Under the leadership of the 726 students, the new children quickly adapted to life in the college.
It wasn't that they were masochists who enjoyed the oppression of military life. Instead, it was the atmosphere formed in a group of twenty-six people born in 726 that very quickly infected the children who were already at their most malleable stage.
Like him, the seniors who left home and came to Wulian City for the sake of their dreams. This was another new term from Earth, but it was quickly accepted by this group of children. Each and every one of them did their best to enrich their physique and knowledge. They naturally followed suit and doubled their efforts, hoping to catch up with the progress of the 726 students.
They had imagined the path of magic, but didn't know the details. They all thought that the seniors' performance was normal, so no one complained. Or rather, with this full schedule, they didn't even have time to take a breather, let alone complain.
In this regard, the Great Wizard watching from the sidelines curled his lips. If his path of magic was like this, then he would have gone home, washed up, and slept. Who would study magic?
Seeing the new children quickly integrate into the established atmosphere of the college, Lin knew that this step should be the right one. If the first batch of children were still lethargic, then perhaps the next batch would also be like that. Then, not to mention creating any talents, it was already fortunate that this college didn't destroy them.
But the feeling of rejoicing didn't last long. Lin learned an incredible thing from Juan Javier.
"Sir, you mean, the new children didn't stay in the association for half a day before they were sent to the college."
"Yes. At least, this was the case for the few that Annmarie asked. "
As a Great Wizard who lived in the college, even if he often went out, but it was difficult for him not to have an intersection with the children's lives. It was inevitable that some children would seek the help of a Great Wizard in their precious free time.
According to the practice of Great Wizards, teaching other people's apprentices without authorization was a taboo. It was also a taboo for an apprentice to consult someone other than their own teacher. But in the college, no one was officially registered as master and apprentice. Lin also didn't let the children call the two official Wizards teachers. They all called them Sir. Logically speaking, these children were not qualified to ask him questions, but it was not impossible for them to ask him questions.
To be honest, there was no precedent for the existence of the academy, and some of the old rules did not apply to the new situation. Moreover, Juan wasn't a cold person. He loved making friends, so of course, he wouldn't mind helping his juniors.
It was just that the questions asked by this group of children were too low-level. It was fine if it was just one or two questions, but most of the children would ask these basic questions, and they would constantly repeat them. Therefore, he simply sent away his students who had already become official Magicians to answer their doubts.
It was also because of this contact that Juan Javier was able to learn about the situation of this group of children through An Marie. What surprised him the most was the matter that Xiang Lin was talking about.
Lin was puzzled and asked himself, "Shouldn't the Association test the new children's talents and find suitable and willing teachers for them? Why didn't they do anything and just came to our border? "
"That's right. But it's not like I can't understand such a way of handling things. "Juan Javier looked at someone meaningfully. The flirtatious look in his eyes made Lin want to beat him up.
That's right. From Shor Ethan's point of view, such an action was actually a kind of stumbling block. Let more people enter this academy and divide up the already scarce resources. Since he wanted someone to admit defeat and obediently listen to his opinions.
At least from the way someone actively contacted other nobles to seek financial and resource support, it could be guessed that the academy's finances were not very generous, so they needed to find external help.
In fact, what others didn't expect was that Lin went everywhere to ask for support not because he couldn't afford it. Although the income of language P was not as phenomenal as the browser's, it was still considerable enough.
In the past, the guards had to be entrusted to send Lin's income to the Tower of the Great Sage. Perhaps the guards directly under the Chamber of Commerce were trustworthy, but these people might not be able to keep their mouths shut. No matter how many boxes of kiel (gold coins) were sent, it would be constantly exaggerated in the bragging.
But now, all the income was collected by Lin personally in the South Tower, so it was difficult for others to know or even calculate how much Lin's current income was.
The Association was very strict about the protection of the mage's personal information. Especially after there was an incident where a great mage was dissatisfied that his information was leaked, and in an unexpected surprise attack, he massacred the headquarters of a branch in a district. The staff working inside the Association had their own set of standards and requirements. Especially the people involved in language P, one of them was a great mage, a Lich, and it was said that he was the Demon King from a thousand years ago.
The defense system of the five magic towers connected together was not a problem to deal with such a person. But before the defense system really came into play, how many casualties would there be? And after the defense system came into play, how confident were they to keep the other party?
