Chapter 17O: Zero Magic
After Dick paid the fee, his subordinate said, "Please come with me to the magic test." β
"Okay." Dick replied
The two of them pushed through the crowd and came to the door of the hall inside, which was obviously another magic testing site, where many self-funded students took the test, and their mentality was the same as Dick's, they wanted to try their luck.
The magic test is very simple, students don't need to do anything, and the magic array here can show your true strength. The test results of each student are reflected in the stone mirror outside the hall, and this data is the final test result.
When the subordinate brought Dick here and was about to leave, Dick said 'thank you' and slipped a handful of gold coins into the man's pocket. This man obviously didn't expect Dick to be so generous, and he was in a good mood, and said to Dick flatteringly: "I'm working in the registration office, and come to me when I'm bored in the future, I'm familiar with St. Atobek, I'm here, make sure you have fun!" β
After the man left, Dick found a place to sit down, and a buddy next to him greeted: "Dude, my name is SzarΓ©, the youngest son of the Marquis of Evelyn of the Montor Empire, and a level 9 wood magician." β
Dick listened, good fellow, Springs Academy is really not rich or expensive, and he casually met the son of Marquis Evelyn, one of the 12 great marquis of the Monto Empire. Dick replied, "Hello, my name is Dick!" β
Szale couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Dick's answer, because everyone who came here for the test was self-financed, and usually reported his own family, and few answered like Dick.
Szale didn't care, he was a natural acquaintance, and while he was waiting, he chatted with Dick about the scenery of the imperial capital, the fun places he had visited, and so on.
During this period, the results of the students' tests, there were less than 30 magic apprentices with a magic capacity, about 50 junior magicians, and even a person before Dick caused everyone to exclaim, because the test result was 105, this value showed that this magician named Shaarawy had entered the ranks of senior magicians, but because Shalawi was a little different from the others who came to the test, because he was 30 years old.
Just after the man named Shaarawy left in a swaggering manner under the envious and admiring gaze of all, Szale also walked into the testing hall, and after him was Dick.
Dick walked into a hut under the guidance of the sign, and Dick stood in it, when suddenly 8 magic crystals lit up all over the hut.
There was also a sound of surprise outside, and this exclamation was even more than that of the young man named Shaarawi just now.
Dick walked out for no apparent reason, and saw that all the people outside were staring at him, as if they had seen some rare animal.
Dick thought to himself: Could it be that the effect of the law of chaos is not suitable here, and he has regained his magic power, he was excited for a while, and then followed everyone's gaze, and saw that the number displayed on the stone mirror of the test was actually "0".
Shaarawy, who had just walked out of the short distance, heard everyone's exclamations, thinking that it was a genius who glanced at him, he was not worried about those public scholarship students, but he was worried that there was a mage opposite him in the nobles, because if he really wanted to produce a magic genius, his dream of a magic crystal master would have another competitor.
When he figured out the situation, he said disdainfully: "Trash, I thought I met a genius, but I didn't expect to meet a waste!" After despising Dick, he left haughtily without looking at everyone.
"This man is so rude!"
"Powerful people are like this!"
"Who is this man?"
"Him?"
"You don't even know that?"
"This person is the son of Grand Duke Fazio, one of the four major dukes of the Monto Empire, and he is the favorite one!"
"Eun, it's really from a wealthy family! No wonder you are arrogant! β
"But he's obviously over his age!"
"You don't understand this, do you? And I heard that this time it was the Grand Duke of Fazio who personally walked through the back door of Dean Santander, and he was already a graduate of Springs College and was arranged to study in the magic crystal major! β
"If you want to have strength and strength, and you want to have a background, you can make an exception through the back door, of course, it is natural to play a big name, no one says that you are not!"
The person who was still responsible for Shaarawy's rudeness just now changed his attitude and opinion on him because of his background, and Shaarawy's rudeness instantly turned into arrogance!
Dick saw all this, Dick didn't care about Shaarawy's sarcasm, but he was a little puzzled, and didn't understand why these young people in front of him, who were bound to become the elite of the plane, would go with the flow like this!
"I said this classmate, you're not mistaken, right? Are you sure you want to learn magic at your own expense? "The staff were in a hurry.
Of course, the nobles will leave this opportunity to the best talents in the clan, so although the Springs Academy faces all kinds of young people every year, the worst people are also junior magicians, and magic apprentices are very rare. Even since the establishment of the Academy, there has never been a staff member like Dick who is not even a self-funded student who is not even a magic apprentice!
"I didn't say you have to study magic, as long as you can get in." Dick was originally qualified to study anything, so he never considered which major to choose, and as for what to study, it was only after entering the school.
"That's right, our staff must have made a mistake. I'm really sorry, come, please come with me, let's go to the martial arts group to sign up. The staff dragged Dick to the martial arts testing hall. Just as the two of them were on their way to the martial arts test hall, Dick also handed over a handful of gold coins!
The staff, who were already very respectful, were even more humble this time. Along the way, the staff introduced some basic knowledge of the Springs, and when the two arrived, because of the long delay, all the students had been assigned to classes that day, and the testing hall was closed.
At this time, Dick deeply understood a truth, that is, money can make ghosts grind, so he watched the staff take the trouble to do the work of the martial arts team over and over again, and finally responded to another sentence, where there is a will, there is a way. The man finally made sense that the staff of the martial arts team had assigned Dick a random shift.
"You just go along." Said the staff.
"Okay, excuse me, what do you call it?" Dick felt that this big boy, who was not much older than himself, was very enthusiastic and sunny.
"My name is Gomez, mine is gone, goodbye." Gomez departed.
"The test hall is closed, you don't have to take the test, I assigned you to the martial arts class 15, which is the detailed schedule of the 15th class, including the dormitory, the study courses and learning props. TM's magic department always throws garbage students at us! It's really TM's breath! The staff of the martial arts team gave Dick a schedule and left in a huff.
He thought of Dick as the kind of student who came through the back door and didn't want the magic department.
So Dick accidentally became a student who had neither been tested for magic nor martial arts!
Dick more or less understood the mood of the staff of the martial arts group. Of the 10,000 students in the 5th class of the Springs Academy, the ratio of magic to martial arts is 1:4.
However, it is dominated by the magic department, not only because a mage plays a decisive role in the production of war equipment on the battlefield or in the production of war equipment, but also because another important factor is that warriors can be cultivated while mages are hard to come by.
This kind of understanding is not too much in the Springs Academy, and it is even more even more so in the armies of various countries, in the standard configuration of major armies, a hundred-person squad can be equipped with a junior magician, a thousand-person brigade can be equipped with 1-3 intermediate magicians, and a brigade of 10,000 people can be equipped with several high-level magicians, and in a division of 50,000 people, there will be a great magician, and only in the regular army of 200,000 will there be legendary magicians, not necessarily. This shows the importance of the magician.
In terms of making equipment weapons, it is ordinary weapon manufacturing, and magicians have almost monopolized this industry, and ordinary soldiers have no room to get involved at all. In the more important production of the magic crystal project, even the legendary warriors are the objects that will be oppressed and exploited by the magicians.
This is because the role of the mage is not only reflected in war, in fact, the role of the mage is not only the above, but also the healing of wounds, scroll making, curse summoning, and even the opening of portals across dimensions, etc.
Therefore, in the society of Baikalmo, the treatment and status of magicians are indeed superior to warriors of the same level in all aspects.
