Leave the castle.
Ian's direction became much firmer at once.
That is to break through the mid-stage of the first ring.
However, this is no simple matter. Putting aside the subsequent meditation methods and witchcraft, his progress in mental strength is far from sufficient.
"Fortunately, it's a large amount of resources."
Ian took a deep breath.
As his talent improved, his contribution points were starting to run out, and this scholarship was indeed a timely solution.
"And with war about to begin, this is also an opportunity; perhaps we can make a fortune."
Ian narrowed his eyes slightly.
Before and after a war, there are huge differences in the price of resources, etc. I experienced this once during the period of the School of Thought.
This is also an opportunity that could greatly increase his net worth. He was thinking about what would happen if he joined forces with the Pierce Chamber of Commerce.
"That's too much!"
Ian shook his head.
He can manage on his own, at most he can team up with Horton, but if he brings in the Pierce Chamber of Commerce, that would be a big deal.
The risk is too high.
"Everything takes time; let's focus on improving our talents first!"
Ian shook his head.
Breaking through to the mid-stage of the first ring within two years is no easy feat, especially for a Crescent Moon-level talent.
If we can break through to the Crescent Moon level, the chances of success will be much greater.
Moreover, he's not far from reaching the Crescent Moon level, so he can focus on breaking through first.
Thinking about this...
He returned home and began to enhance his fire runes, but unfortunately, being away from the natural environment, his progress slowed down significantly.
Fortunately, it only lasts a few days.
He will return immediately after this quarterly performance review meeting.
In the blink of an eye.
A day has passed.
Another quarterly performance review meeting.
Ian walked toward Castle Number Three.
Ian had walked this familiar road many times, and many new faces had appeared among the first-ring wizards along the way.
He met Gwen at a bend in the mountain road.
I saw Ian.
Gwen was taken aback.
He nodded to Ian and said, "Senior Ian."
The two walked up the mountain together, but unlike before, Gwen was now more polite in her interactions.
The eager, curious, or ingratiating smiles that they had shown during their first two meetings were completely gone.
All that remains is a sense of ordinariness.
Ian's expression remained unchanged, but he understood perfectly.
For the past year or so, he has spent almost all his time studying Fire Emblem runes, and he doesn't show them at the quarterly review meetings.
In addition, Gwen gradually learned about Ian's situation.
Compared to the more talented senior students, a wizard with only a decent talent for magic naturally appears quite ordinary.
She naturally wouldn't ask for the resources back; she wasn't that stupid, but she had become much more indifferent.
I focused my energy on making friends with more worthwhile senior students.
Very shrewd!
Ian naturally didn't care and didn't take it seriously.
soon.
We arrived at Castle Number Three.
By this time, most of the wizards had arrived.
Flynn and Sofia were talking in hushed tones, while the three people on the second ring closed their eyes to rest.
In the third ring, Andre exuded the scent of plants, while El still occupied a prominent position, his elemental fluctuations more refined than when they last met.
Peter, on the other hand, is pretty much the same as before.
Ian walked to his usual corner, only to find a strange young male wizard sitting next to him.
The wizard before them was named Xavier, and he was the first among this new batch of wizards to advance to the first level.
Ian nodded to him.
Xavier glanced at it, but didn't pay any attention, his expression indifferent.
Ian shook his head and sat down in his seat.
During this process, not many wizards paid attention, and even the wizard apprentices behind them didn't care.
The main reason is that Ian's year was just too "ordinary".
El glanced at Ian from a distance, but then completely ignored him.
At this point, she had reached the limit of the initial stage of the first ring, and Ian was no longer even worth her attention.
Not to mention scholarships.
A group of wizards waited.
Soon, Kieran arrived.
Today's topic is about learning and delving deeper into earth elemental magic, and Ian is taking notes.
Two hours passed.
The lecture has ended.
The quarterly performance reviews have begun.
The first five remained unaffected, and soon it was the wizards of the third circle's turn.
"Not bad, your mental strength has reached its limit. You can consider breaking through to the mid-stage of the first ring." Kieran said to El.
El raised his head.
The other wizards, hearing this, also turned around, slightly surprised.
That's incredibly fast.
Kieran then skipped over Andre and Ian and came to stand in front of Peter.
Kieran hadn't spoken yet.
At this moment, Peter's body was seen trembling slightly.
"Teacher, please give me another chance."
Kieran shook his head and said, "You can leave after the next quarterly assessment."
What?
Ian, who was standing to the side, was also taken aback.
Peter was also eliminated, and his expression immediately became complicated. Peter had treated him quite well.
result..
It had been so long since a wizard had been eliminated that he had almost forgotten about it, but Kieran is Kieran.
"Why!"
Ian sighed.
Peter's expression immediately fell, clearly indicating that he was also deeply affected.
Kieran, however, remained calm, as if nothing had happened.
Then his gaze fell on El and Ian.
"I have one more thing to announce," Kieran's calm voice drew everyone's attention.
Especially when they saw his gaze lingering on El, Ian, and Andre, everyone realized something.
So he looked toward El.
El was also jolted awake.
So, the teacher really thinks she's the most suitable candidate?
She suppressed her excitement.
"I've made a decision regarding the number of places for this year's Crown of Elements Scholarship."
really!
Al's leg muscles tensed, almost as if he was about to stand up.
Although Andrei knew long ago that he couldn't compete with El, he was still frustrated.
"Ian."
Kieran spoke calmly.
"Thank you..." El opened his mouth quickly and his body rose slightly, but he stopped instantly and even froze.
Ian?
"This spot belongs to Ian. As for the others, if they still want to compete, they can choose to do so through the academy's channels."
Kieran spoke calmly, looking at Ian.
At this moment, Ian stood up, bowed to Kieran, and said, "Thank you, teacher!"
Instantly, everyone's eyes turned to Ian, astonishment, doubt, confusion, and scrutiny all focused on him.
The air was almost frozen.
El froze on the spot, his expression shifting rapidly from initial confidence and anticipation to astonishment, followed by disbelief.
Andrei, standing to the side, also turned to look at Ian in a daze, not understanding how he had obtained it.
"What?"
Gwen, watching all this from a distance, was also stunned. The matter of the scholarship wasn't exactly a secret.
She had always thought it would be Senior El.
So for the past six months, she has actually been trying to build a good relationship with El, which is why she neglected Ian.
How could it be the unknown Ian?
The fact that Kieran values Ian shows that he is definitely not as ordinary as he seems.
Instantly, a deep sense of regret filled her heart. She should have pretended in front of Ian.
"Teacher, may I ask why?"
At this moment, El raised his head, still somewhat unwilling.
Others also looked over.
Kieran did not give a direct answer, but his light swept over all the wizards, making everyone feel an invisible pressure.
"You seem quite surprised?" His voice echoed through the hall.
"Is it because Ian didn't wear 'I've reached my limit' on his sleeve like Al did? Or is it because he didn't repeatedly demonstrate his obvious progress at the quarterly review meetings?"
He paused, each word striking a chord in everyone's hearts: "Perhaps Ian's mental strength is not as good as El's, but the standard for evaluating a wizard has never been limited to mental strength alone, and you will soon find out why."
Not just mental strength?
We'll find out soon?
All eyes turned to Ian.
What exactly is it?
