Moon Witch, embark on the journey!

Even the other female apprentices had no objection, but Senna became jealous and pointed them out directly, thus destroying the tacit understanding.

The blond boy on Luna's side twitched his mouth, and his expression was not very good for a moment, but he quickly restrained himself, turned around and said to Luna apologetically:

"I apologize for my companion's impoliteness. I will introduce my friends to you when I have the chance."

After saying that, he turned and left. Now that he had been exposed, forcibly bringing a junior apprentice into the social circle seemed a bit unseemly, as if he was announcing to the public that he could lower his status for beauty.

Being laughed at by other wizards is intolerable for the direct descendants of a wizard family.

"It's okay. I don't mind."

Luna had just finished answering when Senna on the other side deliberately raised her voice a little, staring at her and saying:

"I remember that all members of the Helit family have black hair, right? What's going on with this young lady?"

After thinking about it, there was no need to hide it. If they really wanted to investigate, it would be impossible to hide it. Luna smiled slightly:

"I am not a member of the Herlitt family, just a friend of Miss Claire."

"It turns out that you don't even have the noble bloodline of a wizard!"

"Hey! That woman over there! Sister Luna is the one the eldest lady said herself is very talented!"

Ken, the little boy next to Luna, couldn't help but yelled, which surprised her. Gina, another little girl, didn't have the courage to speak, but just nodded in agreement.

"Tsk, he is just a lowly commoner, he just got lucky enough to curry favor with the wizard nobles..."

Senna seemed unwilling to offend the real members of the Helit family, even if they were still very young. Luna did not respond to her at all, as if she had not heard anything.

Feeling bored, Senna was too lazy to continue and turned to talk to other girls nearby.

After all this back and forth, the other young nobles had completely given up the idea of ​​contacting Luna and implicitly excluded her from the circle.

However, even Senna was secretly despised by them, and they looked down on her. Senna was out of place among these noble descendants of wizard families - she was simply unable to hide her thoughts.

"These little devils are quite scheming."

Luna was unmoved by all this, she came here just to learn more wizard knowledge and lay a solid foundation on this path. The less useless communication the better, it would be better to say that she should thank this little girl for helping her clear the trouble.

More people joined in, and soon the number of apprentices reached nearly 20. About half were children around ten years old, and the other half were teenagers.

Even the children were all apprentices, and not even one of the juniors was at the beginner level. The previous Shuster and the later teenager both gave off the feeling of being close to being high-level apprentices.

The apprentices were divided into three or four circles. Luna urged the two children who followed her to get to know their peers. The brave Ken soon joined one of them with Gina.

Luna sat in the corner by herself and read "Basics of Witchcraft Models". She had only mastered one apprentice-level witchcraft, the 'Fire Bomb Spell', and was currently preparing to analyze the 'Shield Spell'.

This is also one of the most important witchcraft at the apprentice level. It can offset the enemy's direct attack witchcraft and is a witchcraft that all apprentices must master when fighting.

"Wow, I didn't expect that not only are you so weak, but you can't even do something so basic."

Luna frowned at the mocking voice beside her. Even if she was mocked just now, it was not as annoying as being disturbed while studying.

Whoever hinders me from studying is my enemy!

She glanced at the brown-haired girl Senna who came to her side and whispered:

"You have a good relationship with them, why are you here?"

Senna didn't even notice the sarcasm in her words. Her face froze slightly and she said stubbornly:

"Those slutty bitches only know how to please boys. They really tarnish the honor of the nobility!"

As she spoke, she turned around and glared at the female apprentices who were chatting happily with the teenagers.

Seth was a little anxious. She didn't know why her actions just now didn't make her the center of attention. Instead, she was excluded by her former companions. Unconsciously, she ran to the only guy weaker than her to seek a sense of existence.

"That's it."

Luna thought, aren't you the same as them? Didn't you come here to cause trouble because you liked that Shuster? That guy is obviously the core of a small circle, and he is probably being watched closely by those female apprentices.

"You're cute." Silly and cute.

"what?"

Senna didn't know why the other party said such a thing. Looking at the silver-haired girl's extremely beautiful face, which was enough to make most girls jealous, her brain stopped working and she said something inexplicably:

"You, you are also very beautiful."

"..."

Luna was completely speechless at this moment, and even the hidden anger in her heart disappeared completely. She looked at this guy and couldn't help laughing out loud:

“Haha, hahahaha…you’re so funny!”

The silver-haired girl laughed so hard that she fell backwards with laughter. Her fair face was slightly flushed and even her jewel-like blue eyes were misty.

No matter how stupid Senna was, she knew that she was laughing at her. But as she looked at her beautiful blushing face looking at her, she suddenly lost her previous disgust.

"...Excuse me."

Soon Luna stopped smiling. She pointed to the place beside her, looked at Senna and said:

"Don't you want to sit down?"

"Oh......"

Senna, who had completely forgotten what she was doing here, sat down blankly, and then looked at this hateful guy who pushed the book towards her in a very familiar manner and asked:

"I don't quite understand the structure of this seventh standard model. How can I build mental power..."

"Well, first..."

After answering subconsciously, Senna was still a little dazed. What am I doing now?

26. Select Start

As time went by, the number of apprentices waiting in the hall stopped increasing. The alchemy puppets delivered lunch in the middle of the journey, and it was soon afternoon.

The petite girl with brown curly hair was looking mad at the moment. She glared at the silver-haired girl and said:

"I don't know! Besides, why should I tell you!"

