Magic High School.

The first to ignite the discussion was the senior from the Noble Phantasm Department. He was dressed in what appeared to be a tight-fitting military uniform, adorned with medals, belts, and buckles, on which were attached various practical items.

"The Noble Phantasm Department mainly relies on practice, even actual combat, to improve ourselves. The most important thing is our own Noble Phantasm. Of course, we also need other basic techniques and items to make up for the shortcomings of our Noble Phantasm." The senior student spoke in a serious manner, whether he was nervous or just treating it like a job.

The people below began to whisper among themselves, and many who had long been prepared to enter the Noble Phantasm Department suddenly became more determined.

Basically, these people are members with certain intelligence, and even those with powerful backers or families are more inclined to the Noble Phantasm category. Just as Yi Lian said, if one's own "fake artifact" truly evolves into a Noble Phantasm, it has the opportunity to be passed down through generations.

For a magical family or even a powerful force, a treasure that can be passed down through generations is an immense benefit.

At the same time, mages who rely on Noble Phantasms can greatly reduce their learning costs, eliminating the need for decades or even centuries of accumulating magical knowledge.

Another point is that the Noble Phantasm build can be mastered quickly. Traditional mages might struggle to even light a cigarette by the time they graduate, while Noble Phantasm-focused mages are already capable of carrying out various school assignments by graduation.

Therefore, the most common traditional mages are actually the elves, whose lifespans are so long they're practically boring.

Soon, the second senior from the occult discipline stepped forward. He was dressed like an old nobleman, took off his top hat, gave a slight bow, and said, "The occult discipline is the most special. Occultism is an extremely abstract discipline. We mainly rely on rituals and invocations in battle, but please believe me, occultism is a discipline that can communicate directly with the gods. It is a truly great discipline."

This time, however, not many people were enthusiastic, and some even felt that the senior was a bit eccentric.

Gods, descents, rituals—these concepts were too abstract for these new students. It made them seem more like missionaries than recruiters.

Last to take the stage was the traditionalist senior.

The moment she took off her hood, the entire audience held their breath.

"Elf!"

It's unclear who exclaimed in surprise.

The traditional senior student who came to recruit students was a typical blonde, blue-eyed elf girl. As the sunlight slanted across the recruitment square, the curve of her ear tips caught the third ray of sunlight, and her blonde hair rippled in the light.

The moment she appeared, she instantly became the focus of the entire audience, like a Disney fairy princess who had escaped, leaving everyone breathless.

"I am a senior in the Traditional Sciences. The Traditional Sciences focus more on the accumulation of knowledge and the consolidation of the foundation. We need to start by learning the most basic magic knowledge, taking one step at a time, and relying on ourselves to walk our own broad road. It is a road full of thorns, but just likewise, after passing through the thorns, there will be a sea of ​​flowers."

Thick thorns sprouted around the elf senior, but the next moment, a sea of ​​flowers bloomed from the thorns, forming a magnificent ocean in the shimmering light.

This moment was an absolutely devastating scene for these newbies who had just stepped into the world of magic.

Meanwhile, the heads of the Treasure Trove Department and the Mysterious Department turned as green with rage.

Compared to this fairy senior's flower sea magic, the Noble Phantasm Department looks like people clocking in and out of work, and the Mystic Department looks like eccentric missionaries—they're simply incomparable!

They were careless. They didn't expect that this year's traditional science exam would abandon martial ethics and start using a honey trap with special effects. These special effects even fooled these old masters for a moment.

Countless people were captivated by the sea of ​​flowers, especially when the fairy senior stood amidst the fluttering blossoms and smiled sweetly. The overwhelming impact instantly struck almost everyone's heart. It wasn't just a fluttering heart; it felt like a dump truck was crashing into their chest.

"I want to join the traditional department!"

"I want to join the traditional department too! I want to have a sweet romance with an elf!"

"Don't stop me! I'm really not good at the Noble Phantasm Department, I want to join the Traditional Department!"

