Yesterday, my computer was down, and I was using my notebook to code various habits. The response was slow, and I almost didn’t update it.

I upgraded my computer today, but I’m not used to using the keyboard, orz!

"So this is magic." After two nights and one day of continuous browsing, Ito Cheng finally carefully read through the 103 magic knowledge books he bought and said to himself with a sudden look on his face.

"Through special meditation methods, you can change your mental frequency to cater to the ubiquitous ether element in the outside world, and then mix the two to form the so-called power source - magic power, and then use this fundamental power according to the composition of tricks and magic Method, combine the necessary gestures, casting materials and incantations to achieve magic casting! And the advanced ones can use their own experience in using magic to subtract some useless code words and simple gestures in the incantations. Action to achieve the purpose of casting spells quickly!" Then, Ito Cheng, who closed the book and put it away, continued.

"***" Then Ito Cheng turned his head and looked at the pencil on the bedside table and suddenly opened his mouth and recited a short mantra.

In an instant, the pencil seemed to be caught by an invisible big hand, slowly floating up from the bedside table and floating towards Ito Cheng's side.

"It seems that the [Hunyuan Power] in my body, which has been purified many times and gradually moves closer to the power of the world, can also serve as the source of power and perform magic instead of magic power." He reached out and took the pencil floating in front of him. Ito Cheng, who flipped his fingers to create gorgeous strokes, chuckled.

"I just don't know whether this versatility is only useful for zero-level non-attribute magic, or whether it will also be useful for attribute magic and other spells that will be upgraded in the future." Then, Ito Cheng frowned slightly and thought.

"Unfortunately, although there are some intermediate and low-level contents in these more than one hundred books, apart from the commonly used tricks that every apprentice mage can master, there is only one first-level magic that can be learned by formal magicians. It's a pity that the magic is an energy bomb with the same properties, so it can't be used to test my conjecture. It seems that it is necessary to go to the library to browse books." He flicked his thumb with his fingers and flicked the pencil in his hand again. Ito Cheng stood up and said after returning to the bedside table.

"But before that, you have to go to the Magicians Association to get an identity. Otherwise, even if you can enter the library through the door, you may be stopped in front of the book wall."

Thinking of this, Ito Cheng no longer hesitated, walked out of the room and left the [Holiday Inn] where he lived, and walked towards the Magician's Association located in the center of Meilin Street near Left Street.

[Holiday Inn] is located within the Right Street area close to the center of Merrion Street. It's not that far from Zuojie Street. Therefore, Ito Cheng did not spend much time. Then we arrived in front of the Magician Association, which had a weird overall shape but was full of magician style in every corner. The building was three stories high. And stepped in without hesitation.

Even from the outside, the Magicians Association building looks like the tube towers that were seen everywhere in China in the 1990s, giving people a shabby and aggrieved feeling. But as soon as I walked into the hall of the Magician Association, I realized that the reality was not what I imagined. At least the feeling Ito Cheng saw inside and outside was very different.

I saw that the hall of the Magicians Association did not know whether they used magic circles or hired super masters to use powerful magic to expand the space, making the entire hall space very huge, even if more than a hundred people were staying here at the same time. It didn't seem crowded at all.

At the same time, the floor of the hall of the Magicians Association is completely paved with obsidian stones that are absolutely pure and can be used as magic materials. The pitch black color reflects a faint fluorescent light, filling the entire Magicians Association with a sense of mystery and solemnity. .

In the inner part of the hall, two female staff members with apprentice-level magic badges on their collars were sitting behind two wooden tables separated from each other. They were browsing unknown magic books with their heads down, clasping their hands and doing Training in magic operations.

"Sorry to bother you." Ito Cheng walked up to one of the female apprentices and said softly.

"What's the matter with you?" Hearing the greeting, the disturbed female apprentice raised her head and asked with a slight frown after discovering that there was no magic fluctuation on Ito Cheng's body and no badge representing the existence of a magician.

"I want to register as a magician." Ito Cheng didn't care about the female apprentice's expression, and said softly with a smile on his face.

