Chapter 250 Elite Member Ian, Reactions from All Sides, Funding and Annual Assessment
"It's finally been announced!"
At home, Ian looked at the message from the academy congratulating him on becoming an elite member.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
After replying to the message, Ian prepared to go to the identity bureau to change his identity.
Ian arrived just minutes later.
Then you can see a huge white tower standing on one side, and in front of it is a huge notice board.
From a distance, Ian could see the four large characters displayed above.
Elite member admission list!
By this time, a number of wizards had gathered around the perimeter. Some wizards belonging to certain families even rushed away immediately after watching the event to report the good news back to their families.
For any family within the range of elemental mystic arts, elite members are indispensable.
But none of this mattered to Ian, who walked straight toward the white tower on one side.
Just got to the door.
Tilan was already waiting, dressed in a wizard's robe, and rushed over when he saw Ian.
"Lord Ian, you've finally arrived!"
Ian nodded.
But I was also somewhat surprised.
The wizard in front of him was assessing his level for the first time, including advancement to the early and middle stages of the first ring.
And their attitude has changed time and time again, from Ian entering at first to now taking the initiative to come out and greet him.
"I wonder if core disciples will receive door-to-door service."
Ian thought to himself.
My body followed Tilan inside, where there was a queue.
"Sir, these are the new batch of wizard apprentices registering their identities as they join the academy."
Tilan explained from the side.
"Is this the new batch?"
Ian glanced at them and saw that they were indeed very young and inexperienced, just like they were back then.
The wizards were also watching the two, especially noticing the three silver markings on Ian's body that indicated he was a late-stage first-ring wizard, the three stars that marked him as a high-level alchemist, and the ring whose purpose was unknown...
Their eyes revealed a mixture of envy and other emotions.
After a wizard quickly explained it to them, they were all even more shocked.
"My lord, after you advance to the elite member level, you can apply for a new house and move to the mountainside of the Four Symbols Academy. Then you can choose four wizard servants to bring into the academy, which is equivalent to having academy status."
Inside the library, all knowledge can be discounted by 20%, and this discount can be combined with your status as a scholar.
There's also a resource for advancing to the later stages of the first ring, but it seems you probably don't need it; you can exchange it for other resources.
And you can enter the shallow area of the secret realm once a year.
Tilan introduced them to Ian.
Ian was increasingly surprised as he listened.
Although he knew the general idea before, it involved academy secrets, so he wasn't entirely clear about it.
New house.
His previous residence was nice, but it was just an ordinary house.
The new residential area is basically a small manor, equipped with various laboratories and training grounds, and even a small elemental pool, so he won't need to travel too far to handle some simple matters in the future.
This is very good.
Furthermore, it can bring four wizard servants.
Although Ian has many assistants, they are all from the academy, and he does need some trustworthy people.
"Farne, Sherry, Logan, and Coro are good choices."
Ian pondered.
These people have been with him for many years, so they are more than capable of handling small tasks.
And they are trustworthy.
As for the 20% discount at the library, if you combine it with your status as a scholar, it becomes a 40% discount.
This is even better news for him.
There is also a resource for advancement.
"Can I exchange it for Earth Essence?" Ian asked, as this was a resource required for the third level of meditation.
expensive.
It costs about 300 contribution points or 200 battle merits per gram, and he needs at least one gram every day.
That's nearly 10,000 contribution points a month.
It can only be said that Ian has felt immense pressure ever since he advanced.
The later stages of the first ring road require more resources, and they are also more expensive.
Moreover, this is just a meditation method; apart from solidified witchcraft, the others basically require various resources.
Sporadic amounts, spending 10,000 contribution points a month is currently a breeze.
"I'm poor!"
Ian suddenly felt a sense of trouble.
He never imagined that one day he would be limited by contribution points.
"We need to consider more channels, including improvements to some materials."
Ian squinted as he pondered.
In the past, his status and strength were insufficient, so he always relied on the academy.
But now, being an elite member is barely enough to bear some of the burden.
Fortunately, he did have a good partner.
Pierce Chamber of Commerce.
Ian pondered to himself that Audrey's family's business association was a good candidate.
Firstly, it is a fairly good chamber of commerce among the third tier, and secondly, it has a certain level of strength.
I quickly made up my mind.
"Normally it's not possible because these resources are already under control, and there aren't enough even at the front lines. But because it's an experience from the elite ranks, it's possible. You can exchange it for about fifty grams."
