1 A Tremendous Evolution

There was a magnificent building in a remote mountain area of the Sunset Empire.

It was the North Magic Academy.

On the peak of the mountain, a youth was using magic.

His name was George. He was dressed very plainly, wearing a school uniform for several days.

Since he hailed from a poor family, he must have used his personal connections to attend the academy.

Almost half of the family had been working hard to send George into the North Magic Academy.

Although it was not as good as the Advanced Magic Academy, it was still a respectable magic academy!

The Advanced Magic Academy was built with the support of William Castle, and it was extremely prosperous inside.

Although the North Magic Academy was not ranked high in the Sunset Empire, there were still many people who wanted to enter the Magic Academy but didn't have the chance.

Since George could attend the academy, of course he wouldn't let his family down.

That explained why he practiced hard every day.

He could use fire magic perfectly and chant a spell with his mouth.

With a magic spell, fire magic and fireballs appeared around the youth's body.

Apparently, chanting was only the most common method used by magic apprentices and mages.

Some methods used by magisters included spells or primers to activate magic by changing the spells or primers.

Magic would appear near the caster, which was of course faster than chanting.

However, the methods used by mages above the intermediate level were much faster than these. They could directly activate their own magic with a gesture.

In spite of that, George was still unable to get rid of the title of trash.

At the North Magic Academy, many people of George's age had already reached the mage level.

However, he had not made significant improvement.

There were even people younger than George whose magic level was higher than his.

It had been a year since he came to the North Magic Academy, and his magic had not improved significantly.

George had thought about giving up, but then he dismissed the idea when he looked at the others, who were working hard.

Because of that, he continued to practice with them.

But, he was still rejected by many people.

This was the life George lived every day.

Every day, he would come to the top of the mountain behind the academy.

Just to get away from his gate.

When he practiced on the peak of the mountain, he would always feel like he had the whole world.

Gradually, the peak of the mountain became like the place where George belonged.

Whenever he was bored, he would come to the peak of the mountain.

The mountainous scenery made him very relaxed.

At this moment, he closed his eyes tightly and felt that he had received fire magic.

"The Flame of the Red Lotus, which is buried deep in the darkness, is summoned in my name!"

Although he practiced day and night, his strength still lingered in the same spot.

Therefore, he could not help but think whether it was because of himself or the academy.

Seeing other students improve by leaps and bounds.

George was naturally a little envious.

He was already eighteen years old, but his strength was still stuck at the level of a magic apprentice.

What he used was the lowest level of magic, which could not cause any substantial damage.

Earnestly, he hoped to show his might in front of others.

Of course, the higher the level of magic, the stronger the magic that was cast.

The mage God was the realm that every mage dreamed of reaching.

Reaching the mage God realm was equivalent to stepping into the realm of God.

In the records of magic, there were only a few people who had reached the level of an archmage.

Undoubtedly, every magic realm comprised a forbidden spell.

The so-called forbidden spell was a spell that was cast when a spell was used to the extreme.

Once a forbidden spell was cast, it could directly destroy an empire.

For this reason, in the magic world, there were not only mages and warriors but also daunting curse masters.

They were in charge of all the forbidden curses of magic.

If they were not forbidden, there would be all kinds of problems, whether it was for magic or for individuals.

It was terrible to be ostracized by others.

Allegedly, fire magic was considered useless in George's hands.

He really did not know why he came to the Magic Academy.

Not only was it a waste of resources, but his strength had not improved.

In this way, George could hear it almost every day.

Not only the students, but even some of the teachers also did not like George.

There was no other way. George could only use his strength to prove himself.

However, the reality was cruel.

George, who practiced hard every day, did not improve his strength.

Overwhelmed with lethargy, George chose to ignore those who practiced hard.

At this moment, a voice kept shouting.

"George, George!"

Nevertheless, George did not seem to be bothered by that. His left foot rested on his right foot.

"Huh?"

Aphra was looking for George everywhere. She didn't want to think about it either. It was mainly about some matters of the academy.

"The Magic Test is in three months!"

George immediately perked up.

"The Magic Test?"

"Yes, those who don't meet the standard will be kicked out of the academy, and those who slack off will see what you can do then."

The person did not know that George had just finished his training and had just stopped for a while.

"Got it."

"There will be professionals coming to investigate."

Left with no choice, they could only continue to practice.

If the test did not meet the standard, they might really be kicked out of the Magic Academy.

This was not held by the Magic Academy, but it was an order issued by the Sunset Empire.

There were not many students in the North Magic Academy, so why would he want to kick them out?

If he still failed the test and was expelled by the academy, then George really had nowhere else to go.

Therefore, he made good use of his time, trying not to waste every second, although the current practice was not of much use to him.

What if his strength increased one day?

After that, George's spiritual power controlled the nearby objects. The environment's influence on the magic elements caused the nearby objects to turn into fireballs.

After all, he was already a magic apprentice, so it was not surprising that he had these abilities. It would be surprising if he could not use these methods.

As the sky gradually darkened, George became very tired.

He prepared to sleep in the dormitory.

As soon as George walked into the dormitory, he found that his roommates were all discussing the magic test in three months.

Despite his intention of joining the conversation, he found that he could not fit in at all.

George could only give up and prepare to wash up and sleep.

In less than 30 seconds, he was overcome by drowsiness.

George seemed to have had a dream, in which he could hear a voice.

Although his consciousness was very clear, he could not identify the source of the voice.

"Ding! Congratulations on the tremendous evolution!"
