"Wood."

After the course, Victor, with all the wizards who had withdrawn, was about to leave the auditorium when he heard someone calling the puppet corpse's surname. He turned around and saw a young man standing behind him with a smile on his face.

"I am the senior of this series, James."

[What's wrong?]

"As a grade chief, I have the responsibility to guide freshmen so that you can better integrate into the new academy." Although such an answer cannot be picked out at all, Victor still does not want to contact others too much. The mage is no more than ordinary people, and it is easy to detect its uniqueness.

[If you want to be familiar with the terrain, I have already recorded the map.] However, the lich's polite refusal did not make the other party give up.

"In this academy, you have to record more than just the terrain, Wood's auditor."

James' last sentence forced Victor to change his mind. The audience was a variable it had not expected, and he did not expect the academy to give him a warning. It seemed that Duke Mendel's name was not loud enough in Taran, otherwise the academy would not dare to do this trick.

So, under the leadership of James, Victor began a visit to Jingyao Academy, and the first person introduced by the grade leader was the West District where the auditorium was located.

"This is the largest and most complex district of the entire college. All factions in the college have an independent exclusive school. Originally, there were only eight major categories of the law. Since the Cataclysm, the three major academies have had serious differences. Afaret respected power first, Bynum was more conservative, and Jing Yao chose neutrality without bias, so some strange factions were born.

Take the war department we are in for example. The teaching content includes three categories: enchantment, protection and prophecy. It would be fine if the academy wants to integrate these together. The problem is that the expertise of the mentors is not right! I really don’t know what the old men are thinking. Perhaps because most of the mages who chose this series are aristocratic, their purpose in the future is to make up the numbers on the battlefield, so it has implicated those who really want to learn. Hello, you also know what I want to express, right?"

James originally wanted to say that the so-called war department is actually cannon fodder, and only those nobles who are so bored that they want to learn everything and those who don’t know anything will stay. He belongs to the latter. After being assigned to it, he found that this place is a completely tragedy, and it is impossible to transfer to other subjects. In addition, he is only from an ordinary family and cannot afford the expensive transfer fee.

[Honestly, I don't understand.]

"Uh..." James almost couldn't continue his topic, but fortunately he was quite responsive. He waved his hand and pointed at the building on the left side of the auditorium: "Look at it! The most crowded faction in Jingyao Academy - the Elements Department School, the more grand it is, it is as grand as it is. It is not like ours, and the auditorium is temporarily renovated to make up for the number."

Following his hand, Victor saw a magnificent building, which, in terms of appearance and land alone, was indeed more than other nearby buildings.

But that's all, he glanced at him and turned his head back to James: [Is it over?]

"Not yet..." The grader who felt bored continued to lead Victor to the academy.

Walking back to the Boulevard, James pointed to a fork to the south and introduced: "There are the keys that lead to the alchemy room over there... Well, we don't seem to have explained the keys. Do you still remember the keys you got when you came into the academy?"

Victor nodded.

"That is the masterpiece of Master Pelo, a special key specially designed for freshmen. Don't underestimate public places. You have to go to the big library. The two places in the alchemy room do not have that key. As long as you use it once, the magic circle attached to the gate or any entrance and exit will be automatically identified and you can enter and exit freely in the future. But if you are an outsider without a pass... you will be attacked."

[The key to my door is gone.] The hand that the doorman gave him automatically disappeared after putting it into the door. When Victor was thinking that the academy would do anything again, James laughed.

"Don't you know that Jing Yao strictly prohibits going out before graduation?"

Victor stopped.

Although I have never been in the orthodox mage academy, according to what James said, the tutor of the War Department still deliberately delayed time, and even if he met the graduation conditions like others, he would not be able to graduate? This is not very good. The purpose of coming to Jingyao is mainly to be promoted to a higher-level mage, and by the way, he also looked at the library here. It did not intend to stay here until the battle of light and darkness ten years later.

"Well... I think about it, in addition to the Reit in this department, there are also mages in the protection and enchantment departments who have been in the academy for more than twenty years. They have not graduated, so they have been unable to leave."

[How come there is such a regulation? I have only heard of forced withdrawal from school, but I have never heard of forced staying in school.] When I thought that I could not leave this restriction before graduation, the Lich not only began to doubt whether this was a way for Mendel to prevent him from posing a threat to Lucien? Or was it just that the college wanted to embarrass the Grand Duke?

