Chapter 5 The Last Apprenticeship
Not all the apprentices at Baitrila Master Academy are minors, but all the people living in the six towers are minors. The apprentices here have either paid a large sum of money, are relatives of a certain lecturer, or are
For people with special talents and pedigrees like Delta, there are probably about a hundred apprentices in each tower, and each class is a class. Their major subjects are basically determined by the ones taught by their mentors.
division.
Apprentices who have no money or power and are allowed to join the academy only after passing the examination based on their intelligence and perseverance live in the main tower. They will not move to the side tower until they become first-time mages and choose their major and minor subjects.
So it’s really annoying for children.
Delta has a refreshing ponytail, and his hairstyle looks no different from the people around him. But his elf-like beauty makes him as eye-catching as gold lying among the cobblestones. Many boys have been forcibly improved because of him.
Decide that your future wife should be at least better looking than Delta.
It has created a good trend in which the number of boys having puppy love among the new generation of apprentices in the secret literature department is far lower than in previous years.
Delta, who had caused all this without knowing it, forked a piece of stewed potato into her mouth and ignored the jealous gaze of the dark male apprentice sitting next to her.
"Miss Windsor hopes to give you a portrait this afternoon." Pucci informed Delta Fantasy very politely, thinking he was very polite, but he didn't know that his little emotions had been clearly understood by the other party's ability.
Miss Windsor wants to paint my portrait?
Although he couldn't remember who Windsor was, Delta couldn't help but sigh at how easy the apprentice's study life was. He only had to study for a whole morning, and the homework he left could be completed in less than two hours. The apprentice could even do drawing, which was an extremely time-consuming activity.
Interests and hobbies can be saved.
Hastur screamed in Delta's mind: "This guy's jealousy is as stinky as the dung beetles who live in the open toilet and work hard every day. And he dares to call him Pucci when he is so black, I think
He wants to be seduced by our Tataola!"
"Why are you still making jokes about Jojo? And who the hell is Tata? Don't add words just to force imitation." Delta was speechless.
"They say it's us. You are Delta and I am Hasta. We are both from the generation of Ta, and they are split from the same soul. They are one person. There are two characters in the name, which is shortened to Tata.
, there’s nothing wrong with it!”
“Ta Zi is not bad”
The conversation in Delta's mind was unknown to Pucci, but his apparent lack of response was interpreted as hesitation.
"Is he still hesitating in the face of Miss Windsor's invitation? Is he thinking about how to refuse? How disgusting!" Pucci thought angrily in his heart. After being entrusted by Windsor, he made mental preparations all night.
Have the courage to come to Delta.
When one person paints another person's portrait or something, isn't that an opportunity for the two of them to be alone?
Windsor Noeva, the daughter of Viscount Noeva, can be said to be the goddess of his dreams. He fell in love with Windsor at first sight when he first entered the academy. Delta joined the academy midway, but because of her face, she attracted many apprentices.
This includes Windsor.
After all, Pucci is still a simple-minded child who has not been infected by the open atmosphere of the dirty adult world. What he longs for is the kind of love concept promoted in knight novels.
"Are good-looking people born with privileges?" Pucci thought painfully, completely forgetting why he fell in love with Windsor at first sight.
Delta finally ended the conversation in her mind, put down her fork and asked casually: "The apprentice promotion exam is coming soon, won't she review it?"
"Review? You need to review such a simple thing? You won't fail the exam, right?" Pucci had doubts in his eyes.
The apprentice promotion exam is really very simple. It only tests a few basic contents: the reading and writing of elven characters, the ancient writing of Paffa, the first human empire in the Silver Age, whether the spell-casting gestures are standard, the copying and use of scrolls,
There are eight topics including the production of twelve basic potions, the development history of the Kingdom of Disorn, the analysis of common minerals, and the recitation of safety regulations for magic experiments.
Each subject is ten points, totaling eighty points, and sixty points is considered qualified. After spending six years on it, there is no problem in passing the exam. It is not knowledge that requires inferences.
Delta also realized that he had made a mistake. He spent most of his time studying on his own and almost forgot how simple the academy courses were.
In order to make up for this, he said solemnly: "What does sixty points mean? Of course it is for the full score. Even if it is 79 points, it means that this person's level is only 79 points, still within the standard range. And if he takes the test with eight points
Ten points is just because the full score is eighty points."
"For me, it's not enough to meet the standards in the eyes of ordinary people. If you want to take control of your life, you can only surpass the standards!" Delta clenched her fist, and her girl-like appearance could not conceal her passion.
"Unfettered by the standards set by ordinary people, resolutely dominate your own life. Isn't this what the book says, the pioneering spirit of a knight as bright as gold?" Pucci said in shock, where was he who was sent to the academy to grow up since he was a child?
Have you tried this chicken soup?
He couldn't help feeling ashamed and reflecting on himself. It was normal for someone to like such a progressive and beautiful being. He had always hoped that Windsor would notice him, but he didn't realize his shortcomings. Regardless of his family background, he was just an ordinary person.
