Chapter 15

This false impression did not last long. Soon, everyone knew that Adam's performance that day was just an illusion. The reason for this discovery was because they knew that Adam was extremely talented, so many of them asked him about the problems they encountered when constructing the Spirit Solidification Rune. In the end, they were all forced to retreat by Adam's cold stare.

Adam was only interested in research, but this did not mean that he liked to spend his time being a teacher and answering those retarded questions.

It was not that no one wanted to teach Adam a lesson out of humiliation, but … it had to be said that although the food on the ship was simple, it contained a lot of energy. Adam actually broke through to the level of a Grand Knight unknowingly, so his popularity with people became worse and worse.

Just like that, two months passed by peacefully. During these two months, the monotonous scenery of the outside world could no longer attract the attention of the apprentices. It was as if the mages had disappeared and no longer cared about them. Thus, the nobles resumed their lives as nobles with endless parties and banquets.

At first, this suggestion was made by a descendant of a noble in the east. He was worried that the sailors would not agree, but when he found out that as long as he paid, the sailors would fulfill all his requests without any discounts, the entire apprentice circle was almost completely ruined. Adam did not participate, and of course, no one invited him. However, he found that the sailors looked at the apprentices with strange and playful eyes.

During these two months, Adam had been maintaining multithreaded calculations, fully optimizing the rune structure. With the support of his computing power, the mission was progressing well. He had found a three-dimensional structure that could steadily support his Spirit Output, but he found another problem. Unlike what he imagined before, Adam thought that after the rune structure became three-dimensional, he could inject his Spirit Output, but it was not possible.

In that case, what could be stored inside the hollow space?

Adam vaguely had a guess. These days, he found that after the dispersion of his Spirit Output, a large amount of Number Two Special Energy was produced. Adam had tried to inject Number Two Special Energy into the rune, but it ended with the rune shattering and intense pain in his soul.

Due to the lack of samples and sufficient data, Adam was unable to come to a conclusion. However, he wasn't in a hurry. These questions shouldn't be too profound, and he would definitely be able to get the answers once he arrived at the academy.

One morning not long after that, the mages who had not appeared for more than two months appeared at the same time. They gathered everyone on the deck and brought a piece of news that left everyone dumbfounded and in disbelief.

"We've now sailed into the inner sea of the Magi's Continent. From now on, every second we move forward means that the amount of Ether in the sea is getting higher and higher. This is what I call a high-magic environment."

"Ether comes from every corner of the multidimensional space. It can't be seen or touched. Only spiritual power can sense and react with it. If knowledge is the origin of mages, then Ether is the key to turning knowledge into power. "

"The power produced after the spiritual power comes into contact with Ether is called magic power. Only those with magic power can cast spells. "

Mage Black directly explained this knowledge, and everyone was mesmerized by it.

"Maybe some of you have already discovered the secret of the spiritual power solidification rune. That's right, the ultimate goal of drawing it is to store magic power." Adam's eyes lit up.

"But don't be too happy yet. You're just an apprentice, and your souls are weak. You won't be able to withstand the power of magic power." Mage Black suddenly revealed a strange smile that was similar to the sailors.

"But this is already enough. If you're smart enough, you should be able to survive."

Mage Black's words changed too quickly. A second ago, he was still teaching knowledge, and the next second, he was talking about life and death. The apprentices didn't know how to react.

Mage Black waved his hand and drew three runes in the air. He then said, "From now on, the outer defense circle of the Moldova College will be removed. Do you know about the magical beasts? There are countless of them in the sea. You'll have to face them head-on in the coming days. Only those who make it to the shore alive will be qualified to become apprentices. "

The mages turned around and walked out. The apprentices were stunned by the news. When they were at the door, Mage Irene turned around and said, "Remember this set of fireball runes. The sailors and I won't help you. Do you want to live? Try your best. "

After the mages and sailors left, the apprentices cried out, "How can we do this? We'll die if we fight the magical beasts. No one will survive! "

Their desperate voices caused a chain reaction. They tried to leave the deck and return to the ship, but they found that all the entrances were blocked by the mages. They couldn't break in no matter how hard they tried.

The ignorant ones were happy for a while. For example, Corestal naively asked Ophelia, "What's a magical beast?"

