Episode 2: Growing Up Chapter 9: The Magic Test (below)

“Remember to hold on when testing your mental strength, and try to hold on as long as you can.”

Drinkwater steeped up in seriousness, “I don’t know much about wind magic, you really need to go to a magic academy to learn it. With such a strong elemental affinity, it’s really a shame that you don’t learn wind magic.”

Linley understood in his heart.

“Please go to the magic formation.”

That bald old man also used a rare ‘please’ to Linley.

Even many of the surrounding nobles looked at Linley differently. Superior elemental affinity meant that one could spend a short amount of time refining magical power, and the rest of the time could be spent exercising one’s spiritual power. Future achievements were unlimited.

Linley stepped into the middle of that magic formation.

Only the warm white light of the magic array lit up, and then a wave of oppression acted directly on his soul.

Light system magic – deterrence.

“How weak, compared to half a year ago, that black dragon’s ‘Dragon Might’, it’s more than a notch worse.”

Linley still had the leisure to think of something else.

As time passed, that magical array glowed brighter and brighter, and the same level of intimidation grew stronger and stronger, and the entire church hall held its breath as everyone who saw this scene was clear. That teenager dressed in ordinary clothes was definitely a powerful magician in the future.

“Who knows that teenager? Which family?”

The nobles below all conferred in low voices.

Such a promising teenager, if he befriended him earlier, he might have a powerful friend in the future.

“His name is Linley?”

Some of the enrollment officers knew Linley’s identity from the testers next to them.

And this group of enrollment personnel from the major magic academies who had been sitting there talking and laughing also ran over at this time and crowded around. All the major magic academies, who didn’t want to enroll some talented people?

In the magic formation, Linley resisted the intimidation alone.

Linley was breathing heavily, his entire head had a sense of vertigo at this time, that powerful oppression was like a mountain pressing down on his body, and it was still rising, but Linley was still holding on – “The longer I hold on, the better academies I might be able to enter. ”

Linley gritted his teeth and held on.

Then when this oppression reached a height, Linley couldn’t resist any longer, and his entire body roared down on one knee, hands propped up.

Everyone looked their gazes at the bald old man.

The bald old man said aloud with a red face, ”Spiritual power, eighteen times that of a person of the same age, superior. Spiritual strength superior, elemental affinity superlative.”

At this time there were immediately a few magic academy recruiters rushing in, “Hello Linley, I’m from the Rand Magic Academy, our Rand Academy cordially invites you to enter our academy, as long as you join, tuition will be completely free of charge, there’s also a thousand gold coins in scholarships every year, and we’ll also ask a senior magician to come and teach you.”

“Linley, I’m from Weylin Magic Academy, we ……”……

Seeing a group of people around him being so enthusiastic about themselves, Linley froze for a while while his heart marveled at the same time. In just a short while, these magic academy recruiters actually knew his name, it was too strong.

“Cough, gentlemen, go to your own seats there first, we have to continue the test.”

The bald old man said mildly.

For ordinary people he could be condescending, for people from the major magic academies he was still polite.

“Linley, we, the Ernst Academy, cordially invite you to become a member of our academy.”

Only a voice rang out in the distance, and as this voice rang out, the entire hall fell silent. Even the bald old man stopped speaking.

Linley turned his head to look.

Only to see a white-robed middle-aged man walk over and say with a smile, “Elemental affinity superlative, mental strength superior, and a dual-system superlative. Linley, you are very welcome at our Ernst Academy, I wonder if you would like to join our Ernst Academy?”

Next to him, Hillman also froze for a while, and at this time immediately ran to Linley’s side, and at this moment, Hillman’s excited hands were slightly trembling.

Ernst College?

Entering the entire Yulan continent’s number one magic academy, the ‘Ernst Academy’, what did that represent?

It represented that once one graduated from the academy, even an ordinary member of the Ernst Academy could easily become a count in a kingdom. Outstanding students, even the four great empires would solemnly invite them.

Moreover, in the vast Yulan Continent, the Ernst Academy only enrolls a hundred people a year!

One hundred people a year, what kind of probability is that?

All the cadets who entered the Ernst Academy could be called geniuses!

“Linley, promise him.”

Hillman was so excited at this time.

Linley was thrilled in his heart, but his head was incomparably clear and he appeared calm on the surface. Linley knew very well that he had become a member of the Ernst Academy, coupled with the teachings of Delinquent Corvette. Spending several decades, becoming a level 7 or 8 magician was not a problem.

His own family, already, could rise again.

“Sir, I am proud to be a member of the Ernst Academy.”

Linley said with courtesy and respect.

The white-robed middle-aged man marveled at Linley’s calmness, and still smiled as he said, “Linley, I will report all of your identity information to the academy, and when the time comes, you will only need to bring your proof of identity, and after entering the academy and taking another test, you will be able to officially become a member of the academy.”

Impersonation was useless, as one still had to be tested again when they went to the academy.

“The academy is divided into two semesters a year, and the start of the school year begins on February 9th at the beginning of the year. You only need to arrive at the academy before February 9th, this is a proof, a proof of acceptance of sorts.”

The white-robed middle-aged man took out a red letter from his bosom.

In fact, the white-robed middle-aged man had filled in Linley’s name on the acceptance letter after he knew the results of Linley’s test. It was because the white-robed middle-aged man firmly believed – no one would refuse an invitation from the Ernst Academy!

“Thank you.”

Linley received this red letter.

Linley didn’t have much excitement on the surface, but Hillman was thrilled at the moment, which of the trainees of the Ernst Academy weren’t esteemed? In the future, Linley’s achievements could already be expected.

“Uncle Hillman, let’s go.”

Linley placed the red letter in his arms, and then walked with Hillman towards the outside of the hall.

The hall that was packed with people, at this moment, both the nobles and commoners of the royal capital very consciously made a path out. Even the nobles who had originally looked down on country bumpkins like Linley now had friendly smiles on their faces, and their attitudes were incredibly good.

A student of the Ernst Academy, a symbol of status!

Under the gaze of a group of nobles, commoners, and even clerical personnel, Linley and Hillman walked out of the clerical hall.

“Squeak!”

Immediately after walking out of the ecclesiastical hall, the little shadow mouse called out, it could sense the excitement in Linley’s heart.

It was only at this time that Linley revealed the excitement in his heart, his fists violently clenched with force, a hint of excitement swept across the bottom of his eyes as he looked to the side and quickly said to Hillman, “Uncle Hillman, let’s go back, let’s go back now! Back to Wushan Town, I’m going to tell this news to my father!”
