Reoks is a magic academy with a long history, with a strong faculty, and every professor in the academy has undergone a strict certification of the qualification level of magicians, which is assessed by the Imperial Magicians Association, if you want to have the title of magician and have noble treatment, then it is necessary to participate in this qualification assessment.

Most of the professors who are teaching at the Reox Academy now have graduated from this academy, although they are not affiliated with the Royal Wizards, but the empire has also granted them the status of honorary members, that is to say, every professor of Reox can be regarded as a nobleman, so the ridiculous thing of insulting a professor will never happen to Reox.

Reox is the reserve of the power of the imperial magicians, and the empire can also be seen as the backing of the Reox in some forms, and every year the successive Sassen kings will transfer a large amount of money to the name of the Reox Academy, one is to strengthen the empire's control and influence on the academy, and the other is to boost the magical strength of the students in the academy.

In the Empire, things like wands, wands, all kinds of gems and magic rings are controlled products, and the Empire strictly prohibits the circulation of these magic items on the market, of course, that being said, but there are still some underground markets that sell such magic items, and as for the object, it is naturally the mercenaries of the Empire - even if it is an enchanted long sword, the benefits to those who can't do magic are immeasurable.

Magic items, in fact, almost refer to enchanted weapons, jewelry, etc., and of course, magic scrolls.

But compared to magicians, the number of enchanters in the empire is not very large, and there are only a handful of famous ones, so in general, magic items are very precious, even if Reox has trained countless enchanters, but magic items are still very rare, because most of them are requisitioned for the Emperor [***] team.

However, as the largest and oldest magic academy in the empire, Reox Academy is not short of magic props, of course, it also includes some precious gems that can amplify the power of magic, and these magic props, Reox is generally distributed to outstanding students in the academy as a means of incentive, of course, refers to the senior grades.

And what Jiang Zhe heard was one of them......

Generally speaking, only students from the fourth grade and above will participate in the activity, and the team is usually composed of three students in the same dormitory, during which the professor will be asked to bury magic items in the more hidden places in the woods behind the castle, and send out some maps with all the location markers.

At the same time, the academy does not restrict the use of other teams' maps during activities, nor does it restrict the use of magic in activities, because this itself is to stimulate the growth of students, however, the academy prohibits the use of high-damage magic above level 5 during activities, especially fire blue magic, restricts the casting of forbidden spells, restricts the use of black magic, strictly prohibits the use of magic after the opposing team admits defeat, and when encountering students who call for help, they should help, and if their ability is insufficient, they need to notify the nearby professor as soon as possible......

The activity was carried out under the supervision of some powerful professors, so even if a student was injured, he could be rescued in time, and in general, there was no major incident, after all, Reox was the largest magic academy in the empire, and he was the son of a high-ranking nobleman, and he did not dare to deliberately harm others in the academy.

The activity was very interesting, especially when it came to finding some precious magic items, but it was not a fun thing for the younger students, who were envious and blushing when they watched the older students talk about the 'Treasure Hunt in the Woods'.

In fact, the old dean of Reox didn't want the junior students to participate in this activity, but on the basis of too much difference in strength, even if the junior students found their favorite magic props, they might be 'taken away' by other senior students, which would inevitably induce negative emotions and even hatred among the students.

The old dean didn't want that, he wanted every student in the house to learn magic with a cheerful and optimistic attitude.

In July of the year 403 of the new calendar, the theory classes of all grades have basically come to an end, and both the senior and junior students have entered the stage of applying the magic they have learned, but theory is theory after all, and the classroom is a classroom after all, and the battle between real magicians will not have so much time for you to chant spells - after this event, most of the fourth graders will understand and remember this very much.

The 'bad guys' are generally the fifth to sixth grade students, and I have to say that the teaching methods of Reochs Academy are very unusual.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Zim is already a sixth-year student, and as long as he passes the qualification assessment when he graduates, then he can become a respected magician.

Like all Riox students, Zim also participated in the treasure hunt organized by the college with the psychology of 'expectation' and 'luck' in the fourth grade, but unfortunately, he unfortunately ran into a team of sixth-grade seniors on the way, although in the fourth grade, some advanced magic was also opened to students one after another, but for the application of magic, Zim was still far inferior to the seniors in the upper grades.

In the end, Zim and his two roommates found nothing, and they also suffered some minor injuries.

At the time, he was very angry, but now that he thinks back to the past, he finds it more interesting, and he plans to 'teach his younger students a lesson' like the previous sixth graders, so that they understand that there is a difference between being able to perform magic and using it wisely......

