Synthesis Wizard.

Chapter 190 A new era
"Is this the Starlight Academy?"

Looking at the spacious college and the magnificent gate in front of him, Fleming couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Around him, more young boys and girls were looking at the surrounding environment in amazement, while some of them were focusing on the tall tower in the distance.

Even though they were thousands of meters away, they could still see a huge outline, so they could imagine how huge its actual size was.

And the strange shape also makes people very curious.

All those gathered here at this time are children of appropriate age who have recently passed the qualification test. Without exception, their ages are between twelve and fifteen years old.

They gathered in the Glittering City from all over the empire, and were taken to a strange base, arriving here after passing through a peculiar gate.

Many people couldn't understand why just by walking through a door, they came to a completely different environment and a college suddenly appeared in front of them.

This novel experience amazed everyone, and they became more and more excited about the legendary wizard academy.

Just then, a man and a woman walked out of the college gate.

The two men looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing grey robes, with deep and bright eyes, and a strange glow that made people dare not look at them.

As the two arrived, the boys and girls present immediately quieted down and all their eyes fell on them.

If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the person sent by the academy to greet them.

"My name is Xie Qin Brad, and this is Duweni Treadaway. We will now take you on a tour of the academy. Please keep quiet on the way, do not ask questions or touch anything at will, or you will bear the consequences at your own risk."

Xie Qin said a few words expressionlessly, then turned and walked towards the college gate.

"Follow!"

The boys and girls looked at each other, but followed as they were told.

"He looks like a difficult person to talk to." Donohan leaned close to Fleming and whispered.

Fleming nodded.

I heard that there are many loners among wizard apprentices, and perhaps this senior named Xie Qin is one of them.

However, the senior student named Du Weini seemed to have a good personality and even smiled at them.

After passing through the gate, everything in front of you suddenly became clear.

Buildings of strange styles were everywhere in sight, immediately attracting the attention of young boys and girls.

Many apprentices could be seen hurrying along the spacious streets. They glanced at the freshmen and then looked away without paying any attention.

"quack!"

A slightly shrill cry came from above my head.

Fleming looked up and found more than a dozen crows hovering in the sky.

What is surprising is that these crows are incredibly large, with a layer of scales on their bodies and their pupils are blood red.

"That's a red-eyed crow."

Noticing the freshmen's gazes, Du Weini turned around and explained.

"They are the monitors of the academy. Any student who violates the rules and regulations within their field of vision will be punished accordingly."

"Don't underestimate them, these red-eyed crows are very smart."

Everyone's eyes showed strange colors, and they looked at the red-eyed crows with a little more seriousness.

"This is a library. Books on the first floor can be borrowed for free, but can only be read inside the library. Books on the second floor and above require payment."

"This is the teaching building, where you will have your classes from now on. The class schedule for the latest week is posted on the bulletin board at the door. You can freely choose the courses you want to take. Basic courses are all free, but advanced courses will be charged."

"That's the mission hall. You can take on missions there and earn contribution points. Although the academy provides some things for free, most resources, especially mid- and high-level resources, require contribution points to redeem."

Although Xie Qin's attitude was cold, he was very diligent. He gave them detailed explanations every time he passed a place along the way.

However, Fleming guessed that he must have accepted the so-called mission, so he was so diligent.

"Although the academy stipulates that all apprentices can accept missions, there are very few missions suitable for freshmen, so I suggest that you focus on studying at the beginning, and then accept missions after you have mastered a certain level of strength. This way, it will be more efficient."

Du Weini took over the conversation and gave a suggestion with a smile.

"Anyway, many basic resources can be exchanged for gold coins at the beginning. Don't waste time and energy on problems that can be solved by spending some gold coins."

Many freshmen nodded in agreement subconsciously.

Only a few freshmen who were dressed very casually looked embarrassed and remained silent.

They don't have much gold coins.

Soon, everyone arrived at a large square.

There was a huge crystal ball placed in the center of the square, and more than a dozen students were queuing in front of the crystal ball.

