When the bell was still echoing in the magic tower, the thirty apprentices of Thorn Tree Class saw that Lucien had already left with the test papers without any hesitation. Therefore, they began to discuss with each other enthusiastically.
"Annick, Heidi, Layria, do you know this Mr. X?" Noticing their unusual reaction, the class leader, Grant, asked curiously. He was wearing a white shirt and a small suit. He had black curly hair and a pair of deep-set black eyes.
The other apprentices also looked at him, hoping to know more about this unique teacher.
Annick nodded slightly, "Yes, we know Mr. Evans." He had always respected and admired his class monitor, who was talented in arcana and spiritual power and had a good relationship with other people.
Grant clicked his tongue, "That's great! Is Mr. Evans always so cool? He said that you don't need to listen to my class, as long as you can pass the final test? "
"No one has ever dared to say that. They always want us to focus all our attention on them in class. They are so old-fashioned and serious that I hate them. They are not as open-minded and cool as Mr. Evans. Sometimes, I've already understood what they're talking about, and I don't need to waste my time on them. Isn't it better to learn something else? "
As if he had met a confidant, and also as if he was impressed by Lucien's style, Grant was very excited. He also called Mr. Evans as Annick did. The other apprentices also felt that Lucien was very cool. He didn't care whether the other apprentices were serious or not, but only cared about the final test.
Heidi bared her teeth and said seriously, "It's true that Mr. Evans doesn't really care about his students' concentration, because he always says, 'You're learning arcana and magic for yourself, not for me. If you can't become a sorcerer, you won't be sad. So, why should I care about your attitude?' However, this is just one side of him. The other side …" Heidi paused for a second and then said to Heidi seriously and solemnly.
Lucien's words were simple and easy to understand. All the apprentices, including Sprint and Katrina, nodded slightly. Even though there was no teacher watching them, their yearning for the identity and power of a real sorcerer filled them with motivation and pressure. Although some people despised hard work, none of them would slack off. Therefore, they liked Lucien even more. They felt that he was a good friend of the apprentices, and a teacher who was so unique that he was almost cool!
"What's the other side of Mr. Evans?" Grant was very curious about Lucien. He noticed that Heidi didn't finish her words.
Remembering the practice just now and their unbearable experience, Heidi and Layria answered at the same time, "You'll know in a while. I hope you won't hate Mr. Evans too much by then!"
"Well, why would we hate him?" Grant and the other apprentices felt that this kind of teacher was the only one they would admire.
Annick, Heidi and Layria shook their heads at the same time, "You'll know in a while." It seemed that it was also a happy thing to see other people suffering the same pain as them.
Curious, the apprentices started the second class, "Magic Potion (Beginner)".
…
In the teachers' office of the formal apprentice class.
As soon as Lucien stepped into the office with the test paper, the five teachers, three male and two female, raised their heads and smiled at him. The other seven teachers were still busy preparing the content of the class or analyzing their own spells.
Seeing their smiles, Lucien nodded back to them one by one. When he arrived at the office this morning, he was worried that the other teachers would question his ability to get into Douglas Magic School with only seven arcana credits, but he didn't expect that Rock would tell them everything. Therefore, the five teachers who were close to Rock all expressed their kindness and enthusiasm to Lucien, while the other seven teachers who didn't get along with Lucien became indifferent and almost ignored him.
Of course, if Lucien didn't discuss the nature of spiritual power with them, they wouldn't have the time to make things difficult for a sorcerer who had not even reached the level of a formal arcanist.
"Lucien, Ancient Magic Language and Introduction to Magic Creatures are not that difficult to teach. You'd better hurry up and learn the basics of arcana." Vilnia, a blonde female sorcerer who was about to go to class, kindly reminded Lucien when she passed by his desk.
Vilnia was a level one arcanist and a second-circle sorcerer, and she was good at Illusion and Force Field. She was about twenty-five years old, but she was already married. Her husband was a noble Knight with the title of Viscount. Therefore, every morning, she would take the magic steam train from Renstadt, the capital of the Kingdom of Holm, to Lucien's office.
Since she was both a sorcerer and a noble, she only needed to pay two Nars for a round trip.
Lucien smiled politely, "Thank you for your reminder, Ms. Vilnia. I'll keep it in mind."
"Lucien, you're my favorite polite and handsome young man. If you have time in Renstadt, please come to my house." As a married lady, Vilnia was not as shy as she was when she was still single. She smiled and joked with Lucien.
In the whole magic school, about a third of the magic teachers were female. Some were beautiful, and some were ordinary. There were even some who had failed in their magic experiments or had been eroded by the magic energy of a certain school for a long time and looked terrible.
