I asked you to be a mage, not to raise a nine-tailed fox

Chapter 6 Letters from Home and Hair Dye
"so hard."

Just as Mina was leaving the profession hall, a group of men and women walked in.

"Have you heard that the threshold for the Silver Hand has been raised again this year? It was originally limited to 23 years old, but this year it has been limited to 20 years old. It's really outrageous."

Some boys complained.

They have now applied for graduation and now is the time to find a way out.

Either go to the Imperial Academy for further studies, or take the exam to join a knightly order.

Becoming a maze adventurer is really a bad choice.

The two relatively free knight orders, the "Silver Hand" and the "Sword of Ashes", are undoubtedly the best choices.

"Yeah, I really don't know why the Silver Hand has such high requirements..." The girl who was talking suddenly stopped and rubbed her eyes. "Strange, why do I see Mina again?"

When she heard the name Mina, Selina shook her head and sighed. Her eyes suddenly turned red and she seemed about to cry.

A boy immediately comforted her: "Selena, don't be like this, and Beverly, don't mention this name again."

This boy had previously complained about recruiting such a useless mage into the team.

A wizard who can only make bread, and can only make dark iron bread, I really don’t know how Mina had the nerve to stay in the team.

"That's right, we told them the return route, and that's what we did. Everything else has nothing to do with us."

Another boy said.

Rat and Mina were admitted in the same class. Mina had an outstanding talent for magic and broke through to the fourth level of magic very early, almost two years earlier than his third level magic.

This made him extremely depressed.

So when Selena made that suggestion in the maze that day, he chose to follow suit without hesitation.

It felt really good to see Mina leaving the team sadly.

It was as if years of pent-up resentment had been released.

"Mina, Mina, you have come to this day."

Come to think of it, can a life mage who can only make black iron bread really be called a genius?
No wonder even Selena gave up on you.

"Let's go in."

Apparently, as the captain, Blond Caesar didn't like to mention the topic of Mina.

Selina, Rat and the others nodded.

After registering, Selina was already excited and seemed to have completely forgotten about Mina who had just been mentioned.

"Rat, did you hear that the sister who just registered said that we are very powerful? Among the recent assessors, only two people received A and B grade evaluations." Selina said casually.

Rat nodded quickly: "The C-level settlement reward is enough for us to choose a good spell..."

"By the way, Brother Caesar."

Selina did not continue to talk to Rat, but instead turned her gaze to Caesar, who was at the end of the team.

"Brother Caesar, are you going to take the exam for the Knights? Should we form a team together?"

Caesar nodded, "I want to take the exam for the Knights."

However, he was a little hesitant about Selina's suggestion of forming a team together: "I plan to take the Silver Hand exam."

The magic elevator suddenly became quiet.

The "Silver Hand" is a high-end knight group of Anzu, and each of them is an elite among professional transcendents.

Just this one criterion of being a fourth-level professional transcendent under the age of twenty is enough to screen out a large number of people, not to mention the silver skill, which is even more difficult.

Not to mention Selina, even in the entire Sun Chaser Academy, how many people meet the requirements?

The total number of these years is only around five.

And not a single one was able to pass the exam.

Selina was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled and said, "Brother Caesar is really amazing. Only level 4 professionals with silver skills are eligible to take the Silver Hand exam."

Everyone knows that Caesar is very strong, but he is still a little short of the registration threshold for the "Silver Hand".

I originally thought that people like them would at most be the Sword of Ashes, and Selina could even get a ride with them, but I didn't expect...

Her eyes flickered, and she did not mention teaming up with Caesar again. She could not even pass the lowest threshold of a high-end knight order like the Silver Hand.

Rat was concerned about another issue. He quickly asked, "Does Brother Caesar have silver skills now?"

Caesar shook his head: "It will be soon. I have gained some insights from this maze. I got C-level resources as a reward, which can strengthen me. There may be opportunities in two months."

Caesar thought of the Silver Hand, with infinite yearning in his eyes.

I heard that there is a holy relic there that no one has been able to obtain.

