The group continued chatting for a long while, discussing the benefits of magical organizations and their future plans. Lulugood chimed in, "I heard that Star of Flames is not only extremely powerful in combat magic, but also excels at alchemy. If I can join that organization, I'll not only be able to learn stronger offensive magic, but also gain access to more alchemical knowledge. That would be a double benefit for me."
Ang nodded as well. An organization like Star of Flames indeed possessed an extremely high reputation within the Empire. As a combat-oriented magical organization, it had not only cultivated many powerful mages, but also conducted extensive research and practical work in magical weapons and enchantment. For anyone wishing to improve their combat ability and magical equipment, it was an excellent choice.
"In short, we're all very confident about becoming formal mages," Gao An concluded. "After we break through, our goal will be to join these magical organizations as soon as possible. With their resources and support, we can increase our strength and bring greater benefits to our families."
Ang smiled and raised his glass in congratulations. "It sounds like your plans are clear and promising. I hope you all break through smoothly and join those top magical organizations soon."
They all raised their glasses, celebrating one another's future breakthroughs and growth. Amid the crisp clinking of glasses was their anticipation for the future and their firm confidence in their own strength.
Ang looked at them and felt happy for his friends as well. Becoming a formal mage was every magic apprentice's dream, and these friends of his were about to achieve that goal and step into a broader world in the days ahead.
This gathering gave Ang more to consider and adjust regarding his own future plans.
