Chapter 154: Life in the Legendary Wizard Academy?
Looking at the official wizards in front of him who also belonged to the 'Crow's Nest', Lanterio didn't say much, but said to them lightly: "As the detection wizard this time, according to the rules of the 'Crow's Nest', I am qualified to be the first to choose one person as an apprentice, and the person I choose is Darwin. ”
As soon as these words came out, not only the official wizards waiting on the side were surprised, but even the apprentices and Darwin and Casapa who were standing aside felt a little incredible, because in everyone's opinion, Lanterio with the right of first choice should directly choose Casapa, and even some wizards were ready to ask Lantrio for Casapa as their apprentice.
Al was also surprised, he looked at Darwin with a surprised face, and Casapa with a faint look of shame and unwillingness on his face, and some couldn't understand why Lanterio would choose Darwin, who was much weaker than Cassapa in terms of qualifications.
Some people may think that this is a choice made by Lantrio because he doesn't want to offend other official wizards, but in Al's opinion, anyone can make this choice, but Lantrio would not do it.
Because Al can vaguely feel that Lantrio has a pride from the bottom of his heart, no one can force him to do what he doesn't like, even if there is a disadvantage in what he likes, he will do it as always, so the kind of behavior of choosing Darwin in order not to offend others will not be the reason why Lantrio did this, and there must be a reason why he doesn't know.
Among the official wizards, many people with backgrounds were actually ready to let Lantrio give up Casapa, but when Lantrio chose Darwin. Their preparation was useless, but they were happy to do so. So they all acquiesced to Lantrio's choice.
Seeing that no one was against him, Lanterio nodded slightly at the official wizards. Darwin then left the Raven Square with him, and walked through the grand gate into the headquarters of the 'Raven's Nest'.
After Lantrio left, all the official wizards present discussed with each other, each of them wanted to get an apprentice like Casapa, but those official wizards who were not strong enough could only look at others with regret, and only those official wizards who were superior in strength or power were qualified to compete for Casapa's stay or stay.
And from the words that these official wizards discussed with each other, Al learned that in addition to the affinity of the super-elemental Casapa. And with the exception of the highly qualified apprentices with the bloodline of the Thunder Behemoth and the apprentices of Frena, who have a first-level elemental affinity, only the apprentices of the second-level elemental affinity are eligible to be directly selected as wizard apprentices by these official wizards.
As for the remaining level 3, 4, and 5 elemental affinity apprentices, they are studying in the 'Crow's Nest' as public apprentices of the 'Crow's Nest', and maybe one day one of these apprentices will show different potential, or they will be selected to become an apprentice of a certain official wizard.
But it is more likely that they will always be able to serve as public apprentices in the 'Crow's Nest', fighting all day long for the magic stones needed to obtain knowledge, and spend their whole lives. If you're lucky, become a high-level wizard apprentice, or even go as a small steward in the 'Crow's Nest', or save enough money to leave the 'Crow's Nest' and become an offering to a wizarding family.
Those who are less fortunate will only be able to serve as an intermediate or low-level wizard apprentice for the rest of their lives. He didn't even have enough money to leave the 'Crow's Nest', and spent his whole life in the 'Crow's Nest', and his treatment was similar to that of a slave. It's not uncommon to even come across an official wizard who is in dire need of experimentation and become their experimental material.
Pick and choose. After all the apprentices with second-level elemental affinity and the two apprentices with third-level elemental affinity with special bloodlines and qualifications were selected away, the remaining apprentices were taken down by a few old apprentices with the limit of wizard apprentices.
Each person was given a free apprentice's robe with 'cleansing'. As well as the badge that served as proof of identity for the apprentices of the 'Crow's Nest', a few books, and a few pages of printed rules and instructions, they were taken to the dormitory by the old apprentices.
Luckily, the special nature of wizards meant that they had to have their own space, so everyone's dormitory was cramped, but it was the only one that made Al feel satisfied.
Early the next morning, Al changed into his apprentice robe, and after putting away the space bag containing all his belongings, Al took his books out and walked towards the public class.
In the 'Crow's Nest', there will be official wizards who give daily lessons to the apprentices, which are divided into two types: public classes and paid classes.
