A round transparent crystal ball suspended in the air.
A faint light emanated from the sphere, illuminating the faces in the room.
There was unbelievable surprise on the old wrinkled face, and inexplicable emotions flashed in the eyes.
The calm young man with an indifferent expression had his hands bluffing over the crystal ball. The radiation power faintly emanating from his palms was connected to the crystal ball.
A huge bear head glanced at the light emitted by the crystal ball, let out a low roar, then held his forepaws again and cleaned up the food residue between his fingers.
"It's unbelievable! It's only a matter of time before you become a third-level apprentice. Your teacher will be proud of you!" The old man clapped his hands and praised excitedly, but there was a faint hint of emotion in his words.
Hissing showed that his old wounds had not yet healed.
Slowly closing his hand, Raymond was very humble in response to the old man's praise. "Dean Bammer, thank you for your praise. Your honorable master has always said that my growth is too slow and I need to come out and see more."
He shook his head with some emotion and reached out to put away the hanging crystal ball. With a snap of his fingers, the whole room became bright again.
"You have touched the threshold of the third-level apprentice at the age of fifteen. Your teacher's strength is unfathomable. The gap is too big..." He said with emotion, and when his eyes turned to the black-maned bear in the corner, Dean Bammer's face changed.
It becomes a little ugly.
As if sensing the old man's gaze, the black-maned bear that was licking its paw suddenly raised its head and roared at Dean Bammer.
The sudden roar echoed in the room, making Dean Bammer's face look ugly. He stumbled before regaining his balance, and then he smiled bitterly.
Raymond, who frowned, let out a sound like a bear's roar from his throat, and then the black-maned bear with its head held high squatted on the ground again.
It was expected that the black-maned bear would have some reaction when he saw Dean Balmer, but Raymond did not expect that in the black-maned bear's memory, the hatred for Dean Balmer would be so deep. When he came to Black River Valley College,
He almost rushed forward and killed Dean Bammer.
Fortunately, after Raymond forced him to stop, the black-maned bear, which had eaten his delicacies for more than half a year, knew the consequences of upsetting Raymond. However, the threats it issued from time to time with low growls still made everyone in the Black River Valley College
People were very frightened.
Black River Valley College is a complex of buildings hidden in the mountains, somewhat similar to the monastery in Raymond's memory of his previous life.
The towering wall and the arrow towers at the four corners exceed the wall by more than ten meters. In the vast space inside the wall, except for a small castle in the center, there are low huts built along the wall.
In Raymond's original understanding, the Black River Valley Wizarding Academy should be a large and majestic building complex, but when he came here and saw everything in front of him, Raymond was still disappointed.
It is called an academy, but in fact, apart from Dean Barmer, there are only his assistant, first-level apprentice Olin, and three teachers who have reached second-level apprenticeships, which constitute the academy's teaching team.
And all the students together are only over fifty. Among them, the young people who have reached the peak of first-level apprenticeship are considered diligent students who have achieved academic success and deserve to be commended.
Now after being personally tested by Dean Bammer, Raymond's strength has been close to the intermediate level of the second-level wizard apprentice. Generally speaking, as long as he is not too lazy by nature, then in a year, Raymond can try to attack the third-level wizard apprentice.
There is a bottleneck for senior apprentices.
Feeling impressed by Raymond's unexpected strength, Dean Barmer, who was walking a little shaky, carefully avoided the place occupied by the black-maned bear, took Raymond out of the testing room on the third floor of the castle, and explained with emotion:
"Raymond, because my assistant Orin has been in the academy for more than thirty years, he has never seen a young second-level apprentice like you, so I have offended you many times before, so please bear with me."
Raymond, who was smiling and asking the black-maned bear to follow him, did not comment on this.
If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to board ships from other wizarding continents, Dean Balmer had to report in advance. Otherwise, with his current strength, Raymond would have enough confidence to board the ship directly.
Because Hailim, the humanoid shadow in the castle, once told him that these ships, which are specially used to transport potential wizard apprentices, must be reported in advance by the colleges in various places before they are allowed to board the ships.
In addition, in order to protect these potential apprentices from being plundered or harmed by dark wizards, the West Coast will keep the ship's information confidential before officially boarding the ship.
Therefore, when the time is approaching to board the ship, all potential wizard apprentices must go to the nearby wizard college to register, gather, and finally be escorted onto the ship by the faculty of the college.
At that time, Hailim of the Tori family was unwilling to leave her hometown and go to other continents where there were many wizards, so she stayed in her family's territory.
But for Hailim, her choice back then was probably a serious mistake.
Thinking of what the humanoid shadow Hailim said, after Raymond followed Dean Balmer to his office, Raymond raised his doubts.
According to Dean Barmer's explanation, the continent on the west coast once had an era when wizards were prosperous. However, with the outbreak of wars between wizards and the gradual lack of resources required by wizards, humans with wizard blood on this continent have
Less and less.
Therefore, after many wizard organizations withdrew from this continent, it became an area where dark wizards could infiltrate. It is said that there was an evil dark wizard thousands of years ago, who almost turned all humans on this continent into evil puppets.
Therefore, the powerful wizards born from this continent have set rules. All those who have wizard blood and want to embark on the path of wizards must pass the wizard academy test and reach the most basic first-level apprentice strength.
, only then can you have the qualification to continue your studies in other continents.
Standing at the window of the central castle of the college, Raymond stroked the black-maned bear's ear and listened to Dean Balmer's introduction. Raymond already had no doubt that he would be qualified to board the ship in three months.
But Dean Balmer, who gave a more detailed explanation than the humanoid shadow Hailim, finally solemnly warned Raymond that these wizard apprentices who board the ship every three years are said to be quite rare in the number of people who actually grow into official wizards.
In addition, few of the young men with wizard blood who boarded the ship came back again.
The lack of wizard resources on the west coast has led to the thinning of wizard blood, but the same benefit is that it is very safe here.
A second-level wizard apprentice can have great power on the west coast and enjoy a luxurious life that makes ordinary people envious.
But if you board a ship bound for other continents, you are probably embarking on a road of no return!
