Henry's name was given to him by himself.

When all students enter the school, they will only be assigned a student number. After they have basic literacy skills, the first test given by the teacher is to choose a decent name for themselves.

Henry's studies are quite good in all aspects.

The only regret is that I was not able to enter the magic apprentice class at the beginning, but was assigned to the craftsman apprentice class.

This is actually not entirely his fault. Before entering school, what he did every day was to help his mother work in the fields and prepare meals before his father came home. When Teacher Elly was giving a lecture, his mind was completely on noon

I didn't listen to a single word about the food that was strictly regulated by the school, which made me look confused during the subsequent test.

In addition to mathematics and writing, the learning direction assigned to him by the school was to be a blacksmith apprentice - at least that's what he thought.

Because his father is a blacksmith.

But now I have been in school for a year, and although I have learned a lot of practical knowledge, I will definitely be able to do more than my father when I enter the alchemy workshop in the future, but I always feel a regret in my heart.

If I had listened carefully to Teacher Elly's first few lessons, maybe I would be a magic apprentice now.

What Henry envied most were the students in the school who wore uniform gray robes.

"Henry, let's go and eat."

Henry came home a little late because he lamented in front of the bulletin board for a long time.

It’s also brown bread, but the one distributed by the school is obviously much more delicious than the one made at home.

My mother said that her bread was made from the leftover rye from last year, and was mixed with a lot of sawdust, otherwise she would be hungry at night.

"A letter to all teachers and students..."

He thought of the young men in gray robes in the alchemy workshop. They didn't need to work by themselves. They usually just sat at the table and wrote and drew, looking very relaxed.

Before Haite finished speaking, Henry had already rushed out.

"Today's recipe..."

"That's what the teacher said." Henry explained seriously: "Magicians need to awaken, but magic apprentices don't. Except that they can't cast magic, there's not much difference in other aspects. The teacher also said... there are too few magicians.

Counting on them, Xia Ya can only change by relying on magic apprentices..."

Rafe knew his son's ambition very well, but after hearing it, he still wondered: "Can anyone become a magic apprentice?"

The content of the chat was boring at the age of thirteen or fourteen. Before leaving, Haite said again: "Have you seen the school announcement? There will be an additional exam next month, and those who pass it can enter the magic apprentice class.

"

Their family no longer lacks the school meal.

The members of the construction team wearing uniforms had a clear division of labor and cooperated skillfully. They built the house quickly and beautifully.

"I really envy you. My dad is in the logging team outside the city and has to come home very late." Haidt said with a slight regret.

"Dad, I want to tell you something."

The content of the notice is very simple: there will be a school-wide test next month, and those who pass it, no matter what class they were originally studying in, can directly enter the junior magic apprentice class.

This guy is the son of the carpenter's family next door. He eats so much that it gives Miss Jennifer, who manages the school, a headache.

I heard from my mother that before the lord came to the fortress, the land around Late Winter City could not grow wheat, and only some local coarse rye could be grown. I had never thought of bread made from that kind of rye before, but now it is really a lifetime.

I don't want to eat it anymore.

The basics of elements and magic sound difficult at first, but once you get into it, you will find it particularly interesting. There is a sense of enlightenment that "this world is actually like this".

"Notice of adjusting school time..."

They often get together with textbooks in hand to discuss things that others don't understand, such as the magic pattern framework, calculation modules, surface fields... Henry has never heard of many words.

"..."

Fortunately, my father is a blacksmith and is good at various crafts. According to the Government Affairs Office, if you want to repair the house in advance, you can do it yourself after receiving the materials. If it is not qualified, the construction team will repair it again at the end.

"Xia Ya..." For someone like Rafe who has never left Dusk Winter City in his life, the name Xia Ya has always had little to do with him, but since he entered the alchemy workshop, whether it is the manager or those wearing gray

The magic apprentice in the robe, the most spoken words in his mouth are two words - lord, Xia Ya.

After telling what happened at school, Henry watched his father's reaction nervously.

That's white bread, I've never seen it before.

As he walked out of the classroom, his classmate Haite called him to the cafeteria as usual.

"Magic Apprentice Class Continuous Enrollment Notice"

"Our school only has one bulletin board..."

"Yes!"

There are 2,800 students in the school, and there are 300 magic apprentices. Some of those one level higher than them have already been able to enter the magic laboratory to help Mr. Walder do experiments. The gap between people is so big.

The thatched houses that used to require bending down to get in and out have now been replaced by tall and neat wooden houses. Although the place has not become larger, the overall area is much cleaner and brighter.

Unexpectedly, the school suddenly issued such a notice.

It's a pity that the extracurricular class time is limited, and there is not much taught. Henry has always only listened to it as a matter of interest.

"My dad too."

Henry ran to the school bulletin board, stopped panting, looked up and read:

Father and son are sitting at the dining table.

"Of course, my dad gives out two hundred every month."

After carefully reading word for word, he felt ecstatic in his heart.

Entering the house, my father had already returned home and was sitting on the bench at the door changing his shoes, while my mother was preparing dinner by the fire.

Henry quickly found what he wanted to see.

On the one hand, Henry wanted to make up for his previous regrets by following the lectures almost every time.

"About uniform measurements for school uniforms..."

Half a year ago, the school added a magic apprentice interest class in the evening. Anyone can attend, but there is no requirement.

"I won't go. My dad will come home early today and we will have dinner together." Henry remembered his mother's instructions.

"The logging team is also very good. There will be additional subsidies. Have you seen the copper plant?"

My father's craftsmanship is very good, but there is still a big gap between the wooden house he built and the construction team.

Late Winter City is repairing the houses of residents door to door, but due to lack of manpower, the progress is very slow. Now it has only reached one corner of the northwest city, and Henry's family has not yet had their turn.

"Where's the announcement?"

The school still manages meals as it did when we first came in a year ago, and the food now is obviously better than before, and the brown bread can be paired with a small piece of white bread.

But if there is nothing special, he will still stay at school for dinner. On the one hand, the food in the cafeteria is delicious, and on the other hand, he wants to go to extracurricular classes in the evening.

School ends at five o'clock in the afternoon.

"This guy...has never been so active in eating."

The place where they are is called Xia Ya, and Mudong City is only a part of Xia Ya.

Xia Ya... I really didn't think anything of it before, but now that I'm used to it, I actually feel an inexplicable sense of pride.

"In that case, you can decide for yourself."

"Here, there is bitter thistle in today's soup..." Mother Leah came over carrying an earthen pot.