Meanwhile, Tilan also looked up the list and then answered.
"OK."
Ian breathed a sigh of relief.
After confirming his identity, Ian returned to his home and then prepared to sort out which products he could consider!
At the same time, we will also process the changes in some elite members.
at the same time.
The list of elite members gradually spread over time.
Wind Whisper Academy.
"Nicole is cultivating on the fourth level of the Wind Abyss when she received a message from her family."
"Ian Green, Elite Member No. 17"
The corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
The guy who cultivated with her in the Wind Abyss has indeed passed.
"Not bad."
Nicole looked at the list and a smile appeared on her face when she saw Ian's name near the top.
"I need to go see my dad and try to get him some resources, otherwise the resources needed for the later stages of the first ring will be hard to come by!"
Her eyes flickered.
With the list in hand, she went to the other side of the top of Wind Whisper Academy and met her father.
Her father's name is Gunnar Edward, a second-circle wind elemental wizard and the current head of the Edward family.
Their demonic forces control a vast amount of resources within the Wind Whisper Academy, surpassing even Elena's, because the Edward family was one of the original families that founded the academy.
"It's rare that a wizard would attract your attention. Okay, invite him over in a while, and I'll meet him in person."
Gunnar, a seemingly kind wizard, was smiling at this moment.
"A good father."
Nicole immediately looked happy.
But after she left, his expression didn't look so good.
"Ian..."
""
He had heard of the name.
I didn't know she was in contact with her daughter; I guess I'll have to ask her about it later.
"That's great!"
Alchemy Department.
Thea and the many alchemists smiled as they looked at Ian's name.
In their view, Ian absolutely deserves it.
"Hayden, wake up! Lord Ian has become an elite disciple."
Meanwhile, the fanatic Finney was knocking on Hayden's door, holding a list in his hand.
He had been waiting there for a day in advance.
"What's wrong?"
Hayden was still a little dazed when he came out, but Finney woke him up.
"What?! You've been promoted to elite, sir?"
Hayden's eyes lit up immediately.
Although I knew Ian could do it, it wasn't a reality.
But now that the list has been released, it means that it has been confirmed.
His future is bright.
"Why."
In the corner, Motuo sighed, still regretting his decision.
Simultaneously.
The list of elite members also spread rapidly throughout the City of Elements.
The Byers Chamber of Commerce, the Horton School of Wizardry, and others naturally received the news as well.
"My dear brother-in-law!"
Inside the Chamber of Commerce, Feynman looked delighted, much to Audrey's disdain.
"Brother, you weren't like this when we first met."
"I don't remember, I don't remember."
Feynman waved his hand.
"Audrey, invite Ian over. Ian is already in the late stage of the first ring and will definitely need a lot of resources. We can consider establishing a deeper connection."
"Cassian said from the side."
He knew very well that once he advanced to the elite level, he would have the ability to compete for the position of core disciple.
The Biles family has always relied on a core member.
However, this core member is approaching retirement age and is still a long way from becoming a second-circle wizard.
They have to make some plans.
"Ian!"
"Are you sure there's something wrong with this Ian?"
At this moment, on the fourth floor, in the Cold Wind Wizard family, the family head Cold Wind Wizard looked at the wizards of the Emerald Shadow family in front of him.
Since Jules' death, most of the assets of the Cuiying family have been swallowed up by them.
Most of the family's wizards became their vassals and servants.
Before me stood a former elder of the Cuiying family.
"Yes, sir. The Emerald Shadow family is not without a history. According to family legend, our family once broke away from a powerful wizarding academy, but later declined."
The academy ruins have always been in the Emerald Shadow Forest, but no one has paid much attention to them.
"And both Ian and Horton have only average talent, how could they have risen to where they are now? Horton even disappeared after our patriarch's death. There's definitely something wrong with them; they absolutely have information about the academy's ruins." The elder said with a face full of resentment. "Oh?"
A hint of interest flashed in the eyes of the Cold Wind Wizard.
Any school that can be called a wizarding academy must have at least two-circle wizards.
He's now just one step away from the Second Ring Road; if he could gain something from it...
But that was an elite member.
Thinking of this, the Cold Wind Wizard frowned.
Anyone who tries to take action against a wizard of the academy's caliber will have their entire family executed if the matter is discovered.
