Colin suppressed his dizziness and told the gray-robed teacher next to him what was going on.
Charlie on the side seemed to have given up struggling and sat there with a gloomy face.
The gray-robed teacher nodded expressionlessly, and with a move of his left hand, he missed the arrow that wounded Colin in the distance.
Then he summoned the arrow that penetrated Charlie's knee and the crossbow hidden on his body, and looked at them carefully and inspected them.
After a while, I made a decision in my mind.
He raised his head and asked Colin: "Have you advanced to the second-class apprenticeship?"
"Yes." Colin responded quickly.
"very good."
Although the teacher's face was still expressionless, his tone seemed to be gentler.
He waved his right hand, and a white light flashed over Colin.
Colin suddenly felt the dizziness in his head disappear.
"Thank you, teacher."
The teacher nodded noncommittally, and then glanced at Charlie coldly.
Although the Lapp School has relatively low punishment for fights between apprentices.
But this is only between equal levels. Now Colin is already an intermediate apprentice. For such cases, the school's punishment has always been severe.
Charlie obviously understands this, but what he is worried about now is not being punished, but that his plan is discovered.
"You go to the main building of Black Castle and wait for me first. I have to deal with this first."
The gray-robed teacher continued to speak to Colin, then paused and added.
"I am the first-class apprentice on duty today. I will register you for promotion when I get back."
"Okay." Colin replied respectfully.
He not only told the gray-robed wizard how Charlie attacked him, but also told the whole story behind it.
Obviously, the mutual aid association and the elimination of members of the enslavement school in the gathering place mentioned by Charlie have attracted the attention of the gray robe wizard.
Judging from the reaction he just heard, he must have never heard of such a situation.
This also made Colin more suspicious of Charlie's remarks.
Not long after leaving, he arrived at the Black Castle.
The Black Castle is a huge castle in the center of the entire Wizarding Territory. It consists of the main castle in the middle and the auxiliary castles connected on both sides. The whole is in the shape of an inverted U, and the entire wall is made of black stone.
The open space in front of the castle was a carefully tended lawn, with a flat stone road in the middle passing through it. Colin came to the door of the main building in the middle.
In addition to him, there was a brown-haired boy standing in front of the door. He was about ten years old and should be one of the apprentices who came after them.
The boy looked indifferent, glanced at the black badge on Colin's chest, and did not choose to say hello to him.
Naturally, Colin would not put a hot face on a cold butt.
Not long after waiting at the entrance of the Black Castle, the gray-robed wizard descended from the sky and walked towards them.
Colin looked at the flying figure of the gray-robed wizard and couldn't help but yearn for it.
If I guess correctly, the gray-robed wizard should major in force field witchcraft.
"Hello, teacher."
Colin and the brown-haired boy greeted in unison.
"Come with me." The teacher in gray robe nodded and said.
The two followed the gray-robed instructor to the top floor of the main castle, outside a tightly protected room.
"Give me your ID badge."
Colin and the two respectfully handed over their identity badges.
The gray-robed teacher motioned for them to wait outside, then walked into the room holding two black identity badges.
It should be to communicate with the wizard-led formation and upgrade their identity badges.
Each badge of the school is personally made by the Lapp wizard and is bound to each member one-to-one. It is the only certificate for entering the wizard realm.
Even ordinary people who are responsible for delivering daily necessities every month have special identity badges.
This large and sophisticated witch formation is the foundation for the Lapp school to take root on the island, and it is also the top priority.
After half an hour, the gray-robed wizard came out with two silver identity badges.
Then he led them to a quiet room on the first floor.
The gray-robed wizard opened the door and entered.
There are two other wizards sitting inside. Judging from the badges on their chests, they should also be first-class apprentices.
The gray-robed wizard motioned to Colin and the two of them to sit on the chairs by the door and wait, and then walked towards the other two wizards.
"Milne, has another third-class apprentice advanced?" the wizard sitting on the left asked with a smile.
Milne nodded and said: "Well, one is five years old, thirteen years old, with second-class qualifications; one is ten years old, seventeen years old, with fourth-class qualifications."
The room was spacious, and the conversation between the two was not loud, as if it was deliberately kept low.
The brown-haired boy sat quietly on the wooden chair, expressionless, obviously not hearing.
But Colin, as a high knight, relied on his keen hearing to hear everything clearly.
"Follow the old rules... The ten-year-old will be assigned to the guard team as usual, and he will be taken to receive witchcraft later. As for the five-year-old..."
"It's our turn in five years!" the wizard sitting on the right interrupted, "The apprentices who were promoted last time and the last time have joined you, and it's our turn this time."
"...This is not necessarily the case. The former apprentice with first-class qualifications and who was only ten years old was given to you! I don't need to explain the gap between first-class and second-class..."
The three wizards began to argue.
Colin glanced at the boy sitting quietly next to him, feeling silent in his heart.
He had already expected this situation.
The qualifications of wizards are divided into five levels.
The fifth grade is the lowest and the first grade is the highest.
The qualification here simply refers to the affinity for magic.
It has an impact on the growth of wizards, but it is not absolute.
Theoretically, even with fifth-level qualifications, one can become an official wizard.
The ten years and five years mentioned by the gray-robed wizards should represent the years they spent learning wizard knowledge.
This can be regarded as a manifestation of another part of the wizard's qualifications.
And he, no matter who he is, obviously does not have good qualifications.
After a while, the three wizards finally reached a consensus.
The gray-robed wizard and the wizard sitting on the left walked towards Colin.
"Come with me, I will take you to learn advanced witchcraft." The gray-robed wizard motioned to Colin.
The brown-haired boy was taken away by another wizard.
Colin followed the gray-robed wizard with a calm expression.
The two of them walked towards the depths of the castle.
On the way, the gray-robed wizard lifted his hood, came to Colin, and preached to him:
"It's different from when you were a junior apprentice. After you advance to an intermediate apprenticeship, you need to be responsible for different tasks... The place you are assigned to is the guard team."
Colin calmly looked at the shiny bald head of the gray-robed wizard and nodded silently.
He already knew such a result.
"...Teacher, guard team...what exactly do they do?" After a moment of silence, he asked.
"The guard team is responsible for protecting the security of the city together with the wizards in the Black Stone City at the foot of the mountain. The ferocious beasts that escape from the dark forest, the security of the city, etc. are all under the control of the guard team."
The gray-robed wizard answered. He paused and then added:
"The main work in the Lapp school is divided into three parts, logistics, mining, and protection."
"The guard work is mainly carried out by the guard team stationed in the city and the patrol team within the wizard's territory."
"Station?" Colin asked involuntarily.
"Yes, stationed. The guards usually stay in Blackstone City."
