"Can't hold on any longer?"
The bald old man looked at him suspiciously: "Really? I guess you can still hold on!"
Haiwen glanced at the black-robed priest next to him, and then asked in his mind how Zuo Yu was doing now.
After receiving Zuo Yu's answer with a slight smile, Hai Wen was slightly startled and quickly ran out of the magic circle.
"You're wrong. I can't hold on any longer!"
Haiwen shook his head repeatedly, his face pale, as if he had really reached his limit.
The bald old man frowned, looked at him deeply, and then announced with a flushed face:
"My mental strength is ninety-eight times that of my peers!!"
“Undoubtedly superb!”
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the hall again, and many nobles began to discuss fiercely.
"extra fine?"
"I remember that thirty times is already super, right?"
"Ninety-eight times, isn't this the best of the best?!"
"What's that kid's name?"
"Haven Baruch?"
"What's his relationship with that Linley Baruch? Are they a family?"
"What a monster family..."
Everyone was talking about it, and the admissions officers from the major magic academies were excited.
Many magic academy recruiters even had the urge to rush over and snatch people away, regardless of the priests' warnings.
However, when they saw the middle-aged man in white robes beside Lin Lei, their inner impulse turned into disappointment and unwillingness.
“…Why not hold on to your limit?”
The middle-aged man in white robe asked excitedly and puzzledly.
Haiwen glanced at him and said calmly, "Will it be embarrassing if you insist on pushing it to the limit?"
The middle-aged man in white robe was slightly startled.
Hai Wen said calmly: "Isn't it right to recognize your own limits, give up before your limits are reached, and leave with dignity?"
The middle-aged man in the white robe stared at Haiwen in a daze, not knowing how to refute for a moment.
Haven glanced at the badge on his chest and asked thoughtfully, "Ernst College?"
"……yes."
The middle-aged man in white robe spoke subconsciously.
Haven nodded and said calmly, "Very good, my nephew and I both agree."
“Yes… yes!”
The middle-aged man in the white robe came back to his senses and took out two red letters from his arms with excitement.
Haven calmly took the two admission letters from Ernst School of Magic and handed them to Hillman, who looked dazed, without even glancing at them. He then turned to look at Linley, who was also calm, and said,
"Okay, the test is complete, it's time to go back and tell my cousin the good news."
"Yes, uncle."
…
…
As the number one magic academy in Magnolia Continent, Ernst Academy only recruits one hundred students in Magnolia Continent every year.
This year, two of the one hundred places were taken by the Baruch family, the lord of Wushan Town. This was a supreme honor for the Baruch family and even the entire Wushan Town.
Therefore, after receiving the admission letters from Haven and Linley, Hogg was stunned for a full half day before he barely came to his senses and accepted this incredible dream reality.
Then, that evening, a crazy laugh that was reminiscent of Hogg's was heard from the sect hall.
The next day, Hogg held a grand banquet and invited all the townspeople of Wushan Town, as well as the nearby lords and nobles to attend.
Since then, Wushan Town has entered a carnival atmosphere that lasted for half a month.
Lin Lei was naturally very happy about this situation, because he felt that his father could finally be proud of him.
But Haven really disliked this kind of occasion. He only showed up on the first day of the banquet, and then began to practice magic in seclusion.
Now, he is already a third-level fire magician. The most difficult stage of self-exploration has passed. Next, he can practice step by step according to the contents of the book on fire magic practice.
Therefore, in the few months before Ernst College opened, Haven grew rapidly from a third-level fire magician to a sixth-level fire magician at an incredible speed.
At the same time, the dragon blood fighting spirit in his body is also steadily improving, and now it is at least at the level of a seventh-level warrior.
As for the overall combat capability, according to Zuo Yu's assessment, it can probably be compared with an ordinary warrior who has just entered the ninth level.
At this time, Haiwen was only nine years old, and had only been exposed to fighting spirit for three years and magic for only one year.
Such a terrifying talent shocked not only the ignorant Hogg and Linley, but even the Sanctuary Magician Dohring Cowart, who was once the top powerhouse in the Magnolia Continent.
Of course, Haven did not reveal his true strength to his family.
Through the fluctuations of the elements of heaven and earth, Doehring Cowart vaguely sensed that Haven's magic level was far from being as simple as it seemed on the surface.
Under such circumstances, time finally came to February of the 9991st year of the Magnolia Calendar.
At this time, many trees on Wushan Mountain have sprouted new buds, and a hint of spring has quietly arrived.
On the streets outside Wushan Town, countless townspeople gathered here, and under the leadership of Lord Hogg Baruch, they bid farewell to Haven and Linley, the two hopes of Wushan Town.
