Yesterday, the computer lady died and used to write on her laptop. Her reaction was slow, and I almost didn't update.
Today, I upgraded the computer lady, but I'm not used to using the keyboard. Orz!
"So this is magic." After two nights and a day of continuous browsing, Ito Sei finally finished reading the 103 books on magic knowledge that he had bought. He murmured to himself with a look of realization.
"Through a special meditation method, one can change one's mental frequency to cater to the ubiquitous Aether element in the outside world. Then, one can mix the two to form the so-called source of magic power. Then, one can use this fundamental power to combine the necessary gestures, casting materials, and incantations to achieve the casting of magic! And the more advanced one can use one's own experience in using magic to remove some useless encryption words and simple gestures to achieve the goal of casting magic quickly! "Then, Sei Itō closed the book and put it away.
"* * * *" Then, Sei Itō turned his head to look at the pencil on the bedside table. Suddenly, he opened his mouth and chanted a short incantation.
In an instant, the pencil seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand. It slowly floated from the bedside table and floated to Sei Itō's side.
"Looks like the [Mixed Elemental Force] in my body that has been purified many times and is gradually approaching the power of the world can also replace magic power as the source of power to cast magic." He reached out and took the pencil that floated in front of him. Sei Itō chuckled as he flipped his fingers and danced beautifully with the pencil.
"I just don't know if this generalization is only useful for level-0 non-elemental spells, or it is also useful for elemental spells and other spells in the future." Ito Sei frowned slightly and thought to himself.
"It's a pity that even though there are some middle to low-level content in these books, other than the commonly used spells that every apprentice mage can learn, there's only one level-1 spell that only official mages can learn. It's a pity that that spell is also an elemental energy bomb, so I can't use it to test my guess. Looks like I have to go to the library to browse through the books. " He flicked his thumb and flicked the pencil back to the Sei Itō on the bedside table.
"But before that. He also had to go to the Magician's Association to get an identity. Otherwise, even if you can enter the library through the main entrance, you might be blocked in front of the wall of books. "
With that thought in mind, Sei Itō no longer hesitated. He walked out of the room and left the [Holiday Inn] where he was staying. He walked towards the center of Merlin Street that was close to Left Street.
The [Holiday Inn] was close to the center of Merlin Street on the right street. It wasn't far from Left Street. Therefore, Sei Itō didn't spend much time here. He arrived at the building that was three stories tall. It was a strange building, but every corner was filled with the style of a mage. Without any hesitation, he stepped into the room.
From the outside, the building of the Mage Association looked like a tube-shaped building that could be seen everywhere in China in the 90's. It gave off a shabby and sullen feeling. But when he walked into the hall, he realized that things weren't as he imagined. At least, Sei Itō felt that the inside and outside of the building was very different.
He didn't know if the Magician's Association had used a magic array, or if they had hired a super expert to expand the space in the hall. Even if there were over a hundred people in the hall at the same time, it wouldn't feel crowded at all.
At the same time, the floor of the Magic Caster Association's main hall was paved with pure obsidian that could definitely be used as a magic material. The obsidian reflected a faint fluorescent light, filling the Magic Caster Association with a sense of mystery and solemnity.
In the inner part of the hall, there were two female staff members with apprentice level magic badges on their necks. They were sitting behind two wooden tables with their heads lowered as they browsed through some unknown magic books. At the same time, they were moving their fingers and doing magic operation training.
Sei Itō walked in front of one of the female apprentices and said softly, "Sorry to disturb you."
"What do you want?" Hearing Sei Itō's greeting, the female apprentice raised her head and asked with a frown when she saw that there were no magic waves or magic badges on Sei Itō's body.
"I want to register as a Mage." Sei Itō didn't pay attention to the female apprentice's expression and said softly with a smile.
The female apprentice looked at Sei Itō with surprise when she heard this. Then, she adjusted her expression and put the book aside. She took out a magic letter and a magic pen from under the wooden table and handed them to Sei Itō. "Please fill in the form."
Sei Itō, who was already prepared for this, nodded. He lowered his head and picked up the magic pen made of some unknown bird's feathers and started writing on the letter.
"Name: Chen Xicheng. Age: 19 years old. Place of birth: China Continent …" Sei Itō didn't stop as he wrote down his information one by one according to the form on the letter.
In order to not make his identity as an Asian stand out too much in the magic world, Sei Itō specially used his other name and identity as his information on the form.
"Here." After a while, Ito Sei gave the form back to the female apprentice after he had filled in all the information he could provide.
The female apprentice picked up the form and checked it. She nodded after finding nothing wrong with it. Then, she took out a round bronze plate that had a magic staff and stars engraved on it and gave it to Itosei. The plate was emitting a faint magical wave.
"Take this to the second floor. It's the fifth room from the left." The female apprentice said.
"Oh." Sei Itō took the bronze plate and nodded. He turned around and walked away from the female apprentice and climbed up the stairs to the second floor.
"Dang, dang, dang …" Sei Itō followed the instructions and knocked on the door.
"Come in." The next moment, a slightly rough male voice came from the door.
Sei Itō didn't stand on ceremony. He opened the door and walked into the room. Then, a middle-aged man wearing a light black mage robe with two wide silver lines embroidered on the cuffs came into Ito Sei's sight. He looked a little sloppy.
"He's actually a two star mage …" Sei Itō thought as he glanced at the silver lines on the middle-aged man's cuffs.
There was a need to mention the classification of mages in the Magic Realm. In the Magic Realm, mages were divided into six levels: apprentice mage, official mage, one star mage, two star mage, three star mage, and legendary mage. The conversion rules used in the outside world were that apprentice mages were equivalent to D rank in the outside world, official mages were equivalent to C rank, one star mages were equivalent to B rank, and so on until three star mages were equivalent to S rank.
