Mage Adam Chapter 25: Lesson 1
Except for Adam who was speechless all night, the other apprentices gathered together and excitedly discussed the new life that had begun to take shape. The extraordinary profession of mages was finally in a place where they could actually touch.
After all, they were just underage children, and the temporary conflict did not leave such a strong shadow in their hearts. After getting together, Randy quickly put the unhappiness just now behind his head and turned to worry. Another problem - his soul gift, curse.
Obviously, the curse is not included in the common category, which is embarrassing because it does not mean it is powerful, but because it is useless.
Quentin patted him comfortably, and said, "Master Mage once said that although soul affinity is important, it is not the main factor in whether you can become a Mage. You don't have to worry about it. Hmph, I think you should be worried. It's that guy."
Everyone knew that he was talking about Adam, and Krystal, who was still pure and kind in his heart, said worriedly: "Is it really good for us to isolate Adam like this? After all, we come from the same place, shouldn't we Help? And Master Mage didn't say that it's not Adam's fault." Kristall was referring to the fact that Adam chose to smash the rune group at the end.
Randy snorted coldly and said, "We didn't want to isolate him, I think he looked down on us. Seeing how he looked, he might have laughed at us as fools in his heart. Well, he'll do it for him. Arrogance pays the price."
"But..."
"We are about to come into contact with more advanced knowledge, and our strength will become stronger and stronger. He thought it was a ship that he could make a fortune? Those apprentices from the Mage Continent are not friendly to us. At this time, we do not choose Unite and still stand alone," Quentin said sarcastically, "I'm waiting for the day he comes to us for help."
Ophelia found the conversation a bit harsh. She remembered what Adam said a month ago. The weak alliance has no meaning. I don't know why these words kept appearing in her heart, which made her upset: "Okay. Now, I think we should rest, being late on the first day will definitely leave a bad impression in the Master's mind."
After Ophelia finished speaking, she went straight away. She and Krystal lived in the same room. After the door was closed, Krystal said softly, "Miss Ophelia, we are blaming Adam. , isn't it?"
Ophelia's footsteps stopped for a while. After all, she didn't say anything, and Crystal didn't ask any further questions, and returned to the room alone.
Early the next morning, Adam finished the rune sketching all night, contacted the spiritual power to solidify the rune and optimized it until now, and he had a vague idea. Just as a magic is composed of rune groups, can the spiritual power solidification runes be outlined in groups, and through different rune structures, they can be formed into another more complex pattern, Is it possible to strengthen the spiritual power more efficiently?
Thinking of this, Adam couldn't help but look forward to the course even more. From today onwards, the mage's practice will be systematically guided, which is far more efficient than crossing the river by feeling the stones alone.
He is still the senior apprentice who led the way yesterday. He unified the new batch of apprentices and distributed the basic materials needed for life in Moldo College, including gray robes, tokens representing identity, and detailed maps. Of course, these are charges.
The academy's work efficiency is very high. The contribution of the desert island apprentices on the ship has been settled overnight. Everyone saw that Adam's hands were obviously more than everyone's power stones and the secondary ether crystals he obtained. dissatisfaction even more.
Adam first carefully read the course timetable. It seems that the first year is indeed a compulsory education stage. The time of all courses is staggered to ensure that the apprentices will not miss one course because of another. The first class this morning was rune knowledge.
The location of the major facilities in the academy is marked on the map. Adam was attracted by a building called the Mission Hall. At this moment, the senior apprentice happened to say: "Except for the first year, there is almost no free in the academy. Things exist, even if they are free for a while, they will pay a greater price in the future. However, the academy encourages apprentices to create value for themselves. If you feel that the resources are not enough, you can go to the task hall to accept tasks, and the rewards will not disappoint.”
Speaking of this, his expression was a little weird: "Also, some tasks will bring you a very exciting experience. But you are lucky, because the tower just lost in the war, the number of apprentices is much less than in previous years, With a massive backlog of unfinished tasks, you could probably easily support yourself, if you weren't really stupid."
"Take your identity token and enter the room information. From now on, your dormitory will be your private territory. You have the right to kill any trespasser without any responsibility. Power stones can also be deposited into tokens, and the cafeteria provides this service with only one percent of the handling fee."
