My Magic Age

The dean and magic instructors did not stay here to have dinner with us. They just ate some symbolic food and then left one after another.

The instructors probably also knew that many students still couldn't let go completely in their presence, and the banquet scene always seemed tepid and the atmosphere was never too enthusiastic. So the tutors passed through the side door through the corridor adjacent to the library, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. In the large dining hall, a senior in exquisite robes, accompanied by everyone cheering heartily, waved his hands and said loudly: " Come on, friends, turn up our music!"

Several senior senior students used the magic wands in their hands to cast out a piece of magic light, which was like a 'water therapy' spinning freely in the air. The sound was as clear as silver bells and filled the whole room with cheerful music. The magic piano in the corner played automatically, and the sound of the recorder was mixed in. The melody turned out to be so beautiful.

Encouraged by the seniors, some people started to raise their wine glasses high, and some even shouted: "Replace all those golden apple cider for appetizers with bitter and fragrant ale to celebrate the new school year." How can there be no ale at the dinner party?”

At this time, the waiters in the cafeteria finally brought out round oak barrels from the kitchen. The corks of the barrels were pulled out vigorously, and a strong aroma of wine wafted out. Noah told me privately: The colleges here in the Imperial Capital are used to holding various dinners or dances, as well as various other rich community activities. They believe that actively participating in these party-type activities can quickly integrate themselves into the group. , in order to adapt to life here as quickly as possible.

The moonstone in the crystal chandelier on the sky dome has emitted a gleaming white light, making the ceiling of the entire dining hall shine like bright stars in the night sky. Looking up, it feels like you are in the galaxy. A tall candle stand is placed every two meters on the dining table, with three white candles stuck on it that have been lit. Each candle emits a soft and warm light, and the light reflects on the exquisite food on the table. Platefuls of roasted chocobo legs and thinly sliced ​​ham were distributed to everyone's plates. , paired with buttered white bread and beef and potato soup, it can't help but whet your appetite. Dennis is one of the foodies. There is a high stack of barbecue and ham slices on his plate, and he is grabbing it with his hands. A bread stick as thick as an arm, smiling happily, looking like a child.

There was also a basket of unknown berries and strawberries on the dining table. Noah made himself a cup of fragrant milk tea, put one hand on the back of the chair, and kept looking back and forth on the dining table. After a while, , then he put his head next to my ear and whispered to me: "Jijia, I didn't know we had so many classmates. Where do you think they all live?"

"They are probably evenly distributed in other dormitories!" I said casually, but my eyes kept carefully observing the classmates around me, thinking that maybe I would spend the next four years with them. I didn't know their temperament, hobbies, or even their most basic names. I was full of curiosity about these young and unfamiliar faces.

The sky has darkened, and the light and shadow of the dinner party are reflected on the glass windows. The glasses are intertwined, and the waiters carrying delicious food and mellow wine are walking among the crowd holding wooden trays. Several seniors were humming songs softly, holding wine glasses, and stood up from their seats to follow the rhythm of the music. They gently twisted their bodies and walked towards the most beautiful girl in their respective circles amidst the cheers. , leading them onto the dance floor.

At this time, someone has moved an empty space at the front of the cafeteria, and several sweet-looking seniors are competing to be invited. Only the most popular girls in the circle will be invited to dance the first dance. Often, The boys who were invited were also very handsome. They danced in pairs on the dance floor, which was very pleasing to the eye.

In a jubilant atmosphere, this was the first time I saw Miss Esther, the life counselor of our class. She looked very young, if not for her wearing a black uniform and a badge that symbolized the teacher. , it is difficult for me to imagine her as our life counselor. In my impression, only those old women who look particularly old-fashioned, harsh, unkind, and dogmatic are willing to take this position.

However, it looks pretty good now, at least it makes me think that under the black glasses frame is a passionate and young face, and behind her are two older middle-aged female *** tutors. , obviously these two menopausal women don't look so easy to deal with. They have sullen faces and always feel as if someone owes her two gold coins.

Miss Esther held a list of names on parchment in her hand. While the freshmen on our side had not dispersed during the dinner, she took this opportunity to roll the names and divide them into classes.

After Miss Esther's explanation, we learned that our freshmen class had been divided into three classes because there were too many students. In the Green Empire, people very much admire fire magic. The empire's mages are far ahead of other factions in the research of fire magic. Therefore, the majority of people are motivated to become fire magicians. Only some of their own talents are really unsuitable. Only those who become fire magicians can learn other magics.

More than 150 new students were divided into three classes. According to Miss Esther, among the more than 150 new magicians, there were about 90 magicians who studied fire magic, so they could form two classes directly. She concentrated the magicians belonging to the fire system in two classes as much as possible according to the requirements of the academy. In order to make each class look evenly populated, I, a water magician, and several other special magicians were assigned to the fire system class 2. The remaining earth and wind magic freshmen were combined to form the comprehensive class 1.

Dennis, an earth magician, was assigned to the comprehensive class 1, while Noah and I became members of the fire system class 2. What surprised me was that when we all got together, I found that the students in the fire system class 2 all looked very well-off. From the magic robes they wore, it can be seen that most of them wore Misori robes, and some wore knowledge suits. On the contrary, the clothes of the fire system class 1 and the comprehensive class 1 looked not much different.

