Chapter 06 (Part Two)

So how many 0-level spells can you cast

Hello! Welcome, you look unfamiliar, are you a new student? The innkeeper stepped forward and introduced himself, saying: "My name is Di Kanglang, what services do you require?"

Not far beyond the gate, one arrives at the Red Apple Inn. Upon entering, nearly everyone is dressed in magical robes, sorcerer's robes, or priestly robes, along with a few young bards—these individuals are all elites of this world, even part of the ruling class

In one gulp, Anien drank a glass of water, gazing out the window. Undoubtedly, this is a typical city supported by magic and divine power, a city of considerable civilization. Compared to the technological and steel cities of his original world, this place is filled with the vitality and energy of life. It is a manifestation of a different kind of civilization, which left Anien profoundly shaken

The number of people in the academy is actually quite small, so it is only natural that the innkeeper, Dikanlang, knows almost everyone. Although Anien does not perceive Dikanlang as a mage, he understands that being able to run such an inn in this place must have its unique significance. He then said: "Hello, Mr. Dikanlang, my name is Anien, a new student at the academy"

Registration complete, Kalenli took out a stack of items, which included a magical robe. Although it bore no insignia of a wizard, it indicated that this was used by a student of magic: "Wearing this proves your identity"

Is it really necessary to ask so many questions? Anien couldn't help but feel a bit frustrated

Anien was caught in the midst of it, getting to know each other, and as this process unfolded, the night gradually deepened. When Anien finally arrived at his room, he realized that it was essentially a small courtyard suite, with each unit isolated from the others, paying considerable attention to privacy. No wonder it cost five gold coins a day; it seemed he needed to find a place quickly tomorrow.

"Well, then I will first ask you some basic knowledge," said Kallen.

No problem

Cheers! It seems that Di Kanglang still holds considerable influence, as everyone in the inn who heard raised their glasses

Iniya, what kind of beauty, wisdom, and power does this moon, the daughter of the goddess of the magical web and the voters, the creator of this city, truly possess?

"Well then, take this brochure, and you may go out," said Kan Lunli

In fact, Anien was originally only able to cast two level 0 spells and could only memorize two each day. However, now all the spells he has learned are vividly present in his mind. Particularly after the establishment of the brain memory replication zone, the issue of memory loss related to spells can be partially resolved. This means that after casting a spell, he will still lose the memory of that spell, but the brain memory replication zone can immediately restore the lost memory without the need to reread the spellbook. The reason for the memory loss during spellcasting is still unclear, and the time is too short to fully understand it, leaving it for further research in the future.

It turns out that the magic academy does not have any classes; typically, a mentor only takes one or two apprentices. Moreover, apprentices are not allowed to disturb their mentors frequently, as every magician has their own work and research.

Seeing that he had already received the badge and the magical robe, Kerenli said: "Due to your noble status and the special recommendation letter, your tuition fee is half, which amounts to 250 gold coins per year, please make the payment"

Anien, recalling the teachings of Daisya, executed the spell and gestures flawlessly. Indeed, the cold ray was cast correctly, and a thin layer of ice immediately appeared on the cup. Although the ice was only a thin layer and melted right away, it was evident that the spell had succeeded

The so-called basic knowledge refers to the history of magic, the fundamental properties of magic, and the basic issues related to spellcasting. Anien answered all these questions fluently, even being able to specify which books he had read them in. When asked later, he even addressed some elven etiquette and knowledge.

Anien stepped outside, changed into his magic robe in the corridor, and pinned on his magic badge before walking through the academy. The academy, as described, occupies a vast area but has a small number of students. According to the introduction, the school only accepts thirty formal students each year, while the applicants, who are several times the number of formal students, are assigned tasks such as cooking, laundry, cleaning, and repairs. If they continue to perform these tasks for more than six months, they are allowed to read a rather limited portion of the school library—Level 0 magic. If any of them can self-study and successfully cast Level 0 magic, it indicates that they possess extraordinary magical talent, and thus the academy may offer them special admission.

I am able to cast seven 0-level spells: Mage Hand, Mending, Ray of Frost, Detect Magic, Detect Poison, Light, and Read Magic, and I can memorize three of them. Today, I have memorized Ray of Frost, Detect Poison, and Read Magic

Upon hearing this, the people around were somewhat surprised, as the admission period had not yet arrived. The fact that this young man could be admitted early indicated that he must possess certain exceptional qualities. Di Kanglang smiled and said, "Come, let us toast to adding a friend; this drink is on me"

At this moment, the feeling transcends the boundaries of profession and path, resonating with and even admiring the strong. Born into this world, the brilliance of the future truly makes him find it increasingly interesting

Congratulations, you have demonstrated quite a high level of magical talent. It seems that Daisya has taught you well. Although Karenli's tone remained calm, she was actually quite surprised: "You are now a student of the academy, and I am your mentor. Come here to register!"

Thank you all, come, let me treat everyone to another drink. Anien said, those who can come here are the elites of this world, members of the future ruling class, so they all give each other some face, and thus his proposal for a second round was accepted

It is almost dusk; other matters can wait until tomorrow. For now, it is only reasonable to rest. Glancing at the setting sun, Anien once again felt the incredibly pure air. This is a natural and clean environment that is hard to find in a technological world, which greatly uplifted his spirits

She took out two badges: "This is the Magic Passage Badge. With this, you can access the library and enjoy many special privileges. And this one, since you are the heir of Baron Nabira, you will also enjoy noble treatment in Moon City. This knight badge can be worn, and when you go out, you will gain quite a few privileges and conveniences.

Oh, please cast the cold ray towards this glass of water

250 gold coins, which is nearly the lifetime earnings of an ordinary person, and it is even halved. No wonder there are so few mages; ordinary families simply cannot afford such expenses. Even if one has exceptional talent, it is of no use. Anien thought to himself, as he took out 250 gold coins from his spatial bag.

Annie quickly replied: "I have no interest in living on campus; I will find accommodation outside by myself"

Oh? Bring it here! Kalenli received the leaf, which emitted a green glow. She nodded slightly, revealing a hint of a smile: "Anien, although you have a special recommendation letter and are the son of Daisiya, the enrollment procedure is still necessary. Do you want to take the exam immediately?"

You are now a member of the academy, Anien. There are two public classes each week, covering basic skills and the history of magic. You may attend these lectures, and your specific mentor is me. However, you must study the first-level magic you wish to learn on your own in the library and conduct research. If you encounter any difficult questions, you may come to me on the tenth of each month, and I will provide answers for you. " Kallen continued after a pause: "You are our official student. The school offers accommodation and meals in the cafeteria, the costs of which are included in the tuition fees. Do you wish to live on campus?"

Certainly, the introduction specifically mentions a location, which is the Red Apple Hotel. This hotel is dedicated to accommodating wizards and academy personnel, and there is a security team nearby, making it very safe. Students from various academies—whether academic or magical—enjoy giving speeches and engaging in discussions here