When the female apprentice heard this, she first glanced at Ito Cheng in surprise. Then she calmed down, closed the book in her hand and put it aside. She took out a magic letter and a magic writing pen from under the wooden table and handed them over. To Ito Naomichi, "Please add the information sheet."

Ito Cheng, who had been prepared for this process, nodded, lowered his head, picked up the magic writing pen made of unknown bird feathers, and started writing on the magic letter finger that exuded a strange smell.

"Name: Chen Xicheng, age: 19 years old, born in mainland China..." Ito Cheng wrote his information one by one according to the table on the letter paper without any pause.

Among them, in order not to make his identity as an Oriental appear too abrupt in the magical world, Ito Cheng deliberately used his other name and identity as information to write in the form.

"Here." After a moment, Ito Cheng, who had filled out the information he could give roughly, handed the form back to the female apprentice.

The female apprentice picked up the form and examined it briefly. After seeing that there was nothing wrong with it, she nodded. Then she took out a round copper iron plate with a magic staff and stars engraved on the surface and exuded a faint magic wave and handed it to Ito. become.

"Take it and go to the second floor, the fifth room from the left." The female apprentice said.

"Oh." Ito Cheng took the bronze medal and nodded, turned around and walked away from the female apprentice, and climbed up the stairs not far away to the second floor.

"Dang-dang-dang..." Ito Cheng, who came to the room as instructed, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door.

"Come in." The next moment, a male voice with a thick voice came from the door.

Ito Cheng was not polite after receiving the instructions. He reached out and opened the door and walked into the room. Then a somewhat slovenly middle-aged man wearing a light black mage robe with two wide silver-white lines tattooed on the cuffs came into Ito Cheng's sight.

"He's actually a two-star mage..." Ito Seishin said, glancing at the silver thread tattooed on the middle-aged man's cuffs without leaving any trace.

Here I have to mention the classification of magicians in the Demon Realm. In the Demon Realm, there are six levels of magicians, namely apprentice mage, formal mage, one-star mage, two-star mage, three-star mage and legendary legendary mage. The common level conversion rules between them and the outside world are that the apprentice mage is equal to the outside world's D level, the official wizard is equal to the C level, the one-star mage is equal to the B level, and so on until the three-star mage is S level...

Among them, mages with three-star strength and some people with less than three-star strength but who have made outstanding contributions in various aspects of magic can receive the title of magician, which represents honor.

"Come for a test." The middle-aged man looked at Ito Cheng and said.

"I don't know, the receptionist downstairs just asked me to come here with this thing." Ito Cheng said, gesturing to the middle-aged man with the copper iron plate in his hand.

"That's right." The middle-aged man confirmed, and then asked again, "What level of mage are you planning to certify?"

"Can you tell me the certification standards?" Ito Cheng did not immediately answer the man's question, but asked instead.

"If you are a certified apprentice mage, you only need to use three zero-level tricks on me in front of me. If you are a formal mage, you need to use five zero-level tricks and two first-level spells in front of me. A one-star mage has five first-level spells and two second-level spells, and a two-star mage has five second-level spells and two third-level spells. The specific types and categories are not limited." The middle-aged magician glanced lightly. After taking a look at Ito Cheng, he introduced.

"Then I will certify you as an apprentice." Ito Cheng, who had only mastered a few zero-level tricks in the book, said.

"Okay. When I tell you to start, just hold that copper badge and perform a trick in front of me." The middle-aged man nodded indifferently. Then he picked up a black hard fingerboard and a magic writing pen with several pieces of magic letter paper on it from the low table nearby. While speaking quietly to Ito Cheng.

"Okay." Ito Cheng, who held the copper badge in his hand again, nodded and agreed.

"Are you ready?" asked the middle-aged man who looked at Ito Cheng again, and then after Ito Cheng nodded to confirm, he said, "Start."

As the middle-aged man spoke. Ito Cheng, who closed his eyes and took a deep breath, slowly opened his eyes. While mobilizing the [Hunyuan Power] and mental power in his body, he began to chant a spell and cast his first zero-level trick on the middle-aged man-- Light spell.

