Chapter 10 What do you mean by me becoming a disciple of the Demonic Cult?
Meanwhile, high in the sky.
A rustling of grass filled the air.
"Holy shit!"
"Holy shit!"
"This kid's got talent! How come I didn't think of this method back then!"
The figure of Tobias, the tutor from the Earth Academy, emerged from the moonflower; he was a bald old man who praised Lorne highly.
"Although this plan is a bit shameless, it allows magic apprentices to defeat opponents of a higher level with minimal cost. It is the most ingenious use of earth magic that I have heard of in the past ten years."
Even someone with an intermediate magic degree could be affected for a moment if they weren't careful.
"And... manipulating the earth element within the body, such ingenious ideas are simply out of the ordinary."
The more the old man spoke, the more astonished he became.
Currently, low- to mid-level earth magic is basically limited to manipulating external earth elements, such as earth wall spells, meteor spells, and earth spike spells, mainly for direct combat, and few people think of turning their attention to the human body.
But Lorne just showed him a completely new idea!
The human body has many components, such as bones, teeth, and even some more subtle tissues, which can all be classified under the category of "earth"!
If we continue down this path of meticulously manipulating the earth element within the human body, as Lorne has done, we might be able to create a completely new school of earth magic that is entirely different from the current mainstream system!
This skill alone is worth an advanced magic degree; if studied in depth, it could even lead to the establishment of a sect!
"What a bright young man! He's perfect for our Civil Engineering department! As his future mentor, I think I should change my research direction so I don't fall behind Lorne's line of thinking."
The old man's face was all wrinkled up like a flower.
"Pah! You're shameless! I've never heard of a professor changing a student's research direction! I think he should have come to our Fire Academy instead."
"If you can come to the Fire Academy, then why can't you come to our Wind Academy and Water Academy? Don't forget, he has the resonance of all four elements."
"Hey, stop arguing. If you ask me, why don't you come to our Thunder Academy? You won't lose out."
"Get out of my way!"
The mentors started arguing, spitting at each other across the moonflower.
Just kidding, this guy has the four elements in harmony and is so intelligent. If you could be his mentor, you might accidentally go down in history. Which mentor could resist such a temptation?
In the end, Professor Sylvie said helplessly:
"Sorting into different colleges is something for second-year students, why are you in such a hurry now?"
The mentors thought about it and agreed.
Upon enrollment, new students will begin a year of general magical education, where they will study courses such as alchemy, potions, elements, meditation, and combat, laying a solid foundation for their long magical journey ahead.
Most people will officially become a magic apprentice at this stage.
Then comes the second year, where students who have already obtained their magic apprenticeships are assigned to various colleges, choose their respective majors, and receive a junior magic degree in that major.
There are also third and fourth grades, with additional requirements.
In short, Lorne has now passed all the tests and, according to the principal's approval, has become one of the prospective freshmen of Silver Academy!
They can run away, but they can't hide. They'll have plenty of opportunities to get in touch with this kid in the future.
"This batch of new students is of exceptionally high quality. There's even one with a dual resonance of earth and fire elements, a perfect match in the field of alchemy. Professor Cyrus, perhaps you're about to have a prized student."
"Orcs, dwarves, and giants all have international students. Hey, everyone needs to keep a close eye on that little girl from the Norton family. I don't want what happened back then to happen again."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
In the history of Silver Academy, a momentous event occurred that shocked all the major fantasy races and the human magic world.
There was a student back then who was exceptionally talented, possessing a rare level 10 mental affinity and the special ability of elemental resonance. Moreover, he came from a prestigious magical family, and his magical talent and family background were no less than those of Viola today. He was a prodigy who stood out in the entire Silver Academy, achieving fame at a young age and being regarded as a rising star in the entire magical world.
But this super genius fell in love with an exchange student from the giant race, and after graduation, he went directly to the giant race.
This move shocked the entire magical world at the time. Countless people exclaimed how awesome it was, yet also lamented that the human magical world had lost an outstanding magician.
The magical family that was on par with the Norton family publicly declared that they did not recognize this heir, and even came to Silver Academy to cause a great disturbance. Several high-ranking mages fought in the air, and nearly half of Silver Academy was destroyed.
From then on, Silver Academy had a new rule: interracial relationships are strictly prohibited without parental consent.
……
Admissions scene.
Lorne looked at what was in front of him.
[You endured humiliation and hardship, bearing the watchful eyes of the demonic cult members, and with your mortal body withstood several rounds of inhuman trials, narrowly escaping death, finally passing all the tests.]
[Congratulations! You are about to become a glorious disciple of the Demonic Cult!]
[Points +1!]
Lorne turned around and saw that the cat senior was still baring his teeth and hissing at him from behind.
They are indeed eyeing it very covetously...
And this next one, is he about to become a disciple?
He remembered that Professor Sylvie had just said that they needed to discuss it with the college before they could determine whether to grant him admission.
I reckon this elegant lady went to investigate her background. After all, she damaged the Silver Echo Monument and has so many strange things about her, anyone would be suspicious.
It seems I passed the political vetting.
[Next, please perform well and strive to gain the attention of the Demonic Sect as soon as possible, so that they may reward you with a Qi Refining technique and allow you to become a Qi Refining stage cultivator!]
Lorne fell into deep thought.
Demonic sects are generally quite dark, full of exploitation and oppression, a dog-eat-dog world, full of deceit and treachery. To obtain cultivation techniques, one can only rely on currying favor with high-level cultivators. It is full of conspiracies and schemes, otherwise one is destined to be used as expendable resources.
At the magic academy...
He looked around at the nearby magicians.
Each of them radiated magical energy, wore smiles, and exuded sunshine and enthusiasm, patiently guiding the candidates through each assessment. The one with the worst attitude was probably Hakimi next door, who would occasionally breathe on himself.
As long as I don't skip classes or deliberately violate school rules, there shouldn't be any problem, right?
What else is there to say? Just relax.
……
The assessment lasted for half a day, and although the sun was setting, the heat had not yet dissipated.
Seeing that there were still many people waiting to be tested, and that the enrollment process would take a while, Viola gave Lorne a wink and gestured with her fair chin to the side.
The giant boy was still deep in thought, his massive body casting a large shadow beside him.
Lorne understood immediately, stopped thinking, and tacitly came to the giant boy's side, hiding in the shadows to shield themselves from the sun, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Tsk, it's a bit dry."
Lorne smacked his lips twice, took out two small ceramic bottles from his bag, and handed one to Viola.
"Would you like to try my secret-recipe beverage?"
