Chapter 201 Fair?
"President Melkor, I heard that there is no vice-president in the Masonic Association now. I think my strength is pretty good among second-class apprentices. I hope you can be accommodating and promote me to become the new vice-president of the Freemasonry!"
Regarding Yi Hua's "request", Melkor's wariness dropped again. At the same time, he frowned and snorted:
"The new vice-president will be determined by his strength. I will select him later. It is useless for you to come to me alone. If You are not strong enough, so give up as soon as possible."
"Guild Master Melkor, can't you be more accommodating?"
As he finished speaking, in order to pretend to be more real, Yihua worked hard and took out a stone worth as much as a One hundred ordinary witch crystals and high-grade witch crystals.
"Can a mere high-level witch crystal penetrate my eyes?"
Melkor didn't even bother to take a look at the high-level witch crystal in Yihua's hand. He sneered and shook his head.
Seeing this, Yihua had no choice but to sigh, pretend to be lost, and walked towards the exit of this floor.
Just when Yihua was only one step away from the exit, and thought that the disguise was going so smoothly, Melkor's voice suddenly came from behind Yihua: "Wait, stop!" Hearing Melkor's scolding, Yihua felt in
his
heart A sinking.
"Could it be that Melkor noticed my disguise?"
Looking back at his previous actions, Yihua's thoughts wavered, unable to tell which step he had taken.
Out of caution and luck, he did not flee the tower the moment he heard Melkor's voice, but slowly turned around.
Seeing Yihua turn around, Melkor did not make any drastic move. Instead, he looked at Yihua's face and asked after a moment: "When did you
join the society? Why don't I have any impression of you?"
Listening When Melkor asked, Yihua felt a little relieved, and then said all the contents he had preset:
"President Melkor, I just joined the association. I heard that the vice-president of the organization is vacant. As soon as I joined the guild, I followed the guidance of other Masonic apprentices and headed to the tower of this academy."
Hearing Yihua's explanation, Melkor was silent for a rare moment, and after a long while, he nodded to Yihua.
"Join my Freemasonry at this time. You... are good. Go back."
Yihua, who realized that his disguise was successful and was not exposed by Melkor, quickly responded.
Ignoring Yihua who was about to leave, Melkor turned around and knocked on the door of the living room where Petain was.
In order not to make Melkor suspicious, Yihua did not stay any longer, and then left the academy tower with a normal expression.
After leaving the academy tower, Yihua did not take it lightly.
In the following time, Yihua passed through the third-class half-dead witch body and wandered around the academy, using hidden corners to change his appearance several times, and finally returned to his residence safely.
——Back
in his residence, he caught sight of the previous scene of Yihua meditating unintentionally and entering the world of death to enslave the undead. He was pacing back and forth in the study on the second floor, feeling confused.
After a moment, Yihua suddenly stopped and murmured in his heart:
"With my current strength and status, I am completely unable to deal with such a level of conspiracy. Perhaps, I should convey this matter to Teacher Simon..."
Just then Not long after Yi Hua had this thought, the jet-black crow-looking token hanging on his waist suddenly emitted an astonishing amount of heat.
Yihua, who realized the message from his mentor Simon, immediately took out the crow token hanging on his waist.
In the next second, the shadow of Teacher Simon was projected in front of the window sill of the study room.
Under the dim yellow sunset, the handsome young mentor Simon, dressed in black clothes and wearing a golden monocle on his left eye, said directly: "Yihua, after receiving the news, immediately go to the academy tower with
Rey to meet you. Me."
After saying that, Mentor Simon's projection flickered slightly and disappeared without a trace.
Yihua fell into deep thought after hearing what Master Simon said.
"My mentor probably didn't know that I sneaked into the tower and eavesdropped on Petain. Therefore, my mentor Simon probably had something else to do with me and Rey."
After understanding this, Yihua breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's just right. We can take this opportunity to explain to Teacher Simon together."
After a little preparation, Yihua set off for the college tower again.
But unlike the floor he went to just now, this time Yihua went to the eighteenth floor where mentor Simon was.
This time, Yihua arrived one step ahead of Rey. Looking at the closed door in front of him, Yihua hesitated for a moment and decided to wait for Rey to arrive.
About a quarter of an hour later, Rey's figure appeared at the entrance of this floor.
Seeing Lei's appearance, Yihua did not exchange too many greetings with him, but knocked on the door of the familiar office in front of him.
Tuk-tuk-tuk!
"Come in."
The person inside the door seemed to have expected it, and the voice came out when the door knocked.
Click~
The door opened, and Yihua and Lei walked into the house.
The furnishings in the house are still familiar, antique yet luxurious.
But what was different from the past was that at this time, Instructor Simon was not sitting at his desk reading documents or correcting materials as usual.
Instead, he stood uncharacteristically in front of the window inlaid with crystal clear crystals, holding his hands behind his back and looking motionlessly at the sea to the east of the college.
