Chapter 8: Wesley, the Poet

There are six grades at Tris Academy of Magic, and the higher you go, the smaller the number. In fact, after a year of study, the vast majority of students can know that they are not that material, and then voluntarily drop out, and most of them will transfer to the Knight Academy. The Academy of Magic entered at the age of thirteen, and the Knight Academy entered at the age of fourteen, and the two academies deliberately staggered by one year, which is probably the same reason.

Generally speaking, if you haven't been promoted to a beginner magic apprentice by the fourth year, you won't have anything to do with magic in this life. Therefore, the vast majority of students above the fourth grade of the academy are magic apprentices, and if they can be promoted to mid-level magic apprentices before graduation, they can go to the Feimeng Imperial Magic Academy in the imperial capital to continue their studies.

In the 2,000 years since the establishment of Triss School of Magic, only one student has been promoted to a first-class magician while in school.

"There's only one person, is this person amazing?"

"Wouldn't you? Donner, you're the most unheard of person I've ever met! You don't even know that Louis Fermont the Great?

The one who spoke to Donner, Wesley, was the subject representative of the fourth-year magic array course in the academy, and this course happened to be taught by Victor, so he often met Donner, and he slowly became familiar with it. Now, the two were sitting on the steps next to the library and chatting.

"You're in the fourth year, so you're an apprentice in magic, do you know magic? I haven't seen anyone do magic yet. ”

"Vulgar! Donner, you're too vulgar. What's the point of magic, I ...... Actually, he is a poet. ”

The poet sat on his stomach on the steps, his hands crossed behind his head, and looked up at the sky. Students who walked by, occasionally looked at them with disdain.

"You're chatting with a pauper, aren't you afraid your classmates will laugh at you?"

"Haha, you're wrong, these philistines will only sympathize with you because you talk to me...... You'll find out slowly?"

"I've heard them say that there are top 10 masters in the school, and these masters are very powerful, right? Have you ever seen them work magic?"

"Bullshit master, what's the point of children fighting, let's talk about the top ten beauties, do you know the top ten beauties in the academy?"

"Haven't heard of it. Read a poem of yours and listen to it?"

"I ...... It's been brewing ......"

"So, you haven't written poetry?"

"You know what, a poet is an attitude. The Prophet Yarman said that there are only two kinds of people in this world, one is the poet and the other is called the other ......"

"Do you know magic?"

"Donner!"

Donner didn't see Wesley do his magic, but the next afternoon he met the house's famous beauty, Lucia.

"See, by the window, the one who was watching "Introduction to the Ice Element", Lucia, third grade, the first of the ten beauties, I have been following her for several days. ”

"What are you going to do?" The library was about to close, and Donner was cleaning up and turning the unused chair over to the table.

"Hehe, it's finally time for me to catch her alone, buddy, learn to ......"

Wesley said as Shi Shiran walked towards the window.

"Beauty, do you have anyone around?"

"Someone. ”

"You're really going to ......"

"I don't want to talk to you. The redhead interrupted Wesley mercilessly.

"I think you might be mistaken ......"

"No mistake! Your name is Wesley, isn't it? You're still a poet, aren't you? Come on, I don't want to waste time listening to your story. ”

"So I'm so famous?"

"Of course, when you were in the first grade, you chased the fifth-grade senior sister, and in the past three years, you have chased dozens of girls, and the key is that you have not succeeded once. Who else doesn't know you?"

"Oh, this is really an inspirational story, don't you want this story to have a happy ending?"

Lucia finally walked away impatiently, rolling her eyes at Donner as she passed by.

"Well, I finally know why you said those things during the day. By the way, what did you just want me to learn?" Donner was despised by Wesley's involvement.

"This is the first trick I taught you to pick up girls, be thick-skinned. Someday, you'll thank me, Donner. Wesley didn't feel any frustration at all, as if nothing had happened, "I just found out that the library is a great place to pick up girls." From today onwards, I will be there for you every afternoon. ”

"Don't you have to go to class?"

"No classes in the afternoon!"

So from this day on, the combination of cleaner and poet was officially formed, and the pair can be seen in the library every afternoon. The cleaners are meticulous and diligent, and the poet occasionally makes an attack and fails repeatedly. Most of the time, though, they got down to business, Donner reviewing what Victor had taught him, and Wesley flipping through the magic books. Donner's occasional question was brought to Wesley, who read something interesting and shared it with Donner.

There weren't many people who came to the library to borrow books, and Donner asked Wesley to find out that he needed dozens of gold coins for each book he borrowed, and Donner couldn't help but be secretly speechless, but he took the book and saw that the caretaker Frigil hadn't mentioned the gold coins to him, thinking that Mr. Victor's face was at work.

The language of the Huls continent is alphabet, arranged according to a certain pronunciation rule, and the Donner, who can listen and speak, will basically master it in about a month. In the meantime he opened the letter his mother had left for him and read it, but it was clearly not in the language of Huls, and Donner wondered how his mother could master it. But he didn't show the letter to Victor.

After a rough grasp of the language, Donner began to study the lower grades of the Academy of Magic with the help of Wesley, of course, mainly by reading.

There are five types of magic in this world, water, fire, earth, wood, and wind, and to cast magic, you need to recite a spell first, and then use your spiritual power to stimulate the magic element. What determines the level of a mage is the strength of mental power. The method of obtaining mental power for junior students in the academy seems to be related to a kind of magic pattern, after being promoted to a magic apprenticeship, mental power can be accumulated through meditation, or increased by taking potions, but potions have side effects, and taking too much will also produce resistance.

Magicians stimulate magical elements through the magic model they build in their minds, and the magic model has certain design principles, but the details vary from person to person. To be promoted to a low-level magic apprentice and to build your first magic model, you need to accumulate 100 units of spiritual power.

The magic circles drawn by the mage can be crafted into magic items, which require magic crystals as energy supplements, some powerful one-time magic circles are called magic scrolls, and some magic circles can run independently of the mage for a long time.

Professor Victor is a first-level mid-level magician of the fire system and an expert in magic arrays. Most mages are single-lineage mages, a few will be two-lineage, and more than three lineages are rare.
