Chapter 8 First-Class Wizard Apprentice, The Astonished Crowd
Chapter 8 First-Class Wizard Apprentice, The Astonished Crowd
"A first-class wizard apprentice."
As dusk fell, Ian slowly exhaled a long breath.
On the last day with five weeks remaining, he successfully advanced to the rank of First-Class Wizard Apprentice.
This not only meant that he had successfully escaped the three-month penalty period and become a member of the school.
Similarly, there is a reward of five magic stones.
"However, compared to these, the changes in the body are the most significant."
Ian looked around.
His eyesight was still pretty good, but now it was like two completely different worlds compared to before.
He could see even the dust in the corner of the wall in the distance clearly.
Moreover, everything around him gave him a sense of exhilaration, as if he had been freed from some kind of constraint.
not only that.
Ian clenched his fists, feeling his body.
He felt that he had a better grasp of his body.
They quickly arrived at the open space and began practicing the Lionheart Knight Technique.
Movements that were previously difficult to perform became much easier with the help of mental power.
After one round, the knight's squire gained a full five experience points.
You should know that before, it was only two or three o'clock.
"It seems that I will be able to become a full-fledged knight in just a few days."
Ian pondered.
Upon being promoted to a full-fledged knight, his physical abilities become 1.5 times that of a normal person, which greatly enhances his survivability.
The only downside is that as you progress through the meditation techniques to mastery, the rate of increase in proficiency slows down.
On average, it's only six or seven o'clock a day, a slight decrease.
......
Day two.
Ian got up as usual, meditated once, and then the sun slowly rose.
Step outside.
Logan happened to be passing by.
"Ian, let's go together," Logan said.
Ian nodded.
As the two drew closer, Logan suddenly raised an eyebrow.
Looking at the familiar Ian before him, he felt that the person in front of him seemed to have changed in some way.
He couldn't tell, but the feeling was definitely there.
"What's wrong?"
Ian seemed to notice something was off about him.
"It's alright, it's alright, let's hurry up and go, don't be late."
Logan waved his hand, thinking it was probably because he had gone to bed late the night before.
Soon, the two arrived at the teaching area.
Before even entering the classroom, I heard a commotion.
Upon entering, all they saw was a group of people standing around Rune and Merlin.
The two men held their heads high, their faces full of smugness.
Amidst the surrounding commotion, the two quickly realized what had happened.
"Five more weeks until I condense the spiritual power runes. Is this what a third-tier talent is?"
Emily from the mutual aid society walked over, her face full of envy.
"yes."
Sherry, who was standing to the side with her ample bosom, nodded in agreement.
"Why."
William also looked utterly defeated and very sad.
"Third-class talent."
Logan pursed his lips but said nothing.
This complex feeling ended with Victor's arrival.
Victor walked into the classroom as usual, carrying a wizard's book.
The lessons were taught in the usual way.
The students below were distracted, clearly not focused on the lesson, even Rune and Merlin were no exception.
Ian listened attentively and took notes on what Victor was saying.
Seeing this, Victor nodded.
His gaze swept over the object, and for a fleeting moment his pupils dilated slightly, as if he had seen something surprising.
"interesting."
Victor's eyes flickered.
The lecture ended quickly.
The same routine as usual.
"Raise your hand if you've successfully completed the first part of the project."
This time, most people raised their hands, but some people turned pale and their bodies trembled.
Clearly, their first part was still unsuccessful, and they were destined to become slaves to the school of thought.
"Raise your hand if you succeeded in Part Two."
This time, almost half of the people raised their hands, after all, there was only a little over a month left.
This time, Ian did not raise his hand.
Many members of the mutual aid society noticed this scene.
"It seems we've successfully condensed the third part." Logan was overjoyed.
Others were also happy for him.
"Luck." Harman remained dismissive, because he had successfully condensed the third part just last week.
So what if my meditation is better than his?
Talent is the decisive factor.
Part Three.
Upon hearing Victor's voice, Harman quickly raised his hand and looked at Ian with a smug expression.
But they found that Ian still hadn't raised his hand.
"???"
Logan, who was standing to the side with his hand raised, looked at Ian with some confusion.
"Ian."
Ian's deskmate, Colo, nudged his shoulder to remind him that he had by then become one of Ian's biggest fans.
But Ian remained unmoved.
"Could it be?"
Incredulity flickered in Koro's eyes, and a certain thought flashed through them.
That can't be right, can it?
Part Four.
Looking at Harvey raising his hand high in the distance, Luo Ling, a third-order star, lowered her head.
"So fast."
Logan, standing to the side, was somewhat taken aback to see Harvey raise his hand, because he was still a little short.
only.....
Turning to look at Ian, who was still motionless, he was filled with astonishment.
Even now, he never considered the possibility that Ian could directly condense a mental energy rune.
After all, he had only condensed two parts before.
Another reason is that although he thought highly of Ian, the difference in talent still made him instinctively feel that he was stronger than Ian.
This is not a sign of looking down on you.
It's just a habit.
"Raise your hand if you have successfully condensed a mental energy rune," Victor said.
Brush brush!
Three hands quickly rose.
Runes.
Merlin.
Ian.
It was as if a metal bomb had exploded in the classroom, leaving everyone somewhat shocked.
I was not shocked by the first two, but by the latter.
"It was successfully condensed as expected; this kind of mental energy fluctuation cannot be faked."
Victor's gaze at Ian grew increasingly interested.
This kid gave him quite a few surprises.
"How is that possible?"
Some of the people who had been watching Ian stared blankly at his raised hand, as if instinctively believing him.
No one dared to tease Victor at this time.
In other words, unless Ian has gone mad, he has truly succeeded in condensing the mental power rune.
"Are you kidding me?"
Logan also looked completely bewildered.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss, it's even more exaggerated than I guessed." Koro's eyes were overflowing with admiration.
In the distance, Emily and Sherry pursed their lips, their eyes fixed intently on Ian.
"It's fake, isn't it?"
Harman sat in the chair, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He initially thought he had surpassed Ian, but it turned out that it was just Ian deliberately hiding his abilities.
"Why? Because he's a serf."
His lips trembled, and a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes.
"he?"
Rune and Merlin exchanged a glance, both noticing each other's surprise.
Ian, who was rejected by them, actually advanced in the same period as them.
This is absolutely outrageous!
Despite the stares of the crowd, Ian remained calm.
From the very beginning, he never intended to hide anything.
It's not just the reward of magic stones.
Furthermore, the difference before and after successfully condensing the mental energy rune is enormous, which Victor can definitely sense.
Actually, there's one more thing.
His cheat code requires a lot of resources, especially knowledge-based resources.
But those might be even harder to obtain than magic stones.
But if someone is a genius, that's a different story.
He hopes to disguise himself as a knowledge-based genius, and he'll start doing it now.
This way it won't seem out of place.
"Ian, you three come with me, I'll take you to register."
"Victor said, and walked out of the classroom."
Merlin and Rune followed, but their eyes kept glancing at Ian.
Ian got up and followed.
Walk past the classroom.
All eyes were on him; he was a completely different person from the nobody he once was.
