My Endless Life

The English Magic Academy is located in the southern area of ​​Lankana, the capital of England.

Its area occupies almost one-third of the entire southern area. It is the largest building complex in Lankana, except for the royal palace.

The academy is divided into four major departments, which are classified and named according to the colors of gems.

The four major departments are the 'Ruby Department', which mainly studies combat magic and related skills.

The 'Blue Crystal Department', which studies auxiliary magic and healing magic.

The 'Yellow Agate Department', which makes magic props and studies magic alchemy.

And the 'Green Emerald Department', which studies magic theory and creates magic.

The four gem colors represent four different schools of magicians, and the 'mentor' chosen by Li Qi at this moment is the magic professor of the 'Yellow Department'.

His name is Derian Flores, and he is the dean of the Yellow Department.

The enrollment system of England is very interesting. In addition to the normal annual assessment of teenagers, there is also a 'special recruitment system'.

Each professor in the academy has a special quota every year, with a maximum of three quotas accumulated. People can enter the academy directly without taking exams, taking talent tests, or even paying tuition.

Normally, this quota is used for children of nobles, or civilians who have talent but cannot afford to enroll.

But by chance, Amy has a special quota.

The one who gave her this quota was Dean Derian of the Huang Academy.

And now this quota is in Li Qi's hands, and because of this, he was personally taken into the academy by Derian's students.

"Teacher usually works in his alchemy room and rarely sees people. Today, I heard that someone came in with a special quota, so I want to see you in person."

The senior brother with brown natural curls explained to Li Qi when he entered the Huang Academy.

The senior brother's attitude was very good. Perhaps because there are very few disciples who can become the dean, he is very enthusiastic about Li Qi, a little junior brother.

It was during this period that Li Qi learned that ordinary students are basically not qualified to become the dean's disciples.

Most of the students don't have their own teachers. They are just like normal students, with a dozen people in a class and a class teacher.

People like Li Qi who become the dean or a professor's disciples are either extremely talented or have a backdoor.

Li Qi's senior brother, the naturally curly young man named Joe Lar, seems to believe that his teacher will not let anyone take a backdoor, so he is very enthusiastic about Li Qi.

He thought that Li Qi was chosen by the teacher because of his high talent.

Li Qi did not explain, and talked to Joe with a shy smile on his face.

The two of them talked and listened, and it didn't take long for them to arrive at Derian's alchemy room.

Bang, bang, bang.

Joe quickly knocked on Derian's alchemy room, and Li Qi waited beside him. After a long time, there was no movement.

He looked at Qiao in surprise, but found that Qiao's expression was somewhat helpless:

"The teacher is probably immersed in his own world again..."

He said, took out a key from his pocket, and said to Li Qi:

"When you become the teacher's student in the future, remember to ask him for a spare key. If you come to find the teacher and there is no response when you knock on the door, just use the spare key to go in and find him."

"Is it okay?"

"It's okay, because the door can be opened with the spare key, which proves that the teacher's research is not important. On the contrary, if the door cannot be opened with the spare key, it proves that the teacher's research is at a critical moment. Don't disturb him at this time."

"I see, I've learned."

Li Qi nodded slightly, but there was a complaint in his heart that he didn't say.

He really wanted to know, if the dean died in his alchemy room and the spare key couldn't open the door, what would he do?

Just because this question was too rude, Li Qi wisely didn't ask.

Qiao inserted the spare key into the door lock and turned it gently. With a click, the door opened. This meant that what their teacher was studying was not important.

Li Qi also saw Qiao breathe a sigh of relief, so he pushed the door open and said directly to the man with his back to them:

"Teacher, I have brought the new student here, the one who used the special recruitment quota."

"Oh..."

The white-haired old man with his back to the two of them responded softly, but did not turn around.

Li Qi took the opportunity to look at the furnishings in the entire alchemy room.

Messy.

Very messy.

This was his first impression of this place.

In the small room, there were wooden tables of different sizes, and the wooden tables were filled with all kinds of things that he couldn't understand.

Li Qi also saw some gears that were very different from the style here, as well as parts of guns.

There was a closet hanging on the wall, and in the closet were bottles and jars that Li Qi couldn't understand. Near the corner of the room, there was a display shelf, on which were placed a planetarium, specimens of animals and plants, and a strange beast skull.

All in all, the overall style here is more in line with Li Qi's impression of a 'wizard'.

Mysterious, strange, and... incomprehensible.

After taking a general look at the environment here, the old man with his back to Li Qi seemed to have finished the things in his hands.

He turned his head to look at the two people behind him, glanced at Joe, and finally looked at Li Qi.

Li Qi also looked at him, and their eyes met.

If nothing unexpected happened, the white-haired old man standing in front of Li Qi was Dean Derian of Huang Hospital.

Compared to the clutter in the house, Derien's image is quite decent.

He has slightly bald white hair and gray-white beard that is connected to the temples.

There is a gold-framed monocle in the left eye, and the slightly cloudy brown eyes are staring at Li Qi intently.

He looked at Li Qi for a while and then asked Li Qi:

"You are...the little genius recommended by that girl Amy?"

"I don't dare to be considered a genius. I just think I have a little talent in magic."

Facing his future mentor, Li Qi will not hide his talent.

Because how high your talent is, it means how much you can learn in the future. I believe that the dean in front of you will not be stingy about teaching a genius more magic.

What surprised Li Qi a little was that Professor Derien didn't seem to agree with what he said.

Derien frowned, turned his head and rummaged for something in the box beside him. After searching for a long time, he finally found a crystal ball, put it on the table closest to Li Qi, pointed at the crystal ball and said:

"Put your hand on it."

"This is...?" Li Qi was a little curious about what this crystal ball was.

Qiao explained: "This is a talent detector. We usually use it to detect the talents of magicians."

"I see……"

Li Qi nodded, but wondered why it was different from what he saw in Uno.

Uno's talent detector is a headband device with five balls on it. When the headband is worn on the head, the number of balls that light up represents how high the magic talent is.

If one of them doesn't light up, they don't have it. If all five of them light up, that's top talent.

Li Qi had all five lights on at that time, so he was directly awarded the rank of First Class Private not long after entering the barracks to learn magic.

Uno's magic talent detection mechanism is like this, but I don't know if English's is the same.

How to judge talent level with just a crystal ball?
