"I just gave you a chance to choose. Your promotion depends on your own efforts." Lin En took out a wizard medal and put it on Pierce's chest. "From today on, you are an official wizard!"
"Thank you, Dean..." Pierce's voice trembled slightly.
Lynn waved his hand, indicating that Pierce could go back and call the next apprentice over.
Pierce bowed again and then left the Screaming Tower. About three minutes later, Johnny pushed the door open and walked in. The two smiled at each other, and Lin pointed to the seat in front of him. "Stay here for a few minutes before leaving, lest they find out something is wrong..."
The girl nodded. In fact, during this period of time, Alok and the others had already suspected her many times. After all, they always had to use magic, but every time she used the alchemical creation [Magic Hand] to evade them.
Now I don’t have to hide secretly anymore.
And these ten minutes were not wasted. Johnny took the test paper and asked Lin En for help on the last few wrong questions...
In the next few hours, Lin En distributed wizard medals to every student who successfully advanced in the Howling Tower, or comforted those who failed, telling them to keep working hard and there might be another chance next year.
Perhaps because of the torture of solving a large number of questions and the improvement of computing power, this year's promotion rate is higher than in the past, reaching about 60%.
This means that there will be forty or fifty new official wizards this year.
Lin En pondered over the paper in his hand, which recorded the information of each student, and was ready to assign their positions one by one according to their grades.
Those who have poor theoretical performance but are proficient in practical combat will serve as combat wizards and participate in the subsequent war with the empire. On the contrary, they will be scientific researchers and participate in the development of new weapons and new magic.
While he was thinking, the door was pushed open again, and this time it was Lydia who came in.
As soon as the halfling girl entered the room, she pried on the long table and asked impatiently, "Dean Lin, can I become a wizard too?"
Lin En came back to his senses and asked, "That depends on what kind of wizard you want to be."
"Of course it's a wizard who can cast magic!" Lydia said without hesitation, and then looked at the dean expectantly, her eyes shining.
“If it’s just casting magic, it’s not that difficult.” Lynn said with a smile.
"Really? I can also use magic?" Lydia shouted in surprise. Although Johnny had mentioned it to her before, it was just a guess after all. Now it was confirmed by the dean himself.
"Take this on first!" Lin En handed over a specially made bracelet. Like the [Ring of Mystic Magic], it was used to communicate in the field of magic, but the style was modified for the sake of distinction.
Lydia couldn't wait to put it on her hand and said anxiously, "So now I can cast magic?"
"Of course not!" Lin En shook his head in amusement. "Just close your eyes and relax!"
Lydia immediately did as she was told and closed her eyes tightly, but she couldn't relax at all.
Lin En secretly called for the intelligent computer to connect to the brain of the half-orc girl. With the example of Redel and Lydia's high trust in him, this time it went very smoothly. The half-orc girl did not suffer too much pain and completed the connection with the magic realm.
[Elementary Material Deconstruction], [Water Condensation], [Mage's Hand], [Fireball], [Ice Blade]...
A total of five spell slots appeared in Lydia's mind, and at the same time, Lynn's voice rang in her ears.
"Now you can try your hand at magic!"
Lydia opened her eyes, stretched out her hand nervously, and activated the spell in her mind. Under the surge of elements, a crystal clear ice blade appeared, emitting a biting cold breath, which instantly dropped the temperature around her body.
"It's really magic!" Lydia shouted happily, and then tried the fireball technique. The power of ice and fire kept flowing in her palms, and she had a lot of fun.
Although these are only basic spells, for the halfling girl who has never been able to master magic, she is already very satisfied.
"Dean, you are so great!" Lydia excitedly rushed to Lin En and kissed him hard on the face several times, venting her excitement.
Lin En wiped the saliva off his face in disgust and reminded him, "Remember, your mental power is limited, so you can only cast zero-ring magic five times and one-ring magic three times a day."
Lydia nodded quickly. She didn't care about the restrictions. At least she was a real wizard now! She wanted to see who dared to say that they were not a wizard...
Lydia couldn't wait to go out and show off, but was stopped by Lin En before leaving.
"Don't you want your wizard medal anymore?" Lin En asked helplessly.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Lydia ran back in a hurry, waited patiently for the dean to put the medal on her, and then ran out happily.
Seeing Lydia's irritable look, Lin En couldn't help but smile, and then he began to investigate the problem of magic power loss in the intelligent computer.
Allowing a person who originally doesn't know magic to successfully cast a spell is naturally not without cost, and magic power does not emerge out of thin air, it can only be drawn from his magic field.
This is Lin En's second attempt to break the theory of magical talent. Now it seems to be successful, but there are still many problems that need to be solved.
For example, the supply of magic power. The lost magic power must not be borne entirely by the intelligent brain. It would be better to build a magic reactor like building an electric grid, so as to use a huge magic network to supply the spellcasting requirements of these new-school wizards.
According to his idea, in the magic kingdom of the future, no matter whether one has the talent to become a wizard or not, as long as one has learned and mastered the principles of magic and has enough computing power, one will be able to use the magic network to perform corresponding magic!
Instead of being like it is now, where birth determines whether a commoner can become a wizard.
A world where everyone can become a spellcaster might be able to surpass the Federation of the previous life and push the science of magic to a whole new level.