Ophelia had never seen a magical beast before, but she knew that the precious ointment she used for her training was made from the bodies of magical beasts. She heard that those creatures could even tear apart a grand knight.

"We're in big trouble," Ophelia murmured, staring blankly at Corestal.

At this moment, there were probably only two people on the deck who did not feel alarmed by this. The first was Adam. He had expected that things would not be so simple. There were no tuition fees, travel fees, or appraisal fees. It seemed a little too perfect to simply bring them to the academy and impart knowledge to them so that they could become Extraordinaries. It was so perfect that Adam thought it was compulsory education.

The second was William Alfred. He had a father who used to be an apprentice. He had already told him everything they would encounter along the way and made ample preparations. William even saw this as an opportunity for him to establish his leadership.

That was what he thought, and that was what he did. He clapped his hands and said loudly, "Everyone, calm down. Panicking won't solve anything. There are only two paths in front of us now. Survive and become a mage apprentice, or die in the sea and feed the magical beasts. Quit? That's impossible. "

When people were helpless, they would instinctively look for a pillar of support. William played this role perfectly and successfully attracted everyone's attention.

William was very satisfied. His father had told him that the path of a mage was never peaceful. There were countless battles due to various reasons. In many cases, the power of a single person was insignificant. However, if one had an organization and became a leader, that insignificance would undoubtedly be greatly improved.

"We need to unite. The magical beasts are very strong, but they are not invincible. The great mages will never put us in a situation where we will definitely die. The great mages only hope to eliminate some useless people," William continued.

Eliminate useless people. These four words pierced into the hearts of the nobles who were enjoying themselves day and night. If there were any, it would be them. Even now, there were still people who couldn't master the spirit solidification rune.

"But don't worry. As long as we unite, everyone can survive," William said loudly with confidence.

The apprentices in the south had always followed William's lead. The greasy-haired Tom interrupted at the right time. "Mr. William, what should we do?"

William looked at Tom with satisfaction and then said, "Perhaps some people still don't know what a magical beast is. I want to tell everyone that it is not an ordinary strong wild beast. Magical beasts can use magic just like mages."

The apprentices who knew what a magical beast was stared at William, waiting for his solution. The apprentices who didn't know, like Corestal, suddenly turned pale.

William continued, "We need an organization. We need someone to unite everyone's power. Only then can we have a chance of defeating the magical beasts. Randy, Quentin, Ophelia, and Adam, what do you think? " Randy was the apprentice in the west who had the talent for cursing. As for why he added Adam, it was because he always remembered his father's advice.

William expressed his thoughts. He believed that under such circumstances, no one would reject such a beneficial suggestion.

Ophelia was the first to speak. "I agree. However, we still need to discuss how to unite them."

Randy and Quentin also nodded, indicating that they had no objections.

William knew that this matter was settled. As long as he showed enough leadership in this alliance, he would be able to gain the support of this group of apprentices. In the unfamiliar environment of Moldova College, he would have a certain amount of power.

Only Adam remained silent. He didn't even turn his head and stared at the Fireball Rune Group floating in the sky without blinking.

William felt a little uneasy. He asked Adam in a gentle tone, "Adam, what do you think?"

Adam actually heard their words. He always had a thread to receive information from the outside world. However, this thread would automatically filter out useless information. It was obvious that to Adam, William's words were rubbish.

"Adam?" Ophelia went forward and patted his arm. Adam turned his head and looked at Ophelia expressionlessly. His eyes were unfocused. All of his computing power was focused on the composition of the Rune Group.

Ophelia actually felt fear at this moment. She couldn't help but think of Earl Johnson's words. He was not the same kind and had no feelings. Could it be true?

Ophelia suppressed this thought and simply repeated William's words to Adam. Even she didn't think that there was anything wrong with this decision requiring Adam's consent. However, someone didn't think so.

"He's just a commoner. So what if he has some talent? Why does our alliance need to seek his opinion?"

At the same time, Adam's logical thoughts sent a notification: Rune Group recorded successfully. Construction successful. Level 5 Fireball spell received.

Adam turned his gaze to the apprentice who spoke. He was still expressionless. That apprentice couldn't help but take a step back and said, "What, am I wrong?"
