In the reception hall.
Seamus and Ian sat facing each other.
"Congratulations again on entering the Cultivation Sequence. Next, I'll give you a detailed introduction to its benefits," Seamus said.
Ian immediately grew serious.
Hadn't he worked so hard for so long precisely for this?
Seamus smiled and began his explanation.
"The Cultivation Sequence was established by the Academy to further select Wizards with superior qualifications and talent, so it receives many preferential benefits.
"First are resources. You may claim thirty Magic Stones each month free of charge, apply for corresponding resources, and purchase all of them at cost price.

You may claim three excellent-grade spells and pieces of knowledge each year, and you also gain the right to purchase them at half price. You may claim one outstanding-grade spell each year, as well as purchase three additional ones annually.
"On the Library's second underground floor, you receive access to ordinary-grade Wizardry and knowledge, available for purchase at half price. You may purchase three excellent-grade items each year and one outstanding-grade item each year.
