The next day arrived as scheduled.

Originally, Cessney and Dai Nina were supposed to be the first to take the field and compete with Wutzkoa's students.

However, I heard last night that they were taken away by their clansmen and left Bada City overnight.

When I heard the news, I was puzzled and didn't understand why they were doing this.

Even the teachers didn't know the exact reason, and when asked, they just said that the two sisters were in a hurry.

The competition will not be suspended without their participation.

To be fair, Princess Mia and Gandalf propose to eliminate the contest in swordsmanship and replace it with a one-sided magic duel.

Each of the two schools sends a magician to fight against each other, and if they win, they will represent the school as the overall champion of the competition.

I won the final showdown and won the matchup.

At the final award ceremony, I stood on behalf of the school, and Princess Mia presented me with a special Medal of Honor.

It is a silver medallion that is a symbol of status as an intermediate magician.

I have it, which means that I have officially become an intermediate magician.

The audience burst into applause, and I was watched by everyone.

"Hehe, Randy Greyster, I've looked at your formula and found that it does accurately calculate the area of a circle.

You're talented in math and amazed at magic at the same time, and the royal city needs someone like you.

When I'm done here, I'd like to invite you into the royal city and work for me by my side! ”

Mia put the medal on me and looked at me with a smile.

Her words lifted my spirit, as if I saw a new door in front of me.

Am I being recruited by her?

She's a princess, and if I follow her, won't I have a bright future!

"Really, I can really follow you?" I exclaimed.

Gandalf laughed and said, "Of course, Master Otto? ”

The expression on my face instantly stiffened, and my heart fluttered as I looked at Gandalf, who was smiling at me.

This guy actually knew that I was the previous Otto, the scroll master who had met them at the auction!

How is this possible?

I was well hidden, but they found out.

Perhaps seeing my nervousness, Gandalf explained, "You don't have to worry about anything, Randy, you are able to create high-level magic scrolls at such a young age, and your strength level has reached the peak of the intermediate level.

There is no need to hide at all, you should be bold to show yourself, so that you can get more opportunities. ”

"So the seniors wanted to ......," I wanted to say and stopped.

Gandalf patted me on the shoulder, "I want to take you as my student." ”

"Student!" My heart was filled with turmoil, and the joy in my heart could not be described in words.

It is a very rare opportunity to be favored by a king-level magician and accepted as a student.

I can continue to study hard in the future and completely get rid of the identity of an ordinary person.

Even magicians are only a money-making profession in this world, and in order to survive, they will go to work, which is essentially no different from ordinary workers.

But once you get in touch with the nobility, your status will change qualitatively.

I suddenly reacted and said in surprise: "How did the seniors know my true strength!" ”

"Hehehe, I have a special method of perception, and I have seen too many excellent but introverted students like you who dare not show themselves in public, so I can accurately find a genius like you."

Gandalf laughed.

I took a deep breath, looked at Gandalf, and immediately shouted loudly, "Master! ”

"Hehehe, good, my student Randy, as long as you are diligent and studious, I will take care of you and impart you with great magical knowledge." Gandalf touched my head and smiled.

Today I realized the importance of showing myself.

If you have enough strength, but you don't show it, then in the eyes of the people around you, you are nothing remarkable, and you seem mediocre, easy to be looked down upon and ignored.

It will not be reused by high-level personnel.

Sometimes you need to be bold, and when you encounter an opportunity, you have to fight for it, to grab it, even if this opportunity is useless to you now, grab it first.

After returning to Kokoya School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, my life changed dramatically.

I was the only student in the school who had been promoted to the rank of Intermediate Mage.

I used to be a little transparent, no-bird kind.

Now wherever I go, I am greeted warmly by students.

Some students even took the initiative to please me, giving me gifts and inviting me to dinner.

I was complimented on them, and every time I met them, I couldn't stop laughing.

I feel the change in the people around me, but I also understand that I myself have changed.

Everyone in this world is an actor with many masks on their faces.

Trend is the norm of human nature.

In the face of different people, they will show different attitudes, for nothing more than profit.

They praise me and please me, not just because they think that I am better than them, but because they want to be able to get certain benefits from me.

Word had already spread that I had been accepted as a student by Gandalf, and they understood that I would be very different from them in the future.

One more friend is one more way.

Have a good relationship with me now, maybe in the future they will have another way to change their fate.

Friends are used to cooperate and obtain benefits together.

Once there is no interest, then there is no talk of any friends.

That's the reality.

It's been three days since the end of the competition.

In the morning, I entered the cafeteria, ready to line up for breakfast.

"Hey, look, it's Randy."

"Randy is coming over for dinner, too."

"The apprentice of the great master is just different, he looks too temperamental."

"I feel so handsome!"

As soon as I walked into the cafeteria, I caught everyone's attention.

The boys' eyes were full of envy for me.

Some of the girls took the initiative to flatter me, and when I looked at them, they would cover their mouths and scream excitedly.

I rubbed my head and felt embarrassed.

I became a huge hit overnight, and there was a huge contrast to my previous image.

I understand that I haven't changed much, it's just that the people around me have changed.

The students in front of me took the initiative to make way for me, so I didn't have to wait in line and I was able to get breakfast from the cafeteria aunt.

Is this a privilege?

As long as you have a high enough status, then the rules are there to serve you.

I didn't want to cut the line, but everyone around me did, so I had to find a place to eat after breakfast.

It didn't take long to sit down.

I noticed that at the door of the cafeteria, Principal Vic ran in in a panic.

He jumped to the table next to him and said in a loud voice, "Attention all students, now take up your weapons and follow me to the city gates."

It's time for war! ”
