Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1619 The Difference Between Warlocks and Mages
Lin Lan and the three Sardinian ship girls, who had already left the square, naturally had no idea what was happening in the south square of the academy town.

All his thoughts were focused on the upcoming reunion with Littorio, Empire and Vincenzo.

As they got closer and closer to the teaching area, shops gradually opened on the street, and there were more and more students of various professions and faculty and staff of ordinary colleges.

Lin Lan has noticed that not all faculty and staff of the academy are powerful people who possess extraordinary powers. There are also many alien students who do not hide their alien features and walk on the streets with smiles on their faces just like human students.

Some clerical workers, handymen, and professional mentors with little combat power, such as pharmacists, also received polite greetings from many students.

This shows that the Paladin Academy also attaches great importance to non-combat knowledge areas and the moral education of students.

However, problems such as the internal distribution of resources within the school remain only within the internal circle of tutors and have not affected the energetic students.

In the traditional Natlan sect, it is basically difficult for mortals who cannot cultivate the power of the limit to communicate with those who reach the limit on an equal footing.

The struggles among different factions of elders within a sect will also make most disciples of the sect only recognize their own master.

It was only when the Northern Union and the Donghuang ship girls formed the Spark Column that Natlan's traditional thinking was broken.

The prosperous scene inside the Saint Lothal National Academy of Paladins is enough to prove that the dean's ideal has taken shape.

Even though the current atmosphere of equality among students of all races in the Paladin Academy is just a spark in the cradle, you must know that a single spark is enough to start a prairie fire.

After having breakfast in a private room of a restaurant, Lin Lan put on his mask again and walked towards the teaching area with the three Sardinian ship girls.

The sky was already bright at this time, but he found that most of the greetings he received from the students and faculty were cautious and fearful.

In order to avoid wasting time with unnecessary explanations, he basically just nods and waves his hands to get by.

Cavour had already told him that there were only two grand sorcerer mentors in the academy.

Moreover, these two warlock mentors are both nearly a hundred years old. Most of the teaching tasks are handed over to the ordinary warlock mentors under their command, and most of the time they spend recuperating in the branch campus.

As for why these students and faculty members were so cautious and subtle when they saw him coming, the little battleship girl also explained the reason to him in detail when no one was around:

"You can't really blame them, Commander.

“Although the profession of warlock does not require a long period of study like the mage, it also does not require chanting time to cast spells.

“But the upper limit of a warlock has already been fixed when his innate magic power awakens, and there is little room for improvement.

“What the warlock mentors have to do is just to teach the students how to control the power in their bodies so that it won’t be backfired, and to make the released power more stable.

“Every year, disasters caused by warlocks’ uncontrolled awakening power within the country of Teaching cause hundreds of innocent casualties.

"Because of this, warlocks are often considered a symbol of disaster. The bird-beak mask I prepared for the commander is also a standard identification for warlocks when they go out."

Thanks to the information collected and transmitted by Littorio from the Paladin Academy, the Sardinian ship girls are basically familiar with the characteristics of each profession of Saint Losoron.

Lin Lan also gradually learned that the warlock was a member of the Paladin Academy. No, to be more precise, it was the profession with the smallest number of people among all the professions in the Saint Lothalon continent.

Especially the warlocks who can enter the legendary level are rare in the history of Saint Lothalon continent.

Most highly talented warlocks are often torn apart by the violent magic power in their bodies when they awaken.

To control or even harness such violent mana in the body, it takes a long time to accumulate and countless life-and-death attempts. The Paladin Academy's way of educating warlocks is to let high-level warlocks teach the power control skills they have summarized, and to ensure that the young warlock students who enter the school will not be backfired by the power in their bodies.

"When... when... when..."

When Lin Lan and the three Sardinian ship girls arrived at another street corner of the academy town, the sound of bells like those from a church rang out slowly, and the main entrance of the teaching area finally appeared in front of them.

A white building like a triumphal arch stands at the end of the main road. Behind the door is the real Paladin Academy campus.

This main road leading to the main entrance of the teaching area is already crowded with many students rushing to their early classes, making it extremely lively.

"Have you heard that today's enrollment examination will be observed by big shots from the High Tower and the Holy Light Church!
"It's boring. It's not like the chosen magician of God is here in person. What does a big shot have to do with us?"

"You can't just meet the God-chosen magician whenever you want. Once my place in the training camp is approved, I will definitely go to various parts of the continent to look for the God-chosen magician!"

"You should first think about whether you can pass the integrated team battle. Grand Instructor Littorio has made a stern statement. If anyone in the Warrior Branch Campus fails in the integrated team battle this year, the amount of daily training will be doubled!"

"There will also be a comprehensive team battle in the enrollment examination. You only have one weapon enchanting class this morning anyway, so let's go and see the level of the new students after class."

……

The sounds of conversations among students of various professions walking into the campus made Lin Lan's mouth twitch again.

Judging from the current trend, he seriously suspected that if he had traveled through time two years later, he would have been dug out by the graduates of the Paladin Academy in Oran.

"Commander, we don't need to enter the campus through the main gate. It will be faster to go through the side gate."

Cavour seemed to have not expected that there would be so many students at the main entrance today. He pulled at the corner of his clothes and spoke to him in a low voice.

Lin Lan nodded, and was about to cross the main entrance and head to the side door under the guidance of the three Sardinian ship girls...

"Ok?"

He suddenly seemed to realize something and turned his head slightly. His eyes from behind the mask seemed to penetrate the curtain and lock onto the depths of the teaching area.

"What a coincidence."

A low laugh escaped his lips, but he did not stop, but continued to walk across the street with his three Sardinian ship girls.

He was originally a little curious about who the legendary wizard of the tower would be who came to the Paladin Academy for observation today.

The result was something he found funny.

The legendary wizard of the High Tower who came to observe in the academy was none other than the legendary wizard of the High Tower's war faction and the leader of the school of illusion, Omelia Zeka, whose life he had held in his hands.

Not only that, except for Omelia, there is not only one legendary wizard of the tower in the main campus academy today.

But there are as many as three.

“I don’t know if the other two legendary wizards were the Grand Master Wizards who originally stayed in the academy, or if they were Omilia’s disciples.

"But if these two legendary wizards are the leaders of the High Tower School like Omelia... heh, that would be interesting."
