The resource distribution hall was bigger than all the halls they had been to so far. People were coming and going inside. Whether it was the counter or the sofa resting area, they were all crowded with apprentices. When the group stepped into the hall, the group of acolytes in colorful robes only raised their heads slightly to take a look, and snorted a few times. It was obvious that they had guessed the group's identity.
"Abelle, you're such a piece of trash. You don't even have the courage to step out of Brute Cavern. Beginner apprentice is going to be your life, "a man in a black robe mocked.
"Talents of this year, watch carefully. This female apprentice is called Abelle. She's the shame of the previous batch. You better stay away from her. Don't get infected by her! Hahahahaha! "
Some apprentices kept mocking Abelle on their way, which affected some of the talents. Hookdick's group purposely stayed away from Abelle as if she was a pathogen.
Abelle did not say anything. She lowered her head and led the group to the second floor. Her silence was completely different from the innocent and lively Abelle Angor saw along the way. It was as if she had become a completely different person, walking alone in the front.
When they reached the second floor, Abelle asked everyone to sit on the sofa nearby. She walked to a counter alone and began to talk with a female apprentice inside. After a while, Abelle came back with a silver disc.
She placed the plate on a short table in the middle and asked everyone to come over.
"This is the receiver. Take out your bone cards and put them here." Abelle pointed at the bottom of the plate, where there was a round groove that matched the size of a bone card. "Put it in, and you'll know if there's a teacher's invitation."
Abelle sat down on the other side of the sofa and asked everyone to start.
Everyone looked at each other. No one wanted to be the first one to start. Nausica was the closest to the plate. She shrugged. "Since you're all so modest, I'll go first."
Everyone looked at the plate. They did not want to be the first one because they did not want to lose face if they did not have a teacher's invitation. Since someone had tasted the crab first, they knew what was going on.
Nausica took out her bone card and inserted it into the slot. A moment later, a white light began to shine from the center of the disk.
A moment later, two cards with different shapes and pictures appeared on the disc.
"You're in luck. Two instructors are interested in you after reading your information. You can choose between the two mentors. " Abelle's eyes flashed with envy. She said to the crowd, "It seems that the number of talents recruited this time is too small. Even the wizards have started to snatch people away. Perhaps, all of you will receive a poster this time! "
Abelle's words made everyone happy. If what Abelle said was true, and everyone had a poster, that would be great!
She picked up two cards with different totems drawn on them. One of them was a green, square card with round patterns. "Fantase Conaita" was written on it.
The other card was diamond-shaped, with a blood-red rose breaking through the ground on a dark black chassis. Beside it was written in cursive: Flora.
"The names on the two cards should be the names of the Magi. But who should I choose without a reference? "Nausica wondered and looked at Abelle for help.
"It's part of my job to introduce your mentors." Abelle accepted the cards with a smile.
"Wait, 'Grass Snail' Fantase?! He hasn't taken in any apprentices for more than ten years! " Abelle looked at the name on the card and exclaimed, "He's a Bloodline Wizard. He's been living in seclusion in Brute Cavern like a hermit. But he's quite strong. Before becoming a wizard, he already reached Level 100 in Floating Mech City's Tower of Infinity. If Mister Tree Spirit is recommending a Bloodline Wizard to you, Mister Fantase is the best choice! "
Abelle picked up the other card and widened her eyes when she saw the name on it.
"Flora … Flora, the Blood Witch!!!" Abelle's exclamation was even louder than the previous one. Many apprentices around them heard her voice. When they heard Flora's name, all the apprentices' pupils shrank. Their faces were filled with fear.
"Who's she? Is she stronger than Mister Fantase? "Nausica asked in confusion.
Abelle took a deep breath. "She's one of the most famous female wizards in the southern wizarding region. She's not famous for her looks, but for her cruel and bloodthirsty ways. She has many famous battles, such as …"
Angor listened to Abelle's explanation and sighed in his mind. He didn't expect the naughty witch to have such a terrible reputation.
"As for Mister Fantase and her, I don't know who's stronger. I'm just an apprentice after all."
Nausica nodded. She admired Flora. A woman who could dominate the entire southern wizarding region must have a heroic spirit.
"Is Lady Flora a Bloodline Wizard too?" Nausica asked.
"That's not it. Lady Flora is an Occult, but I don't know which one," Abelle said.
