The Ernst Institute was located on the west side of Backlund, near the Ayers Mountains.
The entire school occupied a large area, almost covering half of the Els Mountain Range.
The Rhine River from the Odin Empire had a tributary that passed through here.
However, as the two opposing superpowers on the Roland Continent, even if it was a tributary of a river, it would change its name when it reached its territory.
Cyril River!
The carriage moved slowly across the River Serel, leaving the hustle and bustle of the Imperial Capital behind.
Lorne opened the curtain and realized that there were many young men and women walking forward.
They were heading in the same direction.
"Second young master, today is the entrance day of the Ernst Institute. Those who passed the December aptitude test will all be admitted today in February.”
The person who spoke was another old man sitting in the carriage.
Ariel, the butler of the Palace of the Earl.
If Schneider, as an advisor, helped Count Lehmann with all the external affairs, then Grandpa Ariel was Count Lehmann's right-hand man.
He was in charge of all the family matters in the Palace of the Earl.
It could even be said that he was involved in some business matters.
Lorne had suddenly enrolled at the Ernst Institute, and Count Lehmann had also handed the matter over to the old man, Ariel, to handle.
When the carriage arrived in front of a stone tablet, the coachman stopped.
Opening the curtain, Ariadal pointed at the huge buildings hidden under the mountains in the distance. He smiled kindly and said,
"This is the boundary stele that forbids carriages from entering. The Ernst Institute had been established by the first legendary Pope of the Radiant Church, Ernst. It was specially used to teach powerful magi.”
"To be able to study here, the minimum requirement is that your talent in magic is above average. It could even be said that sometimes, they only accepted geniuses with high talent!”
"To graduate from the Ernst Institute, the minimum requirement is to become a magus of the sixth rank.”
"It is precisely because of this that many important figures have emerged from this place. In order to avoid offending the academy, this boundary stone was set up to prevent some aristocratic children from acting arrogantly and harming others.”
Lorne was deep in thought as he listened to the butler's introduction.
"You can only graduate after becoming a grade-6 mage. What if you can't?" Are you going to stay in the academy until you die?"
" Of course not." Ariel smiled and shook her head." If that happens, the teachers will usually recommend dropping out early. Also, you can't use any name related to the academy.”
In other words, even if you leave, the academy will not acknowledge you as a disciple.
And the Ernst Institute represented more than just strength.
There were too many powerhouses here. Being able to share the name of the same school with them was a kind of network resource!
Alumni!
"Get out of the car. I'll take you to the admission procedures and bring you to meet the vice-principal.”
Lorne followed her advice and got out of the car with Ariadal.
The two of them walked side by side on the white marble-paved road, surrounded by excited and smiling young people.
Most of them were around thirteen or fourteen years old.
This age was also the most suitable time to cultivate magic and battle aura.
In comparison, Lorne was 15 and a half years old, almost 16 years old. He was already quite old.
Sensing Lorne's gaze, Ariel whispered,"Young Master, the Earl spent a lot of effort to arrange for you to enter the school this time. You must study hard.”
Lorne knew what to do.
After all, with the aptitude he had shown before, he was not qualified to enter this academy at all.
And with the standards of the Ernst Institute, not to mention counts, even if a marquis, duke, or even a prince came, it was very likely that they wouldn't make an exception to accept them.
Lorne knew very well that other than the Earl's connections, his elder brother had also spent a lot of effort to get in.
Vergil asked his teacher, Colin, to write a letter.
Not only that, Vergil himself had a place in the academy, which was equivalent to giving this place to Lorne.
Moreover, even if he did this, Lorne still had to bear all the tuition and miscellaneous fees, or even double the amount of others!
Lorne actually did not care about these things. His goal was to be able to enter and leave this school freely.
As the two of them advanced, a tall white courtyard wall that spanned thousands of meters appeared in their line of sight.
At the very top, there was a plaque made of crystal jade with the words 'Ernst Institute' written on it.
A faint halo lingered around the area, which was a sign that the magic array was operating.
It was rumored that even if a grade-9 magical beast attacked, it would not be able to affect the academy's magic array in the slightest.
Its defensive strength could be said to be powerful!
Since they did not have an admission card, Ariel made a simple registration at the guard before the two of them entered the school.
As soon as he entered the school gate, Lorne's gaze fell on the stone tablet in the center.
"God said, let there be light!"
These were the words on the stone tablet. They were simple and natural, but they seemed to contain powerful magic.
The ordinary students didn't notice anything strange.
However, for Lorne, who had the mental strength of a 9th-tier mage, he instantly sensed the power of this stone tablet.
It was a power that was far above grade-9. It was as if because of this sentence, there was light in this world!
" It's said that this was personally written by the first Pope of the Holy Church, Entus, using his supreme magic power. Not only that, every student who graduated from the academy would write their name on a stone wall in the front yard with magic power. If you have the chance, you can go and take a look."
Lorne's eyes lit up. He had to go and take a look!
......
"You're Vergil's younger brother?”
An old woman frowned and sized up Lorne with a very picky gaze.
Lorne was neither servile nor overbearing. The butler beside him was more respectful.
"Principal Lovia, young master Lorne and young master Vergil are very close."
Lovia waved her hand and threw a token made of crystals onto the table.
"This is your student token. With it, you can freely enter and leave the school. Other than some forbidden areas and going out of school, there were no restrictions.”
"Your dormitory is Vergil's small building.”
The origins of the students in the academy were very complicated. Apart from the Pouant Empire itself, many of them were also recruited from the other kingdoms of the Holy Union.
Therefore, most of the time, there were four or two people living together.
There was only one way to have a small building that belonged to him!
That was to have the strength of a magus of the fifth rank or above!
Grade-6 mages could apply for graduation, and grade-5 was a critical juncture.
In order to make it easier for the students to focus on their cultivation, every time someone broke through to Level Five, the academy would allocate a small building to them so that they would not be disturbed by the outside world.
Vergil was a genius.
He had only been in school for a few years, and before he left, he had already advanced to a magus of the fifth rank.
It was obvious that the vice-principal did not like Lorne. After giving him the nameplate, he no longer paid attention to him and Ariel.
Lorne did not want to be snubbed. He took the nameplate and left the office.
Before he left, with his powerful spiritual power, he heard the old woman talking to herself.
"Vergil, we've had countless powerhouses in our academy. There's also someone like Magister Kerlin.”
Although he was blaming her, his tone was filled with regret and unwillingness.
Lorne smiled. How would she know?
The difference between having an expert teach alone and having an academy share the benefits was huge.
No wonder this old woman's strength was still hovering around level-seven at her age.
But speaking of which, a magus of the seventh rank could become the vice-principal of the Ernst Institute?
