Synthetic Wizard

Chapter 387 - 232: 10% Increase in Energy Particle Concentration

The Morning Star assessment is a system introduced by Starlight Academy thirty years ago.

All Level 2 Wizard Apprentices under the age of thirty can register to participate. If they pass the assessment, they become Morning Star students.

Not only can they receive a certain subsidy each month, but they can also become the disciples of a wizard mentor.

Real disciples!

Since this assessment system was introduced, Morning Star students have basically become synonymous with genius students.

Over the past thirty years, more than three-quarters of the students who advanced to Level 3 Wizard Apprentices have been Morning Star students.

This also indirectly proves the high value of Morning Star students.

Upon hearing Kei’s words, Haylin immediately said, "Grandfather, I plan to build up a bit more before applying for the Morning Star assessment. With my current strength, the possibility of passing the assessment is not high."

"That’s fine, after all, you’re only sixteen, still very young." Kei nodded with an unchanged smile.

When Sherman became a Level 2 Wizard Apprentice, he was also around sixteen or seventeen.

And it’s said that Sherman is now already constructing the Talent Crystal Model; becoming a wizard is almost a sure thing for him.

My grandson’s talent is no less than Sherman’s, and with the support of the royal family in terms of resources, he might achieve even more than Sherman!

"During this time, you might also want to consider which mentor you want to choose in the future, I can give them a heads-up in advance." Kei said with a full smile.

The selection between Morning Star students and Wizard mentors is mutual.

After each assessment is over, a wizard can extend an olive branch to the Morning Star student they deem suitable.

If a student is favored by multiple wizards, they can choose one as their teacher.

If a student is not favored by any wizard, the council will forcibly assign a wizard as a teacher.

However, the latter usually doesn’t occur.

After all, wizards need disciples to serve as lab assistants or handle some chores. It’s better to choose the more outstanding Morning Star students than average ones.

So generally, no wizard refuses a Morning Star student.

Of course, Morning Star students can also receive guidance from their teachers.

It is essentially a win-win situation.

Speaking of which, Haylin hesitated and said, "Grandfather, can I take great-uncle as my teacher?"

Kei paused, hesitated for a moment, and said, shaking his head:

"Sunan has been quite busy these past years, and he hasn’t truly recruited disciples since Sherman and those three. I can ask for you, but don’t get your hopes too high."

Haylin’s face lit up with joy and he quickly said, "Thank you, Grandfather!"

...

Dragon Forest, Starlight Wizard Tower.

Tajana walked briskly through the corridor, with most of the Wizard Apprentices she encountered stopping in their tracks to greet her warmly.

Tajana nodded lightly in response, her expression as cold as ever.

The apprentices seemed not to mind, as if they were used to it.

Once Tajana walked away, an apprentice whispered to his companion beside him.

"Was that girl just now the legendary academy’s only Dark Elf trainee?"

"Who else could it be?"

"Why are you all so eager to pay attention to her? Isn’t she just a Dark Elf Wizard Apprentice? Just because she’s rare?"

"So ignorant, Tajana was personally named to enter the academy by Lord Sunan and is even a disciple of Lady Rose. Who would dare to underestimate her with these two identities?"

"Ah, but why would Lady Rose take a Dark Elf as a disciple?"

"Don’t underestimate her because she’s a Dark Elf. Tajana is said to have a talent superior to Senior Sherman and Senior Cole. She just joined late, but she is already a Level 3 Wizard Apprentice and is reportedly constructing the final star ring."

"Is it possible to cultivate our human meditation method even if you are a Dark Elf?"

"That’s why they say she’s exceptionally talented. Would someone specially named by Lord Sunan be an ordinary Dark Elf?"

Tajana was unaware of the whispers in the corridor about her. She walked quickly until she reached the end of the hallway and stopped before the door, lightly knocking on it.

"Please come in."

A familiar, melodious voice came from behind the door.

Tajana pushed the door open and entered.

The room was exceptionally simple in layout, with nothing except for a desk, chair, and two bookshelves.

Attila seemed to be processing some documents, and when he heard the door open, he looked up and saw it was Tajana, his face lighting up with a smile.

"You’ve come, Jana."

’Jana’ was Attila’s pet name for Tajana, saying it was simpler and felt more intimate.

Apart from her mentor Rose, only Attila in the entire Starlight Academy called her that.

A faint smile appeared on Tajana’s face as she walked forward to the desk, placing a document before Attila.

"These are the wizard apprentice criminals captured in the past year, a total of twelve people, all of whom have been detained. How do you want to deal with them?"

"As usual, send them to the detention area of Base No. 2, and let them work to atone in the workshop. The first small secondary magic stone vein is almost ready to be cultivated, and Lord Xingyun has asked me to prepare a batch of Clay Golems in advance, so let’s have them refine the Clay Golems."

As Attila spoke, he took the document and wrote his approval on it.

Seeing her friend’s efficient manner, Tajana couldn’t help but be impressed.

The work of an assistant to the Star Alliance’s controller truly tempers a person.

After several decades, although Attila’s character still carried its original gentleness, he was now more efficient and dignified.

Putting down the quill, Attila sighed, "I don’t know why, but in recent years, there’s been an increasing number of Wizard Apprentices emerging from all corners. Not only has the number of criminals grown, but the Star Alliance has also recruited quite a few Wizard Apprentices in recent years."
