Section 223 Arcanists in the New Age
Rand rubbed his face with his hand, trying his best to calm his mood, if he was still like this during the exam for a while, he would definitely not be able to pass, and the communication with Arcane Skynet must be sufficient in addition to mental power, and he must also concentrate.
"Young master, wipe your face?" the dark and thin servant Pence handed a white towel to his young master.
Rand nodded, wiping his face with a towel.
"Rand Jimenez, it's up to you. A white-robed mage walked out of the corridor in the distance, calling Rand's name with a blank face.
The young master of the third generation of the Jimenez family took a deep breath, handed the towel to the servant, Huo Ran got up, and walked towards the white-robed mage.
"Rand, a second-level arcanist qualification, a seventh-level magician. The white-robed mage pulled out Rand's information, and when he read that Rand had the strength of a seventh-level mage in addition to a second-level arcane master, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned and glanced up at him.
"I graduated from the National Academy of Magic at Hyde. Rand smiled.
A hint of imperceptible jealousy flashed in the eyes of the white-robed mage, the National Academy of Magic has always been the largest, most complete and best Academy of Magic in Asturias, and the students who can study in this school are all the best in the sky, but the Hyde branch is a little different, and the branch can pay sponsorship fees.
But even if it's a branch school, you still have to have qualifications above the average, otherwise you can't send money to the Hyde branch, because there are too many people who want to pay sponsorship fees.
So what are the benefits of a school like the National Magic Academy, if nothing else, two things have already been reflected in Rand alone.
First. Students like Rand already have an early chance of taking the Arcanist exam when they graduate. This is only possible at the National Academy of Magic. Fernandez University and Princeton University have this privilege, and the rest, neither universities nor junior colleges, have access to this privilege.
Needless to say, the National Academy of Magic is the most famous in Asturias, and Fernandez University is one of the creators of the Arcane Skynet, founded by the legendary mage Fernandez, only Princeton University is a bit mysterious, but because Rand is the third generation of the Jimenez family, he knows a little more than others. Although Fernandez and others claim to be the creators of the Arcane Skynet, it is a company that really made Skynet take shape and have the influence it has now.
You must know that the Arcane Skynet is a very large project, first of all, it must have a huge investment, and it involves all aspects, and its greatness and significance are no less than the "Gate of All Worlds", a teleportation system composed of Asturian in the inner space of Keos and the teleportation channel to the heterotopic plane.
And that company was able to do this, the energy behind it is conceivable, in fact, the Jimenez family has today's status by climbing up to that company and serving it.
It was that company that founded Princeton University, and that company still holds majority ownership of Arcane Skynet, either directly or indirectly. The outstanding shares of Skynet Energy listed on the San Quentin stock exchange only account for 30% of all shares, and those 30% are only to facilitate the expansion of Arcane Skynet into Titanya and Aurora. Therefore, 60% of the 30% equity was sold by the Titanian royal family and the Southern Merchant Council of the Aurora Kingdom, and only 12% of the total equity was actually circulated on the stock market.
But soon, as the value of Arcane Skynet appeared, the price of the 12 percent of the outstanding shares was ridiculously high, not to mention the priceless, and the reason was very simple, shareholders who reached a certain equity and were eligible to participate in the shareholders' meeting had the right to recommend to the three major academies, although this power could only recommend one student per year, and if it did not meet the minimum requirements, it would not work.
Rand was able to enter the Hyde branch because his grandfather had 0.25 thousandths of Arcane Skynet stock in his hands, and he was able to participate in Skynet's shareholders' meeting every year, so there was a recommendation quota.
The second advantage is actually a bit strict, and it is also the difference between the three major colleges and other schools, that is, the students who graduate from the three major colleges are strictly required to be a real magician in addition to having arcane teachers.
A true mage means being able to cast spells with his mental and magical powers, even when he leaves the area covered by the arcane net.
Other academies don't have such strict requirements, some are colleges that specialize in training arcanists, and there are even short-term training for arcanists, but this is worse than training a certain kind of biased arcanist college, because the regular arcanist college is still very comprehensive at least in terms of magic knowledge, and that kind of short-term training course is purely to sum up experience and help people have the qualifications to use the arcane skynet. However, if you don't graduate from a regular magic university or arcane teacher college, even if you get the qualification to use the arcane skynet, you can only use zero-level spells, which is the effect of conjugation.