"Hehe... I'm really ignorant. These days, fewer and fewer people can become mages. In order to compete for students, the three major academies often use various rogue tricks. Compared with Afaret, Jing Yao is considered civilized and only limits freedom to the academy. Although you have to pay for three meals a day, it is free from the Alchemy Room Library. Think about those expensive materials and top secret classics. This is the price of obtaining knowledge. As long as it is not too out of the way, no one will care about it." James has been in Jing Yao for five years. He was also a genius in Notting's ordinary academy. He obtained the qualification to advance at the age of eighteen. When Jing Yao came, he realized that there were many people who were as talented as himself.

"Let's go on. The alchemy room is only guarded during the day. Many mages sneak in after dark to do experiments. As for the same sentence, as long as you are not caught, you can do whatever you want."

[Where is the big library?]

This place that Victor is really interested in. The limited edition collection of classics centuries ago, ancient manuscripts, the master's personal experience, etc., all seduced it as the only hope of the undead.

"The big library...there are much more restrictions there than the alchemy room. No matter how you do it, you can't summon monsters of the level of demons or lichs. But the big library is different. It stores many precious ancient books and prohibited books that are prohibited from reading. The reading authority is also determined according to the level. For the intern level like ours, you can only read ordinary books on the first floor. Only the great mage and the magician can read it. As for the forbidden book pavilion... there are only three people in the entire academy who have this authority to enter." When talking about the library, James could only sigh deeply. There is no way, who said that the hierarchy here is very strict, and the books he wants to read are all classified on the second floor above the great mage.

[Where are you going to get the key you mentioned?] I most want to go to the big library, but Victor no longer has any keys in his hand.

"The guard has it in his hands. There are people on duty in the alchemy room and the large library during the day. You can get one with the invitation letter in your hand. As long as you enter with your identity, you can enter and exit as you like. Of course, it does not include the restricted area. Come on, I will take you to see the most worthy of attention in Jing." When you think of the place you want to introduce next, James' previous depression was wiped out.

The north of the academy is an arena, which is not open here normally. Only when two mages are not allowed to compete due to private conflicts or factional disputes, the submitted duel application will be activated.

The gloomy and mysterious architectural style, coupled with the crows that have been entrenched here for many years, has a very lingering atmosphere of monsters in horror stories.

"Who said that only mercenaries can compete and fight? This is the place where those who are irritable have academic exchanges. From the lowest level of fireball to the meteor fire rain that symbolizes the advanced spells, single spells to large-scale attacks, this is the only place to feast your eyes."

Victor didn't interrupt and let James froth.

"Everyone has a duel opportunity once a month, whether it is an apprentice or the highest level of the great magician. Regardless of the level, as long as you accept the invitation, you must decide the winner. Look at the monument, all the names of the winners in this arena are recorded."

[I think you can take me to the dormitory, I am sleepy.] The lich who didn't have to sleep at all said lies without changing his face.

"Okay... tell me the address arranged by the school." Seeing that the other party was not interested at all, James also wanted to end his routine care for the freshmen as soon as possible.

[February 07, West Courtyard.] Seeing James' face change slightly, Victor couldn't help but feel more attentive: [Is that dormitory not good?]

"It's not bad, it's very bad. There's an evil and evil master inside." James lowered his voice, and his doubts about the new student became even greater.

Isn't it rumored that the son of a great nobleman? The college arranged him to live with that guy, and it was clearly trying to kill him.

[Lead the way.]

"Uh... aren't you afraid? Evil mages are different from neutral. They kill people if they want to kill, and there is no reason. Moreover, that guy has supported Elder Ramd. In the past ten years, anyone who lives in the same room has been killed without exception." James took Victor to the dormitory area south, and there are also canteens, bathhouses and other small living shops. If you don't look at the scale and the effect alone, Jingyao Academy is a completely miniature city.

※※※※※※※※※※※※

The dormitory area is also covered with green trees, and a mud brick house is built every ten meters away.

"Here, that's it."

From a distance, James stopped, and he whispered, pointing directly to the last cottage arranged in strips, signaling to Victor - that was Room 07, West Courtyard.

"Knock! Knock!" He walked forward and knocked twice symbolically, without waiting for a response inside, Victor pushed the door and entered. A man sat next to the wooden table beside the window. The bright red robe, even the indifferent lich, could not help but be a little surprised.
Chapter completed!
