Arcane Lord

The toy was made, but Shado's original idea was not realized. Next, he was going to conduct another inheritance ceremony selection inside the Tower of Time to fill in many projects.

Although the high-level mage trained in this way is somewhat sluggish, he is a high-level mage after all. He can at least assist him in casting spells in various experiments, and can also take care of certain experimental steps under his guidance.

On the same day, Sha Duo spread the news inside the Tower of Time through the Academy. Soon, a targeted training plan for all new mages and some outstanding third-level apprentices gradually became known to everyone.

All new mages or third-level apprentices who are selected for the targeted training plan can choose a certain direction according to their own wishes and perform inheritance ceremonies to achieve the purpose of rapid training.

Once selected into the plan, a third-level apprentice is deemed to have passed the first-level mage's job assessment and becomes a formal mage.

The new mage refers to those who are trained under the new system and pass the assessment of at least the first-level mage class.

Those selected for the targeted training program will undergo a period of tutoring after completing the inheritance ceremony, and then there will be an assessment. If they pass this time, they can directly enter the corresponding project or project.

For example, Shado's resource demiplane project, or the plane exploration center's sky survey project (including specific projects such as ethereal layer detection, astral detection, shadow plane monitoring, etc.), or the lunar exploration project led by Saville.

…

In just two days, Xia Duo received more than 300 applications, including many outstanding third-level apprentices, such as a third-level apprentice named Puero.

This guy entered the Tower of Time during the New Year in the midsummer of 838 Nese Calendar. It was only a little over a year ago, but in just over a year, he completed a series of courses with extremely excellent results.

In August of this year, he passed the assessment and became a third-level apprentice. Although he may not be close to the new mage standard now, his future is absolutely limitless.

For a genius like Puairo, Shado certainly hopes that he can join his project, but at the same time, he also knows that Puairo can have a broader future.

The inheritance ceremony seems to put a lot of knowledge and experience into the user's mind at once, but the lack of practice will make the person who accepts the inheritance weak.

There may be a few geniuses who can ignore this shortcoming, but Chateau is not sure whether Puairo is this kind of special genius. If an originally good genius is crippled, the gain will outweigh the loss.

Therefore, for people like Puairo who have already shown outstanding talents, Shado prefers normal training. Allowing them to skip a grade is considered the most appropriate training method, allowing them to grow as quickly as possible according to their talents.

After all, the inheritance ceremony cannot allow people to comprehend all the knowledge and experience passed down at once, and it also needs to be absorbed later.

For geniuses, it's hard to say whether this is a more efficient way of learning.

…

Xia Duo almost did not hesitate to exclude Puairo's name from the targeted training plan. Not only Puairo, but also other people who showed outstanding talents, he did not choose any of them.

Of course, it’s not that the worse the performance is, the easier it is to be selected.

Xia Duo knows very well that in the early stages of civilization development, there are trade-offs. For example, in his hometown, many people only attended an elementary school or middle school before devoting themselves to specific work.

Although progress can be made through self-study or other methods in the later stage, it is inevitable that many talents will be wasted.

Let’s just say that Xia Duo’s territory is like this now——

The popularization of magic education is in progress, but due to various reasons, it is only available to children under the age of sixteen. Is it true that there is no potential magic genius among those over the age of sixteen?

not necessarily.

In the future, as the territory develops, those potential magic geniuses will also have the opportunity to be exposed to magic, and they may also achieve good results, but it is better to discover them and actively cultivate them than now.

What is lost in those wasted years may not be erased by later discovery of talent.

But Xia Duo still will not popularize magic to all people over the age of sixteen at this time. At most, he will only open some small openings and allow them to learn on their own. If they achieve success, they will be absorbed into the Tower of Time.

…

In the study, Xia Duo carefully checked the more than 300 applications with transcripts, and finally selected 100 people from them.

Except for the few people who have shown the most outstanding talents, the one hundred people he selected can be regarded as the best in the Tower of Time.

More than half of them entered the Tower of Time in the year 837 of the Nese calendar. This is the most direct evidence. In less than two years, they became relatively complete new mages in all aspects, already surpassing most of their peers.

In the current Tower of Time, the first batch of students to enroll after the system reform failed to become new mages!

It's not that they can't cast level 1 spells. If they follow the traditional rating method, they can be rated as level 1, level 2 or even level 3 wizards.

But in the Tower of Time, if you want to obtain any level, you need to pass a certain number of job assessments first. Passing the assessment does not necessarily mean how powerful the person is, but it can at least guarantee a certain level of offline.

Nowadays, the recruitment of people in the independent research laboratories of the Tower of Time depends on the job level. Unless there are more obvious and outstanding conditions, it is possible to be more flexible.

But as the number of new mages in the Tower of Time continues to increase, popular research labs, such as David's Lab or Horst's Mass Production Design Lab, receive new resumes almost every month.

Not only are the new mages who pass the job assessment every month looking for jobs, there are also those who have already joined other research labs and want to change jobs.

In this case, it is undoubtedly the most efficient to directly screen job ranks. After all, the job of the research office is to conduct research, rather than spending a lot of time interviewing all job applicants.

Just like in Xia Duo's hometown, many large factories will first screen resumes when recruiting people. No matter how strong the actual ability of ordinary people is, once the academic threshold is not met, they may be eliminated in the first step.

In the Tower of Time, even though Xia Duo knew that this method might miss some talents, he still had to take the initiative to provoke this mode.

But similarly, he also made some openings for those who lacked in assessment but had other excellent abilities, such as applying for independent research laboratories.

This channel only needs to go through a preliminary screening with a low threshold to remove those applications that are too outrageous. All the remaining applications will be reviewed by Xia Duo personally. As long as they are indeed meaningful and not repeated with others, the pass rate is actually very high. High.

Xia Duo encouraged new mages to establish their own independent research laboratories. Even if he did not allow those people to establish their own independent research laboratories, he would still carry out research in various directions in the name of the Tower of Time.

Independent research room, independence means that you can study the direction you like or are good at, instead of obeying the arrangements of the Tower of Time.

As for income, it is relatively independent. The Tower of Time will provide certain support. If it cannot continue to produce results, it will be more difficult to apply for new projects in the future.

No matter how bad it is, we can only undertake the projects designated by the Tower of Time. Otherwise, we can't even support our researchers, so why should we set up an independent research laboratory?