"Hey!"

Glancing at the fourth-grade students who were chattering about the 'event' around the flower bed of the fountain, a smile appeared on the corner of Zim's mouth, and he seemed to be so excited that he was very much looking forward to getting a prop of amplification magic, preferably a gem or something, but ......

Fortunately, they can learn some things that they can't learn in the classroom, for example, real magician duels!

As a senior, 'teach' your younger students and sisters, which is also the fine tradition of Ruiox!

Just as he was thinking, Zim walked around a corner with the magic document in his hand, and at this moment, a person ran around the corner, and the two of them couldn't retract their strength, and they slammed into each other with a "bang", and the white parchment with a little yellowish was scattered on the ground.

"Ouch!" Zim felt as if he had hit a wall, especially his shoulder, and his right leg, and the pain was terrible, and he looked up with grinning teeth, and looked at the badge on the chest of the person opposite, only to realize that it was only a first-year junior.

This guy should go to the Imperial Knight Academy!

As a sixth-grade senior, Zim naturally didn't care about such a trivial matter with a first-grade junior, so he rubbed his shoulders and said first, "Are you okay, junior ......?"

"I'm fine...... the man scratched his head suspiciously, looking at Zim, who was grinning in pain.

"You...... What department do you major?"

"Enhancement system, ah......"

No wonder!, Zim smiled bitterly.

"You...... Are you alright, senior?"

How could it be okay? Zim knew that he was suffering, but he couldn't say anything, so he hurriedly picked up the parchment on the ground and said, "It's okay, just pay attention next time...... and he left in a hurry, he felt that he was almost knocked to the ground by a first-grade student, as a sixth-grade senior, it was really embarrassing.

In his hurry, he didn't notice that there was a piece of parchment pulled down around the corner......

"Huh, what is this? Could it be that the man dropped it?"

Picking up the parchment on the ground in confusion, Alan frowned, he saw that it seemed to be a map, a bit like the woods behind the castle, but what were the forks on it?

"Could it be ......" seemed to think of something, Alan opened his mouth, looked left and right, saw that no one was paying attention around, rolled his eyes, and hid the map in the magic robe with a smile......

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

At this time, our classmate Jiang Zhe was sitting on the sofa in the dormitory in a daze at a fireball, and on the sofa next to him, Scott was holding a pen and concentrating on the magic book in his hand......

"Tsk!" Jiang Zhe frowned.

"Hmm?" Scott subconsciously looked up, and at the same time his expression was a little unnatural, "out of ...... What's wrong?" he stared at the fireball in Jiang Zhe's hand.

"The repulsion between the elements is strong, and if it is hard, it ......"

"Don't force yourself on," Scott smiled miserably at the sight of the fireball's dangerous white light, moved to the side slightly, and said hesitantly, "The compression element can't be messed with, especially a ...... like yours Don't mess around, it's no better than a simple [Fireball]......"

"Settle!" After getting along for almost half a year, Jiang Zhe and the two roommates are also familiar with each other, so sometimes they speak a little casually, "You've said it several times......

As he was speaking, Jiang Zhe's expression changed slightly, and he saw a gap faintly cracked in the middle of the fireball, from which a dangerous white light emitted, bluffing Scott's face pale, "Oops......"

"Boom!" It wasn't that the fireball really exploded, but that it came from Jiang Zhe's mouth.

"......" glanced at the fireball that glowed purple-red, and Scott pouted speechlessly and sat down on the couch.

After getting acquainted, he also slowly learned about the surnames of his two roommates.

First of all, Allen, surnamed Extraordinary, whether it is familiar or unfamiliar, he can mix, he doesn't care about his ridicule, he is a nobleman with a big heart, but his casual and unrigorous life style, Scott still can't accept it.

Later, Scott learned that in fact, Allen's father was not originally a nobleman, just a businessman, a successful businessman at best, but a nouveau riche at worst, and the earl's title was only bought with gold coins.

Compared to Allen, South's surname is more like himself, and he usually doesn't like to talk, especially to strangers, but after getting acquainted with him, Scott found that he was not difficult to get along with, hmm...... Should be a very easy-going person, and sometimes make some innocuous jokes, but rarely.

"Smack!" With a snap of his fingers, Jiang Zhe lifted the compressed fireball and summoned five fireballs again.

In this regard, Scott secretly breathed a sigh of relief, for him, the pressure brought by the fireball just now was far greater than that of these five ordinary fireballs.

"Still a little bit, South?"

