That youth had a lifeless look on his face, leaning against the podium behind him for a long time before he could say his next sentence.
"My name is Luo Kai, second level apprentice. Manuals you guys come up and get them yourselves, watch for ten minutes first."
The voice also became breathless.
But soon there were enthusiastic boys and girls who came up to help distribute the manuals.
Luo Kai, on the other hand, recited an unintelligible incantation and made two hand gestures after his hands were free.
With a swish, the dirt on the ground was gone.
The new apprentices, who had already seen the process of Sid killing the fat boy, didn't show too much trepidation towards Rokai's spell.
This made Rokai, who originally wanted to show off, look even more shriveled.
The two boys sitting to Kori's left also stood up to get their forms and brought back Kori's and Saul's copy by hand.
Korrie took it naturally, while Sol said thank you.
"You're welcome." The wide-eyed boy was a bit surprised, "I'm Dozer and he's Rocky, we're in rooms 613 and 614, so we can all study and discuss together from now on."
If it was in a normal school, now would be a good opportunity to make friends.
But Saul didn't feel that as sorcerer apprentices, they could learn together. After all, the element they majored in and the mentor they followed were likely to be different.
He looked down at the form in his hand.
There were a total of just five mentors on it, and that was all there was in the Golza Wizard Tower. Each tutor's name was followed by a brief introduction, labeled with the type of element they majored in and what they specialized in.
These tutors usually had one or two major elements and specialized in even more areas.
The first thing Saul saw was the name of Mentor Guido, and the mentor right next to Guido was named, Kaz.
Kaz, major element: dark element, area of specialization: necromancy, ghost research, corpse preservation, limb grafting.
What he specializes in is all in the netherworld.
Saul remembered Kong Sha's horrible face again. Honestly, he drew a check mark under Mentor Kazi's name.
After that, he flipped out the manual and read it briefly, and there were quite a few more detailed rules in it than what Guido had told him.
There weren't even this many rules when he was a servant before.
But it could be that servants had limited exposure and didn't need to know that much.
At that moment, he caught a glimpse of Korie's brow furrowed on the side, her mouth chewing on the shell of her blotting pen.
It seemed like it hadn't moved for a long time.
"What's wrong?"
Had Korie found some hidden message?
Korrie took down the case of her pen and turned her head to Saul gravely, "The element I perceive the strongest is fire, but none of the instructors majored in that element."
Before Sol could say anything, she looked down at the table again.
"Can I only choose to major in the gold element? Damn, so upset."
Kagome's tightly furrowed brow had loosened as she said this, and it was unclear how much of her resignation was true.
This Witch Tower was not a proper school, and there were only five instructors in total, so it was normal that they could not cover all the major elements.
Just like Saul's dark element, there was only one mentor, Kaz, who could.
Thinking of this, Saul's face was solemn.
Wait, how did Kongsa determine that the strongest part of my perception is the Dark Element?
Is this all a coincidence, or is it a man-made arrangement?
Saul looked at Kaz's name and furrowed his brows a little.
Rokai on the stage finally recovered from the blow, he straightened his back and asked everyone in a peaceful manner.
"Any questions, you can ask me now."
Someone quickly raised their hand.
Some asked about things in the rulebook, others had the same problem as Kori.
As Saul had thought, without a corresponding mentor, the apprentice would have to pick the elemental major with which he or she had the second highest affinity.
Even worse, one might have to pick the third or fourth.
Rokai patiently lectured everyone for half an hour, he was very detailed and even nagged a bit, but every question was explained clearly.
Even if there were questions that couldn't be answered, he would explain what everyone needed to pay attention to.
Even Saul was mesmerized, temporarily forgetting about Kong Sha's hidden problems.
Suddenly, Saul felt his arm being poked, and he looked sideways to find that Korrie had just withdrawn her finger, signaling Saul with her eyes to look to the right front. Saul looked up and realized that the boy who stood in front of him and glared back at him when he participated in the apprentice test earlier was still staring at himself with resentful eyes.
After the other party realized that Saul had looked up, he gave him a deep look and turned his head away.
"Who is he?" Saul asked in a low voice as he leaned to his left.
Kori was still sitting up straight.
"Duke, his best friend died on the way here. The third level wizard apprentice who led the way saw him die."
"What does that have to do with me?"
"At the time, that third level wizard apprentice said 'there were too many people'."
Because there were too many people, the Sorcerer Apprentice let the people taking the test die halfway.
As a result, it was discovered during the test that there were inexplicably a few more people.
Sol turned his head in silence and said after a moment, "It has nothing to do with me."
"Ha!"
Kori gave a short laugh, not sure who she was laughing at.
The two continued to listen to Rokai on stage, no one bothering to mention Duke again.
"... Anyway, you guys just need to spread most of your energy over the basics and you won't have to worry about failing the test at all."
Rokai closed his hands and made a final summary.
"Alright, my mouth is dry, this explanation ends here, has everyone's form been filled out?"
He coughed lightly.
"Before I collect the forms, I'd like to introduce my mentor one last time, Anze. Yes, the first mentor in your forms. His introduction is that he majors in earth elemental spells and can also teach wood systems. But actually, my teacher has studied the water and poison systems."
Luo Kai had a smile on his face, "You don't have to worry about not majoring in it, after all, the mentors are all full-fledged sorcerer lords, and there's no need to differentiate between majoring in the elements at all when teaching you. Even if you're a dark system apprentice, choosing Mentor Anze is absolutely fine. Not to mention that there is also a group of us seniors to assist in guiding."
"All in all, you are all very welcome to join Tutor Anze's big team!"
Luo Kai nourished his teeth and squeezed his eyebrows, very relatable.
"Swish, swish, swish."
Sol noticed that several people were immediately revising their enrollment forms.
Even Dozer and Rocky, who were sitting on the other side of Kori, were modifying them.
Dozer even suggested to Sol and Korie as well, "Let's choose Instructor Anze together, huh? You guys see how enthusiastic Senior Rokai is, he must be willing to tutor us in our studies so that we can progress faster."
"No!" Keri rejected him without even thinking about it.
Sol shook his head as well.
These apprentices had been brought in from the outside world and might still have illusions about the people in the wizard's tower.
In Saul's impression, these sorcerer apprentices and wizards were always in a hurry, and they wouldn't stop for insignificant things.
If they stop in front of you one day, don't rejoice, it's because they might want to use you.
As for how to use it?
Saul's left hand, which had turned into white bone, was a constant reminder that those without strength and without value had only flesh to sell.
The kind that dies nine deaths, or ten.
Rokai finally finished settling in with his mentor and told everyone to send their forms up.
Dozer tries to help Kori and Saul turn in their forms again.
But this time, both chose to send them up themselves.
Saul glanced at Korrie's form in the afterglow and was surprised to find that Korrie had chosen Mentor Guido, who had just arrived early and left early.
After all, with Tutor Guido's "vomit", it really took a lot of courage to choose him.
After handing in the forms, Rokai told everyone that they could go back to their dormitories first, and a servant would deliver all the supplies.
Everyone was excited to say goodbye to the senior and headed back.
The large classroom on the tenth floor quickly became empty and quiet.
Luo Kai organized the forms in his hands and placed them on the podium pier neatly.
"Hee hee hee ..."
He suddenly let out a laugh.
