Chapter 1007 Academy City (I)
It was not a long journey from the Sorcerer Empire to Parsus, but under Zhan's deliberate guidance, it still took them nearly two days. Except for Hank and other first group members,
The next few groups of members who were also selected also came here on transport ships to join together. As the number of people increased, everyone became more and more excited. Of course, what surprised Hank and others the most was that these people passed the test.
Among the people, there are even many women. Although there are not as many men on average, these women still account for one-tenth of the population. If the final audit number is used to calculate, then ten
The number of 1/2 women is not particularly high, but as long as you think about the harshness of the conditions for passing the review, it is enough to make people respect them.
To be honest, even Zhan En was quite surprised by this. It was not that he had not considered recruiting female apprentices, but Zhan En had also thought of using another way to test female apprentices, but he did not expect that these women were so capable.
Perseverance, although almost nine out of ten of them were unable to climb more than halfway due to physical reasons, in terms of effort alone, they are on par with men.
Zhan was also very curious at first, so he sent Enoa to ask for the reason, and the answer Enoa brought back made Zhan dumbfounded - the reason why these female apprentices and mages were willing to participate in the trial was also
It is out of resistance to discrimination, but they are different from those male apprentices. If the male mage apprentices are resisting the Magic Empire's standard of demarcating boundaries based on talent, then these female mages are fighting against the entire Magic Empire's
Deep-rooted discrimination against women. The number of female mages in the Magic Empire is rare. This is not because women have weaker magical talents. In fact, in terms of pure talent and ability, women are actually about the same as men in this regard.
However, the fate of the two sides is completely different.
If you are a male mage, you are talented enough, smart enough, and powerful enough. Then you can slowly climb the ladder of mage step by step, from apprentice to low-level mage to mid-level mage.
Then to the high-level mage, and finally to the legendary archmage. You will become the envy of everyone and receive attention and worship.
However, if you are a female mage, you are very smart, have good magical talents, and have quite strong abilities, then... you need to work twice as hard as a male. And, even so, it does not mean that your
The road will be smooth sailing. You will find that you cannot enter the depths of the Great Library, and the secret areas where valuable books are hidden will not be open to you. And even if you participate in the mage level determination, you will encounter more harsh and harsh conditions than usual.
Difficult trials. Sometimes, even though all the goals have been achieved, the other party will refuse to increase the level of female mages. This is even an open secret. So many female mages can only choose to rely on the power of female mages in the end.
You can choose to live in the relatively large prophecy magic sect, or choose to become an informal magic profession such as an alchemist as your first choice in life.
This is of course unfair to these female mages, but the general environment is such that those female mages who try to resist will not have good results in the end. Under this situation, they have had enough of the entire Sorcerous Empire environment.
Discrimination, so when they learned that Zhan was here to recruit people, these female mages all chose to participate in the trial and leave the Magic Empire.
They make choices more decisively than those male mages - the reason is very simple. Zhan En's reputation as a playboy has spread throughout the entire continent, and now everyone in Klein Continent knows that Zhan En has a bunch of beautiful girls.
Of course, in the eyes of men, this can only confirm Zhan En's reputation as a womanizer. But it is different for women, especially women in the Sorcerous Empire who have been discriminated against. Although Zhan En looks like this on the surface,
It does mean nepotism, but in turn, he is willing to hand over these important positions to his female subordinates. This at least shows that this lord may be lustful, but he has no discrimination against women's talents and abilities! Otherwise,
, he can choose some men who are loyal to him to take charge of these key positions, and bring those beautiful girls into the harem instead of letting them out to do things. This is what ordinary men should do, isn't it?
Perhaps because of this, although the number of women who participated in the trial and passed the test was not as good as that of men, in terms of "quality", they steadily surpassed all male mages. If calculated in terms of level,
So among the male mages who passed the trial, 30% are middle- and low-level mages, and 70% are mage apprentices. But among women, 50% are high-level mages, and even middle-level mages account for 70%.
