magic high school

"Li Ge, get up quickly! Today is the day of the Sorting Ceremony and the day of the Noble Phantasm Awakening!" A knocking sound rang out in Li Ge's room.

Their top student dormitory is a two-bedroom, one-living room layout, so Li Ge and Yi Lian each have their own single room. If they really lived together, Li Ge didn't know how many troubles this roommate, who could turn into water at any time, could cause.

"So early?" Li Ge complained.

"Didn't you see the course notification on your watch?"

Li Ge: "..."

He's not used to looking at his watch all the time.

But there was still enough time, so the two immediately got up, tidied themselves up quickly, and headed towards the new student area.

"I have another piece of information here. After the formal division into colleges, the school will also implant a 'system' into us to enhance our learning," Yi Lian said directly.

"Wait, did I hear that right, system?" Li Ge had a piece of bread in his mouth. It was a bread that a senior student was selling at a stall outside the dormitory. It cost 0.1 points for 10 pieces, and Li Ge had 100 points when he enrolled.

It is said that this is the currency used throughout the school, serving as an equivalent for transactions between students. It has considerable purchasing power, and points can even be used to rent the school's magical artifacts, borrow high-level magical knowledge, or even ask the school to help you solve any problems.

It is said that even the crisis of your hometown's destruction can be resolved with points.

However, at this moment, Li Ge's mind was more focused on the "system" that Yi Lian had mentioned.

Is this the system I remember? Dude, are they really going to hand out one of these to everyone?

"Yes, system. If you want to go for the Noble Phantasm build, that's fine, but if you want to go for the traditional magic build, then studying will be a real ordeal. So after the school is divided into departments, it will implant a complete system into everyone's watch. The systems of each school are different, similar to a personal support spirit," Yi Lian explained.

Li Ge understood. Although this system wasn't as powerful as he had imagined—no invincible system, the strongest system in history, or a martial god system—it was still incredibly strong.

According to Yi Lian, the system includes body scanning, level evaluation, information recording, information retrieval, magical knowledge organization, experience bar display, and a portable shop.

Of course, this portable shop is only connected to the school shop. After you buy something, it will be delivered to you, or you can be teleported directly to your side using a teleportation spell.

Even just this, the system's functions amazed Li Ge. Putting everything else aside, just the display of the experience bar was enough to make Li Ge happy for a long time.

Soon, they arrived at the square halfway up the mountain.

It has to be said, the school is really big. This is only the freshman area, and it's already so big that Li Ge can't run anymore.

According to Yi Lian, the school occupies an entire world, and all areas of the world serve the magic high school. This gave Li Ge a basic understanding of just how awesome his school was.

The square should be full of this year's freshmen. Looking into the distance, Li Ge saw students wearing blue, yellow, and red school uniforms.

Yellow is the most common color, accounting for about half, blue is the least common, accounting for less than 15%, and the rest is red.

The resentment or laxity of the students in red uniforms, the envy and jealousy of those in yellow uniforms, and the confidence or arrogance of the students in blue uniforms.

Because this is a school that prioritizes meritocracy, blue represents top students, yellow represents average students, and red represents poor students. Li Ge was a little confused about how this color classification was calculated. Could it be that the person who made this ranking was some unknown club president who liked Blue-Eyes White Dragon?

It is quite obvious that the students are also clearly divided into different groups, with people of different backgrounds basically gathering together to form small cliques.

Yi Lian brought Li Ge to the blue group, but Li Ge didn't seem to care about this group format.

"That's how schools are; it's actually a way to motivate students to strive for excellence," Yi Lian said quietly.

Li Ge nodded, understanding; after all, that's what motivates people to roll it up.

It seems the academy's first principal must have been a top student, similar to those from Hengshui Academy. It's like, "I'm getting caught in the rain, so I'm determined to take your umbrella."

"Hello, Li Ge!" Suddenly, a blonde girl in a yellow uniform greeted him. This was Valerie, the female knight who seemed to have deliberately sought out Li Ge, and Xiao Ye behind her, who was still wearing an exaggerated mask.

Li Ge gave an awkward but polite response.

"Hey, Li Ge, who are they?" Yi Lian immediately became curious and craned her neck to look over. In a physical sense, her neck was stretched out very long, which immediately stunned the other students around her, who looked like they had seen a ghost.

"We came from the same instance, so we know each other..."

Just then, the flamboyant old vice principal, whom we had met before, walked over with another young teacher. The old man was still dressed in his usual flamboyant manner, and today he had even changed into a white suit-like tuxedo with bright red flowers hanging on his trench coat.

The young teacher was listless and looked like a corporate slave, as if he didn't care whether he lived or died.

Looking at this teacher's stern appearance, Li Ge was afraid that he would say something like "The three armies obey orders and commit suicide to return to heaven" as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Hello everyone, I'm Nelson, the freshman counselor, but you don't need to remember my name. Normal students will probably only see me a few times a year." The counselor said weakly and very quickly, as if he wanted to finish quickly and go home.

"I won't waste any more time. Let's begin the Noble Phantasm awakening, followed by the Sorting Ceremony."

Soon after, the awakening of Noble Phantasms began, but for the academy, it was just a formality.

Li Ge quietly approached Yi Lian and whispered, "By the way, can everyone awaken a Noble Phantasm?"

Yi Lian arrived some time earlier than him and knew far more information than he did.

"Actually, it's just that the school is giving you face. What you've awakened is just a 'pseudo-tool,' which is the prototype of the magic tool that's most suitable for you. It's often part of your wishes, and you need to nurture it little by little before it can become a true treasure," Yi Lian explained.

"Oh, speaking of which, in magic high schools nowadays, are there more Noble Phantasm users or more traditional users?" Li Ge asked.

"It's about even, but recently newcomers are leaning more towards the Noble Phantasm build. After all, traditional magic and mystical schools are too complex, with a vast amount of knowledge. Learning a single spell could take years or even decades. Therefore, the Noble Phantasm build, a faster-learning magic style, is becoming more popular and is gradually becoming the mainstream," Yi Lian explained.

"However, that's not absolute. Traditional mages might also hide their own Noble Phantasm as a trump card, and Noble Phantasm-focused mages also need to study those complex magic formulas to assist themselves. But now, there are roughly three major schools: Noble Phantasm Department, Magic Department, and Mystic Department," Yi Lian explained.

Soon, the awakening of Noble Phantasms on the stage began, starting with the students in red school uniforms. The first person to step onto the stage was someone who didn't look very bright. When he arrived at the center of the magic circle, the light flashed, and all the new students seemed to hold their breath, quietly watching this scene.

Suddenly, a large hammer appeared in his hand, which he quickly withdrew. The student was very excited and kept retrieving and releasing his Noble Phantasm.

"Noble Phantasm: Forging Hammer, a Noble Phantasm that can be used for both combat and logistical forging. Not bad." The vice principal looked at the child and said with a hint of encouragement.

"Thank you, Principal!" The student in the red school uniform was very happy, as if he had been truly encouraged by the vice principal, and stepped down from the stage.
