Chapter One Arrival in the Capital
"Chang Gong, you must listen to Teacher Xiu's words, study hard and try your best to get in, if you really can't get in, come back quickly, don't let Dad and Mom worry, Teacher Xiu, I'm entrusting Chang Gong to you." Mom hugged me and cried for half a day.
"Alright, child's mother, stop crying, Chang Gong will be back, let them hurry on their way."
After bidding farewell to my dad, mom and the teachers and classmates of the academy (of course, there's also Ode, that kid told me to practice magic well so I can cover for him when I left), I set out on the road to the capital with Xiū teacher.
"Teacher Xiu, how far are we from the capital?"
"We still have a long way to go, we need to cross 3 provinces, about more than 2000 miles of road."
"So far away."
……
We averaged 90 miles a day on the road, and after more than 20 days of arduous journey, we finally arrived in the capital. Neither I nor Teacher Xiu could use magic to fly, only high-level wind system magicians can use wind soaring techniques to fly, with distances varying depending on magical power. Originally, I wanted to use instant teleportation, after all, it's 500 meters at a time, but Teacher Xiu didn't let me, and along the way, he taught me many exam tips and some magic applications.
In order not to disappoint Dad, Mom and Teacher Xiu, of course, also for the purse that I will soon swell up with, all along the way, I made an extraordinary effort, which surprised Teacher Xiu so much that she thought I had changed my ways.
These 20 or so days of effort, combined with the two months of contemplation before Teacher Xiu returned, have filled my body with magical power. Teacher Xiu says that my current magical power has already reached the edge of a high-level magician's.
Because my attack magic is really weak, Teacher Xiu taught me two more light system magics on the road. One is Light Binding Array, this magic is mainly used to trap the main enemy, it's a mid-level attack magic (the only attacking magic in mid-level light system magic!). Another one is a high-level light system magic - Light Slashing Sword, with my current magical power, I can only use this magic once. Teacher Xiu told me not to use it unless absolutely necessary, after all, I can still run away, hehe.
The capital is indeed a big city, with high and thick walls, and has several gates. The gates are very wide, with people coming and going, never-ending streams of travelers, occasionally merchants' carts passing by, the sound of wheels never ceasing, and also luxurious carriages, intricately carved (I guess inside sits nobility), intersecting and moving forward in all directions, truly worthy of being my country's capital city Aisha.
I strolled with Teacher Xiu in the city, which is much larger than Senko City. There are many shops of all kinds along the road, and I want to go see what new things there are, but Teacher Xiu doesn't let me go, pulling me to arrive at the Royal Intermediate Magic Academy near the east of the city.
"Longbow, look over there, that magnificent building complex is the Royal Intermediate Magic Academy. The entrance exam will start in 3 days, let's find a nearby place to rest for now."
We found a cheap inn to stay in. Originally, Teacher Xiu wanted to take me to a slightly better inn, but the nearby ones that were slightly higher-end had all been booked by nobles from various places, so we could only settle for this one. (Of course, all the nobles hoped their children could get into the Royal Intermediate Magic Academy.)
"If it weren't for our quick actions, we might not even be able to stay here."
"Yes, you're right, teacher." I finally understood why Teacher Xiu didn't let me waste time wandering around when we came into the city.
"Longbow, let's go, I'll take you out for a spin."
"Alright!"
I and Teacher Xiu arrived on the main street, as it was the capital of the Magic Kingdom, everywhere were people buying magic supplies. We came to a magic tool store, wow, inside there were all sorts of magic supplies, including magic robes, some low-level magic crystals, magic wands, and also some fantasy beast eggs (every magician has a fantasy beast, but their own fantasy beast needs to be hatched by themselves, the fantasy beast eggs sold here are all sealed with a spell, requiring blood as a medium to hatch, the hatched fantasy beast will recognize the first person it sees as its master. In this ordinary store, there were only fantasy beast eggs below level 4. High-level fantasy beast eggs are very expensive, and those above level 7 can't be bought even with money, they require luck.)
"Longbow, take a look and see if there's one you like, Teacher is giving it to you."
"Good! Thank you, teacher." I picked them up without hesitation, and finally chose a white phantom beast egg and a magic wand inlaid with white crystal.
"Sir, you have a good eye for selection. Among our goods, this magic wand is the best. This 1st-level phantom beast egg is a gift to you, and this magic wand costs 50 gold coins." (That phantom beast egg is of the light system, nobody wants it anyway)
"Isn't it expensive?" Teacher Xiu frowned, but agreed with me. As a teacher, one has to set an example, so I had to grit my teeth and buy it anyway.
Back at the inn, Teacher Xiu helped me appraise it, and this magic wand can increase magic attack power by 30%. It's indeed a pretty good wand. That beast egg is quite ordinary, but it's only a level 1 beast after all.
"You've received the gift, now you must work hard for the exam after tomorrow, don't disappoint the teacher."
This staff has been with me for a very long time until I got...
And the Phantom Beast hatched from that egg is indeed my most important partner afterwards.
Perhaps it was fate, the egg of the Phantom Beast that Guang Zhi obtained happened to be a growing type Phantom Beast, and it played a crucial role in Guang Zhi's journey to becoming a great demon master.
Mansang Guang's son is about to start his intermediate magic academy career, what will happen to his contracted beast?
