Several years had passed in the blink of an eye since that meeting.
For Benjamin, those years had not been easy.
Noren Workshop's enrollment reforms had already been rolled out in full.
Several years had passed since the first batch of students trained under the new system enrolled, and the actual results had far exceeded the initial expectations.
As expected, the number of new students had skyrocketed. What once required five or six consecutive recruitment drives to fill could now be completed in a single enrollment period.
Yet compared with the increase in quantity, the improvement in quality was even more astonishing.
The improvement in talent was something the wizards had already known about when the educational reforms were first proposed.
But only after experiencing it firsthand could one truly grasp just how staggering that improvement was.
The Blood Sacrifice Method forcibly raised an apprentice's talent to the theoretical limit of their current stage, turning Level 10 talent apprentices—who had once appeared only occasionally through sheer luck—into standard mass-produced equipment.
Although the improvement was not particularly great for the Logistics Department, for the Combat Department, which had the largest number of students, the rise in wizard apprentices' combat strength was plain for all to see.

The facts proved that this system was indeed viable.
