Before going there, Elvis swiftly turned down into a small alley. After coming out, he was wearing a black cloak on his body. The cloak’s hood covered most of his face, only a bit of the outline of his chin could be seen.
Elvis immediately went to the place where magical power was tested in the Telun City.
The location of the testing was in the southwest corner of the city. It was very quiet compared to other places, and it took a long time to see a person passing the front of the big door.
When Elvis stepped into the entrance, the crisp sound of bells started ringing, as an old voice echoed, “This customer, here is a place to test magic power, not a shop. If you have other needs, please turn around and leave.”
Elvis went straight to the front counter and said to the old man who was sitting inside, “I’m here to test my magic power.” The voice that he used was a few degrees lower than usual, and it sounded a few years older than his current age.
The old man who originally lowered his head as he read, immediately looked up, he used his fingers to fiddle with the glasses on his nose, his limp eyelids slightly narrowed as he looked at Elvis for a while, who had the hood covering most of his face, before saying, “You need to pay ten gold coins for the test.”
Elvis didn’t speak, he reached out and threw a small pouch directly on the counter.
The old man picked up the pouch, opened it and looked inside, nodding. “Come with me.” After that, the old man stood up and walked out from behind the counter and advanced towards the left corner.
Elvis followed closely behind the old man, and as he walked into a huge room, he saw a testing crystal stone with the height of a person, which was bigger than the piece that Roxis Clan had, inside the room.
After the old man led Elvis into the room, he pointed to the crystal stone that stood beside the stele and said, “When you enter magic power inside the crystal stone, the color of it will change, you can follow the explanation on the stele, if you want to know at what level you are at the moment.” After that, the old man unhurriedly took out a magic staff that was only the size of two palms wide from his bosom, he began muttering something in his mouth, soon afterwards a beam of white light shot towards the crystal stone, as a group of hazy white mist immediately appeared in it.
After all of the preparations were finished, the old man turned around and walked out of the room, before closing the door for Elvis.
Elvis knew that although the old man went out, he did not go far away, but waited outside the door. This was to prevent someone from taking the opportunity to steal a part of the crystal stone. After all, this was a huge fortune.
Elvis walked in front of the crystal stone, put his hand on it, and slowly entered magic power within his body inside. He looked at the color displayed on the crystal stone that gradually changed from the initial orange into cyan, and the color became more and more clear. Before settling down, this group of cyan colored light floated around inside the crystal stone, just like algae that swayed gently in water.
Cyan, this was the symbol of a Junior Magus.
Elvis’s azure colored eyes flashed, but his breath did not change even a bit, he just turned his head and looked at the stele beside the crystal stone, confirming it again.
He clearly saw the words engraved in the stele: cyan, Junior Magus.
Junior Magus?
Elvis slightly raised the corner of his mouth. He did not expect that he who was a waste that lost all of his magic power two years ago, but after two years, he already had the ability of a Junior Magus. This contrast was really ironic.
However it was too late. If he could show such talent two years ago, his grandmother would not have died, but also from here, he could fully see the indifference and ruthlessness of his clan.
Elvis looked down at his palms that had been covered with calluses, and slowly clenched them tightly.
For him now, the most important thing was his Ludwig. In order to protect him, he had to be stronger, so this level was not enough. He would not easily be self-satisfied with his current achievements. There were still too many people in the world who were stronger than him. He would not relax his vigilance until he had climbed to the peak of the world. No, even if he was already at the peak, he couldn’t slack off. He didn’t want to once again feel that kind of shattered pain like when he fell from the altar.
Elvis waited until the crystal stone returned to its original clear color, and after a while, he turned around and walked out of the room. When the old man who was not far away saw him out, he did not ask anything, and just took Elvis back to the entrance, he continued to walk slowly to the counter, before once again reading his thick magic book.
Elvis walked out of the testing site and after confirming that no one followed him, he turned into a small alley, and took off his cloak, revealing his original appearance.
Since the time was close to noon, Elvis casually found a restaurant to sit down and eat.
