Saine will definitely have to sign the enrollment contract. →

Even with Johnny, Second-Level Magician, as his introducer, he could not violate this rule of the academy.

Speaking of Johnny, Second-Level Magician, Saine roughly understood what the position of the other party's Grade Director was.

In the Azure Source Holy Tower Academy, besides the tower master, there are three Third-Level Great Magician serving as deans on the top floor.

These three great Mage are usually elusive, and even first-level Formal Magician rarely come into contact with them, let alone apprentices like Saine.

Those who truly made a significant appearance in front of students like Saine, besides the Formal Magician teaching at the Azure Source Holy Tower Academy, included Grade Director like Johnny.

The Azure Source Holy Tower has been established for over two hundred years, and the Holy Tower Academy has also developed for over two hundred years.

Every ten years, the Azure Source Holy Tower Academy selects a Second-Level Magician as the person in charge to help the three deans manage the apprentices and supervise the teaching process of the academy's Formal Magician.

Based on the maximum time ordinary apprentices can stay in the Azure Source Holy Tower, there seem to be seven or eight Grade Director like Johnny.

As for the "Regional Holy Tower Academy War" mentioned by the Mage Johnny when he left, it is an apprentice trial jointly organized by the Azure Source Holy Tower and several Holy Tower in the surrounding areas, which is held once every fifty years.

According to the Mage Irene, the Azure Source Holy Tower didn't seem to perform very well in the last Regional Holy Tower Academy War.

Therefore, in the face of the next Regional Holy Tower Academy War, both Johnny, the Grade Director, and the three deans of the academy attach great importance to this result.

From this perspective, even without Master Midiqi's token, Saine would most likely be able to Azure Source Holy Tower as Advanced Apprentice two years later.

Of course, starting school two years earlier is definitely a good thing.

For Mage, time is money.

With these two years of advanced study and learning, it's unknown how much Truth, mystery, and elemental knowledge Saine has mastered.

A difference of two years can sometimes represent a lifetime.

For example, during the Regional Holy Tower Academy War, if Saine can make a name for himself and gain attention from the Holy Tower Master and even higher levels of vision.

This will undoubtedly benefit his future development and his path to becoming Formal Magician.

"Alright, this is your Apprentice Dormitory."

"Public courses will begin next week, including some that you're interested in."

"As for the courses, you can go and attend them directly." The Mage Irene said as she escorted Saine to a rather quiet detached dormitory building.

By now, the other party has basically completed the enrollment procedures for Saine.

With the reputation of Master Johnny and the guidance of the Mage Irene, Saine's enrollment process was basically smooth sailing.

In addition, even the detached dormitory building in front of us is something that ordinary Advanced Apprentice can't enjoy. →

The dormitory building in front of us has three floors. Although the interior space of the Azure Source Holy Tower Academy is very large, such a stand-alone dormitory is bound to be a scarce resource.

If it weren't for the help of the Mage Irene, Saine, as a new apprentice, would certainly not have enjoyed such treatment.

Saine was naturally aware of this, and also considered that the Mage Irene had been busy for quite some time.

After respectfully expressing his gratitude, Saine thought for a moment and took out ten Magic Coin from his Space Bracelet to offer as a gift.

During the day, while in the commercial street of the outer island, Saine had no interest in spending ten Magic Coin to buy a Qing Yu Flower Spirit as a slave.

However, Saine is now willing to use ten Magic Coin to thank a Formal Magician, which Saine considers a normal investment.

Its benefits are far greater than those of Qing Yu Flower Spirit.

When faced with the Magic Coin that Saine pulled out, the Mage Irene was taken aback.

The female Mage with long, flowing blonde hair chuckled, "I didn't realize you were so wealthy, little one."

"Indeed, with Second-Level Magician Mage Midiqi and Johnny as your backers, your background must be quite impressive Mage, right?"

Faced with Irene 'Mage question with a smile, Saine only gave a subtle smile and did not reply.

Without any pretense, the Mage Mage Irene the ten Magic Coin from Saine and said, "However, you'd better not squander your money. Ten Magic Coin are enough to cover the cost of two ordinary magic courses."

"I live on the 76th floor of the Holy Tower. If you have any minor issues that you don't want to bother Director Johnny with, you can come to me."

"I will help as appropriate," said the Mage Irene with a slight smile.

After Saine expressed his gratitude to the Formal Magician once again, the man left directly.

Watching the Mage Irene leave, Saine muttered to himself, "Do all Formal Magician of level one and above reside in the Holy Tower?"

"I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to become one of them in the future?"

On his second day at the Azure Source Holy Tower, Saine began his fulfilling academy life.

Since the general education courses won't start until next week, Saine went to the college library first.

As a Holy Tower Academy, the library of the Azure Source Holy Tower is more than a hundred times larger than that of the City of Mozhsuobula Black Magic Academy!

Mage truly deserve to be called the beings who value knowledge and the Truth Arcana most.

As a treasure trove of knowledge, the library, thanks to the extravagant investment of the Azure Source Holy Tower, is almost half the size of the Black Wizard Academy where Saine previously studied.

The vast Holy Tower Library, and the immense amount of knowledge it contains, is definitely not something that a mere junior apprentice Saine could possibly absorb and master.

Even those Formal-Ranked Magician cannot possibly be fully familiar with all the knowledge of each element.

Aside from the more common knowledge of the four elements: wind, fire, earth, and water.

Saine also found a large number of books in the library, including those on the light, dark, lightning, Necromancy Element, Plant Element, Summoning Element, and even Astrology Element.

There are even large bookshelves dedicated to knowledge in fields such as alchemy, potion-making, and Magic Element Array.

This is the foundation that a Holy Tower Academy should possess!

As for other aspects, Saine is not yet clear.

But even the Holy Tower Library before us contains an abundance and comprehensiveness of knowledge.

It is absolutely incomparable to organizations such as the Ring of Thorns, the Saint Harmony Society, and the Fire Crest Chapter within the Lisia Alliance.

Of course, there is a price to pay for borrowing these books.

Besides Academy Points, which are awarded only upon completing Apprentice Mission, another way to borrow books is by spending Magic Coin.

Even with his fortune of several hundred Magic Coin, Saine couldn't support his extravagant spending.

This also shows how expensive knowledge is.

"It seems I need to focus my learning on a specific area from now on."

"There are also the college's general courses, although they seem to be aimed at apprentices at the intermediate and lower levels."

"But there should also be some courses that will be useful to me," Saine mused.
