68 Chapter 68

[2 AR March 16]

Ceres was sitting in her office, at the moment she was writing another book, which was a continuation of 1 book, which she and Ivo wrote in the winter. Of course, over the winter, they wrote several books on different topics, for example, a book about common plants, a collection of spells Magic of 0 circle, etc. But now Ceres discovered that some of the students had already memorized the first book and they had many questions.

Therefore, using what Ivo taught her, she wrote the second part of the book called "Magic for Beginners Volume 2 Energy and Core. Authors Ivo Esnor and Ceres Esnor "

In this book, Ceres described the properties of the Cores, the known types of energy, as well as the cores of creatures. A girl was sitting next to her desk, copying books. Ivo has not yet invented the printing press, but since the academy has a shortage of books, mages allow some of the best students to rewrite books.

For some students, copying books is a punishment, for them, it is too boring, for others it is a blessing, because thanks to this, they can access books that are not available to students, for example, books about rare creatures or books on alchemy with magical reagents.

Selena, who was copying the book, put down her quill and sighed, "I'm finally done, it's so exhausting."

Ceres chuckled and said, "But it trains your patience perfectly, in the future it will be easier for you to write books."

Selena became interested and asked "Write books? Why do I need this? "

Ceres replied "Ivo always said that a student who does not surpass his teacher is pathetic, you can be unimaginably strong, but what's the point if after your death no one can continue your work?"

Selena thought deeply and after a minute asked, "What does it take to write your own books?"

Ceres replied "In general, as far as I know, Ivo was going to build a large library, where a lot of books would be kept and anyone could read them, but in the house of knowledge everything is a little different. After 2 years of your studies, you have a choice, either to be free and have no obligations, or to become an official magician. "

Selena looked questioningly at the teacher. "Official magician?"

Ceres nodded. "Yes, all teachers in the House of Knowledge bear this title. After completing the training, you can become a 0-star magician. As you already know, magicians are divided into different ranks, Mage of 0 circle, Mage of 1 circle, etc. "

"But this is only a gradation of power, official magicians are divided into stars, for example, to become a magician of 1-star, you need to have the power of Mage of 1 circle, as well as have the necessary knowledge for this. When you want to upgrade your rank to 1-star mage, you will have to pass the 3-star mage rating. "

"Only 1-star magicians can leave their books in the house of Knowledge. The promotion process is the same to a 2 and 3-star mage. To become a 4 star magician you have to contribute some useful knowledge to the magic community. "

Selena thought about it and then asked, "What's next?"

Ceres smiled "As long as there are no magicians higher than 4 stars in the tribe and we have not yet come up with a rating for promotion"

Selena nodded thoughtfully. Ceres put down her quill and said, "I think it's time for us to warm up."

After a little thought, she said, "You have already learned all the basic spells of the 0 circle?"

Selena nodded in the affirmative. Ceres thought for a moment and then said "Although you still have Mage of 0 circle mana, I think you can cast Magic of 1 circle twice."

From what she heard, an unprecedented joy appeared in Selena's eyes. She loves nothing more than learning new and powerful spells

A few minutes later, a pair of teacher and student stood on the training ground in front of the targets.

Ceres said "The spell I'll teach you is called Magic Arrow, unlike most spells, it doesn't require converting mana into any element. Instead, we're thickening the mana. If not for the mana cost, this spell would have been lowered for 0 circle "

Then she raised her hand and spoke [Magic Arrow] in magical language. Mana began to release from her fingertips. Aiming well, Ceres launched the projectile and the spell struck directly at the target.

Selena, watching everything closely, looked at the target. But unfortunately, practically nothing remained of the target.

Aroused by the power of this spell, she looked at her teacher with her puppy eyes and said, "Master Ceres, please teach me this spell."

Ceres laughed merrily and said, "Of course, that's why we came here."

After her words, she began her training. The spell was not difficult, but still it required more serious control over mana, so Selena did not succeed the first time.

When Selena ran out of mana, Ceres stroked her head and said, "You are good at it, but your core has not stabilized yet, so you shouldn't strain yourself so much, you'd better rest."

Selena nodded sadly, because she had never been such that something did not work for her. This was her first obstacle in her short life.

After thinking a little, Ceres added, "You shouldn't practice this spell without the supervision of a magician, because anything can happen. But knowing you, you just won't calm down. Resolved, after class, you will help me rewrite the books, and after that I will study with you for a bit. "

Selena's mood improved slightly and she nodded happily. After all, now, although Ceres did not officially recognize this, Selena became her personal student.

Who doesn't want to become the personal disciple of a tribal sage?
