Chapter 1 Application
It was the beginning of summer in early June, and Bang Ta City, like the original Beijing City, already had a noticeable heat season.
Dressed in a dress as a graduate of Senkoherr College, Xu Yi, who wrapped his whole body around his whole body, only walked a short distance on the street before he felt the heat all over his body.
If he hadn't used his magic power to maintain the small frost circle covering his whole body in advance, I'm afraid that his whole body would be soaked with sweat by now.
"This is it, right?"
Xu Yi stopped, looked up at the magic tower in front of him, which was thirty meters high and covered an area of more than 10,000 square meters on the ground floor, and finally fell on the gate sign in front of the magic tower.
"Camilla's Magic Tower"
That's right, this is it.
Looking at this sign, Xu Yi felt a trace of nervousness in his heart, and then laughed self-deprecatingly.
Now he is as nervous as he was when he graduated from graduate school five years ago and applied for the first large domestic mechanical engineering company.
Xu Yi did not belong to this world originally.
Three years ago, he was one of the most highly regarded mechanical engineers in the largest domestic mechanical engineering company on the planet, and he also has a great reputation in the industry. At the age of only twenty-four, it can be said that it is extremely rare, and it can be called a great future.
However, three years ago, during an engineering survey, he accidentally fell into the water and woke up to find that he had traveled to another world.
At first, Xu Yiben thought that he should be like the protagonist in those novels, easily becoming a super magician in this magic-based world, and also stepping on the peak of life.
Unfortunately, the reality is cruel.
It should be said that Xu Yi's magical talent is quite good, after coming to this world, it only took him half a year to adapt to it, and through his own efforts, it only took two years to be admitted to a magic academy, and completed the studies that ordinary students on this continent take four years or more to complete, and at the same time, he was also called a rare magical genius by the teachers of the academy.
But the problem is that Xu Yi has been in this world for too short a time after all, and the magicians in this world have been trained in magic since they were young, no matter how strong Xu Yi's talent is, it is difficult for him to stand out immediately.
What's more, he doesn't have any foundation in this world, and the Senkoherr Academy that he can be admitted to is just a very ordinary magic academy in the Lampari Kingdom, and it doesn't have a particularly strong magic teaching strength.
As a result, after graduating from Senkoherr College, Xu Yi immediately faced the same embarrassment as many college graduates on the planet - graduation is equivalent to unemployment.
"No matter what, you must succeed in applying today!" Xu Yi shook his head vigorously, put aside the chaotic memories of his previous life brought about by the tension in his heart, calmed down, took a deep breath, and walked towards the magic tower.
Grand Magician Camilla is one of the most powerful magicians in Bonta City, and if he can get the opportunity to assist in magic research under him, Xu Yi believes that he will be able to quickly improve his magic strength and realize his value in this world.
To Xu Yi's surprise, the defense of the magic tower was not very strict, and he easily walked into the gate, although there were several people wearing different faces** robes passing by, but at most they just glanced at him curiously, and no one paid attention to him at all.
Looking at the hurried footsteps of these people passing by and the cautious and contemplative expressions on their faces, Xu Yi couldn't help but think of the mechanical engineering research institute where he stayed when he was still on Earth.
Most of the engineers in the research institute, including him, have this kind of demeanor on weekdays.
Thinking of this, the tension in Xu Yi's heart suddenly disappeared.
Walking in three or two steps to the door of the magic tower, Xu Yi did not hesitate, opened the door, and was just about to walk in, when he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps from behind, he immediately stretched out his hand to pull the door that was about to close automatically, and kept it open.
Turning his head, Xu Yi was slightly stunned.
Walking here is actually a beautiful young girl with bright shawl blonde hair, although she is also wearing a long cylindrical black ** robe, but she can still show a slender and beautiful figure, with her three-dimensional facial features, soft lines, and a confident smile on her face, the whole person is full of youthful vitality.
In the past, in the engineering research institute, there were young and beautiful female interns like this girl from time to time.
The girl saw that Xu Yi had been pulling the door, waiting for her to approach, and after being stunned for a moment, she smiled at Xu Yi and nodded her head to express her gratitude.
Xu Yi also smiled back, and when she walked into the door, she turned around and walked towards the Magic Tower Affairs Department that she saw after entering the door just now.
The girl behind her saw Xu Yi simply leaving, she was stunned again, looked at Xu Yi's back meaningfully, and then turned around and left.
However, she stepped into the magic ladder in the center of the magic tower, and went straight up to the top of the magic tower.
If Xu Yi can know more about this magic tower, he will definitely know that the top of this magic tower is the exclusive area of the owner of this magic tower, that is, the great magician Camilla.
However, Xu Yi didn't have time to think about these now, and after coming to the Magic Tower Affairs Department to explain his intentions, the staff in charge of the reception department quickly arranged for two people to interview him.
The process is not very smooth.
When the two interviewers heard that Xu Yi had graduated from Senkoherr College, the expressions on their faces immediately changed.
Xu Yi is familiar with this change, because he has seen it many times in the past six months.
This is clearly despising shì.
Senkoherr College is not very famous in the Lampari Kingdom, and as a graduate of Senkoherr College, Xu will naturally not be taken seriously.
"Uh...... Allow...... Have you participated in the Wizards' Guild's certification exam?" the slightly fatter interviewer on the right continued.
This question can be regarded as kind to Xu Yi, but unfortunately Xu Yi can only shake his head awkwardly.
He has only been in this world for three years, and it is not easy for him to graduate from Senkoherr Academy, and how can he have time to pass the more stringent qualification examination of the Wizards' Guild.
