Chapter 113 Magic Level Test
The magic attribute test is over, and the next step is to test the magic level.
"Aim at the wall in front of you and unleash all the magic skills you know. Don't hold back. This wall is very solid and can withstand the attacks of high-level wizards." Job said to the children who were learning the seven types of magic.
Shu Li took two steps forward, raised his jet-black, low-level magic staff, and began to chant: "Great God of Fire, Amafa Chips, I am... Sperian, your faithful messenger. I beg you to command the element of fire to gather around me and bring me a fireball that will incinerate everything!"
The fire element in the air suddenly became agitated and rushed towards him.
Shu Li immediately felt that he was surrounded by a bunch of chewy "slimes". He had an idea and rejected a large amount of slimes, absorbing only a small part and condensing it into the front end of the magic wand.
Many fire elements were rejected and squeezed together unwillingly, circling around Shu Li, sticky and sticky. If they could make a sound, they would have cried by now.
Shu Li told himself not to be soft-hearted. He controlled the release of his magic power and squeezed out a small fireball. He quickly waved his magic wand and swung it hard. The fireball hit the wall more than 20 meters away. With a "sizzle", it disappeared without a trace, leaving no trace of burning on the wall.
Putting down his magic wand, he took a breath and sweated profusely.
It's not that I'm tired, it's that I'm almost overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the fire element.
Saying no is a very hard thing.
When Job saw him like this, he thought that he was working very hard to condense the elements. He thought to himself, as expected, with poor conditions and no famous teacher to guide him, he had wasted such good magical attributes.
However, he spoke Elvish very standardly, and I wonder who taught him.
All magic spells must be cast in Elvish, otherwise they will be ineffective.
It is said that Elvish is the language of the gods, and as long as you understand Elvish, you can communicate with the gods.
"You did a great job." Job said compliments against his will, not wanting to dampen the child's confidence. "Do you know other types of magic? Unleash them all!"
Shu Li wiped the sweat from his face and said seriously, "Yes, Teacher Job."
Next, he cast wind, water, light, earth, and wood magic in turn. Every time he cast a spell, a layer of sweat appeared on his face. When he finished casting the wood magic skills, he was already soaked all over.
It’s difficult, too difficult.
It was so hard for him to resist the passionate natural elements!
Especially the last wood magic, he was extremely nervous, fearing that the wood elf would suddenly appear and scare Teacher Job.
Fortunately not.
After putting down his magic wand, he was so tired that he could hardly stand. He bent over with one hand on his knee. It felt like there was a thousand-pound weight on his back. Those "slimes" that were reluctant to leave stuck to him and were unwilling to leave.
Job felt great sympathy for the exhausted child.
The fact that this child could cast six types of magic continuously showed that he was very talented. Unfortunately, without the guidance of a famous teacher, the power of his magic was not as good as expected.
"We still need dark magic." After writing a bunch of comments on the form, Job asked the panting child, "Do you know how to do it?"
Shu Li used the magic wand as a crutch to support himself, wiped the sweat from his face and shook his head: "Um... I... I don't know dark magic yet."
Of course he knows dark magic, such as dispel, freeze, slow down, etc.
However, the Elf King once told him that the Magic Association had strict controls on dark magic books, and ordinary people could not buy them unless they went to a magic academy for systematic study.
Since his character is an ordinary civilian who has never attended a magic academy, he shouldn't be able to use dark magic.
His answer was approved by Job.
Ilio, who was watching from the sidelines, had a glint of approval in his eyes.
The little guy is very smart and knows how to hide his shortcomings.
Job wrote his final comments, stamped the test as passed, and handed the form to Shu Li. "Congratulations on passing the magic apprentice exam. Take the form to the registration desk outside to receive your magic badge."
"Thank you, teacher!" Shu Li took the form with both hands, saluted politely, and then skipped over to Ilio, urging him, "Brother, let's go get our badges!"
Elio laughed as he was dragged out the door.
Looking at the hurried backs of the two men, Job called out to them without hesitation: "Please wait a moment, both of you."
"Ah?" Shu Li stopped and turned around to ask, "Teacher Ye Bo, is there anything else?"
Job quickly took out a piece of letter paper from his storage bag, picked up a feather pen, and quickly wrote a few lines in the common language of the continent. After finishing, he put it in a golden envelope, marked the recipient's name, and sealed it with wax.
The whole set of movements was completed in one go, so fast that Shu Li was surprised.
Job took the golden envelope and handed it to Shu Li, saying seriously, "Little Sperian, you are a rare magical genius. As a magic tester who discovers talents, I really can't bear to see your talent buried."
Shu Li raised her head and blinked her pure gray-green eyes.
What does it mean?
Job looked at the child's innocent face and said in a deep voice, "Take this letter and go to the Saint Villiers School of Magic in the courtyard and give it to the magic teacher Gabrielle Muse. She will arrange your studies at the magic school."
"This..." Shu Li hesitated and did not take the letter immediately. Instead, he looked sideways at Ilio.
As a little elf, does he need to go to a human magic academy?
If I accept this letter but don't report to the magic academy, wouldn't I be letting down their kindness?
Job thought he was worried about tuition, so he patiently explained, "Magic testers are given one recommended student quota every year, and I haven't used mine this year. I think you have great potential and deserve a better career. Don't worry, recommended students receive preferential treatment. The first year's tuition is waived, and tuition only starts in the second year."
If you demonstrate exceptional talent, full tuition waiver is possible.
Shu Li was surprised when he heard this.