At this moment, Yi Hua and Rey did not ask Mentor Simon inappropriately about the purpose of calling them here. They both stood quietly, waiting for Mentor Simon to speak.
I don’t know how much time passed, but there was a look of nostalgia in Simon’s eyes. He sighed and suddenly said:
"Do you know? Wizards are actually the fairest extraordinary profession, because becoming a wizard does not depend on birth, wealth, or even wealth. Qualifications——"
"In fact, the establishment of the Nine Rings White Tower Branch and the existence of the apprentice examination are all for the tower master to implement the concept of fairness."
Hearing the strange words of Teacher Simon, which were like chatting, Rey's eyes There was a flash of doubt.
In the eyes of a genius fourth-level apprentice like him, the wizard's qualifications are absolute.
One day of his casual meditation was equivalent to ten days of hard work by a first-class apprentice with the lowest qualifications!
In addition, the different qualifications of wizards lead to a terrifying gap in the power of witchcraft released. In Rey's mind, wizards are a profession where qualifications come first.
The same goes for the apprenticeship examination. Only by being promoted to the second class within three years can one be stably qualified to go to the mainland.
Most of the apprentices who are only first-class due to their low qualifications have extremely slim chances of passing the exam and getting the qualifications to go to the mainland. How can it be fair?
On the other hand, Yihua felt thoughtful as he recalled what Senior Brother Gray mentioned when he was in Camilla City.
Next, Mentor Simon's conversation allowed Yihua to confirm that although the other party was speaking to the two of them on the surface.
But in fact, Mentor Simon was only talking to Yihua.
From the words of mentor Simon, Yihua also truly understood the true fairness of the wizard's journey.
Compared with the empire where blood is supreme and is monopolized by knight families, civilians will never succeed except risking their lives to join the army and guard the Great Wall in the north.
The Nine Rings White Tower Wizarding Academy adopts a "score-only" approach similar to the entrance exam.
The academy does not directly screen qualifications and excludes wizard apprentices with low qualifications in advance.
No matter whether your innate qualifications are high or low, whether you rely on wisdom or cunning, even if your qualifications are only the worst.
As long as you can be promoted to a second-class apprentice during the apprenticeship examination, you are eligible for more higher-level training.
In fact, from the perspective of the Nine Rings White Pagoda General Academy, as long as you have qualifications, wisdom, luck, and hard work, it is not a problem to pass the apprenticeship examination if you want to be promoted to a second-class apprentice within three years.
Qualifications are basically determined by innateness, just like luck, and cannot be forced.
But wisdom and hard work can be discovered later.
From the perspective of the Nine Rings White Tower Wizard Academy, promotion to an official wizard requires not only talent, sufficient wisdom and hard work, and a certain amount, but indispensable luck is also an important part of it.
He was born with high aptitude, but died prematurely due to bad luck or stupidity.
There are many examples of people who were born with low qualifications but relied on luck, hard work and transcendent wisdom to become official wizards.
Although qualifications are difficult to change, they are not impermissible, but the cost is extremely high.
In this regard, the practices of most other bright wizard academies are not as good as those of the Nine-ring White Tower Dark Wizard Academy, which has a cruel elimination system on the surface.
Because they tend to value qualifications more than second-class qualifications, apprentices like Yihua are eliminated from the beginning and are basically destined to be unable to obtain more resources for training at this time.
However, under the seemingly cruel elimination mechanism of the Nine Rings White Tower Wizarding Academy, no matter how qualified you are, as long as you are strong enough to climb up, you will be able to enjoy greater training.
In the Ordinary Ming Wizard Academy, on the surface, the attitude towards training apprentices is more gentle, but in fact, more resources can be obtained to train the candidates, and the candidates are determined based on their qualifications from the beginning.
With the same resources, Ming Wizard Academy chose to eliminate those with poor qualifications and give priority to apprentices with higher qualifications.
As the Dark Wizard Academy, the Nine-ring White Tower chooses to eliminate the weak and stupid ones, giving priority to those who are mature, intelligent, cunning, powerful, and have outstanding comprehensive abilities, and can stand out from the mass of apprentices.
When Mentor Simon's words reached this point, with Yihua's wisdom, he had already understood that while Mentor Simon was defending and praising the Nine-ring White Tower, he was also alluding to himself.
After saying that, Teacher Simon finally turned around. He looked at Rey, who was standing next to Yihua, who seemed confused about his words and had some faint disapproval. The disappointment in his eyes disappeared fleetingly.
His eyes did not stay too long on Rey, and soon turned to Yihua.
Looking at the majestic life energy hidden in his body and wearing the red iron badge of the second-class apprentice, Yihua showed a clear look at his words.
Simon understood the two people's thoughts on his previous remarks, and without further questioning, he moved his mouth slightly and said,
"Rey, please leave first. I want to have a few words with Yihua alone."
