Chapter 15: Gusteco Mage Academy!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After paying the toll, John didn’t want to waste any more time.

He squeezed into the crowd with Amy and headed toward the Mage Academy.

Today was the registration day for the Gusteco Mage Academy!

After today, he would have to wait another year.

Moreover, under the current circumstances, John’s main goal was to get close to Tish, so he couldn’t miss today.

There were so many people in the queue that it wasn’t John and Amy’s turn until half an hour later.

Looking around, they saw a medieval-style gate open to them. Through the gate, they could see the luxurious academic buildings of the Academy.

However, these were only the tip of the iceberg of Gusteco Mage Academy.

The gate was heavily guarded, and no one who wasn’t here for the entrance test was allowed to enter the Academy!

“I’m here to register.”

“If you want to register, you have to pay ten gold coins first.”

As soon as John spoke, the guard immediately took out a money box. After hearing the other party’s words, John could not help but sigh at the treatment that mages received in this country.

An ordinary family would probably not even need two gold coins to eat, drink, and wear for an entire year. However, this was just an entrance test, and it actually cost up to ten gold coins!

This was equivalent to taking out all of their assets!

Even so, this place was still filled with people. Behind John, there was a long line of people.

This was because this was the only chance for the ordinary citizens of the city-state to change their fate!

In other countries, due to family reasons, even if one was very talented, they wouldn’t be able to receive the corresponding treatment and resources.

However, in this country, it was absolutely possible.

As long as one had the Talent of Magic, they only needed ten gold coins to change their fate in this country!

After handing over a total of twenty gold coins, the two entered the academy under the guidance of the soldiers.

The moment the two entered, John saw that the square of the school district was already filled with people.

Most of them were teenagers, but there were also some older people. Some of them were obviously old, but they still came here to take the test.

However, without exception, these people, whether they were commoners or nobles, all looked nervously at the tables in the distance below the academic building.

Under the guidance of the soldiers, John and Amy were assigned to the back of a relatively short line.

Not far from the crowd, a middle-aged mage was sitting on the other side of the table. There was a crystal ball on the table.

Without a doubt, this was a tool used to test a mage’s talent.

At that moment, there was a loud sound in the distance. Amy and John followed the sound and looked over.

On the right side of the crowd, there was a stone slab that looked like a human. It had many big and small potholes on it. However, it quickly returned to its original state.

Obviously, this was a magic tool used to test one’s talent.

Unfortunately, this young man didn’t have any Talent for Magic. Even if he attacked with all his strength, he could only leave a shallow fist hole. His hand was bleeding.

However, the fist pit disappeared in less than a second.

This also meant that this young man did not have any talent for a knight.

In the end, the young man could only leave this holy land dejectedly. It was an academy that could change a person’s life.

The surrounding people were comforting the young man and asking him to train more. However, some nobles were mocking him.

Because the noble families were rich in resources, they had received magic guidance, potions, and auxiliary training since they were young. Therefore, their Talent for Magic was much higher than the average person’s.

This kind of thing was common during the testing period.

Time gradually passed, and it was John and Amy’s turn.

So, the two came to the front and looked up to see the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man smiled kindly and said to Amy, who was in front of John:

“Hello, I’m your tester, Old Greensford. If you can pass the magic test, maybe I’ll become your teacher in the future. Come, now put your hand on the crystal ball.”

John noticed that there was a silver star badge on his chest, and there were two small stars in the square under the big star.

This meant that this middle-aged man was a Tier 2 Mage.

This was a little strange. If a Tier 3 Mage was placed in another place, he would definitely be the center of attention of tens of thousands of people.

A Tier 2 Mage was equivalent to an intermediate Gaia Knight who had just entered the threshold. Moreover, because the mage’s chanting speed was faster, his strength would be much stronger than a Gaia Knight’s!

However, in this Mage Academy, which was full of talented people, a Tier 2 Mage could only serve as a mere magic tutor!

There was a reason why this city-state was so powerful.

When Amy put her hand on the crystal ball, her psychic energy was channeled into the crystal ball like a surging sea.

In the next moment, the originally dim crystal ball slowly began to light up. At the sight of this scene, the surrounding people exclaimed in surprise.

“Wow!”

“Another genius who can become a Mage!”

“This young lady must be an aristocrat, or else how could she have such powerful psychic energy!”

When Old Greensford saw this scene, the glasses he was wearing also fell off.

Because the young lady in front of him not only qualified, but the crystal ball was still shining. This meant that her psychic energy was not limited to this!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the crystal ball became brighter and brighter as the psychic energy was absorbed, and finally, it was as bright as a light bulb!

“Good, good! Okay! Little Girl, you are qualified! From now on, you are a member of the Mage Academy!”

Seeing this, Old Greensford quickly stopped Amy, and at the same time, Amy was drained of her psychic energy, so she directly let go of the crystal ball.

“I… I’m qualified? Brother John, I’m qualified!”

Because he was in the academy, the name “Master” really made John feel strange, so they might as well enter the Mage Academy as a brother and sister.

At this moment, Amy felt very tired and sleepy, as if she was going to fall to the ground at any time.

When she was very young, his parents had tested her Talent for Magic for her. In terms of psychic energy, she was at most a Mage apprentice.

But today, after the test, she had reached the level of a Grand Mage!

Without a doubt, this was the credit of John’s soul contract!

At this moment, John caught Amy, who was falling toward him and pressed her plump chest against John’s body, causing jealousy and envy in the surrounding people.

At this moment, Amy slowly opened her eyes. When she realized the people around her, she blushed and immediately stood up.

“I’m so sorry, brother John.”

The person who was most happy to see this was not John, but Old Greensford!

Because, through their conversation, he could tell that they were brother and sister.

Then this brother’s Talent of Magic must be more powerful, right?

His sister’s Talent of Magic was at the level of a Grand Mage.

Even if the older brother is not, he most likely is a student with Mage talent, right?
