《Breeding Dragons From Today》Chapter 10: Successfully enrolled
Advertisement
Everyone was stunned.
The golden-bearded man's attitude towards Joelson and Sherwood was completely different. Compared to the eliminated examinees, it made these people's hearts ache.
"Congratulations, Joelson Edward."
He specifically called Joelson by his full name. This was a form of respect.
"I look forward to the day when you make the Tulip Academy feel honored!"
What high praise and honor!
Countless people thought of ways to get into the highest magic academy, no matter how much money they spent, to honor one person.
How terrifying was Joelson's talent!
To be able to make a short-bearded man say such words!
Hearing such praise, even a fool could tell how high Joelson's talent was.
Sherwood, who had medium talent, could at least reach the strength of a second-tier mage.
Then, what level could a super talent reach?
A fifth rank sorcerer?
An eighth rank sorcerer?
Or even... a saint?!
No one knew.
They only knew that Joelson's future was bright.
Compared to Joelson, Sherwood, who was originally quite outstanding, suddenly became unnoticed.
Like a firefly under a full moon, he was ignored.
Only the short-bearded man knew what Joelson's talent represented.
The pillar of the empire, the great mage, Dean Harriet Terrence, was talented in both spiritual power and magic perception.
Although in the field of magic, talent did not mean everything, and it had a lot to do with future opportunities and hard work.
But who could say that the sixteen-year-old boy in front of him could not become a second Harriet Terrence?
In the previous year's entrance exam, he had recruited a student with superior talent. At that time, this student had already caused a sensation in the academy and even in the entire capital.
And now, there was another genius with superior talent.
The short-bearded man almost could not help but exclaim in admiration. This was simply the God of Magic revealing his great miracle.

Moreover, he knew that the talent of Joelson was definitely not as simple as being super-grade.
In the mainland, the division of magic talent was always based on a rather vague concept.
As both were super-grade talents, there were strong and weak.
The brightness that Joelson made the crystal ball emit was the first time in his life that he had seen it!
"God of Magic, what did I see?!"
"The crystal ball was about to explode!"
It was unbelievable!
Gasps of surprise rang out from the crowd one after another.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Joelson, which contained surprise, shock, and jealousy...
"I am the butler of Duke Cyril's mansion..."
"I am the butler of Duke Alva's mansion..."
The butler and servants who were squatting in the small square to recruit elite talents for their master rushed to Joelson anxiously, as if they were worried that if they were one step slower than others, Joelrson would be recruited by others.
They had witnessed the birth of a top genius.
It was imaginable that when the news spread, the entire capital would remember a name, Joelson Edward.
Sherwood looked at Joelson in a daze.
His mouth was wide enough to fit two eggs.
This young man, who looked about his age, was much more powerful than him!
He had tried his best to barely light up the water ball, but he had almost made the crystal ball explode!
And from his expression, he seemed to be so relaxed.
Sherwood felt a sense of loss.
He suddenly realized that family background and birth could be overcome, but some things were indeed born.
"Please follow me."
The short-bearded man did not give these people any chance to extend an olive branch. He gave a gentle and polite smile to Joelson and led him out of the crowd.

He did not care about the following tests.
Joelson followed behind the short-bearded man. In fact, he was a little surprised himself.
Wasn't his talent medium?
How could he become a double super grade!
"Every time the rancher owns a dragon, he can obtain the corresponding magic ability of that dragon."
After asking the system, Joelson finally understood.
Just as he guessed, the increase in talent should be due to the contract between him and Du Lu.
It was equivalent to sharing Du Lu's talent.
The dragon race was recognized as a Master of Magic.
When a giant dragon reached adulthood, it would have at least the magic attainments of a ninth rank magic tutor.
Among them, the most outstanding one could even reach the saint rank.
Dragon magic was not that simple.
Joelson was finally qualified to enter the Magic Academy.
The academy was much more beautiful than he had imagined.
The spacious and tidy academy avenue was filled with tall champs trees on both sides. Red, purple, and blue tulips were everywhere.
It gave people a comfortable and cosy feeling.
"The new students are all in the first grade, but you are an exception. You will be arranged to be in the best class in the second grade."
"After entering the academy, you must live in the academy. The academy has arranged a place for everyone. You can bring servants with you. You will have a chance to go out once a week."
"The students must abide by the academy's rules. If they violate the rules, the corresponding credits will be deducted. If the credits are deducted to a certain value, they will be expelled from the academy. These are all explained in detail in the admission manual that will be issued soon."
The short-bearded man introduced many rules and knowledge of the Magic Academy to Joelson.
Joelson had a wonderful feeling as if he had come to a university in his previous life.
"This is yours. It is a standard mage robe and a student badge. The robe is attached with a small dust removal spell. The colors of the mage robes are different for the different grades."
The short-bearded man handed a folded dark blue mage robe to Joelson. There was a beautiful silver badge in the robe.
"Use the badge to report tomorrow. There will be a special person to bring you to familiarize yourself with everything here."
"I have a question."
Joelson looked at the robe in his hand. He thought for a moment and said, "How much is the academy's annual tuition?"
The short-bearded man was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "All the fees of the students will be paid for by the empire. You don't need to spend a copper coin. Of course, if you conduct personal magic research, you still need to spend your own money to buy the magic materials used."
Joelson nodded thoughtfully.
No wonder it was called The Imperial Magic Academy. This was another version of The National University in the other world.
It could also be considered as a means for Diyin to recruit civilian mages.
"Any other questions?"
Joelson looked at the short-bearded man and asked, "Last question, what is your name?"
The short-bearded man laughed happily. "Brewster Aubrey, you can directly call me Brewster."
"Then that's all for now."
The short-bearded man solemnly performed the standard etiquette of a magician to Joelson and said seriously, "Once again, on behalf of the Tulip Academy of Magic, I would like to extend a welcome to you, Mr Joelson Edward."

