Chapter 3 The Irregular Students of the Magic Academy
The name ‘Magic’ often sounds mysterious and powerful at first glance.
In fact, it was indeed the case at first, but after thousands of years of evolution, when it comes to the ‘magic’ and the ‘magic energy’ they rely on for their lives, almost all humans on the glorious continent will feel unfamiliar with it - magic energy is everywhere, and as one of the most indispensable energy sources for human beings, it has the characteristics of high efficiency, cleanness and comprehensive functions. The seemingly mysterious "magic" is just a powerful creature that can use magic energy to fight.
However, as it becomes more and more widely familiar and accepted by the world, the profession of "magics", which is seriously restricted by talent, has not only not become rampant or ordinary, but has become increasingly scarce resources, but also has extremely high social status and power. Therefore, with the wave of magic revolution, countless emerging magic academies have emerged, but humans who can become magicians will not become more - this seems very contradictory.
But this is not the case.
Take the Trides Magic Academy where Su Wen is located as an example. Its full name may be called "Trides Magic Energy and Magician Academy". Its main purpose is to cultivate a large number of ordinary talents in the field of magic energy. Its scope covers almost all civil and military magic energy industries, such as magic transportation, magic lighting, magic military industry, etc. Among these industries, magicians are only one of the nearly 100 majors of Trides Magic Academy, and are also the most important and most valued majors.
It is worth mentioning that, like the public magic academies in most cities, this basic education academies can only cultivate magicians at most at the most, and then they will hold graduation rituals for them, and will decide to introduce them to the Advanced Magic Academy to further study based on their grades, or recommend them to take up their posts. This may sound inferior, but you need to know that in Trides, which has a population of nearly 100,000, there are about 50 people who can become magician apprentices every year.
It is not an exaggeration to say that one is from a thousand.
Su Wen is one of the top picks in this thousand-thousandths of choice. Although his magician talent was bought for a lot of points in the redemption system, and it was a broken version of the trick, but this is not the point, well... it's weird.
Now, it is precisely because of his magician talent that Su Wen, who is one in a thousand, has encountered a lot of trouble.
"... Then, magician Su Wen, I won't investigate the fact that you didn't come to attend the graduation ceremony yesterday. Before getting the graduation certificate and the letter of recommendation, can you explain to me first, why is the analysis diagram of the driving magic array not drawn in your paper? Why is the elemental communication experience empty? Why are almost all the text parts copying the library's works? The most important thing is, I want to see you release the complete flame technique here!"
In the office full of ancient classics, Professor Lila, who was trembling all over, was holding Su Wen's stack of graduation thesis and roaring. The countless wrinkles on his face were tangled together, and he was obviously very angry by the young man in front of him.
Su Wen, who was questioned loudly, was silent for a moment, and then shook his head helplessly.
"You know, I can't do anything."
"You..."
Professor Lila yelled for a while, but she still held back the words she didn't spit out.
After he took a few breaths, he spoke again.
"Do you know, just half a year ago when you entered school, I was so excited! At that time, I thought I had met a genius who was rare in a century in the Doron Empire - a full 167-point magic energy conductivity. Even the legendary magic god who fell fifty years ago had less than 140 magic energy conductivity! In other words, you had the hope of becoming the next magic god of the Doron Empire, why...ah!"
After saying that, Professor Lila put down the pile of nonsense papers powerlessly, sighed heavily, and then stared at Su Wen with a puzzled and...ache expression. Su Wen was so uncomfortable that he was staring at this gaze. He had seen similar words and eyes dozens of times on Professor Lila, so familiar that he could remember it even with his toes. However, just like the magician professor who was crazy about being mad, even he felt very helpless about Su Wen's strange situation.
As we all know, when evaluating the abilities of a magician, the most important reference indicators are magic energy storage power and magic energy conductivity. The former determines the amount of magic energy stored in the wizard's body, which is an attribute that can grow. The unit is "Felix", referred to as "Fei", and it is also an important criterion for evaluating the level of a magician; while the latter represents the efficiency of the magician's absorption and release of magic energy, which is almost determined at birth, and the possibility of a acquired improvement is extremely small. The magic energy conductivity not only determines to a large extent which level a magician will stop at, but for magicians of the same level, perhaps only a dozen or even a few points in the magic energy conductivity gap will cause crushing strength suppression - this is the difference in talent.
Magic Conductivity can be rated by scores. If you have the qualification to become a magician with a score of 60 or above, you have the potential to become an intermediate magician with a score of 70 or above. If you can get the Viscount in any non-hostile country, you only need more than 80 or above to achieve magic Conductivity. Therefore, with a slight comparison, Su Wen's magic Conductivity with a score of 167 or above is probably rare in the entire glorious continent. No wonder the old man in front of him was like he picked up a treasure when Su Wen entered school, and he was so happy that he couldn't stop talking about it for many days.
However, if this is true, Su Wen would have reached the peak of his life long ago, and this scene in front of him would not have happened at all. As mentioned earlier, Su Wen's magician talent was exchanged in the redemption system, and he still remembers the description of this talent vividly.
