Weird Wizarding World

   Chapter 22 The Guard

   "...Teacher, that's what happened."

  Colin resisted the dizziness and told the gray-robed teacher next to him about the future.

   Charlie on the side seemed to have given up struggling and sat on the spot with a gloomy face.

   The teacher in gray robe nodded expressionlessly, and with a left hand, he summoned the arrow that shot Colin from a distance into his hand.

   Then he summoned the arrow that penetrated Charlie's knee and the crossbow machine hidden on his body, and carefully checked and checked them together.

   After a while, I had a judgment in my heart.

  He raised his head and asked Colin, "You have already advanced to the second-class apprentice?"

   "Yes." Colin responded quickly.

"very good."

   Although the teacher was still expressionless, his tone seemed to be milder.

   He waved his right hand, and a white light flashed over Colin.

  Colin suddenly felt the dizziness in his brain disappear.

   "Thank you, Faculty."

   The teacher nodded nonchalantly, then glanced at Charlie coldly.

Although the   Lapp School's punishment for brawls between apprentices is relatively low.

   But this is limited to equals. Now Colin is an intermediate apprentice. For this kind of offense, the school's punishment has always been severe.

  Charlie obviously understands this, but what he is worried about now is not being punished, but his plan to be discovered.

   "You go to the entrance of the main building of Heibao and wait for me, I have to deal with this side first."

   The teacher in gray robe continued to talk to Colin, paused, and then added.

   "I am the first-class apprentice on duty today. I will register you for promotion when I come back."

   "Okay." Colin replied respectfully.

   He not only told the wizard in gray robe about the process of Charlie's attack on him, but also told the story behind it.

   Obviously, the situation of the mutual aid society and what Charlie said about the elimination of members of the enslavement school in the gathering place has attracted the attention of the wizard in gray.

   Judging from the reaction he heard just now, he should have never heard of such a situation.

   This also made Colin more and more suspicious of Charlie's rhetoric.

   Not long after walking, he came to Black Fort.

  Black Castle is the huge castle in the center of the entire wizarding area. It consists of the main castle in the middle and the secondary castles connected on both sides. The whole is in an inverted U shape, and the walls are all black stone.

  The open space in front of the castle is a well-tended lawn. Through the flat stone road in the middle, Colin came to the door of the main building in the middle.

  Besides him, there was a brown-haired boy standing in front of the door. He was about ten years old, and he should be one of the apprentices who were late to them.

  The boy looked indifferent, glanced at the black badge on Colin's chest, and did not choose to greet him.

  Colin will naturally not go to hot face and cold butt.

   Not long after waiting at the entrance of the Black Castle, the wizard in gray robes descended from the sky and walked towards them.

  Colin looked at the flying figure of the wizard in gray robe, and couldn't help but yearn.

  If you guessed correctly, the gray robe wizard should be majoring in force field magic.

   "Hello, teacher."

   Colin and the brown-haired boy greeted in unison.

   "Come with me." The gray-robed teacher nodded.

  The two followed the grey-robed teacher to the top floor of the main fort, outside a heavily guarded room.

   "Give me the badge."

  The two of Colin respectfully handed over their badges.

   The teacher in gray robe signaled them to wait outside, and then walked into the room with two black identity badges.

   should be to communicate with the great formation led by the wizards and upgrade their status badges for them.

Each badge of the    school is made by the wizard Rapp himself, and is bound one-to-one with each member, which is the only certificate to enter the wizard's field.

   Even ordinary people who are responsible for delivering daily necessities each month have special status badges.

  This huge and precise witch formation is the foundation for the Lapp School to take root on the island, and it is also the top priority.

   After half an hour, the wizard in gray robe came out with two silver identity badges.

   Next, he led them to a quiet room on the first floor.

   The wizard in gray robe pushed the door and entered.

   There are also two other wizards sitting inside. Judging from the badges on their chests, they should also be first-class apprentices.

   The gray-robed wizard motioned for Colin and the two to wait on the chairs by the door, and walked towards the other two wizards.

   "Milne, another third-class apprentice has advanced?" The wizard sitting on the left asked with a smile.

  Milne nodded and said, "Well, one five-year-old, thirteen-year-old, has a second-class qualification; a ten-year-old, seventeen-year-old, fourth-class qualification."

   The room was spacious, and the conversation between the two was not loud, as if it was deliberately lowered.

  The brown-haired boy sat quietly on the wooden chair, his face expressionless, obviously not listening.

  As a great knight, Colin could hear clearly with his keen hearing.

   "Let's follow the old rules... As usual, ten years will be assigned to the guards, and he will be taken to collect witchcraft later. As for five years..."

   "It's our turn for five years!" The wizard sitting on the right interrupted, "The apprentices who were promoted last time and last time have joined you, and this time it's our turn."

   "...This is not necessarily the case. The previous apprentice with first-class qualifications and only ten years old was assigned to you! I don't need to say more about the gap between first-class and second-class..."

   The three wizards began to argue.

   Colin glanced at the boy sitting quietly beside him, silent in his heart.

   He had anticipated such a situation.

   The qualifications of wizards are divided into five levels.

   The fifth grade is the lowest, and the first grade is the highest.

   The aptitude here simply refers to the affinity for magic.

   has an influence on the growth of wizards, but it is not absolute.

   In theory, even with the fifth-level qualifications, you can become an official wizard.

   The ten years and five years mentioned by the gray robe wizards should represent the years they have learned wizard knowledge.

   This is considered to be the embodiment of another part of the wizard's qualifications.

   And he, no matter what, is obviously not a good aptitude.

   After a while, the three wizards finally reached an agreement.

   The wizard in gray robe and the wizard sitting on the left came towards Colin.

   "Come with me, I'll take you to the post-advanced sorcery." The gray-robed wizard gestured to Colin.

   And the brown-haired boy was taken away by another wizard.

  Colin followed behind the gray robe wizard with a calm expression.

  The two walked towards the depths of the castle.

   On the way, the wizard in gray lifted his hood, came to Colin, and said to him:

   "Different from being a junior apprentice, after advancing to an intermediate apprentice, you need to be responsible for different jobs... The place where you are assigned is the guard team."

   Colin calmly glanced at the shiny bald head of the gray-robed wizard, and nodded silently.

   Such a result, he already knew.

   "...Teacher, the guards... what exactly do they do?" After a long silence, he asked.

   "The guard team is responsible for protecting the safety of the city together with the wizards in Black Rock City at the foot of the mountain. The beasts running out of the dark forest, the security of the city, etc., are all under the guard team's control."

   The wizard in gray robe replied, he paused and then added:

   "The main work in the Lapp school is divided into three parts, logistics, mining, and guarding."

   "The work of the guards is mainly carried out by the guards stationed in the city and the patrols in the wizard's territory."

   "Standing?" Colin asked involuntarily.

   "Yes, stationed, the guards usually stay in Blackrock City."

   Colin couldn't help but sank when he heard the words.
