Chapter XXXVII. Rules of the Academy

Well, hell, it's a little late again......

Okay, anyway, in the chapter comment post, how many will I reply to it, I don't want to take 100 points alone, so I'll leave it to you......

————

"Those who do not have a pass will be refunded the tuition fee of 4,500 gold coins, but there is still a chance to challenge, only once, and an additional fee of 500 gold coins will be charged......"

The precautions that are loudly proclaimed and the size around them are uneven, messy and mixed with surprise, unwillingness, and doubt...... The various sounds mixed together and became extraordinarily indistinct, and Edward frowned. (The text was first published in the biquge.info of the book) and found that there was not much surprise in my heart—no, or rather, it should be too much surprise, suppressing that little bit of joy.

He lowered his head and glanced at the badge on his chest that had appeared at some point.

No, in fact it would be more appropriate to call it an amulet, because this palm-sized thing was hung around the neck by a thin chain, and the material seemed to be ordinary steel, dark and inconspicuous, but in Edward's special vision, it shimmered a little red— Well, in fact, if you remove this bit of shine, this thing is really clumsy to death, and the half-arc shape seems to be the silhouette of a bird with wings about to fly, but Edward only glanced at it, and then connected it with the dog tag in his mind, and could no longer be converted.

The same eye-catching, the same unaesthetic.

This is clearly not the result you wanted...... Edward shook his head, noticing that most of the people around him had a badge on their bodies, and of course, there were a few people with dead faces, like mourners, and nothing. Edward searched his memories and remembered that they were supposed to be the ones who had hung up in the Trial—but not entirely, to be precise, they were the ones who didn't do anything, and didn't even send out a single spell.

Ignoring the various gazes that shone like substance, he nodded to the aristocratic young man not far away, who was holding his sign, smiling and making a congratulatory gesture to him.

“...... Alright, Edward Vincent, your reward as the lead apprentice is a blank spell book and a magic robe attached. Next, come with me, who has been given the badge, and listen to the rules you must know......" The black-robed mage slowly emerged from the darkness and waved his hand, and the neatly folded fabric and a large brown book flew out of thin air and fell into Edward's hands.

Quietly taking the two things, Edward glanced at them - the spell book was made of ordinary parchment, there was no spell record, and the value of the sale on the market was only twenty gold coins. The robe was an ordinary gray-brown linen robe, with a slight enchanted luster, but it was very dull, and it was not a high-level object.

It's just that the meaning it represents is enough to cause another uproar.

"It's not fair"

The questioning voice had a little bit of the immaturity of a girl who had not yet faded, but it was sharp because of anger, and the speaker squeezed out of the crowd and jumped in front of Edward, a snow-white finger almost touching the latter's nose: "Why is he the chief? I can see very clearly, this guy didn't even cast a spell from beginning to end during the trial, but he only ran fast to the end, and he couldn't get out of that trap, why did he become the chief? If he broke a few skeletons alone...... Those Krurod people...... The apprentices from Croude killed more undead."

Not surprisingly, the uproar in the venue became more and more high-pitched.

In fact, the same question had been brewing in everyone's minds for a long time, but because of the majesty of the mages, no one dared to face it.

All of the people here have gone through the same amount of effort to get into the Academy, but unlike someone who is destitute, most of them don't just want to enter the Academy—they have to put more effort into making it to be able to go further down the path of spells. Especially as for how the academy system can be favored by the mages, so that it is smooth sailing, they have carried out countless detailed investigations.

Therefore, they naturally know better than the guy who got the position, but didn't think so, the so-called 'chief' qualification is not just a name - it also represents a series of privileges, such as the right to read, the use of real materials, and the right to buy magic items in the mage tower, etc., and more importantly, in the eyes of the mages, the status is superhuman, and naturally there will be many more opportunities to learn...... It can be said that it is the position that is closest to the mage in the expected.

Although they knew that this privilege would not be so easy to obtain, they still had a luxury in their hearts...... Now this unique opportunity was obtained by a person who looked quite old and didn't even look like a mage, and they were naturally a little unwilling in their hearts.

And this sharp questioning made this unwillingness directly magnified.

Without the slightest cousin, but was chosen to be the chief?

Could it be that this rustic-dressed guy really has that kind of bottomless strength, which makes the Academy of Magic have some special accommodation for him? But it doesn't make sense? The legendary mages attach great importance to rules and commitments, and in the first hundred and fifty years from the first day of the academy's operation to the present, there has been no rumor that the lucky man can knock on that door without relying on his talent...... Even if there is that kind of transaction hidden in the shadows, it must have happened under the name of some profound nobleman, that older man who looks like an earthy person, a hillbilly-like guy, can still have a connection with those characters who are high in the clouds, and there is a connection on some level?