In an instant, Ito's half-raised upper right hand flashed slightly, and a ball of pale white light the size of a fist appeared in his hand, illuminating the somewhat dim room.

"What a weird magic power, is it a newly awakened wizard?" The middle-aged man who carefully observed the light spell in Ito Cheng's hand said with a slight frown, then lowered his head and started writing on the magic letter paper in his hand.

"Okay, next one." Then, the middle-aged man said.

After receiving the instructions, Ito Cheng first dispersed the light spell in his hand, and then recited the spell and cast another zero-level spell he had mastered - the magic hand.

In an instant, an invisible energy suddenly appeared in the dim room. He grabbed a small prop prepared in the room and controlled it to float slowly in front of him and hover.

"Next." The middle-aged man said, still observing himself for a few seconds and writing something on the magic letter paper.

Ito, who sent the small props in front of him back to their original places with magic hands, dispersed the magic hands, then chanted the spell again, and cast the last zero-level trick - magic trick on the middle-aged man.

It's just that the magic trick is a semi-deceptive trick. It has no direct effect when it occurs. Everything can only be judged by the middle-aged man's own perception.

"That's it." After a few seconds, the middle-aged man said. Then he tore off a piece of the magic letter in his hand and handed it to Ito Naomichi, "Take this evaluation sheet and go back to the lobby on the first floor and hand it to the apprentice who receives you."

"Okay." Ito Cheng, who reached out to take the magic letter and looked down at the content written on it, nodded.

"Magic purity: c level, magic control power: b+ level, magic stability: b+ level, magic fineness: b level, magic... comprehensive evaluation: b+ level, grade: apprentice, evaluation: a, evaluator: Loren De-Sal-Maifandou," it read on the magic stationery.

"Thank you." After reading the contents on the letter, Ito Cheng raised his head and thanked the middle-aged man Lorende Sal Mayifandu, turned around and left the test room, followed the original path back to the lobby on the first floor, and stood again In front of the female apprentice who received him.

"Here you go." Ito Cheng handed the evaluation sheet to the female apprentice and said.

"Give me the bronze medal I gave you before." The female apprentice who took the evaluation book and checked it put it together with the information Ito Cheng had filled in before, and then said to I Tocheng.

Hearing this, Ito Cheng honestly handed the bronze medal back to the female apprentice.

The female apprentice who received the bronze medal quickly took out another one from under the table, which was basically the same shape, except that there were no stars on the surface. Instead, the copper plate was replaced by a book. She put it together in her hand with the copper plate handed over by Ito Cheng, and waited for the two to send out a sound together. After seeing a weak fluorescent light, he handed the new bronze medal to Ito Cheng.

As for the original bronze medal, it was put into a black wooden box with a complicated magic circle engraved on the surface, along with the evaluation book and data sheet, and was put away.

"This is your apprentice badge. With it, you will be qualified to enter any industry under the name of the Magic Association. In addition, you can also take it to the library on the third floor and receive a magic notebook for free. In addition to these two items You can learn other details about the authority from this magic handbook." The female apprentice who took out another thin black leather notebook said while handing it to Ito Cheng.

"Okay." Ito Cheng nodded and said after receiving the magic hand. Then he stopped disturbing the female apprentice's study, turned around and left her, and walked up the stairs to the library on the third floor, preparing to receive the free magic notebook.

"This is your magic notebook, please keep it." In front of the library on the third floor, an old woman handed a black leather notebook to Ito Cheng and said.

"Thank you." Ito Cheng thanked him after taking the notebook, and then lowered his head to check it in front of the old woman.

"It's really apprentice-level notes... The whole book is all about magic-related knowledge. It looks like a training manual for new workers." After a while, Ito Cheng, who had probably browsed through the notes, sighed inwardly. road.

Then he nodded to the old woman again, put away his notebook, turned back to the lobby on the first floor, left the Magicians Association and walked straight to the library on Center Street.

This time, Ito Shigei, who took the lead in fastening the magic apprentice badge, was not blocked by the staff and walked into the library hall smoothly. But soon the way was blocked again by a large fence. (To be continued...)
