Chapter 670: Magical Weak Chicken ...... I mean the magic apprentice
Limited by the constraints of words and words, there are many people who have the same name and surname, unless they come up with a strange name that no one chooses.
- For example, Ann Yizhi.
But in the same copy world, and they were all graduates of the Academy of Magic, the same surname appeared, which is not a coincidence that can be explained.
Cooks, this surname may have been forgotten, John's weak chicken is a member of the Cooks family.
Could it be that this girl in front of you is too?
But it doesn't feel right.
Ann Yizhi remembered that John had said that she was the only one in her family who had never dealt with Billy, and that this girl named Lena, although four or five years younger than John, should be her peers.
Besides, Lena just mentioned that she was from a civilian background, and John's family is a thousand-year-old magic family, the gap between the two is too big, if Lena is really a member of the Cooks family, she should not have to travel outside to find new spells to improve herself after graduation.
Is it really a coincidence?
"Lena. Cooks, if I'm not mistaken, Cooks is supposed to be a wizard. ”
Rather than guessing by yourself, it is better to ask directly.
"I'm a side branch."
Lena continued to eat the creamy soup and bread as if talking about someone else's business:
"My family is just a merchant family, and although I am rich, I can't compare with the main family. As a side branch, we have lost the right to learn spells in the Lord's house. ”
This explanation can make sense, but An Yizhi still can't understand their worldview for a while.
Even if it's a side branch, it's a relative, so it should be okay to ask for it, right? It's not a great thing.
John's weak chicken image is too deep, and An Yizhi subconsciously thinks that the spells collected by the Cooks family are not very remarkable, in fact, she is an authentic and famous lady, and Cooks, as a family that can last for more than a thousand years, how can it be without a few brushes?
The value of knowledge cannot be easily measured, but everyone knows the importance of knowledge.
Spells, as a kind of knowledge, are naturally the secrets of every magic family, and they are also important bargaining chips, they will only take out some of them when they 'win over excellent mages', etc., and the important part is naturally only seen by their own people, not as a side branch.
This is also why many NPCs were so surprised when they learned that Hela had a database of Nikolai, and its importance was even more exaggerated than Ann Yizhi thought, and I have to say that Nikolai was really good to his students.
"Do you know John?"
Lena thought for a moment:
"I once saw it from afar at a family gathering, and according to my generation, it was my cousin, but we didn't know each other."
Cousin......
It seems that this girl's family is also a side branch of the side branch in Cooks, and John has long since stopped dressing as a tomboy and is a woman again. Lena didn't know this, and thought John was a man. It can be seen what status her family has in Cooks.
These two sisters are very symmetrical, one has been raised as a man for more than ten years, and the other is born like a women's clothing boss......
"Speaking of which, Cousin John should have graduated from the same generation as you, I hope you can give me more help for his sake."
An Yizhi just asked casually, she really knows how to hit snakes with sticks.
"Let's talk about the information in the class first, it's useless to me in terms of human feelings."
If John himself were here, Ann Yizhi might use dim sum, but only as a distant relative?
Hehe.
Lena didn't pay much attention to this either, and she knew it was unlikely.
"What kind of information do you want to know?"
"Combat effectiveness and interpersonal relationships, especially in terms of combat effectiveness."
Strangely looking at An Yizhi, Lena seemed to notice something, but she didn't say it explicitly, but answered An Yizhi's question:
"The vast majority of people only have some of the standard spells taught in the course, and the academy doesn't open the library to all students, so our spells are low-level."
To put it bluntly, most of these students only have some simple F~E level spells, such as magic missiles.
"Some students who are pleasing to the teacher may be better, but overall the difference in combat effectiveness is not very big."
It is not easy to become a mage, in addition to the minimum standard of literacy, their learning in the magic academy is more just to learn the basics, such as gestures, simple potions, magic circles, etc., in other words, they are all theoretical knowledge, there are not many spells that are actually applied to battle, and even if there are, they are all very simple and easy to learn.
I think that when the Star Tower was tested, Billy was the best among the graduates, and the highest spell that could be released was only D-level, and it was the end of desperately being able to put a C-level, which was the result of his family backing, and replaced by students who had not yet graduated, according to the classification that players were used to, they were at most about level 10~15.
From here, you can see how perverted John's talent is, she can easily cast C spells when she receives people in the Star Tower, although she is still a weak chicken who can't use attack spells.
