The scene of Sylutia participating in the competition was watched by two professors in the audience. The more they watched, the more they liked it.
"Oh, it would be great if she enrolled in school this year." The old man among them couldn't wait any longer.
"Yes, such a good seedling, every time you stay outside for a day, you are afraid of being snatched away." The woman on the side also nodded.
"Mage Alliance has nearly 200,000 new students every year. Although the number is large, the number of Impact Sixth Order who are really promising may only be one in ten thousand. And there are many schools in the Alliance, and everyone wants to grab the best students."
Having excellent students not only increases the strength of the faction, but also allows someone to pass on the skills and things that one has studied throughout his life. Otherwise, when he grows old and dies, his life's research results will only be turned into complicated and obscure records. That kind of regret and loss is difficult for ordinary people to understand.
For Mage, about 70% of his life is spent on studying and improving his skills. It can be said that everything in his life, including status, strength, financial income, social respect, admiration from others, self-realization satisfaction, etc., all come from this.
If there is a lack of suitable students to pass on these skills, it can be said to be an extremely regrettable and uncomfortable thing. However, the skills related to Mage become more complex and obscure as they reach advanced levels. It requires learning a lot of prerequisite knowledge and theory, mastering and mastering advanced skills, and finally learning the core and essence parts. Therefore, it is not easy to find suitable students to pass on.
The reason why each school of the Mage Alliance was initially willing to spend a lot of resources to expand enrollment and train new people was to find as many suitable people as possible and pass it on. Otherwise, if there is a lack of schools that can master Core Secret Art candidates, they would face the problem of being lost within two generations, and then decline rapidly.
The richness and depth of knowledge are both the advantages and disadvantages of the Mage Alliance. The advantage is that the overall strength of the Mage Alliance is a level higher than that of the major surrounding forces the Alliance. However, the disadvantage is that there are too many and obscure knowledge theories. It is extremely difficult to pass them on, and it cannot be learned by just picking up an individual.
You can expect a genius who has never been to school to learn extremely difficult swordsmanship in a few days based solely on his talent, but you cannot expect him to understand theoretical books full of various formulas and symbols.
The second round of Freshman Tournament ended quickly. After winning three games, Sylutia decisively gave up the subsequent competition, because the remaining players were all elite third-level members of the Academy, and they were not something she could defeat in her current state. Even if she could win, she would probably have to use all her strength and expose a lot of her cards, but there is really no need for that now.
After receiving the reward voucher, Sylutia came to the library again as he wished, handed over the voucher, and then told the staff the two secret techniques of his choice.
"Okay, Miss Hedra, please wait a moment." The staff asked the girl to wait.
About ten minutes later, the staff member came over and informed Sylutia to go to the inheritance room.
"It's ready. Miss Hedra can just go directly. You are very lucky this time. The professor who recorded this secret skill is in school today because he is attending Silver Bell Festival, so you can directly ask him how to learn this secret skill."
"Learn the secret technique directly from the Rorick Academy's professor?" Sylutia was surprised. She thought she was just borrowing the inherited gems to sense the knowledge and complex feelings stored in them.
"Yes, this is more effective than using heritage gems. After all, the professor can give you live demonstrations and answer many questions." The staff looked congratulatory, and the two seniors on the other side also nodded.
"Don't worry, the professors are all very nice people, don't worry."
"Then I'll go over." The girl nodded and left with the staff.
After Sylutia left, Ticis and her grandma continued to sit in the lobby of the library waiting. Her grandma looked at the two students but hesitated to speak.
"You are here just for that child." She finally figured out the identity and purpose of the two of them.
"Ahem, senior, I don't quite understand what you are talking about." The young man on the side turned away.
"Haha, I am old, but I am not stupid either." The old lady shook her head.
"When you introduced yourself as a student of "Shadow Star First Class" before, I felt something was wrong."
"I'm afraid that child doesn't know what the level of students who get "Shadow Star First Class" every year is among their peers."
"According to the rules of the Academy, students who were in the third level when they first enrolled were promoted from "Shadow Star fifth level", but most people directly entered the fourth level before they were promoted to "second level", that is, they became "Gold Star is fifth grade, so it seems that "Shadow Star first grade" is just a third-level student, but in fact, those who can get this evaluation grade quickly at this stage are all geniuses among the students in the same batch, and the number is very small."
"You said that two of the most powerful and highly rated geniuses among their peers would actually get together at the same time, so leisurely and enthusiastically helping an unknown apprentice from another school. This kind of thing is a bit unusual when you think about it."
"Of course, I just thought at first that you just liked that child. After all, Hedra is indeed cute and has good strength. But you just said that the professor will teach you personally, so I immediately confirmed the guess that I gave up before."
"Let me guess which tutor or professor ordered you to come here, so you have such a luxurious lineup."
"Ahem." The two of them glanced at each other, feeling that they couldn't hide anything anymore.
"Senior, I can't hide this from you. My mentor is Professor Maledo, the powerful Mage who now masters "Steel Shadow Demon Hand" Core Secret Art." the young man introduced.
"My teacher is Professor Fukalian, and she is also the only inheritor of the "Phantom Dream Substitute" secret technique." The girl on the side also answered the introduction.
"It turns out it's these two... no wonder." The old lady thought for a while and stopped blaming.
The two of them saw the old man lost in memories, and now they became curious. After all, although the man in front of them was old, he still had the aura of Fifth Order, and he might have been a backbone figure in the Academy before.
"Senior, what is your name?" the two asked tentatively.
"Me... hehe, you go back and tell the teacher that I am the old tuner of "Gold-Refining Workshop", they will know."
"Gold-Refining Workshop?" The two of them were a little unfamiliar with this.
"It seems to be a workshop that specializes in making musical instruments, music boxes, and clocks." One of them remembered a little.
"That's right, this is a small workshop, and it rarely takes orders from outside now. It's normal that you don't know much about it." She touched her granddaughter beside her and recalled.
"But there was a short period of glory sixty years ago, when I got to know your teacher." She said and laughed, her face kind and peaceful.
"Now that Hedra has chosen the secret technique, it will probably take a lot of time to learn. My granddaughter and I won't wait any longer. We have to take her to have a good time today."
"When Hedra comes out, give her this business card and tell her that you are welcome to be a guest at "Gold-Refining Workshop" in the future." After saying that, the old man stood up and took Ticis beside him, asking her to say goodbye to the two of them.
"Say goodbye to my big brother and sister."
"Okay, bye brother and sister, Ticis is leaving first." She said timidly but seriously, and as soon as she finished speaking, she trotted to follow her grandma without looking back.