The speed at which the other party learned and understood was astonishing. In less than half a day, Senna's knowledge was almost completely emptied out. It was completely different from her imagination that she had been able to get in by currying favor with the eldest daughter of the Helit family and using connections.

"Hey~ He's obviously a mid-level apprentice."

Luna's disappointed expression made the proud girl furious. She racked her brains for a long time and then said:

"I don't understand your question! But according to my grandfather, there are roughly several directions..."

After the explanation, Senna realized that a lot of time had passed. Why was she still hanging out with this annoying guy!

"I'm leaving! Stop bothering me!"

Looking at the girl's back as she ran away, Luna felt a little sorry. She was at a stage where she needed to learn new knowledge, and she had finally found such a stupid scapegoat.

"Forget it, I've squeezed enough out of it anyway."

She continued to read with her head down.

After a while, the sound of small leather boots came from the side, and the petite curly-haired girl ran back unknowingly.

"Why are you back again?"

Luna turned the pages without looking up and ran her fingers through her silver hair.

"Humph, that damned Litila, she actually slandered me in public!"

It seemed that the plan to reintegrate into the circle of young nobles had failed miserably, which was completely expected.

"Give up. You can't beat others with your scheming."

"How do you know if you don't try? Damn it, the two newcomers behind her are also speaking for her! I shouldn't waste my time here with you!"

Senna's face was filled with regret and resentment emanated from her body.

"You might as well study hard with me. Once you become a high-level apprentice, you may still have a chance."

Luna rarely gave a kind reminder. But Senna just curled her lips:

"You think I don't know? But Lian Xiu Te hasn't even become a high-level apprentice yet. There are only a handful of high-level apprentices of fifteen years old in the organization."

"So Claire is really amazing."

Claire wasn't much older than them, but she was already beyond the level of an ordinary apprentice. Luna knew that she had become a high-level apprentice two years ago.

Senna couldn't return to her original circle and couldn't calm down, so she just chatted with Luna casually.

"Don't bother me anymore, go and play, go!"

"Haha, I found your weakness!"

Luna wanted to read alone, but was disturbed by this guy from time to time. But seeing Senna running around like a puppy and having fun, she couldn't say anything bad to him.

Soon, the mentors arrived.

More than 20 boys and girls stopped chatting and looked solemn, waiting for the most important step that would determine their future fate after joining the organization.

More than a dozen wizards of different appearances, ages, and temperaments walked into the reception hall. They all exuded a strong aura that made the apprentices feel pressured. Some smiled kindly at the apprentices, while others glanced at them coldly.

The one walking in front was a pitch-black puppet. Its metallic face showed no emotion. It spoke first, and even the voice could not tell whether it was male or female:

"Dear apprentices, I am Coenso, the director of the Dark Ring Apprentice Training Department. I believe most of you have heard of my name."

None of the apprentices dared to speak. Even the senior apprentices like Xu Te were trembling slightly, waiting for the other party to speak.

Luna was also a little nervous. According to Claire's previous introduction, this wizard was a second-level advanced wizard, whose strength far exceeded that of a formal wizard. He was one of the true top leaders of the organization.

The person who came here seemed to be just a puppet, and there was nothing special about him.

"Let's not waste any more time. You are all guaranteed official apprentices. The organization will arrange the best resources and mentors for you. Please study hard and become a real official wizard."

"Your information has been sent to all the instructors. Please select your own apprentices."

After just a few words, the metal puppet fell silent, and the powerful feeling it had just emitted disappeared completely.

"The Lord has left."

Although the other party had no ill intentions, not only the apprentices but even the mentors seemed to be relieved.

One of the bald male wizards looked at the apprentices below with a smile. He touched his smooth head and seemed to sigh:

"You are so young! It reminds me of when I first joined the organization."

"King Kong, you are such a vulgar guy, are you trying to do the same thing?"

Another official wizard laughed and joked.

"What's wrong? I was young and frivolous once too."

"Humph, I see you are no different now. The day before yesterday, you tore a winter bear apart with your bare hands in the Ice Cave..."

The official wizards started joking and chatting one by one, completely ignoring the group of apprentices who were waiting nervously.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Suddenly, an unfriendly and cold voice interrupted the wizards' reminiscence. He didn't look like a human at all, or to be more blunt, he was just a skeleton with green fire in his eyes.

"I still have work to do over at Shadow Lake! Stop wasting time!"

The mentors stopped talking one by one, and no one objected.

Luna recognized him immediately. This was Black Skull, a madman who practiced necromancy and turned himself into an undead. He had a strange temperament and liked to torture his opponents. It was said that even his apprentices could not escape his fate. The three-year survival rate was less than 10%, and the personalities of those who survived became strange and cold.

Although he is a top-level official wizard, he is also a mentor who should never be chosen from the list given by Claire.

The Black Skull glanced at them, chuckled, and made a strange and cold voice:

"Who is willing to become my disciple? I am considered the strongest mentor in the organization when it comes to the undead and negative energy."

"..."

After a while, no one answered. Black Skull seemed a little disappointed and muttered:

"Nowadays, the young ones in the family are all very smart. Forget it, I'll go to the civilian apprentices to choose."

Although he was cruel, he would not take the initiative to offend the apprentices of these wizard families. After saying this, he left the house first without caring about anything.

Civilian wizard apprentices have no right to refuse a mentor. They don't even have a way to learn about their mentors. They might be very happy if they are chosen by a top wizard.