Nausica frowned at Abelle's words. She was a Bloodline Adept, so she naturally hoped to be taught by a Bloodline Adept. But as a woman, she also wished to be taught by Flora, who was also a woman. Nausica was struggling.
However, Nausica was a decisive woman. She quickly discarded all unnecessary thoughts and chose the most suitable teacher for herself.
Nausica put Flora's card back into the silver plate, picked up Fantase's card, and stepped aside.
…
Following Nausica's example, the other talents began to put their bone cards into the disk one after another.
As Abelle said, there were too few talents in this year's batch. Almost every time someone put a bone card on the plate, a poster would appear.
"This is Mister Wallace, a big shot from the academies …"
"This is Mister Fiery Charm, an Elementalist!"
Abelle introduced them one by one. Fosah also picked up a post from "Grass Snail" Fantase, while Sailum picked up a post from "Night Sage" Caelar. Caelar's post not only shocked Abelle, but also shocked the apprentices who had been paying attention to them all this time.
Abelle only introduced Caelar briefly, but judging from the reactions of the people around them, they knew that Caelar was no ordinary person.
Hookdick put his bone card into the plate as well.
In the next second, a square card shining in golden light appeared in the center of the plate.
"That's … a golden poster!" When Abelle mentioned the golden poster, not only the talents, but also the apprentices who were watching were surprised. "Who is it? He actually accepted a real disciple! "
"The strongest person in our batch had obtained the golden poster and soared to the heavens. He went from an ordinary person with no special talent to an official Magus today!"
"This … This golden poster is an invitation to become an official Magus!"
The apprentices whispered among themselves. Everyone heard them. They did not know what the golden poster was, but judging from the discussions around them, they could guess its value. Therefore, everyone looked at Hookdick enviously. Even Sailum, who was usually calm, was a little jealous. "God must be blind. Even a big bad guy like him is blessed!"
Hookdick felt refreshed under everyone's envious gazes. He even straightened his back and picked up the golden poster proudly. As if showing off, he pointed his nose at Angor with a proud expression and made a "neck-slitting" gesture.
Angor sneered. He did not care at all. Hookdick was about to mock Angor when he heard someone asking Abelle a question.
"What does the golden poster mean? Why is everyone — "
Hookdick also wanted to know what the poster meant, so he ignored Angor and listened to Abelle's explanation.
Before Abelle could answer, one of the apprentices said, "You just got the invitation card, but that doesn't mean you're qualified to be his apprentice. You're just one of his many apprentices. Sometimes, he'll teach you when he's in a good mood. But most of the time, you'll just be doing menial work for him. You can see the details on your bone cards. Your teacher's column is empty.
"The golden poster means that a wizard will only send you a real disciple. You have the poster, which means you're his real student. He will do his best to teach you. You have a wizard to protect you. That's why the golden poster is called an invitation to become a wizard. When that happens, the teacher's column on your bone cards will show the wizard's name. "
When everyone heard this, they all opened their bone cards and looked at the mentor column.
Just as he had said, even though they had received a post from a mentor, the mentor column on their bone cards was still blank.
While the crowd was busy comparing their bone cards, Angor quietly sat on the side and looked at the last column on his card — "Teacher: Sunders".
Seeing the disappointed looks on everyone's faces, Angor quietly put his bone card away.
"So it's empty." Sailum, who was sitting next to Angor, moved closer and pointed at his own bone card.
"Where's your card, Angor?"
"Oh … I put it away. We all have the same information. Ahahaha. " Angor quickly pointed at Hookdick when he saw Sailum's doubtful look. "I wonder which wizard is taking in a disciple. Look, he's saying his name."
Hookdick looked at the name on the card, and under everyone's anticipation, he slowly said, "Nissa Bella."
"Nissa Bella?" "Who's that? Why haven't I heard of him before? "The crowd discussed among themselves." Maybe he's a new wizard? " "That can't be right. There are only a few wizards who have reached their bottleneck. I never heard of anyone with this name."
Abelle walked to Hookdick and looked at him from the side.
Abelle suddenly covered her mouth and giggled. "Hahaha! That's hilarious. It's not Nissa Bella. It's Mister Nissa! "
"Mister Nissa?"
"Mister Nissa Bella, nicknamed 'Undead's Redemption'?"
