From time to time, someone would walk out of the tower in joy, receiving envious and jealous gazes from the crowd. However, there were also many people who failed, and they could only retreat aside dejectedly.

Darren and the others watched Lydia walk into the tower, waiting anxiously, and within two minutes they saw the door of the tower open again.

So fast? Darren's heart was beating fast. Those students who had successfully advanced to the next level had said clearly that it takes time for the potion to transform the body. Some people take a long time, but generally it takes about ten minutes...

Could it be that she failed in her promotion? Darren was thinking about this, but the next moment he rejected this guess, because Lydia, who walked out of the tower, had a shining wizard medal hanging on her chest, which looked extremely dazzling under the sunlight.

Everyone's eyes were drawn to her. This meant that Yieta, no, the entire Wizarding Land would have its first Halfling wizard! "Congratulations, Lydia, you are the first Halfling wizard!" Johnny congratulated happily.

Alok and others who were familiar with the girl also came forward to congratulate her and were sincerely happy for her.

Lydia puffed out her chest proudly under the gaze of everyone. From today on, she was an official wizard.

"I didn't expect that the dean would actually allow someone who doesn't know magic to become a wizard!" Debra said jealously.

Those apprentices who took the potion but failed to complete the promotion looked at the halfling girl with a bit more dissatisfaction.

Like Lydia, they all passed both the competition and practical assessments, but the dean did not give them the status of wizards. Instead, he gave this honor to a halfling who couldn't even use magic. This made them resent Dean Lin's favoritism.

"Who said I can't use magic?" Lydia proudly stretched out her hand, concentrating and preparing to cast the fireball spell to open everyone's eyes.

The apprentices and wizards present all looked over with curiosity, for they knew that Lydia had spent two full years at Iyeta Academy without being able to learn magic.

Lydia concentrated on communicating with the magic field and tried to activate the spell slots in her mind, but after a long time, there was no movement.

"Hey, why can't I use it?" Lydia opened her eyes and said blankly.

"Could it be that you've gone crazy trying to use magic, so you're having hallucinations?" Debra sneered.

Lydia curled her lips, and suddenly remembered that the dean said that with her computing power, she could only use one-ring magic three times a day. She was too excited in the Screaming Tower just now, and it seemed that she had used up all the magic!

Then she could only switch to zero-ring magic... She remembered that she hadn't used it up yet.

Lydia's mind moved, and she immediately activated the [Hand of the Mage]. The test papers in everyone's hands trembled violently, then flew up, circled around her, and then piled up in her hands.

"This, this is the [Mage's Hand]."

The person who cast the spell was Lydia! "You really learned magic, Lydia!" Darren excitedly put his hands on Lydia's shoulders and shook them back and forth.

Although this is only the most basic zero-ring spell, it also means that the other party has mastered the miracle called magic!

"Of course! I also know [Fireball] and [Ice Blade], but I've just used them several times. Now I have to wait until tomorrow to use them again..." Lydia said proudly, but at the same time she felt a little annoyed. If she had known earlier, she would have saved a first-level spell slot and used it for everyone to see.

However, given that Lydia successfully performed magic, no one questioned her words. After all, everyone's magic power and mental power are limited. Even a formal wizard may face the dilemma of running out of magic power after performing a few powerful spells.

In other words, the halfling girl in front of him really became a wizard! But how did the dean do it? It was a consensus in this wizarding land that halflings had no magical talent, and it had never been broken before. Could it be that Lydia was a special case, and after taking the source of magic power, she broke the shackles of her race and gained the ability to cast spells?

The dean may have seen her wizard talent and was willing to let Lydia enter Yieta College...

Elrok and the others were confused, but they did not think in an extreme direction. After all, if the dean really had a way to make anyone a formal wizard, it would be too amazing, hundreds of times more outrageous than the speculation that halflings have magical talents! ...

Iyeta's graduation exam lasted for four full days. After bidding farewell to their apprenticeship, Alok and others were soon assigned to various institutions.

However, people are needed in all aspects now, especially wizards who have mastered a certain level of physical skills, from the optimization of internal combustion engines, the construction of ironclad ships, to the improvement of muskets and artillery. The 47 wizards who graduated this time can only be said to be a drop in the bucket.

During these few days, Redel and Ham were not idle either. They learned about every aspect of this wizard city and even went to various workshops to experience it in person.

These jobs are indeed very tiring, working fourteen hours a day non-stop, but the compensation received every month is enough to make everyone forget the physical pain. Everyone cherishes the present life and works hard day and night, and almost does not even need supervision.

Because the wizards who supervised this place told them that most of the things produced in the workshop were prepared for war and would largely determine the success or failure of this war.

And once the Parliament was defeated and the Empire occupied this place, they would have to return to their previous life of having no idea where they would get their next meal, or maybe even worse.

I heard that the nobles and the church outside the wizard land were very cruel and would not hesitate to massacre the entire city, rob their property, kill everyone who did not believe in God, or sell them as slaves to the wild land.

Therefore, the workers spontaneously worked overtime and burst out with great enthusiasm, just to keep their current lives...

After staying in the workshop for five days, Redel reluctantly went to the grain-producing land opened up by the wizards at Lin En's invitation, because today was the summer harvest!

What appeared before Redel's eyes was an exceptionally spectacular scene. The golden wheat fields stretched as far as the eye could see, all the way to the horizon, as magnificent as a golden ocean. (End of this chapter)