"No," Jiang Zhe shook his head and said, "I already have a little idea, but I still feel a little uncontrollable...... I think if it were Professor Hodder, it would have been very easy to do......

Scott smiled faintly, flipped through the pages of the book in his hand, and said without raising his head, "Of course, Professor Hodd is a professor of fire green magic, but I haven't heard of a first-year student who can reach this step, I think you are likely to be invited to stay in Reoks after graduation, and when the time comes, maybe Professor Hodd will resign from his position as a professor of fire green magic, and you ......may not be able to tutor you alone."

"Graduation?" Jiang Zhe smiled bitterly, lying on the sofa and sighed, "I still owe the academy five hundred gold coins......

"Listen to me, that's not a big number," Putting down the book in his hand, Scott pushed his glasses and said, "If you don't mind, Alan and I can ...... for you"

"Thanks, but forget it," shaking his head, Jiang Zhe chuckled and said in a very serious tone, "I know this, you and Alan are both from noble backgrounds, and I heard that Allen's father also runs a chamber of commerce, but I don't want to ...... in this regard."

"Hehe, Soth, you misunderstood," Scott smiled faintly, with a bit of self-deprecation, "Actually, this is also an investment for the nobles, I ...... As my father said, especially a talented and promising magician like you, all nobles would be willing to befriend......"

Hearing this, he glanced at Scott suspiciously, and Jiang Zhe smiled, "You speak really directly, Scott!"

"Really?" Scott pushed his glasses, "probably because of the ...... things I've seen," he paused, looked up and asked, "Soth, what do you think of the nobility?"

"I don't feel anything!" Jiang Zhe said with a shrug.

"Sure enough, like you said," Scott smiled lightly, "Actually, I can see that your impression of the nobles is not so good, and it is no wonder that it is indeed difficult for the nobles of the empire to leave a good impression on people...... Especially the ...... who don't have a knighthood in general"

"Civilians?"

"......" Shaking his head self-deprecatingly, Scott said with a wry smile, "You can be just as direct, South." Yes, that's it, but the old nobles were not like that, upright, gentle, polite, punctual, just like my grandfather, I think my grandfather was a real nobleman!"

"Grandfather?" Jiang Zhe was stunned, generally speaking, shouldn't it be his father?

"What about your father?"

Scott was silent for a moment, pushed his glasses and whispered, "A vulgar boring aristocrat only!" The words were full of mockery and indifference.

“......”

"Forget it, don't talk about it. What about that guy?"

"Alan?" Seeing that Scott deliberately diverted the topic, Jiang Zhe didn't want to delve into it, after all, it was his family's private matter, so he followed his words and said, "I haven't seen him since the morning, and I heard him say that the professors in the intensive department are very optimistic about him......"

"You're listening to him!" said Scott with a familiar mocking smile, "I've heard that he took too hard a shot in class and knocked someone down, that guy should really go to the Knight Academy......"

Before he finished speaking, the door of the dormitory creaked open, and Alan probed his head in, probably heard it, and asked in surprise, "Who are you talking about?"

"That's you!" Scott frowned, then saw the strange smile on Allen's face, and asked suspiciously, "What happened to you?" Could it be that the professor invited you to tea again?"

"Bah, what the hell can I do, I've got a good thing, guys!"

"Oh?" Jiang Zhe was stunned, shook five fireballs in front of Allen's eyes, and said with a smile, "What's the good thing?"

"You listen to his nonsense," Scott said, pushing his glasses and looking at Allen, "Tell me, future Grand Knight!"

"It's a battle mage!" Alan retorted, walked straight to the sofa opposite Jiang Zhe and Scott and sat down, and carefully took out a piece of parchment from his arms, "Look!"

"What is this?" Scott looked at it in confusion, only to find that it was a map marked with a dozen crosses.

"Hehe," Alan whispered, "didn't you find it?" this map of the woods behind the castle, I reckon, should be the location of the treasures left by the former magicians......

"That's too much, this mark!" Scott sneered, "Former magician, don't you know that this is a traditional activity of the Academy? It was deliberately hidden in the woods by the professor of the Academy, and it is not a treasure, just a magic prop...... You idiot!"

"Really?" Alan looked at Jiang Zhe in amazement, Jiang Zhe shrugged, shook his head and smiled, "It seems to be the case, and the academy rules only allow students above the fourth grade to participate in the ......" As he spoke, Jiang Zhe repeated what he had heard from Dia.

