The newly joined children, under the leadership of the 726 students, quickly adapted to the life of the college.
It’s not that all of them are shaking and enjoying the oppressive feeling of military life. Rather, the atmosphere formed among a group of twenty-six people born in 1972-6 quickly infected the children who were already at their best in plasticity.
When the seniors who, like me, left their homes and came to Wulian City for their dreams - another new term from the earth, but was quickly accepted by this group of children - all of them were Mao Use your full strength to enrich your body and knowledge. They naturally followed up and redoubled their efforts, hoping to catch up with the progress of students born in 1972.
They had imagined the path of magic, but they didn't know the details. They all thought that the seniors' behavior was normal, so no one complained. In other words, with such a full schedule, there is not even time to breathe, let alone complain.
In response, the great magician who was watching the whole process curled his lips. If his path to magic was such a virtuous one, then he would have gone home to wash his hands and sleep long ago. Who would still be learning magic?
Seeing how the newly joined children quickly integrated into the atmosphere established by the academy, Lin knew that this step was not a mistake. If the first batch of children are still lifeless, I am afraid that the next ones will also look like dead people. Well, not only did this academy create any talents, it was a blessing that it didn't destroy them.
However, the feeling of joy did not last long. Lin learned an incredible thing from Juan Javier.
"Your Excellency is saying that the new kid was sent to the academy without staying in the association for half a day."
"Yes. At least the ones Anmari asked about are all like this."
As a great magician who lives in the academy, even if he often runs out, he always sees these children, and it is difficult not to have some involvement in their lives. It is inevitable that some children will seek help from the great magician with their magic doubts during their precious free time.
According to the practice of masters, it is a taboo to teach other people's apprentices without authorization; it is also taboo for an apprentice to ask someone other than his own teacher for advice. However, no one in the academy was officially registered as master and apprentice, and Lin did not allow these children to call the two official magicians masters. They all called them Master So-and-so. Logically speaking, these children are not qualified to ask themselves questions, but they are not incapable of asking themselves questions.
To be honest, there is no precedent for the existence of the academy, and some old rules may not necessarily apply to new situations. In addition, Juan is not a cold person. He loves making friends, and of course he doesn't mind supporting those who are behind.
It's just that the questions asked by this group of children are too low-level. One or two are enough. Most children will ask these basic questions and keep repeating them. So he simply sent his students, who had become official magicians, to answer their questions.
It was also through this kind of contact that Juan Javier was able to learn about some of the conditions of these children through Annemarie. What surprised him the most was what was being said to Lin in front of him.
Lin was puzzled and asked himself, "Shouldn't the association find suitable and willing teachers for new children after testing their talents? How come they just come to us without doing anything?"
"That's true. But it's not that we can't understand this way of dealing with it." Juan Javier looked at someone with meaning. The ambiguous look in his eyes made Lin want to punch someone.
That's right. From Shurion's point of view, this kind of behavior is actually a stumbling block. Let more people enter this academy and share the few resources. Then let someone surrender and obey his opinions obediently.
At least from the fact that someone is actively contacting other nobles to seek support in terms of money and resources, it can be guessed that the college's finances are not very generous, so it needs to find foreign aid.
In fact, what others didn't expect was that Lin went everywhere to seek support, not because he couldn't afford it. Although the income of p language is not as huge as the phenomenal profits of browsers, it is still considerable enough.
In the past, the escort team had to be entrusted to send Lin's income to the Tower of the Great Sage. Maybe the escorts directly under the Chamber of Commerce are trustworthy in terms of credit, but these people may not be able to keep their mouths shut. How many boxes of gold kir coins were sent will be constantly exaggerated in the bragging.
But now all the income is collected by Lin personally at the South Tower, so it is difficult for others to know or even estimate what Lin's current income is.
The association is very strict in protecting the personal information of magicians. Especially after the news that the great magician was dissatisfied with him was revealed, and after the headquarters of a certain branch was bloodbathed in an unprepared raid, the clerks working within the association had their own set of standards for themselves. In particular, one of the people involved in the p-slang is the great magician, a lich, and it is said that he was the devil king a thousand years ago.
The defense system of five magic towers connected in series is not a problem against such people. But how many casualties will there be before the defenses really kick in? And after the defense system comes into play, how sure are you of keeping the opponent?
