From Baron to Lord

"I want to sign up too!"

"Sign up!"

The scene immediately became lively, and all the commoners began shouting to sign up.

Alan smiled slightly at this. He waved his hand, and behind him, a large group of people immediately appeared, carrying tables and chairs. They had a clear division of labor: some were responsible for recording, some for testing, and some for maintaining order and explaining the rules.

Watching the gradually forming queue of people signing up, Alan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Sir, you really are… unconventional in your actions."

Alman watched from the side, a twitch at the corner of his mouth as he spoke to Alan.

He never would have imagined that with a great chaos about to begin, every noble who knew the inside story was focused on rapidly training warriors or something similar.

Only Alan, truly, among all the nobles in the Southern Principalities who knew that turmoil was imminent, including the Grand Duke, was frowning all day, training warriors.

Only this Earl was living each day no differently than usual.

Admittedly, perhaps this lord was also developing things in secret, but his outward performance was too good. Anyone who didn't know better would think this guy had no idea what was going on!

First a beauty pageant, then a food festival, and now opening a school.

He really didn't know why, at a time like this, this lord had to waste so much energy and time doing these things.

"Being a person, the most important thing is to be happy."

Alan smiled, turned, and left. The school had already started enrolling students, and in a few days, it should be able to start classes and get on the right track.

As for why Alman was here, after all, neither Alan nor Sparrow had any experience in running a school.

Therefore, Alan deliberately inquired with Alman. Alman had followed the Roland Merchant Guild to many countries before, had extensive knowledge, and of course, knew how a school should enroll students.

To test for magical talent, they needed to use a special crystal ball for detecting magical talent, which only the Roland Merchant Guild had.

So Alan also called Alman from the Roland Merchant Guild over.

"Alright, I'll leave this to you. Sparrow, prepare for the start of school within two weeks," Alan instructed, then left in a cheerful mood.

Alman glanced at the relaxed Alan, then at the busy Sparrow. He silently sighed, "Viscount Sparrow, you really are working too hard."

"Oh! To serve the Lord is my honor!" Sparrow was covered in sweat but had a fanatical look on his face.

Alman was speechless. This was too fanatical…

For several busy days, commoners brought their children over one after another.

However, few children passed the tests during these days.

Especially for the three professions of mage, knight, and alchemist, it could be said that there were only a few dozen people. This was the total number of people in the three professions combined.

Among them, the number of people with magical talent was only seven, while the number of people who came to sign up was nearly two thousand, and this number was still constantly rising.

There were quite a few people with knightly talent, as many as twenty-five, several times more than mages.

There were also fourteen alchemists.

As for the rest, they were all assigned to industries such as commerce, medicine, blacksmithing, and so on.

These were all students personally selected by the teachers, with approximately one hundred students in each profession.

Three days later, registration ended.

The three professions of knight, mage, and alchemist only had five more knights, just enough to make thirty. The number of people in the other two professions remained unchanged.

For the first enrollment, the entire school recruited approximately seven hundred students, while the number of students who signed up was nearly six thousand.

After the enrollment deadline, there were both joy and sorrow in the entire Skywolf Territory.

Those who benefited were naturally happy beyond words, while those who did not get the benefits were full of envy.

The students were all arranged to live in the school, and formal classes would begin after a week.

During this week, Alan had people prepare the students' uniforms, formulate school rules, and also give the students some time to adapt.

Soon, a week passed, and on the first day of the Skywolf Academy's opening, Alan's system finally sent a notification. (Zhao Zhao's)

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for completing the task!"

"Congratulations, Host, for obtaining 150,000 experience points, and a Side Job Level Up Scroll * 1!"

At this moment, Alan, who was playing with Lucy and the nature spirits, suddenly revealed a smile.

He didn't care that Lucy and the nature spirits were still around him, and with a flip of his hand, a simple and mysterious scroll appeared in his hand.

"Eh! Alan, what is this?"

Lucy looked at the scroll that suddenly appeared in Alan's hand with slight surprise.