If he could get into the Silver Hand, with his connections, he might have a chance.
-
Back in the cabin, Mina immediately began to get ready.

Now I already have a silver skill, but as for silver skills, the more the better.

But now Mina is a little confused.

Silver water making technique or silver contract stone.

Forget it, the important thing is to choose the initial magical pet first.

Can a magician without a baby be called a magician? I read the "Monster Pet Guide" again.

The names of several monsters are circled and highlighted.

Wind Flame Horse, a flame magical pet, can attack, defend and be ridden. It is an excellent choice and even has several evolutionary forms.

The "knights" of the Royal Knights, even those who are not magicians, want to get a Flame Demon Horse, an evolved form of the Wind Flame Horse, as a mount.

Charge with flames and protect with wind shield.

The opponent with weaker psychological quality was crushed in two rounds.

The only drawback is that it's expensive.

Uh, no, that might be Mina's shortcoming.

Flamingo, an orange bird that looks like a chick.

This kind of monster generally has two evolutionary routes.

One is the ground style. The Fire Bird trained is simply a master of close combat and the best guardian of the mage profession.

The other evolutionary route is a bit more difficult.

It is said that the Fire Bath Phoenix requires a lot of rare materials and even its fire skills must reach the silver level before it can evolve. It was once rated as one of the most beautiful magical pets of the year and the best partner for many fire mages.

The patron saint of the Western Anros Empire, his contracted pet is a Fire Bath Phoenix, but I heard that the Fire Bath Phoenix has evolved again.

More importantly, turkey chicks lay eggs, are easy to hatch, and are affordable for Mina.

It is also the magical pet that Mina focuses on.

As for the third one...

Forget it, that one is more expensive than the Wind and Fire Horse.

It is a pet of the nobility.

But the appearance is really good.

It’s a pity that Mina’s wallet can’t afford it.

But before leaving, Mina opened the letter from home.

As expected, it was a letter from my parents back home asking about my well-being.

"How is college life?", "Is your pocket money enough?", "Are you going back home during the summer vacation?", "When can you bring home that girlfriend you mentioned last time?", "Don't worry about the engagement. The other party has no intention of fulfilling the contract, and we are not asking for that marriage."

"By the way, don't worry about the territory. We have already started to stockpile food, so there shouldn't be a large number of disaster victims this winter..."

Dad's injured leg has gotten better, don't worry...

My mom bought a new hair dye. It is said that this kind of hair dye made by monsters can better cover gray hair...

By the way, if you graduate, you can try the "Silver Hand". If it doesn't work, forget it. After all, your grandfather's relic has been there for many years, and your father didn't take it back. Don't feel pressured.

If it doesn't work out, it would be nice to come back and be a lord...

At the end of the letter, there was a check from Ansu Bank. It was a long time ago and the note had turned yellow.

The amount above made Mina gasp, it was actually much more than his annual living expenses.

This money is enough for him to buy a decent magical pet.

"I know you need money recently. If you don't have any, just tell me. Don't borrow money..."

Mina closed his eyes and punched himself hard.

I remembered that I had spent all my living expenses for several years on a trashy green tea girl, and I had to ask my mother for money every month.

Simply not human.

I went to Slime and got some water to wash my face.

Mina sat down.

This letter has been left for many days, it's time to reply.

As for the magical pet?

Haha, it’s not a matter of one or two days.

"...I still have enough money. I just finished the intermediate experience and got a lot of settlement bonuses..."

"...I won't be going back during the summer vacation. I'll be preparing for the Silver Hand so that Dad can rest assured. I'll definitely bring back Grandpa's relics at the end of the year..."

"...The girlfriend I mentioned last time has broken up with her. She's not suitable for me. I'm happy being alone. Don't worry..."

Put it in an envelope and add sealing wax

Just preparing to feed a weather hawk.

Suddenly something moved in my heart.

Pull out the communication leaf that Ansana gave him.

Magic was entered and a message was sent.

"Is there any good hair dye in the imperial capital? Please recommend it to me."
