Chapter 13 Welcome to the Silver Magic Academy
Chapter 13 Welcome to the Silver Magic Academy
The boys instinctively grabbed the people next to them, their eyes wide with excitement.
Lorne and Viola stood beside the giant boy Thormont, their sharp winds blocked by his towering frame.
Lynn looked down at the land receding into the distance, where rivers flowed like silver ribbons and mountains rose like mounds.
They roamed between heaven and earth, not on flying boats or starships, but on an entire plaza!
The place where they had previously conducted the entrance exams was actually a magical artifact that had been refined using alchemy!
My heart is pounding!
This experience of ascending into the air through magical power was completely different from anything he had ever experienced before, and it was filled with the awe-inspiring power unique to magical civilization.
The flight lasted about fifteen minutes, passing through thick clouds.
As a huge shadow loomed over them, everyone instinctively looked up and then let out an uncontrollable gasp of amazement.
It was a ring-shaped city suspended above a sea of clouds!
The pristine white towers and domed buildings are distributed along a huge circular pattern, layer upon layer, arranged in a harmonious and orderly manner.
At the center of the ring is a vast sea of clouds. Sunlight shines through the center, casting a huge, sacred pillar of light under the effect of the Hendry effect. The edges of the entire city shimmer with complex runic barriers, like a barrier woven from stars, radiating ancient and powerful magical fluctuations.
This is a real sky city!
The enormous magic circle beneath their feet flew precisely towards a huge ferry crossing on the outer edge of the ring city, like birds returning to their nests. Finally, they landed with a slight tremor, blending into the plaza and the surrounding buildings, making it impossible to tell that they were flying devices.
"Welcome to the Silver Magic Academy."
Professor Sylvie turned around, stepping onto the long staircase made of vines, surrounded by greenery, her voice flowing into everyone's ears like a clear spring:
"From today onwards, you have officially stepped into the world of magic, and you will begin to learn about magic here."
"Within Silver Academy, personal freedom is not restricted. You have one day to handle accommodation, familiarize yourself with the campus, and learn about school rules and regulations."
"But before that, I want to make it clear to you that there are three forbidden areas in the academy that you are not allowed to enter:"
"The basement of the Grand Library, the dome of Clock Tower No. 3, and the westernmost cliff of the Whispering Forest in West Ring Road—violating these rules could result in anything from deducted credits to expulsion!"
What forbidden area of Hogwarts...?
Lorne elbowed Viola:
"Don't we have an opening ceremony or anything?"
Viola looked at him strangely:
"What is that?"
Oh, that's okay.
It seems that this kind of practice doesn't exist here.
Silver Academy enrolls around two hundred students, all of whom are exceptional magical geniuses selected from among thousands. A level seven mental affinity is merely the minimum requirement. At this moment, they all looked around with a mixture of trepidation and anticipation, even those from distinguished families. As the top academy of the human empire, Silver Academy is a great honor for anyone to join.
Professor Sylvie nodded with satisfaction after seeing the fearful expressions on many of the applicants' faces.
"That's enough. Lorne, come with me for a moment."
Everyone scattered like birds and beasts. Professor Viola turned slightly to the side, her skirt swirling gracefully in an arc, and gestured for Lorne to follow.
The demeanor he exuded in every gesture was as if he were not walking on campus, but attending a royal banquet.
"I have met Professor Sylvie."
Professor Sylvie's gaze shifted, lingering on Lorne, and she said softly:
"Lorne, based on your performance in the assessment, and after discussion by the academy, you are permitted to enroll as a student with special talents."
really.
Although the system's previous reaction and Professor Sylvie bringing him to the academy indirectly indicated the outcome, he still appeared pleasantly surprised:
"Thank you, Professor, for your help. I will remember it and will only strive to improve myself in the future so as not to let you down."
He imitated the actions of other magicians he had seen before, performing an awkward magical salute.
Professor Sylvie paused for a moment, her eyebrows curving into a smile, like a white lotus slowly blooming in the morning light.
This child is exceptionally talented yet humble, respects his teachers and elders, and is a promising prospect.
"What a sensible child," she said with an elegant smile.
"Silver Academy has always required students to obtain an intermediate magic degree before they are allowed to graduate. You were admitted with lower standards, so you are naturally less compatible with other students in terms of mental strength."
"Therefore, in order to prevent you from failing to meet the graduation requirements, after discussion among all of us in the department, we have raised your graduation requirements slightly. You will need 450 credits to graduate, which is also a pressure for you."
Four hundred and fifty...
I think Cat Senior got a hundred credits deducted before, right?
Just as I was thinking this, Professor Sylvie's voice rang out again:
"Also, regarding the destruction of the Silver Echo Monument, while Meow Leon bears some responsibility for his negligence, it was ultimately caused by you, so you also bear half the responsibility, and you will have fifty credits deducted from your credits."
Before even enrolling, I already owe fifty credits.
What do you call this? Going to school in debt?
Lorne said sincerely:
"I received special treatment, which caused losses to the college. This is a responsibility I should bear."
Although I don't know what 500 credits represent yet, we've come this far, so I might as well agree.
Seeing his composure and humility, Professor Sylvie's goodwill towards him grew even stronger, and her smile widened. She took out a vibrant green leaf from her sleeve, crystal clear, as if carved from jade.
"Your mental strength is not as good as the other students. If you encounter difficulties in your magic studies, you can come to me for help. I usually stay in the greenhouse of the Wood Element Tower. Just put this leaf on your academy badge."
……
The elder of the Demonic Cult has shown you goodwill; it is recommended that you express your gratitude to strengthen the bonds of camaraderie among fellow members of the Demonic Path.
……
How did such a beautiful and elegant lady get involved with an elder of the demonic sect...?
However, even before enrolling in school, I've already gained the favor of a big shot, so it's a win-win situation.
"Thank you, Professor Sylvie, for the opportunity to guide me. Lorne will definitely study hard and improve my magical skills!"
He accepted it with delight, without asking about the academy badge, assuming that such a thing was something he had to go back to to collect.
Professor Sylvie nodded in satisfaction, turned and took two steps away, then turned back and added:
"Alright, the first class will be on the Morning Glow Lawn the next day. Don't be late."
"Now you can go explore the campus. By the way, foie gras is unlimited today."
After saying that, she gracefully waved her hand and drifted away, leaving behind a faint fragrance of grass and trees.
Lorne rubbed his somewhat exaggerated cheeks, and only then did he have time to check the prompts in his mind.
[Your eloquence and flattery have earned you the regard of the elders of the Demonic Sect as a rising star in the demonic path, and you have been presented with an elder's token.]
[Cultivation Points +0!]
Ok?
Points +0?
What do you mean by that?!