"Tsk," Alan said weakly as he buried himself on the couch in disappointment, "I thought it was, since it's useless, forget it......" As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something, sat up suddenly, and asked Scott, "Scott, how do you say this?"

Not understanding what he meant, Scott frowned and said, "I heard that there seem to be only more than a hundred copies, not every senior student can get it, so during the event, the academy allows students to 'snatch' other people's maps to reduce competitors, after all, although it is a magic prop, there may also be some precious things in it, such as gems that increase the power of magic or something...... What do you want to do?"

I saw Alan reach out and take the map from Scott's hand, and said with a smile, "How about we sneak there?" Although I'm not very interested in those magic items, it should be very interesting to think about it, if you're lucky......"

"Don't even think about it," Scott struck, "and even with this map, the professors wouldn't have let us first-year students participate—we alone would have been caught and brought out at once." ”

"So, what if it's just us?" Alan laughed.

"What do you mean?"

Looking at Jiang Zhe and Scott, who showed puzzled expressions, Allen said in a low voice, "Make a few hundred copies of this map and sell it to the students of the academy - I think there should be many people like us, and you also said that not every senior has it, we keep one copy for ourselves, and sell the rest of the gold coins one by one, I think, at that time, maybe the academy will acquiesce, even if we don't acquiesce, there are so many people in the academy, we can make a few thousand gold coins by saying anything...... How about the three of us split it evenly, Soth?"

This guy ......

As if he understood something, Scott glanced at Jiang Zhe, lowered his head and thought deeply, "It's easy to say, I see that this map is made by drawing magic scrolls...... I'm not sure, but I can give it a try......"

As if he understood something, Jiang Zhe hesitated and said, "Hey, Scott, Allen, I'm ......" Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Allen, "What, isn't this activity quite interesting?

Rolling his eyes speechlessly, Scott took the map in Alan's hand and said with a light smile, "In that case, I'm also very interested in curses in the senior year - I found a few curses in the library last month, but I haven't cast them yet, so it's good to try......"

"Hey, isn't there a rule that curses can only be learned in the third grade?" said Allen, surprised.

"You care about me!" Scott pushed his glasses and said to Jiang Zhe instead, "I think this guy is not bad, the gold coins earned are divided equally between the three of us, if the courtyard is investigated by then, then the three of us are not allowed to run - no one will suffer, no one will take advantage, how about it?"

"Heh!" Jiang Zhe smiled faintly.

First, the school rules of Reochs were relatively mild, and second, his two roommates were both from noble backgrounds, and they were not short of money, so how could they care about a few hundred gold coins for them?

They would say this mainly because they had rejected their offer to pay for the five hundred gold coins for their admission......

If it was at the beginning, Jiang Zhe would have hesitated, but now, the three of them have basically become acquainted, and it may seem a little unkind to refuse again.

"That'...... Then what do I need to do?" Jiang Zhe asked hesitantly.

"It's not just you, it's you!" Scott smiled and said, "Alan, go get some ink from the professor, South, you go to the library and bring some parchment, there's not much left in the room, and as for painting, you two don't both have a magic scroll course, so leave it to me......"

"This ......" Jiang Zhe naturally knew that writing a painting was a very tiring thing, and he seemed a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Alan smiled and said, "I'm worried that the hospital will pursue it?" Okay, does Reoks have any rules that say you can't do this? The old guy often says that you must always pay attention to business opportunities, and if you see an opportunity, you have to be the first to start, and never hesitate! Eh, this is my family's ancestral training......"

Scott was speechless when he heard this, pouting and mocking, "I used to think that you should go to the Imperial Knight Academy, but now I find out that I was wrong, you should go to the merchant's ......"

Alan didn't mind, shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's what the old guy used to think, he always said that in this world, wealth is easier than power to lure people to sell their lives, and he kept saying that he was a successful businessman, and wanted me to be a good businessman, and then he heard that there was a magician title that was more respectable, so he tied me up here - after all, the title of magician cannot be bought with gold......"

"Okay, we don't want to hear this," interrupting Allen's words, Scott looked at Jiang Zhe and said, "It seems that the event will be ten days later, time is running out, Soth, we have to step up, and you will inevitably have to write some pictures together, I can't believe that guy." ”

"Hey, hey!" said Allen, who was drinking water, very unhappy.

"En!" Jiang Zhe nodded seriously.

To be honest, he wasn't a person who liked to owe favors, even at Reox Academy, and during his time at the school, he often worried about the five hundred gold coins.