Outside of Asturias, only the Royal Wizard Academy in Titania has similar requirements, and if you can't get the Arcane Skynet qualification and the mage rank at the same time, you can't graduate.
The reason why it is so harsh is because the Arcane Skynet can only affect the Keos plane at present, to be precise, it can only affect the Azure Continent, even in the Emerald Continent in the same plane, the Arcane Skynet has not yet been built.
"Very good, now hand over your secret method mark card, I want to remind you, it must be your own, otherwise in a while, during the exam, if the imprint aura on your body, the breath on the imprint card, and the mark in the arcane skynet are different, not only will you not succeed in the exam, but you will be punished by the skynet, understand?" the white-robed mage reminded according to the rules.
"Yes. Rand handed over his sigil card, which had his arcane sigil on it.
Since the First Ambergris War, Asturias was the first to implement a household registration system based on the esoteric sigil, as each esoteric sigil is different.
Not only adults, but also newborn children, after birth, they have to be sent to the Civil Affairs Bureau for registration, and it doesn't matter if you don't know how to create a secret law mark by yourself, as long as you pay a certain fee, there will be a special mage to create a secret law mark for people like the newborn.
If not registered, those born after the war will have no proof of identity, and will lose the right to inherit their property, or they will not be able to use the Arcane Skynet, because the use of the Arcane Skynet is limited by the Arcane Seal.
The white-robed mage opened the trial room for Rand, and first put his own mark card on the trial control circle, used his mark to open the management permissions, and then put Rand's mark card for temporary authorization.
"Okay, I've opened a temporary authorization for you, you have an hour to perceive the third-level arcane skynet in the trial room, if you can succeed, plus you have passed the third-level arcane knowledge exam before, I can apply for the third-level arcane skynet for you, and if there are no other problems within three working days, you will be awarded the third-level arcane master qualification. But in addition to the basic spell slots, if you need more spell slots, you must purchase them from Skynet Management. ”
Rand walked into the Silent Chamber of the Trial, a room made of three walls and one one-way glass, which was supposed to have a hidden magic circle for surveillance.
Just now, the white-robed mage of the Skynet Management Company opened a temporary authorization for him, so theoretically, the third-level arcane Skynet has opened the door for him, but he still needs to perceive it himself, and without the help of any foreign objects, such as props and construction, the white-robed mage will monitor the whole process as an employee of the Skynet Management Company, and the magic array with surveillance video in the quiet room will also be recorded for later verification by the Skynet Management Company.
As for the spell bit and arcane knowledge exams just mentioned, the latter is an exam of pure theoretical knowledge, and Rand has already passed. The aforementioned short-term arcane training is generally divided into primary, Intermediate and advanced, the primary level is to help people enlighten their spiritual power, and learn to perceive with mental power, so that they can contact the arcane skynet, and if they can get in touch, they will have the qualification to use the zero-level arcane skynet, this qualification only needs to perceive success and purchase zero-level spells, and there is no need to take the arcane knowledge exam; It is generally suitable for formal learning in addition to this kind of training course to strengthen the two-pronged underneath.
Of course, Rand didn't take this kind of training class, as a graduate of the National Magic Academy, although he was not a student of this school, he was only a branch student, and this kind of double-management method was mostly used by those third-rate colleges, even if it was a second-rate magic university, it was not needed, just the original course was enough.
What's more, perverts like the three major academies and the Royal Academy of Titanya require both true mage qualifications, but it is also easier for students from these four academies to enter institutions such as the Asturian Academy of Magic or the Royal Titanian Magic Laboratory, because the minimum standard for formal researchers in these prestigious magic research institutions is that they must have both the status of an arcanist and a magician.
In addition, if you are willing to join the army and participate in the conquest of the Alien Plane, if you are also a mage, then you can not have the qualification of an Arcanist, but you must be a real magician, because there is no Arcane Skynet in the Alien Plane.
Rand closed his eyes and began to perceive the arcane Skynet, level zero, level one, level two, and then began to perceive the higher dimensions. (To be continued.)

PS: That, this article isn't over yet, for Mao, someone thinks that the previous section is the end of the outline?
I said before that I won't write in detail about the second ambergris war or something, otherwise it would be too watery.
But it will jump for decades, starting after the initial construction of Skynet.
There will be a transitional content, the society under Skynet and the Jade Continent after the Ambergris War.
Then there will be a plane war, and then the end will be prepared.
Finally, I wish you all a happy Chinese New Year.