……

More and more people went to the traditional department to report, and at this moment, the head of the treasure weapon department turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Damn it, the old elves from the traditional department have no sportsmanship. They're trying to trick and ambush these clueless magic newbies. If they had known this would happen, their Noble Phantasm Department could have found an elf student and staged a special effects battle.

But it's too late to say anything now. The traditional department people have broken the unspoken rules, and I guess there will be more unseen battles like special effects battles during the freshman orientation process.

As for Li Ge, he still came to the Treasure Tool Department to report for duty with Yi Lian.

In fact, Li Ge was indifferent to the division of departments, but in the end, he still chose the Noble Phantasm Department.

The main thing is that Li Ge is becoming more and more curious about the clown mask. This treasure brings him not only surprises but also frights. At the same time, there is another consideration: Li Ge suddenly has some doubts about the cause of his parents' death.

According to my aunt, my parents are incredibly powerful people. And based on the current information, the fact that they were able to leave me the clown mask means that my parents would at least be instructors at the magic high school.

This person, who should have been incredibly powerful, actually died in that magic-free countryside, leaving behind only this mask. Li Ge couldn't help but doubt his own world and even feel insecure.

Therefore, he chose to accelerate his progress by focusing on Noble Phantasm-based attacks. After all, his magical talent is still uncertain, and he relies entirely on the power granted by the Clown Mask, so it is only natural for him to adopt the Noble Phantasm-based approach.

Yi Lian naturally also adopted the Noble Phantasm style, meaning that his mind was not suited to the traditional approach.

When Li Ge arrived to register, he also saw two acquaintances, the female knight and Xiao Ye. They held hands and greeted Li Ge warmly as usual.

Li Ge gave another awkward yet polite smile. He felt that his two classmates were being a little too enthusiastic towards him.

Seeing that his most promising students had all enrolled in the Treasure Art Department, the headmaster's expression softened slightly. As for the students of average talent, they all went to the Traditional Department. Well, let them go. Those students in the Traditional Department would just have to endure it all anyway.

However, he seemed to have been too happy too soon. Soon, a scent like morning dew reached Li Ge's nose. The next moment, the elven senior was only a few meters away from him, her hands behind her back, smiling as she said, "Li Ge, the eyes that can see through appearances should not just remain at the level of 'tools'. Traditional Studies can teach you how to understand everything you see. Are you interested in joining Traditional Studies?"

At this moment, the entire Noble Phantasm Department seemed to be in an uproar.

Chapter 14 The First Lesson of the New Semester

The head of the Noble Phantasm Department was a middle-aged man with a very dignified face and a rigid, German-like demeanor. He even had a hideous scar on his face that ran from his forehead to his chest, making him look quite fierce.

When he saw the elves coming here to poach people, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. He looked so dark he could go to the Sea Tiger film set and become a madman.

Is there no law anymore? Are there no school rules anymore?

No, are you traditional science departments crazy this year? Are you trying to poach all the talent?

Looking at the elf senior's smiling face, it would be a lie to say that Li Ge wasn't moved. Of course, his little head still couldn't beat his big head. He wasn't Zeus, and he knew that this feeling of being moved was just a physical attraction to the elf. But when it came to his future direction, Li Ge's rationality prevailed.

"Thank you, senior, but I'm eager to become stronger quickly." Li Ge gave a reason that the elf senior couldn't refute.

The elf looked slightly surprised, and froze for a moment, her pure white dress fluttering in the wind.

It seemed that few people could refuse her so directly, but she wasn't annoyed. Instead, she smiled and said, "That's a pity. I thought I could spend some time in the academy with you, junior. Let's exchange contact information. We might need to borrow your magic weapon temporarily in the future."

After speaking, she stretched out her smooth, jade-like hand to show the watch on it.

Li Ge held out his watch and touched it with his senior's, then exchanged contact information.

"And this mutated elf junior, and this knight junior and assassin junior, are you interested in joining the traditional department?" The elf senior seemed to be looking at the people around Li Ge, continuing to recruit people.

"No, no, we're not qualified enough. Going to a traditional department would be a nightmare." Before the others could respond, Yi Lian shook his head vigorously, literally more than 180 degrees.

