I Created Scientific Magic

Chapter 321: Chapter 309: Could it be that you’ve gone crazy from using magic, and are now having hallucinations?

Outside the Tower of Whistling, a group of apprentices were gathered in front of the gate, awaiting the results of this promotion ceremony.

From time to time, individuals would walk out of the tower, exhilarated, receiving envious and jealous glances. However, those who failed were not few in number, and they could only retreat to the side with a gloomy demeanor.

Darren and the others watched as Lydia entered the tower, anxiously waiting. Within two minutes, they saw the tower’s main door open again.

So soon?

Darren drummed anxiously in his heart. He had been told quite clearly by those who had successfully been promoted that transforming the body with a Magic Potion took time. It might be fast or slow but generally took about ten minutes…

Could it be that she had failed her promotion?

Just as he was contemplating this possibility, Darren dismissed the thought the next moment, for Lydia, who had walked out from the tower, was wearing a dazzling Wizard badge on her chest, shining brightly under the sun.

All eyes were drawn to her, signifying that in Yeita, no, in all of Wizard Land, there would be the first half-human Wizard!

“Congratulations, Lydia, you truly are a trailblazer for the half-humans!” Johnny said, jubilantly congratulating her.

Those familiar with the girl, including Ailoke and others, also came forward to congratulate her, genuinely happy for her.

Under everyone’s gaze, Lydia proudly puffed out her chest. From today, she was officially a Wizard.

“I never thought the dean would actually allow someone who can’t use magic to become a Wizard!” Debra said, quite enviously.

The apprentices who had taken the Magic Potion but failed to complete the promotion looked at the half-human girl with a bit more dissatisfaction.

Like Lydia, they had passed the test and practical subject assessments twice, but the dean had not granted them the status of Wizard. Instead, he had bestowed this honor on a half-human who couldn’t even use magic, which led them to inwardly resent Dean Lynn’s favoritism.

“Who said I can’t use magic?” Lydia proudly extended her hand, concentrating and preparing to perform the Fireball Technique to dazzle everyone.

The apprentices and Wizards present looked on curiously; they knew Lydia had spent a whole two years at Yeita Academy without managing to learn magic.

Lydia focused on communicating with the Magic Domain and tried to activate the spell slot in her mind, but despite struggling for a long time, nothing happened.

“Huh, why can’t I use it?” Lydia opened her eyes, speaking bewilderedly.

“Maybe you’ve gone mad from wanting to use magic so much that you’ve started hallucinating?” Debra scoffed derisively.

Lydia pouted, suddenly remembering what the dean had said about her computing power — she could only use three first-level spells per day. In her excitement inside the Tower of Whistling, it seemed she had already used them all up!

That left only the zero-level spells… She remembered she hadn’t used them all up.

With a thought, Lydia immediately activated the Mage’s Hand. The exam papers in everyone’s hands trembled violently before flying up, circling around her, and then stacking in her hands.

“This, this is the Mage’s Hand…”

Debra’s eyes widened in shock, and it took her a while to confirm no one was playing a trick on her.

The one casting the spell was indeed Lydia!

“You really learned magic, Lydia!” Darren excitedly placed his hands on Lydia’s shoulders and shook her back and forth.

Although it was just a basic zero-ring spell, it still represented that the other party had mastered the miracle called magic!

“Of course! I can also use the ‘Fireball Technique’ and ‘Frost Blade,’ but I’ve used them several times just now, so I have to wait until tomorrow to use them again…” Lydia said proudly, though she also felt a bit annoyed inwardly. If only she had known, she would have saved a first-ring spell slot to show everyone a good time.

However, given Lydia’s successful casting of magic, no one questioned her words, as everyone’s magic power and spiritual power are limited. Even a formal Wizard, after casting several powerful spells, could face a magic power drought.

This meant that the half-human girl in front of them had indeed become a Wizard!

But how did the principal manage this?

It was common knowledge in Wizard Land that half-humans lacked magical talent, a consensus never broken before. Could Lydia be an exception, who had broken the racial shackles and gained the ability to cast spells after consuming the Magic Source?

Perhaps the principal had seen her Wizard talent from the beginning, which was why he was willing to let Lydia enter the Iyeta Academy…

Alioke and the others were puzzled by this thought, but they did not venture into more extreme directions. After all, if the principal truly had a way to make anyone a formal Wizard, it would be too astonishing, far more outrageous than a hundred times the speculation that half-humans possess magical talent!

…

The graduation exam at Iyeta lasted a whole four days before it ended, and Alioke and the others, who had said goodbye to their apprenticeships, were soon assigned to various institutions.

However, every sector now needed manpower, especially Wizards who had mastered some aspect of physics, from optimizing internal combustion engines and constructing armored ships, to improving muskets and cannons. The graduation of forty-seven Wizards could only be seen as a drop in the bucket.

During these days, Ryder and Ham were not idle either, exploring every aspect of Wizard City and even personally visiting various workshops to gain experience.

These jobs were indeed exhausting, working fourteen-hour shifts straight, but the monthly salaries were enough to make everyone forget the physical pain, and everyone treasured their current lives, working tirelessly day and night, almost without the need for supervisors.

Because the Wizards in charge told them that most of the goods produced in the workshops were for war preparations, and would significantly determine the outcome of the war.

If the council was defeated and the empire seized control here, they would have to return to their previous life of not knowing when their next meal would be and possibly even worse.

They had heard that the nobles and the church outside Wizard Land were extremely cruel, ready to slaughter entire cities without hesitation, steal their wealth, kill every non-believer, or sell them as slaves to the barbaric land.

Therefore, the workers spontaneously worked overtime, bursting with great enthusiasm, all to preserve their current lives…

After spending five days in the workshops, Ryder reluctantly went to the grain-producing fields opened by the Wizards at Lynn’s invitation, as today was the day of the summer harvest!

What Ryder saw was an exceptionally spectacular sight, a vast, golden wheat field stretching all the way to the horizon, like a magnificent sea of gold…
