wizards start with occlumency

Chapter 2
"Unqualified, next."

The girl next door who was in front of Link was also eliminated. Her eyes were red and her mouth was tightly pursed.

Link didn't pay much attention. He only had one thought at the moment:
Finally, it's my turn!
Before that, the entire army was wiped out, and no one qualified.

The four people of the same age standing behind Wizard Paro all showed a more or less proud or contemptuous look.

But they do have something to be proud of.

Wizard Paro landed on the Quite Islands and visited seven aristocratic territories, big and small, before he screened out four teenagers with qualifications above the third class.

These four people can be said to be one-in-a-million geniuses.

Moreover, once he is selected by the Paro wizard, his status will immediately undergo earth-shaking changes.

The aristocratic lords who are usually high above have to speak in a low voice when talking to them, and they have to put down their posture to curry favor with them.

Becoming a wizard apprentice, Wei Li has not yet joined the body, but the sweetness of power has been tasted first.

Link took a deep breath, stepped forward, and placed his hands steadily on the crystal ball.

He only felt two streams of air pouring into his body from his hands.

The cold air flow from the black transparent crystal ball flows from the left hand along the arm and neck into the brain.

The warm air from the colorless transparent crystal ball enters the viscera from the right hand along the arm and chest.

The two strands of airflow circled for a while, and then returned to the crystal ball along the original path.

The crystal ball began to emit light.

The colorless transparent crystal ball emits rich blue and green light, and the black transparent crystal ball emits very dazzling white light.

Wizard Paro, who had been squinting his eyes, suddenly widened his eyelids, and said in a slightly surprised voice, "Innate mental strength is 17, high-level affinity for water-type elements, high-level affinity for wood-type elements. The comprehensive score of wizard qualifications is in the fourth class."

After the voice fell, the entire castle hall fell silent.

Then, all kinds of eyes fell on Link, including envy, jealousy, and hatred.

There will always be people like this, what they can't get, and they don't want others to get it.

"Stand behind me."

Wizard Paro quickly returned to his cold demeanor and gave instructions softly.

"Yes."

Link bowed to Wizard Paro, walked to the left side behind Wizard Paro, and stood next to the blond girl.

Four peers, a pair of twins, a brown-haired boy with different eyes, and a blonde girl all nodded to Link at the same time.

Apparently, Link was accepted by them, and there was a vague sense of friendship on purpose.

Link returned the favor with a friendly smile.

He didn't know that the highest qualification among the four was the brown-haired boy with big and small eyes, and the fourth rank was lower.

The twin brothers and the blond girl were both in the third class.

As soon as Link came, he became the most qualified.

Wizard Paro revealed that the probability of being promoted to an official wizard with third-class qualifications is [-]% to [-]%, and the probability of being promoted to official wizards with fourth-class qualifications is [-]% to [-]%.

Calculated, wouldn't there be a [-]% chance of being promoted to an official wizard in the fourth class?

Of course, this algorithm is incorrect.

But there’s always a little convincing, right?
……

The wizard qualification test was completed and took a whole morning.

A total of 68 people from Viscount Holiday participated, and only Link Grande received a precious ticket to the main continent.

Viscount Holiday, who had been watching the inspection ceremony, was very happy.

Territorial nobles like them who are scattered on various islands and island countries in the Sea of ​​Storms are of great benefit to being able to transport a wizard apprentice to the main continent.

Not to mention rewards from wizarding organizations on the main continent, such as knight breathing, potions, rune items, etc., as apprentice wizards and even official wizards from territories are active in the main continent, the nobles of the territory don’t have to worry about coming from the mainland. The turmoil of the surrounding nobles.

What kind of me would I be if I met a wizard who cherished his homeland and went back to his hometown on a whim, only to find that the territory had been destroyed?

……

"Master Paro Wizard, I have prepared a banquet. Please come to the banquet and allow me to show my friendship as a landlord."

Viscount Holiday humbly extended an invitation to Wizard Paro.

"Ah."

Wizard Paro nodded slightly, responded indifferently, and then turned to tell Link: "You go home, pack some clothes and luggage, and say goodbye to your family. We are leaving in the afternoon."

Link was slightly taken aback when he heard the words. He didn't expect the schedule to be so tight, but he quickly realized that he saluted Wizard Paro and said, "Thank you Wizard Paro, I'll go back right away."

After speaking, Link walked out of the hall.

Viscount Holliday winked at the butler standing by.

The butler understood, and immediately went forward, accompanied Link to leave the castle hall, and arranged for a carriage to see him off.

This is really a bit of a homecoming.

A high-end carriage, exclusive for nobles, in addition to the coachman, there are also knight escorts.

If he is really a young man who has never experienced the world, he is afraid that he will be moved by Viscount Holiday to some extent.

Link's home is not too far from Lijue Castle. It takes more than half an hour to walk and only takes about 10 minutes by carriage.

The Grande family has already heard the news from the teenagers who were tested but eliminated after Link, and a large number of relatives who have close, not very close, or even close contacts on weekdays gather.

The head of the family, the taciturn blacksmith Grande, with a red face, accepted the blessings and congratulations from his relatives.

And Mrs. Grande (well... this title cannot be used until Link is chosen by the wizard) stood outside the door, looking in the direction of the Viscount's castle.

In the past, someone from the Viscounty of Holiday was chosen by wizards.

An elderly person like her knows that in the afternoon, the wizard will take people away.

What Mrs. Grande is thinking about at this moment is not the future wealth of the family, but the little son who was injured more than a year ago and has changed a lot since he woke up.

Finally, in Mrs. Grande's hopeless expectation, a noble and gorgeous carriage drove over.

Mrs. Grande lowered her head, rubbed her reddened eyes, turned around and entered the room, took out the package that she had arranged quickly after learning the news, and went to the carriage.

"mom……"

After the knight opened the car door, Link got out of the carriage, saw Mrs. Grande approaching, and shouted kindly.

Before he could say anything, Mrs. Grande had stuffed the package into Link's arms, grabbed his hands hard, but was silent for a long time.

After a while, Mrs. Grande grabbed her youngest son's hand and pushed him towards the carriage, her voice choked up and she said, "Go, little Link, study hard and don't miss home."

She didn't want Link to be entangled by relatives who had their own thoughts, and she didn't let go until he pushed Link into the carriage.

Link did not disobey Mrs. Grande and signaled the coachman to turn around and leave.

Through the curtain, Link saw Mrs. Grande standing there, waving her hands, watching the carriage leave.

Mothers naturally miss their children when they travel far away, but they always tell them not to worry about them.

It's not easy to be with you, but you can do it and cherish it.