Ars Magica
Our vision comes back into focus. Our eyes, while being able to perceive the immediate surroundings, still leave us with our minds uncomprehending towards what is actually occurring. Sure, there are definitive things that we can focus on, like the fact that we're either out upon the open sea or the open ocean, there not being much of a difference with no land in sight, as well as the fact that we appear to be upon a haphazardly constructed metal boat, whose seams are barely able to keep a hold of themselves in the crashing waves. However, that does not let us understand what exactly is causing the waves in the first place. If we were to rewind time, we'd find ourselves upon a calm sea under a peaceful sky with the only difference, being a small whirlpool that would be the precursor towards this uproar around the boat. Lightning flashes in the sky, with no clouds being near, and anyone actually manning the boat has either died towards the cause of the smashing tides in the first place, or are fighting amongst the flashes of lightning, all while trying not to become devoured, demolished, and utterly decimated by the beast roiling in the whirling waves. To better understand exactly what is happening here, there is one singular event that needs to be understood, that needs to be explained, and that is the arrival of a creature named Dave. Stepping back from current events and going towards this creature's first appearance in the world, we begin to hear the sound of water slowly dripping across rocky ground. The cavern is utterly silent except for this one constant, its cause feeding channels downwards, sloping towards cracks in the rubble along the floor from broken stalagmites and stalactites. And there, lying on top of something which had fallen over recently, judging from its cracks, is a person, the creature named Dave. His form is fast asleep, either from the impact or from an intoxication, judging from the smell upon its breath. A bright light suffuses into it for a second, giving life towards the pale skin, before it slowly dies down back to the comfortable black of the cave that it's within. Before this moment in time, Dave did not exist in the physical world. At least, not in the reality that he finds himself born into. We do not know whether or not his existence is simply a cosmic joke, or something that is being played out on purpose. All that we do know, is that one moment, the body was not in the cave, and simply formed in the next. The actual earliest time that we know Dave exists, is the interpolation of the memories of J-209, which we'll begin looking into shortly to gain context towards the coming narrative that is being written and hastily trying to keep itself written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: This story has several things which might turn its readers away. The first is that this story has shifting points of perspective. Don't worry about that previous sentence too much though, as the main character will always have a first person perspective associated with them. However, any other character from which we're viewing the story from will either be in third-person, as we are not necessarily in their shoes at the moment, or in first person, given that the narrator is an actual physical presence within the story. For the most part, chapters will be self-contained with their perspectives, so there will not be an abundance of switching perspectives within the same chapter. The most that an average reader would have to worry about is the fact that perspectives can switch between chapters. The second thing is that the main character is a bit on the 'special' side of things. He's not exactly mentally there most of the time, so there will be some times that his personality or his thoughts do not actively align with his actions. The third, and final thing of importance, is the fact that past the first couple of chapters, nothing has been planned in advance. There are arcs and plots that I want to do, want to implement, or have already been set into motion from our main character's introduction to the world, but the method that I use for my story writing and generating leads towards a bit more random chance being enabled. Basically...there's a lot of dice rolling behind the scenes. To not complicate the story further than its regular LitRPG elements, the rolls will not be publicly available. However, there will be knowledge within the author's notes on whether or not there were positive or negative critical rolls that had occurred within the chapter. You have been warned. Updates: Mondays & Fridays (Schedule permitting) Typical Chapter Length: (2,000-3,000)