Alan smiled, "This is a treasure, Lucy. I hope you can bring me good luck."

He gently kissed Lucy, and Lucy's expression was slightly shy.

"Do you want to use the Side Job Level Up Scroll? After use, the scroll will be automatically consumed, and the Host's side job level will be randomly increased by 2-5 levels!"

An option appeared on the system interface.

Alan took a deep breath, "Use it!".

Chapter 185: Four Consecutive Level Ups! Saint-Realm Magister! (5 Request Subscription, Request Automatic Subscription, Request Monthly Tickets!)

"Alan! It's broken!"

Lucy stared wide-eyed as the scroll in Alan's hand instantly turned into specks of light and entered Alan's body. At the same time, powerful forces rushed into his mind.

The most fundamental power of a mage is mental strength. Mental strength can be used to absorb the surrounding magical elements through meditation and convert them into magic power for storage.

Mental strength restricts the amount of magic power reserves in a mage's body.

At the same time, mental strength also restricts the power of the magic that a mage can release.

The mental strength of a first-level mage can only allow himself to store the magic power of the current level in his body.

The current Alan is being strengthened in mental strength by a force.

Improving a mage's level is actually not difficult. There are only two requirements: first, the mental strength must meet the standard; and second, one must be able to release magic of the corresponding level by one's own power.

After the two conditions are met, one will naturally advance.

And Alan is currently breaking through the first condition, which is also the most important and basic condition.

At this moment, Alan only felt a coolness in his head, and his consciousness was clearer than ever before.

This feeling was very wonderful, as if in an instant, his entire consciousness had been sublimated.

Soon, Alan felt his mental strength break through a layer of window paper, and suddenly a indescribable sense of comfort came.

The magic power in Alan's body suddenly became active, and the surrounding magic elements began to surge.

Seventh-level mage!

This was not the end, just the beginning!

After all, this scroll 770 would increase by at least two levels!

Lucy stared wide-eyed. She could clearly feel the changes in Alan's body.

At this moment, Alan was enveloped in light, and his mental strength was still advancing rapidly.

Soon, the mental strength broke through again!

Eighth level!

Alan immediately held his breath and concentrated. He had already broken through two levels, which meant that from now on, it might stop!

Of course, Alan didn't want to take the lowest guarantee. What he wanted was to break through four, or even five levels in a row!

The power in his body, after a brief silence, began to surge again!

Powerful forces once again rapidly strengthened Alan's mental strength!

Soon, after a wave of coolness, Alan's mental strength reached the ninth level!

Ninth level!

He had reached the current level of Battle Qi so easily, and Alan was slightly nervous here.

Now was the time to decide whether he could become a Saint-realm today.

Alan took a deep breath.

The power in his body had not dissipated, which meant…

Bang!

Alan's mental strength reached a limit.

The originally comfortable feeling of advancement suddenly became painful.

Alan, whose mental strength had reached the ninth-level limit, felt as if a mountain had been stuffed into his head.

Heavy, painful, making it difficult to breathe.

Alan's face turned pale, and beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.

"Alan!"

Lucy called out with some worry. Alan did not respond. At this moment, he had no energy to respond to Lucy.

At this time, in his mind, his mental strength was still increasing!

This made his head ache, but he couldn't stop it.

Alan roared in a low voice. This kind of pain was enough to break anyone.

Lucy's face was tense. She hugged Alan and gently placed Alan's head on her lap.

She pressed her hands on both sides of Alan's head, gently massaging Alan.

Alan didn't know how long it had passed. The feeling of swelling pain could not dissipate in his mind, but as his mental strength continued to increase, the originally invisible mental strength actually showed a mist-like state.

After the mist-like state of mental strength appeared, all the mental strength that had originally filled Alan's entire mind was instantly absorbed.

And the mist-like mental strength in Alan's mind became more and more dense.

The massive qualitative change in mental strength made Alan feel relaxed, and the mist-like mental strength made him no longer feel a headache.

"Hoo!"
