Free Web NovelChapter 8: Chapter 8: Plans Can’t Keep Up with Changes, Snatching People
Everyone disembarked from the Flying Vessel. What greeted them was the sight of tent after tent. Among them, several Wizards in black robes were waiting for them.
"You may go to the front of these tents and look at the recruitment standards for new bloods at these Wizard Academies."
"If you meet the standards, you can introduce yourselves to the Wizards and await acceptance."
While the new Wizard recruits were curiously looking at the tents, Huo Lin and the other Wizard Apprentices began to explain how to enter a Wizard Academy.
After the explanation, Huo Lin and the others stepped aside, allowing Andre and the other new recruits to move about freely and choose the academy they preferred.
"Forest Wizard Academy, recruiting Talents for the Energy and Life Schools."
"Bone Wizard Academy, recruiting for the Energy, Life, and Mind Schools."
In front of each tent was a blackboard, on which the recruitment standards for new bloods were written.
"Hey, don’t push!" "Move over!" "Get out of the way." freewebnovёl.ƈom
Such cries rose and fell as the new Wizard recruits ran from tent to tent, reading the recruitment conditions for each Wizard Academy.
"Azure Sky Wizard Academy, recruiting for the Mind and Energy Schools!"
"Cangsen Wizard Academy, recruiting for the Energy and Life Schools."
Andre drifted along with the crowd, reading the words on the blackboards in front of the tents to decide which academy he should join.
But after looking around, Andre only managed to confuse himself.
This was because during the second trial, the test hadn’t determined which school he was suited for; instead, he had directly awakened the Talent Witchcraft, Eye of Truth.
As a result, Andre didn’t know which school he was suited for, or which academy he should try to enter.
And so, Andre could only keep wandering around, trying to pick an academy to join.
Gradually, as the other new Wizard recruits chose their academies one by one, only Andre was left still deciding.
"Oh, interesting. Hasn’t he decided yet?"
"Just trying to be mysterious, creating a scene. Ridiculous for someone so young to resort to such tricks!"
The Wizards in the tents watched Andre, who was still wandering and choosing, with varied expressions and reactions.
Some Wizards thought Andre was just indecisive, while others sneered at his behavior, believing he was deliberately grandstanding for attention.
Meanwhile, Huo Lin, who stood to the side, and Victoria, who had already been accepted into the Azure Sky Wizard Academy, kept making small gestures, hoping he would come to their side.
"Young man, haven’t you been tested?"
After wandering for a while longer, an old man walked out of one of the tents, looking at Andre with a smile.
"I’m very sorry, Sir Wizard. I don’t know which school I’m suited for."
Andre looked at the Wizard and hurriedly apologized, explaining his situation.
"Oh? But you should have gone through the second trial, shouldn’t you?"
The old man’s interest was piqued. It was rare for someone to go through both trials and still not know which school suited them.
"Well, when I was tested, it didn’t determine a school for me. Instead, I awakened a Talent Witchcraft."
When Andre said he had awakened a Talent Witchcraft during the second trial, the old man’s body visibly trembled.
"Talent Witchcraft... good, very good! What Witchcraft did you awaken?"
The old man stroked his beard, a wide smile on his face as he spoke. In the other tents, the Wizards also rose to their feet, all looking at Andre.
’No wonder Andre was hovering in front of their tents for so long.’
’If they had awakened a Talent Witchcraft without anyone telling them which school they were suited for, they too would be hesitant about which academy to join.’
"The Eye of Truth!" "The Eye of Truth, a Level 2 Witchcraft!"
The moment Andre named his Talent Witchcraft, the tents instantly exploded, shredded by the auras that erupted from the Wizards.
"Kid, say that again. What Witchcraft did you awaken?"
A burly man threw back his hood, his eyes wide as he stared at Andre, his breathing growing heavy.
’A Level 2 Talent Witchcraft... and a special one like the Eye of Truth, no less.’
’In normal times, a Level 2 Witchcraft would be nothing special.’
’But with the new expedition launching in ten years, a special Witchcraft like the Eye of Truth will determine a Wizard Academy’s Speed.’
’Andre... the Azure Sky Wizard Academy will have him!’
Andre took a step back and repeated to the burly man, "A Level 2 Witchcraft, the Eye of Truth."
"Haha! Come, come! The Azure Sky Wizard Academy is the most suitable for you!"
After hearing from Andre’s own mouth once more that his awakened Witchcraft was the Eye of Truth, the burly man laughed heartily and reached for him.
The burly man’s palm suddenly grew larger as it shot toward Andre.
But just as the man’s hand was about to touch Andre, a Light Bomb knocked it back.
"The Azure Sky Wizard Academy is the most suitable for him? I don’t think so. Logically speaking, our White Sea Wizard Academy is the best fit!"
A beautiful middle-aged woman, holding a Witch’s Staff, threw back her hood and glared at the burly man, her anger flaring.
’A prospect like this should join our White Sea Wizard Academy. After all, the White Sea Wizard Academy rules the entire White Sea Wizard World Group!’
’We even established the White Sea Wizard Calendar that the entire White Sea Wizard World Group uses. The nerve of him, trying to steal a recruit from us!’ frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
"Now, that’s not quite right. A Witchcraft like the Eye of Truth is best suited for studying things that make a Wizard, like Magic Potions and Witchcraft Artifacts. Therefore, our Moutian Wizard Academy is the best fit for him."
At that moment, another man chuckled as he took off his hood, looking at the representative from the White Sea Wizard Academy.
"Get lost! The most powerful Wizards in your academies are only Level 3 Wizards. Our White Sea Wizard Academy, on the other hand, is presided over by a Level 4 Morning Star Great Wizard."
"What’s more, our Dean is a Level 5 Grand Wizard! What does your Moutian Wizard Academy have to compete with us?!"
Seeing the man from Moutian Wizard Academy step out to fight her for Andre, the beautiful woman snorted coldly and laid her academy’s cards on the table.
Moutian Wizard Academy excelled in Magic Potions and Witchcraft Artifacts and had many forms of Witchcraft from the Pupil Technique Element. If Andre went there, he would certainly be well-nurtured.
But "well-nurtured" was not "best-nurtured." Moutian Wizard Academy’s most powerful figure was only a Level 3 Wizard, not even a Level 4 Great Wizard. On what grounds could they compete with the White Sea Wizard Academy for Andre?
A prospect like Andre was a guaranteed future Level 2 Wizard. Only under the tutelage of the White Sea Wizard Academy could he reach his full potential.
Barring any accidents, he even had a twenty percent chance of breaking through to become a Level 3 Wizard. How could they possibly let such a talent slip away?
