Chapter 193 Overview of White Stone Territory, Choosing a Duty!
It's another quarterly performance review.
When Ian arrived, most of the others had also arrived.
"Senior Bren, Senior Taylor, Senior Bell..." Ian greeted the wizards naturally.
Bren and Bell nodded.
Taylor, however, gave him a faint smile.
Next up were Peter and the others, everything was normal, except for El who ignored Ian. Although Ian had also successfully advanced, she still didn't care.
During this time, Ian also learned some things.
El's talent is a level higher than Andre's, reaching the Crescent Moon level.
Ian immediately realized that this was a wizard who wanted Kieran's approval, or rather, a very ambitious wizard.
Meanwhile, Flynn and Sofia were resting with their eyes closed at the front.
Ian sat down in his seat.
soon.
Kieran arrived.
Everyone stood up and bowed to greet him, and only after he sat down did they all take their seats.
And today's lecture is also unusual.
Kieran began, "Today, let's talk about Whitestone Territory. Whitestone Territory is located on the Whitestone Mountains, an elemental mountain range. There are a total of five wizarding factions in this land."
"These are Whitestone Academy, Windhowl Keep, Deep Forest Courtyard, our Elemental Mystic Arts, and Crimson Eye. The first three are located in the north of Whitestone Territory, while we and Crimson Eye are located in the south. I think everyone should be familiar with them."
Ian nodded along with the other wizards.
He learned this knowledge after he entered the mysteries of the elements.
He was curious as to why Kieran was telling them all this.
"But I must tell you, a hundred years ago, there were ten wizarding academies in Whitestone Territory, double the number now."
Kieran said calmly.
Ian was taken aback.
Doesn't this mean that in just a hundred years, White Stone Territory has destroyed five academies that are similar to or slightly smaller than Elemental Profound Arts?
"For an academy to become powerful, annexation is essential, because as the academy develops, the number of high-level wizards will inevitably increase, and the resources required will also increase. Annexation is the only way."
Kieran added.
Ian nodded in agreement.
Wizards need certain unique and precious resources at almost every stage, and these resources are indispensable.
If something is lacking, slow progress is actually the best outcome; what's worse is a decline in mental strength and other negative effects.
"So, teacher, what do you mean?" Flynn looked at Kieran, a vague guess forming in his mind.
"The academy has made good progress in recent years and has gradually surpassed the Crimson Eye," Kieran said calmly.
The wizards below looked at each other in bewilderment.
Kieran clearly meant...
A war with the Crimson Eyes will inevitably occur sooner or later.
Thinking about this...
Everyone swallowed slightly.
Ian also gasped.
Although he didn't know much about the Crimson Eye, this was a wizarding academy that could be compared to the mysteries of the elements.
Once war breaks out.
What's going on?
"Teacher, how much time do we have left?" Sophia asked, pursing her lips.
Kieran shook his head.
"I don't know either. Maybe in five years, maybe in ten years, maybe in twenty years."
Everyone relaxed a little.
But I still feel a sense of urgency.
Then Kieran gave them his analysis.
A major war may take a long time to actually happen, but smaller wars and invasions may gradually unfold after about five years.
"Five years!"
Ian took a deep breath.
I felt an unprecedented sense of urgency.
After Kieran announced this bombshell news to them, he acted as if nothing had happened.
Instead, a new monthly performance review was quickly initiated.
Everyone immediately forgot their previous tension.
Soon, they went through the checks one by one, and this time there were no problems. Soon it was Andrei's and Ian's turn.
"Teacher, I've made it through the eleventh floor."
Andrei breathed a sigh of relief.
After two months of hard work, he finally passed the assessment. Although he only got second place, it was still a good result for him.
After all, he only has a Crescent Moon level talent.
In the academy, first-class positions are few in number and highly coveted, and are usually reserved for those with senior backgrounds or exceptional talents.
Then, Kieran tossed him a crystal containing information about his duties, letting him choose for himself.
"Teacher, I choose the Tranquil Forest," said the Potion Garden Inspector.
A few minutes later, Andrei looked up and said.
"Okay." Kieran nodded.
A tranquil forest?
Ian thought for a moment, realizing he was still quite unfamiliar with the place, and it was Peter who explained it to him that he understood.
"This is a first-tier potion plantation in the academy. It's full of magic, and you can often get a lot of magical plant residue, as well as two thousand contribution points every quarter," Peter said with envy.
Then Ian also learned it from him.
The difference in contribution points between the first and fourth grades in the academy is significant. The fourth grade is often below 500, the third grade is between 500 and 1,000, the second grade is between 1,000 and 2,000, and the first grade is between 2,000 and 3,000.
Andrei chose the Tranquil Forest, which is indeed the best among the second-class duties.
Kieran was not lying to them about this.
This also made Ian curious: if this is what second-class duties are like, then what makes first-class duties better than second-class duties?
At this moment, as Andrei's duties were announced, the wizards present smiled at him and seemed much closer to him.
After all, many wizards need some of the precious magical plants in the tranquil forest.
Just when everyone thought it was over.
Then Kieran looked at Ian and said, "Ian, you passed the eleventh level in three months. The academy has informed me that you can choose a first-class duty."
? ? ? ?
At that moment, all the wizards froze.
Even Flynn and Sophia, who were in front of them, were taken aback and turned to look at Ian, who was not far away.
It was approved in three months?
Is this a joke?
Keep in mind that the opponent on the eleventh floor is a fully-fledged first-level wizard. While there might be some randomness involved, a newly promoted wizard is almost certainly no match for them.
Some of them even passed only because of their powerful innate witchcraft.
Could it be that his magical talent is exceptionally outstanding?
Some people looked at Ian in a completely different way.
At this moment, Kieran stepped forward and tossed out a new crystal, saying, "First-class duties are very precious, so the quantity is very limited each time. These are three I have selected; you can choose one."
Ian nodded.
Mental energy probe crystal.
"Mission One: Stormspear Chapter - Captain!"
"Task Two: Academy Central Hub—'Element Pool Scheduling Sub-Inspector!'"
"Task 3: Lava Crystal Mine - Quality Control Supervisor!"