What's more, the qualification assessment of the Wizards' Guild costs a lot of money, and Xu Yiliang has done his best to meet the tuition fees, living expenses, and the usual expenses of magic research at Senkohell Academy, how can he have so much spare money to do this.
Seeing Xu Yi shaking his head, the two interviewers glanced at each other, and the slightly fatter interviewer coughed lightly, with a hint of apology on his face.
"In that case, Mr. Xu Yi, thank you for coming to apply, but I am very ......"
Xu Yi's face sank, he knew very well that the interviewer said this, which meant that his application for the job almost ended in failure.
But if this application is not successful, because he no longer has much money, he is afraid that he will have to find some other jobs to make ends meet.
And in this way, he is bound to be out of magic research for a long time, but I am afraid that his magic level will not rise but fall, which will have a great impact on future development.
Thinking of this, Xu Yi raised his hand to interrupt the interviewer's words.
"Sir, I don't think it matters which academy you graduated from, do you? what you need is an assistant who can help the esteemed Grand Magician Camilla in his magical studies, not a diploma from the Academy of Magic, or a certificate from the Wizards' Guild, as long as I am competent enough, right?"
"Oh?" the slightly chubby interviewer glanced at Xu Yi with some amusement: "So young man, what do you have to prove that you have these abilities?"
Xu Yi took out a small box from the backpack he was carrying and handed it over.
"What is this?" the two interviewers looked at the box for a moment, unclear.
"That's right. Xu Yi reached out and tapped lightly on the box, and a trace of magic penetrated through his fingers.
Although the two interviewers were not powerful magicians, as the subordinates of Camilla's great magician, they were naturally no strangers to magic, and they felt Xu Yi's magic lightly, and a trace of surprise flashed across their faces at the same time.
Although Xu Yi's magic power was weak, they could feel that this trace of magic power was extremely pure, and it was extremely stable, with almost no fluctuations.
This is difficult for even some powerful magicians to do, let alone Xu Yi, a young man who looks like he is in his twenties.
Because of this hint of magic, the two interviewers suddenly had some changes in their opinion of Xu Yi, and their eyes were somewhat cautious when they looked at the box in their hands.
After being injected with magic by Xu Yi, the boxy box suddenly cracked in the middle, and a series of crisp and pleasant music floated out of the box.
The two interviewers looked at each other, only to find that when the box was opened, it turned out to be a piano model inside.
The model is no more than the size of a person's palm, but it is so exquisitely made that even each key is clearly divided.
What's even more amazing is that these keys are constantly slumping and playing to the sound of music, as if a void hand is playing the piano, thus emitting music.
The two interviewers watched the piano play for a while, and then the slightly fat interviewer put down the box, frowned and asked Xu Yi: "This is just a toy, how can you prove your magic strength?"
Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Sir, this is indeed a toy, but all the driving force of this toy comes from the magic array I arranged in it. With a touch of magic, it starts automatically. Isn't that a testament to my magical prowess?"
In fact, the core part of this toy is indeed the magic array in it, but what really plays a decisive role is Xu Yi's mechanical engineering knowledge.
This toy was made in his spare time at the Senkoherr Academy, combining part of his knowledge of mechanical engineering and the knowledge of the magic array he learned in this world, and also using Xu Yi's hobby - piano playing, which can be said to be the fusion of the original world and this world, and the level of science and technology represented in it is really not low.
However, the two interviewers looked at the piano model and shook their heads at the same time.
"Young man, I'm sorry, although your toy is very innovative, but it still can't meet our requirements, you ......"
Xu Yi frowned, and couldn't help but show a wry smile.
The people on the continent of Sainz are very respectful and pay attention to magic, but most of them are still reflected in the destructive power of magic, and there is very little research on the application of magic.
Seeing that the slightly fat interviewer was about to pronounce Xu Yi's "death sentence", the door suddenly creaked softly.
The slightly chubby interviewer was interrupted by this sound, and looked up at the door in displeasure, but immediately whispered in surprise: "Miss Steele, why are you here?"
Xu Yi turned his head curiously, equally surprised.
Miss Steele who walked in suddenly was actually the young girl he met at the gate of the Magic Tower.
After seeing Xu Yi, the girl also showed a hint of surprise on her face, but she just nodded to Xu Yi, went straight to the interviewer's table, glanced at Xu Yi's application letter on the table, picked it up and looked at it, nodded, looked at the piano model on the side, turned her head to Xu Yi and asked, "You did this?"
Xu Yi nodded in amazement.
Judging from Miss Steele's relaxed movements, as well as what the interviewer called her just now, I am afraid that her status is not low.
"Can you show me?" Steele gestured to the piano model.
"Absolutely. Xu Yi ignited a glimmer of hope in his heart and once again demonstrated to Steele the process of playing the piano model.
"It's interesting. After reading it, Steele showed a hint of interest, glanced at Xu Yi, and said to the two interviewers: "Just hire him." ”
The two interviewers looked at each other and said embarrassedly: "Miss Steele, he only graduated from Senkohaire Academy, and he has not yet passed the qualification examination of the Guò Magicians' Guild, which seems to be ...... Not up to the mark, right?"
Steele waved his hand casually: "His mind is very active, which is much better than those old man magicians whose heads are stiff, maybe he can help grandpa." ”
Hearing Steele say this, the two interviewers looked at each other helplessly, and the slightly fat interviewer coughed lightly, turned to Xu Yi and said, "This ...... Mr. Xu Yi, congratulations on your application. When will you be able to work here?"
Xu Yi was overjoyed and glanced at Steele gratefully, only to find that Steele didn't look at him at all, but was intently observing the piano model.
It seems that for her, this piano model is much more interesting than that of the designer Xu Yi.
Xu Yi had no choice but to turn to the interviewer and smile and nod.
"Anytime. ”
