Chapter 1007: School City (I)
It was not a long journey from the Wizard Empire to Passus, but under the deliberate guidance of Jenn, it still took them nearly two days, and in addition to the first group of members such as Hank, the next few groups of members who were also selected also came here on transport ships to converge. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAs the number of people increases, the excitement in the hearts of everyone is also increasing. Of course, what surprised Hank and others the most was that many of these people who passed the test were even women. Although not as many as men on average, these women make up a full tenth of the population. If you use the final number of audits, then 1 in 10 women is not a lot of people, but just think about how harsh the conditions for passing the audit are, it is enough to make people awe them.
To be honest, even Jenn was quite surprised by this, he didn't think about taking female apprentices, but Jenn had also thought of testing female apprentices in another way, but he didn't expect these women to be so persevering, although almost nine out of ten of them were not able to climb more than half because of physical reasons, but in terms of effort alone, they were on par with men.
At first, Jenn was also curious, so he sent Enoa to ask why, and the answer that Enoa brought back made Jenn a little crying and laughing -- the reason why these female apprentices and mages were willing to participate in the trial was also out of resistance to discrimination, but they were different from those male apprentices, if the male mage apprentices resisted the standard of the magic empire to demarcate the boundaries based on natural talent, then these female mages were against the deep-rooted discrimination against women in the entire magic empire. The scarcity of female mages in the Wizard Empire is not due to the fact that women are less talented in magic, but in fact, in terms of talent and ability, women are actually about the same as men in this regard.
However, the fates of the two sides are very different.
If you're a male mage, you're gifted enough, smart enough, and powerful enough. Then you can slowly climb the steps of the mage, from apprentice to low-level mage, then to mid-level mage, then to high-level mage, and finally to become a legendary archmage. You will be the envy of all, and you will be admired and admired.
However, if you are a female mage, you are very intelligent, have a decent talent for magic, and have quite strong abilities, then ......... You need to put in twice as much effort as men. And, even so, it doesn't mean your path will be smooth sailing. You'll find that you won't be able to enter the depths of the Great Library, and that the secret areas where valuable books are hidden won't be open to you. And even if you participate in the mage's ranking, you will encounter more severe and difficult trials than usual. There are even times when all the goals have been accomplished, but the other party will refuse to raise the level of a female mage, which is even an open secret. As a result, many female mages can only choose to rely on the relatively powerful prophecy spell faction of female mages to live, or choose to become an informal magic profession such as an alchemist as their first choice in life.
This is of course unfair to these female mages, but the general environment is such that those female mages who try to resist will not end up with good results. In this case, they had also had enough of the discrimination in the environment of the entire Wizard Empire, so when they learned that Jenn had come to recruit people, these female mages all chose to participate in the trial and leave the Wizard Empire.
They made a more decisive choice than those male mages -- the reason is simple, Jenn's name has already spread throughout the continent, and no one in the Klein Continent does not know that Jenn has a bunch of beautiful girls under him. Of course, in the eyes of men, this can only confirm Jenn's lustful name. But it's different for women, especially the discriminated women of the Magic Empire, although on the surface, Jenn does have nepotism in doing this, but on the contrary, he is willing to hand over these important positions to his female subordinates, which at least shows that this lord may be lustful, but he does not discriminate against women's talents and abilities! Otherwise, he could have chosen some men who were loyal to him to take charge of these key positions, and put those beautiful girls in the harem, instead of letting them out to do things, this is what ordinary men should do, right?
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that although the number of women who participate in the trial and pass the test is not as good as that of men, in terms of "quality", they are firmly over all male mages. If calculated in terms of rank, then among the male mages who have passed the trial, 30% are middle and low-level mages, and 70% are mage apprentices. But among women, 50 percent of them are high-level mages, 30 percent of them are even middle- and low-level mages, and only 20 percent of them are apprentices. This may be because the women who have climbed to the top are more able to experience the "glass ceiling" of the upper echelons of the Magic Empire more personally than the women who have just stepped into their apprenticeships, so their desire to try to resist is also stronger.
It's like the female president and the little secretary who is concentrating on being a lover, their own goals are different, and their natural thoughts are completely different.
"You say, where we're going, what will it look like?"
Standing in front of the window, looking at the white clouds and blue sky flying outside, Lisa asked expectantly. Hearing her speak, the other female mage sitting next to her chuckled. Although they had been discussing this topic for a long time, they still enjoyed it until they reached their destination. For many female mages, this is the first time in their lives that they have stepped out of the Wizard Empire, and they are naturally full of longing and worries about the outside world.
Unlike male mages, most of the female mages are concentrated in their sixteen or seventeen to their twenties, because only women at this age have enough adventurous spirit, and when they are older, they pursue stability and stability. Since few female mages are able to sit in high positions, even if they become lichs, they have no share, so as they get older, many female mages either choose to marry or plan to concentrate on their side jobs.
Unlike the male mages who were still a little apprehensive, after coming here, these female mages behaved very relaxed, especially after they saw the energetic girls in black uniforms personally control the actions of the battleship and give orders to control such a behemoth, the pride and longing were indescribable -- in their opinion, if they could meet the requirements, then maybe one day, they would be able to do such a thing. And that's exactly what most female mages dream of.
Instead of assisting the arrogant male mages in casting spells, or acting as assistants and chores, it is truly up to you to master, manipulate, and command a massive metal warship. If they can achieve this goal, then their dream will be half realized.
"Those people say it's a school city.,I think,It should be similar to the Magic Academy, right?"
Hearing this, another girl who didn't look very old also spoke. After all, female mages are not like male mages, and male mages can go to the mages of the mage tower to take them in at a very young age, and then start as an apprentice. But girls don't have such a good thing, and if they want to become mages, they can only go through the Magic Academy through formal channels. If you don't do this, then in the Magic Empire, this is like an actress who has transformed from making live-action movies to the showbiz, born with a black history, and it will be more difficult to go on.
If you accidentally get out of the small movie that goes to the sea, then it will be even more doomed.
Because of this, the female mages who appear here are naturally graduates or even students of the Magic Guidance Academy. Naturally, he is very familiar with the Magic Academy, which is also the most well-known place in the Magic Empire, and it is also known as the paradise of mages.
"I think it should be different from the Magic Academy, you see, just take this battleship, it's completely different from the Magic Empire. I think even the academy is the same, the academy built by the lord will definitely not be as lifeless as the magic academy! ”
Being able to say this is enough to see how big the resentment of this Magic Academy is.
But then again, what exactly are we going to learn? Is it the operation method of these ships? ”
"No, didn't that lord say that we are going to compete with the Demon Empire, and if we win, we can completely change the current system of the Demon Empire? If it's just a spaceship, I'm afraid it's impossible to do it. Although I admit that their production concept is really interesting..............."
Women are more attentive than men in this regard, so they don't look at it from the same perspective.
And just as everyone was arguing, suddenly, a crisp voice sounded, echoing in the cabin.
"Hello passengers, this ship is about to arrive at the destination school city, please sit in your seat, put away the small table, and fasten your seat belt. Waiting for the ship to land............... "After saying such a thing that no one could understand, the following finally turned into a normal form. “……… We will have someone to guide you at the exit.,Please gather according to your own block.,Ready to go.,Go to School City.。 ”
Hearing this, Lisa couldn't help but clench her fists with joy and nervousness, and looked out the window.
Finally,They're going to school city! (To be continued.) )
