Seeing Colin's somewhat somber expression, the female apprentice changed tacks and spoke again to comfort him:
"But for the vast majority of Wizard Apprentices, they never manage to become Official Wizards in their lifetimes… At least with your current strength, you're considered powerful among apprentices."
Her voice grew softer as she spoke, as though she realized her attempt at consolation was ineffective and simply chose to close her mouth.
After all, if not for the aspiration to become an Official Wizard, to attain greater power, who would go through such effort to join a School…
"It's fine, thank you for letting me know," Colin nodded, not taking the female apprentice's words as mockery.
He simply let out a sigh and gathered his spirit again.
Regardless of how low the chances of becoming an Official Wizard were, as long as the probability wasn't zero, he believed that with his own efforts, he would eventually advance.
