Chapter 25

Other than Adam, who did not speak for the whole night, the other wizard apprentices gathered together and excitedly discussed their new life. The extraordinary profession of a wizard was finally at a place where they could actually touch it.

After all, they were still underage children. A moment of conflict did not leave such a deep shadow in their hearts. After gathering together, Randy quickly put the unhappiness behind him and began to worry about another problem — his soul talent, curses.

Obviously, curses were not included in the normal category. Awkwardly, this did not mean that it was powerful. Instead, it meant that it was useless.

Quentin patted him comfortingly and said, "The great wizard once said that although soul affinity is important, it is not the main factor in whether or not one can become a wizard. You don't have to worry so much. Hmph, I think the one who should be worried is that guy. "

Everyone knew that he was talking about Adam. Corestal, who still maintained her pure and kind heart, said with some concern, "Is it really good for us to isolate Adam like this? After all, we came from the same place. Shouldn't we help each other? And didn't the great wizard say that Adam was not to be blamed for that matter? "Corestal was referring to Adam's choice to destroy the runic group at the last moment.

Randy snorted and said, "We did not want to isolate him. I think he is the one who looks down on us. Look at him. Maybe he is laughing at us for being fools in his heart. Hmph, he will pay the price for his arrogance. "

"But …"

"We are about to come into contact with more advanced knowledge. We will become stronger and stronger. Does he still think that this is a ship where he can ride roughshod over others? That group of wizard apprentices from the Continent of Wizards are not friendly to us. At this time, they did not choose to unite and are still acting alone, "Quentin said sarcastically." I will wait for the day when he comes to us for help. "

Ophelia felt that the conversation was a little harsh. She remembered what Adam said a month ago, that there was no meaning in a weak alliance. She did not know why, but this sentence kept appearing in her mind, and it made her upset. "Well, I think we should rest. Being late on the first day will definitely leave a bad impression on the mage."

Ophelia said and left. She and Corestal stayed in the same room. After the door closed, Corestal said softly, "Miss Ophelia, we've wronged Adam, haven't we?"

Ophelia's footsteps paused, but she didn't say anything in the end. Corestal didn't pursue the matter and returned to her room alone.

Early the next morning, Adam finished a night of rune sketching. He came into contact with the spirit power solidification rune and optimized it until now. He had a vague idea. Just like how a spell was made up of groups of runes, the spirit power solidification rune could also be sketched in groups. Through different rune structures, it could be combined into a more complex pattern. Would it be more effective to strengthen the spirit power?

Thinking of this, Adam couldn't help but look forward to the classes. From today onwards, the mage's training would receive systematic guidance. This was far more efficient than crossing the river by feeling the stones on his own.

It was still the senior apprentice who led the way yesterday. He gathered the new batch of apprentices together and gave them the basic necessities for life in Moldova College, including a gray robe, a token that represented their identity, and a detailed map. Of course, these were all charged.

The college was very efficient. In just one night, the contribution of the apprentices on the deserted island on the ship had been calculated. Seeing that Adam obviously had more energy stones than everyone else and the Lesser Ether crystal in his hands, the students were even more dissatisfied with him.

Adam first carefully read the class schedule. It seemed that the first year was indeed compulsory. All the classes were staggered to ensure that the apprentices would not miss another class because of one class. And the first class this morning was about runes.

The map marked the location of the major facilities in the college. Adam was attracted by a building called the mission hall. At this moment, the senior apprentice said, "Except for the first year, there is almost nothing free in the college. Even if it's free now, you will have to pay a higher price in the future. But the college encourages the apprentices to create their own value. If you feel that you don't have enough resources, you can go to the mission hall to accept missions. The rewards will not disappoint. "

Speaking of this, his expression became a little strange. "Also, some missions will give you very exciting experiences. However, your batch is very lucky. Due to the recent defeat of the tower in the war, the number of apprentices is much less than in previous years, resulting in a large backlog of tasks that no one can complete. You can probably easily support yourselves, if you are not really stupid. "

"Take your identity token and enter your room information. From now on, your dormitory is your private territory. You have the right to kill trespassers without any responsibility. The energy stones you have can also be stored in the token. The cafeteria provides this service, and only charges one percent of the service fee. "

The senior apprentice finished and left. According to the class schedule, the newcomers now had to seize the time to enjoy breakfast and then start their first class.