Abelle nodded. "That's right. The Occult Soul Manipulator wizard."
"Mister Nissa? I was wondering who this Nissa Bella is. Oh, Nissa Bella … Lucky boy, you can't read, can you? " The apprentices around Hookdick were envious of him. But after this incident, they all looked down on him. A man who looked like he was almost 30 years old couldn't even read. Even if he had the guidance of a wizard, he wouldn't be able to achieve anything.
Hookdick's face turned pale and red. He used to be the chief of a small tribe on Ferran Continent. Although it sounded like a tribe, it wasn't as primitive as one would think. At least the nobles could understand the common language. However, he was an exception. Because of his lust and passion for killing, his usual entertainment was spent on women and blood. He did not spend much time learning the common language. This caused him to have a smattering of knowledge about many words. Most of the time, he could only recognize half of the words.
Previously, he was only able to recognize half of the words and felt that he had read them correctly. However, he did not expect that he would mispronounce two words of a name.
"You can't even pronounce the name of your mentor wrong …" Someone shook his head and looked at Hookdick as if he was a joke.
Hookdick opened his mouth and said coldly, "You can take your time learning the common language. However, I'm the only one with a golden invitation card. Even if you're a famous scholar, you can't get one. So, laugh all you want. "
After Hookdick finished speaking, he walked to the side and sat down. He stared at everyone who laughed at him with hatred. Abelle was the first one to bear the brunt.
Under Hookdick's piercing stare, Abelle sensed that something was wrong. After all, Hookdick was a talent with a golden poster. It wouldn't take long for him to surpass her. She didn't want to be hated by someone with a bright future.
However, Abelle didn't know what to do now. She smiled awkwardly and sat down.
"Who else didn't get the poster?" Abelle asked.
Two people stood up at the same time. One of them was Angor, and the other was Balba.
Balba glanced at Angor and sat down. "You first."
"Balba looks like a rough guy, but he's actually a nice guy," Sailum whispered to Angor.
Angor nodded to Balba and walked to the silver plate.
"Hmph!"
When Angor took out his bone card and was about to insert it into the plate, he heard someone snorting from the side. Angor looked over and saw Hookdick tossing the golden invitation card in his hand up and down. It was obvious that Hookdick was trying to intimidate Angor.
Angor smiled at Hookdick and inserted his bone card into the slot.
White light flashed.
A moment later, nothing appeared on the plate.
The apprentices thought it was normal, but the talents were shocked. Angor had always been close to a wizard, and he was accepted into Brute Cavern as an exception without going through the deathmatches. They thought Angor was very talented, but no one was willing to accept him?!
"Ahahahaha! No one wants you? Hahaha! " Hookdick laughed out loud. His eyes were filled with malice and mockery. "Just you wait. Even if the wizard doesn't kill you, I'll kill you one day!"
Before this, Hookdick did not dare to offend Angor openly because he was afraid of the "power" behind Angor. He only tried to intimidate Angor in private. But now, seeing that Angor did not even have a teacher, Hookdick released all his pent-up anger. If there were not so many people around, Hookdick would have killed Angor right there and then.
Nausica and Sailum exchanged a look. Nausica was confused, while Sailum was anxious and worried.
No one on the cloud whale knew about this, but Nausica, who stayed near Angor's tent, knew that not only did the Phantom Servants respect Angor, but the female wizards on the cloud whale also often talked to Angor. How could such a person with such a background not even have a mentor?
While Hookdick was laughing happily, a beam of light suddenly appeared on the plate.
Then, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a handsome middle-aged man appeared in the light.
"Angor, when you're assigned to your place, I'll send my alchemy pet to show you the way. Remember to bring the gold coin I gave you. It'll be my poster, "the middle-aged man spoke in a deep and hoarse voice.
Angor was startled by the sudden appearance of the teacher, but he quickly recovered and nodded.
Sunders nodded and disappeared into the light.
When the disc returned to its normal state, everyone fell silent.
The talents in this batch did not recognize the man in the light, but the apprentices all knew who he was.
"It's …" An apprentice swallowed with trembling fingers. He did not even dare to mention the man's name.
"You're … his … student?" Abelle looked at Angor in fear.
Angor knew that he could no longer hide the truth. He nodded and took out his bone card, showing his "teacher" status.
[Teacher: Sunders]