In this backward society where royal power is supreme, there is actually a magic academy with such good welfare, which leaves a path for ordinary people to rise.
He had heard from Sit that the founder of the Saint Villiers School of Magic was the French Saint Danlov.
Those who can be blessed by the Elf King are indeed different from others.
The conditions are very good and tempting. If you were a real civilian, you would be so excited that you would be overwhelmed at this moment.
But he was a little elf taught by the Elf King himself, and when he heard Job's words, he just opened his mouth slightly in surprise and had no time to show a happy expression.
"Teacher Job, thank you so much!" Ilio took the envelope and excitedly shook Job's hand. "Thank you for your help! I really don't know how to repay you! Your letter means so much to us! I will definitely work hard to earn money for my brother's tuition!"
By the end of his speech, his eyes were red.
Shu Li was stunned by his exaggerated acting skills. She reacted quickly and secretly pinched her thigh. Her eyes became moist and her nose turned red due to the pain.
"Teacher Job... Thank you... I will study hard and strive to become an excellent magician as soon as possible!"
The two brothers' eyes were filled with tears, which made Job very excited. He diligently took them to the registration office to submit the forms and receive the badges of magic apprentices.
Shu Li got the freshly made badge and couldn't let it go.
The badge is in the shape of a hexagram, with grooves for inlaying crystals in each corner and the middle. He is a seven-element magician, and the badge is inlaid with seven small crystals of different colors.
Job warmly saw them off from the gate of the Magic Association.
After Shu Li and Ilio expressed their gratitude again, they reluctantly left, looking back every few steps. They stopped only after turning into a small path and no one else was visible. They then looked at each other.
“Puff—”
Shu Li couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Ilio laughed along with him.
"Ha ha ha ha--"
They laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt, and passers-by looked at them like they were fools.
After a while, they stopped laughing and wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes.
Shu Li breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and calmed down. He said with emotion, "Argo, there are kind-hearted people among humans."
After a couple of days of observation and interaction, he was somewhat disappointed with the humans in the other world, especially the upper class, who showed no mercy to the common people.
He had thought that the people in the Magic Association were arrogant and looked down on them, but the magician was fair and just, allowing him to obtain the magic badge smoothly and even unexpectedly received a letter of recommendation from the Magic Academy.
Elio said, "Humanity is a diverse group. As you interact with them more, you'll discover that there are good and bad people in every class. However, nothing is absolute. How to determine whether someone is good or bad depends on your own judgment."
Shu Li nodded seriously: "Yes."
Human nature is complex and cannot be generalized.
He had indeed been thinking in the wrong direction before. You can't bring down everyone just because one or two people have a bad experience.
There are still many good people in this world, such as the people in the dance troupe, the clothing store owner, and Teacher Job.
"Let's go, it's time to go back." Ilio patted his shoulder.
"Yeah." Shu Li walked briskly with him to the public carriage stop. "Argo, there's a question I can't figure out."
Elio lowered his head and said, "I want to ask why you registered with your real name?"
"Yes. Why?" Shu Li was puzzled. Since he had used his real name, wouldn't the pseudonym be redundant?
Ilio said, "When we come out to train, we don't mind using our real names. When to use a real name and when to use a pseudonym depends on each person."
Shu Li tilted her head: "Is that so?"
Elio ruffled his hair. "The most important point is that a pseudonym cannot replace your real name when casting a magic spell."
"Oh, that's right!" Shu Li suddenly realized.
A complete magic spell must reveal one's identity to the gods. If a false name is used, the spell will be ineffective.
When the magic level is increased, the steps to prove one's identity can be reduced appropriately, but the magic power will be reduced.
Therefore, if you want to unleash the full power of magic, you must recite the complete spell.
A pseudonym can fool ordinary people, but it cannot fool magicians.
The two arrived at the station, took a public carriage and returned to the hotel.
After working for more than two hours, the child's body couldn't bear it anymore and he yawned continuously. The shaking of the carriage made him sleepy.
Shu Li's head was slowly moving closer and closer to his chest. Seeing this, Ilio put his arm around him and let him sleep against his shoulder.
With someone to rely on, Shu Li closed his eyes with peace of mind.
More than twenty minutes later, the carriage arrived at the street stop where the hotel was located. Passengers got off one after another. Shu Li was drooling in her sleep, and the smell was extremely fragrant.
Ilio didn't have the heart to wake the sleeping elf, so he easily picked him up and tucked the low-level magic wand under his arm.
When they walked to the door of the hotel, a dark shadow suddenly rushed over. His muscles tensed and he instantly became alert.
"Mr. Al! You're finally back!"
It was Mary's anxious voice.
Elio lowered his guard, relaxed his muscles, and looked at Mary, who was dressed in a gorgeous outfit, in confusion under the light of the magic stone streetlight.
"What happened?" he asked.
"There's no time to explain. Please follow me." Mary took his arm and walked towards the carriage parked near the inn.
"Wait, Miss Mary..." Ilio was afraid that she would wake up the goblin, so he followed her reluctantly.
Bart, who was driving the carriage in the front room, saw them coming and jumped down nimbly to help open the door of the carriage.
Mary jumped into the carriage first and turned to look at the black-haired young man who was standing still.
"Mr. Al, please..."
"Miss Mary, I won't get in the car if you don't tell me the reason," said Elio.
Mary clasped her hands together and apologized to him: "I'm sorry, Mr. Al, it's really too urgent, I need your help to save the situation!"
Ilio looked at her impassively.
