-+Chapter Two Blue Eyes Like The Sea, Genius!
Among the many combat professions on Luska Radiance Continent, magisters were the strongest and n.o.blest.
They possessed the nimble movement of swordsmen, and had the help of high level magus beasts. The magister level was a.s.sessed based on a rough estimate of the amount of magic inside the body used to activate magus bases. From weakest to strongest, the ranks were magister, senior magister, spirit magister, sky magister, and magus scholar. Each level was usually divided by sword levels. Each rank was divided into nine swords.
Because silver sword patterns would form whenever a magister summoned a magus beast, silver swords had always been used as the symbol of magisters. There was a large sign hanging from the gates of the Magister Union’s big building. On there were nine little swords of various kinds that formed a fan shape.
Magister, senior magister, and spirit magister were earth-ranks, and sky magisters were called sky-rank experts, the strongest on the continent. Usually, it was hard to even see one in a small place like Qin City once a decade. As to magus scholar, they were almost extinct. A person like Jun Luoyu had already transcended the continent. Aofeng’s luck was good to encounter a few just after arriving at Luska Continent.
Additionally, among the other professions, swordsmen also had their own union and a.s.sessments. Those were based on the amount of battle energy inside the body. The ranks were swordsman, senior swordsman, sacred swordsman, sword master, and sword scholar. Each rank was divided into nine stars, and corresponded to the ranks of magisters. Usually, the combat abilities of a swordsman would be weaker than those of magisters unless the person was an true expert above sword master level. The legendary sword scholars were equivalent to magus scholars.
“So this is the Seventh Young Master of the Qin Family, such a brave child.” Just as Aofeng finished speaking, she heard a soft laugh that seemed like heavenly song come from her right side. It rang out among the noisy discussion, and gave people a cool and refres.h.i.+ng feeling as though listening to him talk was a great pleasure.
Hearing the voice, she knew that this person was not ordinary. Aofeng couldn’t help but look over in surprise.
In the large hall, the ground was tiled with smooth granite. Rainbow crystal lamps hung from the ceiling. It was not crowded even though hundreds of people were standing inside. males and females that sat sternly on a row exquisitely carved sandalwood chairs near Aofeng’s right. Only the rightmost person was an exception.
A long sky-blue robe. The long robe had simple yet traditional patterns embroidered with silver thread. The male looked about twenty-seven or so, his thin lips curved up into a smile. His blue eyes were like a vast sea. His hair reached his shoulders. The lines of his face were gentle, and he was so good to look at he was unforgettable.
While they were of the same kind of gentle people, Jun Luoyu’s innate n.o.bility was more obvious, while this man was like an ocean, as clear and gentle as water, mature and refined.
Everyone liked beauty. Aofeng couldn’t help but admire him inside. It was not rare for people to have colored eyes. But such a heart-shaking and bright color had never appeared in Aofeng’s memories.
Those people were not sitting far from the gates and had seen the drama outside the gates. The one who spoke was the blue-eyed beautiful male with a smile on his face.
“They are all teachers from the major magister schools in the Kaya Empire that have come to recruit students.” The middle-aged man that was responsible for the examination smiled slightly and alleviated Aofeng’s puzzlement. “The Qin Family is among the four great magister families, and every year, many people will come here to recruit students. After the Qin Family’s annual examination at the Magister Union, the big schools will choose students with potential for further study. Most of those that have studied at a school can reach senior magister level, and have a bright future.”
As the middle-aged man spoke, many of the Qin Family members that came to attend the examinations showed expressions of yearning.
Senior magister! People with status and power. Many people were unable to cross the level of nine-sword magister to become a senior magister in their lifetime. People died, hopeless, at this threshold. However, the great majority of people that entered a school could reach this goal. This was why people wanted to get in.
Aofeng nodded minutely. Her gaze lingered on the blue-eyed beautiful male before she turned away her gaze with her usual expression. She didn’t look again in that direction.
She was cold in personality, but in the eyes of the teachers that had come to recruit students, they felt uncomfortable.
These people were used to being in high status and respected by others. In other to enter a school, which of the young people did not sincerely and fearfully curry favor with them? Many people felt they had lost face being dismissed by such a person that had once been a famed ”good-for-nothing.”
“Hmph, what bravery, I think it is arrogance! Vicious and ignorant of the rules, no matter how talented the student is, we will not accept any of this kind.” A forty-something year old man with a stiff face said coldly.
Everyone looked at the wooden sign beside him carved with the name of the school. They couldn’t help but shake their heads. No wonder this person was so confidence in his tone. So he came from the south’s famed Wissen School.
“Friend from the Wissen School, your words are incorrect. It was those people making trouble for the child to being with. While his moves were overly aggressive, the wrong is not with him.” The heavenly voice sounded again. The blue-eyed beautiful male smiled slightly at Aofeng. “I feel that the bravery is admirable and he is not a normal person. If he really is a magister, even if he’s a one sword magister, the doors to our school will open for her.”
Aofeng couldn’t help but look over in that direction after the speech. She couldn’t help but have a thread of good feeling about this blue-eyed beautiful male.
“Diguo School?” The teacher from Wissen hadn’t through that anyone would argue against him. After being criticized, his expression became ugly. He glanced at the sign in front of the man and then looked at Aofeng. He said with mockery, “A school from a little place, I haven’t even heard the name before. You even want a one sword magister, you probably can only accept trash like him that we don’t want.”
