Young guy has relatively sucky life as peasant, but when a magic user comes to town and takes him under his wing, the boy's life is turned around and he starts learning to use magic.
I believe there are 3 books, and I remember details/parts about each of them:
In the first, the young guy has to retrieve some artifact to become a Journeyman in the mage order.
In the second, the young guy and his party journey to the Elf kingdom, which is beautiful and majestic. However, not all is as it seems, and the young wizard begins to understand that the beauty of the landscape is an illusion, a curse for the elves. Flowers which appear blooming are actually molted, smelling of rotted meat. Food and drink at the feast appears delectable, but to the young wizard is spoiled and revolting. The young wizard talks with the elf king, who explains the curse on his people.
In the third (and potentially last), the young wizard has to save some castle that is being attacked by evil wizards. At one point some enemy magic-user opens a portal within the castle and demons start flooding through it, killing everyone inside. The young wizard uses a ceremonial dagger to draw runes in his own blood to dispel the circle and save everyone.
I remember them being particularly awesome books, with surprisingly adult plot points given that they were for youngsters. I read them a long time ago in Elementary School.

Can you tell us when you were in elementary school?

Sounds like the Circle of Magic series that I read as a kid--the first one is called School of Wizardry. There were 6 books in the series when I read them as a kid, sometime in the 90's, though it looks like there are more now. The plots you've described sound a lot like the various books in the series, but out of order--for instance, the Elfland part is in book 6, The High King's Daughter.