Since he's a water person and has no spine, he can rotate his head any number of degrees he wants.

"That's a shame. Let's keep in touch sometime." The elf senior waved her hand.

The head of the Treasure Art Department, his face dark, came over and shooed him away: "Get out of here! Don't try to poach anyone from me anymore, you bastard!"

"Oh dear, is little Gunn unhappy?"

"That's enough. Don't pretend to be some innocent senior in front of me. You're in the same year as me." The head of the Treasure Art Department said with great dissatisfaction and started to kick him out.

"But I'm just a young girl among the elves."

"roll!"

"Fine, get out then. Little Gunn is too unlovable. You'll regret it."

"I am the director!"

After seeing the elf off, the director's face twitched. He hadn't lied. The elf was a student in the same year as him, but now he was old and even unable to continue missions due to trauma, so he could only return to the school to teach. Meanwhile, the elf in his year was still a young girl and could pretend to be a freshman senior without any problem.

She even looks like she'll still be a young girl a hundred years from now.

And I myself don't even have many years left to live.

The director quickly stopped thinking about these trivial matters. Now he only wanted to teach his juniors well, especially to pass on all the knowledge and experience he had gained on the battlefield and during his field investigations to these young upstarts.

Looking at these young rascals who are about to join the Noble Phantasm Department, some of them are still hesitant, some may regret it, and some have hope and a future, but it doesn't matter, these are the juniors he has high hopes for.

In particular, he glanced at Li Ge, noting his intelligence-related abilities. These abilities might seem unimportant, but they are extremely useful when needed. Li Ge's previous serious injury was due to insufficient intelligence, which led to his carelessness and being ambushed...

Battles between mages are battles of intelligence.

"Alright, everyone in the Noble Phantasm Department, come with me back to the academy to distribute academy badges and install the 'Combat-Specific System'," the headmaster named Gunn immediately said.

"Oh!"

……

Li Ge pinned a sword-like badge to his chest, which was the academy badge of the Noble Phantasm Department. At the same time, his student ID and watch changed his status from "freshman" to "formal student of the Noble Phantasm Department".

At the same time, Li Ge also experienced what the installation system that Yi Lian had mentioned before was.

He turned on his watch, and in an instant, all his panels were displayed in the system.

[Practical Application System (Campus Edition)]

Name: Li Ge

Age: 17 (Male, mixed-race human)

Specialty: Noble Phantasm-focused Mage

Noble Phantasm (Lion's Eye C+): An information-type Noble Phantasm that allows one to see through other people's tags and information, while also enhancing vision and granting a certain degree of ability to see through illusions and obstructions of vision.

Current level: Tier 1 Novice Mage

Physical attributes: Low level (Strength: 9, Agility: 8, Spirit: 9)

Development Recommendations: Possesses intelligence-related abilities and a unique Noble Phantasm, but has relatively low physical attributes. It is recommended to develop in areas such as intelligence analysis and information gathering; suitable as the team's idea generator.

The system can scan body data in real time and display it completely. At the same time, the ability display is extremely clear, showing even your magician level, physical fitness, and development suggestions.

Li Ge immediately felt the novelty of the system and became enamored with it.

Even after the system is completed, the academy's library will be open directly, and the academy's shop will also be open. They can buy things directly in the shop with credits, and they can also spend points to directly access the magical knowledge in the academy's library.

The library at the magic high school is very convenient; you can access it directly by tapping your watch, and all the basic knowledge is free, only advanced magic knowledge requires credits.

He opened the bookshelf and saw, wow, 1.08 billion magic books! He could probably only read the table of contents even after a lifetime of studying.

Unlike the stories he had read where magical knowledge was extremely precious, the academy was completely open. As long as you had the ability, you could learn from these 1.08 billion magic books however you wanted; the only problem was that you might not be able to learn them.

Li Ge immediately clicked on the spell he had once been curious about, namely the "teleportation spell" used by the vice principal.

Sure enough, it was available for free, but Li Ge couldn't hold back after the first chapter.