Moreover, he was such an alchemical genius, a student of the dean of an academy.
Can I do it?
After thinking for a moment, he looked at the wizard in front of him and said, "I'm sorry, I refuse to do this."
"And I will inform the college."
"ah???"
The wizard from the Emerald Shadow family was taken aback.
No?
"What? The Emerald Shadow Wizarding Family has been expelled from the City of Elements?"
At the Horton School of Wizardry, Ian, who had arrived, listened in a daze to Willow's words.
"Yes, Ian."
Willow nodded. As for how she knew, it was because after the Emerald Shadow Wizarding Family was driven out of the City of Elements, their entire family was taken over by the Cold Wind Family and then handed over to Ian.
"The Cold Wind Wizard..."
'
Ian was also somewhat emotional at this point.
I never expected to have such an unexpected gain.
"However, the departure of the Emerald Shadow Wizarding Family is one less troublesome one."
Ian shook his head.
However, this is a good thing, even though it only involves receiving a portion of the assets of the Emerald Shadow Wizarding Family.
But one very important thing is the Cuiying family's manor on the fifth floor.
The Horton Wizarding Family could also directly occupy it.
Although Horton never said it outright, he could sense that Horton was quite interested in Cuiying.
Consider it a gift for him.
As for the Cold Wind Wizard...
I owe him a favor, I'll wait for another opportunity...
""
Ian remembered it in his heart.
soon.
The Horton Wizarding School moved to the fifth floor, and because of his current status, the transfer of assets went smoothly.
Just one week.
The school of thought was thus successfully integrated into it.
At the same time, Ian also brought Farn, Sherry, Logan, and Coro to the academy.
Of the four, Farn and Logan are already at the peak of the zero-ring wizard apprenticeship, while the other two are at the third-rank wizard apprenticeship.
It's enough to help him handle some things. If resources are sufficient, he wouldn't mind helping the four of them advance to the next level.
The matters at the college have been resolved.
He then received an invitation from the Edward family.
"Lord Gunnar."
Ian looked down at the vice dean of the Wind Whisper Academy in front of him.
Gunnar looked to be in his forties, but he was definitely older than that. His eyes were a light blue, and there was a faint swirling of wind deep in his pupils.
"My daughter recommended you, but to be honest, your chances of being promoted to a core member in this batch are very small, because the assessment for core disciples has very few academic requirements, but very high requirements for combat ability."
Gunnar said.
Ian is indeed an academic genius, but the problem is that the core disciples need wizards with the potential to advance to the second ring.
Even several academic geniuses often cannot compare to a second-tier university graduate.
It's cruel, but for the college, the Second Ring Road is even more important.
"You didn't get the chance this time, but you can try next time. So I'm willing to give you a grant, providing you with 30,000 contribution points of resources every year."
Gunnar said.
"Thank you, sir."
He stood up and bowed solemnly.
Gunnar waved his hand: "No need to thank me. Thank Nicole if you want to thank someone; I'm just giving her face."
He stood up and said to Ian, "Go, cultivate diligently. Of course, if you are fortunate enough to pass the preliminary test, you can come back to me."
"Thank you, sir."
Ian bowed again before leaving.
"Ian, how did it go?"
Nicole was already waiting outside the door, and when she saw Ian come out, she quickly asked.
"Yes, thank you."
Ian nodded.
"That's good." Nicole smiled, but she was a little unhappy when she learned that Ian had only received contribution points as a subsidy.
"Family funding is divided into three tiers, with contribution point funding being the lowest," Nicole said, about to go in and argue.
But Ian stopped him.
After much persuasion, the matter was finally resolved.
"All right."
Nicole understood that this was indeed the case, and Gunnar had also left him an opening.
However, we'll have to wait until he passes the preliminary test.
This made Ian curious about what the preliminary test would actually cover, and he planned to ask Flynn when he returned the following month.
And in the following days.
In addition to his regular cultivation, Ian also attempted to cultivate in deeper parts of the Wind Abyss.
Both his supplementary sorcery and his Wind Step have improved rapidly.
same.
He took some time to visit the Pierce family and discussed a collaboration, mainly concerning some zero-ring materials.
These are things Ian obtained after upgrading some skills to the master level in the past.
Of course, both setting up a production line and starting sales take time.
In the blink of an eye.
Another month has passed.
With all-out war drawing ever closer, there's something else on Ian's mind.
A new annual performance review.
