Chapter 185: Invitation from the School of Magic
"Kira the Sage", the First Person in the New Era of Magic
"Demon" Mira returns to the magic world
"The shocking illusion magic, the most mysterious wizard of Fairy Tail, the man named Mistgang"
"A brief discussion on the value of the first magic guild in the Kingdom of Fiore - How strong are "Fire Dragon" Natsu, "Ice Warrior" Gray, "Summoner" Cana, and "Dark Knight" Felide?"
…
In magic newspapers, similar news hotspots appeared one after another, and all kinds of eye-catching headlines emerged in an endless stream. For a while, everyone in the entire Fiore Kingdom knew about Fairy Tail and the Magic Conference!
Cool magic battles, novel game rules, powerful wizards...all these reasons made the royal family pay more attention to the establishment of the Magic Guard, and also aroused their desire to hold the Magic Conference.
If a magic guild in a kingdom can hold one, then it shouldn't be a problem for me, the royal family of the Kingdom of Fiore, to hold one as well, right?
The news of Fairy Tail holding the Magic Conference spread quickly. After it was published in magic newspapers, it soon spread throughout the entire Fiore Kingdom. The guild became famous because of it. From Mira and Mistgon to Marcus and Bisca, everyone's fame increased greatly.
But if we were to say who gained the most fame, it would be Kira who won the championship in the end.
From that day on, all the citizens of Magnolia knew Kira, but some people looked at him strangely. He guessed that Disper must have done something behind his back, but he had no evidence.
And three days after the Harvest Festival, Kira's Hope Hut received a letter.
"A letter? There are still people writing to me these days?" Kira, who had just returned from the guild, took out the letter from the mailbox, his face full of curiosity and anticipation, "This seems to be the first time I've received a letter in such a long time, right? Who could have sent it to me?"
Back in the house, Kira couldn't wait to take out the letter, and immediately a refreshing smell of paper and ink hit his nose. Inside was a letter and a card. To be precise, it was not a card, but an invitation.
"Such a delicate piece of paper. Who wrote this invitation to me? Could it be that the King of Fiore is looking for a son-in-law for his daughter? No, no... I remember that the princess was still very young..."
This was an extremely delicate letter. Kira knew what it was made of just by touching it. The paper made from cedar trees was the best paper in the world and was generally used for invitations sent by upper-class people.
The upper class here refers to people in high positions of power such as the royal family or the Council of Ministers. Ordinary wealthy people and nobles are not allowed to use it. It is precisely because of this particularity that Kira became suspicious.
Kira spread the letter on the table and saw the following words written on it:
Dear Mr. Kira Hoplite:
I heard that you are the most outstanding wizard of the younger generation in the Kingdom of Fiore, with powerful magic, young talents, noble character... You have made many contributions to the magic world that cannot be erased by magic.
Magic education is an indispensable part of the magic world. It is the responsibility of every magic academy to provide elite magic education to children with outstanding magical talents and to establish a correct view of magic...
In view of the above reasons, Demisol Magic Academy plans to start recruiting new magic students in September this year, and now specially invites Mr. Hopelet...】
Seeing this, Kira, who was originally slumped in the rocking chair, was shocked and immediately sat up straight like a salted fish: "What?! Demisol Magic Academy?!"
Demisool School of Magic, the most famous magic school in the Kingdom of Fiore, was jointly invested and established by the Fiore Royal Family and the Council of Representatives. Its teaching staff is very strong.
This academy has a long history. It is rumored that its predecessor can even be traced back hundreds of years ago. This makes Kira quite concerned because he remembers that in the comics, Jellal studied in a magic academy when he was a child.
Regardless of whether it is the same one, if this rumor is true, as a magic academy that can survive the Dragon King Festival, the Demisool Magic Academy must have a very rich foundation.
But...Isn't it inappropriate for me to go to you to learn since I'm so strong?
"Why didn't you come back then? I'm no longer old enough to act cool in the academy. Why did you invite me over? Are you playing house?"
Kira continued to look down...
[We now specially invite Mr. Hopelet to attend our school's admission ceremony to set an excellent example for the future geniuses in the magic world. 】
"Okay, I misunderstood! So they didn't want me to enroll, that's what I said..."
Kira collapsed again. The other party invited him to observe their admission ceremony as a guest, not to participate in the admission as a student. He felt relieved. It seemed that the other party also knew that he was not suitable.
But soon, a deep sense of loss followed.
"Damn it! With my magical talent, I should have had a wonderful life in the academy! Why didn't it send me an invitation to enroll back then?!"
I can’t think about it anymore. The more I think about it, the more depressed I’ll get!
[In addition, I hope you will be willing to educate the children and give them a lecture and magic teaching for a month. ]
"Great! You want me to do the hard labor!"
The Demisool School of Magic recruits students every year. The targets are children aged 6 to 12 who have a talent for learning magic. Since each entrance examination is extremely rigorous, all those who remain are geniuses.
These geniuses will study at Demisol Academy for several years, but the duration of study for each person is different. Those with less talent will be kicked out after one or two years, while those with stronger talent may study for four or five years. If you are young when you enter and have extremely high talent, it is possible to stay for eight or nine years, but it will not exceed 10 years at most.
Kira heard from Jura and Ivan that Demisol Academy would occasionally invite some well-known wizards to teach magic to the students. The letter said that he would teach magic classes to the children for a month, so this was probably it.
"Humph! You didn't come to me when I needed you, but now that you need me, I can't refuse this kind of invitation..."
Before he could finish his angry words, Kira's eyes glanced at the last few lines of the letter.
[If you agree to this invitation and come to give a speech and teach, we will pay you 1 million J as a reward. If you know any talented children, you can bring them along.]
Seeing this, Kira clicked his tongue again: "Wow, this is indeed a magic school with a Kingdom and Council background, it's really generous! 1 million J... This is the prize money for the champion of a Fairy Tail tournament."
In the magic world, being able to participate in the enrollment of Demisol Magic Academy as a guest is a very honorable thing, because it means the status of an invitee, so even if they have no money, they will rush to go, but Kira is different, he is a very principled person!
The principle is simple: if you have money, go! If you don’t have money, don’t go!
"Since they are so sincere, I will go there!"
It's not that I want to find a master for the 1 million or something , but I mainly want to support magic education.
After thinking for a long time, Kira took the letter and invitation and went out. He was going to find Markov.
"It's better to be safe than sorry. I'd better go to the president to confirm the authenticity of the invitation letter first, just in case it's a prank from someone else."
Half an hour later, Kira came out of Marklov's house, and the old man confirmed the authenticity of the letter and invitation.
"Sure enough, just as I thought, the president has been invited before. Since the invitation is real, then the next step is to prepare to bring people..."
Since they allowed him to bring children of the right age, Kira certainly wouldn't refuse! However, the academy's enrollment restrictions were limited to children over 6 years old and under 12 years old with magical talents...
"It seems that I can only take one from the orphanage..."
After returning to the Hope Cottage, Kira wrote down the names of all the children in the orphanage that he knew on a piece of paper, and then carefully considered each child's magical talent and crossed them out one by one.
"This one won't do. It's not a good attitude. If you take it out, people will inevitably laugh at you... This one is a few years older... This one is a little younger..."
At the end, among the densely packed scratches, only three names were left.
