The public students at the Magic Royal Academy are mostly boys and girls around ten years of age. Since the students are generally young and the number is no more than twenty or thirty.
Because most public students come from poor, remote mountain villages and cannot afford the high miscellaneous fees, the school has allocated two spacious houses for them to live in.
In the two rooms, all are beginner students. When Yun Sheng asked why there were no intermediate public students,
She learned from Gu Feng that intermediate students are no longer public students.
Intermediate students at the Magic Academy are at least Great Magic Directors; they can go outside to work as Hunter Soldiers or Family Mages part-time, and no longer need to worry about tuition fees.
