Chapter 146: A Different Path
In this world, the magic on Earth originates from a fantasy world called Ferrory. There is a magic fountain there, which is the source of the mana of all the magicians in this world. Of course, the real secret is much more complicated than this, but the magicians in this world are extremely limited, so no one really understands the mystery.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're already a magician."
"Yes, but I know that today I realized that what I learned was just shit garbage. There's real magic here. ”
"You're talking about combat magic, right? It looks like the rumors are true, Blake Beals doesn't teach combat magic. It's unbelievable, what the hell are they thinking? ”
"It's just a bunch of pedantic old stubborns. So I want to get real magic. Combat magic. ”
"I've never been stingy about teaching people magic. But you have to give something in return. ”
"Anything goes."
"You're a Hitch wizard, aren't you? With your strength, your status should not be low. I need you to use your power to help me track down some people. ”
"Who?"
"Several graduates of Blake Beers. One of them is named Richard, and he's a dangerous character for you. Even more serious is that they get together to do something more dangerous. So just find them and don't touch them too much. ”
"In return, you're free to learn magic here. There is an opportunity to ask once a week. ”
"I'll do it right away." Marlena got up and left the bookstore. Now her mind is full of magic books in this room. As a magic-obsessed Hitch wizard, she would never let go of everything in front of her.
Quentin is a college student who is taciturn and depressed. But he was an extremely bright student at heart. He is not popular among his peers and just likes to immerse himself in his own world and read a fairy tale called "Magical Fantasy World". The book tells the story of Ferrory. Perhaps since he was a child, he had a sense of this mysterious place. Quentin is convinced that Ferroli is real. For this reason, he even underwent psychological treatment, knowing that he admitted that everything about Ferrori was his fantasy, and he was able to be discharged from the hospital.
Julia is Quentin's best and probably only friend. And the only one who always supports him. Deep down, the two of them always believed in Ferrori's existence. It's just that Julia is a little more subtle about it. So to outsiders it seems that Julia is still normal.
Quentin was interviewed for a graduate student at Yale University. Early in the morning, he went to the interview with Julia. But the interview process didn't go well. Because the interviewer is dead. Well, that's just the way it is. By the time they arrived, the interviewer had already pronounced him dead. But the strange female assistant left Quentin a document that the professor had left for them.
A dissertation topic with an in-depth study of the wizarding world of Ferrory. The professor at Yale University left him a paper on Ferroli, how strange it looks. But for Quentin, that seems to mean something. Ferrori, magic, dreams vaguely appeared in front of him. He thought it was some kind of hint and immersed himself in it. Julia thinks it's just a prank. After a quarrel, the two finally broke up.
Quentin, who is home alone, encounters a strange thing. One of the manuscripts in my hand was blown away by the wind, which was a strange phenomenon. The paper was flying in the air, but there was no wind around. Following the flying paper, Quentin walked blindly. After making a few uninhabited alleys and passing through a dense wood, he was instantly stunned by what he saw.
First of all, everything in front of me is surprisingly bright. It was night, but everything in front of me was as clear as day. But Quentin didn't see any lighting tools.
This is a very wide lawn square. It's like a school football field. But it's bigger than that. There is a building directly opposite Quentin. It looks like a school building or something.
A young man was waiting for him in front.
"I'm Elliot, you're late, come with me."
At the same time, Julia also takes the elevator to a strange building. There are many signs on the road that say please walk this way from the exam room. Julia was at a loss, so she could only follow everyone to a place similar to an examination room.
A test paper was handed out, and they were told to complete the test paper as best they could if they wanted to know all the truth. Julia opened the paper. But the questions of the exam papers are constantly changing. And she never managed to complete any of the questions.
After the written test, Julia was told that it was a test of magical potential. But unfortunately she failed the written test. The word magic deeply stimulated Julia. Although she disguised herself as no longer caring about those illusory things, at this moment she exposed her true nature. She vehemently demanded that she be tested again. But the examiner ruthlessly rejected her and cast a spell on her to erase her memory. Julia took advantage of the examiner's inattention and used a knife to leave marks on her body. Hopefully I can leave some clues for myself.
Quentin passed the written exam unsurprisingly. and demonstrated excellent magical potential during the interview session. The headmaster gave a meaningful smile. This time the savior seems to be much better than the previous ones.
Quentin stayed at the Academy of Magic. But Julia was eliminated. For a person who longs for magic deep down, but at the last moment, misses it. The world is too cruel. With some faint memories and deep obsessions, Julia frantically tracked down the matter. In the end, the truth of the matter was deduced from the few words circulating on the Internet.
There is a school of magic, and they admit new students through tests. She didn't pass the test, but Quentin did. Julia approached Quentin in the hope that he would be able to fight for a chance for herself. But Quentin couldn't do anything about it, and persuaded her to give up. But how can a person who already knows the existence of magic give up everything he knows?
Julia began experimenting with spells circulating on the Internet on her own. Most spells are broken. But Julia, with her super talent, managed to complete one of them.
Julia was ecstatic and continued to practice frantically on her own. But using magic with the help of broken spells is an extremely dangerous thing to do. Julia tries to use a spell called Invisible Fire using a spell circulating online. But it's a pity that the spell got out of hand. An invisible flame ignited the entire apartment. Julia panicked, unable to cast the magic that would dispel these flames with her abilities.
The fire soon ravaged the entire apartment. Julia threw out the apartment. It was only when she was surprised to find that such a huge flame had not attracted the attention of her neighbors. No one went out to check out, or escaped from the apartment like she did. Everyone ignored the flames, as if they hadn't seen them.
"Magic is magical, but it's also dangerous. If you want to learn magic, it's best to have a private space for yourself. Practicing in a rented apartment is not a good option. A young voice rang in Julia's ears.
