After all, there weren't many people in the five grades of the Elemental Academy combined, and the Elemental Auditorium wasn't big compared to the places Su Wen had seen before. www.biquge.info But there is a fine and solemn arrangement everywhere, and unlike the theocratic auditorium of the Cult of Light, the rostrum here is located in the center of the auditorium, which is also the lowest height, surrounded by a circular hall with an upward staircase.

In other words, the person who is standing in the center of the auditorium to give a speech will not look down at the audience unless he forgets his lines and reads the script.

When Su Wen and Joey arrived, there were quite a few first-year freshmen, but the auditorium, which could accommodate three thousand people, was still sparsely populated, and there were seats everywhere. Today was the entrance meeting of the freshmen, and the senior magic students would not be there, so they were destined to be dissatisfied in the auditorium, and after taking their seats according to the regulations, the two continued to talk while waiting for the ceremony to begin.

Joey was excited, even more excited than when he first met him, and he asked all the way from the survival trial to the later academic conference, which made Su Wen realize that what happened to him during this time was indeed known to everyone. And for this guy who doesn't know why his initial reputation in his eyes is "reverence", Su Wen's favorability is still positive after all, so he picked up what he could say and answered him separately, overall, this feeling of being expected and worshiped is still good, but the hateful thing is that as the protagonist, he actually feels a little flattered rather than commonplace!

As time passed, Su Wen saw more and more familiar people, including the original backbone of the trial group, who appeared at the entrance of the auditorium together, and of course they were seated together.

Su Wen sat in the inconspicuous crowd, and the group of magic apprentices led by Ai Zheqin didn't seem to notice him, and he didn't bother to meet them.

Eight o'clock was soon in coming.

Because there were not many people, when Erin arrived at around 7:55, Su Wen immediately noticed her, only to see that the girl had obviously made up more carefully after she left, and her complexion finally improved at this time, but still with a faint sickly look. Su Wen couldn't help but be concerned, and wanted to say hello to her to inquire about her condition, but first, it was too far away, and secondly, the girl sat directly in the front row, and didn't look at her side at all.

So I had to give up.

A few minutes later, a gray old man in a bright red robe walked onto the stage.

There was a sudden silence on the field.

"My name is Gandalf, the Dean of the Elemental Academy, and I welcome and congratulate all of you would-be magicians. ”

The very simple opening sentence made Su Wen feel that this was a neat old man.

Sure enough, instead of making a long meaningless opening statement, he went straight to the point.

"We are magicians, it's a mysterious-sounding and powerful name, and it's been that way since ancient times. As magicians, we can have great power and privileges in society, but at the same time, we need to shoulder more responsibilities. ”

Gandalf paced in front of the podium, meeting the hundreds of pairs of stares on him.

"So, what is responsibility?"

He asked himself.

"Responsibility is protection. ”

"I'm sure many of you here have misunderstood the purpose of learning elemental magic. Elemental magic is primarily used for combat, and that's true, but that's not what it's for, it's meant to keep us safe and orderly in the land beneath our feet, and to fight for those in Doren who can't fight, so as to save them from the harm and troubles of war. At all times, keep in mind that a good mage, protecting the weak should always be his first credo, otherwise, he will become the enemy of all other mages. ”

"Fighting for Duolun at any time is the basic consciousness that you should have as a Duolun magician, and most of you will become military mages in the future, becoming the mainstay of the Empire's military power. You may feel lucky that this is a time of peace, and there is no war in Duolun, so you don't have to worry about dying tomorrow, but you should be more aware that war actually exists all the time, and it is precisely because of the protection of the strong that many people cannot feel it personally. I don't know if you used to be what I said, but now, whether you like it or not, you are transforming from being a guardian to a guardian, and this is what St. Peter's College will teach you in the next five years, and this is your responsibility!"

Gandalf paused, and the audience seemed to want to remember the applause, but he also suppressed it.

Apparently he wasn't done yet.

