Natalia Chan remained silent, gazing out the window. She didn't want to continue the conversation.

"Don't worry, I won't talk to anyone about this, and you can rest assured that as a teacher, I don't want my students to be in danger," Teacher Malok smiled kindly. "However, I do hope you will focus on your inherent talent and not waste it."

"I understand," Natalia Chan nodded, "But I'm surprised. Why are you so calm about this, teacher?"

"To be honest, I can't really explain it myself. Maybe it's because I've lived for too long and nothing surprises me anymore," Malok shook his head. "By the way, why did you leave the office earlier?"

"It was because someone asked me to deliver a package to the Casting Tower."

"The Casting Tower, I see. So that's why you were provoked when you came back."

"Yes."

Malok nodded, somewhat helplessly, and said to Natalia Chan.

"I think you already know the reason why those nobles are targeting you."

Natalia Chan squinted, loosening her fist, and replied with a cold smile.

"I know."

"In this world, nobles and commoners are like people from two different worlds. If you had stayed in the commoner district, you wouldn't have encountered this kind of thing."

"There are exceptions to everything. Besides, starting from tomorrow, I will go to the Casting Tower every day."

"Why?"

"A master named Gute accepted me as his apprentice and wants me to become a caster."

"Oh? Gute, that guy has a stubborn temperament, and he actually took on an apprentice?"

Natalia Chan scratched her cheek. "Master Gute said my physique is better, and I seem to have some talent for forging, so..."

"I see. Indeed, your physique is much better than those nobles' fancy postures, and there are some signs of forging. However, since you're going to come every day, you must have something to indicate your identity, otherwise, it would be quite helpless to be stared at by the guards every day."

"Oh, now that you mention it, it seems to be true." Natalia Chan scratched her head in distress. He had actually forgotten about that.

Malok smiled slightly and took out a badge made of half gold and half silver from the drawer, handing it over.

"Take this. If the guards ask, just tell them that I gave it to you."

"Ah, but this badge looks precious. It's not good for me to take it, right?"

"It's fine. This broken thing only serves as an indication of identity in this academy. It's useless to me. The people who know me already know, and those who don't probably belong to the commoner district."

Natalia Chan was a little conflicted. His mother had warned him not to accept things from strangers, but if he didn't have this badge, he would have a lot of trouble in the future.

"Okay then, I'll take it. Thank you, Teacher Malok."

"You're welcome. I have a bit of a friendship with Gute as well, so it's only right for me to help since he took you as his apprentice."

As soon as Natalia Chan heard this, her heart started racing. Starting from tomorrow, she would be a member of the casting world, and the rank of a caster would definitely be a goal for her!

Casters are divided into seven ranks: apprentice caster, primary caster, intermediate caster, advanced caster, casting king, casting emperor, and casting deity. The things they forge become more powerful as they progress.

In the casting world, there is a poem that has become a myth, and Natalia Chan had read it once, but could never forget it.

This poem has become legendary in the casting world, and all casters strive for it. Ancient books record that there was a casting deity who appeared on the continent, and every weapon and armor he forged could turn an ordinary person into an unbeatable existence with super divine artifacts!

The casting deity of Norsted Land only exists in history, and whether such a great figure truly appeared is still a subject of debate. But there is no denying that the existence of a casting deity is a formidable figure that can make the entire continent tremble.

Natalia Chan unconsciously clenched her fist and recited the poem that was hailed as a myth in a low voice.

"The caster refines the body with ceaseless wind, the casting king controls the prison of fire, the casting emperor inherits the five clouds, the casting deity's soul shakes and beckons the divine thunder!""Oh, I didn't expect you, little brat, to know this poem."

"I saw it in a book by chance," Natalia Chan scratched her head a little embarrassedly and continued to ask, "What level of blacksmith is Master Gute?"

Malok straightened his beard proudly and smiled, "A beginner blacksmith."

Upon hearing this, Natalia Chan's eyes lit up and she asked excitedly, "Master Gute is already a beginner blacksmith!?"

"Oh? Didn't you ask him?" Malok asked.

"No, he didn't mention it, and I forgot to ask," Natalia Chan replied.

"Don't underestimate the blacksmiths, young one. If they can forge a good weapon, they will be renowned. Under normal circumstances, I would strongly oppose you learning blacksmithing because it requires too much time and it's better to meditate and train in combat. However, I can see that even though you have the 'Body of Fire Immunity,' your fire magic is nonexistent. The flame needle you performed on the square just now should be your entire magic, isn't it?" Malok looked at Natalia Chan with a hint of pride.

Natalia Chan sighed lightly with disappointment, feeling powerless. Malok's words were true - her magical ability was really low, almost non-existent. If it weren't for being able to see those small flames, she probably wouldn't have been able to come to this academy.

"Don't be disheartened, little one. Even with low magical ability, it is still possible to become a formidable mage. Don't forget, you have the skill of fire immunity, unlike others," Malok consoled.

"But this skill is useless against opponents stronger than myself. Besides, this Body of Fire Immunity can only resist flames. How could it be that all my enemies will conveniently use fire magic every time..." Natalia Chan explained.

"Indeed, that's something you will need to consider in the future. For now, focus on learning blacksmithing from Gute," Malok suggested.

"I understand."

The chime of the second class seemed to have waited for the conversation between the two to end before it sounded. Natalia Chan heard it and said to Malok,

"Well, teacher, I'll go back now. The second class is about to start."

"Alright, be careful on your way, little one. If the guards stop you, just show them my badge," Malok said.

"Got it." Natalia Chan nodded and passed the badge back to Malok.

"Please return this badge to Teacher Kino," she said.

"Okay."

After saying that, Natalia Chan turned and walked to the door, bowing to Malok.

"Thank you for your help, teacher. I'll go back now."

"Take care."

After Natalia Chan left, Malok leaned back in his chair, a satisfied smile on his face, and murmured, "Gute, you really found a good talent. Although she's a commoner, her manners are like a true noble, and she's also the one in a million with the 'Fire Immune Body'."
