Chapter 188 Enrollment

There was nothing particularly noteworthy about the opening ceremony of the Magic Academy in Kedax City.

Even if it's a magic academy, the way it starts is not much different from ordinary schools.

Annan, who was originally energetic, gradually became drowsy after listening to a bunch of nonsense from the principal or the teacher on the stage.

But he couldn't show off too much, as he would be easily discovered by the teacher. After all, the number of teachers and students here was a bit too small.

The total number of teachers and students from the Magic Academy in this auditorium totaled about a hundred or so. People standing on the stage could easily see the situation below.

In order to cheer herself up, Annan began to have random thoughts.

The number of freshmen in the Magic Academy this year, including Annan, is exactly ten.

Even if the number of freshmen is only ten, it is still quite high based on the average number of students enrolled here every year.

There are many reasons why the number of new students may be small.

The Magic Academy in Kedax City is the only official magic academy in the state of Listatal where it is located, which means that it will recruit all new students in the entire state who have awakened to magic.

However, the magic academy here is not the only choice for magic apprentices.

Instead of choosing a magic academy in a state, magic apprentices with relatively capable families might as well find a way to study at the Matatek Magic Academy in the capital.

Whether it is in terms of teachers or pure resources, the magic academy in the capital is much better than other magic academies. In the center of the country, you can also meet more people.

Of course, both the school fees and admission qualifications will be higher.

If the family does not have enough resources to pay for the magic academy, most of the magic apprentices who have awakened their magic will choose to join the army.

Joining the army to become a magician does not require payment. Instead, you can get a salary from the military. After all, in a practical sense, it is equivalent to becoming a soldier.

To a certain extent, this can be considered a good way out.

Therefore, the number of magic apprentices joining the army every year is much greater than that of the magic academy.

There are always a relatively large number of poor families in this place.

The awakening of magic power is quite random, and there will be no deviation just because your family is rich, it's just that.

If the magic apprentice has extremely outstanding qualifications, or if the family has considerable strength, he can also consider studying in a foreign magic academy and become an international student.

The United States of Matatec has not been living a stable life in the past half century. There are many places where development is inevitably slow, which naturally includes the magic education in the magic academy.

Compared with Eureka, a large country in the north, the magic education related to Matatek is simply several generations behind.

This is not an exaggeration, it is just the truth.

The Magic Academy of the United States of Eureka will release some magical research results every once in a while, but Matatek has not performed anything for a long time.

If a family can afford to send their children to study at the Magic Academy in Eureka, that is naturally the best choice.

In short, due to various reasons, the number of new students in a state's magic academy every year is very small.

Although there has never been a year without any new students, the most serious situation was when only one new student enrolled.

Although the local magic academy works hard to recruit students, it cannot force others.

What's more, the Academy of Magic currently does not have corresponding admission preferential treatment, and the scholarship and special admissions system has not been completely established due to various problems. This has led to the fact that even if some students from poor families want to work hard to improve, they are not able to get in. In the end, I had no choice but to take the next best option and join the army.

While Annan was still thinking, the opening ceremony finally ended unknowingly.

After the graduation ceremony, it is time for freshmen to choose courses.

The so-called course selection here should actually be said to be choosing which professor to follow to learn magic.

However, this process can be ignored most of the time, because the freshmen have already chosen their professors before the semester starts, or in other words, the professors have chosen their students.

Just like Annan, he had already chosen to follow Duran before enrolling. Professor Marquez.

However, if he had not known Dulan, he would have passed the test of his magic qualifications when registering for school and was favored by other professors like other students.

"Magic schools across the country in Matatek, even those in the capital, all adopt this somewhat backward classical master-apprentice teaching method. Some people say that this is why the magic education here has been slow to improve. One of the reasons.”

As soon as the opening ceremony was over, Annan followed his teacher, Du Lan, to his magic research laboratory.

On the way, the two of them chatted without saying a word.

"Eureka in the north will actually adopt this system. However, it is not the case as soon as they enter school. Their education method is similar to that of ordinary universities. Magic apprentices will go to school after a period of open classes. Choose to follow a certain professor and continue to study a certain aspect of magic in depth."

The two of them were talking and unknowingly came to Dulan's magic research room and magic workshop in the school.

"There doesn't seem to be anyone else here."

Annan looked around curiously.

He had only been to the Magic Academy once before, and the place he went to was not the room used by Dulan. There was still something new here.

As for the others he was talking about, it wasn’t just the students studying with Tulan, but other teachers and students who utilized the building.

"All the students who studied with me before have graduated. You are the only student I need to teach this year. This is more convenient."

The project that Dulan chose to study was life-related magic. This was no longer an unbiased research project. It was simply a rare project that couldn't be more rare.

I don't know how there are students who are interested in this kind of magic research in other places, at least there are not many here, it can even be said that there is no one.

In addition, he did not specifically recruit other students, so the only one studying with him now is Annan.

"The school does not force every professor to teach students every year. Moreover, I have always chosen to be responsible for a large part of the school's public courses and required courses, so there is very little pressure."

Duran then explained why no one else was using the academic building.

It turns out that this three-story teaching building was a building that existed before the Magic Academy was established. It seems to be an official magician's magic workshop. After being included in the scope of the Magic Academy, it was renovated to become what it is today. appearance.

This is a relatively old place. Most professors prefer other newly built teaching buildings and generally do not come here to do business.

Dulan did not deliberately choose this place as his office location in the school. He has certain qualifications in this place and it is impossible for him to be ostracized. He simply prefers this environment.

"It's generally quiet here, which is perfect for quiet research and study."

"Right."

Annan nodded indifferently.

It's impossible for him to practice black magic in school anyway, the place is the same no matter what.

"This is where I will go to school in the future. Surprisingly, there is nothing too special about it."
