6 Pathfinder Part 1

It's not impossible for a qualified combat magician to be a magic engineer instead, but it couldn't be said the same thing otherwise. Magic engineers was normally being chosen by magicians with lower mana affinity after all.

Although magicians with lower mana affinity can be in combat, they would normally failed to be a licensed combat magician.

"I'm not quite sure as well, but I heard it on passing."

"I see, but our academy doesn't have the best quality of equipment in artifact forging, if she really plans to build foundation in magic engineering, I believe their family can afford her to study at Sacred Peak Academy."

It was two cities away but that should be minor concern. Wallace added it on his thought.

It was not bizarre for 2nd year student to change its course. Academies permit this changes as they let the magician decide their career.

It may also be the reason why during the first year in the academy, they were being taught of general knowledge for both course with only few discrepancies. In the first year, both combat class and artifact forging class were being taught on its foundation and completing practical classes.

Combat magicians was required to at least have general knowledge of artifact forging as that would prove helpful in the long run as a magician. There was even a saying that a good combat mage would be a good magic engineer. It can be true in some part, as they were mostly the user of complex magic structure. Unfortunately, studying both will only hinder you reaching the peak of your ability. Magic engineering consumes a lot of time to completely grasp and sometimes can be boring to others. So those combat magicians who has a chance to be licensed would quickly seize the opportunity.

Both of them were not aware of the reason why Sherly will transfer on different course. But since she's popular, there would definitely be more news later on.

Everyone in the classroom was chatting happily as they talked about their recent vacation. Exactly at 8AM, a stocky middle aged man wearing an instructors uniform entered and everyone was confused as this guy wasn't one they're expecting.

"Miss Tales won't be able guide you this semester so I'm here to guide you temporarily while she's out. For those who doesn't know me. I'm Garen, a new instructor here. I mainly teaches complex magic structuring. Supposedly, I'll only teach 3rd years. Sigh... On your first semester, you already learned and completed multiple artifact forging task, but your 4th gen artifact was made by group. This semester we will have to focus on practical exams and this time you'll try to create 5th gen artifact alone."

"Eh? Sir, did i misheard you saying we'll create 5th gen artifact and we'll do it alone?"

"What happened to Ms. Tales?"

They don't even have time to lament about Miss Tales story of leaving them when he mentioned something ridiculous. Though some concerned student asked after they remember.

"I just did. About Ms. Tales, she has some family concerns, I'm not quite sure as well but you can ask the dean"

Instructor Garen answered with a grin on his face. As if they could meet the elusive dean.

Everyone thought that they misheard him about creating the 5th gen artifact. He just said himself that we created 4th gen by group of students. It was six people in a group so a total of 5 groups created five 4th gen artifact. Now you want us to complete a 5th gen alone? They could not believe it. Although they already learned the theory, without enough practice it will be diffcult for them. Especially now that they created a 4th gen, they know how difficult it can be.

Majority of his classmates was dumbfounded when they heard it. If he hadn't consumed 3 memory crystal prior to this, he would be raising a fuss as well. Wallace noticed some of his classmates are uninterested even after Intructor Garen declared his intention. He thought for a bit and realized that this seven students has prominent backgrounds.

They perhaps consumed memory crystal as well. Wallace shook his head and thought that he was sure that they consumed it. After all, this seven student are the top performer of the class and are all aiming to be included in Twelve Magic Academies Competition or TMAC. I can't slack here, with 4 months until the selection, I need to have opportunity to prove my skills.

He couldn't help being nervous. The memory crystal only provides knowledge and not practical experience after all. But excitement also shows in his expression as he wants to try his skills.

When Intructor Garen finished answering some doubt of the student, he further explained.

"Although I said you will create 5th gen. It will just be some kind of simulation with a readied devices, but before that - I need to know how far you've already learned."

Their excitement died down a bit after being told that it will just be a simulation. Immediately after he announced this, their desk all lit up, questions appeared on the desk and with a touch on it using their palm, their student information appeared and their examination began as they answered the questions.

This lasted for three hours. You could only here a tapping on keyboard during this time as they diligently answered. Questions not being taught in the academy appears quite a lot. As a magician, they have better memory and could absorb a lot more knowledge. So with a free access in their library, even though some questions weren't particularly being taught they could still answer it.

But when questions about 5th gen appeared, their pace clearly slowed down. Questions related to mana-to-element compatibility, mana conversion theories, compound magic structuring and even mana particle emission. With all these difficult questions, the instructor really wants to see the limits of everyone knowledge.

Instructor Garen collected the results in his device and he dismissed the class after telling them there will be practical ability test tomorrow. They somehow expected that as practical skills were still the best way to have a grasp on someones ability.

Homeroom classes only happens in the morning and students will be allowed to use the facilities in the academy on the afternoon. Of course, the Main Artifact Forging room is not included.

Wallace and Gilbert stayed in the room and used their desk to browse the academy site online. Wallace carefully browsed information about mana infused device. Apparently, almost all electronic devices with infused mana are the only ones being regarded here. Technology advancement here still relied heavily in mana usage so alternative source of energy is not being particularly regarded.

With the appearance of magic engineers from its 1st generation several centuries ago allowed normal people to use most basic mana infused materials that particularly last longer than those aren't.

Wallace sighed as he checked the technological advancement of this Earth. He had already witnessed the several thousand years of innovation made by human civilization so he could see that this Earth is on its infancy stage.

He still have some time before he would take his lunch in their cafeteria when he remembered something. He immediately left classroom and headed to the library after telling Gilbert that they'll meet at the cafeteria for lunch.

He reserved a room in a library and opened a computer device inside. There wasn't really a surveillance in the reserved room but only the things you searched online are being monitored. But he wasn't here to browse online for something.

"Uhmm. Excuse me, you can now activate this Pathfinder you mentioned a while ago."