Noah was very excited to see that I was assigned to the same class with him, but he was also a little surprised. He whispered to me, "I thought you would go to Comprehensive Class 2 with Dennis."

"Oh?" I didn't understand why Noah said that.

"Did you also get into the Royal School of Magic through some kind of relationship?" Noah saw a huge question mark on my forehead, so he put his arm around my neck and whispered in my ear.

"My mentor gave me a letter of recommendation, and then I came here!" I explained to Noah.

After listening to me, Noah suddenly realized and said to me, "No wonder you were assigned to the same class with us. Who is your mentor? It's amazing that a letter of recommendation could get you into the Royal School of Magic!"

"Teacher Heidi, I guess you haven't heard of her! She is very famous in our El City." I scratched my head and said to Noah. I guess he wouldn't know Teacher Heidi's name.

Noah thought hard for a while, and finally sighed and said to me frustratedly: "You guessed right, I haven't heard of this name!"

The girls in the class all wore some accessories, and everyone seemed like a proud white swan, holding up their slender necks and looking at others with their snow-white chins. The boys held their chests high, gathered in twos and threes, with faint smiles on their faces, but they were divided into several small circles. Noah and I were in one of the circles. These people also lived in the same dormitory building as us, but they were on the first floor. Although they met each other before, they had no intersection.

Although Noah didn't say it too directly to me, I also found the special features of these three classes. It seems that we, who became the second class of the Fire Department, are in a forgotten corner. Although it seems that we freshmen look more glamorous than the other two classes, it makes me feel not so good.

Next, the three life counselors began to choose the classes they were responsible for. It felt very casual to me. Miss Esther humbly let the two female teachers choose the classes first. The two middle-aged female teachers looked at each other and decisively chose the two classes, leaving the Fire Department Class 2 to Miss Esther.

In fact, this series of steps ended directly in just over ten minutes. The two middle-aged female teachers then said a few words to the classes they were responsible for and turned around and left alone.

Miss Esther was willing to talk to us a few more words, and carefully recorded the dormitory building where each of us was, and finally left.

I looked at Miss Esther's back, and I had an inexplicable liking for her in my heart. I think she is a very good life counselor, at least she does her work very carefully. However, when I told this idea to Noah, Noah rated it as "naive".

In Noah's words: Maybe Miss Esther recorded our living place in detail so that she could find us as soon as possible when we, the restless magic students, made some moths!

…

The dinner was at its end, and some people had already started to leave. At this time, the most prestigious seniors in the college would often leave first. It felt like some stars walking on the red carpet. They were all celebrities in the college, and naturally attracted much attention.

Noah and I were sitting outside the cafeteria, on the railings in the corridor on the east side, watching with relish as a group of seniors left silently. They would occasionally whisper to their companions. Although their expressions seemed very natural and they spoke with a gentle smile, their arrogant demeanor and a series of actions were also very arrogant. Wherever they passed, the students on the side would make way, and these seniors left directly from the main entrance of the cafeteria.

They were like a unique landscape in the crowd. Wherever they went, they would often attract much attention. They seemed to live under the spotlight.

Noah whispered a few words beside me, but the information he brought shocked me.

So I whispered to Noah: "You mean those people are members of the Dragon Society?"

"Of course, they are the most powerful society in the Royal Magic Academy. Once you join this society, it means that you can walk sideways in the Royal Magic Academy. However, the prerequisite is that all members must have dragon blood." Noah said with great envy.

Watching them slowly walk over in the crowd, I could even see the innate pride on their faces, which looked very aristocratic.

I also said with envy: "I heard that it is not easy to inherit the blood of the dragon!"

Noah's eyes followed the group of people in the Dragon Society closely, and then he said as if in a trance: "Of course, among the wealthy families in our Green Empire, it is rare to have a strong person with the blood of the dragon. The blood of the holy dragon is definitely not something that can be bought with money. Those rare treasures are usually collected by legendary strongmen. Ji Jia, look carefully... Look... Do you see the family emblem on their chest?"

I don't know much about those family emblems. I had a deep impression before, because when I took a carriage with Qi Ge passing Lakeside Street, I saw some family stone emblems erected at the door of those lakeside mansions, but I was also very envious.

"Well! They seem to be very special, and the workmanship of the emblems is good!" I said this to Noah. I think the admiration in Noah's eyes is blind.

Noah didn't feel that way at all, and he still sighed and said, "Those badges are all badges of old and wealthy families. Those who can become dragon blood mages are all the oldest nobles in our empire. They should all be descendants of those nobles. After all, they are dragon blood mages..."

I don't worship the seniors of the Dragon Society as much as Noah does, so when a small group of magicians with their faces hidden in magic cone hats appeared behind me, I looked over with great curiosity. I didn't understand why they were so mysterious in the middle of the night and wore cone hats to cover their faces.

"These are seniors of the Starry Sky Society. If it weren't for the opening ceremony, it would be difficult to see them in public. They are all space magicians." A classmate who I just met explained to me. His eyes were thin and long, and he always looked like he was smiling.

He and I lived in the same dormitory building, and Noah and I joined their small circle. Just one meal made us familiar with each other.

"It would be great if I could enter the Starry Sky Society, one of the three major clubs. But even if I can't enter the Dragon Club and the Starry Sky Club, it would be great if I could enter the Sword and Rose Club!..." another classmate beside him said with emotion.