However, this is not good news for An Yizhi, because the combat power at hand is too little, if something really happens, it would be good for this group of students to be able to protect themselves, and they cannot be included in the scope of helpers, and the combat effectiveness alone is not as powerful as An Yizhi's own skeleton mage.
In addition, combat experience is also a big problem.
A spell is equivalent to a tool, and this tool will have different effects in the hands of different people, mainly depending on the quality and experience of the user.
This is 'no useless spells, only useless mages'.
And the combat experience of the students......
Shaking his head, An Yizhi felt that it was better not to consider these students in the category of helpers, they might become a laggard.
Not knowing that Ann Yizhi had already ranked them all in the ranks of 'weak chickens', Lena continued:
"In terms of interpersonal relationships, the class is roughly divided into three groups."
She pointed to the group of people next door, who had just come to be 'unspoken'.
"Like me, they are students from civilian backgrounds, and we are more marginalized here, and those who have power behind us are reluctant to make friends with us, because they know that we are likely to die on the way out after graduation."
Then she looked behind Ann Yizhi, where two groups of students were eating their own meals:
"The group of people on the left are students with a certain amount of power behind them, some are organizations, some are families, they have the highest starting point, and many of them have received systematic magical education since childhood. There are other groups of people whose origins are not high, and there may be mages in their parents or relatives in their families, but they are far from being called 'powerful'. ”
The school is a microcosm of society, and this is true, a class of more than 20 people is divided into three classes according to their origins, and they all operate only in their own circles, and all they know about other people is 'his name' and that's it.
"What is the relationship between the various groups?"
"Apathy."
Lena added:
"I don't know if it's the right word to describe it or not, but the only word I can think of is indifference, because here we are all in competition, and between various circles, even if people in the other circle are about to die in front of themselves, I am afraid it will not cause any psychological fluctuations."
Is this indifference a bit excessive?
Lena had obviously experienced something, otherwise she wouldn't have felt so deeply. Although An Yizhi didn't understand it a little, he didn't bother to delve into the reason, he just needed to know that the three groups kept a certain distance from each other and were relatively united internally.
This is good news for him, at least not the type where everyone only cares about themselves, because in the event of an emergency such as an attack, students who are accustomed to huddling together for warmth will spontaneously form an offensive and defensive alliance, which can greatly improve their chances of survival.
"Do you want to hear everyone's information?"
Just now I just gave a general introduction to the situation in the class on one side, and I didn't have too much in-depth understanding.
An pointed to hearing this and nodded.
Perhaps, I should find a chance to practice these weak chickens?
His mind was swirling with not-so-kind thoughts, and Lena on the other side shivered for no apparent reason.

After lunch, Ann took the Tamson Float Disc and the pile of books on it to the main building in the center of the Academy of Magic, where the library was located.
It sounds a little incredible, because Tamsyn has already read all the fingers on the floating disk.
When he first chose those books, Yasuchi always chose names that sounded lofty, as if they recorded the types of spells.
But in fact, these books are not all skill books, and some of the books contain information such as background stories and monster settings.
But even so, this crazy flipping behavior still brought him a lot of magic skills, all of which were from D~B levels, and the types also covered change, plastic energy, enchantment and illusion.
- Although they all have the words 'recycle after leaving the dungeon'.
With the teacher's badge, An Yizhi can borrow 20 books from the library at a time, and these books can't be put into the dimensional pocket, otherwise An Yizhi will definitely buy the dimensional pocket with crazy kryptonite, and maybe even the entire library will be packed and taken away by him.
The librarian is also magical, not a living person, not even a puppet common elsewhere in the Academy, but a talking book......
"I just borrowed it in the morning and came to change it in the afternoon, your grandson won't shake me, right?"
An Yi fingered: "......"
The book in front of him was the librarian, and Hela said that it was supposed to be a person, and the soul was attached to the book, becoming a special magical creature.
Too lazy to talk nonsense with him, An Yi pointed to unload the book from Tamsyn's floating disk, and the latter muttered to check for any damaged or missing parts, which probably wouldn't be a good thing.
Hela picked up books that looked like they might have magical skills, and Ann pulled one out of the nearest shelf, the cover reading 'Superior Techniques for the Use of Magic'.
"Teacher, can I pick a copy?"
Lena had been following Ann for the first time in the library, which was only open to teachers, and very few students had been allowed to borrow books.
"Forget it, little girl"
The book-like administrator said quietly:
"Rather than picking a book, you should find a few more clothes to wear as armor, maybe you can survive a little higher."
It feels like this strange librarian knows something.
