Versatile Mage: I have a proficiency panel

Chapter 17 Genius is just the threshold to see me

After all the chaos, Zeng Yue collapsed on his seat with a swollen face. Although they were having fun, Lin Mo and the others did not forget their business. There was still some time before enrollment, so it was a good opportunity to introduce the Ancient Capital Academy to Bai Jue.

"Ajue, you should know the specialties of the ancient capital, right?" Lin Mo asked.

"I know, it's the undead." Bai Jue nodded and handed Zeng Yue a bottle of recovery potion.

"Everything in the Ancient Capital Academy is related to the undead. The amount of resources that can be obtained in the academy is determined by the number of undead that the students eliminate." Lin Mo began to introduce the Ancient Capital Academy.

"According to the dean, instead of letting students engage in meaningless sparring, it is better to let them focus their energy on the undead. There are endless undead on this land."

"The Ancient Capital Academy will use the number of undead killed as credits. The higher the credits, the higher the ranking. The top ranked ones will be nominated and reported. You know the battle of the national government, the nomination battle is to select the national government team members. As long as you are nominated, you will have the opportunity to represent the country in the competition. Those who want to obtain resources and nominations will squat outside the city wall every night as if they were injected with chicken blood."

"In addition to ranking based on this, the school will have students serve on the outer city wall every once in a while. This is a task that every student must complete, otherwise credits will be deducted."

"Credits are very useful in the ancient capital academy. In addition to being exchanged for various natural resources, they can also be exchanged for opportunities to practice in Yanta. You can think of Yanta as a place for cultivation, where you can speed up your cultivation..."

Bai Jue listened quietly, asking questions from time to time. After Lin Mo finished speaking, Bai Zhu and Jian Xiang added some more information, which gave him a deep understanding of the ancient capital academy from the inside out.

"It doesn't make any sense just by listening to it. Why not take Ajue to get used to the life with the undead attacking the city every day during the period before enrollment." Zeng Yue suggested.

"What do you think?" Lin Mo looked at Bai Jue.

"I think this is a good suggestion." Bai Jue agreed.

……

After having a good meal and tea, Bai Jue followed everyone to the outer city wall.

The Ancient Capital Academy's assigned duty location is at the northwest corner of the city. The number of undead here is not as many as in the other fronts, so it is more suitable for magic students to train and brush up their rankings.

Inside the city wall here is a residential area, mostly low-rise old houses. Looking from a high vantage point, this large block and urban area looks like a piece of tofu divided into squares.

The corner of the city wall is where the west city wall and the north city wall meet. The city wall is as spacious as a big road, and several cars can drive side by side on it without any problems.

The city wall is very straight. Standing at the corner of the city wall and looking in one direction, it feels like a straight highway is at the same height as the dense eaves, extending far and far away.

The city wall road was extremely long and you couldn't see the end at a glance. You could see the two rows of lights becoming increasingly dense and disappearing into the darkness.

At night, teams of mages could be seen guarding the entire city wall. From time to time, magical lights would shine in the darkness, like clusters of gorgeous fireworks blooming in the sky, but soon a noise would be heard from the ground outside the city wall, and the flesh and blood of the undead would fly everywhere in the darkness.

The corner tower was built right at the intersection of the city roads. It was probably used for supply and rest. This was also where Lin Mo and the others wanted to bring Bai Jue.

On the top of the corner tower stands an observation tower, guarded by a Sky Eagle Mage. His white Sky Eagle stands on the top of the tower, with its wings folded up, but its sharp eyes stare into the distance. Even though it is still early, it is still doing its duty. Walking into the corner tower, there are some people walking around, association mages, hunting mages, military mages, traveling mages, students... It looks like a small post station, with stalls selling medicines, magic tools, and newly obtained spoils.

"Ajue, do you have a wizard badge? The Magic Association has a rule here that badges must be worn. It's still early now, we can go and get one now." Halfway through the journey, Lin Mo suddenly remembered something and asked Bai Jue.

"Yes." Bai Jue nodded and took out a music badge from the storage magic tool. The pattern on it was similar to the shape of a musical instrument such as the guqin, representing that he was a mid-level wizard. The three musical notes represented that he had reached the third level.

The badges of the sound system are different from the badges of the elemental magic system. What distinguishes the levels is not the patterns of stardust and nebulae, but specific musical instruments: elementary wind instruments, intermediate plucked instruments, advanced stringed instruments, and super-level percussion instruments.

In short, it was all fancy and it opened Bai Jue's eyes when he first learned about it.

"Intermediate level three... It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others!" Zeng Yue sighed. Although he knew before that Bai Jue had broken through to the intermediate level, he still had an inexplicable feeling that he had been surpassed in realm. You know, he is two years older!

“We ordinary geniuses shouldn’t compare ourselves with monsters like Ajue. Compared with our peers, we are far ahead of them!” Lin Mo looked at him in a carefree manner, and Jian Xiang nodded in agreement.

"There's a saying that goes... Genius is just the threshold to see me!" Zeng Yue nudged Bai Jue with his shoulder. "We didn't make it to the last National Government because our cultivation was not good enough. This time, Ajue, you can definitely participate. I want to see you say this on TV, okay?"

"Genius is just the threshold to meet me. Congratulations on passing the test, but that's all." Bai Jue thought for a moment and put on a pretentious posture.

"Is this okay?"

"Yes, yes, that's it... Ouch, Jian Xiang, why did you hit me?" Zeng Yue covered his head in pain.

Jian Xiang rubbed her fingers that were a little painful from the recoil, rolled her eyes at Zeng Yue in annoyance, and then said to Bai Jue, "Ajue, don't listen to him, he just knows how to stir up trouble."

Lin Mo listened with a smile, and led the team through the crowd and came to an adjacent room. There were several people sitting in the room. Some of them were from colleges as you could tell from their attire, with school badges pinned on their chests.

"Are you here?" A hunter mage in his thirties or forties wearing the hunter's badge glanced at the person who came in and nodded to Lin Mo. He was the leader of this group of students. The school was very thoughtful and would arrange someone with more experience to command the students on how to fight against the undead, and also act as a protector.

"Uncle Ming, this time our team brought a friend who is at the intermediate level three in the music department. It doesn't violate the rules, right?" Lin Mo asked.

"No violation. The ancient capital welcomes mid-level mages from all sides to fight against the undead."

The hunter's gaze rested on the badge worn by Bai Jue, and then looked at his young face, and he couldn't help but sigh that the young are indeed formidable.

"Instructions from above will be coming down soon. Please sit over there and wait for a while."
