Mage Joan

Chapter 164 Draft (Ⅳ)

All the ninety-six new students from the Arcane Branch School who participated in the "draft" on the playground, most of them were sorcerer apprentices who could only cast magic tricks, and there were only six freshmen who had two levels of sorcerers when they first entered school. Including Thomas and Joan.

Thomas was born in the wealthy Chap family in Port Leiden, and his resources are far beyond those of ordinary citizens. To actually have the same strength as Thomas, it shows that his spellcasting talent even exceeds Thomas Chap!

When Joan publicly declared that he had an intelligence attribute of 22, people's guesses were confirmed.

For a mage, spellcasting talent is completely determined by intelligence. The higher the intelligence, the stronger the spellcasting ability, and you can learn more spells in a shorter time. Of course, the level can be improved faster than others.

Intelligence attributes are mainly innate, but if you have money, a lot of money, you can also increase your intelligence attributes by purchasing extremely expensive alchemy elixir or magic tools.

For example, Thomas Chap, in the previous interview, confessed that his intelligence attribute was as high as 20, of which 18 points were born, and the extra two points of intelligence were forcibly poured out by him drinking countless precious tonics since he was a child.

With Joan's poor background, it is absolutely impossible to drink tonics like plain water like Thomas, so people think he was born with an intelligence attribute as high as 22. If even this is not considered a "genius", where is there any genius in this world? ?

Faced with the praise, Qiao An felt the envious and even jealous eyes of other students, and felt ashamed in her heart.

Only he himself knows that these 22 points of intelligence attributes are not all from innate, 4 points of which are the addition of "God's Tears", and 5 points are benefited from his drinking the "Wisdom Spring". It's just that it's inconvenient for him to publicize these secrets, and he can only keep silent in the face of people's amazement.

The twelve mentors seemed quite calm. They have already used the "advanced internal vision" to see Joan's mage level. As for the intelligence attribute, even if they are surprised by it, they will not show it on their faces, so as not to damage the dignity of the mentor.

While the mentors were examining Joan, Joan was also quietly observing the subtle changes in the expression of the twelve mentors, confirming that no one could see that in addition to his normal mage level, he also had a first-level "mythical master" professional level, and he secretly relaxed. It seems that "Wisdom Old Man" Mimir is not bragging - the magic barrier imposed on her can perfectly prevent others from prying into his mythical power.

After completing the self-introduction session, it is the tutor's turn to ask questions.

Robert Rawls and Walter Lee asked Joan two questions in turn to test his understanding of the basic principles of magic. Joan felt inferior to his stammering answers, but the two masters showed satisfied smiles.

At this time, even a blind person can see that the two most famous and oldest arcane instructors in Leiden College intend to take this boy from Delin Town into their sect.

In this competition, Master Rawls is obviously in a more favorable position-unless Joan performs too badly in the next spell display session, it is impossible for Master Li, who is ranked fifth in the draft, to make a move.

After finally getting through the first hurdle of the interview, Joan returned to the playground and found that his back was drenched in cold sweat, as if he had just experienced an ordeal.

Thomas handed him a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and said sympathetically, "You are too nervous. In fact, you are almost the best student here. Don't be afraid at all. Just say what you want to say boldly. It doesn't matter even if you say something wrong. Who here has the right to laugh at you?!"

Joan couldn't explain to Thomas that his nervousness was not because of fear, but a deeper psychological barrier. Those who understand will understand it, and those who don't will not believe it. Instead, he can only respond with a wry smile when he is hypocritical. Thomas' concern.

The interview that followed was uneventful, and the last two students did not bring any surprises to the instructor, they were just ordinary 0-level apprentices.

Of all the ninety-six freshmen who participated in the interview, it was finally counted that there were a total of 20 first-level mages who skipped directly to the second grade, and 6 second-level mages who directly skipped to the third grade.

Next, there will be a second stage of interviews by grade. In this stage, the main competition is the number of spell slots and spell-casting skills of the candidates. The rules are very simple, that is, try your best to cast the spells you are good at until you use up all the spells. Spell bits.

Of the six freshmen who went straight to the third grade, three of them had three first-level spell slots, which was normal. What is not normal is that the other three freshmen, Joan, Thomas, and a boy named Edward Gates—one year older than Joan and 14 years old with Thomas—have four first-ring spell slots !

There is only one reasonable explanation for the reason why these three freshmen have more spell slots than mages of the same level, that is, their intelligence level is extremely high!

A mage's intelligence attribute is high enough to obtain additional spell slots, and at the age of thirteen or fourteen, not only was he promoted to a second-level mage, but he also has four first-level spell slots. It is not too much to call him a "genius".

Among these three geniuses, only Joan was a poor kid from the countryside. As for the other two, they came from extraordinary backgrounds, either rich or noble!

Edward Gates is the second son of General Charles Gates, the garrison commander of Leiden Port, after Jiangmen, the standard "second generation of officials".

Thomas Chap is the heir of the "Chap Family", the leading manor owner in Alfheim, a "rich second generation" who has enjoyed tens of millions of fortunes since he was born.

"If I don't study magic well, I will only inherit the family business and be forced to manage more than 80,000 acres of plantations. This is not the life I want!"

Hearing Thomas express such emotions, Joan couldn't help twitching violently at the corner of his mouth, and finally resisted the urge to slap him.

"Edward Gates!"

Master Walter Lee, who was the chief examiner, made a loud roll call, and a tall and thin boy—a head taller than Joanne— came out in response, walked to the center of the playground with his head held high, and first bowed deeply to the instructors on the opposite side , then held his head high and stood straight in a standard military posture, like a javelin pierced in the middle of the playground.

Qiao An couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes.

This pale boy with a stern expression was six feet two inches tall, and his demeanor and demeanor exuded a strong military temperament. If he took off his robe and put on armor, he would look more like a well-trained knight.
