Half-elf Notebook

Chapter 199 Magic Academy

"How is it?" Aixia tilted her head and asked Ina. After all, she was half a magic apprentice, so she could still look up the magic circles in the magic props.

But it is only limited to level three and below.

Naturally, I can understand what Ina is doing.

"It's expected."

Ina gave a cryptic answer.

It is obviously not appropriate to comment on the facilities of the college you are about to enter.

Soon, he and Aixia stepped into the courtyard behind the fence and approached the majestic black and white building standing in it.

As you enter the building, you will see the hall in front of you.

A hall with exquisite decoration.

The walls of the hall are paved with natural white marble tiles with unique irregular patterns, and colorful oil paintings are hung in an orderly manner at regular intervals.

Under your feet is a soft and thick carpet.

It's a blend of cotton and wool and feels very comfortable.

In the center of the hall is a wide semicircular reception counter, like the centerpiece of a stage.

Two winding staircases extend leisurely to the second floor.

The handrails and steps of the stairs are paved with brown-black solid wood, which is rich, simple and elegant.

It adds a touch of the solemn yet low-key temperament that a magic academy should have.

The temperature inside the room was just like that in the Berleman Chamber of Commerce's carriage, approaching that of early summer in the northern city. It was extremely suitable and formed a sharp contrast with the frosty and snowy world outside.

The two girls slowly approached the counter.

At this time, a woman wearing a slim short coat and with her hair tied up behind her head, who was sitting there, had already noticed their arrival.

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

The lady asked, smiling at the two girls.

"I hope you can give this letter to Dean Eruflan Alan and tell him... say it's from the Berleman Chamber of Commerce."

Aixia paused, handed over a letter with the unique wax seal of the Berleman Chamber of Commerce, and continued:

"This is the little lady taking the academy test."

She had originally intended to casually say that she was a magic apprentice, but considering Ina's actual magical rank, this was a bit derogatory.

When the receptionist heard the names of the Berleman Chamber of Commerce and the dean of the college, she was obviously stunned.

She quickly adjusted her posture and spoke in a more respectful tone:

"I'll deliver it right away."

"The testing room is in..."

After getting up, she quickly explained the location of the room to the two of them, and after politely saying goodbye, she hurried to the dean's office.

The Berleman Chamber of Commerce is not only huge in size, but also well-known among the people... Seeing the astonished look on the receptionist's face, Ina thought thoughtfully.

He turned to look at the instigator of this incident, President Berleman's daughter.

Aixia noticed her gaze and responded with a friendly and appropriate smile. Her slender fingers pointed to the elegant sofa and coffee table in the corner of the hall:

"I'll wait for you over there."

"I'll be back soon."

After that, Ina went up the stairs alone.

The testing room is room number 4 on the second floor.

Using the word "room" to describe it may not be accurate.

Based on Ina's observation of the entire building and the entrance hall.

In terms of area alone, it is far larger than the classroom on the second floor of Meikos's home that is used as a private school.

She bent her fingers and knocked on a brown-black door with a gold-trimmed plaque and number 204.

"come in."

She waited quietly until a young and vaguely arrogant voice sounded from behind the door, then she turned the copper doorknob, made a small turn, and pushed the door open.

In the huge space, a man in his early 20s, wearing a pointed wizard hat and a windbreaker similar to a wizard's robe, sat leisurely on a long sofa.

In front of the sofa is an ordinary table of equal length.

Against the backdrop of the empty space around them, the two looked particularly out of place, as if they had been temporarily moved in - and between him and Ina were a dozen square tables covered with similar thick curtains.

There were several items placed on it, including a crystal ball supported by a metal bracket.

Two glasses, one filled with water and one empty.

And a box of matches.

The young magician was concentrating on the book in his hands. Even when Ina walked into the room, he did not look up to meet her eyes.

It seemed as if most of the people who came were not worth his attention.

The air echoed with the monotonous sound of Ina's moccasins tapping on the tiles.

As she got closer, it became more and more obvious.

She walked closer to a square table, stopped, and asked:

"Excuse me……"

The man rudely interrupted Ina's question:

"Just put your hand on the crystal ball over there. You should have used it when testing whether your magic power has been awakened. You will pass only if a noticeable white light appears. Otherwise, you will not be eligible to participate in the next test."

The man then looked up at the standing half-elf, his eyes filled with undisguised pride and arrogance.

However, almost at the same time, the man felt a short, slight, tingling pain on his skin, like a needle piercing his skin.

He was almost frightened to death.

The book in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.
