noble magician

After deciding to study with Lei Zhe, Lance's books gradually moved to Lei Zhe's room, and his own residence was only used for sleeping.

With Lance's diligence, the textbooks sent by the college were quickly eaten by him. Lei Zhe enthusiastically recommended books for him. Lance was like a bookworm who had been hungry for 800 years, and ate all of them one by one. down.Including the magic skill book that he couldn't understand before, he can understand it now, and there are unexpected gains.

That day, Lance went to Lei Zhe's residence as usual. When he read "Summoning of the Fire Samurai", perhaps because he was too fascinated, he unknowingly used summoning magic.

Looking at the flame samurai who suddenly appeared in his room, and then at Lance who was still buried in the pile of books, Lei Zhe silently took Lance's book and pointed to the flame samurai.

Lance felt a little confused, and looked at Lei Zhe in confusion.At this time, he didn't realize that it was him who summoned him. He didn't realize it until Lei Zhe said it, but he still felt a little unbelievable.

In fact, this is not surprising. If it were not for the lack of suitable conditions, Lance would have already been an apprentice-level magician.It's like the ten orifices have been cleared to nine orifices, but they are just stuck on the last link. After sorting out the magic theory during this period, they finally made a breakthrough.

Lance tried to ask other people, and found that they all gained a lot. Some magicians also appeared in Lance's situation, breaking through obstacles that they could not overcome in the past, and comprehending new magic.By this time, no one doubted the teaching method of the college, and the efforts made this month were not only effective, but the benefits it brought were subtle and long-lasting.

The exam a month later—a written one, of course—Lance passed with flying colors, but not all magicians are like that.After the exam this time, the college was suddenly quite empty, and many students failed the exam and were ordered to drop out.

Those who were dropped out either didn't agree with this teaching method, or were lazy and didn't take it seriously, anyway, the result was like this.The Orchid Academy is very good at this point. If you fail to pass the exam, you will be expelled. This has been the case for thousands of years.

At this time, in the civilian dormitory area of ​​Lan College, the just-concluded exam divided the students of the college into two categories.

The first class is frowning, with dark clouds on their faces, and usually dragging a few boxes. They are magicians who failed to pass the exam and were expelled from school.One class is the opposite of the former, everyone is happy and smiling, and they can seize the rest time after the exam to relax.It is indescribably weird that these two completely different atmospheres are intertwined.

"Hey, shall we go out to celebrate too?" Caddy said, putting his arm on Lance's shoulder.The going out he refers to refers to the outside of the academy, that is, the City of Burning Wind.

There will be a holiday after the monthly exams, and this group of mages who have "survived the catastrophe" will rush into the city and occupy various entertainment venues in an instant.At that time, the academy's blue mage robes can be seen everywhere in Roasting Wind City, and the scene is quite spectacular.

A few days ago, Lance had been running towards Lei Zhe. Although Kaidi didn't say it clearly, Lance felt that he was a little unhappy.Although he didn't understand the reason for this, Lance always felt a little guilty, feeling that he had neglected his old friend for many years.So when he heard Kaidi's invitation, he wanted to agree very much.

Lance was about to blurt out the word "good", but stopped abruptly, with a embarrassed look on his face.

"What?" Katie asked seeing his expression.

"Is such that……"

"Little Lance—" a melodious female voice called Lance's name, and Kaidi and Lance turned their heads to look.

I saw a small piece of pink floating in a blue ocean, curling up and... No, Evelyn ran fast, and in a blink of an eye she was in front of Lance.Lance would marvel at her leg strength every time she saw it, and secretly guessed that it was developed by her playing the game of "run and chase" with Lei Zhe for a long time.

Seeing that they were all staring at her skirt, Evelyn simply held up her skirt and spun around, asking, "How?"

"Not bad." Lance replied immediately, very smoothly.

"Tch, it's really boring." Evelyn said dissatisfiedly, "Can I go?"

Lance looked at Kaidi helplessly: "I made an appointment with them..."

"Oh, that's right." Kaidi was startled for a moment, then said with a smile.

"Is it your friend? Why don't you go together!" Evelyn, who loves to be lively, invited enthusiastically, "Lei Zhe will go too."

It would be fine if she didn't mention Lei Zhe, but once Lei Zhe was mentioned, Kaidi would lose all thoughts.

"No, next time." He said lightly.

"It's a pity, but we'll have to talk about that later. Lance, let's go."

Lance waved to Katie, and walked side by side with Evelyn towards the gate of the college.

"Lei Zhe is going too?" He asked strangely.

