Chapter 675 - 310: Magic Is Nothing Like Science
Lu Wenwu, who was stroking the big tail of the snow wolf youth, felt like he was having an affair with Mao Mao behind someone’s back.
Isn’t this a kind of NTR?
To be fair, it was not Lu Wenwu’s intention to take advantage of others.
Mainly, the Snow Wolf Race themselves have this tradition of mutual tail-touching to express friendship.
On the high platform, as the old dean brought up a new crystal ball, the few remaining mages quickly completed their tests.
Contrary to what Lu Wenwu imagined, it wasn’t the end.
The arcanists also conducted on-site tests for spiritual power aptitude and elemental affinity.
However, all the teachers from the faculty came out, performing the tests directly in an expanded space.
Compared to the mage’s "ordinary" approach, the arcanists’ process of testing aptitude was far more exciting.
It was truly thrilling.
Occasionally, a genius would appear, or someone with a special talent, causing the entire audience to burst into cheers.
Sometimes, when a newcomer appeared with extremely high elemental affinity but only ordinary spiritual power aptitude, or vice versa, the audience would express a bit of regret.
Overall, the atmosphere at the Magick Magic Academy was quite pleasant.
According to Lu Wenwu’s observation, the majority of senior students were friendly towards the freshmen.
In a cultivation academy of an extraordinary world, having such an academic atmosphere shows the great efforts put in by the school’s professors.
Of course, this also is inseparable from the school’s exceedingly abundant martial virtue.
Without strength, how could order be established?
Lu Wenwu watched the chaotic test scene with great interest, chatting casually with the snow wolf youth Snow beside him, probing to understand the world’s situation.
Snow was from the northern region of the Gods Continent, an ice field bordering other human countries, where the extremely united and cooperative tribe of snow wolves have lived for generations.
Among the Beastman Race, they were not at the top, but definitely not weak either.
As a race friendly with humans, the Snow Wolf tribe would deliberately send their young of the right age to the Jade Empire at this time each year, letting the Magick Wizard Academy determine if they had the qualifications to become wizards.
The nobility of a caster is not mere talk; it is one of the rare ways to break the inherent bloodline shackle of the beastmen.
As one of the few tribes led by wise leaders in the Beastman Race, the Snow Wolf Kings of all ages highly valued the upbringing of their descendants, doing their utmost to send the young to human empire schools with better educational conditions for cultivation.
This is why, despite not being the strongest in bloodline, the Snow Wolf Race remains among the major tribes.
According to Snow, besides him, several of his cousins also entered the Magick Wizard Academy.
However, they did not have a mage talent and instead entered the Arcane Academy.
Following the direction Snow pointed, Lu Wenwu indeed saw seven or eight fluffy white snow wolves lining up for testing.
During their conversation, with the collaboration of many professors, the testing ceremony quickly concluded.
The old principal did not ramble like ordinary leaders but simply said a few words about the academy’s rules, welcomed the new students, and vaguely outlined the study plan and class distribution.
He then decisively announced the end of the opening ceremony, allowing the senior students to lead the juniors back to the dormitories on their own.
Having lived here for a while, Lu Wenwu was very familiar with the place.
It’s worth noting that the snow wolf Snow turned out to be his roommate in the same large room.
The other two roommates were even more notable.
One appeared rather silent and dull, a Silver Skull.
The other wasn’t even in "human" form, but just a cluster of indeterminate Fire Element!
Who knows why a Fire Element would come to school!
Lu Wenwu stared at the Fire Element classmate for a full ten seconds, making the other nervous enough to quickly return to their room and lock the door before he finally looked away.
He really wanted to ask how the Fire Element would sleep at night.
Unfortunately, that seemed a bit impolite, so he decided to let it go.
Feeling slightly disappointed, Lu Wenwu introduced Mao Mao to Snow.
The wolf and the dog found common ground, conversing happily in a special canine way.
They even shared a sense of meeting a kindred spirit, longing to talk all night.
If Lu Wenwu hadn’t reminded them that they needed to wake up early for class the next day, these playful creatures might indeed have stayed up all night.
To this, the snow wolf Snow howled in dismay, "It’s so frustrating! We’re both canines, so why doesn’t Mao Mao have to attend class? I really want to live that carefree life of eating, drinking, and having fun!"
...
The next morning, after running five kilometers with an empty stomach, Snow arrived at the canteen where Lu Wenwu was already enjoying a delicious egg pancake.
He was undoubtedly the center of attention in the canteen.
While others had to serve themselves, the special delicacies that Lu Wenwu enjoyed, which no one else could access, were respectfully brought to him by four Arcane Servants.
Even the professors did not have such treatment!
The senior students of the Magic Academy cast envious glances, whispering about Lu Wenwu’s background and the terrifying talent that had broken the crystal ball yesterday!
