Chapter 289 Policy

"Raven Feather? Trial?" Enzo frowned.

Because he had been practicing hard in the Tomb of the Illusion Raven for a year, Enzo knew nothing about the outside world. The words spoken by Carl made him feel extremely unfamiliar.

Beside him, Carl had already left with his luggage.

Enzo shook his head and said to himself, "Forget it, I will have time to inquire about the news later. Now I'd better take a rest and then visit Gustav, the mentor."

Opening the door of the dormitory, Enzo walked in.

Compared with before, the dormitory has not changed much, but there is more dust. Enzo casually released a cleaning witchcraft, and the room was instantly refreshed.

Then, he came to the window, opened the window, and his mind moved.

A moment later, in the sky not far away, a black shadow flew over quickly, passed through the window and fell to the ground, stumbling and turning into a golden retriever without a tail.

"Woo! You are finally back, Enzo." The golden retriever seemed very excited and kept nudging him with his head.

"It seems that your appetite should be good during the year I was away." Enzo chuckled, looked at the bloated body of the golden retriever, and touched its head.

After a year of hard training in the Tomb of the Crow, Enzo could not bring Swain with him.

So before going to the Tomb of the Crow, he left Swain free in the academy and asked Bourne to help take care of him. The Tinos Crow, who had not been seen for a year, seemed to have gained a lot of weight.

"Woo! Bourne gave me a lot of delicious food." The golden retriever stuck out his tongue and said excitedly, "During the time you were away, I have passed the larval stage and now have several illusion forms!"

"I can turn into an elephant, do you want to see it?"

As he said that, the golden retriever took a few steps back and stood up on his legs, as if he was going to turn into an elephant in the room in the next moment, which frightened Enzo and stopped him quickly.

"You will have a lot of time in the future to show me your transformation form, but now you should restore your body."

With a bang!

The golden retriever turned into a black-feathered crow, flapping its wings and landing on Enzo's shoulder.

"Next, let's go visit the mentor."

Enzo thought for a moment, then left the dormitory. Following the direction in his memory, he soon arrived at the northern area of ​​the academy, outside the tower belonging to Gustav.

"Instructor Gustav has been promoted to a second-level wizard!"

"According to the rules of the academy, he is already qualified to establish a wizard family, but with the personality of the mentor, after the deaths of seniors Gumondo and Byron, he should not have such an idea in a short time."

Gustav's tower has changed a lot compared to before.

Enzo originally planned to enter it directly, but after getting closer, he found that the door at the entrance of the tower was locked, and a copper ring of an alien beast was hung on it.

Dongdongdong!

He moved the copper ring and knocked, and the alien beast on the door floated a white light, and the obsidian eyeball opened, as if alive, projecting a ray of light, scanning Enzo's whole body.

"New visitor, please wait patiently!" The copper ring of the alien beast made a dull sound.

"Magic item?" Enzo raised his eyebrows. The beast copper ring on the gate at the entrance of the tower seemed to be a magical item, with a function similar to the Twilight Eye of Thunder City.

A moment later, the gate was opened.

A little head poked out through the gap between the doors.

"Excuse me, who are you looking for?" The owner of the voice was a girl who looked only eleven or twelve years old. She had long silver-white hair, a sweet and lovely appearance, and was wearing a white apprentice robe.

"Where is Gustav?" Enzo asked with a frown.

"My mentor is out on a mission. May I ask who you are?" The silver-haired girl asked timidly.

"Your mentor? Gustav has accepted a new female disciple?" Enzo raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion, "My name is Enzo, and I am the second disciple of Gustav!"

"Senior Enzo?"

The silver-haired girl's eyes lit up, opened the door, and introduced herself, "Hello, senior, my name is Sonya, and I am the sixth disciple of Gustav!"

"Sixth disciple? So, the mentor accepted four disciples in one year?" Enzo was a little surprised.

"That's right, senior, please come in first." Sonya nodded, motioned Enzo to enter the tower, and then took him to a quiet room, serving tea and water.

"It seems that Gustav has been very busy this year!" Sitting on the sofa, Enzo picked up the tea and took a sip.

"In fact, not only Gustav, but other mentors in the academy have been very busy since the war between the three major organizations ended." Sonya stood respectfully on the side.

"Tell me, what happened in the past year?"

Enzo put down the teacup in his hand and asked softly, "I heard an apprentice say before, what is the 'crow feather' and 'trial'? How could the mentor accept four disciples in a year?"

"This is the policy of the academy!"

Sonia explained, "Due to the previous war, the academy lost a lot of apprentices and wizards. In order to restore the academy as soon as possible, the dean issued a policy."

"The dean distributed a lot of 'crow feathers' in the Dark Pole. Whether it is a wandering apprentice or a member of a wizard family, as long as they can get a crow feather, they can go to [Crow Phantom] and get a chance to 'trial'!"

"And if someone can pass the academy's trial, they can become a true member of [Crow Phantom]!"

"So that's how it is." Enzo nodded slightly, and immediately understood what the crow feather and the trial were about.

The war caused the academy to suffer a great loss of vitality. In order to recover as soon as possible, the dean decided to absorb a group of fresh blood, and use crow feathers to set obstacles, plus trials for screening, to ensure the quality of members joining the academy.

"So. The teacher accepted you as disciples, is it also the dean's order?" Enzo asked again.

"Yes, every teacher in the academy has a task target and must accept a certain number of disciples." Sonya nodded and said softly: "In fact, under normal circumstances, every first-level wizard-level mentor needs to accept at least five apprentices as disciples, and the second-level wizard is ten people."

"Gustav mentor still has six targets to complete, but he doesn't seem to like too many people in the tower, so he would rather go out to perform tasks to offset the targets, and he doesn't agree to the academy to give him more apprentices."

"It sounds like the personality of the mentor." Enzo smiled bitterly.

After spending so much time together, Enzo had a certain understanding of Gustav's temperament. Although he took feelings very seriously, his personality was somewhat indifferent and he was unwilling to form ties with too many people.

Before the war, he had been a first-level wizard for a long time, but he only accepted two disciples in total.
