Chapter 39 Benefits of a Second-Class Wizard Apprentice

In the central area of the port city, in the central building of the public classroom of Lilith Hut, Locke walked into the office of the resident teacher of the Everything Class, Sassari, a first-class wizard apprentice.

Sassari is also the resident teacher of the Basic Magic Mechanics course, one of the three basic public courses. He is also a dark elf, a minority race in the academy.

Sassari looked at the application Locke handed him and raised his eyebrows. “I remember you haven’t been to my Basic Magic Mechanics class for almost a week.”

“I didn’t expect you to have become a second-class wizard apprentice.”

“I remember you only came to our academy last year, and your qualifications are not above level 5. I remember the names of wizard seedlings with qualifications above level 5…”

“Right now, those wizards who arrived last year with level five qualifications haven’t even become second-class wizard apprentices yet…”

Sassari looked at Locke with an inquiring expression, full of curiosity.

As a first-class wizard apprentice at Lilith Cottage Academy, he would naturally show curiosity about this slightly unusual situation.

Locke didn’t take it seriously, as he had Teacher Sophia to back him up. “Well, Teacher Sophia said I might have a special talent that wasn’t detected when I enrolled.”

“My magic power is naturally much more stable than others.”

Sassari nodded immediately, a look of astonishment on his face, not dwelling on it any further. “Is that so? Then you’re quite lucky.”

“This rate of progress is almost catching up with that of a Level 6 wizard.”

“Mana stability… I see. Your talent is best suited for development in potions, alchemy, and enchantment.”

“I remember that Lady Sophia is a first-level potion master and breeder, and the All Things class I teach happens to be a prerequisite for these two courses.”

Sassari simply wrote his name on the application form. “Since this is what Lady Sophia wants, there’s no need for me to review it again and again.”

“Go to the payment counter outside and pay the magic stones.”

The Everything Class is considered an advanced course. Even if a third-class wizard apprentice has so many magic stones and wants to learn in advance, he will generally be stopped by the resident teacher.

After all, the wizarding world is not a safe and harmless world.

For wizards without sufficient magical powers, even just attending many courses is dangerous.

Young wizards often have several training contracts related to the academy. Lilith Hut naturally doesn’t want to see young wizards die in vain in the classroom.

Moreover, those first-class wizard apprentices who accepted the tasks of the academy also felt that it was troublesome if someone died or something happened in their class, so they would conduct certain threshold audits on their courses.

Only with their signatures could Locke pay the fee and take the course.

Locke saluted the dark elf Sassari (low-level wizard apprentices in the academy need to perform basic etiquette to senior wizard apprentices), turned around and left his office.

Locke walked to another wooden house and reluctantly handed 150 magic stones to a second-class wizard apprentice at the payment counter.

The second-class wizard apprentice checked the magic stone and the application form, confirmed the signature, and said to Locke in a gentle tone: “Augustine, okay, I have registered your name. From now on, you can go to the Everything Class.”

Locke nodded to him and turned to leave.

Next, instead of returning to the Dwarven Street, he walked to a street in the port city, stopped a two-wheeled cart pulled by a lizardman, and got on. “Go to Anvil Square in the southeast.”

The registration place for Lilith’s Lodge is located on Anvil Square.

The lizardman driver, seeing the wizard apprentice robes Locke was wearing, immediately said respectfully, “Yes, Master Wizard.”

About half an hour later, Locke arrived at Anvil Square and entered a wooden house on Anvil Square that was protected and hidden by a barrier.

After explaining his purpose, Locke used the amethyst matrix at the registration office to conduct a mental power test, and the number [54] popped up on it.

“My mental power has increased a bit. That’s right, it should be because I learned the magic flame spell model, which increased my mental power a bit.” Locke thought, “Also, in the past five days, I have completely digested the strange substance of the rose-red gem that remained in my mental power.”

“So I passively increased my mental strength.”

“I don’t know what the strange substance in the rose-red gem is, but it can actually improve the mental strength of a wizard apprentice. I’m already a second-class wizard apprentice, and it can still be improved.”

Locke thought: “Although the speed is not as good as before, it is only one third of the previous speed.”

“The Everything Class is a general course that teaches people about everything. I hope that by taking this class, I can understand what the special substance inside the Rose Red Gem is.”

Locke didn’t dare to do so, so he took out the rose-red gem and showed it to Teacher Sophia.

After all, he couldn’t explain the origin of this precious jade, nor did he know how much it was worth, or whether it would attract the attention of official wizards.

A halfling second-class wizard apprentice at the registration office was stunned for a moment after seeing the numbers on the amethyst matrix, and then a warm smile appeared on his face.

Halflings are a subspecies of humans, a special race that only appears in the middle-magic area like the Southeast Corner. They are generally not as tall as a ten-year-old human child, but their personalities are more cunning and smooth.

The halfling second-class wizard apprentice said to Locke, “Congratulations, congratulations, senior. I see that you only came to our academy last year, but it only took you one year to become a second-class wizard apprentice.”

“This speed is really amazing.”

“I think you will definitely become a first-class wizard apprentice in the future.”

Locke was stunned for a moment when he heard him call him senior, then he immediately realized that in the wizarding world, the one who is more successful comes first, and secondly, the other party is trying to please him.

Although they are all second-class wizard apprentices, the halfling wizard apprentice in front of him is over fifty years old, with white hair and wrinkles on his face.

Only this kind of second-class wizard apprentice who has given up would not serve as an assistant in the laboratories or shops of the first-class wizard apprentices and formal wizards, but would waste his life in places like the registration office.

Therefore, his status is very different from mine, so he would naturally call me senior and try to please me.

Of course, this should also be a form of self-protection.

Other second-class wizard apprentices who were promoted quickly might not be as easy to talk to as he was.

The halfling second-class wizard apprentice respectfully handed Locke a school badge representing Lilith’s Hut. “Senior Augustine, this is our school’s badge. Second-class wizard apprentices will wear it on their wizard robes.”

“To identify myself.”

“Secondly, it can be entered and exited. Only second-class wizard apprentices can enter and exit the place.”
