Chapter 167: Draft (Ⅶ) (for subscription)

"Oiomúré!"
Edward read the spell to start the spell aloud, and there was a violent magic wave around him. A thick fog emerged out of thin air, spreading around the place where he stood, and filled the empty space in the center of the playground in an instant. .
Joan saw the thick fog spread towards his side and couldn't help but take two steps back while remembering the mantra that Edward had just recited.
The word "Oiomúré" means "fog" in Elven language, which shows that most of Edward's spells are "hidden fog", which is the lowest level of all spells that change the weather and environment. The foundation of the spells that spread clouds, rain, and fog.
The spells to change the weather are very difficult. Edward can skillfully display it, and it is worth applauding him, but Joan is even more puzzled that Edward Mingming has used up the four spell slots today. How can he still perform "hidden fog" ?
"Edward's guy used'mana regeneration pearl'." Thomas answered Joan's doubts in a timely manner. "Mana regeneration pearl is a very special type of magic guide, divided into nine levels, corresponding to 1 to 9 ring spells, every day. It can restore the holder to a corresponding spell position. Edward has a 1st-level mana regeneration pearl. He just extracted the magic from the pearl and restored a 1st-level spell position, so he has the ability to cast "hidden fog"."
"This is no wonder." Joan suddenly realized.
"Actually, I still have two very rare spells that I haven't demonstrated. I also have'mana regeneration pearls', but there is no need to compete with Edward. This person is very careful. If you win him once, he will be regarded as a competitor and will be targeted everywhere. You must win back before giving up. Anyway, our results are all in the top three. It is enough to ensure that we are not selected by the'old owl', and we will not be competing for the first place with Edward."
Thomas put his right hand in his trousers pocket, tilted his head, and unconsciously shake his left leg, trying to pretend to be "cloudy and light" and "disdainful". However, Joan is not hard to see his true state of mind: for Edward Gates, he is still a little bit unconvinced.
Edward Gates was not in vain, and won the unanimous approval of the twelve mentors through the perfect demonstration of the "hidden fog technique", which was very difficult.
In this way, Edward's average score overtakes Joan to regain the No. 1 ranking, Thomas is ranked third behind Joan, and the rest of the students' scores are far from the top three, and they are not in the same grade at all.
During the next ten-minute break, the tutors whispered in a circle, and some of the inconvenient behind-the-scenes transactions on the counter were completed in just ten minutes.
Sometimes, such private transactions can also bring unpleasant results. For example, at this moment, there was an extremely fierce dispute between "Old Owl" Walter Lee and "Father of Scarecrow" Robert Rawls, attracting colleagues and even students to watch.
The two masters realized that they could not tear their faces openly on this occasion, so they stopped talking and pretended to be as usual.
The tense atmosphere continued until the last link of the "draft conference".
The first ranked Master Rolls took the lead and read three names aloud. The result is not surprising. The top three talented teenagers in this interview-Edward Gates, Joan Vida and Thomas Chap-all were taken in by the "father of scarecrows".
When Joan heard Master Rolls pronounce his name, the stone that had been hanging for a long time finally fell to the ground. As far as his grades are concerned, he has reason to think that becoming a disciple of Master Rawls is a normal result, but he soon realizes that things are not that simple.
When Master Rolls made his choice, the other tutors all gave courteous applause. Congratulations to Master Rolls for recruiting three talented apprentices. Only Walter Lee's face was gloomy and he was obviously sulking.
Joan vaguely felt that the "old owl" was in a bad mood, but he didn't understand how this matter related to Master Rawls.
Even if Master Rawls does not choose to leave, there are still three mentors in the draft right before Walter Lee, it is impossible to skip all of his second-ranked top students without choosing, and leave him to Walter. Li?
Even if the "old owl" really has such a big face, it seems that there is no need to owe the big favor of the four tutors to a student.
Joan thought harder and harder, so he pulled Thomas into a secluded corner and asked him in a low voice what was going on.
"In fact, this matter is not as complicated as you think. Walter Lee does not need to greet the four mentors before him, as long as he reaches a deal with Master Rawls alone."
"What deal?" Joan asked curiously.
"Master Rolls first selected you, and then transferred you to Walter Lee, for a student with a lower grade. In addition, Walter Lee also gave Master Rolls some compensation, as for monetary compensation or other benefits. , That’s not something outsiders can know.
Thomas shrugged.
Joan heard a chill in his heart: "Treat students as goods...does this work?"
"What's wrong? What do you think we are? It's an "apprentice" that's awkward. Look at the apprentices enrolled by the masters in the major guilds in the city. You have to sign a seven-year contract of sale as soon as you enter. Seriously, Is it necessary to learn a craft for at least seven years? Even if an apprentice takes only one year to learn the master’s craft, he will not be able to work hard for the master for the next six years. During this period, he cannot get a copper plate. Salary, even if the master is willing to provide room and board, the apprentice is like a servant. Not only should he help the master for free, the master’s home laundry, cooking, chopping wood, burning fire, pouring the toilet and other chores also have to do the hard work. The apprentice sent to work with a colleague, nominally sending the apprentices to study, learn from the strengths of the house, can it be rejected as an apprentice?"
This series of sharp rhetorical questions by Thomas made Joan speechless. The heart that I just let go is mentioned again: It turns out that being selected by Master Rawls does not mean that you can sit back and relax, and you may be "sold" by hand to Walter Lee. This taste of being unable to control his own destiny made him feel bitter and unspeakable.
"Relax, Master Rolls should not give you to the "old owl", otherwise he does not need to quarrel with the old guy." Thomas comforted him with a smile, "Master Rolls is not only the most outstanding of Leiden Academy One of the mentors, the character is also impeccable, unlike the kind of people like Walter Lee, who never engages in the dirty business of dealing with students."
