Chapter 42, Heading to the Magic City
The next day, on the train from Yuncheng to Modu.
Jiang Shang sat alone in front of the window, watching the beautiful scenery outside flash by in his pupils.
The entire high-speed train route is within the security boundary, with a checkpoint set up every ten kilometers, which basically prevents demons from attacking the trains.
He had been on this train for two hours. Ever since he finished the magic test yesterday afternoon and left under the shocked gazes of countless students, Jiang Shang had called Uncle Nan and expressed his intention to go to the Magic City.
Uncle Nan also strongly supported his decision and bought him a ticket to the Magic City overnight.
On the way here, Jiang Shang also carefully checked the special recruitment conditions on the official website of Mingzhu Academy.
There are three departments in Mingzhu Academy that give special bonus points in admissions: the "Curse Department" in black magic, and the "Space Department" and "Summoning Department" in dimensional magic.
To put it bluntly, it is a system of extra points for ethnic minorities in the college entrance examination.
The probability of the summoning type being awakened in the first series is even lower than that of the thunder type. It is not just a minority, it is simply a race that is going to be extinct.
Only one person in the Lei system will be born out of more than a thousand people, but the number of candidates nationwide is tens of thousands. Considering the status of Mingzhu Academy, which is one of the best institutions in the country, your Lei system is just so-so... In fact, they recruit only one in a thousand or ten thousand nationwide.
If you use your thunder system to participate in the school's special recruitment, you will definitely pass.
Jiang Shang didn't believe that there was anyone at the same level who was more accomplished in thunder than himself, who practiced thunder magic.
But I can't use the thunder system to get through, because in my subsequent practice, I will definitely need to cover up the thunder system, otherwise everyone will be the same, and you will be the only one who stands out.
There will definitely be people with bad intentions who will say: "This kid is so scary, he must not be allowed to stay!"
It’s fine for everyone to know how awesome the Thunder element is, but you definitely can’t show off the details of your own training.
After much thought, I decided it would be best to enroll as a second-department student.
After ruling out the black magic 'Curse System', the only things left for Jiang Shang were space and summoning.
Although the summoning system is very good, it is even possible to summon a cat-eared beast girl.
However, Shinし訳ありません (Sorry), I still choose the space system!
As the first city in the south, Shanghai, the Magic City, not only gathers countless excellent magicians, but also attracts countless ordinary people to come to this city to fight. At this time, Jiang Shang was also sitting next to young or middle-aged people from all over the place who came to the Magic City to fight.
However, their topic now is mostly about the blood disaster in Bo City.
As the disaster happened not long ago, everyone is very concerned about what is happening in Bo. As soon as the latest news about Bo appears on their mobile phones, they will be the first to check it.
"This fire mage is so domineering. He killed so many demons with one blow of his fiery fist."
"Yeah, yeah, and he looks so young, I wonder if he has a girlfriend."
A girl with naturally curly hair and wearing thick black-framed glasses said this, with a strange light flashing in her eyes as she spoke.
........................
"Young man, we're here." The taxi driver's words woke Jiang Shang from his thoughts.
He had just been wondering if the boy in the video that was accidentally recorded on the phone was Mo Fan, but the video shot by the phone was very blurry, and because of the fire energy, the man's figure looked very blurry, and he could only tell that he was a young man.
After taking out his wallet from his trouser pocket and paying the taxi fare, Jiang Shang got off the taxi with his luggage. Looking at the Shanghai Magic Association building in front of him, Jiang Shang was also very emotional. In his previous life, the Oriental Pearl Tower was a symbol of Shanghai and a tourist attraction. Here, it was the headquarters of the Magic Association.
The Shanghai Magic Association is also known as the Oriental Magic Association because it is located on the Oriental Pearl Tower.
The Magic Association has always been the most authoritative magic organization in the world. Most of its members are adult magicians and powerful magicians. As long as one is a magician, he or she basically needs to abide by the Magician Convention they have formulated!
There are several obvious provisions in the Magician's Convention. The first is that no magician can use destructive magic above a high level in the city, and using destructive magic below a high level requires a reasonable reason.
The second is that magicians cannot use magic on ordinary people, and will also be treated as murder.
Article 3: Magicians can duel privately. Injuries will not matter, but death will be treated as murder and the execution will be carried out by the Inquisition.
The Magic Association is equivalent to the Public Security Bureau and the court for magicians, and the convention must be observed by magicians all over the world.
Of course, this is the law maker and enforcer of magician laws, and the most authoritative in the world in terms of communication, exchange, trading, and training between magicians. Generally, only very outstanding adult magicians will be absorbed into the Magician Association!
…………
Passing through the exhibition hall that has both advanced and historical significance, Jiang Shang took the elevator to a height of 100 meters.
This floor is called the Lower Sphere, where magicians gather. Although there is also a sightseeing floor, it mainly serves magicians from all over the country.
When you walk out of the elevator, what comes into view is a magnificent lobby. Since the building itself is a spherical building with a diameter of 50 meters, when you look up and see the Renaissance curved dome and magical murals, you can feel the mysterious and brilliant magic atmosphere.
"Is there anything I can do for you, honorable Mr. Magician?" the lobby lady asked with a smile on her face, wearing a cloudy white cheongsam.
"I'm here for magic awakening," Jiang Shang said.
"Do you have an appointment? Or do you want to choose the service now?" the girl asked.
"If I don't have an appointment and want to awaken now, how long will I have to wait in line?" Jiang Shang asked.
"Please wait a moment. I need to check something... If you want to perform magic awakening here, you still need to wait here for about an hour, or make an appointment for Min's service tomorrow, sir?" the girl asked with a smile.
There was no other way. Uncle Nan was only the commander of a small city in the south. The military rules were very strict, and he didn't have the energy to come here to make an appointment. So he could only wait in line for magic awakening.
"Let's do it today. I can still wait for an hour."
"Okay sir, are you heading to the lounge or looking around?"
"I'll take a look around, you go take care of your own things first."
After asking the lobby lady to leave, Jiang Shang came to the lobby window and looked outside.
In my previous life, I had only heard of the Pearl Tower and never had the chance to see it in person.
Looking out through the curved glass, one can see people of all shapes and sizes walking on the square at the bottom of the tower, and vehicles driving back and forth on the driveway from time to time.
Looking from above, everything is so commanding, which naturally gives people a feeling of being in control of the world.
No wonder so many people like the wind system. It feels so good to look down from the sky.
