There was an angry expression on the coachman's face. It was obvious that I didn't want to be in your business. However, for the sake of the gold coins, he calmed down and looked at Xia Yanzhen carefully and asked, "You're not
Our people here?”
"Yes, I'm a new transfer student here."
"No wonder."
The driver suddenly realized and found a reason for himself to make money, "Then let me remind you that in our free magical world of Gran, magical animals are very noble existences and must not be used to serve the selfish desires of magicians. Do you understand?"
"So that's it." Xia Yanzhen nodded and entered the car first, but did not close the glass door and continued to ask, "Uncle, do you know Hugh Ted?"
"Shut up!"
The coachman reacted fiercely, "How dare you call the Minister of Magic by his first name!"
"Minister of Magic?" Xia Yanzhen asked, "Is he the Minister of Magic? I heard he is the savior?"
"The minister was called the Child of Destiny, and later the savior of the Lange Magic World. After defeating the extremely evil man, he became the Minister of Magic for ten years." The coachman said, "Today's free Glen Magic World is under the hands of the Minister.
Zao Zao, you, an outsider, really don’t know anything.”
"Well, after all, I just got here." Xia Yanzhen smiled, "It's time to hit the road. I don't want to be late on the first day of school."
"You have been late for a long time." The coachman started running, pulling the carriage into the air.
About half an hour later, Xia Yanzhen came to the edge of a large lake, and the carriage drove along the shore at low altitude.
You can see a magnificent castle on the other side of the lake.
In the darkness, little bits of light emanate from everywhere in the castle.
Ten minutes later, the carriage stopped outside the castle. A long corridor formed a "wall" and inside was a wide green grass square.
An archway allows people to enter and exit.
There is no real door and no one is guarding it, but there must be some magic at work.
Xia Yanzhen got off the carriage, took out the crumpled admission certificate from the bag, and walked into the magic academy.
Walking through the deserted green grass square, Xia Yanzhen came to the castle gate.
There are three main castles in El Magic Academy, forming an angle with each other.
The largest, huge and towering castle in front of Xia Yanzhen brought quite a sense of oppression in the dark night.
The light gate was more than ten meters high and looked like black iron. Xia Yanzhen stretched out his hand and pressed on the door, slowly moving forward.
Along with some kind of cracking sound, the door was opened by Xia Yanzhen.
"What happened!"
At this moment, a rough voice came, and someone rushed over. He looked at Xia Yanzhen who pushed the door open, pulled out his wand, and said, "Stop!"
Xia Yanzhen stopped and waved the admission letter: "I'm here to go to school."
"Are you a new student? No, you are the transfer student. You are late!"
The visitor said, waving his magic wand to take the letter away from Xia Yanzhen.
But the letter remained untouched.
The administrator of Ayr College, Mrs. Hanni, waved her wand again strangely and recited a spell.
Xia Yanzhen let go of his hand, and the letter fell a little and flew into Mrs. Hanni's hand.
After reading the letter, he said: "Come with me quickly, the sorting ceremony is about to end."
After taking Xia Yanzhen for a hurried walk in Nuoda's castle, Mrs. Hanni took Xia Yanzhen to the "highest peak" of Al College - the auditorium.
The opening ceremony and some important events are held here.
"Come in quickly." Mrs. Hanney opened the door.
Xia Yanzhen looked at the manager again and walked into the auditorium.
The manager of the Magic Academy is not a real manager. To put it bluntly, his profession is a bit like a combination of a dormitory manager and a security guard.
Patrol the school and catch students violating regulations.
There's nothing wrong with that.
His own attire was a little strange. He was a middle-aged man with a beard, but he was wearing a feminine skirt, which made him look particularly weird.
It gives people a strong visual shock.
Commonly known as, spicy for eyes.
Xia Yanzhen entered the auditorium with the letter. A teacher nearby noticed it and immediately approached. After confirming Xia Yanzhen's identity, he took him to the corner and said, "You are late."
"Maybe the train is late?"
"The bus is never late, forget it - as a transfer student, you need to go through the sorting ceremony. The freshmen have just been sorted into different schools, and it's your turn." The teacher said.
In the spacious auditorium, eight huge long tables occupy the main area.
The table was full of people, and everyone had food in front of them.
It's just that for the time being, I can't tell much difference between the students sitting at these tables.
Xia Yan really didn't see uniforms. Everyone was wearing their own clothes, colorful and flashy.
It can only be determined that some of the younger students, up to 11 or 12 years old, should be students who have just entered this year.
Ayre College is a "six-year" college.
Freshmen are admitted to the first grade, ranging in age from ten to twelve years old.
Now all the students in the college are gathered in the auditorium.
As for the number of people, it is roughly estimated to be around two thousand people.
This number is about the same as that of an ordinary elementary school in Zhengguo, or a little less.
Xia Yanzhen was brought to the auditorium on a stage slightly higher than the ground. There was a stone platform similar to a speech box, and a chair in front of it.
