The carriage unknowingly drove into the bustling commercial district, passing various restaurants, cafes, bars and specialty shops. The spacious streets were increasingly filled with the atmosphere of life with people coming and going.
From ancient classics such as Ikerita Central Station and St. Brian's Cathedral to modern magical glass curtain wall buildings such as Hutton Walk and Erica's Tower, the diverse and harmonious coexistence of architectural styles adds a lot to Ikerita's skyline.
It was approaching afternoon.
The sightseeing carriage arrived near the college.
The legendary Ikerita School of Magic is located in the heart of the royal capital.
The academy does not have walls, but this area and all the buildings within it are called Ikerit Academy of Magic.
Lanqi carried the suitcase and walked into the campus with Talia.
After taking a few steps, Lanqi seemed to be greeted by the sound of a melodious bell.
That was the sound of the bell coming from the iconic red brick clock tower. It rang only three times and then stopped abruptly, indicating that it was three o'clock in the afternoon.
The bell tower stands in the middle of a vast lawn, surrounded by green trees. The sunlight shines through the dense leaves and falls on the green grass, creating colorful light and shadows.
He and Talia followed the map on the sign and walked through various buildings.
There is the Gothic-style Sages' Court Ancient Tower Library, whose outer walls are inlaid with exquisite reliefs, and who knows how many mysterious books are collected inside.
There is also the Victorian-style Knights Court Arena, with pointed arch window panes full of classical charm.
There are also quite novel alchemical biology laboratories and magic engineering research institutes. The walls made of magic screens reflect the blue sky and the shadows of the surrounding green trees.
After more than ten minutes of walking.
Lanqi arrived at his destination.
A huge building with smooth lines and unique appearance, the "Learning and Education Building" shared by the House of Knights and the House of Sages.
Lanqi and Talia came to the second floor, the student service center.
With the friendly help of the staff, Lanqi quickly completed the modification of the examination information and changed the school he applied for from the Alchemy Academy to the Sage Academy.
Next, to complete the registration for the Sage Academy entrance examination, he also needs to go to the third floor of the building to complete the attribute test.
He was carrying a small suitcase in his left hand.
In the right hand, I hold the application form and personal information.
Lanqi wandered around and found the basic attribute measurement room on the third floor.
Many magical measuring instruments were neatly placed in the spacious office, which felt more like a radiology clinic than a magic academy.
Students who want to apply for the Knight Academy and the Sage Academy usually complete the required attribute tests early when they apply for the exam. However, Lanqi transferred to the exam midway, so the time was staggered. Two days before the exam, he could not meet other students in line.
The teacher sitting behind the desk quickly cast his gaze towards the two visitors.
"I didn't expect there would be such a talented freshman this year... It looks like the Sage Academy has found a treasure."
The teacher in charge of attribute testing in the office gave people a very gentle feeling. The first time she saw Talia, she showed a happy and kind smile on her face.
She couldn't help but marvel at Talia's calm, restrained, and unfathomable magic.
"It's not me who's taking the test, it's him who's taking the test."
Talia said calmly.
"Um?"
So the guy carrying the suitcase is the young master
Behind the desk, the teacher with "Teresa" engraved on her nameplate quickly looked at Lanqi.
"That's right."
Seeing that the teacher finally turned his surprised gaze to him, Lanqi smiled awkwardly.
Talia is used to wandering and doesn't have any luggage.
He was carrying a box and a report and standing next to Talia, who looked like a human girl. Coupled with Talia's cold aura, it really was like "The Young Lady and Me".
“Ahem.”
Teacher Theresa coughed twice and was quite embarrassed.
The reason for her misunderstanding was not just a visual error. As mages, they would trust their perception and judgment of magic more than their eyes.
However, the pitiful fluctuations of magic power in Lanqi made her see little hope that Lanqi would become an excellent magic professional.
Even without using professional instruments to test, she, as an experienced teacher, could feel that Lanqi's magic attribute was very weak, but his mental strength seemed to be strong enough.
Maybe he would be more suitable to be a priest
After all, many of the priests' auxiliary spells are not linked to the strength of magic power, but to the strength of spirit.
But if he wants to become a clergyman, the equally famous Holy Academy of Teaching or the Sacred Crafts Academy in the southern continent would be more suitable for his talent than the Ikerite School of Magic.
However, since the other party has come, she certainly cannot say anything to discourage the student.
Her job at the moment is to help Lanqi complete the attribute test.
If the test results meet the requirements after comprehensive calculation, then the formal examination procedures will be carried out for him.
Soon, they conducted and completed the test.
Apart from having extremely high spiritual growth and relatively good physical growth, Lanqi has no talent for magic and strength.
Although the spiritual attribute does not have as much weight as the magical attribute in the Sage Academy's evaluation of magic professions, due to Lanqi's extremely high spiritual attribute, the weighted calculation still exceeds the passing line by a lot.
So Theresa started the process of preparing him for the follow-up assessment.
Lanqi passed the time by looking at the results of his attribute test, waiting for Teacher Theresa to finish processing it.
In the world's simplest "four-dimensional test method" -
The magic attribute affects the damage, healing amount, and bonus effects of most spells.
The strength attribute is directly linked to physical attack power.
And spirit affects mana limit and magic resistance.
Physical strength is a combination of vitality, endurance, and physical defense.
"Student, what is your occupation?"
Theresa entered Lanqi's specific test results on a tablet-like magic instrument. However, when she came to the "Function" column, she raised her head, looked at Lanqi and asked a question.
Lanqi has outstanding survivability, but no means of output.
According to her guess, Lanqi should not be a very offensive profession, but should be more supportive and logistical.
Although Talia didn't say anything, she paid a little attention to Lanqi's upcoming answer.
Because she really didn't know the answer.
It is also unclear how Lanci will respond.
Crazy warlock? Cult priest? Neither seems to fit.
Anyway, she couldn't think of an appropriate word to describe the system composed of the cards that Lanqi now had.
"Apparently, I'm a white mage."
Lanci said with a warm smile.
Talia, who was standing next to her, heard this and her eyes twitched unconsciously.
This guy is really brave!
If she had not traveled in the human kingdom for so many years, she would have first suspected that there was something wrong with her understanding of the language rather than suspecting that there was something wrong with Lanqi.
The most outrageous thing is that Talia didn't even determine that Lanqi was lying.
He really thought he was a white magician.
Upon hearing this, Teacher Theresa nodded as if she understood.
"I see... I am also a healing mage. If you can enroll in the Sage's Academy, you may see me again in class in the future."
Such a sunny and cheerful boy really looks like a healer with a kind heart.
Teacher Theresa smiled and handed the admission bracelet with the information already recorded on it to Lanqi.
Although his healing and auxiliary effects may be low, his mental attributes are linked to his magic power, and he can use spells continuously, so his endurance should be sufficient.
The most important thing is that compared to other professions, a healing profession needs to have a gentle and kind heart.
"The official exam will be in two days. You can use this bracelet to go to the seventh floor to participate in the actual combat simulation. Although the exam will be difficult, may the goddess of fate bless you and wish you good luck in the exam."
Teacher Theresa, who was sitting behind the long table, supported her chin with one hand, with a smile on her face, and added another sentence.
She believes that all gentle people will be treated gently.
Even though there is little hope that this young man can stand out and pass the test.
"OK, thanks."
Lanci nodded.
Then, he and Talia, who looked confused, left the building together.
