Volume 1 Chapter 1 (1/2)

Applicant

It was early June, the beginning of summer. Banta City was like Beijing in the previous world, they were both sweltering.

Wearing the graduate uniform of the Senkaiser School, Xu Yi who was completely covered from head to toe was already feeling hot after walking a little bit down the road.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he had used his magic to cover his body in a miniature Frost Array, his entire body would be soaked in sweat right now.

“Is it here?”

Xu Yi stopped and looked up at the thirty meter tall building in front of him. The bottom floor was a Magic Tower that surpassed over ten thousand square meters. His eyes finally fell onto the plaque at the door at the front of the Magic Tower.

“Camilla Magic Tower.”

That’s right, it was here.

Seeing the plaque, Xu Yi’s heart was filled with nervousness, even causing him to reveal a smile of self ridicule.

His current mood was as nervous as when he graduated from university five years ago and went to work at his first large mechanical engineering company.

Xu Yi didn’t belong to this world.

Three years ago, he was one of the most important mechanical engineering masters of the largest mechanical engineering company of his country on earth, having an outstanding reputation in the business. He was only twenty four at that time, it could be considered very rare and he had bright prospects for the future.

However, the world was unpredictable. Three years ago, during an engineering survey, he fell into the water and woke up to find that he had transmigrated to another world.

In the beginning, Xu Yi thought that he was like a protagonist in one of those novels, easily becoming a super magician in this magic focused world, reaching the same peak in life.

But it was a pity that reality was very brutal.

It could be said that Xu Yi’s magical talent wasn’t bad and after coming to this world, he had adapted in just six months. With his effort, he spent two years to get into a magical school, completing a course that normal students needed four years or longer to complete. He was called a magical genius by many of the teachers of the school.

The problem was that Xu Yi’s time in this world was too short and the magicians of this world began training in magic since they were young. No matter how much talent Xu Yi had, it was hard to stand out immediately.

Not to mention he didn’t have any foundation in this world, so he could only enter the Senkaiser School which was a very normal magical school in the Lampuri Kingdom. The magic being taught wasn’t especially strong, so even though Xu Yi could far surpass his peers at the Senkaiser School, when placed on the entire continent, it wasn’t worth anything.

Therefore after Xu Yi graduated from the Senkaiser School, he faced the same awkward situation as many university graduates on earth would face, unemployment.

“No matter what, I have to make the interview today a success.” Xu Yi forcefully shook his head, shaking away the nervousness and chaotic memories of his previous life from his mind. After focusing himself, he took a deep breath and walked into the Magic Tower.

Great Magician Camilla was one of the most powerful magicians in Banta City. If he could obtain the opportunity to help with this magician’s research, Xu Yi believed that he could rapidly increase his magical power, thus achieving his value in this world.

What surpassed Xu Yi’s expectations was that the guarding of the Magic Tower was not that strict, as he easily walked through the front door. Although there were people wearing different robes passing by him, they at most gave him a look of curiosity. Most people chose to ignore him.

Looking at the rapid steps of these people and the looks of serious contemplation on their faces, Xu Yi couldn’t help thinking of the mechanical engineering research facility he belonged to back on earth.

The researchers of the facility, including him, would usually have this kind of expression on their faces.

Thinking of this, the nervousness in Xu Yi’s heart disappeared without a trace.

He came to the unlatched front gate of the Magic Tower with a few steps and without any hesitation, Xu Yi pulled open the door. When he had just walked in, he suddenly heard the sounds of rushed footsteps coming from behind. He immediately reached out his hands to stop the doors that were about to automatically closed and kept them open.

Turning around to take a look, Xu Yi was a bit stunned.

The one rushing forward was actually a beautiful young girl with a head of bright yellow hair. Although she was wearing the same simple black magician’s robe, it still revealed her beautiful figure. Matched with her stunning facial features and her slim face, that had a confident smile hanging on it, she was filled with a young vitality.

Back in the research facility, from time to time, there would be beautiful girls like this girl who came as interns.

The girl saw Xu Yi holding the door waiting for her to come over. After being surprised for a bit, she revealed a smile to Xu Yi and nodded in gratitude.

Xu Yi returned the smile and after she came in, he turned to head to the Magic Tower’s affairs department he had just seen behind the door.

The girl behind him saw Xu Yi’s simple departure and was stunned again. She took one deep look at Xu Yi’s back before turning to leave.

She went to the magical ladder at the center of the Magic Tower and directly headed to the highest level of the Magic Tower.

If Xu Yi understood the Magic Tower a bit more, he would know that the peak of the Magic Tower was the personal space of the Magic Tower’s owner, which was the Great Magician Camilla.

But Xu Yi didn’t have time to consider this. After he stated his purpose after arriving at the affairs department, they quickly prepared two people to interview him.

But it wasn’t that smooth.

When the two interviewers heard that Xu Yi had graduated from the Senkaiser School, the expression on their faces changed slightly.

Xu Yi was very familiar with this change because he had seen it many times in the past half a year.

This was clear despising.

The Senkaiser School wasn’t considered famous in the Lampuri Kingdom, so as a Senkaiser School graduate, Xu Yi wasn’t regarded as anything important.

“Eh…..Xu…..Xu Yi, right? Have you participated in the Magicians Guild’s certification testing yet?” The slightly chubby interviewer on the right continued asking him questions.

This question was considered goodwill to Xu Yi, but it was a pity Xu Yi could only awkwardly shake his head.

He had been in this world for less than three years, it was already quite hard for him to graduate the Senkaiser School. When would he have time to take the certification test for the Magicians Guild?

The more important thing was that the fees for the Magicians Guild’s certification tests were not cheap and Xu Yi was already being stretched paying his fees for the Senkaiser School, his living fees, and the occasional consumption for magical research. How could he possibly have spare cash to spend?