But if that's the case, does he have to come here and compete with his own people?

Even if they know that with their own table xiàn, the result has changed and it has nothing to do with them...... But in any case, the instinctive rejection of the result, and the hatred of the successful, still made this question echo all the more - especially for those apprentices who were in the same group as Edward and 'knew a little bit about the inside story', this touch was even more magnified by a hundred times.

"Silence"

The black-robed mage looked coldly at the angry crowd, and finally let out a roar comparable to a dragon's roar

"Use your stupid heads to remember...... Who was the first to notice a monster attacking? Who was the one who reminded you to cast a spell? Who was the first to discover the path? Who was the first to stop you from touching that turntable? Who was the first to remind you that the sea serpent was poisonous?"

His gaze swept over the group of apprentices who were shocked by the loud noise, and he slowly spoke, and a series of questions from his hoarse voice pierced everyone's eardrums like sharp needle swords: "Didn't escape? Ha, I think you guys who climbed up should be a little blind, and see what's inside the passage above the platform, right?"

Glancing at a group of imps who had quieted down, his voice gradually deepened:

"Firmly remember what I said next, the value of you slug mages is not that you can throw fireballs and lightning, but that you have a wise mind that manipulates the whole situation, and a keen eye that perceives a qiē...... That's where we really feel powerful, and when we encounter any problem, we first think of solving it with magic, which is the most stupid of all kinds of expressions, and it is a complete proof of vulnerability. What we are looking for is to be able to solve all the problems that magic can't solve with magic without any magic - and certainly brute force, with just our clever minds. ”

The mage's anger instantly suppressed all the imps' complaints...... There are only countless eyes left that are like substance, gathered together.

As the center of his gaze, Edward bowed his head slightly, but there was no joy in his heart - the mage made it clear that the puzzle should be solved by children who could just leave, and naturally the level of his own performance was not worthy of pride in the eyes of those mages.

In fact, if you talk about it, this test is really not too difficult, only everyone acting together is the biggest trap - although these little ghosts are impulsive, but there are not many smart people among them, if only a few or even one person face that situation, maybe you will notice more things.

So, someone was regretting in his heart, thinking that this trial would not end so easily, so he solved the puzzle on his own, but now it was too noticeable...... Knowing this, it would be better to fly up directly with the Krurod, although the opportunity was slightly lost, but it was not particularly eye-catching.

"Also, you will be a member of the Academy from today onwards, so you must keep this in mind when doing everything and expressing any opinions, and fully consider your own identity and ability, it is never a mistake to be cautious...... I don't care what you were before you entered here, whether you were the emperor of the family, or the excellent people in the eyes of others, from the first time you stepped through the door, you were a group of the lowest apprentices, and if you want to be worthy of your status, you have to rely on yourself and fight for it from now on. ”

The black-robed mage obviously didn't care about someone's mental activity, and glanced at the group of children in front of him, he seemed to be angry—as if no one could react, he stretched out his hand and drew a rune in the air:" Since you are recognized as an apprentice of the Academy, you need to abide by the rules of the Academy, and apprentices like you are not qualified to wear any magical equipment other than the regulations, and I don't care how you dress yourself when you step out of the Academy, but remember, here, you can only use what the Academy provides, and there are no enchantments."

So the strange power condensed in the air, turning into invisible palms, and wandered around the descendants of these petty nobles or wealthy merchants, unjustifiably tearing off their robes, taking away their staffs, and stripping their talismans and rings...... All the equipment with magical fluctuations became the target of that power - if it was just that, it would be fine, but some people were not spared even the shirts and boots on their bodies, although a few children tried to resist, but they could not withstand the advantage of the opponent's numbers and strength, so in just a dozen breaths, a group of originally proud peacocks became the chickens who lost the fight.

"Follow me. ”

The mage didn't care about their embarrassment, he turned around directly at the first time and began to move forward, so after a few breaths, a group of unlucky people who had to be disheveled had to carefully follow the team with their bare feet, and from time to time let out a small scream or two that was made by the lines on the ground.

No one dared to complain, after all, most of the people standing here were self-proclaimed figures who had studied the field of magic, and they could naturally roughly assess the approximate strength of this mage - the "invisible servant" was not a profound magic, but it was able to summon so many numbers silently, and the ability of this mage must at least have Cheng Dù who opened his real name. There are even one or two strata.

The team moved forward unhurriedly, but there were no more waves—except for the whispered discussions of the apprentices, the hoarse explanations of the mages, and the surprisingly quiet in the mage tower, walking in the long, smooth, carved corridor with countless magic patterns, not to mention the mage, not even the apprentices.