War fortresses such as traditional magic towers cannot react quickly when faced with personal power, nor do they have a decisive attack. The only thing that can compete is that the magic tower consumes more energy than the great magician. As long as the invading great magician refuses to retreat, the Magic Tower will be the final winner... Is there any magician that stupid? Not counting the demon king who got stuck in the gap between the planes a while ago and was killed by the magic tower...
It was precisely for this reason that when Shurion personally went to the South Tower to request that all of someone's income be transferred to the Charlie Richard Fund, he was in trouble. He was even taught a lesson by the master of the south tower, "If your teacher came to ask me in person, I might think about it for a while before rejecting it. But who are you? You dare to make such a ridiculous request to me. Leave, otherwise I will Let my people send you to lie down and leave."
After becoming a noble, he had never been so wronged. It's just that he can't have any objections to the Lord of the South Tower. His teacher is not so protective that he doesn't ask for any reason. Anyway, his student is right, so he supports him wholeheartedly and unconditionally. So I channeled that resentment onto someone who was unlucky. This is one of the reasons why Lin is resented by Chengguo Eton students.
But even if the income from p-language is enough to cover the current expenses of the college, Lin has never thought that it will be completely borne by himself. Colleges are meant to be facilities that find ways to generate revenue, ultimately bear their own expenses, and balance the books. To seek help from the nobles, in addition to the need for money and support, there is also the idea of distributing benefits to divide the noble group.
In any case, children who are sent to the academy without going through the association process, besides being taught their magical knowledge according to other people's methods, there is one more important thing that must be determined. It is to judge how talented each person is in learning magic.
This is a bit similar to the Internet cool article about the earth. You can see the result by holding a stone. It consists of a set of specially designed magic stone devices for the test subject to carry around. Using a principle similar to that of a thermometer, the device will absorb the power naturally emanating from the human body, and will eventually reach a state of balance. The result is the expression of a person's magical talent.
The grade of evaluation is based on the color of the magic stone, from the lowest red to the highest grade purple.
It takes at least half a day for this device to coordinate with the human body and achieve balance. And it will change in the future and is not completely fixed. The longest time... Well, basically if you can't figure out the reason for more than one day, you will be judged as having no magic talent, and there is no point in continuing.
Since the new kids haven't been tested on their magic talents yet, Lin naturally found the talent stones from his collection that he hadn't used for a long time. It was a stone plate with a magic circle engraved on it, with three dull magic stones in red, orange and yellow inlaid on it. As long as the subject carries it with him, the results will be produced in half a day to a day.
By the way, Lin and his two young apprentices are both in red. And it still took a lot of time to show some clues of color. Orange is generally believed to be the most basic talent level for a magician, and yellow can be called excellent. The initial talent performance of most magicians is between orange and yellow. Then the red becomes...
Green and above can be regarded as extraordinary talents, and even the legendary purple is the perfect talent. But it’s good to listen to that kind of thing, because during the discussion with Fen, I learned a joke that the talent performance tested by the puzzles of this era is actually the balance of power contained in each human body. In previous eras, this thing could be changed by exercising or transforming itself.
Simply put, everyone can learn magic, it just comes at a price. Modifying the body's natural powers is not only difficult, it is often accompanied by pain. There are even some transformations that have side effects, and people can no longer call them 'human beings'.
Ever since he learned about the magic talents of himself and his two apprentices, Lin has never taken out the talent stone again. Magicians have such things in order to test children who may have talents at any time during the journey and add new blood to the world of magicians.
Unfortunately, the standard distribution of talent stones is quite bulky, and the test takes about a day, so most mages are unwilling to do such troublesome things. On the day they become an official magician, most magicians who receive this gift from the association will split it into three magic stones and one magic stone. Sell or use for other purposes.
Talent stones do have other lighter designs, as well as high-end products that can test higher talent levels. But Lin didn't think he would need it, so he never considered preparing something better, even if he could afford it now.
Now that he was about to use it, he directly took a cloth bag and asked the children to carry the talent stone directly on their backs, and remember to hug them together when sleeping. Basically, the results will be available the next morning.
The euphemistic name is weight training, plus this is to test the magic talent. Therefore, children no matter how young they are, dare not complain, for fear of letting go of every opportunity that should be firmly grasped.
