Volume 1 Chapter 119 (1/2)

There is no free meal

The becoming famous Great Magician Camilla mentioned was becoming famous in the magician circle.

This magazine like thing was a periodic released inside the Magicians Guild, so only Great Magicians and Arch Magi will regularly get it.

So Great Magician Camilla saying Xu Yi’s become famous means that he was known by many Great Magicians.

There were only twenty seven Arch Magic and over five hundred Great Magicians on the entire Sines Continent, so strictly speaking Xu Yi was only famous among these five hundred or so people. To be honest this couldn’t be considered famous at all.

“Idiot!” Great Magician Camilla angrily looked at Xu Yi, “Arch Magi and Great Magicians are the top characters among magicians, so having the Arch Magi and Great Magicians knowing about you, that is equal to all the magicians knowing about you. Is this not considered being famous?”

Xu Yi looked at Great Magician Camilla in shock, “Really?”

“Why would I lie to you?” Great Magician Camilla pointed underneath him, “As long as I wanted, all the people in this Magic Tower would learn about this news. If they then spread this news to others, all the magicians in Banta City and the surrounding cities would know about this. Let me tell you, this internal periodic has a high position in the hearts of the magicians of the continent, so if you can appear in this periodic, it is hard not to become famous.”

Xu Yi stroked his chin, looking a bit confused.

“Although it is rare to see someone become a Fifth Grade Magician with their first exam, with how high scale this periodic is, I think I shouldn’t be qualified to appear in this periodic, right?”

Great Magician Camilla shook his head, “Of course it’s not because you became a Fifth Grade Magician. Although this doesn’t happen often, there are many people who participate in the guild’s exam and there will always be someone who is as shocking as you, so this matter isn’t considered rare. This periodic isn’t a newspaper that reports gossip like the «Banta Times», it only reports on things related to magic. For you to appear on it, it is actually related to your answers on the Fifth Grade exam written test.”

“Written test answers?” Xu Yi remembered when he took part in the test and was a bit astonished, “Why do I feel that there isn’t anything special about that?”

“You don’t think it’s special?” Great Magician Camilla looked at Xu Yi as he asked this with a serious look.

Seeing how serious Great Magician Camilla was, Xu Yi seriously thought about it before shaking his head, “No, I don’t.”

Great Magician Camilla’s expression became a bit strange, “Xu Yi, it seems like I’ve still underestimated your talent. Come, take a look at the appraisal of you in the periodic.”

Xu Yi took the thick periodic from Great Magician Camilla’s hands and turned to the seventh page as instructed. He found that what was written on it was actually the questions on Magic Arrays he had encountered in the Fifth Grade exam.

Xu Yi noticed that the one who wrote this article was called Gordon Eisenkel.

This name was a bit familiar to Xu Yi. Thinking about it, he finally remembered that when he had just started working at Great Magician Camilla’s Magic Tower, Sarash had mentioned this name. He said that he was the richest Great Magician in the Lampuri Kingdom.

And in this article, this richest Great Magician was filled with praise for the answers that Xu Yi had given.

The Magic Arrays in the written exam were only Fifth Grade Arrays. The questions were asking about some details of the Magic Arrays, as well as some small requests to let the examinee improve a few parts of the Magic Array.

Xu Yi already knew a great deal about Magic Arrays and adding in the fact that he focused most of his energy in changing Magic Arrays to suit the needs of magic machines, these kinds of questions were a piece of cake for him.

After the test was finished, the old examiners from the Magicians Guild were unanimous that Xu Yi’s answers far surpassed the level of normal Fifth Grade Magicians. They specially agreed to let him pass the test and become a Fifth Grade Magician.

And in this article, Great Magician Eisenkel analyzed the answer Xu Yi gave bit by bit, clearly explaining all the ideas behind Xu Yi’s answers.

“......This is completely a genius level of creativity! Using the curves of the array to change the Magic Array’s magical elemental area density absorption, causing a change in the area of effect of the Magic Array, this is simply allowing the Magic Array to come alive! If we can promote this kind of creativity, we can even change Magic Arrays as we wish, allowing the Magic Arrays to reach the effects we want. I can definitely say that this Xu Yi’s research on Magic Arrays has reached the level of grandmaster! Even I can’t compare to him!”

Seeing Great Magician Eisenkel’s straightforward praise in the article, Xu Yi couldn’t help blushing a bit.
