People are at the border, but they become the incarnation of the sun

At this moment, he suddenly heard a familiar voice in his ears. He turned around subconsciously and saw a magician from the Haimo classroom striding towards him. The magic apprentices around him made way for him.

"Ah, hello, Lord Yug." Reinhardt greeted with a little respect.

"I didn't expect you to come so early." Yug looked Reinhardt up and down, and the corners of his mouth under the pyroxene stone sleeve curled up slightly.

"I've already done everything I need to do, so I wanted to change my mood and came to the venue early."

"Well, your choice is wise. You didn't do that kind of useless last-minute preparation." Yug nodded slightly. Seeing his respectful look, he smiled and waved his hand. "But there's no need to be so formal. I believe that after today's test, you will become one of us."

"You're too kind. This is my first time taking an academic test, and I'm far behind the experienced seniors..."

"hehe."

Yug's chuckle interrupted him, "Since this is your first time participating, I think you should be more confident."

"You must remember that your talent and genius cannot be compared to those 'waste stones' who failed several exams. You must at least be worthy of the eyes of your mentor, 'Witch' Se Lian."

"Or do you want to embarrass your mentor, Seren? Does it mean she's misjudged you?"

After what happened in Menqian Town that day, Yug did some investigation.

It would have been fine if I hadn't investigated, but I was shocked when I did.

This kid turned out to be the apprentice that the witch Serlian had just accepted recently. He had originally considered whether to accept Reinhardt as his apprentice, but when he saw that the other party was the witch Serlian, he decisively gave up the idea.

"...You're right, I'll keep that in mind."

Reinhardt lowered his head slightly, looking as if he was obeying the instructions.

This attitude made Yug very satisfied.

"Alright, I won't say any more nonsense. Just work hard, young man. I look forward to the day when the Queen will perform the gift-giving ceremony for you."

As he spoke, Yug reached out and patted him on the shoulder, then walked away through the crowd.

However, Yug's words also caused discussions among the surrounding magic apprentices.

"Hey, what do you think this kid is? He actually got the favor of Master Yug from the High Moor classroom."

Yug is also a celebrity in the Rhea Lukalia Magic Academy and belongs to the first-tier law enforcement team of the magic academy.

Basically, except for the magic professor and the leaders above, there is basically no one he cannot touch.

It is also known for its fair and just law enforcement style.

"Hush, I suggest you don't know. As far as I know, that person is called Reinhardt, and he has been studying in the school for more than three years.

Two and a half years ago, I was always wandering around the edge of the wasteland, but suddenly I seemed to have a breakthrough, and my adaptability to pyroxene magic increased rapidly. Recently, I even caught the attention of that Lord Seren.

Just like an information dealer, this person dumped out all of Reinhardt's resume and life story.

But the previous ones were nothing. What shocked his companions the most was the last piece of news.

"Are you talking about the most talented woman the academy has ever seen? The one who was once Master Azrael's proudest disciple, the one even Master Luther praised highly?!"

"Shh! You can't say the last two names!"

The intelligence dealer just now quickly covered his companion's mouth and looked around vigilantly.

Fortunately, their discussion was quiet enough and the venue was noisy enough that no one heard it, so I breathed a sigh of relief.

Ever since the Full Moon Queen Lenara exiled the two masters, the masters' names have become taboos in the academy, and no one dares to mention them casually.

He was afraid that he would be taken away by the law enforcement team of the Haimo classroom in the next second and tried as the remnant of the Origin Faction.

When the companion heard the news, he couldn't help but swallow a few times.

I originally had some thoughts of making trouble, but now I can't even think of doing that.

Not only is he favored by Lord Yug, but he is also a disciple of the "Witch" Seren. Such a powerful background is not something a helpless guy like him can afford to provoke.

Forget it, forget it, I can’t afford to offend you, I can’t afford to offend you…

"quiet!"

The loud female voice suddenly silenced the noise and discussions at the scene.

On the temporary platform at the front of the venue, a magic professor stood there, holding a scroll with the dual seals of the Rhea Lukalia Magic Academy and the Kalia Royal Family, and read out:

"The apprenticeship test has officially begun. All magic apprentices, please enter!"

The team of magic apprentices began to move slowly and poured into their respective examination rooms.

This scale reminded him of the middle school entrance examination and the college entrance examination in his previous life, which were not much different in scale.

But in terms of content, the magic academy exams have more.

In addition to the basic theoretical knowledge assessment, there is also a practical test, which mainly tests the understanding of pyroxene magic, the scale of activation, speed and success rate.

To be honest, it's a bit like a vocational skills test.

However, the initial theoretical knowledge assessment was not too difficult. The questions on the test paper were basically all things that Se Lian had taught in class.

Moreover, most of the questions were exactly the same as the ones in the test that Seren had given him before.

If Se Lian was not still outside the academy at this moment, he really suspected that the test questions were set by Se Lian himself.

However, just as he was about to finish his answer, a figure suddenly walked by.

"Oh my god, there's actually someone faster than me?!"

Reinhardt was startled and raised his head suddenly, only to see a big bald head that was a bit dazzling. He handed the scroll to the magician in charge of supervising the exam in the Haymo classroom.

He recognized him at first sight. This person must be Tops.

