Researcher

"I didn't expect you to be promoted to Formal Mage before the assessment." Harbos said frankly.

"But I want to ask you now, you didn't use the potion to temporarily enhance Mental Power, right?"

"No." Fran replied.

Harbos continued to look at Fran and said:

"Then if you didn't use the potion that temporarily promoted Mental Power, that means you relied on your own Mental Power to directly reach the standard and then be promoted to Formal Mage, right?"

"That's right." Fran nodded, a little confused as to why Harbos wanted to repeat this matter.

"Then there is an opportunity now. If you really rely on your own Mental Power to be promoted, then you will meet the conditions required for this opportunity."

"Of course, you can still decide to go to the place I told you before. It won't be too late for you to make a decision after I finish telling you."

Harbos brought Fran to a small room. After they both sat on the chairs, Harbos continued:

"First of all, you must know that after becoming Formal Mage, you will need more resources to assist your promotion. It is difficult to promote Order by yourself."

"And resources are limited, even precious, and not all mages can get them."

"And allocating resources for promotion and giving these resources to mages who really have Talent and have made contributions is one of the important reasons for the establishment of the Alliance."

"After becoming Formal Mage, you will find that there are almost only three ways to obtain these resources in the Alliance."

"The first way is for managers to pass the assessment of School or the Alliance to manage the Alliance's huge land, and through this merit, they can exchange for resources for promotion."

"Although I can recommend you to participate, I don't think you are willing to choose this road. This road is really a bit slow."

Harbos paused and then said:

"The second way is the Alliance's armed forces. You may not have heard of this, but in fact, the Alliance is not the only one in the mainland. There are still many forces that have friction with the Alliance."

"The unity of all Schools to resist powerful enemies is also one of the important reasons for the establishment of the Alliances."

"Of course, Grey Soil Province where we are located does not have this problem. There are basically no other forces that want to attack us, but this is not necessarily the case in other provinces."

"You may not have heard of the Alliance's mage group. They probably haven't recruited people from mainland provinces like this for thirty years."

"This path also obtains resources much faster than the previous path. After all, the risk is much higher."

"And people like you who became Formal Mage in Grey Soil Province should only be able to participate in the Investigator assessment of the Alliance."

Harbos then added, "Investigator The assessment not only tests your spell level, but also some other aspects. You may be unlucky and fail to pass."

Fran nodded on the chair, said nothing, and continued to listen to what happened next.

Harbos drank a glass of water and moistened his throat before continuing:

"Then there is the unique Profession of the mages--researcher. This is a Profession that does not exist outside of the Alliance."

"The spells released by mages do not exist innately. Many mages have slowly perfected them from the first spell, so that there are now many types of spells."

"Adjusting and modifying spells is the specialty of researchers. They may not be good at spell combat, but they must be very clear about the principles of spells."

"And understanding the principles of spell release is also something you must do when you advance to a higher level."

"So in the Alliance, almost half of the mages will work part-time as researchers. Only those who know that they have no hope of promotion will give up."

Then, Harbos pointed to the large machines outside the room that were still running, and then said:

"What I'm doing now is a spell inspired by your machine and still being developed."

Then Harbos sighed and continued:

"But because there are so many Schools of the Alliance, all Schools are wary of each other to prevent their unique knowledge from leaking out."

"From this, another new organizational form was born, that is, the society. Almost every School has its own unique society. There are also societies established jointly with several Schools, and there are also societies that specialize in the study of a certain kind of public magic."

"As long as you join one of these societies, you can say that you are a researcher."

"Of course, each School has more than ten unique societies. Not every society can redeem resources for promotion."

"Only those societies that really have thresholds and require assessment can be regarded as a real society, and only then will there be people who express their magical opinions in the society."

"The reward mechanisms of each society are very different, but generally as long as you publish something recognized by the members of the society, you can get the right to redeem key resources."

Harbos then pulled out a piece of paper from under the drawer, handed it to Fran, and asked her to read the contents carefully.

"And the place I told you earlier where you can learn a lot is a society. This society is very different. It allows all School mages to join."

"With Society President's internal efforts, some of School's spells can be spread within the society, but this also angered many School and prohibited their own mages from joining."

"This is the path I originally arranged for you. I know Society President there, and you only need to go there to join."

Immediately afterwards, Harbos changed the subject and continued:

"Also, your Mental Power directly meets the standards for promotion. This is very rare. In the history of magic, only a handful of people can achieve it."

"I can recommend you to Yobner Society, who is subordinate to Elemental School. Only Mental Power can directly promote Formal Mage there."

"That is also the core of Elemental School. As long as you join, you will definitely get the core seat of Elemental School."

Fran understands, Harbos wants him to think about Elemental School. If he really joins in, he will have direct access to Elemental School's core spells.

At the high level, these School will tighten the learning of related spells and are only open to themselves and those who have made significant contributions.

If Fran joins now, then when she reaches the advanced level, she won't have to worry about the high-level path, she will just have to study hard, but...

"I would rather join the society you mentioned that welcomes all School to join."

Fran has already tasted the attribute bonuses that multiple mages School can get together, and she doesn't want to give up just yet.

Harbos looked at her strangely, as if he had doubts about her choice, but he didn't say anything and just introduced the society.

"That society is called Northern Lands Society, and it is not in the territory of the Alliance..."
