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

Chapter 31
early morning.

Colin got up early, tidied up his clothes, and walked out of the room full of energy.

After breakfast, boarded the carriage driven by Bob, and drove straight to the city.

"Don't you need me to take you to the association?" Bob parked the carriage on the side of the road on the edge of the mage area as instructed.

"I'll just go by myself, thank you Bob."

The teacher's carriage is too ostentatious... Colin added inwardly.

"I wish you a smooth pass, Mr. Wayne." Bob raised his whip and galloped away.

……

Walking along the street for about 10 minutes, turning a 45-degree street corner, Colin came to the center of the mage's district, surrounded by a circular wall.

Looking up, a tall and majestic building stands in front of you, and you can only walk to the door through dozens of steps.

Colin took a deep breath, walked up the steps, and then walked into the hall surrounded by almost transparent glass.

The place is bustling and bustling, and there is no such thing as the eerie and eerie quietness of the Magicians Association as imagined.

On the contrary, it is a bit like a vegetable market.

Ke Lin looked aimlessly for a long time, and when he was thinking about who to ask, he heard someone greet him behind him:
"Hello, how can I help you?"

He turned around and saw a smiling girl, who seemed to be a staff member here, because there were several young people wearing the same clothes as her walking back and forth in the hall, exchanging answers with different people.

Colin didn't answer directly, and reached out his hand to take out a square iron plate with a gold border from his pocket.

The girl just glanced at it, and then said with a more charming smile:

"It turns out to be a distinguished guest, please go this way."

Ke Lin didn't expect the iron plate given by his senior sister to be so easy to use. He put it back in his pocket and followed the girl into the hall.

Walking through two corridors, the crowd decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Until you come to another hall.

It is not as big as the outside, but it is still spacious and bright, and finally has the quiet environment that Colin imagined, but it is not weird and gloomy, on the contrary, it is very peaceful and peaceful.

The girl led him to a corner, where there were corner-shaped animal skin sofas and camphor wood tea tables.

"Wait here, please, I'll call your exclusive waiter... By the way, antler coffee, is it okay?"

"No, thank you."

At this time, Colin already regretted taking out the iron card.

This was given by my senior sister yesterday, and she said it would be much more convenient to bring it.

It is indeed convenient, but he only wanted to come to participate in the assessment in a low-key manner, and if he failed, try to let as few people know as possible-although it is estimated that it is impossible to hide it for a long time.

If I had known that I should have directly explained my purpose outside, someone would have guided me to the right party.

Ke Lin watched the girl go away and exchanged a few words with another "reception lady" at a place similar to the reception desk, and then walked into the corridor leading to the inner room.

I was looking around with nothing to do, and suddenly saw two people, one old and one young, coming from the place I entered just now.

He recognized immediately that the young man was the Kress he had met before.

And the older one, apart from the irregular red silk threads embroidered on the magic robe, the most eye-catching thing is his red beard and sideburns. If it weren't for the soft pointed hat covering most of it, I'm afraid you can see his red hair all over his head.

Colin didn't need to confirm again, he knew that this was the great magician, His Excellency Harris, who was called "Fire and Thunder".

Enemy road is narrow.

The hall is empty, and the other party is coming straight here, probably going to approach the passage in the corner.

Colin was about to pretend to lower his head, but found that Kress' eyes just happened to look over.

Eyes on each other, there is no way to avoid it.

At this time, if you look away again, doesn't it appear that you are afraid of him?
Colin stood up bravely, waited for Kress with doubts, surprises and uneasiness in his eyes to approach, and then took off his hat and said hello:
"Hello, Mr. Kress."

Because he had never met "Fire and Thunder" Harris, Colin pretended not to know him for the time being, as if he just greeted an acquaintance.

Although the two had had friction and almost turned against each other, but in this situation, of course, it is impossible to swear when they meet.

"Hello, Mr. Wayne."

Kress was obviously caught off guard, he had no idea why Colin appeared here.

Harris stopped subconsciously because the disciple greeted people, and then heard Kress introduce:

"This is my teacher, Lord 'Fire and Thunder' Harris."

After listening to it, Colin showed a moderate surprise, and then bowed down very solemnly to salute:
"It's a great honor to meet you, Your Excellency 'Blazing Fire and Thunder', please accept my high respect for Flame."

Because of his unique attainments in fire spells, as well as his straightforward and irritable personality, Harris received the title of "Fire and Thunder" when he became a great magician.

The apex that ordinary magicians can reach is the "advanced magician".

And the further "big magician", in addition to strength requirements, also needs to have special contributions in certain aspects.

Harris, for example, was named a great magician because of his painstaking research and finally restored many fire spells that had been lost in the classical period.

Because the canonization of a great magician must be granted a title, so in classical customs, a great magician is also called a "titled mage" or "titled mage".

When a low-level magician meets a great magician, especially when they meet for the first time, the etiquette will require adding a compliment-style honorific-it will vary according to the field they are good at.

For example, what Colin just said "please accept my high respect for the flame".

If it was replaced by Roman Sagan, it should be changed to an honorific such as "the storm is always with us".

Harris accepted Colin's respect calmly, nodded slightly, and prepared to take Kress to move on. After all, he would encounter this kind of thing several times a day.

But just after taking two steps, he suddenly remembered something and stood still.

Ke Lin originally wanted to avoid disaster, but when he saw the other party stop, he felt a slight tug in his heart.

"Your surname is Wayne?" Harris' rough and slightly hoarse voice came, and he thought about it several times in the empty hall.

"Yes, Your Excellency." Colin answered bravely, praying secretly.

Yet what should come has come.

"Master Roman's new disciple, named Colin Wayne, what does it have to do with you?" Harris asked without much emotion.

Although the other party didn't show any signs of anger or anger, Colin already felt his legs were a little stiff.

When you know that the person opposite you has a conflict with yourself and can easily kill yourself in seconds, even if the other person does not reveal this intention, your instinct will make you nervous.

Offending a great magician at will is really not a wise choice.

Ke Lin subconsciously touched the jade ring hanging on his chest, and then he felt a little more at ease. He tried his best to make his tone gentle and said:

"I am Colin Wayne."
