magic high school

At this moment, many of Li Ge's previous guesses were confirmed.

The clown mask... no, it should be called the Fool's Mask now. It was indeed a treasure left to me by my parents, but before, this treasure was not fully integrated with me. It was more like an external prop attached to my face.

Now, this treasure has completely merged with him.

Just how amazing were my parents in this life that they would leave this mask to me so many years after their death?

Li Ge was certain that he had lived in the art capital of Viona for 16 years and knew very well what that world was like. To put it bluntly, it was an ordinary world without magic. There might be some magical activities that Li Ge was unaware of, but at the very least, Li Ge had no information about magic whatsoever.

Such a rare and precious artifact, even in a magic high school, was actually kept by his parents.

However, Li Ge himself knew that he had not awakened a new Noble Phantasm this time, but the Fool's Mask had completely revealed its true name and hid a grotesque lion in his pupils.

He raised his watch, activated the front camera function, and carefully examined his ever-burning golden eyes. Sure enough, he spotted a pathetic lion inside…

What kind of "lion's eyes" are these?!

The students below immediately began to whisper among themselves. After all, Li Ge's situation was quite special. Although he didn't look as impressive as the previous ones, his eyes were shining like searchlights.

When those eternally shining golden eyes opened, no one dared to meet Li Ge's gaze, because they were as bright as high beams. If it were nighttime, the intensity of that light would be absurd, like a dog with its high beams on. Therefore, no one dared to look into his eyes.

I'm terrified that my eyes will be ruined by those high-beam drivers.

Li Ge can even quickly switch the Golden Eyes on and off, so that his eyes can be used as a flashing light.

At the same time, Li Ge quickly discovered another function of the Lion's Eye: it could see the labels above other people's heads.

For example, when he looked at the freshman counselor, he saw four labels above his head: [Magic Counselor], [Treasure-wielding Mage], [Kidney Deficiency], and [Lack of Energy].

When he looked at the vice principal, the same labels appeared: [Magic Vice Principal], [Traditionalist Mage], [Puppet Clone]...

The moment the [Puppet Clone] appeared, Li Ge was taken aback and asked directly, "Principal, is this a puppet clone?"

Upon hearing this, all the students in the room fell silent, and then looked at the vice principal with either surprise or strange expressions.

"Indeed, this body is my puppet clone, but it can share consciousness with my main body in real time." The vice principal said without any reservation, and the next moment, the whole audience was in an uproar.

"No way, this thing seems to be... see-through? Or X-ray vision?"

"What's the use? What's the point of knowing your opponent when faced with absolute power?"

"Intelligence-related abilities, while they don't provide combat power, are truly powerful treasures."

……

The crowd began to discuss amongst themselves. When the clown mask first appeared, it seemed that no one could see it, or perhaps they hadn't noticed it at all. They all assumed that the Lion's Eye was the treasure that Li Ge had awakened.

Although many people still believe that these kinds of Noble Phantasms, which can reveal intelligence or conduct reconnaissance, are not very useful and cannot improve combat power at all, those in the know understand just how powerful and important intelligence-related Noble Phantasms really are.

The vice-principal immediately clapped and said, "Excellent! I knew I wasn't wrong about you. The only perfect scorer in this year's class! Is your Noble Phantasm the visual-seeing type, or the intelligence type?"

"It should be classified as intelligence. I can see the labels above everyone's heads. Principal, your labels are [Vice Principal of Magic], [Traditionalist Mage], [Puppet Clone], and..." Li Ge paused, then continued, "[Playboy]..."

At this moment, everyone was shocked again, both by the label of the vice principal and by the fact that Li Ge was the only freshman to get a perfect score on the exam.

Once this information is disseminated, it is foreseeable that Li Ge's future campus life will definitely not be peaceful.

As for the function of this intelligence-related treasure, opinions on that are truly subjective.

"Very good, really very good. I saw a lion in your pupils. Intelligence-related abilities are the most demanding in terms of association and analytical skills. Make good use of them." The vice principal gave Li Ge this final evaluation before letting him leave.

Li Ge: "..."

Lions in the trenches!

After he stepped down from the stage, everyone immediately paid him their attention. There was no way around it; whether it was as the only freshman with a perfect score or this controversial information-type treasure, both were products that could become the center of attention.

Most importantly, opinions on intelligence-related Noble Phantasms are entirely subjective, and those with greater foresight understand the importance of intelligence and information.

There's an old saying from ancient times: "Don't underestimate my intelligence network," and "Battles between mages are battles of intelligence."

Therefore, more and more people are paying attention to Li Ge.

When Li Ge returned to his original position, Yi Lian immediately gave him an elbow strike.

"It seems we're both pretty weak in direct combat, considering our intelligence-related abilities," Yi Lian said.

Li Ge shrugged. His real treasure was not the Lion's Eye, but the Clown Mask. However, the comedic abilities and random refresh on it were too many pitfalls, so Li Ge couldn't use it as a trump card.

Intelligence it is, I'll go with intelligence, I can be a strategist, Li Ge began to fantasize about his future role, like Prime Minister Zhuge or Grand Commander Zhou, who could make enemy ships turn to ashes with a smile and a feather fan.

Soon, the last of the blue students had also awakened their Noble Phantasms. Although there were a few good ones, once the students' threshold was raised, they no longer caused any surprises.

Hundreds of people awakened their Noble Phantasms within hours, which felt very fast, as it kept things fresh.

Soon, the main event arrived—the division of schools.

The magic high school has three main departments: the Traditional Department, the Treasure Art Department, and the Mystic Department.

The traditional path is the traditional way of a mage. After learning magic and accumulating a lot of magical knowledge and mysteries, one gradually embarks on the road to success. The early learning and accumulation process is extremely long and painful, but once the accumulation is completed, one becomes an almost omnipotent magic library.

The Noble Phantasm Department is closer to the "magician" in Li Ge's mind. The mages here are mainly practical, relying on the abilities brought by their own Noble Phantasms, and all subsequent paths are mainly for adapting to their Noble Phantasms.

In short, traditional mages are more like theoretical scholars, while Noble Phantasm mages are more like practical combatants.
