Chapter 110 Seres Academy of Magic

The carriage clattered and clattered as it headed out of the city.

"Miss, you're being too kind to this Google expert."

In the car, the butler who had been following Gerica said in a voice devoid of any emotion, "Leaving aside his future achievements, even if he really becomes a restoration master, it won't be of much help to you."

Unlike professions such as "Potion Master", "Alchemist", and "Rune Master", the "Repair Craftsman" profession has a limited potential.

To draw an analogy, even the world's best repairman has limited value to a wealthy person.

"Butler Rob," Gerica said calmly, her tone more composed than the butler's, "not all good intentions need to be mixed with self-interest."

"He repaired the 'lake heart' that my mother left me, and that's enough for me." Gerica gazed absently at the scenery rushing past the window.

"I overstepped my bounds." The butler admitted his mistake without batting an eye, and sighed inwardly as he looked at the young lady, whose mind seemed to be wandering to the scenery outside the window.

In fact, her father, Lord Haines, had long ago said he would send Gerika to the Seres Magic Academy to study, but Gerika had always refused.

This time, it was actually Gerica who took the initiative to ask Lord Haynes if she could study at the Seres Magic Academy.

As Gerica's personal butler, he knew the reason all too well.

It was because of the "accident" that broke Miss's heart that Gerica wanted to leave that vortex temporarily and come to Saint-Sien, far away from Bremen.

Originally, Miss didn't have many thoughts about this, but you all forced her to come here.

With Miss's magical talent, leaving Bremen and entering the Seres Magic Academy is not about moving away from the center of power, but rather the right path she should take.

A temporary departure is only for a stronger return.

Because, in the end, this world still belongs to mages.

You will definitely regret what you did today in the future.

"But there has never been a saying that a woman cannot be the city lord," the loyal steward thought to himself.

Gao De ultimately chose to stay at the Haines Hotel.

Since we have accepted the silver card from Miss Gerica, it means we have already accepted this favor.

If you've already accepted a favor, wouldn't it be foolish not to enjoy it?

Not far from the airship base, Gaode Maps spotted the familiar, friendly, and affordable "public carriages."

After asking the staff for some information, he boarded a carriage that would pass by the Haynes Inn.

Thanks to the Silver Card, Gaode ultimately secured a deluxe room for 4 Silver Cards per night, which would normally cost 8 Silver Cards per night.

At the same time, as a silver cardholder, I was able to borrow a simple map of Saint-Sien from the staff for free.

However, he only took a brief look to get a general understanding of the situation in Saint-Sien City.

Gaode doesn't intend to spend much time figuring out the geography, customs, and culture of Saint-Cyrne.

Because his goal for this trip was exceptionally clear:

Cyrus Academy of Magic.

The beginning of the Frost Moon each year marks the start of the open enrollment period for the Seres Magic Academy.

On this day, countless mages will flock to the Seres Magic Academy to undergo the academy's examination in order to join it.

Once you join the Cyrus Academy of Magic, it's like a meteoric rise to the top.

The only age restriction for the entrance examination at the Cyrus Academy of Magic is that mages over the age of thirty will not be admitted.

Apart from that, there are not many other restrictions.

In other words, as long as you are under thirty years old, you can even participate in the assessment every year if you wish.

Everyone has a tendency to take chances: I failed the assessment last year, maybe I'll meet the requirements this year?

Moreover, there are precedents of mages who have participated in the assessment multiple times and finally succeeded in entering the Cyrus Magic Academy.

Therefore, the enrollment day of the Seres Magic Academy is nothing short of a major annual festival for young mages in Saint Sein City and even the surrounding cities, and it is very lively.

This is also a win-win situation.

Multiple assessments ensure that the college will not miss out on talented individuals who have accumulated knowledge and skills and are ready to unleash their potential later in life.

For individuals, one failure does not necessarily mean certain death; there is always a chance to turn things around.

Therefore, every year during the Frosty Month, many monks would come from other places.

"That's just like in my previous life," Gao De remarked instinctively upon realizing this.

On Earth, September is also the month when new students enroll in school every year.

It is now the 1st of the Dark Moon, and there is still one month until the enrollment day of the Cyrus Magic Academy.

Of course, Gaode Maps certainly doesn't plan to wait until then.

Rules are always made for those who follow them.

Just like Gerica and the other two members of the Haynes family, they do not need to follow this rule, nor do they need to follow this time.

Although Gaode doesn't have that background, he does have a "letter of recommendation without examination".

The Cyris Academy of Magic is located atop Mount Cyris, outside the city of Saint Sein.

The name of the college comes from this.

In addition, it is also known as the Royal Academy of Magic, and was built by order of Jeros I, the founding emperor of the Duchy of Sien, with construction starting on the same day as the royal capital, Saint Sien.

At the same time, it is also the only magic academy in the Principality of Xin.

Since the founding of the Duchy of Sien, it has supplied the duchy with the majority of high-level mages.

In terms of both strength and status, the Seres Magic Academy is the premier magic power in the Principality of Xinen.

Almost all eligible mages in the Duchy of Sien consider it an honor to join the Seres Magic Academy.

However, the requirements for the entrance examination of the Cyrus Magic Academy are too strict. On average, only a dozen or so lucky people pass the examination and enter the academy each year.

Of course, this only applies to students who enter the college through an examination.

In fact, the Cyrus Magic Academy has thirty to forty new students every year.

The rest were young scions from various noble families who entered the academy through "irregular channels".

This has become an unspoken rule.

The Cyrus Magic Academy covers an area of ​​over 3,000 acres and includes multiple areas such as teaching areas and living areas.

The most prominent and central building is the Seraphim Tower, located atop Mount Seres.

The Master's Pagoda is a symbol of a master's power, wisdom, status, and even wealth.

Only mages of the fifth rank or above are qualified and capable of building mage towers.

It is not only a place for mages to live, but also serves as a "laboratory", "library", "treasure vault", "defense fortress", "dungeon", "teleportation point" and other functions.

The Seres Mage Tower was built under the supervision of the first dean of the Seres Academy of Magic.

After being refined by generations of mages at the academy, the Seres Mage Tower has become the most important foundation and the most powerful force of the Seres Magic Academy.

Today, a small meeting is being held in the conference room of the Seres Mage Tower.

Shel Ian, the current dean of the Cyrus Academy of Magic, sat in the main seat of the conference room, his brows slightly furrowed.

He is almost four hundred years old, but he still looks like a middle-aged man, appearing to be only in his thirties or forties.

Shel Ian has served as the Dean of the Cyrus Academy of Magic for over a hundred years.

Over a hundred years, he had already established a very high level of prestige within the institution.

The dean, who was usually calm and composed, as if everything was under control, was behaving this way today because two mages, both from the academy's upper echelons, were having a heated argument in the conference room.
