The most powerful wizard in the magic world

Gerlin stepped on the fallen leaves, his heart full of anticipation and anxiety. Although it had been two years since he last left, every inch of the land there seemed to be calling him back. The smell of the dormitory, the smell of gunpowder in the laboratory, and the ubiquitous magical energy, all of this kept spinning in his mind.

"Gerlin, are you really determined to go back?" The voice of his best friend, Arno, came from behind. He looked at Gerlin with concern, and the sweat on his forehead reflected his inner anxiety.

"This is my only choice." Garlin smiled slightly, trying his best to hide his nervousness. "If I want to become a formal wizard, I must learn more knowledge."

"But you know, going back might lead to unnecessary trouble." Arno followed him slowly, a hint of uneasiness in his tone.

Gerling stopped and turned to look at Arno. His eyes were firm, like the brightest stars in the night sky. "Perhaps, those troubles are the tests I must go through. I can no longer escape."

"Okay, I support you." Arno took a deep breath, as if he was proud of his friend's courage. "But I will be waiting for you here. If you need help, feel free to send me a message."

The two continued to move forward. Although the campus scenery was beautiful, it could not hide the waves in Gerlin's heart. Mancro College was both the starting point of his dream and a painful memory. Two years ago, he lost the qualification to participate in the formal wizard test due to an accident. This experience was deeply engraved in his memory.

Arriving at the gate of the academy, Gerling looked up and saw the academy's logo engraved on the stone lintel - a golden lion, symbolizing courage and strength. The door slowly opened, and whispers and the rustling of pages of magic books came from inside, as if calling him to enter this unknown world.

"Welcome back, Gerlin." The guard at the door was a weather-beaten old lady, her eyes full of kindness and wisdom. "I heard a long time ago that you were coming back, and everyone is waiting for you."

"Thank you, Danielle." Gerling felt a little warmth in his heart. Although this was still the place where his dreams and pain were intertwined, revisiting these memories might help him find his direction.

Entering the academy, Gerling found that not much had changed. The familiar classrooms and corridors still had the atmosphere of the past. He walked to the library with a clear mind, and the strong smell of books and ink hit him. He saw a small table in the corner. The whole library was quiet, with only the sound of turning books and occasional quiet discussions.

"Gerlin!" A crisp voice interrupted his thoughts. It was Eliza, his former classmate. Now she was a teaching assistant, and she still had a sunny smile.

"Eliza, long time no see." Gerlin responded with a smile. Although they met again after a long separation, the tacit understanding between them had not disappeared.

"I heard that you are going to try the wizard exam again?" Eliza's eyes sparkled with excitement. "You know, everyone has always believed that you have the potential."

"I hope I can succeed this time. My previous mistakes made me realize how important it is to accumulate knowledge." Gerling sighed, a hint of heaviness revealed in his words.

"Don't blame yourself, Gerlin." Eliza patted his shoulder gently, her eyes full of understanding. "Everyone has their own pace, just keep working hard."

During the conversation, the door of the library suddenly opened, and some students in black robes walked in, their faces filled with youthful enthusiasm. "What are you talking about?" One of the tall boys asked, with curiosity flashing in his eyes.

"Gerlin is going to take the wizard exam." Eliza said without any reservation, and the young people around her immediately turned around, their eyes revealing admiration.

"Gerlin? The guy who was already so outstanding two years ago?" a tall and thin boy said, with some admiration in his tone. "I heard that you have a strong magical talent!"

"I'm just an ordinary student who studies hard." Gerling smiled slightly, trying to appear humble.

The tall boy stepped forward and shook Gerlin's hand enthusiastically. "I'm Dirk, welcome back to the academy! I hope you can bring us some excellent magic secrets."

As the conversation progressed, Gerling couldn't help but sigh in his heart that his struggle was not alone. Everyone here has their own dreams and pursuits, full of young hope.

"I'll try, Dirk," Garlin responded, his inner passion ignited once again.

Afterwards, he searched for relevant books in a corner of the library, hoping to find some in-depth information about forms and laws. In the world of books, he gradually immersed himself in every memory of the past, and even some vague but precious lessons. His goal is not only to become a formal wizard, but also to improve himself and pursue his inner voice in the process.

"I heard you are interested in The Law of Elements?" Not far away, the boy Dirk came over with a thick book in his hand. "I think this book will be very helpful to you. It talks about the use of elements and their relationship with each other."

"Thank you, Dirk." Gerling took the book and opened the title page. The strong scent of ink and the rigorous layout made him love it. At this moment, he gradually felt confident, as if he had found the direction to move forward again.

"There will be a seminar tonight, the theme is 'The Intimate Relationship between Wizards and Elements'. You must attend." Dirk invited eagerly. "Believe me, there will be many masters coming to give lectures."

Gerling nodded firmly. "I'll try to participate."

In the next few days, Gerlin immersed himself in the ocean of knowledge every day and began his own magic research. He understood that only by laying a solid foundation could he go further on the road of wizards. In the library, discussing magic theory with Eliza and listening to Dirk share his understanding of the elements, Gerlin gradually integrated into this familiar yet strange environment.