"The ultimate magical talent of the magic weapon (pseudo): With this magical talent, you can show off your power in front of more than 99.99999% of the creatures in the glorious continent, but please be careful at any time. Although you can show off, you may not be really awesome, and you may not be able to run the real TM after pretending to be a thriller every time, so it is recommended that the host do it yourself; the price is 2,000 redemption points."
At that time, Su Wen had realized the destiny of the magicians in this world, and was suffering from the fact that he did not have the talent to become a magician at all. Therefore, after seeing this item, he was overjoyed. Although Su Wen had already understood the system's cheating at that time and knew that there must be a mystery under this description, he thought that as long as he could learn magic, he would not be able to be picky and picky. Moreover, the exchange points of 2,000 are not out of reach. Even if there are any flaws, it would be better to consider it later.
So he bought it.
Then, just after Su Wen confirmed the purchase, he heard a reminder that he would never forget for the rest of his life: "Ding! Congratulations to the host for his successful selection of talent. This type of item is permanently bound to the body and cannot be cancelled or replaced."
Su Wen immediately regretted it.
Of course, after realizing that the regret was ineffective, Su Wen, who calmed down, went to the Magic Academy to test his talent again. Then he alarmed the entire campus and was personally accepted as a disciple by Professor Lila, who is a "high-level magician"... At this time, there was nothing unusual, and Su Wen did experience the feeling of a peerless genius, but unfortunately this feeling continued until he began to learn the magician's most basic subject - Fire Art.
Fire Technique can be said to be a symbol of magician apprenticeship. It is almost impossible for any magician apprentice to master this simplest magic: if you want to output a flame in your palm, you only need to peel off the absorbed magic energy and then output the purified fire element to the body. The purer the flame, the better the purification effect and the higher the proficiency. Well, Su Wen's absorption of magic energy was smooth, but soon he discovered that no matter how hard he tried, he could not separate the mixed elements from the magic energy.
Professor Lila, surprised, soon discovered that the reason why Su Wen could not separate elements from magic energy was because he could not connect with the elements in his body: magic energy is a pure energy made up of various elements and cannot be controlled at will. The fundamental concept of a magician is to extract the elements that can be controlled from these energy and then use them. Su Wen was unable to do this.
In other words, what he absorbed into his body was magic energy, and what he vomited was also magic energy, which was equivalent to an efficient magic energy storage, rather than a versatile electrical appliance. Because of this, Su Wen, who could not sense magic elements, could not draw analytical diagrams that drove the magic array, nor could he write a half-word elemental communication experience. Even those theoretical texts that require a lot of practice as the basis, could not obtain them through his own understanding, and could only copy the original words in the magic book...
This is unheard of for Professor Lila.
In the past six months, he racked his brains to review classics and materials, trying every means to save the "future star" in the magician world, but has not achieved effective results until today. So Professor Lila had to make a decision, shortening Su Wen's original school system, allowing him to graduate with this year's magician apprentice, and then using this opportunity to entrust him to those who may "save" him.
"That's it..."
Professor Lila sighed again and signed his name on the recommendation letter. Then, his index finger pressed heavily on the undried ink. After a faint dark green light flashed, the handwriting seemed to be covered with flowing liquid.
He handed Su Wen the letter of recommendation, and he held his forehead and spoke.
"This is a letter of recommendation from St. Peter's College. You only need to get there within three months and find the Grand Magician of Ptolemy, which is my teacher. I have briefly told him about your situation, so you don't have to worry, he will definitely arrange everything for you... If there is anyone in this world who can cure your strange disease, I think my teacher will be one of them."
After saying that, Professor Lila seemed to have been several years older.
He waved his hand and signaled Su Wen to get out of his office.
Su Wen is indeed thick-skinned, so he doesn't mind others calling him "Tridys' shame", and can easily ignore the guys in the academy who look down on him. After all, he might not even have the qualifications to enter the magic academy. However, he still feels a little guilty about Professor Lila, the old man who has been worried about him, because Professor Lila was actually indirectly tricked by his system, and even thought that he had some strange disease to communicate with the element.
He bowed his head and gave a mage ceremony, and Su Wen left the quaint office.
He took a deep breath and realized that his life in Trides was about to end.
He was also somewhat lucky to Professor Lila's decision while feeling guilty and grateful - that was the tutor of the great magician. It can be said that he was the top of the pyramid of the profession of magicians, second only to the existence of the magic god, and his understanding of magic and magic energy is naturally very thorough. If it is, if it is, Master Ptolemy mentioned by Professor Lila can find a solution, then wouldn't he become a real genius?
However, after graduation, the magician apprenticeship can enjoy a three-month holiday and plan and determine his life during this period. Therefore, Su Wen saw that his time was still abundant, so he quickly got out of this complex relationship.
He needed more gold coins, and there was a lot to do during the period before leaving Trides City.
And at this moment, a malicious voice rang behind him.
"Ahhh, who do I think it is? Isn't this our genius!"