Li Luo, who had been locked within the bag for a long time, finally was released, he shook his tail and walked around the square table, and finally squatted beside Elvis, raising his head and continuously looked at the place around him.
The surrounding people never saw anyone who directly put their pet on the table to eat together. So many people couldn’t help but sneak a glance at the table where Elvis was sitting, while they were talking.
Elvis did not care even a bit about how the surrounding people looked at him, he just slightly lowered his head, before reaching out his hand and gently stroked the back of small cat with soft fur.
After the dishes were served on the table, everyone saw him directly take a plate, and pick some dishes onto the plate, then personally fed it bit by bit to that snowball-like pet in front of him.
Everyone that looked at this scene opened their eyes wide as though their eyeballs would come out. They never saw a person serve their pet like this before, really made their chin almost drop down in disbelief. However nothing was too bizarre, as there were all kinds of people in this world. After watching for a while, those people turned their eyes and talked about other topics.
Li Luo’s stomach in cat form was relatively small and he soon felt full. He turned his head to the side when Elvis wanted to feed him the food with chopsticks again, Li Luo raised his head and calling out loudly at Elvis, then lifted his paws and pushed the chopsticks away.
“Are you full?” Elvis narrowed his eyes and asked. He reached out his hand and scratched the chin of the little round cat that was squatting on the table. After hearing the questioning voice from the person who scratched him, the little cat suddenly opened his eyes, and then narrowed his big eyes into a slit, seemingly dissatisfied. He stretched his paws and hit the hand that touched his chin. Elvis could not help but hook the corner of his mouth, he picked up the chopsticks with the food in it, the chopsticks that he previously using to feed the cat, and unhesitatingly put them into his mouth to eat.
“Have you heard? This time, St. Helier Magic Academy is going to hold an examination in our Telun City to choose disciples.”
“Really, you’re not lying?!” A male asked hastily, as he gasped in amazement.
“Of course it’s true. Do you not see a lot of people coming into our city in these past few days? Moreover, people in magic robes can be seen more often walking around the streets.”
“……This is, hahaha, but unfortunately I’m already more than 30 years old now, and only at the level of Apprentice Magus, or else I would also be able to join in.”
St. Helier Magic Academy? Elvis paused the movements of his hand. Of course, he also knew this academy which was the most famous Magic Academy in the entire Wate Empire, and even in the entire continent. The academy recruited disciples every three years, and every time they opened the exam, it would attract the attention of the whole empire and surrounding countries. Countless mages come from all over the world, just wanting to have the opportunity to enter St. Helier Magic Academy. Due to this, the enrollment conditions of St. Helier Magic Academy were very high. The first condition was one needed to be at least the level of Apprentice Magus. The mages who were unable to reach this level would be brushed down, and the age is also required to be under 18 years old.
Elvis continued eating while listening to the conversations of the people around him. His face still had an indifferent look, and there was no change at all, but he had been thinking a lot his heart. Now that he had awakened the Saint Magus’ bloodline in his body, moreover was he able to cultivate both magic and body strength at the same time. However on this continent, everyone could only practice one, either as a mage or as a warrior. The status of a mage is much higher than that of a warrior, but when a warrior breaks through into a high rank warrior, his position would be equal to the mage, and he would be highly respected by the world.
This ability could only be his secret and couldn’t be known by others. So he needed one of those identities to cover up the other identity. The first impression in a person was very important, because after the first time people thought about what kind of person you are, it was very difficult to change people’s impressions of you. Moreover, compared to a warrior, Elvis was more inclined to the mage, not only this was the thing that accompanied him for more than ten years, he was also more familiar with it.
On top of that, even though the previous senior that awakened the Saint Magus’ bloodline was more proficient in the magic field, he only gave him a relatively more advanced magic scroll, and for the rest of other low-level magic scrolls, there is nothing at all, but contrary to what one might expect, the martial arts scroll was more comprehensive and didn’t not require him to look elsewhere.
Now that he heard this news, Elvis thought for a moment and decided to enter St. Helier Magic Academy, in order to learn more comprehensive magic knowledge.
