As if they knew that the news could not be hidden, the teachers of the various departments announced the news in class that day.
The method of the final exam had changed from a literary examination to a martial examination.
The winner of the Four-Element Tournament would be decided!
The final victor would automatically become the Ernst Institute's First Seat!
This was only the reward of reputation. The other material rewards were even more generous.
Even the principal would take out a treasure from his collection.
Once the news was confirmed, the entire school was in an uproar!
Regardless of whether they were seniors or freshmen, they were still young people.
As for the boring theoretical knowledge and magic training, after the initial curiosity, the passion was not that great.
After all, no matter how interesting a spell was, it still needed to be cast many times to master the proficiency and release it quickly.
This was an extremely boring process of continuously gathering and consuming mana.
However, a collision between peers, a hot-blooded and exciting battle, this was what everyone longed to see.
"Mr. Jack, will the competition be with the other seniors, or will it be separated from each grade?”
Someone raised a question, which immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Jack Lance withdrew the magic power in his hand, and a newly formed spell disappeared.
" That's a good question," he said calmly." Most of the first-year students are magic apprentices. There are very few beginner mages." However, there were many intermediate mages among the senior students, and there were even advanced mages who had not graduated.”
"It's not appropriate to compete together.”
"That's why the principal said that the first grade will have a one-on-one competition, while the higher grades will have another competition format.”
Some people heaved a sigh of relief, while others muttered.
"Du Lin became a magus of the second rank in a month. He's almost at the third rank now. He's the most talented existence in the entire earth element. This kind of competition was prepared for him.”
When Jack Lance heard this, he raised his hand, and the noisy classroom quieted down.
"Although it's a Four Element Tournament, it's still mainly a test. Therefore, the final reward was not only for the winner. Some students with outstanding performance would also receive rewards.”
"So, don't give up. Even if you're still a 1st Rank Magic Apprentice, there's still a chance for you to get the reward!”
As soon as he said that, everyone became excited.
The best reward was based on the ranking, but the other rewards were based on performance.
Then everyone would have a chance!
......
In the following days, the entire Ernst Institute was filled with an extremely hot atmosphere.
Every student was extremely motivated to learn, and there were always the most students present in the various magic skills classes.
Meanwhile, the Refinement Hall was always filled with senior students.
Powerful low-level and mid-level spells were released from their hands. They collided and exploded.
The Spell Refinement Palace had a special fighting arena. The fighting arena was made of Anti-Magic Stones and supplemented by specialized magic arrays, which could prevent the power of spells from overflowing.
This was the most suitable place for battle without affecting others.
The only drawback was that the Refinement Palace required payment.
Some students from poor families could only watch at most and could not go on stage personally.
However, they also had a special way to hone their combat skills.
The Ernst Institute was located in the Els Mountains.
Although it occupied half of the mountain range, there was still a large part of the mountain range that was relatively primitive.
The high-level magical beasts inside had long been chased away and hunted by the powerhouses of the school.
However, there were still some low-level magical beasts left behind. Most of them were grade-3 or grade-4. There were also many grade-1 and grade-2 small magical beasts.
These little magical beasts became good targets for the students to practice their battles.
......
On a black tower in the school, Principal Carlyle looked at the lively magic academy with a smile.
Behind him, an old man in a dark red robe and a barefooted old man in gray were silently watching him.
Carlyle turned around and looked at the two of them. He couldn't help nodding.
Of these two, one was a Red-robed Cardinal of the Radiant Church stationed in the southern region of the Pouant Empire, while the other was an Ascetic Monk from the Religious Court of Inquiry.
Both of them were extremely powerful. Although they were slightly inferior to a Saint-level Magician like him, they were invincible in the outside world!
"Principal Carlyle, your school has a deep relationship with the Church. We will definitely remember your help this time!”
the Arch-Cardinal said.
Carlyle waved his hand." You can't say that. Reforming the assessment method is indeed helpful in nurturing students. From the looks of it, the enthusiasm of the students had been completely aroused. This was also a good thing.”
"Then I wish your school a few more geniuses this year.”
"Haha, thanks for your good words."
Seeing the two of them exchanging pleasantries, one complimenting the other, the Ascetic Monk in the corner opened his eyes.
"Through the competition, if we really find a super talent with a light elemental affinity of 90 or above, we will immediately bring him back to the Church!”
The atmosphere instantly cooled down.
Carlyle stopped smiling and said slowly,""You've all checked the documents for the entrance talent test. In the past ten years, the school had not recruited any students with light element affinity above 90. Are you sure that the so-called Son of God is in our school?”
The Arch-Cardinal was silent.
However, the Ascetic Monk seemed to be ignorant of the ways of the world and said to himself,"We've already checked the Gorse Magic Academy, Lionheart Academy, and Netherblue Magic Academy along the way. There's no trace of the Godchild. From the looks of it, the Ernst Institute was the most likely candidate!”
" It's said that two months ago, a pillar of light that reached the heavens appeared in your school at midnight," the Arch-Cardinal quietly echoed. That's very likely a God's Descent!"
The so-called God's Descent, other than the descent of a true god, there were also other terms such as the gaze of the divine eye and the projection of divine power.
In that situation, it was very likely that the divine son had appeared. The great God of Light's gaze had passed through the layers of plane barriers and noticed him.
Carlyle's expression was uncertain. He knew that he couldn't hide such a thing.
However, he hadn't expected the Radiant Church to come so quickly.
He hesitated for a moment and asked,"If you really find the Son of God, how will you treat him?"”
The Arch-Cardinal and the ascetic looked at each other, then smiled and said,""Of course, we should bring him back to the Church and nurture him well!”
"Vast amounts of resources, guidance from the Pope, divine artifacts, and divine spells. The Son of God will be the future of the Holy Church and the absolute representative of the great God of Light on the Roland Continent!”-- The Ascetic Monk suddenly said in a fanatical tone.
The two echoed each other, but Carlyle still didn't believe it.
Back then, the division between the academy and the Holy See was not only caused by the Pouant Empire.
There was an irreconcilable contradiction between the two.
......
Lorne stood on a tree branch and looked at the group of Level-1 and Level-2 mages below. They were attacking a Broken-Toothed Pig in a flurry. He was speechless.
"Does a magical beast of the second rank need to spend so much effort?”
"Roar!"
Finally, after everyone cast the Tier 1 Spells Mud and Rock Burst, the Grade 2 Split Toothed Boar was subdued while howling.
Vina wiped the sweat off her forehead and looked at the tree branch excitedly.
"Lorne, look, we succeeded!”
Lorne jumped down from the tree and stood firmly on the ground.
Before he could speak, someone beside him mocked.
"A good-for-nothing who only knows how to watch from the side and is so scared that he can't even cast magic.”
"Yeah, Vina, why do you care about him? It's not that he can't cast magic, but that he doesn't know magic at all, hahaha!”
"Hahaha!"
The sudden ridicule stunned the innocent and passionate Vera.
She could not understand why everyone, who was usually polite in class, would suddenly speak ill of Lorne, who was harmless to humans and animals.
"You guys!"
Vina subconsciously stood in front of Lorne and glared at everyone.
However, a broad and strong hand gently pulled her away.
Lorne's face was cold, as if he was in an ancient abyss.
"Killing a mere magical beast of the second rank is enough to make you so complacent?”
"A bunch of trash!"