"That is an attribute crystal ball. It can measure the physical fitness, mental strength and health status of the wizard apprentice and present it in the form of data."

"After you start practicing, you can use the attribute crystal ball to check every once in a while, which will allow you to better understand your own practice progress."

Du Weini pointed at the attribute crystal ball and explained.

As soon as the words fell, freshmen immediately spoke up eager to try.

"Senior, can we give it a try?"

Du Weini glanced at Xie Qin, and seeing that the latter didn't react, she smiled and nodded.

"Okay, but you can't stay too long, just half an hour."

After getting permission, many freshmen immediately couldn't wait to leave the queue and join the line.

Fortunately, the single-person usage time of the attribute crystal ball is not long, and it is the freshman's turn after ten minutes or so.

Fleming happened to be the first.

Following Duverney's instructions, he pressed his palm on the surface of the crystal ball.

A slight electric shock came from the palm of my hand, and soon a line of words appeared on the crystal ball.

[Physique 2.2, Spirit 0.7]

[Physical condition is good, right arm tendon is slightly strained, expected to recover naturally in two days]

[High affinity with fire element, suitable for practicing fire spells]

Fleming was a little surprised.

While practicing martial arts a few days ago, he accidentally strained his right arm. According to his previous experience with injuries, he should be able to recover in two days, but he didn't expect this to be detected.

This property crystal ball is really magical!

"But what does the last sentence mean?"

Fei Laiming was secretly puzzled. When he turned around, he found that Xie Qin and Du Weini were staring at him strangely, and there seemed to be a hint of envy in their eyes?

"What's your name?"

For the first time, Xie Qin asked Fleming's name, and his tone was obviously much kinder.

"Fleming."

"Junior Fleming, you have a good talent," Xie Qin said.

Seeing Fleming's puzzled expression, he patiently explained:

"Elemental affinity refers to the affinity for a certain energy particle. The higher the affinity, the easier it is to manipulate the corresponding energy particles, and the faster it is to learn the corresponding spells." "In general, wizard apprentices with elemental affinity will have more advantages than others in their training, and there are many benefits."

"But there are very few people who have elemental affinity. Generally, there may not be one in a hundred wizard apprentices."

After hearing this, the freshmen looked at Fleming with envy and jealousy.

Fleming was also a little dazed.

It seems that he is still a genius?

Later, new students were tested one after another, but unfortunately no one was found to have elemental affinity like Fleming.

Half an hour later, Sechin interrupted the freshmen's test and took them to their residence.

It was a castle-style dormitory.

Two tall steel golems stood in front of the door.

"This is the dormitory. You will live here for the next few years until you are promoted to a second-level wizard apprentice."

Before coming here, many freshmen had already learned some information about wizard apprentices through various channels, including the level classification of wizard apprentices' strength.

As soon as Xie Qin finished speaking, some freshmen couldn't help but raise their hands to ask questions.

"Senior, where do the second-level wizard apprentices live?"

"Dragon Skeleton Tower."

Xie Qin uttered three words and looked in a certain direction at the same time. His expressionless face suddenly revealed an undisguised yearning.

Even Du Weini was no exception, with a longing gleam in her eyes.

Following the two people's gaze, many freshmen immediately realized that the tall tower they had seen from afar at the college gate was most likely the Dragon Skeleton Tower mentioned by Xie Qin.

Many freshmen from noble families had their eyes flickering slightly.

It was because they suddenly thought, whether the legendary adult also lived in the Dragon Skeleton Tower?

"Is the Dragon Skeleton Tower better than the academy?"

"Nonsense, a place that only second-level wizard apprentices can enter must be better."

“I want to go there someday.”

The freshmen were talking about it a lot, many of them were rubbing their hands and showing longing looks on their faces.

But Xie Qin immediately poured a bucket of cold water on him.

"Don't think too much."

"Many talented students in the academy have practiced for more than ten years but have not been promoted to Level 2 wizard apprentices. It's too early for you to live in the Dragon Skeleton Tower. You should first learn the Star Ring Meditation Method."