There is a pointed hat on the stone platform.
The wrinkles on it present a strange human face shape.
Next to him stood a kind-hearted old man in white robes, white beard, and white hair.
Dressed up like Gandalf the White.
"This is Principal Merlin."
"Xia, you're finally here." Principal Mei Lin smiled at Xia Yanzhen with a kind face.
Obviously, Munster Summer has been known for a long time.
"Well... I accidentally hit my head on the train when I came here, so I was a little late." Xia Yanzhen said.
"It's okay, let me treat you."
Merlin took out a slender wand from his wide sleeves and asked Xia Yan seriously, "How do you feel?"
"Feeling better now."
Xia Yan, who had no feeling at all, smiled.
"Then assign the colleges." Merlin put away his wand and said with a smile.
"The four major colleges?"
Xia Yanzhen sat on the chair and asked.
"The Big Four? No, no, no, that was before." Merlin smiled, "Today's Albiti College pays attention to respecting everyone's wishes, and we give all students the right to choose freely. The college now has a total of one hundred and thirteen
There are sixteen branches, and the Sorting Hat will assign you to the branch you like, or you can create a brand new branch yourself."
"..."
Xia Yanzhen blinked.
One hundred and thirty-six branches? No wonder you are dressed in such colorful clothes. You are really free.
"I see."
Xia Yanzhen nodded, "Let's get started."
He also wants to test.
"Let's take a test and see if you're suitable - I mean, which college do you like?"
As the Sorting Hat said this, it automatically floated up and landed on Xia Yanzhen's head.
The principal next to him was smiling, waiting for the sorting hat to be sorted.
The students below, except for the freshmen, have little interest in the branch, but most of them still set their sights here.
In particular, many students dressed as girls looked at Xia Yanzhen with burning eyes.
Time passes minute by minute.
The smile on Principal Merlin's face remained a little stiff.
Why didn't the Sorting Hat react? It even lowered its tip?
Xia Yanzhen grabbed the sorting hat, put it back on the stone platform, and let go.
"ah……"
The Sorting Hat suddenly "woke up" and made some frightening sounds. It seemed to have been swallowed up by endless darkness just now.
Merlin waved his wand to recharge the Sorting Hat's energy.
It may be that the magic energy is insufficient. The Sorting Hat is an "old magic item" that has been used for many years.
Occasionally, magic energy may be insufficient and lose its effect.
"I'm ready, come again."
The sorting hat flew up for the second time and landed on Xia Yanzhen's head.
Then, the tip of the hat that stood up fell down again.
Merlin looked strange and waved his wand, but saw no change in the Sorting Hat.
"What's going on here?"
Merlin is about to summon the Sorting Hat to take a look at the situation.
Xia Yanzhen picked up the sorting hat one step ahead and put it back on the stone platform.
"So dark, so dark!"
As soon as he let go, the Sorting Hat screamed.
"...It's broken again?" Merlin threw a repair spell and said, "Let's sort it into another hospital."
"No, it's too dark." The Sorting Hat refused.
"Um?"
Merlin frowned. The Sorting Hat actually refused to sort Xia?
This situation happened once about six years ago, and this is not okay.
"Stop making trouble and get sorted into a hospital quickly!"
"It's so dark..." the Sorting Hat repeated. Under Merlin's order, it had to fly up and land on Xia Yanzhen's head for the third time.
Then, there was no response again.
Merlin held the wand, puzzled as to what was going on.
Just as he was thinking about it, Xia Yanzhen put the sorting hat back on the stone platform.
As soon as he let go, the Sorting Hat suddenly "awakened" and shouted loudly: "It's so dark! It's so dark! It's too dark! I'm going to be broken! You! Azkaban!"
Roaring sounds echoed in the auditorium.
Completely suppressing the students' whispers.
Merlin's expression was stiff.
The teachers were also extremely surprised.
Azkaban is a prison where the most vicious and evil people in the wizarding world have been kept since ancient times.
Even now, prisoners are guarded in a very inhumane manner by dementors, inhuman and noble magical creatures.
It is the free magical world of Gran, one of the few places that is not free.
Even if the sorting can be very free, being sorted into Azkaban is too free.
It shouldn't be.
"There seems to be something wrong with the Sorting Hat..." Merlin coughed.
"Azkaban, Azkaban!"
The Sorting Hat was still chattering, but Merlin waved his wand and the Sorting Hat suddenly became silent.
"Which academy do you think you are suitable for? Xia." Merlin asked Xia Yanzhen with a smile, "Azkaban, just let it pass like a gust of wind."
"Azkaban."
Xia Yanzhen said with a smile.
"..."
"I like the name Azkaban, so let's choose this academy." Xia Yanzhen said seriously, "From now on, I will be Al Academy, Monster Xia of Azkaban."
This mission world is quite interesting and fun.
Is it because the AKA team came twenty years too early and transformed the Grand Magic world to a considerable extent?
