and harness magical power, and the two are combined to complete the release of magic. Therefore, mental power and magic affinity are the qualifications of a magician. They determine your limit. ”

"Maybe that's going to discourage everyone, but I'm in luck. Before the Holy Empire, magicians were incomparably scarce and honorable. The inheritance of magic is all master-apprentice or family inheritance, ordinary people have no opportunity to learn magic at all, even nobles, without good qualifications, they will be abandoned. Most of you today were not qualified to learn magic before. ”

"There are many powerful and evil beings among the magicians, and the ancestors of the Holy Empire came here to establish the kingdom because of the persecution of the magicians. In order to bring order to the magicians, St. Peter established the Academy of Magic, which was open to the common people, and restrained the behavior of the magicians. ”

"Okay, let's get to the point, if you want to become a magician, you need to cultivate spiritual power, cultivate magic power, control the elements, learn magic circuits, and learn chanting. ”

......

The sophistication of the magic was far more complex than Ivan had expected. Learning so many things is no less than another college entrance examination, and it is not at all the imaginary recitation of a few mantras, the cultivation of magic power, and the end of the meditation often.

The first is to perceive the magical element, communicate with the magical element, and gradually control it, and the magic affinity plays the most important role in this process. Then it is influenced by mental power and practice. Then there is the cultivation of magic power, most of the power of magic comes from external elements, but the initiation and construction of magic still need the support of its own magic power.

Magic power needs to be cultivated, and spiritual power needs to be meditated. This is not over, the formation of magic requires magic elements to form a certain circuit, which requires learning magic symbols, learning circuits after going deeper, and finally magic arrays.

From the construction of magic to the release of magic, it is inseparable from communication with the elements, and chanting is the way to communicate and control the elements with spiritual power, and then take the chanting course. All the conditions are in place, and it takes a lot of practice.

Becoming a first-order magician in three years is by no means an easy task.

Ivan put away his contempt and impetuousness and decided to take the end of his high school hard work to learn magic. Ivan's mental and self-control abilities are not comparable to these teenagers, so there is still pressure. It can be seen that the requirements of the Academy of Magic are not low.

Fortunately, Ivan believed that he was full of motivation, that the power of knowledge was difficult to embody, and that the power of magic was real. Ivan had never been so aggressive.

The teacher didn't talk a lot, after all, the teenager's ability to accept it was limited, and many civilian children didn't have much to grasp the language, so it was a slow process at the beginning. The Academy offers courses in the lingua franca of the Holy Empire, which students can take as an option.

"Oh yes, because everyone has different levels and different learning abilities, students who feel that they still have spare energy can apply to go to the magic library to study independently, all between classes and after meals. However, your teacher will look at your learning. The teacher's requirements are very strict!"

The academy's consideration was quite comprehensive, and Ivan put away his sense of superiority as a traverser. A world with a much older history is not something to be taken lightly. There are similarities between the two worlds, but the differences are quite large, and there is still a lot to learn.

The teacher of the meditation class was an old man with a white beard. "The practice of a magician is never inseparable from meditation, and meditation is the main means for every magician to cultivate spiritual power. Meditation is not like letting the mind go to deep sleep, meditation is actually called visualization. ”

"How does the power come from, it is exercised, and how does the magic come from, it is cultivated and absorbed. And the hot mental power is like a combination of the two. Exercise, then absorb. ”

"Let's talk about exercise first, in fact, everyone has exercise, and learning and thinking is the easiest way to exercise mental strength. So why do many scholars and wise men not have strong spiritual power? The key is that there is less absorption. ”

"Spiritual power is also a kind of power, it will not come out of thin air, ordinary people's spiritual power comes from the physical body, so spiritual power will grow very little. And we magicians have to rely on the magic of nature to strengthen our spiritual power. ”

"Let's talk about exercise first, there is no growth without exercise, and even if you absorb it, you won't be able to enhance your mental strength. Exercise is methodical, and if done properly, the effect will be obvious. If the method is not done properly, it will do half the work with half the effort and even cause damage. ”

"And the method of exercise is visualization, which is a more common and efficient method. Concentrating on contemplating something unique, and the complexity of the object and the truth it contains is the key to the effectiveness of the exercise. ”

"After the visualization, it is a spiritual replenishment, using magic power in a unique way to refine spiritual power. So as to achieve the effect of mental growth. ”

The old man took out a magic scroll, "This is a meditation method compiled by the Honorary Dean for beginners. It is called "Elemental Flow Meditation", through a high-level magician, the detailed observation of the flow trajectory of certain characteristics of the elements, and the use of spiritual power to depict on the magic scroll. ”

"And you use your spiritual power to observe, this method is simple and efficient, and it can strengthen your understanding of the elements, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. Praise to the Honorary Dean!"

The teacher sighed for a moment at the wisdom of the honorary dean and continued, "This volume is a visualization diagram of the explosion of the fire element," and then took out another volume: "This is the scorching absorption method." Everyone comes in order. ”
