Chapter 308: A World Where Everyone Can Be a Sorcerer!

"I merely provided you with an opportunity to choose, but the ascension depends solely on your efforts," Lynn produced a meticulously crafted wizard's medal and placed it over Pearce's chest. "From today onward, you are an official wizard!"

"Thank you, Lord Lynn..." Pearce's voice trembled slightly.

Lynn waved his hand, signaling Pearce to depart, and then summoned the next apprentice.

With a bow, Pearce left the Tower of Whispers. Approximately three minutes later, Jonny entered, sharing a smile with Lynn, who gestured toward the seat in front. "Stay here for a few minutes before leaving, to avoid arousing suspicion..."

The girl nodded. In truth, Elok and the others had long suspected her during this period; after all, they often cast spells, only to be deceived each time by her use of alchemic creations - the 'magic hand.'

Now, there was no need for clandestine actions.

During this ten-minute interval, Jonny, holding an exam paper, sought Lynn's guidance on the remaining incorrectly answered questions...

For the next few hours, Lynn distributed wizard's medals to each successful apprentice within the Tower of Whispers. He also consoled the failures, encouraging them to persevere for a chance next year.

Perhaps due to the ordeal of the theoretical exams, this year's ascension rate was higher, around sixty percent - meaning forty to fifty new formal wizards this year.

Lynn contemplated as he glanced at the pages recording each student's information, intending to assign duties based on their performances. Those with poor theory but exceptional practical skills would become battle wizards, joining the empire's warfare. Conversely, those adept in theory would venture into research, contributing to new weaponry and magic development.

In the midst of his musings, the door was once again pushed open, this time by Lydia.

The halfling girl barged in, eager, and immediately pulled at the table, asking impatiently, "Dean Lynn, can I become a wizard too?"

Lynn refocused and countered, "That depends on what kind of wizard you wish to become."

"Of course, a wizard who can cast magic!" Lydia promptly replied, her eyes expectantly fixed on the Dean, excitement evident.

"If it's solely about casting magic, that isn't too difficult," Lynn chuckled.

"Really? Can I use magic too?" Lydia exclaimed in delight. Though Jonny had mentioned it before, confirmation from the Dean was different.

"Put this on first!" Lynn handed her a specially crafted bracelet, similar to the 'Ring of Secrets,' designed for communication within the realm of magic but with slight modifications for differentiation.

Lydia hastily put it on and asked eagerly, "So now can I perform magic?"

"Of course not!" Lynn shook his head with a smile. "Close your eyes, relax!"

Lydia immediately complied, shutting her eyes tightly, but she couldn't relax at all.

Internally, Lynn called upon the cognitive link with the halfling girl's brain. With Redell as a precedent and Lydia's high level of trust in him, the process went smoothly this time, causing her minimal discomfort as she connected with the realm of magic.

Lydia swiftly found herself in an incredibly magical place. Countless grey runes floated in a void, five of which floated toward her, dancing around her body like playful children before flying into her mind.

[Basic Material Deconstruction], [Water Condensation], [Mage's Hand], [Fireball], [Frost Blade]...

Five spells manifested in Lydia's mind, and Lynn's voice echoed in her ears.

"Now, try casting a spell!"

Lydia opened her eyes, nervously extended her palm, and activated the spells in her mind. Under the surge of elements, a crystal-clear, icy blade materialized, exuding a chilling aura that instantly reduced the ambient temperature.

"Real magic!" Lydia exclaimed joyfully. She then tried the Fireball spell; the powers of fire and ice danced in her palm, delighting her immensely.

Though these were basic spells, for a halfling girl who had struggled to grasp magic, they were more than satisfactory.

"Dean Lynn, you're amazing!" Lydia rushed to Lynn, planting a few kisses on his face, overflowing with excitement.

Lynn wiped the saliva off his face and reminded her, "Remember, your mental energy is limited. You can only cast the Zero-Ring spell five times and the One-Ring spell three times a day."

Lydia nodded fervently; limitations didn't bother her. At least now, she was truly a wizard! She wanted to see who would dare claim otherwise...

Eager to show off, Lydia was halted by Lynn before leaving.

"Don't you want your wizard's medal?" Lynn asked helplessly.

"Yes, yes!" Lydia dashed back, patiently waiting for the Dean to bestow the medal upon her before dashing out, elated.

Observing Lydia's restless demeanor, Lynn couldn't help but smile. Then, he began probing the magical energy consumption issue of the cognitive network.

Enabling someone who had no magical abilities to succeed in casting magic wasn't without a cost. Magic didn't materialize out of thin air; it had to be drawn from their realm of magic.

This was Lynn's second attempt at breaking the theory of magical talent. It seemed successful, but numerous issues needed resolution.

For instance, the supply of magic: the drained magic couldn't solely burden the cognitive network. It would be ideal to establish a magic reactor, much like setting up an electrical grid, to supply the casting demands of these new-wave wizards.

In his envisioning, within the future magical kingdom, regardless of inherent wizardry, anyone who studied and comprehended magical principles, possessing adequate computational power, could use the magic network to perform corresponding spells!

No longer would birthright decide whether a commoner could become a wizard.

A world where everyone could wield magic might transcend the previous federations, elevating magical studies to an entirely new height.