The Ernst School of Magic starts on February 9th in early spring every year.
But almost all the students admitted to Ernst College will arrive at the college a few days in advance.
This is because Ernst College has extremely high requirements for the talents of its students. Before the start of each school year, new students are arranged to take a second test to avoid impersonation.
As Haven and Linley had made a big splash at the magic talent test, they were naturally the focus of the academy's attention.
Neither the college's admissions staff nor the college's teachers and professors would allow these two good talents to be snatched away by others halfway.
Ernst College is located in the mountainous area more than 20 miles south of the royal capital, Fenlai City.
The entire academy was funded and built by the Holy See of Light, which is extremely wealthy and covers a vast area of nearly ten miles in radius.
There are few people outside the college, it is just an empty mountainous area, but inside it is extremely well-equipped with restaurants, shops, bars and other service places.
There are even some entertainment venues similar to nightclubs.
This is because learning magic is a very long process, and Ernst Academy has extremely high requirements for its students. All students must reach at least the level of a sixth-level magician before they can graduate.
Under such circumstances, many students will naturally stay in the academy for ten or even dozens of years.
Those service places for adults are specially opened by the college for these old students who have failed a grade.
Of course, this difficulty in graduating is not a problem for Haiwen.
After all, he is already a sixth-level fire magician now, and he can graduate at any time if he wants.
Arriving at the main gate of Ernst College, Haven looked toward the square inside the gate and saw a row of college staff sitting by the road, constantly checking the admission letters and identity documents of the new students.
“Is this the enrollment process?”
Linley looked at them with great interest and said, “Uncle, let’s go over there too!”
Haven nodded and walked over with Linley.
After completing the enrollment procedures and taking a second test, Haven and Linley each received their student ID and dormitory key, then walked out of the building.
At the same time, a young man named Renault came out with them.
This kid’s dormitory key was exactly the same as Lin Lei’s, so he should be Lin Lei’s roommate for the next few days, which was why Haven allowed him to walk side by side with him.
Looking at the calm Haiwen beside him, Renault couldn’t help but whisper in Linley’s ear, “Is your uncle always like this?”
Linley thought about it and nodded helplessly, “Yes, my uncle has always been very cold to outsiders. He is only a little nicer when he is at home.”
"Really... maybe this is genius!"
Renault sighed, then suddenly remembered something. He chuckled and whispered, “Lin Lei, you may not know this, but you two are very famous in the freshman circle this year!”
"Really? Why?"
Linley looked at Renault with some confusion.
Renault whispered, “Before your uncle showed up, the first day of Ernst College was this year’s freshman Dixie. This guy is known as the number one magic genius in a hundred years. Not only does he have super elemental affinity and dual-element superb, but his mental strength is a full sixty-eight times that of his peers!”
At this point, Renault said with emotion: "Sixty-eight times!"
"Generally speaking, mental strength over thirty times is considered super, and sixty-eight times is considered super among supers."
"I originally thought that this guy would become a psychological shadow for our generation, but I didn't expect your uncle to suddenly appear and directly suppress Dixie."
As he spoke, Renault chuckled and said, "His affinity for all four elements is superb, and his mental strength is ninety-eight times that of his peers. This kind of talent is hard to come by in a thousand years, let alone a hundred years!"
"In front of your uncle, that highly praised Dixie is nothing!"
Hearing the gloating tone in Renault’s voice, Linley was speechless.
"Do you have a grudge against that Dixie?"
"No hatred, I just can't stand him!"
Renault curled his lips, glanced at Haven's back and said, "Let's put it this way, your uncle is just cold-tempered. When I say hello to him, he will at least nod at me, but that Dixie is not only cold, but also arrogant."
"That arrogant look makes me angry just thinking about it!"
"Besides, it doesn't matter who you are. With your relationship, I would definitely prefer to see your uncle become the number one genius in the academy!"
Renault held Linley’s arm affectionately, and it was obvious that he had already considered Linley one of his own because they shared a dormitory.
Linley smiled and chatted with him for a few words, then he seemed to suddenly remember something and quickly called out to Haiwen.
"By the way, uncle, which dormitory are you in?"
Haiwen stopped, looked down, and said calmly: "10001."
"……?"
Linley and Raynor were both stunned.
They looked down at the dormitory key with '1987' printed on it, then looked up and said blankly, "Um, uncle, aren't the dormitories at Ernst College only in four digits?"
Hai Wen said casually: "It's only four digits, but I applied for a single dormitory from the school, and the school agreed."
