Brilliant Academy is located on the outskirts of the royal city, right near the third wizard tower.
On the first day of the wizard academy, Ash, accompanied by Ivan and Yelena, left the wizard tower for the first time in these days. When he walked out of the door of the mission hall, he saw three huge black shadows towering into the sky in different directions.
That is the Throne Wizard Tower of the Brilliant Royal City, and the First Wizard Tower and the Second Wizard Tower below it.
As Yelena said, the Throne Wizard Tower is located in the center of the royal city, and the first, second, and third wizard towers form a tripod to guard it.
It was now one week before the polar night in the royal city. The duration of daylight was extremely short, and most of the time was occupied by darkness.
Therefore, even though it was already eight o'clock in the morning, the sky outside was still dark, with a brilliant river of stars running through it, making the street lights on both sides of the street seem unnecessary.
Because the Third Wizard Tower was very close to the Wizard Academy, Ivan and his companions did not use a vehicle to travel. Instead, the three of them walked together, under the moonlight and starlight, through the crystal city, heading towards the academy.
The reason is that if you take Ash to find his way, you won't have to worry about him getting lost in the future.
Ash walked between Ivan and Yelena. Although he was very tall, his young and handsome face still made him look like the younger brother of the two.
He was wearing a brand new wizard robe, a gift from Nance. It was dark in color, with silver lines outlining the pattern of stars, mysterious, beautiful and practical. In addition to the two enchantment effects of "cleaning" and "keeping warm", it also had the enchantment effect of immunity to defense below the second ring magic.
Of course, in addition to the wizard robe, Ash also received other gifts, such as magic books and notes from Ivan and Yelena, and a set of simple potion-making tools from Suya, which was very much to Ash's liking.
Brent, who was far away in the territory of the Seventh Wizard Tower, mailed a lot of local fruits and vegetables. The alchemical life Selvi also thoughtfully sent him a detailed three-dimensional map of the Wizard Tower. Even Fell of the Red Throne, who had met in Duogu Village, asked Yelena to pass on a set of tickets to attractions in the Red Throne territory and food substitute coupons.
"He must be trying to lure you over to the Red Throne. He likes to have fun playing tricks on people when he's bored!" Yelena handed over the ticket list reluctantly and warned Ash seriously, "Don't be fooled by him! You are not allowed to go over there, understand?"
Ash took the ticket and nodded seriously.
He put all of these into the space bracelet that Sigourney gave him. While putting them away, he was thinking vaguely that he had already met so many people in Iluf in such a short time.
If Uncle Derek and the others knew that he had these friends around him now, they would probably feel a little more at ease, right?
Ash and the other two walked lightly. The closer they got to the academy, the more they saw young wizards like them walking in the same direction.
From ten-year-old children to young people in their twenties, they are full of vitality.
When they saw the bustling crowd, they were already very close to the college. From a distance, Ash saw two huge murals on both sides of the tall school gate. The murals depicted the night sky and stars. If you look closely, you can find that the stars in the murals are slowly moving in a strange pattern.
Ash looked at the mural and subconsciously read the words he saw on it.
On the mural on the left: "Wizard Academy".
On the mural on the right: "Brilliant".
It is composed of flowing stars, words that are constantly changing.
Yelena heard his voice and stopped in her tracks. She couldn't believe it. "Ash, did you recognize the name hidden in the mural at a glance?"
Ash nodded, is there something wrong?
Yelena turned her head silently and refused to answer.
"The murals in the academy were painted by the first throne of the Radiant Throne. They contain that master's understanding of the laws of the stars. Only wizards with deep understanding or great talent in this area can see the hidden names in them. If ordinary wizards look directly at them, they will only feel dizzy and suffer. It seems that you, Ash, are very talented."
Ivan laughed and exposed Yelena's shortcomings: "She heard that the name of the academy was hidden in two murals of the academy, and it was difficult for ordinary wizards to see it. So she thought she was special and ran over excitedly to stare at it."
Yelena was anxious and tried to cover Ivan's mouth, but her brother suppressed her and continued to ruthlessly expose her dark history.
"As a result, she stared at it for three minutes straight, but still couldn't figure out what it was. The reason why it was three minutes instead of longer is not that she recognized it after three minutes. It's that after three minutes, she succeeded in looking at the mural and felt dizzy, chest tightness, nausea, and was forced to give up."