The former is the welfare of the apprentice of the 'Crow's Nest', and it does not require the apprentice to pay anything, as long as the apprentice who belongs to the 'Crow's Nest' can come to the class, but this kind of class is at most some basic knowledge, there is no more things, and there are few dry goods.
The latter kind of paid class, people who want to listen to the class must sign a simple contract with the official wizard who will not pass on knowledge, and pay a certain amount of remuneration before they can go to the class, of course, there are a lot of dry goods in this kind of class, and it is definitely a few huge improvements for wizard apprentices.
Al walked into the classroom with his books, found a seat at the front and sat down, looking at the apprentices who came one after another around him, Al suddenly had a feeling of going to college in his previous life.
Wizards are people who cherish their time, and it is really worthwhile for them to spend their time on experimentation and mastering knowledge, and if it weren't for the fact that the 'Crow's Nest' would pay the wizards who came to the public classes a decent amount of money, then there would be no wizard to do such a thankless task.
The one who came to teach Al was a female wizard, this female wizard had an ordinary appearance, her long hair was casually draped behind her back, and she looked like an ordinary cold-faced woman, but when she stretched out her hand, Al finally saw the difference between being a wizard and ordinary people.
The female wizard's hand, or a few tentacles, was flipping through the book, and after turning to the content that needed to be explained today, the female wizard didn't introduce herself, and directly explained to the apprentices in her emotionless voice, her speech was quite fast, and there was no pause, which made the wizard apprentices present suddenly panic.
Al couldn't keep up with the female wizard's speech at first, but when he turned on [Focus], he kept up with the female wizard's explanation speed and memorized everything the other party explained.
After the two-hour class, most of the apprentices sighed, except for a few apprentices who had learned this part of the knowledge before, it was very good to be able to memorize thirty percent of things in the explanation of the female wizard just now, and many more were only able to memorize one or two percent.
Al closed his eyes and recuperated for a moment, and after relieving the fatigue of using [Focus] a little, he stood up, packed up his things and left the classroom.
There are three kinds of such public courses, one is to explain the similarities and differences of the five major departments of wizards and some of the most superficial knowledge, the second is to explain the basic knowledge of basic herbs and basic pharmacy, transcendent biology and so on, and the third is to explain the wizard level, as well as the level of witchcraft, as well as the various components of the wizarding world.
These three public courses are held on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings every week, and they are voluntary, and after each lecture, a formal wizard will explain it from the beginning, which is the only humane decision of the 'Crow's Nest'.
For three months, Al didn't do anything, he just diveted down to seriously study and master these three basic public courses, and many people called him a nerd, useless fool, etc., but for Al, these gossips were not taken to his heart at all.
Because Al was well aware of the importance of the basics, he just watched the apprentices of the same period go to get on good terms with the old apprentices, to connect with the apprentices who have become official wizards, and even some of the quite good apprentices to join forces with each other to do the tasks released by the 'Crow's Nest' to earn magic stones and buy paid lessons.
After sorting out the books, Al put aside the three books of the public class, in three months, Al has completely mastered the knowledge of the public class, these books are no longer useful, and today Al is going to start doing some tasks, but before that, Al has to go and exchange the witch-like ring he got from the killed Leon for a magic stone.
Leaving the room, Al went directly to the place where potions and witch-like tools were bought and sold, and looked at the middle-aged aunt who loved to answer, Al directly took out the witch-like ring that he took out of the space bag in the room.
Directly handed it to the middle-aged aunt, Al said to her, "I want to sell this kind of witchcraft, I don't know how many magic stones I can get?"
Glancing at the ring that Al handed over, the middle-aged aunt directly took out five intermediate magic stones from under the counter and put them on the counter.
One intermediate magic stone is equivalent to ten low-level magic stones, I have to say that the price of five intermediate magic stones can be said to be very low, and under normal circumstances, at least one hundred low-level magic stones can be bought for this kind of witch tool.
However, Al didn't plan to argue with the other party, he had to bow his head under the eaves, and now he didn't have the ability to challenge anyone, so Al directly collected the five intermediate magic stones and turned around and left here.