Mages with strength of three star mages or those who weren't three star mages but had made outstanding contributions in various aspects of magic could receive the honorary title of Great Mage.
"You're here to take the test." The middle-aged man looked at Sei Itō and said.
"I don't know, the receptionist downstairs only told me to bring this here." Sei Itō said as he showed the bronze card in his hand to the middle-aged man.
"Then there's no mistake." The middle-aged man confirmed and then asked again, "What rank mage do you want to be certified as?"
"Can you tell me the certification criteria?" Sei Itō didn't immediately answer the man's question and instead asked another question.
"If you want to be certified as an apprentice mage, you only need to do it in front of me. You only need to use three level zero cantrips on me. If you're an official mage. Then you need to use five level zero cantrips and two level one spells in front of me. For a one star mage, you need to use five level one spells and two level two spells. For a two star mage, you need to use five level two spells and two level three spells. The specific types and categories are not limited. "The middle-aged mage indifferently glanced at Sei Itō and explained.
"Then I'll be certified as an apprentice mage." Sei Itō, who had only mastered a few level zero cantrips, said.
"Okay. When I say start, hold the bronze card in your hand and do it in front of me. " Perform a magic trick in front of me. "The middle-aged man nodded indifferently. Then, he picked up a black hard fingerboard and a magic pen from the short table beside him. There were several pieces of magic paper clipped on top of it. Then he said to Sei Itō in a low voice.
"Okay." Sei Itō, who held the bronze card in his hand again, nodded his head and agreed.
"Are you ready?" The middle-aged man looked at Sei Itō again and asked. Then after Sei Itō nodded his head in confirmation, he said, "Let's start."
As the middle-aged man's words fell. Sei Itō closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Then he slowly opened his eyes and used the [Mixed Yuan Force] and the power of the will in his body. At the same time, he chanted a spell and cast his first level zero cantrip, Light Magic, on the middle-aged man.
In an instant, Sei Itō's upper right hand flashed slightly, and a fist-sized white ball of light appeared in his hand, illuminating the dim room.
"What a strange magic power. Is he a newly awakened wizard?" The middle-aged man carefully observed Sei Itō's Light Magic and frowned slightly. Then he lowered his head and started writing on the magic paper in his hand.
"Okay, next." The middle-aged man said.
After receiving the order, Sei Itō first dispersed the Light Magic in his hand. Then he chanted a spell and cast another level zero cantrip, Hand of Magic.
In an instant, an invisible energy suddenly appeared in the dim room. It grabbed a small prop that was prepared in the room and controlled it to slowly float in front of him, hovering there.
"Next." The middle-aged man who was still observing for a few seconds and writing something on the magic letter said.
After Ito Sei put the small prop in front of him back to its original place with Hand of Spell, he dispersed the Hand of Spell, and then recited the incantation to cast the last Level 0 Trick on the middle-aged man.
However, the magic trick was a semi-deceptive cantrip. When it was cast, there was no direct effect. Everything depended on the middle-aged man's perception.
"Okay." After a few seconds, the middle-aged man said. Then he tore a piece of the magic paper in his hand and handed it to Sei Itō. "Take this assessment to the hall on the first floor and give it to the apprentice who will receive you."
"Okay." Ito Sei reached out to take the magic letter and looked down at the content written on it, nodded and responded.
"Magic Purity: Level C, Magic Control: Level B +, Magic Stability: Level B +, Magic Finesse: Level B, Magic … Comprehensive Assessment: Level B +, Level: Apprentice, Assessment: A, Assessor: Lorenzo Salma Ivando."
"Thank you." After reading the contents of the letter, Sei Itō raised his head and thanked the middle-aged man, Lorenzo Salma Ivando. Then he turned around and left the room. He returned to the hall on the first floor and stood in front of the female apprentice who received him.
"Here you go," Sei Itō said as he handed the assessment to the female apprentice.
"Give me the bronze plate I gave you before." The female apprentice took the assessment and checked it. Then she put it together with Sei Itō's information and said to Sei Itō.
Sei Itō obediently handed the bronze plate back to the female apprentice.
After receiving the bronze plate, the female apprentice quickly took out another bronze plate from under the table. This one was basically the same, except that there were no stars on it. Instead, it was replaced by a book. Then she placed the bronze plate in front of Sei Itō. After the two plates emitted a faint glow, she handed the new bronze plate to Sei Itō.
As for the original bronze plate, she put it together with the assessment and the information sheet into a black wooden box with complicated magic arrays engraved on it.
"This is your apprentice badge. With it, you have the right to enter any industry under the name of the Magic Association. Also, you can take it to the library on the third floor and get a free magic notebook there. Other than these two privileges, you can learn the rest of the details from this notebook, "the female apprentice said as she handed a thin black leather notebook to Sei Itō.
"Okay," Sei Itō said as he took the notebook and nodded. Then, he didn't want to disturb the female apprentice and turned around to leave. He walked up the stairs to the library on the third floor to get the free magic notebook.
In front of the library on the third floor, an old woman handed a black leather notebook to Sei Itō and said, "This is your magic notebook. Please take care of it."
"Thank you," Sei Itō said as he took the notebook. Then, he lowered his head to look at it in front of the old woman.
"It really is an apprentice level notebook … The whole book is about knowledge related to magic. It looks like a training manual for new workers," Sei Itō said as he skimmed through the contents of the notebook.
Then, he nodded to the old woman again and put away the notebook. He turned around and returned to the hall on the first floor. He left the Magic Association and went straight to the library on the central street.
This time, Sei Itō, who had his apprentice badge on, was not stopped by the staff. He smoothly entered the hall of the library. However, he was once again blocked by a large fence.