The college cafeteria was very large and divided into two areas. There were no signs of mages in it. Obviously, mages would not eat together with the apprentices.

The first area cafeteria did not provide ordinary food. Most of the food was magical beast meat that contained special energy. The huge screen clearly marked the price of each food, and explained their effects one by one.

For example, a whole Radiant Bird cost ten energy stones. It had the effect of purifying spiritual force. A whole Dinofish cost four energy stones. It had the effect of dispelling spiritual exhaustion. Other than these foods with special effects, there was also the cheapest ordinary magical beast meat. It had no effect and cost 5.0 energy stones.

Adam walked to the window and stored the energy stones in his hand into his identity token. There were about eight hundred units in total. Obviously, this was not enough to support him for long. He had to find a stable source of income. Otherwise, he would be in danger of starving to death.

The other apprentices on the deserted island looked embarrassed. They had received fewer energy stones. Even if they only ate the cheapest food every day, it was still a little hard to make ends meet. Before they had a source of income, they could only choose to go to the second area to eat some ordinary food.

This made the local apprentices even more disdainful of them. As natives, even if their parents were not mages, they still worked for the mages. They also received energy stones as remuneration. Naturally, they were more generous than the deserted island apprentices.

"Paupers," someone said disdainfully.

The disdainful voice made their faces turn red. William and Ophelia sighed softly. No matter what, at least the two of them could not bear to see their companions so embarrassed on the first day.

"Alright, guys. Everything will be fine. Now, follow me," William said softly as he patted Quentin and Randy.

Adam went to the first area alone and sat down. There was a menu on every table. Adam curiously ordered the Bird of Light on the first row of the menu. A protrusion rose from the table. Adam swiped his identity token on it. The cost was automatically deducted. Then, a mechanical puppet came to serve him food.

These mechanical puppets were all the masterpieces of alchemy mages. Although they were used for service, Adam could still feel the powerful aura from their energy cores. It could be said that such a puppet was definitely not something that the current Adam could resist.

The taste of the food did not disappoint their expensive price. The bodies of the magical beasts were as huge as usual. This type of magical beast called a bird was even bigger than the turkey on Earth. Adam cut a piece of meat and put it into his mouth. The intense taste exploded between his taste buds, bringing him great joy.

"No wonder the mages rarely ate in the past banquets. The food in the Mage Continent is so delicious."

The taste of the food made Adam, who had never cared about low-level enjoyment, a little obsessed. As he ate, the special energy in the food also merged into his body and purified his mental strength. As the name suggested, it made his mental strength more condensed. However, this was not very useful to Adam. It could only be said that it was better than nothing.

No matter what the reason was, all the apprentices came to the first area for their first meal on the first day. After they tasted the food, they praised it from the bottom of their hearts. However, the apprentices on the deserted island were a little worried after they had tasted the food.

Adam finished his food and left the cafeteria alone. He followed the map and came to the rune knowledge class.

As it was a low-level free class, there were no senior apprentices here. There was still half an hour before the scheduled time, and the tutor was not present. Adam randomly chose a seat and waited quietly.

Not long after, the rest of the apprentices arrived one after another. A second before the class started, the tutor walked into the classroom on time. Without any nonsense, he said directly, "James, my name is Advanced Mage Apprentice. You don't need to call me tutor. I will only explain all the knowledge once. If there is anything you don't understand, you can look for me after class. However, tuition is charged. "

Adam temporarily stopped the tasks of other threads and focused on James.

"Today's topic is the nature of runes and meditation."

Adam realized that he had wasted an opportunity. He did not expect that the first class of the apprentices would be about the nature of runes.

Sure enough, James' explanation was no different from what Mage Black had told him. The other apprentices also did not express any surprise. Obviously, this was just the basics of the basics.

"Next is meditation."

"The name 'meditation' is what the ancient mages called it. It has another name now. It is called the Spiritual Energy Solidification Rune Group. However, because it is too hard to pronounce, most of the mages still call it that."

Adam caught James' words. Rune Group. As expected, the Spiritual Energy Solidification Rune Group did not exist alone.