"The morning class every day is all you have. It doesn't matter if you don't understand it, because here, all the things that the magicians want to explain are free to choose, and we don't interfere too much, so if you don't understand, then whatever you want. As long as you can get the certification of the Kingdom Mage in three years, you can continue to enter and exit this place, and no one in the academy will be in the mood to take care of the rest. ”

"As for the basics, you can ask any teacher, but this kind of individual teaching requires some special fees, of course, this reward is not necessarily cash, but may also be some special items, as an assistant to the real yàn or to carry out some special tasks, when you carry out these tasks, there will be a formal contract to write out the conditions and remuneration, which will be collected by the teacher of your choice, and the academy will not interfere in any way. ”

In addition, a true mage needs to enrich himself by constantly fighting in addition to learning, which is the famous saying of the dean, so the academy will conduct some actual combat tests from time to time, so as to give different evaluations to the apprentices, it is said that in this kind of trial, the apprentices who are excellent can get the opportunity to learn from the senior mage. It also has more privileges. ”

"However, I need to remind you in advance that such a contract is also not bound by the Academy, and the consequences will be borne by the person who signs it. If any of you have any accidents because of this, the Academy will not give you a solution. There is only one piece of advice we can give you......" Before the first door, he paused slightly, and some part of his hoarse words made most of the apprentices' hearts tremble: "Survival itself is a trial. ”

Of course, there are some people who are happy about it.

It's just that soon, Edward was a little disappointed-

Because judging from the introduction of the mage, the most mysterious place on the whole continent seems to be no different in some ways from the educational facilities of some of the self-proclaimed institutions of higher learning in memory - even more loosely.

In a normal sense, there are only two classes of fixed study time a day, which is a large class, and a group of students wrapped in robes of various colors are gathered in those wide rooms, with a sleepy expression, staring at a huge flat crystal in front of them. The mage in charge of teaching, on the other hand, had a hurried expression...... Throwing what they thought was a simple theory on a flat crystal, with some vague guidance, left the students below dizzy or inexplicable......

Of course, this is also a free choice, and the apprentice can also stay in the mage academy to study on his own, and return to the city to spend time drinking.

As for the library...... There are them here, but they are not large, and the amount of books in them can be seen at a glance - yes, you read that right, just at a glance - there are only a dozen bookshelves, and the collection of books is not as good as the township-level institutions in the memory of an apprentice, especially on most of the shelves, there are also the words "Illustrated".

The rest of the place is even more boring,

Or maybe it's because there aren't many of these apprentice-only newcomers who can actually get in - most of the time is spent in the long corridors, and there are very few things to know...... Five spacious classrooms, a library, a real room, and a place to buy materials and magical items are all there is to remember.

And for the exploratory curiosity in the eyes of this group of newcomers, the mage dispelled it with one sentence.

"It's not a big problem, but you'd better not set foot in a place I haven't introduced, every door here, including the open corridors, has its own permissions, and although most of the doors will only block your progress, we can't guarantee that one of them won't make a mistake and the consequences will be a little troublesome...... At least I hate corpses that need to be scooped with a spoon. ”

This description seems to be particularly convincing when spoken by that hoarse voice...... The silent little ghosts didn't dare to say anything except swallow saliva and tremble in their hearts.

Everyone is well aware of the habits of magicians, and for what they feel is important, a few preset magic traps are necessary, and in this place with the largest number of mages in the world, magic of any kind and power can appear. Not to mention a corpse scooped with a spoon...... Even more miserable ones are possible.

......

After an afternoon of waiting, trials, and walking, fatigue will give birth to the ** that takes up a large part of everyone's mind. Therefore, after the black-robed mage announced his disbandment, most of the imps dispersed in a hurry.

But several extraordinarily tall figures gathered together at this time.

"Still can't do it...... Your Highness. Looking left and right to make sure there was no one around, the bald Krulord approached the only woman among them: "The magic protection here is too tight, and every door is tightly guarded. We can't even get close. ”

"Don't be in a hurry...... It's a long time coming. Also, don't talk about that here in the future. A subtle, but stern voice came from under the mask, and after a pause, she suddenly glanced around: "Which of you saw that guy...... That guy named Edward?"

"Huh?" the bald head was stunned: "I saw him left behind just now, I guess I don't want to meet those little ghosts......"

So the tall woman was silent for a moment, and then turned and walked the way she came.

Turning a corner, she paused on her feet, and stopped in a shadow—at the end of the corridor in the distance, a figure in a gray burqa stopped in front of a doorless hallway.

He seemed to be watching something closely, but soon, he stretched out a palm forward......

Then, shrouded in the hallway, an invisible film of light flashed out, and then quietly receded......