There are 30% low-level mages, but only 20% are apprentices. This may be because those women who have climbed to the top are more able to experience the upper echelons of the Sorcerous Empire than women who have just entered their apprenticeships.
"Glass ceiling", so their desire to resist is even stronger.
This is like a female CEO and a secret lover who is dedicated to being a lover. They have different goals and naturally have completely different ideas.
"Tell me, what will it be like where we are going?"
Standing in front of the window, looking at the white clouds and blue sky passing by outside, Lisa asked expectantly. And hearing her words, the other female mage sitting next to her smiled lightly. Although
They have been discussing this topic for a long time, but before arriving at their destination, everyone was still enjoying it. For many female mages, this is the first time in their lives that they have left the Magic Empire. They are naturally concerned about the outside world.
It is full of longing and worry.
Unlike male mages, most female mages are aged between sixteen and seventeen to more than 20 years old, because only women of this age have enough adventurous spirit. The older they are, the more they pursue stability and stability.
Since few female mages can sit in high positions, even if they become lichs, they have no role to play. Therefore, as they grow older, many female mages either choose to get married or plan to concentrate on their side jobs.
.
Unlike those male mages who were still a little nervous, these female mages were very relaxed after arriving here, especially when they saw those energetic girls in black uniforms personally controlling the actions of the battleship, and
After giving orders to control such a behemoth, the pride and longing they feel are unspeakable - in their view, if they can meet the requirements, then maybe one day, they can do such a thing. And this is exactly what they want.
It is what most female mages dream of.
It is not to assist those arrogant male mages in casting spells, nor to be their assistants and handymen, but to truly control, control, and direct the actions of a huge metal battleship by themselves. If they can achieve this goal, then their dream
, which can be considered as half achieved.
"Those people said it was Academy City. I think it should be similar to the Magic Academy, right?"
Hearing this, another girl who didn't look too old also spoke. Everyone had a common topic about this. After all, female mages are not like male mages in studying. You can be shameless with male mages at a very young age.
Ask the mage in the Mage Tower to take him in, and then start as an apprentice. But girls don’t have such a good thing. If you want to become a mage, you can only go to the Magic Academy through formal channels. If you don’t do this, then
In the Sorcerer Empire, this is just like an actress transitioning from making live action movies to the entertainment industry. She is born with a dark history, and it is even more difficult to continue.
If it is accidentally revealed that he has been involved in a small movie, it will be even worse.
Because of this, the female mages who appear here are naturally graduates or even students of the Magic Academy. Naturally, they are very familiar with the Magic Academy. The Magic Academy is also the most famous place in the Magic Empire, and it is also known as
Known as a mage's paradise, seven mage towers that reach into the sky are lined up against the mountains, presenting a unique beauty. Of course, if Zhan En sees it, he will definitely transform it into the zodiac.
"I think it should be different from the Magic Academy. You see, taking this battleship as an example, it is completely different from the one in the Magic Empire. I think even the academy is the same. The academy built by the lord will definitely not
As lifeless as the Magic Academy!"
Being able to say this is enough to show how much resentment this man has towards the Magic Academy.
"But then again, what exactly are we going to learn? Is it how to operate these spacecraft?"
"No way. Didn't that lord say that we want to compete with the Sorcerous Empire? If we win, can we completely change the current system of the Sorcerous Empire? If we just operate something like a spaceship, I'm afraid it's impossible to do it.
.Although I also admit that their production concept is indeed interesting......"
Women are more careful than men in this regard, so they look at it from different angles.
And while everyone was arguing, suddenly, a clear voice sounded, echoing in the cabin.
"Hello, fellow passengers, this ship is about to arrive at its destination, Academy City. Please sit tight in your seats, put away the tray tables, and fasten your seat belts. Wait for the ship to land..." Who said this?
After not understanding the meaning of the words, the following finally changed to the normal state. "...We will have someone to guide you at the exit. Please gather according to your respective blocks and prepare to leave for Academy City."
Hearing this, Lisa could not help clenching her fists with joy and nervousness, and stared out the window.
