Chapter 174 Obtaining the Magic Badge
Facing the instructor's shock, Shu Li calmly replied, "Yes, I am an apprentice of the Seventh Element of Magic."
The instructor examined the black-haired boy from head to toe, and sighed inwardly as he saw him wearing a low-level magic robe and holding a low-level magic wand.
It has been a long time since a seventh-level magician appeared in the Austin continent. Even if there was one, it died halfway due to various reasons.
To train an excellent seventh-level magician requires a huge amount of resources, which ordinary magic academies cannot afford.
The young man in front of me was obviously from a common family and had to work harder than others to have the opportunity to go further.
However, the instructor is still quite optimistic about him.
He received the badge of junior magic apprentice at the age of ten, which shows that he is gifted.
So now, let her experience the power of the seven series of magic!
"Sperian—" she said seriously, "Please start your magic test."
"Yes, teacher."
Shu Li walked to the testing area, raised his low-level magic wand, and started with a light magic.
"Great God of Light, Lyant Freys, I am Sperian, your faithful believer. Please command the elements of light to gather around me and bring me a ball of light that will dispel all darkness!"
Shu Li skillfully rejected a large amount of sticky light elements, accurately controlled the magic power, squeezed out a ball of pure light, and waved his magic wand. The ball of light shot towards the wall more than 20 meters away like lightning.
"boom--"
The wall burst into a dazzling light.
The instructor's eyes were sharp, and he secretly admired him as he saw that his movements were as smooth as flowing water.
This is a diligent and studious young man. He can only be so fluent after practicing hundreds and thousands of times.
Shu Li did not stop and cast water, wind, fire, earth and wood magic in turn, which surprised the instructor.
As far as she knew, multi-system magicians were often unable to achieve a balance due to conditions and could only major in one system, with the others serving as auxiliary.
The young man in front of him was different. His six types of magic had reached the same level, without any favoritism.
As for the dark system...
When the instructor saw the black-haired boy put down his magic wand, he knew that he had not learned dark magic.
Dark magic needs to be taught by teachers from a regular magic academy. Learning it privately is against the rules and is not conducive to future development. If you lose control and go astray, the result will be more harm than good.
He is very good, really very good.
"All of you have reached level six. Congratulations, you have been promoted to an intermediate magic apprentice." The instructor filled out the test form with a smile on his face and handed it to Shu Li.
Shu Li took the form with both hands. "Thank you, teacher."
The instructor looked at the three outstanding teenagers kindly and said, "You can go to the registration office and submit your forms."
"Yes, teacher!"
The three goblins responded in unison, bowed to their instructor, and left the testing room.
Standing in the corridor, Desio sighed and groaned.
“It’s so difficult!”
It's so hard to resist the passionate element of fire!
They are so cute and positive, but I have to cruelly reject them. I feel so sad. Woo woo woo——
Angel's mood at the moment was exactly the same as his, he rejected a large amount of light elements and felt guilty.
Shu Li patted their shoulders and comforted them, "Just get used to it. Practice more and you'll get perfect."
Precisely controlling magic power is also a skill.
"Well, I'll try my best!" Discio clenched his fist firmly.
"Me too." Angel nodded.
A magician passing by saw the three teenagers with sad faces and thought that their test results were not ideal, so he looked sighing.
The path to becoming a magician is long and arduous. Many people stagnate after reaching a certain level, never able to break through and die in depression. Only those with a strong will, who take one step at a time and never give up or retreat, can reach the other side of success.
I hope these young people can maintain a calm mindset, study hard, and achieve something in the future.
“Click——”
The door of Test Room No. 2 opened, and Kumandi went out first with a frown, followed by Budno who sighed and Amanda who looked dejected.
Shu Li saw them and quickly went up to ask, "How are you?"
Kumandi pursed his lips and said, "Just barely reaching level six."
Magic levels are divided into three levels according to strength. Levels one to three are junior magic apprentices, levels four to six are intermediate magic apprentices, and so on.
Kumandi reduced his magic power to level six, becoming an intermediate magic apprentice.
Shu Li smiled and said, "I'm the same as you."
One of them is an intermediate-level wizard, and the other is a junior-level wizard. It is not easy for them to be reduced to the sixth-level level.
Budno said in frustration, "I'm sorry... I didn't perform well. I passed level six and moved on to level seven."
Level seven means advanced magic apprentice.
It's not that he didn't want to suppress it to level six, but he really couldn't resist the closeness of the water element and accidentally released a little more magic power.
Shu Li said: "It's okay, just do your best."
"Yeah." Budno nodded.
Amanda raised her hand weakly. "I'm level eight... also a high-level magic apprentice."
He was temporarily stuffed into the Light Team and had never suppressed his magic power before. He was in a panic during the test just now and almost got exposed. Fortunately, at the critical moment, he tried his best to reject the elements of light and water, and was able to suppress his magic power to level eight.
As the team leader, Shu Li patted their arms encouragingly. "Whether you're intermediate or advanced, you're all magic apprentices."
Therefore, there is not much difference. As long as you meet the admission requirements of the magic academy according to your age, there will be no problem.
Budno and Amanda were relieved and smiled happily.
"Let's go exchange the magic badge!" Dizio jumped anxiously.
With the magic badge, they became "humans" with status and would never be refused entry to the city again.
Without further delay, Team Light returned to the hall in high spirits.
Ace, who was sitting on a lounge chair in the hall, heard the noise and stood up to look at the energetic young men.
"Ace!" Shu Li was sharp-eyed and waved at him.