Although his face looked younger and did not have the vicissitudes of life that he had in the Elis Church, he would never mistake his inferiority aura.

The discussions of others further confirmed this.

"Haha, Topps is still the same as always, always submitting his papers so quickly."

"Yeah, but what's the point? Even if you get full marks in theory but can't pass the practical part, you're still useless."

"This guy Tops has taken the exam for the third time, right?"

"That's right. If we don't make it this year, I'm afraid it will definitely become a waste stone."

"I can only say that it deserves to be reduced to waste stone."

Come to Zhang Longniang.jpg

13. The fate of waste stone cannot be escaped

"quiet!"

Suddenly, the magician in charge of supervising the exam picked up the gavel and knocked it hard. The guy who was almost mocking Topps just now stopped talking on the spot, lowered his head and continued to answer the questions.

But the almost endless laughter, insults and mockery just now made Tops, who already had a low self-esteem, bury his head even lower, almost shrinking into the loose wizard's robe.

Seeing the exam room return to silence, the invigilator turned to Tops and asked, "Is it the same this year? This is your last chance."

This invigilator from the Haimo classroom is also an old acquaintance of Tops. He is the one who is responsible for invigilating Tops every time.

Naturally, he noticed Topps' efforts, but unfortunately, Topps had no talent at all in casting magic.

Tops himself was aware of his own shortcomings and knew that he had no talent for magic, but despite this he nodded slightly.

"...I see..."

Having said that, he placed the scroll on the podium and turned to leave the classroom.

Reinhardt saw the entire process.

Especially the last lonely and self-deprecating figure, which made him feel distressed.

In the game, he has only two teachers. One is the witch Seren who was exiled from the academy, and the other is Tops who is hiding in the ruined church of Elis hoping to return to the academy.

Although Tops did not have the talent to perform pyroxene magic, was an inferior person with mediocre qualifications, his achievements and his life's work overturned the entire system of pyroxene magic and even prayer.

The theory that was ridiculed was actually a discovery that could establish a new classroom.

The strongest barrier that can bend even the will of the gods—

Topps force field.

In this strange and magical place called the Border, under the supreme will that has never revealed its true face, the gods can be said to be the most powerful existence in the Border.

Anything that can have an effect on gods is rare.

In Reinhardt's impression, there were only four.

The first is the Ancient Dragonite forging stone, which is essential for forging god-killing weapons.

Those were scales from the body of the ancient dragon king Platon Shanks, the previous king of Elden, who once hunted gods and was now autistic in the cracks of time and space due to the departure of the gods.

Those scales are so magical that even if they are not forged into weapons, they can slightly distort time and space.

The second is the destined death that was once controlled by the Queen of Night, and is now sealed in the black sword by the shadow beast Malikus of the [Eternal Queen] Malikus.

In the past, Queen Xiaose and her followers, the Godskins, used the power of destined death to hunt down the gods of the borderland.

The third is a golden needle forged by Michaela, one of the twins blessed by heaven, to curb the scarlet corrupt power that resides in her sister Malenia. It is a slender and graceful golden needle that can repel any interference from external gods.

Legend has it that even the power of insanity can be suppressed.

And finally, there is the secret method that Tops created with all his life’s efforts, wisdom and wisdom.

The ultimate secret technique that can be used even without any magical talent—

Topps force field.

Although Topps was considered a waste stone and the most mediocre existence, his achievements surpassed any genius in the borderland.

However, at this time, Topps once again stopped at the first step of practical testing.

As requested, Topps placed his hand on the test pyroxene, only to see the light emitted by the pyroxene flicker like a dying candle.

The magician who was recording the situation nearby took a look and announced indifferently, "Apprentice Tops, failed."

Tops didn't react much to the news. He just smiled bitterly, withdrew his hand from the test pyroxene, and slowly turned away, leaving behind his distraught figure.

He already knew this outcome, but he was unwilling to give up and wanted to fight again.

Now it seems that maybe I really have no talent.

Reinhardt, who had been following behind, saw all of this.

As they passed each other, he reached out and patted Topps on the shoulder, saying, "Don't be discouraged, buddy."

"...Thank you."

Topps raised his head woodenly and responded with a forced smile.

However, this smile was uglier than crying, and tears were almost falling.

Tops knew what it was like to be abandoned by the academy, a future without any apprentice classrooms and without any lecturers willing to take him in.

Even the place for studying pyroxene magic is set up outside the academy building, in a dark corner facing the cliff.

Moreover, the dormitories will be taken back on the grounds that the college does not want to keep idle people.

The Rhea Lukalia School of Magic is such a cold and ruthless temple of knowledge.

Here, talent determines everything. Those without talent are not qualified to stay in the academy. Even if they stubbornly refuse to leave, the final result is that they will be reduced to the lowest level of slaves.

Reinhardt was well aware of this, so he couldn't find the right words to comfort Topps for a while.

All I could do was say a dry "Don't give up" and watch him leave.

"Forget it, I'll go and comfort her after the test is over."

He shook his head, put the matter aside for the time being, and concentrated on the test.

"Next, Reinhardt."

When his name was called, Reinhardt withdrew his gaze from Topps's back and slowly walked to the stage.

Just as expected, it went smoothly.

However, something went wrong when testing the pyroxene magic.

"Giant Demonic Gravel!"
