Wizard Immortality.

Chapter 7 Social Strata

When the senior apprentice Kers heard the conditions offered by Ethos, his expression changed subtly, and he made no attempt to hide the envy and jealousy in his eyes.

As a senior apprentice, he had many ways to obtain Soul Stones.

But you get three questions a month, plus one lab trial opportunity.

Such conditions.

If Sigurd Murray is lucky enough and studies hard enough...

It's almost equivalent to being guaranteed a place as a full-fledged wizard, or at the very least, becoming a senior apprentice.

the most important.

First-class wizard Ethos is one of the five leaders of the Black Tower Academy Council.

Becoming his apprentice would grant Sigurds access to resources and a wider social circle that is unimaginable for ordinary wizard apprentices.

Although Siggs' classmates didn't quite understand what such conditions meant, they never dared to dream of gaining the attention of a formal wizard.

Sigurds had been mentally prepared, but the current developments far exceeded her expectations.

A first-level wizard personally invited me to be his apprentice?

Faced with the envious and awe-inspiring gazes of her fellow students, Sigurds was initially a little reserved, but she quickly adapted to this change in status.

Then.

She stared intently at Vic, who was preparing for the test.

I was filled with anticipation.

In her view, an ambitious guy who could become a formal knight without any guidance must have talent no less than hers.

Vic walked up to the mirror stone.

Having witnessed the life of a sixth-level wizard in his previous life, he could easily use his imagination to construct magnificent transformations of the universe and the bizarre wonders of strange places.

However, under the influence of the mirror stone's power, his talent was far from sufficient to support these expectations.

Vic wanted to give it a try, but his consciousness and brain felt like they were being torn apart, like the insurmountable gap between an ordinary person and a genius.

He had experienced the same thing in his previous life.

Finally, a common scene is created: ice and snow melt into water, and flames burn.

I can barely pass the assessment.

First-level wizard Ethos made a few notes on the register and said, "Talent: average; Understanding of the Transmutation Domain: poor; next."

Sigurds was taken aback when she heard Ethos's assessment.

She frowned slightly as she looked at the black-haired boy standing silently in front of the mirror stone.

Just like his ordinary appearance and average height, it's unexpected that even his talent would eventually fade into obscurity.

Sigurds's expectations gradually faded, and she eventually returned to normalcy.

It seems she's overthinking it.

She smiled slightly at Vic to offer comfort.

but.

The girl knew perfectly well what was going on in her heart.

From this moment on, they will no longer be people of the same world.

Having gained the favor of a first-class wizard, her wizarding career was smooth sailing.

But Vic, with his mediocre talent, may remain a wizard apprentice for his entire life.

The thin, dark-skinned boy was also paying attention to Vic's test results, and he was somewhat surprised to hear such a comment.

In the mind of this simple country boy.

Ever since Vic slept in the carriage all day that day, he has become somewhat frightening, as if shrouded in an unfathomable mist.

Unexpectedly, his talent is not as good as his.

but.

This outcome is perfectly acceptable to Vic.

Because the test result was exactly the same as in his previous life.

Among the students of the same period, he was considered one of the least talented.

It's impossible for someone like Sigurds to become a first-level wizard's apprentice directly. The best outcome is to work as an assistant to newly recruited wizard apprentices who are short of people.

They would not receive any attention in the academy, and the resources they could access were extremely limited.

After the test.

Ethos wrote down an address on a piece of paper and handed it to Sigurds, telling her to contact him anytime if she made up her mind.

After the first-level wizard Ethos left.

Kers abandoned his previous haughty demeanor, strode to Siggs' side, laughed heartily, and said, "Miss Siggs, Lord Essos is one of the members of the Five-Person Council of the Black Tower Academy, and a senior first-level wizard."

Refusing that person is not a wise choice.

I hope you will consider this carefully.

Before the girl could respond, Kers took out a black purse from the alchemy ring, smiled broadly, and handed it to Siggs, saying, "We're not strangers. If you ever need my help in the future, you can always come to Isai Alchemy Workshop to find me."

Here are ten soul stones. Don't refuse; consider it a gift from your senior as we meet.

Siggs was, after all, of noble birth.

She had been exposed to these kinds of social interactions since childhood, and they were commonplace for her.

So she didn't refuse, saying, "Thank you for the gift, Senior Kers. I will remember your kindness."

In a few words and conversations.

Lord Kels has become my senior, and the two of them have instantly become much closer.

the other side.

Although all the trainees in Vic's cohort came from the Kingdom of Katen and spent more than twenty days together in the same caravan.

The latest novel is first published here!

However, Kers had explicitly forbidden the trainees in the team from forming cliques or causing trouble.

Therefore, they didn't know much about each other's backgrounds and didn't have much interaction on a daily basis.

He has now left the team.

The trainees gathered together, chatting and laughing, and dreaming about a bright future.

But you can tell if you pay a little attention.

The gifted students have begun introducing themselves to each other, building closer relationships, and keeping their distance from their peers who are of average talent.

The other students, under the organization of a noble youth, were vaguely inclined to form a group, and the dark-skinned, thin boy Aaron was also invited by him.

"Let me introduce myself first. I come from Winterwolf Territory. You can call me Grant. My father is the Lord of Winterwolf."

Mr. Aaron, I heard that you and Miss Sigs Murray are from the same hometown.

If there's an opportunity in the future, please introduce us.

The thin, dark-skinned boy didn't quite understand these social niceties. He nodded blankly, glanced at Sigurd, who was being fawned over not far away, and said, "If there's a chance."

The remaining two, like Vic, were of lower talent and stood there ignored.

Although the academy wouldn't kick them out, they already had a sense of what the future held.

He spent his entire life doing odd jobs at the college.

Or, due to insufficient strength, they died far from home.

but.

No one wants to sit idly by and wait to die.

After introducing themselves, the two least talented students walked over to Vic.

One of them was tall and burly, with short, neat brown hair, and possessed the strength of a formal knight.

The other person was pale, with dark circles under his eyes, and looked sickly. Although he was of noble birth, he had been ruined by wine and women at a young age.

The tall young man spoke with a strong voice, and there was no sign of frustration in his smile.

"Let me introduce you. This is Oliver Lionheart, son of the Earl of Lion Ridge. I used to be a Free Knight. You can call me Luke."

Although Vic doesn't like wasting too much time on interpersonal interactions, the other party's attitude was very sincere, and he didn't need to offend the other party or make enemies unnecessarily.

"Vic, from Baron Morrell."

Hearing that Baron Morrie had taken over.

Luke and Oliver exchanged a glance.

The tall, free-riding knight looked somewhat surprised and asked, "Are you and Miss Sigurd from the same hometown?"

"I used to be a manservant in the baron's castle."

After Vic revealed his identity and background.

Although Luke didn't seem to care much, a hint of contempt flashed in Oliver's eyes.

Given his aristocratic mindset, it was highly unlikely that he would get to know his former master, Sigurd Murray, through a relationship with a male servant.

"Luke, you talk to him, I'll look around."

Luke looked somewhat helpless, but didn't say anything more, just nodded.

Seeing that everyone had gotten to know each other, Kels announced loudly, "Lord Ethos will submit your information to the Education Department."

Within three days, someone will contact you.

You are free to move around in the college during this time. Remember to follow the rules. You may leave now.