"Don't say I didn't remind you. According to the school's regulations, anyone who hasn't mastered the Star Ring Meditation Method within three months will be expelled."

As soon as these words were spoken, the freshmen's expressions suddenly tensed.

They stood out from hundreds of thousands of their peers and entered Starlight Academy carrying the expectations of their families and relatives. If they were expelled, not only would they lose face, but their families and relatives would also lose face.

This is absolutely unacceptable to them!
"Okay, no need to be so nervous."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit tense, Du Weini smiled and eased the tension.

"Normally, it only takes one or two months to get started with the Star Ring Meditation Method, so you don't have to worry too much."

"Now everyone go get your keys, then you have twenty minutes to put your luggage in the dormitory, and then we will take you to the cafeteria."

The freshmen responded one after another and rushed into the dormitory.

A few people even touched the Iron Golem out of curiosity. The latter turned its head slightly, glanced at the freshmen, and then turned back.

Just as the freshmen were pouring into the dormitory, in a building three or four hundred meters away, three people were standing at the window, observing the actions of the freshmen.

"Two hundred and forty-three students, this class has quite a lot of students," said Qiangwei.

"After all, this is the first qualification test of the Starry Empire, so it's normal to have more people." The Scepter said with a smile.

If it were the original Principality of the Stars, it would be considered good if it could have more than ten more students a year.

But now we have two-thirds of the territory of the former Cangjin Empire. In this land where qualification tests have never been held before, the number of people who pass the first qualification test must be the largest.

By the time of next year’s qualification test, the number of new students should drop significantly.

"I never thought I would be able to see so many wizard apprentices one day." The traveler exclaimed, "When I think about how these students can grow into second- and third-level wizard apprentices in the future, I feel like I'm witnessing a new era."

A hint of emotion also appeared on the faces of Rose and Scepter, and they agreed deeply with the traveler's words.

In their day, wizard apprentices mostly stayed behind the scenes.

Even among the nobles, only a small number of people knew about the existence of wizard apprentices.

But nowadays, common people may not know the existence of wizard apprentices, but among the nobles, wizard apprentices are no longer a secret.

The establishment and enrollment of Starlight Academy has allowed wizard apprentices to gradually come to the fore.

It can be predicted that in time, wizard apprentices will become known to more and more people on the continent.

The era of wizards will soon come.

And all this was created by Sunan.

He changed the way wizard apprentices survived, allowing more and more people to join this group and expanding the influence of wizard apprentices.

"These students are in a much better situation than we were back then." Rose sighed, "When I was a first-level wizard apprentice, how could I have so many potions to improve meditation efficiency?"

The traveler nodded in agreement: "These little guys are training much faster than us. I heard that two students under Lord Sunan were promoted to second-level wizard apprentices in just five years. In the past, this speed was simply unimaginable."

"You are talking about Sherman and Corey, right?" The Scepter smiled. "These two have good talents and the support of the academy's resources. It is very likely that they will be promoted to third-level wizard apprentices before the age of fifty."

The traveler had a complicated expression. He was almost eighty years old when he was promoted to a third-level wizard apprentice.

I can only say that I didn't catch up with the good times.

But soon, he cheered up again.

Now with the support of the academy's resources, his training efficiency has increased several times.

Although it is still very difficult to become a wizard before death, at least there is hope.

Based on this alone, he felt that joining Starlight Academy was a wise choice.

"Okay, it's time to go back and prepare." Qiangwei stretched her body, revealing her graceful curves. "With the new students enrolling, the number of hours for basic courses has increased a lot. I'll be busy from now on."

Having said that, Qiangwei didn't look at all embarrassed, but rather full of joy.

After all, as tutors, a considerable portion of their contribution income comes from teaching.

The more courses they take, the more contribution points they can earn to exchange for resources.

Whether it is a transcendent potion, a magic pattern core, or a construction potion and a talent crystal model, the contribution value required for redemption is a huge number.

Especially the latter, one has to work for the academy for a long time at least before he can redeem it.

But even so, they are happy with it.

In the past, they wouldn't have been able to exchange it for work even if they wanted to.
