What is it like to be a teacher as a magister?

Chapter 115 Magical Apprentice
Henry's name was given by himself.

When all students enter the school, they will only be assigned a student number. After they have basic literacy skills, the first test given to them by the teacher is to choose a decent name for themselves.

Henry is doing well in all aspects of his studies.

The only regret is that I was not able to enter the magic apprentice class at the beginning, but was assigned to the craftsman apprentice class.

This is not entirely his fault. Before entering school, what he did every day was to help his mother to work in the fields and prepare the meals before his father came home.When Teacher Ai Li was giving a lecture, he was completely focused on the food that the school had fed him at noon, and he didn't listen to a word at all, which led to a blank face in the subsequent tests.

In addition to mathematics and writing, the study direction arranged for him by the school is blacksmith apprenticeship—at least he thinks so.

Because my father was a blacksmith.

But now that I have been in school for a year, although I have learned a lot of practical knowledge, I will definitely be able to do more things than my father when I enter the alchemy workshop in the future, but I always feel a regret in my heart.

If I had listened carefully to Teacher Ellie's first few lessons, maybe I am also a magic apprentice now.

What Henry envied most were the students in the school who wore uniform gray robes.

They often hold their textbooks and get together to discuss things that others don't understand, such as magic pattern framework, calculation module, surface domain... many words Henry has never heard.

There are 2800 students in the school, and there are 300 magic apprentices. Among the people who are one level higher than them, some have been able to enter the magic research room to help Mr. Wald do experiments. The gap between people is that big.

"Henry, let's go to dinner."

While walking out of the classroom, his classmate Heite called him to the cafeteria as usual.

This guy is the son of the carpenter's family next door. He eats so much that Miss Jennifer, who manages the school, feels a headache.

School is over at five o'clock in the afternoon.

The school is still in charge of meals as it was when I first came in a year ago, and the food now is obviously better than before, and there is a small piece of white bread in the brown bread.

It was white bread, and I had never seen it before.

I heard from my mother that before the lord came to the fortress, the land around Twilight City could not grow wheat, only some local rough rye was planted.I didn't think of that kind of bread made of rye before, but now I really don't want to eat it for the rest of my life.

It’s also black bread, the ones distributed by the school are obviously much tastier than the ones made at home.
My mother said that the bread in her family was made from last year's leftover rye, and a lot of sawdust was mixed in before, otherwise I would be hungry before the night.

"I won't go, my dad will come home early today, and we will have dinner together." Henry remembered his mother's instructions.

Their family is not bad for the school meal.

But if there is nothing special, he will still stay at school for dinner. On the one hand, the food in the cafeteria is delicious, and on the other hand, he wants to go to extra-curricular classes at night.

"I really envy you. My dad is in the logging team outside the city, and he will come home very late." Heite said with a little regret.

"The logging team is also very good. There will be additional subsidies. Have you seen the copper plant?"

"Of course, my dad sends out two hundred every month."

"So is my dad."

The content of the chat between the thirteen and fourteen-year-olds was very boring. Before leaving, Height said again: "Did you see the school announcement? There will be an extra exam next month, and those who pass can enter the magic apprenticeship class. "

"Where's the announcement?"

"Our school has only one bulletin board..."

Before Hayt finished talking, Henry had already rushed out.

"This guy... has never been so active in eating."

Henry ran to the school bulletin board, stopped panting, looked up and read:

"Notice of adjusting school time..."

"Success to all teachers and students..."

"About the unified measurement of school uniforms..."

"Today's Recipe..."

"..."

"Have it!"

Henry quickly found what he wanted to see.

"Magic Apprentice Class Continuing Enrollment Notice"

After reading each word carefully, he was overjoyed.

The content of the notice is very simple: there will be a school-wide test next month, and those who pass, no matter what class they are studying in, can directly enter the elementary class of magic apprentices.

Half a year ago, the school added a Magic Apprentice Interest Class at night. Anyone can come and listen, but it is not compulsory.

On the one hand, in order to make up for previous regrets, Henry followed the lectures almost every time.

The basics of elements and magic sound difficult at first, but once the mind enters, it will be very interesting.There is a sudden sense of "this world is like this".

It's a pity that the time for extracurricular classes is limited, and there are not many things taught, and Henry has always only listened as a hobby.

Unexpectedly, the school suddenly issued such a notice.

Henry came home late because he had been feeling emotionally in front of the bulletin board for a long time.

The thatched huts that used to have to bend over to get in and out have now been replaced by tall and neat wooden huts. Although the place has not become bigger, it is much cleaner and brighter overall.

Evening Winter City is repairing the houses of the residents door to door, but due to insufficient manpower, the progress is very slow, and now it is only going to a corner of the northwest city, and Henry's family has not yet arrived.

Fortunately, my father is a blacksmith, and he has some skills. According to the government affairs department, if you want to repair the house in advance, you can do it yourself after receiving the materials. If you fail, the construction team will repair it again at the end.

My father's craftsmanship is very good, but there is still a big gap between the wooden house and the construction team.

The members of the construction team wearing uniform uniforms have a clear division of labor and skillful cooperation, and the houses they build are fast and beautiful.

When I entered the house, my father had already returned home and was sitting on the bench by the door changing shoes, while my mother was preparing dinner by the fire.

Father and son sat at the dining table.

"Dad, I want to tell you something."

After talking about the school, Henry nervously watched his father's reaction.

Raff was very clear about his son's ambitions, but he was still puzzled after hearing this: "Can anyone become a magic apprentice?"

He thought of the young men in gray robes in the alchemy workshop. They didn't need to do the work themselves. They usually just sat at the table to write and draw, looking very relaxed.

"That's what the teacher said." Henry seriously explained: "Magicians need to be awakened, but magic apprentices don't. There is not much difference in other aspects except that they cannot cast magic. The teacher also said...there are too few magicians to Counting on them, Xia Ya can only rely on magic apprentices for her change..."

"Xia Ya..." For a person like Raff who has never left Winter City in his life, the name Xia Ya has always had little to do with him, but since entering the alchemy workshop, whether it is the manager or those in gray The magic apprentice in the robe, the two words that come out of his mouth the most are - lord, Xia Ya.

The place they are in is called Xia Ya, and Twilight City is only a part of Xia Ya.

Xia Ya... I didn't think much of it before, but now that I'm used to it, I feel an inexplicable sense of pride.

"In that case, you decide for yourself."

"Come on, bitter thistle is in today's soup..." Mother Leah came over with an earthen pot.