"When you step into the Academy, you are no longer the apprentice who originally pursued the dream of the strong, because the so-called dream has become a substance, a burden on your shoulders. This is important that I will first bring up this topic on this solemn occasion, and I need to tell you that in your future studies and life, you can not be too demanding of how powerful you become, and you do not need to be too sorry for not being able to release the magic of the high ring, but you must be someone who understands and is willing to accept this burden. ”

Because, for this is the foundation of St. Peter's College for 2,000 years, where selfishness is never welcomed, even if he is a unique genius, even if he can easily become the next generation of Magisters. Here, character is just as important as strength, and even when it comes to choosing between the two, the former is more valuable than the latter, I'm not kidding, if someone fails the annual elemental assessment, he will at most repeat the grade, but if someone fails the character assessment in any semester, they will most likely face expulsion. ”

"That's the end of your first lesson. ”

Gandalf's voice, though old, reverberated through the open hall for a long time.

No matter what the students below thought, at least on the scene, the eager applause that followed resounded throughout the auditorium.

Next, according to the annual practice, the entrance ceremony held various awards for the pre-school trials, everything went according to the plan, and the prince of the empire with a spring breeze on his face may become the biggest winner.

However, Su Wen felt that compared with Gandalf's words, the lively awards ceremony seemed a little boring.

He believed that Joey and many of the other apprentices around him thought the same way, so many of them became seated or lost in thought, and in short, the cheerful scene before the ceremony began was gone.

It is true that in this day and age, at least in Doren, magicians may not be equated with soldiers, but there is no clear line between the two. If you want to achieve more brilliant achievements on this path, or achieve a higher status in the wizard world in Duolun, you will never be first-class without the experience of a military mage for a few years or more than ten years, and without a few outstanding imperial feats.

This is a matter of values, or the sequelae of Duolun after the modern war, not necessarily a bad thing, at least after the end of the Protectorate War until today, Duolun has become a super-first-class power in the Northern Continent, restoring the glory of ancient Duolun. And compared to those countries where the power of magicians is not officially controlled, the ordinary civilians of Duolun don't know how many times happier.

At least the demons will not run wild within the country, and they will not be bothered by war and accidental death.

However, this suppressed elemental magic system is probably the reason why the Ptolemy Grand Magus is heartbroken. Some things can't be said to be right or wrong, and there will be different pros and cons from different perspectives, which is interesting.

And just when Su Wen found it interesting, there seemed to be an even more interesting event on the field.

As the comprehensive winner of all trials and assessments, the eighth prince Reinhardt, who was only played by Hathaway in the ring trial, won the second place, and the first place in all other events was unsuspenseful, and was invited to the stage after the awards of all the events were completed. At the invitation of the wizard moderator, who looked like a mentor in the senior class, he would give a speech to "motivate" his classmates.

I don't know if it was arranged in advance, Reinhardt stood in front of the magic amplifier on the podium, his demeanor was elegant, unhurried, and he had the temperament and demeanor of an imperial prince. Especially the charming temperament with a little bit of tiredness and decadence, combined with the perfect aristocratic blonde hair and extremely handsome face, it seems to take away the soul of all female creatures in an instant. Compared with the dazzling him, Su Wen is simply like a passerby standing in front of the real protagonist, or the green leaves around the red flower as a foil, in short, there is no doubt about the life of Luther.

All eyes were attracted by Reinhardt, female nymphomaniac, male jealousy, Su Wen was very reluctant to believe that this kind of bloody dragon Aotian plot would really happen, but he had to admit that some people were so glorious.

"Hmm-"

Reinhardt seemed to be groaning, and even this movement was extremely handsome.

"Originally, I didn't want to say anything, but now that I was asked to say something, I thought about it carefully and decided to take advantage of this occasion to settle one thing a little. ”

Su Wen became interested and listened intently.

The surroundings have also become quieter.

"Here, I would like to thank first and foremost for a beautiful encounter, otherwise I would not have the motivation to compete for first place in the survival trial, it was she who made me feel a heartbeat that I hadn't felt in a long time. It was a wonderful feeling, it soothed my scarred heart, made my blood boil again, and it was a bitter and sweet medicine for me—"

After a pause, he looked to the front row of the audience, staring at a girl with light blonde hair.

"So, dear Erin Carter, I am here to solemnly show you my love, will you be my man?"

Well, looking at the embarrassed and overwhelmed face of the magic teacher behind Reinhardt, Su Wen knew that this was definitely not arranged in advance. (To be continued.) )
