6 Pathfinder Part 1 (1/2)
It's not impossible for a qualified combat magician to be a magic engineer instead, but it couldn't be said the same thing otherwise. Magic engineers was normally being chosen by magicians with lower mana affinity after all.
Although magicians with lower mana affinity can be in combat, they would normally failed to be a licensed combat magician.
”I'm not quite sure as well, but I heard it on passing.”
”I see, but our academy doesn't have the best quality of equipment in artifact forging, if she really plans to build foundation in magic engineering, I believe their family can afford her to study at Sacred Peak Academy.”
It was two cities away but that should be minor concern. Wallace added it on his thought.
It was not bizarre for 2nd year student to change its course. Academies permit this changes as they let the magician decide their career.
It may also be the reason why during the first year in the academy, they were being taught of general knowledge for both course with only few discrepancies. In the first year, both combat class and artifact forging class were being taught on its foundation and completing practical classes.
Combat magicians was required to at least have general knowledge of artifact forging as that would prove helpful in the long run as a magician. There was even a saying that a good combat mage would be a good magic engineer. It can be true in some part, as they were mostly the user of complex magic structure. Unfortunately, studying both will only hinder you reaching the peak of your ability. Magic engineering consumes a lot of time to completely grasp and sometimes can be boring to others. So those combat magicians who has a chance to be licensed would quickly seize the opportunity.
Both of them were not aware of the reason why Sherly will transfer on different course. But since she's popular, there would definitely be more news later on.
Everyone in the classroom was chatting happily as they talked about their recent vacation. Exactly at 8AM, a stocky middle aged man wearing an instructors uniform entered and everyone was confused as this guy wasn't one they're expecting.
”Miss Tales won't be able guide you this semester so I'm here to guide you temporarily while she's out. For those who doesn't know me. I'm Garen, a new instructor here. I mainly teaches complex magic structuring. Supposedly, I'll only teach 3rd years. Sigh... On your first semester, you already learned and completed multiple artifact forging task, but your 4th gen artifact was made by group. This semester we will have to focus on practical exams and this time you'll try to create 5th gen artifact alone.”
”Eh? Sir, did i misheard you saying we'll create 5th gen artifact and we'll do it alone?”
”What happened to Ms. Tales?”
They don't even have time to lament about Miss Tales story of leaving them when he mentioned something ridiculous. Though some concerned student asked after they remember.
”I just did. About Ms. Tales, she has some family concerns, I'm not quite sure as well but you can ask the dean”
Instructor Garen answered with a grin on his face. As if they could meet the elusive dean.
Everyone thought that they misheard him about creating the 5th gen artifact. He just said himself that we created 4th gen by group of students. It was six people in a group so a total of 5 groups created five 4th gen artifact. Now you want us to complete a 5th gen alone? They could not believe it. Although they already learned the theory, without enough practice it will be diffcult for them. Especially now that they created a 4th gen, they know how difficult it can be.
Majority of his classmates was dumbfounded when they heard it. If he hadn't consumed 3 memory crystal prior to this, he would be raising a fuss as well. Wallace noticed some of his classmates are uninterested even after Intructor Garen declared his intention. He thought for a bit and realized that this seven students has prominent backgrounds.
