Chapter 29 Enrollment

Leon walked in front, with Dorothy and Elor following behind.

The three left the castle and went to the square next door.

In the center of the square, there were several temporary sheds where a few teachers and apprentices were busy working.

"Alright, we've arrived. Um, this person..."

Leon turned to look at Dorothy.

"My name is Dorothy."

Dorothy introduced herself.

Lyon pointed to one of the sheds and said, "See that crystal ball? Go over there and see how good your magical aptitude is."

Dorothy glanced at Elor first.

Only after Elor nodded did he walk toward the crystal ball.

Elor watched Dorothy's retreating figure.

His eyes were full of encouragement and nervousness.

Seeing Elor's tense expression, Leon lazily yawned.

If Dorothy possessed even a slight magical talent, he was willing to use some underhanded methods to keep her here as an apprentice for Elor's sake.

At this moment, Dorothy had already walked to the crystal ball.

She stretched out her left hand and pressed it on the crystal ball.

Faint points of light appeared on the originally transparent crystal ball.

Elor opened her eyes wide, repeatedly chanting in her mind: More, more!

Lyon watched as the points of light continuously gathered within the crystal ball.

"Ten o'clock, twenty o'clock, thirty o'clock..."

Finally, the light spots stopped coalescing.

"Forty-five points, which is below average aptitude, is not bad. With some effort, there is still a chance to become a novice mage."

As expected of Dorothy's talent, tens of thousands of apprentices with similar abilities to Dorothy appeared every day.

There are very few people with advanced qualifications.

You can't expect a kid that Elor just brought back from outside to have any good magical aptitude.

Lyon walked up to the crystal ball, and after confidently confirming its location, took out a badge from the table next to him.

"Now you can put your magic into this."

"With this badge, you can freely enter and leave the City of Apprentices, and the credits you earn will be stored here."

"Isn't Elor talking to you about things like academic credits?"

Leon handed the badge to Dorothy.

Dorothy nodded. "Yes, I did."

"Great! Dorothy, from today onwards you are a student of the Apprentice City." Elor also came over.

Although Dorothy's aptitude is below average, she still has a chance to become a wizard in the future.

But at this moment, Elor vaguely felt that she seemed to have forgotten something.

Dorothy looked at the badge in her hand. The front of the badge featured a large magic hat with a row of small dots below it, while the back showed two crossed magic wands, one long and one short.

Dorothy began to infuse magic into the badge in her hand.

The magic power within his body was mobilized and slowly injected into the badge.

"Um?"

At this moment, Lyon made a somewhat surprised sound.

Elor glanced at Lyon, not understanding why he had just exclaimed in surprise.

However, when Elor turned to look at Dorothy, or more precisely, at the apprentice badge in Dorothy's hand, she couldn't help but make a sound.

"this……"

Leon pushed up his glasses with his hand.

"I didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain."

"Huh? What's wrong with you two?" Dorothy was puzzled by Elor and Leon's behavior and didn't understand what they were shouting about.

Elor slowly exhaled.

"Although I knew you were quite strong before, I didn't expect you to have so much magic power..."

Lyon pointed to the badge on Dorothy's hand and explained, "This badge is for apprentices, here."

Lyon's fingers were just below the mage hat design.

"This dot means apprentice, and this badge can indicate the identity of a magic apprentice because it can record the amount of magic power."

"And now, its recorded magical power is full, which means that your magical power surpasses that of an apprentice."

Dorothy looked at the badge in her hand and blinked.

"I see."

Her magic power is certainly greater, since intelligence in the attribute points can increase magic power, and skill magic power can also increase magic power.

In terms of sheer magical power, Dorothy is a sorceress.

Hmm, a magician who doesn't know magic.

Lyon rubbed the stubble on his chin with one hand, his tone flat. "His magical aptitude isn't very high, but his magical power is full. What's that? A rare talent?"

"Maybe I was born with superhuman strength..." Dorothy didn't know how to explain.

Leon didn't dwell on it; that's just how the world of magic is—all sorts of freaks can appear.

"Well, with this talent, it won't be difficult for you to become a mage. However, having great magical power will still limit your future prospects. Try your best to see if you can become an intermediate mage in the future. That way, you can stay in the City of Apprentices and find a job."

It was just an unusual magical phenomenon; it didn't pique Lyon's interest.

Being a magician isn't just about having great magical power.

It only shortened the time it took to become a magician.

Other apprentices have to learn magic and accumulate magical power to become magicians, but Dorothy only needs to learn magic.

In the past, the City of Apprentices had recruited apprentices with naturally strong magical abilities, but not many of them eventually learned magic and successfully became magicians.

"Come here, write your name here, and leave some of your magic inside."

Lyon, holding a slate and a quill pen, beckoned to Dorothy.

Dorothy, holding a quill pen, stared blankly at the smooth stone slab in front of her.

This stone slab must be some kind of magical artifact.

"Leaving your name and infusing magic will leave your mark in the City of Apprentices. In the future, when you go out, you only need to take out your badge. If someone uses an identification spell on the badge, they will know that you are from the City of Apprentices."

Lyon offered a brief explanation.

Then he took out a magic scroll.

"And this is the contract of the City of Apprentices. It says congratulations on your enrollment and that you are not allowed to spread magic privately. You can take a look."

"By the way, you can read and write your own name, right?"

Leon placed the magic scroll on the table and looked at Dorothy.

"I will." Dorothy took the quill and first wrote her name on the stone slab, then infused it with her magic.

Several magical runes flashed across the stone slab before returning to calm.

Then Dorothy picked up the magic scroll that was on the table and looked at it.

The magic scroll contained a large amount of text.

That's the same thing Lyon said.

Elor had mentioned it to him before.

The main restriction is that before becoming a high-level mage, one cannot pass on the knowledge learned in the Apprentice City.

After Dorothy wrote her name on the contract.

The magic scroll suddenly burst into flames and turned into ashes.

"Alright, everything's done."

After Lyon saw Dorothy sign the contract, he thought for a moment and took out a ring from his pocket.

"This is a self-defense ring I casually made during my alchemy class. It contains a fireball spell and can be recharged once a day. Consider it a congratulatory gift for your enrollment."

Since Elor was his friend, Leon also gave her a magical item to express his goodwill.

Dorothy accepted the ring with both hands, feeling somewhat excited.

"Thanks!"
