Chapter 39 Useless Letters of Recommendation
"You're crazy!" Montoya was dumbfounded, not expecting Owen to dare to bet on this, and his heart was a little stunned. "Is this kid sure of victory?"
At this time, Claire suddenly spoke again: "I don't think it's good. Gambling on one's own future is the act of a fool. ”
With the steps, Montoya hurriedly continued: "Claire is right, I won't bet with you! My future is bright now, but unlike you, sooner or later I will have to go home and farm." ”
"Coward, just like you, you still want to be a mage, don't dream!" Owen pouted, although Montoya confessed, he still had a feeling of not succeeding, and his heart was very unhappy.
As for the letter of recommendation, Leo learned a little from Montoyana, referring to some noble families and prestigious mages who can recommend their children and students to enter the magic academy, and currently the Count of Clemmond has a place, and the old mage also has a place. However, the final college cannot be selected by oneself, and is designated by the Calente Magical Council.
These students are called recommended students and make up about 50 percent of the colleges. The other 50 percent of students are referred to as the Unified Admissions. Held every three years by the Joint Council of Magic, a joint examination for the entire empire, regardless of race or status, is open to a group of people, humans, elves, half-elves, gnomes, nobles, commoners and even slaves, as long as they are between the ages of 15 and 20 and can afford to pay the registration fee of one gold coin, they can take the exam and get a chance to change their fate.
According to Montoya, there are two parts to the joint entrance examination, an interview and a written test. The interview is naturally to test the basic elements such as mental strength and personality, and the written test is to test the mastery of basic knowledge. In this way, it is actually unfair, people from noble backgrounds, naturally able to receive a good education from an early age, will definitely have an advantage in this regard. However, there are fee-paying or free basic education schools in various places, and some junior magic academies with poor financial conditions will also start preparatory classes, which gives civilians the possibility of achieving a future.
Over the past month, Leo has become more and more aware of the entire magical learning system. Of course, there is no mage who would not want to enter the Academy of Magic. It is a real magic palace, with a complete curriculum system, rich equipment and materials, and rich experience in teaching, and the mages cultivated in this kind of place are indeed much stronger and more comprehensive than the privately trained "Yeluzi" mages in many aspects.
Even legendary mages mostly choose to let their children enter the magic academy rather than stay with them. Although their strength is extremely strong, in terms of education, they may not be as good as a third-level mage who has been teaching for more than ten years.
There should be an exam next year, and as a simple person, it is definitely impossible for him to get a letter of recommendation from the old mage, so passing the guò exam to enter the magic academy is the best way.
He has now successfully solidified 3 level 0 spell models, and the fourth will be completed soon, and he has also learned how to make 15 primary potions. The foundation of elementary mathematics is more solid, and the spiritual power has also been greatly improved, not to mention, the magic vortex base has been completed by more than seventy percent, and it may be possible to successfully advance next year. So he is quite confident about the Tongguò exam.
It's just that the old mage never mentioned this matter, and he didn't ask too much. He had some guesses that the old mage had taken a fancy to his talent and wanted to train himself to be an assistant. He was grateful for the old mage's training, but he didn't want to be just an assistant for the rest of his life.
"It seems that it is time to find a time to penetrate the teacher's tone. ”
Leo understands that Claire will definitely be able to get a letter of recommendation from the Earl, while Owen and Montoya are competing for a letter of recommendation from the old mage. In this regard, he didn't mind helping Montoya, who had a better relationship.
In fact, of course, Leo also thought about getting a letter of recommendation from his teacher, but then gave up this idea, because reading a precious letter of recommendation was actually useless to him. After all, he studied the Soul Plane Meditation Method, and currently only Ravington and another magic academy in the entire empire offered this course. If, after getting a letter of recommendation, you happen to be assigned to a school where no one knows how to meditate on the soul plane, it will be terrible.
While Leo was thinking wildly, Montoya was already trembling with anger. Although he has a good temperament, he has been pampered since he was a child, how can he stand this kind of grievance. was scolded by Owen for being a meanness before, and now he is scolded for being a coward, which makes the fire he has just lowered rekindle, and it is about to get out of control.
Leo was really afraid of Montoya's impulsiveness, and agreed to bet a letter of recommendation with Owen. It just so happened that he also remembered a dizzying question in his previous life, and as a friend, he stood up and said: "Since Young Master Owen always thinks that I am a lowly servant, why don't we gamble, so that I can also prove that I am not as humble as you say." ”
"It's him again!" Owen suddenly felt the fire in his heart, and he scolded: "Why are you everywhere, get out of the way!"
Of course, Montoya knew how powerful Leo was, and at the same time, he was also very grateful that he could stand up for him, and hurriedly said: "I said, you shouldn't be afraid of Leo, right?"
"I'm going to be afraid of him?" said Owen with a sneer.
Montoya asked, "Then why don't you bet with Leo?"
Owen snorted, "An inferior servant, the teacher can't recommend it to him at all, and gamble on it!"
Leo looked at Owen for a long time, "Even if you can't bet on recommendations, you can bet on something else, right, Master Owen." ”
Owen pouted, "What do you have to bet with me?"
Leo showed a hint of a smile and calmed down: "Just like you last time, one hundred gold coins, Young Master Montoya, are you willing to lend me a hundred gold coins to scold?"
"It's a small thing. Owen, don't be rambling, do you dare to bet with Leo?" Montoya naturally believed Leo, anyway, if he unfortunately lost, he should pay the tuition.
"Last time, could it not be that it was Montoya himself who solved the problem last time, but this inferior servant?" Owen had such a thought, and he couldn't help but feel weak, but at this moment, Montoya would definitely add fuel to this matter and spread it around, saying that he was afraid of a servant, and if the preacher heard something dissatisfied with him, it would not be good.
"Hmph, a servant, no matter how powerful he is, how powerful can he be! He will never be able to answer my question! A hundred gold coins will just win back what he lost last time. Thinking of this, Owen settled down and said, "Okay!
Montoya was afraid that Owen would cheat, so he turned to the girl and said, "Claire, can you be the arbitrator?"
Surprisingly, Claire, who has always been indifferent, looked at Leo, and then nodded in agreement, "Then you can solve the problem, and I will do the arbitration." ”
