Chapter 21 The beginning of school
It was a well-established merchant family, and it was evident from the carriage used to greet Anne and Romandy that two tall black horses without a trace of stray hair rode side by side, pulling a brown-black carriage that was simply excessively luxurious, with gold on all sides of the carriage, shining in the bright sunlight.
When the curtain was lifted, the carriage was wrapped in expensive silk, and the seat of the carriage was like a bed, comfortable and soft and elastic to sit on. As the carriage moved forward, I didn't feel much of a shock.
His Majesty Haman's invitation to dinner was politely declined by the fact that his grandparents missed their grandchildren because they knew each other well. Jokes, of course they know who they are. Eat at the same table with the emperor of Oskaia. They didn't even dare to think about it.
The Viscount of Melward Mansion is located in the southwest of the imperial capital, in the middle of Heinzstrasse, covering a huge area, although it is a viscount donated with gold coins, but after all, it is also a nobleman, and it is also an old nobleman.
During the Second Dark War, when the then Emperor Oskaia returned to the imperial capital from the Iwu Kingdom, the imperial capital had been devastated by the Vidon Empire. It was the Melward family who united with some other big chambers of commerce and big chaebols to donate money and materials to rebuild the imperial capital. After the war, according to the contributions of the Melward family. Awarded the title of hereditary viscount.
After more than 100 years of development, the Melward family's estate has spread throughout the Oskaia Empire. Even the barren Iwu Kingdom and the chaotic Kunmo Kingdom have family figures. Moreover, the Melward family is scattered, and the family members are thriving, and they are involved in all five elements.
Today is the day when the grandson of the patriarch of the family returns home, although it has only been half a day since he received the news, but the Viscount's Mansion has come to congratulate an endless stream, and many children of the side line want to show their faces in front of the head of the family. So when Anne and Flandy arrived at the Viscount's Palace, the Viscount's Mansion was already full of people, both inside and out.
The two uncles took Anne and Frankie directly to the main hall and met their grandparents, and the two old men saw their grandson and granddaughter, as if they had seen their little daughter who had not seen them for more than ten years. I love the two of them very much, holding the hands of the two of them and asking for warmth, taking care of them.
Franky handed the letter from his mother Emia to his parents, and the two old men burst into tears when they looked at it.
Fortunately, Flandi is used to this kind of occasion as a two-life person. However, Anne did not like this kind of crowded place, although her grandparents were very kind to Anne and Frandi, but Anne still wanted to be with her friends, so she only stayed in the Viscount's Court for three days, and Anne and Frandy returned to the palace.
There were many, many letters in the luggage that had not been delivered. But now Flandy is completely unfamiliar with the imperial capital. And the age is too young, so I can only wait for later.
For the next few days, Franky and his friends stayed at the palace. The huge palace was walked by the friends, and there were delicious meals every day, living in comfortable and luxurious rooms, and the scenery of birds and flowers. Let the children forget the pain of leaving home for a while.

Every year on the first of September, the University of Oskaia is opened, an ancient school founded by Kyle Oskaia the Great for hundreds of years, and has survived countless wars in the intervening years, but no one dares to destroy it in the slightest. Even though the Witton Empire had occupied the imperial capital and even destroyed the imperial palace, it would never dare to be disrespectful to Oskaia University.
Because this university belongs not only to the Oskaia Empire, but also to the foundation of all mankind.
Over the centuries, the University of Oskaia has become a behemoth. It's even twice as large as the entire city of the Imperial Capital, if you count the forest to the north that served as a testing ground. It's the size of ten imperial capitals.
Oskaia Imperial University has a primary, secondary, and university division. Most of the students in the primary school are children of noble families in the imperial capital, and regardless of whether they are gifted or not, children from noble families can directly enter the primary school when they reach the age. Even if they were not gifted with magic, the children of these nobles could learn other skills such as philology, mathematics, graphics, music, and so on.
If you are a commoner's child, unless you have a good talent for magic, no matter how much gold you have, no matter how many ways you have it, you will never be able to enter.
In addition to the students in the primary school who have been promoted to the secondary school, there are also some teenagers who have been extremely smart since childhood, that is, the so-called prodigies in various places, and can prove themselves through exams.
Finally, there is the university department. When the University of Oskaia was first established, there was actually only a university department, and the primary and secondary schools were established by the royal family and the aristocracy. The main task of the university department is to upgrade the officials of the empire and the elite of the army, and some worthy of development of officials can improve their knowledge and horizons at the university. And the elite in the army is to improve their martial arts.
In fact, these are secondary, and the most important reason for the establishment of Oskaia University is to cultivate magicians.
You know, the cost of training a qualified mage is more expensive than the weight of a mage's body. Those precious, magical ones that are consumed can bankrupt the richest chambers of commerce. Only by combining the power of all mankind can we continuously cultivate excellent magical talents for the empire.
The importance of the magician is related to the fate of all mankind. It was with the help of those great magicians that St. Kyle Oskaia the Great was able to drive the demonic beasts out of this continent, so that the human race could continue to survive and not become the ration of those high-level demonic beasts!
And there is only one person who can serve as the president of the Oskaia Imperial University, and that is His Majesty the Emperor of the Oskaia Empire. It is impossible for such an important authority to fall into the hands of someone else. Anyone's covetousness is tantamount to a challenge to royalty. Even the vice-principal who usually manages the school has to appoint his own henchmen by His Majesty the Emperor himself. Make sure you are kept informed of the situation at the school.
The Alex Academy of Magic is one of the most important colleges at the Imperial University of Oskaia, and the academy named after the recognized founder of magic has been headed by Grand Magister Algernon for more than a hundred and fifty years.
Due to the special status of the Archmage of Algernon, he has been ignoring the daily operation of the specific academy for many years, and as the only archmage of mankind, his responsibility is to develop magic, study it deeply, and develop deeper and more powerful magic.
This time I went back to school to test and debug several powerful magic programs that had been painstakingly discovered on Psalar Island in the past few years, so as to increase the weight of human beings against Warcraft.

On the first of September, the road from the Triumphal Avenue in front of the palace to the gate of the Imperial University of Oskaia was under martial law, with countless soldiers standing on both sides of the road with guns, a team of horses consisting of four rows of royal honor guards in front of the road, and a column of royal carriages escorted by the royal guards behind them.
As the rector of the Imperial University of Oskaia, Emperor Haman attends the school's opening ceremony every year on this day and teaches the first lesson of the school to the new students.
Flandy and his friends sat in the back of a few carriages, looking out through the window glass, the closer they got to the gate of the school, the more lively it became, countless people gathered here, some students came to report, and more were relatives, friends and family who followed, to be able to study at Oskaia Imperial University, the highest university of mankind, everyone's face was filled with excitement.
Thousands of new students join the university every year, and there are more than 30,000 students in the entire university, as well as a large faculty and countless support staff. There are more than 100,000 people living in universities.
At noon, tens of thousands of students stood on the broad grass of the large drill ground in various colleges and classes in an orderly manner in the school's large drill ground. Waiting for a lecture. Flags fluttered around the training ground, and countless lanterns were hung.
Emperor Haman gave a speech at the opening ceremony, encouraging the students to work hard and be motivated. For a time, the applause in the big drill field was thunderous.