Ace walked over and asked, "Have you all finished the test?"
"Alright." Shu Li raised the form in his hand, "Everyone performed well."
Ace looked at the others and smiled, "Congratulations."
"Hehehe——" Budno said with great joy, "Sorry to have kept you waiting!"
"It didn't take long." Ace looked back at the magician who was entertaining the guests and said, "I chatted with Henry for a while while you were testing."
"Henry?" Shu Li was surprised. This human classmate was even more impressive than Angel. In less than twenty minutes, he even knew the name of the magician.
Ace nodded and said, "Yes, I asked him about some work matters."
"Got a job?" Shu Li's eyes widened in surprise. So fast! This human classmate's social skills were truly exceptional!
"Yes." Ace said, "You guys change your magic badges first, and we'll talk about other things later."
"Okay!"
The little elves and dragons immediately lined up at the registration window, and used the forms in their hands to exchange for their own magic badges.
Holding the freshly made badge, he couldn't let it go. He admired it for a long time and pinned it on his magic robe to show his identity as a magic apprentice.
"Ace, tell me what the job is?" Discio asked impatiently.
Facing the innocently curious faces of the teenagers, Ace smiled gently. "Henry told us that the Magic Association regularly issues quests, and the rewards are based on the difficulty of the quest. I just glanced at the quest list, and there's one that's perfect for us. If we complete it, we'll get 100 gold coins."
"One hundred gold coins!" Team Light exclaimed in unison.
Who posted the task? How generous!
Human living standards are limited, and most civilians live a hard life. An employer who can pay 100 gold coins is either rich or noble.
"Yes." Ace smiled, "One hundred gold coins are enough to get to the courtyard."
Kumandi asked calmly, "Is the mission dangerous?"
The reward is very high, which means the mission is quite difficult. Although it is not a problem with their strength, it is still better to be cautious.
After his reminder, Shu Li calmed down.
You also have to be a quiet student and stay alert at all times.
"It shouldn't be big." Ace told them the specific content of the mission in detail.
The mission goal is to solve the rat infestation for a family in the town.
The family was one of the few wealthy merchants in Kesheng Town. Their house was large and luxurious, but they were plagued by rats. No matter how many rats they killed, they kept coming back. For two years, they had consulted many rat exterminators, but to no avail. To ensure the peace of their home, they had no choice but to seek help from the Magic Association.
The reward for a magician to take on a mission is not low. A high-level magician can get at least 500 gold coins for each mission.
The rich businessman was a miser and was only willing to pay fifty gold coins to hire a magic apprentice.
However, Kesheng Town is a remote town with only a handful of magic apprentices passing by. After waiting for more than a month, no one took the task. Seeing that the rats in his home were infesting, the rich businessman gritted his teeth and increased the reward to 100 gold coins, hoping that the Magic Association would find a magic apprentice elsewhere to help him eliminate the rats.
Because, if he doesn't deal with it, the rat holes in his house will become a maze, and everyone else in the town will laugh at him.
Why do other people's homes have mice, but yours does? Did you do something evil and are being punished by the gods?
When the rich businessman heard these rumors, he was furious and repeatedly urged the Magic Association to send a magic apprentice to help.
After Ace learned the details from Henry, he thought they could take on the mission.
"Get rid of the rats? No problem!" Dizio said excitedly. "Small animals are intelligent. Just communicate with them!"
Fairies and animals are friends, so friendly communication is not a problem. Although mice are ugly, thieving, and enjoy playing hide-and-seek, they can be solved with some persuasion.
If you really can't solve the problem, then... use some means to scare them.
The mouse is so timid.
Shu Li looked at his innocent little friend and thought to himself.
The mice in the fairy forest are intelligent and know how to restrain themselves, but the mice in the human world are not necessarily like that. In order to survive, they often do whatever it takes.
Therefore, if negotiations fail, don't blame them for using force.
"We've accepted this mission," Shu Li said to Ace. "Who should we ask to take it?"
"Just go to the registration window to accept the task." Ace was thorough and had found out the entire process.
Soon, Shu Li stood with him at the registration window and explained their purpose.
When the magician in charge of issuing tasks learned that they were going to take on a rat control task from a wealthy businessman, he handled the formalities with a friendly smile.
However, if multiple people take on a task, they must do so in the name of a team, otherwise it will be difficult to distribute the remuneration.
"Team Light," Shu Li said first. "Our team is called Team Light. There are seven of us: five intermediate magic apprentices and two advanced magic apprentices."
Ace stood aside, without objection.
The magician raised an eyebrow and filled in "Light Team" on the registration form, praising, "What a great team name! May the God of Light bless you."
Master Ram made a fortune by hiring seven magic apprentices with one hundred gold coins.
"Thank you." Shu Li took the task card handed to him by the magician.
Once they complete the task, they can collect their rewards with the task card.
The mice come out of their holes at night, so they have to wait until dark before they can go to the rich businessman's house to complete their tasks.
So, the question is, where should they stay today?
Hotel?
"Stay here!" Ace said, "Henry said the Magic Association has rooms for magicians to stay in. It's 10 silver coins a day, which is cheaper than the hotels outside."
"Wow, what a deal!" Shu Li looked at Ace with even more admiration.
It turns out that having a human friend is so convenient. Everything is arranged perfectly and I don’t have to worry about anything. It’s so thoughtful and considerate!
Being stared at by the boy's bright eyes, Ace's lips curled up slightly, and there was a gentleness in his emerald green eyes.