If you pass the qualifying line, wouldn't you be no different from others?
Only by transcending the ordinary can you be qualified to be admired.
With respect for the golden spirit, Pucci nodded to Delta: "I will convey your wishes to Miss Windsor." After saying that, he left his seat.
"He is really easy to coax." Hasta commented.
"It's just a young man's blind pursuit of love." Delta dismissed this, thinking that this was just another mortal controlled by hormone secretion.
Object. What kind of object are you looking for? Can you look good on yourself?
While he stuffed a sweet roll into his mouth, he looked at the apprentices in the cafeteria who were not against him, so that he could complete the spiritual ritual of giving fear when he retaliates. But until the end of breakfast, he could not
I remember who I had enemies with.
Even the apprentices who initially disliked him were defeated by the tactic of "everyone can copy my homework for free" and abandoned the bright side and turned to the dark side.
"Forget it, I will take a month's leave after the promotion exam. Then you can go to Denches City, which is closest to the college, to look for opportunities. Unscrupulous traders can be found everywhere."
"A hundred years later, the feared Dark Lord on the continent of Bellingwo, a cunning and mysterious man who cannot be named directly, took the first step in his grand hegemony in the 176th year of the Poetry Era: to intimidate the citizens of the kingdom who were doing their best business.
"
"I'm afraid I wouldn't have led a bunch of shadow mages and necromancers to sweep the continent, and even named this alliance Death Eaters. I'd wait until middle age to develop the three unforgivable curses."
"You can have the last one." Hasta agreed. "In order to match your handsome appearance, I even thought of a poem number for you."
Delta suddenly became interested: "Read it and listen."
"The fishes are sinking and the wild geese are falling, and the birds are noisy, and the shy flowers are closing in the moonlight and they are trembling with sorrow. Dreams are short and long, but they are all dreams. What year comes and goes!"
"This" Delta was shocked: "This seems interesting, but why does it sound familiar?"
"The Peony Pavilion."
""
At eight o'clock in the morning, Ji Zuo, the lecturer of the basic alchemy class, came to the classroom. He was a graduate of this college the year before, with average mage strength. However, he did not go to work for those nobles or join the army, but chose to stay in the college as a lecturer.
.The background of the son of an earl, his handsome face and his humorous personality made him very popular among female apprentices.
Today should be the last basic alchemy class taught to the apprentices. Next to him stood several teaching assistants. The teaching assistants were holding familiar small buckets and boxes of test tubes.
Something bad flashed through Delta's heart.
Jizuo clapped his hands, attracting the attention of hundreds of apprentices here, and then said: "Dear future great magicians, this is our last basic alchemy class, and the content of this class is not within the scope of the exam.
, so the homework will not be assigned."
Low cheers erupted in the classroom. It was Ji Zuo's class. If it were other lecturers, they would not dare to be so bold.
"Of course, you still can't slack off in your studies. Even if you are born a descendant of a famous horse, you still need to be pushed all the time to take advantage of your pedigree. After you finish the exam, you will have a month and a half of vacation. You can arrange it as you like. But you will not come back until August.
At that time, I would not be as kind as I am now. If you want to minor in alchemy, please think again."
None of the apprentices in the audience could imagine how ferocious Ji Zuo looked, so they laughed softly.
"Everyone, please go to the stage according to your seat number to receive today's experimental materials."
One by one, the apprentices came to the stage to receive their own test tubes and some of the liquid in the bucket.
When they all sat back down, Ji Zuo spoke: "You can touch these liquids directly. They are not toxins or corrosive."
These viscous liquids are translucent and glow with light blue, with bubbles interspersed among them. If you are a more emotional person, you may be able to find artistic beauty in it. In addition, the lecturer said before that it is non-toxic, so there are bold apprentices
I have already put my finger in it and dipped it in, and I seem to enjoy the feeling of twisting it.
In order to attract Windsor's attention, Pucci, whom she had met in the morning, tasted a little more professionally with a serious expression and posture.
Delta, who had already speculated in his mind, put an end to all his curiosity and looked at his experimental materials solemnly. He mourned for those who were touching the liquid.
These pampered young masters and ladies are more mysophobic than him, and touching the soil with their hands is already their limit. I wonder if they can surpass their past selves this time?
After seeing that the apprentices had boldly touched and smelled it, and some even tasted it, Ji Zuo announced with a smile: "I'm glad to see everyone's enthusiasm for exploring the unknown, so now let's announce today's topic."
The bad news came as expected, and only a few cautious apprentices survived.
Each apprentice opened his mouth wide, the laughter and discussion disappeared, and there was only dead silence.
On this day, the apprentices experienced the devilish side of instructor Jizuo for the first time. That was a mark that could never be erased in their young hearts.
Who cried the most in the class? Puqi’s green shirt was wet in the class
"Maybe I can stay in the academy to develop in the future." Delta has already thought about giving his students a sea of 100,000 exercises and all kinds of disgusting biological materials in the future.