It was too late for Lei Zhe to hide from Evelyn, so he went out to the street with her?Lance felt that there must be something tricky about it.

Before, he thought that Evelyn was pursuing Lei Zhe, but unfortunately it was unrequited love.But looking at the current situation, he felt that things might not be what he thought. Maybe the two of them were actually in love with each other?

While Lance was secretly speculating about their relationship, Evelyn answered his question.

"At first, Lei Zhe didn't want to go, but he changed his mind when he heard that you would go too. Hey, Lance, you're so proud of yourself." Evelyn said while observing Lance's reaction.

This answer was still beyond Lance's expectation, and there was a puzzled expression on his face.

"What do you think of Lei Zhe?" Evelyn stroked her hair, looked forward and asked.

Lance's heart jumped. Considering the speculation about the relationship between the two, he always felt that this should be a very important issue.Lance thought about his choice of words, and said, "Lei Zhe knows a lot about magic, and he is also very patient. Although he looks a little difficult to get along with on the surface, he is actually very good to his friends..." He specifically picked The advantages are mentioned, and the disadvantages are not mentioned at all.

After hearing what he said, Evelyn's eyes lit up, and she said happily: "You know about him very well, not bad."

Lance secretly breathed a sigh of relief, for fear that his evaluation would affect Lei Zhe's "road of love".

There was already a carriage parked at the gate of the Orchid Academy, and Lei Zhe stood upright one meter away from the carriage.From time to time, a girl stuck her head out in the car to see if the person they were waiting for had arrived.After seeing Evelyn and Lance, he waved to them.

Because the college is located in a remote place, there are some carriages for students to go to the town, and they only need to pay a small fee to take them.Although many noble families in the college do not lack a carriage, it is very inconvenient to arrange and manage it, so it is stipulated that it cannot be parked in the college.

After Lance and Evelyn arrived, Lei Zhe immediately pulled Lance to his side, and at the same time, it was obvious that he deliberately kept him between himself and Evelyn, and he did a good job of defense.

It was rare for Evelyn to kindly not tease Lei Zhe, and the group got into the carriage.Lei Zhe picked a seat in the farthest corner, with Lance sitting next to him.With other girls around, he didn't show any particular resistance.

Burning Wind City is a place Lance often comes to, and he is very familiar with everything here.But all the girls in the company were here for the first time, except Evelyn.

Under the leadership of Evelyn, they kept haunting various shops with female characteristics.The mage's robe, which has no other advantages except for its good looks, can only be used as decorative accessories. I bought one after another of such things, and sometimes Lance couldn't tell the difference between this one and that one.

After "killing" one shop after another, they quickly abandoned their original reserve and shyness, and revealed their true nature. Their words and deeds were much more casual, and they chatted with each other, and one of them could even be called "unrestrained". Two words, it can be seen that the magic of shopping is great!

Even though they all came from noble families and carried space bags on their bodies, a space bag the size of an ordinary package is simply not enough to hold them.Fortunately, Evelyn had the foresight, and she brought a servant out to carry things.Perhaps because of the charm of shopping, Evelyn did not harass Lei Zhe for the first time.

When he reached the center of Scorching Wind City, Lei Zhe suddenly said to Lance, "Why don't you go to the Temple of Magicians to register now?"

The magician's temple is usually built in the center of a city or town, not far from where they are now, if they want to go, it's just right now.

One of the signs of a mage's promotion is to comprehend a higher-level spell. After summoning the flame servant, Lance gradually comprehended other apprentice-level magic, and he is already a genuine apprentice-level mage.

Lance nodded upon hearing this. Although the temple did not issue annual gold coin rewards to apprentice-level magicians, it is still beneficial to register as soon as possible.

As far as accepting missions and receiving bounties, each mission stipulates the level of mission execution. Magicians with higher levels will naturally receive missions with better rewards.Higher-level magicians also have priority when claiming bounties, and in other matters as well.

"We plan to go to the temple." After Lance agreed, Lei Zhe explained the situation to Evelyn.

Evelyn, who was in high spirits, nodded without hesitation: "Go, go, I will go to the temple to find you after we finish shopping, and we will go back together then."

Lance and Lei Zhe came to the magician's temple in the town. Lance habitually went to the direction of the civilian area, and Lei Zhe directly dragged him to the noble area and showed his identity crystal card.

The aristocratic area and the civilian area have always been separated, and Lance received the warm hospitality of the temple for the first time.The receptionist is no longer the cold face of the past but full of smiles. They are polite when they speak, and there are comfortable chairs to sit on while waiting, instead of queuing up with a group of civilian mages like before. This is the difference...
