Wizard Calendar 1325, August 6th.
The Wizard Alliance launched a grand selection exam for talented Elemental Apprentices.
This exam does not involve Meditation Talent, does not involve combat strength, nor does it differentiate between elements, it only tests the ability to control elements, and any Elemental Apprentice can register.
Once admitted, the treatment is the same as that of Abyssal Wizards who follow the bloodline path.
Countless apprentices from elemental factions see this exam as their only way to change their fate and have registered eagerly to participate.
On the most remote continent of the Wizard Alliance, in the southwest of the Moor Continent, inside a small 10-meter-high Wizard Tower in the center of a coastal town.
Two middle-aged Wizard Apprentices, one male and one female, sat at the end of a wooden long table, seated at the head was a second-level female Wizard Apprentice, the other was a first-level Wizard Apprentice.
"Vincentia, have you made up your mind?"
The female apprentice looked at the middle-aged man with golden hair and brown eyes filled with fighting spirit sitting to her right and advised: "Now the position of Harvest Wizard has entered a scarcity phase, and many apprentices still in the Wizard Tower have already learned Harvest Witchcraft early, just waiting for any Harvest Wizard to leave so they can apply for the vacancy."
"Once you leave, it may be difficult to get this position again next time."
"Although you can force a Fireball Technique to turn a corner, your control over elements is indeed strong, and in the Fire and Wood Faction within Dean Wizard Tower, you're the only example."
"But you must know that your opponents are all the Wizard Apprentices from Eleven Continents, with genius and monstrous talents emerging endlessly."
"And you are merely a first-level Harvest Wizard Apprentice who has contributed two Witchcraft Positions, with the remaining three witchcraft positions, apart from Fireball Technique, the other two are all farming witchcrafts."
"To rank among the top one thousand in competition with them and qualify to become a Mechanical Wizard Apprentice, this likelihood is almost non-existent."
After ten years of acquaintance, they had already become close friends, and the female Wizard couldn't bear the thought of her friend losing this hard-won position.
"Yes, I've made up my mind."
Vincentia looked directly into the female Wizard's eyes and nodded firmly, "As a Harvest Wizard, I had no expectations in life."
"Some time ago, I also thought about finding a Wizard Apprentice or a mortal to marry like you all, entrusting hope to the next generation."
"Yesterday morning, I even made up my mind, but..."
He didn't continue, but the female Wizard gave a bitter smile.
Announcements from the Wizard Tower were conveyed by her without compromise.
She initially didn't pay much attention to this matter and read it out to the two Harvest Wizard Apprentices routinely, expecting it to be ignored as usual by her two colleagues.
The other friend indeed ignored the notice, but who would have thought Vincentia would suddenly go crazy wanting to change his fate.
She didn't deny Vincentia had certain talents in control, but he wasn't thinking about how many competitors he had.
If fate could be easily changed, would it still be called fate?
"This afternoon at five, a train from the Weston Wizard Tower will pass through our small town, with the final stop being the Dean Wizard Tower."
The female Wizard sighed softly and said: "If you've decided to leave, I'll make arrangements in advance, and the train will stop for a minute to let you board."
"Thank you, Lorna." Vincentia showed a brilliant smile: "Once I become a Mechanical Wizard Apprentice... or rather after I become a one-ring Mechanical Wizard, if your children or descendants wish to become a Mechanical Wizard, I will do my best to secure a spot for them."
"Thank you in advance." Lorna said somewhat helplessly: "If you fail, I'll speak to an old friend at Dean Wizard Tower, maybe you can go somewhere else as a Harvest Wizard Apprentice."
Clearly, she didn't place trust in her friend's promise, nor did she believe her friend could become a Mechanical Wizard Apprentice.
At five in the afternoon, with the sound of the train's whistle, a first-level Wizard Apprentice whose potential had been exhausted and could only await death stepped upon the path of chasing dreams.
...
Time passed, and a year flew by in an instant.
Francis City, above the square representing glory outside Francis Tower, a thousand-meter-long purple spaceship slowly descended.
Below the spaceship, Francis, Soul Speaker Domenico, along with two Fourth Ring Life Wizards, seventy-three Third Ring Life Wizards, and twelve Third Ring Soul Mages stood silently, watching the spaceship land.
"Clatter—"
The spaceship landed, and both the upper and lower doors opened simultaneously.
Amy flew out first from the upper door, bowed in front of Francis, and reported: "Speaker, one thousand Elemental Wizard Apprentices with the strongest control have been selected."
"Among them, the one with the strongest control is named Vincentia Xavier, with a notable gap from other Wizard Apprentices."
"Other Wizards can light up at most five hundred seventy-two energy nodes, while he can light up three thousand seven hundred fifty-three."
The so-called energy nodes are control measurement tools that she had the Magic Artifact Researcher develop half a year ago.
The appearance is still the uninspired spherical Crystal Ball, containing ten thousand energy nodes that move at high speed once activated, and Wizard Apprentices can manipulate Elemental Energy to light the nodes in sequence.
Once a control error causes other energy nodes to light up prematurely, it means the test is over.
Typically, a third-level apprentice who can light up a hundred energy nodes is considered competent in Elemental Control, with breakthroughs becoming increasingly difficult.
