Chapter 31: Entrance Examination!

And this Caruso in front of him had been taught by Mage Cass since he was young. This proved that his talent in magic was absolutely not bad.

Therefore, under these assumptions, the attitude of the guards became even more enthusiastic.

Also because of the other party’s change in attitude, Caruso took the opportunity to ask about the Holy Orchid Magic Academy.

It would have been better if he did not ask. Once he asked, the group of people immediately became excited.

“Respected Sir Mage, I am the leader here. My name is Deluca. Are you going to take the examination at the magic academy?”

“Yes,” answered Caruso.

“Oh, Respected Sir Mage, this is your first time here. The geographical environment of Holy Orchid City is very complicated. Please allow me to bring you there personally, okay?”

Deluca seemed to have seen his idol at this time. His tone was excited and his actions were fierce as he stood in front of Caruso. He said every word with great anticipation and caution.

Hearing that someone was willing to lead the way, Caruso was naturally very eager. He did not consider why the other party was so excited to lead the way and directly nodded in agreement.

Once he agreed, Deluca directly threw the weapon in his hand to the side. Then, he said to the crowd, “I’m going to lead this mage to the Holy Orchid Magic Academy. You guys stay here and guard it well.”

When he said this, his tone clearly became much more serious when he said the word “mage.”

Similarly, after he said this, the people around him all nodded and looked at Deluca with envy in their eyes.

Caruso did not know why these guys were so excited.

To the city gate guards, especially those who stood here and were only responsible for registering information…

This group of people were all relatively strong commoners but, because of the hard work and a little power, they naturally earned much more than civilians. In this case, their descendants would be able to receive their care and benefits, they were able to come into contact with the mage industry at a young age.

For example, Deluca’s son was a one-star apprentice mage and was only twelve years old.

This was great news for Deluca’s family.

For this reason, Deluca naturally came into contact with the nobles. When he came into contact with the mages, he would be very enthusiastic.

After all, if he could leave a good impression on a talented mage, they might be able to help him in the future?

As for the other guards, they also wanted to wait for Caruso to go to the Holy Orchid Magic Academy. Not only would they be able to cling on to him. At least in the future, when they drank ale in the tavern, they could brag to their friends about their mage friends.

This was something worth bragging about.

…

Caruso and Deluca had already walked from the top of the city wall for more than an hour.

During this hour, he saw many things that he had never seen before along the way.

There were nobles in luxurious carriages speeding past him.

There were merchants with gorgeous clothes hawking outside the shops.

It was not an exaggeration to describe the city as prosperous.

Just like that, Caruso unknowingly walked to the magic academy with an admiring attitude.

The Holy Orchid Magic Academy was located in the middle of the city.

According to Deluca’s introduction, the academy was located in the most prosperous area, just like the CBD[1] area of the city.

There were all kinds of magic-related shops everywhere.

“Respected Mage, I will send you up to here.” Deluca looked around and said goodbye with respect.

“Thank you, Mr. Deluca.” Caruso also thanked the enthusiastic Deluca.

“No, no, no. It is my honor to be able to serve the Respected Mage.” Deluca was obviously shocked by Caruso’s words and immediately answered in fear and trepidation.

Caruso felt that everything was good in the magic world, except for the hierarchy between people.

However, after experiencing it a few times, he was no longer interested in it.

With a slight smile, it was over.

Soon, under Deluca’s gaze, he entered the gate of the Holy Orchid Magic Academy.

At this time, it was the enrollment day of the Magic Academy. Many people of his age walked into the academy under the gaze of the elders.

Holy Orchid Academy, as the only magic academy in Holy Orchid City, its architecture was not something that ordinary nobles could build.

The entire academy gave Caruso the feeling that it was similar to the magic school in Harry Potter.

In the distance was a green path leading to the castle reminiscent of ancient Europe in the Middle Ages.

There were all kinds of patterns cut out by gardeners on the roadside. There were warriors riding horses, magic dragons with bloody mouths, strange elves, and mages who lowered their heads like they were chanting.

Under the scenery along the road, Caruso soon reached the end of the road.

As soon as he arrived, there was a place that looked like an information desk. When he saw Caruso, he opened his mouth and said.

“Go to the right for the assessment!”

After hearing that, Caruso nodded his head in gratitude and then drove to the corridor on the right.

After passing through the corridor, Caruso followed the large group of people and soon arrived at an empty square.

When they arrived, they saw hundreds of young men and women lining up.

In front of these people were a few instructors wearing black magic robes.

There was a table in front of them with two crystal balls on it.

“Ninth-grade. Wood element talent. Low-level perception. Fail. Next, Krishna.”

“Eighth-grade. Fire element talent. Low-level perception. Pass. Next, Barumbi.”

“No magic talent detected. No perception detected. Fail. Next, Brooklyn.”

Soon, when Caruso walked into this place, he saw the instructor wearing a black magic robe. When he saw the group of participants placing their hands on the crystal ball and the crystal ball emitting all kinds of different things… the instructor’s tone was cold as the results of the assessment were reported.