The situation was hopeless. Yelena gave up resistance with a look of dejection, and dug up the shadow of her childhood in self-abandonment: "Yes, yes, even the first time I walked into the gate of the wizard academy, it was you who carried me in, Ivan - how long are you going to talk about this! Aren't you tired of it!"
Ivan's smile got wider, with a hint of nostalgia: "How can I get tired of it? It's not bad to talk about it when we are all old."
Yelena snorted, turned her head, and couldn't help but curled up the corners of her lips.
Ash suddenly missed Aubrey's bluff fists and the sweet little treats Shanna made.
——So I have to work harder! Behind the word "protection", there must be the word "strong". It's not easy to get into the academy, I must seize this opportunity!
As you approach the gate of the academy, you will be more directly faced with two murals of the starry sky, and you will once again be dazzled by the depth, vastness, brilliance and tranquility they display.
No vehicles or other vehicles are allowed to park in this area. There are only little wizards and their guardians who are registering for school.
Most of them may have been warned in advance and consciously avoided the two murals. But some boys and girls, like Yelena back then, thought they were special and stared straight at the murals... After a while, they fell weakly on the shoulders of their companions, their little faces flushed, hiding on their companions' backs and not wanting to see anyone.
Yelena looked at them and laughed with glee.
Ivan looked at Yelena helplessly and shrugged at Ash. He really didn't know how Yelena had the nerve to laugh at others.
They walked straight into the academy gate - only on the first day of school could they enter without a certificate. It was extremely difficult to enter or leave during school hours.
Entering the academy, the first thing that comes into view is the clean and spacious square and the continuous and majestic buildings. The architectural style of the Brilliant Academy is consistent with that of the Royal City, as if it were carved out of ice and snow, and everything in sight is crystal clear and flawless.
Ash has learned over the past few days that the buildings in the royal city are not made of pure natural ice crystals, but are made with specific alchemical products added to make the ice crystals as hard as metal. While maintaining a crystal appearance, they also have strong concealment and there is no need to worry about outside prying eyes.
Tall pine trees with a cool fragrance were planted on the square and the roadside, and at a lower height, shrubs were also growing luxuriantly in the snow. The leaves of the shrubs were very light in color, light green, light red, light yellow... dotted in the pure white world of ice sculptures, it was particularly beautiful.
Ivan led Ash to the nearest tall building with familiarity.
"You have to test your talent here first," Ivan said.
Although talented wizards can enter the academy to study, the Brilliant Academy cannot accommodate all the wizards in the entire territory. Therefore, some young wizards with less talent will inevitably be screened out. These young wizards can only go to the "private schools" in the territory that are founded by individual wizards and approved by the Wizard Association to study, and the resources there are completely inferior to those here.
Ash saw the excited and chattering children gathered in front of the building. They were all about ten years old. He tilted his head and looked at Ivan and the others: "I can go to queue up for the test by myself. You still have to register for the Advanced Department, right? Don't delay."
Ivan and Yelena were a little overwhelmed looking at the group of ten-year-old kids, and they were particularly impressed by Ash who dared to stand behind the line without changing his expression. Thinking about it again, there would be no danger of any accidents in the queue for the test, so they nodded and agreed: "Okay. We will finish the formalities quickly and meet here later."
The three of them separated here, and Ash calmly stood behind the little carrot heads.
Such a traitor suddenly appeared in the team waiting for the test.
His height is almost twice as tall as everyone else!
Angel and his friends have been keeping a close eye on Ash.
"who is he?"
"Why is he walking with Miss Yelena?"
"Wow! Miss Yelena treats him so well!"
“And he smiled at him (▼へ▼メ)”
"Yes, is it your boyfriend?"
"Him? Miss Yelena's boyfriend?!"
"How could it be! Miss Yelena never walks with other men except Brother Ivan!"
"But now she's with this guy..."
"Then... could it be true..."
"Wow - I'm heartbroken wuwuwuqaq"
"Why are you crying! Wuwu-hiccup--if you are a man, wuwu, you must snatch Miss Yelena away! That skinny guy will fall down at the slightest breeze, wuwu...what's so good about him! He can't bring happiness to Miss Yelena at all!"
"Hey—you!"
Ash saw a child who was not even as tall as his waist standing out from the team in front of him. With red eyes, he put one hand on his waist and pointed at him, sobbing and threatening: "I want to challenge you! The loser will automatically give up, hiccup, Miss Yelena!"
Ash: “…” Huh?