Traditional war fortresses like magic towers could neither react quickly in the face of great power, nor could they launch a decisive attack. Only the magic towers could fight more than the great mage. As long as the invading great mage did not retreat, the magic tower would be the final victor … Was there any mage that was so stupid? If the demon general who was stuck in the crack of the plane and was killed by the magic tower didn't count …
It was also because of this that when Shure Edison personally went to the South Tower and asked to transfer all of Lin's income to the Charlie Richard Foundation, he was met with a cold shoulder. He was even reprimanded by the master of the South Tower, "If your teacher came to me personally, I might consider for a while before refusing. But who are you to make such a ridiculous request to me? Leave, or I'll have my people send you away on a stretcher. "
As a descendant of a noble, he had never been so wronged. But he could not have any opinions about the master of the South Tower. His teacher was not so protective that he would not ask for any reason. Anyway, his student was right, and he supported him wholeheartedly and unconditionally. Therefore, he vented his anger on an unlucky person. This was also one of the reasons why Lin was resented by the students of Orange Eaton.
But even if the income from language P was enough to cover the expenses of the academy at this stage, Lin did not really want to bear all of it himself. The academy originally had to find ways to generate income, and in the end, bear its own expenses, and achieve a balance of income and expenditure. Seeking the help of the nobles, in addition to the need for money and support, was more or less the idea of using the distribution of benefits to divide the nobles.
In any case, the children who were sent to the academy without going through the test of the Association, in addition to being taught magic knowledge according to other people's methods, there was another important thing to be determined. That was to judge each person's talent in learning magic.
This was a bit similar to the online novels on Earth, where the result could be seen by pinching a stone. A set of specially designed magic stone devices was carried by the person being tested. Using a principle similar to a thermometer, this device would absorb the power that naturally overflowed from the human body, and finally achieve a state of balance. The result was the performance of a person's magic talent.
The grading of the evaluation was based on the color of the magic stone, from the lowest red to the highest purple.
And for this device to coordinate with the human body and achieve a balance, it would take at least half a day. And there would be changes after that, and it was not completely fixed. The longest time … Well, basically, if there was no result after more than a day, the person would be evaluated as having no magic talent to speak of, and there would be no point in continuing to endure.
Since the new children had not been tested on their magic talent, of course, Lin found the talent stone that he had not used for a long time from his collection. It was a stone plate with a magic array engraved on it, and three dim magic stones were inlaid on it, three colors red, orange, and yellow. As long as the test subject carried it with him, the results would be produced in half a day to a day.
By the way, Lin and his two little apprentices were both red. And it took a lot of time to show some clues of color. Generally speaking, orange was the most basic level of talent required to become a Magician. Yellow was considered excellent. The initial talent performance of most mages was between orange and yellow. Then red was …
Green and above could be regarded as extraordinary talent, and even the legendary purple was perfect talent. But that kind of thing was just a rumor, because in the discussion with Fen, he learned a joke. The talent performance that was tested in this era's maze was actually a measure of the power contained in each person's body. And this thing could be changed through training or modification of the body in previous eras.
Simply put, everyone could learn magic, it was just a matter of how much they had to pay. Modifying the natural power contained in the body was not only difficult, it was usually accompanied by pain. Some modifications even had side effects, and people could no longer be called "people."
Since knowing the magic talent of himself and his two apprentices, Lin did not take out the talent stone again. Mages had such things to test children who might have talent at any time during the journey, and to add new blood to the world of mages.
Unfortunately, the standard distribution of the talent stone was quite cumbersome, and the test took about a day, so most mages were unwilling to do such a troublesome thing. On the day they became official mages and received this gift from the Association, what most mages did was to break it into three magic stones and a magic stone. Sell it, or use it for other purposes.
The talent stone, however, had other lighter designs, as well as high-grade products that could test a higher level of talent. But Lin did not think that he could use it, so he did not consider preparing something better, even if he could afford it now.
Now that he could use it, he took a cloth bag and let the children who were tested carry the talent stone on their backs, and remember to hug it when they slept. Basically, the results would be out the next morning.
It was called weight-bearing training, and it was also to test magic talent. So no matter how young the children were, they did not dare to complain, for fear of letting go of every opportunity that should be firmly grasped.