After Vilnia left, Lucien took out the test paper and skimmed through it. He had a rough idea about the level of Ancient Magic Language in the Thorn Tree Class. Then he took out his quill and paper and started to review the second-circle spell, Mirror Image.
After the battle with the murloc sorcerer, Lucien was very interested in this spell. Also, this was a basic spell in the school of illusion, which was also recorded in Astrology and Magic Elements. Therefore, Lucien decided to use this spell as his first second circle spell, so that he could become a second circle sorcerer.
…
In the Magic Experiment Tower in the Douglas Magic School.
After the last class of Introduction to Magic Creatures in the afternoon, Lucien left the Blood Bird class in a hurry and came here.
"Hello, I'd like to use an alchemy lab," said Lucien politely to the old sorcerer who was in charge of the Magic Experiment Tower.
The old sorcerer's name was Ines, and he was a level one and two circle sorcerer. Lucien had no idea why he was able to become the manager of the Magic Experiment Tower.
There was no smile on his wrinkled face. He said to Lucien in a businesslike manner, "I'm sorry, Mr. Evans. The labs are full. Please come early tomorrow."
"The labs are full?" Lucien looked up at the five-story magic tower. Although it was not very spacious, there should be at least ten labs on each floor. How could it be full so fast?
"Mr. Evans, we need to reserve twenty magic labs for the apprentices who like to do magic experiments, so they can practice after dinner. After all, this is a magic school." Innes answered calmly, "Mr. Evans, we need to reserve twenty magic labs for those diligent apprentices who like to do magic experiments. Except for the level-two arcanists, the rest of the labs are reserved for the teachers who arrive first. I'm sorry you're late. "
"There are so many teachers who need to do experiments?" asked Lucien, a bit frustrated and surprised.
Ines nodded, "Most of them are not doing real experiments. Instead, they're making potions and items with the alchemy circles and magic circles in the labs. They're also testing their own magic structures and summoning rites. They don't need a lot of expensive materials, just like what the apprentices do."
"Mr. Evans, you know that the biggest hope for the teachers is to use the labs for free."
"Yes, I understand. But Mr. Ines, are you sure you don't have any free magic labs? For example, the ones reserved for level-two arcanists or apprentices. Let me use them first, and I'll come out when they arrive. Is that okay? "Lucien was never a person who would back down easily. He kept trying to come up with a solution.
If it were not for the fact that formal labs required a lot of materials to carve magic circles, which was not something Lucien could afford right now, Lucien would have already built one for himself.
Ines shook his head firmly, "No, I can't break the school's rules. Unless you become a level-two arcanist, Mr. Evans, you'll have special privileges. "
If an arcanist did not have any status or privileges after leveling up, it was likely that many mages would not be so passionate about studying arcana. To them, the basics of arcana were enough as long as they could learn enough magic, which directly represented power.
Lucien tried a few more times, but he was firmly rejected by Ines every time.
When Lucien was about to go and see if there were any sorcerers who were using the labs, a deep and heavy voice came from behind, "Are you Lucien Evans?"
Lucien turned around and saw a tall man. He was a head taller than Lucien, and his face was plain and honest. He was wearing a black double-breasted suit, which made him look like a strong bear.
"Yes, I'm Lucien Evans. Um, X. And who are you?" May I ask who you are? "Lucien thought that names were easy to confuse, so he said the code name of X.
The tall man smiled, "I know. I know all the other teachers in the school, so when I saw a stranger, I subconsciously thought it was you. Nice to meet you, I'm K. "
"So you're Mr. K, the one with the same name as me." Lucien looked at K.
K said a bit shyly, "Rock was going to introduce us to each other at noon, but something came up. I'm sorry. By the way, Lucien, you didn't take the lab? "
There was no other explanation for standing in front of the manager of the Magic Experiment Tower.
Lucien nodded. "Yes, I'm late because of the last class," said Lucien.
K rubbed his blond hair and smiled sincerely, "If so, why don't you use the lab with me? What kind of magic experiment are you going to do? "
"Making magic potions. I won't disturb your magic experiment, right? "Lucien asked politely.
K shook his head, "Most of the time, I don't need so many alchemy circles in my experiments, so it doesn't conflict with making magic potions. Let's go together, Lucien. We have the same name, and we're both good friends of Rock. "
"Thank you, K. Just like Rock said, you're always willing to help others. "Lucien thanked K sincerely and didn't let go of this opportunity.
K smiled a bit embarrassedly, which didn't match his strong body, "I've been able to get to where I am today because of the help of many people. Okay, let's go to the lab. "He was obviously not the kind of guy who was good at finding topics to talk about.
With K's permission, Ines didn't say anything else and let them go to the fourth floor of the magic tower. (To be continued. If you like this work, you're welcome to come to qidian.com to vote. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