To be honest, he is not good at making money, besides, five hundred gold coins is indeed a relatively huge number for him now, as for what he said at the beginning, it was just forced by the situation.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

A week later, on the eve of the previous year's Riox preparation for the 'Treasure Hunt in the Woods', a rather strange thing happened in the academy......

In previous years, the event map, which was 'precious' because of the prizes of this event, was now sold in large quantities in the academy, one gold coin per ......

Perhaps for the commoners of the Empire, a gold coin can make a family live well for a long time, but in the eyes of the noble cadets of the Reochs Academy, a gold coin is obviously not much different from a silver coin, and in just a few days, Scott's main 'map' has sold hundreds of copies—most of them are bought by junior students, especially first-year students—and they don't all know that the activity is limited to senior students.

When the professors of Reox heard about this, most of them were shocked and laughed, this seemingly active, but in fact disguised magic assessment teaching method has been practiced for more than ten years, and this kind of thing has never happened.

Professor Manhet, who was in charge of the rules and regulations of Reochs education, also felt that it was difficult to make a decision after hearing about this, after all, the rules and regulations of the academy did not explicitly prohibit students from selling things in the school, on the contrary, the academy had a supportive attitude, supporting the students to sell the enchanted items they made to the students, and even the academy.

But this one has never happened to Professor Manhet in his tenure.

In the end, this matter stabbed the old dean......

When Professor Manhet anxiously informed the old dean of this, the old dean was looking at a map with a monocle, and it was clear that he already knew about it.

"First-grade children can do this step, although there are still some places that are not fine enough, but it is not easy, it is commendable!"

"Dean, now is not the time to talk about this, is it?" Compared to the old dean's slow reasoning, Professor Manhet looked a little anxious, frowned and said, "These children are too bold, they even imitated the activity map sent by the academy, I think this matter should be dealt with seriously!"

"It's nothing," said the old dean with a smile as he took off his monocle and smoked his pipe, "that a first-grade child can imitate to such an extent, which shows that he is very talented, and we should not encourage such a child?"

"But Dean, if every child is like them in the future......"

"Then be cautious in this kind of thing - don't despise the children because of their age, this generation of children, in my opinion, are all talented, maybe in ten years they will be the pillars of the empire, the pride of our Reox, it is not a good thing to dampen the children's positive surname......"

"This ......," Professor Mancht said hesitantly, "what about this event?"

"Hmm," said the old dean with a smile as he put down his pipe, slowly stood up, looked out at the students in the fountain garden through the floor-to-ceiling window, and said with a long smile, "Since the children are interested in this, let's set a precedent: the academy acquiesces to all the students participating in this activity!"

"But in this way, it is a bit weak in terms of supervision, and besides, I am afraid that the magic props we have prepared are a bit insufficient......"

"You don't have to worry about that," the old dean laughed, "suspend all classes for the time being, and let all the professors supervise the whole process, as for the magic items, don't ...... I'll prepare a little more in these two areas, and then you will work harder...... Hehe, this event should be regarded as a school celebration event......"

"This ...... Alright," Professor Manhet sighed and nodded helplessly, "that's all there is to it, but Dean, I personally recommend that the three first-year students be disciplined, Soth, Alan Scander, and Scott Ogier!"

"Soth ......" looked at the students outside the window, the old dean muttered the name, and then a deep smile appeared on his face, "Interesting little guy...... Then warn once!"

"Huh?" Professor Manhet froze.

Warnings? Warnings are also punishments? At least they have to deduct some year-end assessment points, right?

Just as he hesitated to speak again, the old dean spoke.

"Don't blame the children for everything, after all, this is the negligence of the academy, who drew these magic maps? It was actually copied by several first-grade children, as a professor, this is very undeserved, it is too dereliction of duty! Don't let this happen again next time!"

"Yes...... Yes, Dean!"

"That's okay, Professor Manhet, you go back first, I'll contact the Imperial Royal Magician - since it is an event in which all the students of the academy participate, naturally we can't disappoint the children in terms of prizes......"

"Yes, Dean!" Professor Manhet nodded, turned and walked out of the room.

After he left, the old dean turned around, glanced at the student materials scattered on the desk, smiled and picked up his pipe and took a puff.

One major in Intensive, one major in Illusion, and one major in Fire......

contain, control, and combat ......

Hehe, it looks like this year will be very lively......

"Hehe, three interesting little ones...... Don't let someone out of the woods in the first place!"

PS: The cover makes me tangled...... Tears......

I made a picture of myself, but it exceeded the regulations and was more tangled......

Impotence......