The senior apprentice left after speaking. According to the class schedule, the newcomers must now hurry to enjoy breakfast and start their first class.
The cafeteria of the academy is huge and divided into two areas. There is no mage in it. Obviously, the mage will not eat with the apprentices.
The meals provided by the cafeteria in the first district are not ordinary food, most of which are monster meat with special energy. The huge light curtain will clearly mark the price of each food, and explain their effects one by one.
For example: the whole bright bird, the price of ten units of energy stone, has a weak effect of purifying spiritual power. The whole fear fish, the price of four units of energy stone, has the effect of slightly eliminating mental fatigue. In addition to these foods with special functions, there is also the cheapest ordinary monster meat, which has no effect and is worth 0.5 units of power stones.
Adam walked to the window and put the power stone in his hand into the identity token. The number was about 800 units. Obviously, this was not enough for a long time. He had to find a stable source of income, otherwise he would be hungry. Danger of death.
The other members of the desert island apprentice looked very embarrassed. The number of power stones they got was less. Even if they only ate the cheapest food every day, they were a little stretched. food.
This made the local apprentices on the side even more disdainful of them. As indigenous people, even if their parents were not mages, they still worked for mages. The rewards they received on weekdays were also power stones. Naturally, they were much richer than the desert island apprentices.
"Poor ghost." Someone said in disdain.
The disdainful voice made their faces flush, William and Ophelia sighed softly. In any case, at least on the first day, the two of them could not see their companions so embarrassed.
"Okay guys, everything will be fine, now, come with me." William patted Quentin and Randy and said softly.
Adam came to the first area alone and sat down. There was a menu on each table. Adam curiously ordered the bright bird in the first row of the menu. A protrusion rose on the table, and Adam swiped the identity token on Above, the cost is automatically deducted, and then a mechanical puppet comes to offer food.
These mechanical puppets are all masterpieces of alchemists. Although they are used for service, Adam can still feel the tyrannical aura emanating from their energy cores. It can be said that such a puppet is definitely not something that Adam can resist now.
The taste of the food is not worthy of their expensive price. The body of the monster is as huge as ever. This monster called bird is more abundant than the turkey on the earth. Adam cut a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, strong The deliciousness exploded between the taste buds, bringing him great pleasure.
"No wonder the mages seldom eat at the banquets in the past. It turns out that the food in the mages continent is so delicious."
The deliciousness of the food makes Adam, who has never cared about low-level enjoyment, a little obsessed. With the process of eating, the special energy in the food is also integrated into the body, purifying the spiritual power. The effect of speaking is not very big, it can only be said that it is better than nothing~IndoMTL.com~ For whatever reason, the first meal of the first day, all the apprentices came to the first area. The admiration in their hearts is just that the apprentices on the desert island are a little worried after enjoying it.
Adam left the cafeteria alone after destroying his food, and followed the map to the rune knowledge class.
Because it is a low-level free course, there are no senior apprentices here. There is still half an hour before the scheduled time, and the tutor is not present. Adam randomly chose a seat and waited quietly.
Not long after, the other apprentices also arrived. One second before the class time, the instructor walked into the classroom on time, without any nonsense, and said directly: "James, my name, the high-level mage apprentice. You don't You need to call me a tutor, I will only explain all the knowledge once, if you don’t understand, you can come to me after class, but there will be a fee for make-up lessons.”
Adam temporarily stopped the tasks of the other threads and stared intently at James.
"Today is about runic qualities and meditation."
Adam realized that he had wasted an opportunity. He didn't expect that the first lesson of the apprentice would teach the nature of runes.
Sure enough, James's statement was not different from what Master Black told him at the beginning, and the other apprentices did not express any surprise. Obviously, this is just the foundation of the foundation.
"Next is meditation."
"The name of Meditation is the ancient name of the Mage Plane. Now it has another name, it is called the Spiritual Power Solidification Rune Group, but because it is too mouthy, most mages still call it that."
Adam keenly captured James' words, the rune group, and sure enough, the spiritual power solidification rune does not exist alone.
