Chapter 37

"… Adam, your application has been approved. The location of the laboratory will still be the same as before. Every month, five thousand energy stones will be sent to your laboratory. As for the problem between you two, you can solve it yourselves, "Irene said coldly. She was fine with watching the little ones fight, but if any of the apprentices dared to fight in front of her, she would not allow it.

No apprentice dared to go against the will of an official Magus. No matter how angry they were, they all respectfully left the examination room.

The apprentice named Frank followed the two of them out of the tower. As soon as he stepped into the school grounds, he stepped in front of James and grabbed him by the collar. He lifted James up easily and said angrily, "James, why are you still here?! You idiot, why don't you just die of old age? "

These were vicious words. To a Magus, dying of old age was the most shameful and useless way to die. It meant that their wisdom had reached the end, and their souls had decayed to the point where they could no longer support their existence.

James did not resist and let Frank pick him up. His face was full of regret. "Frank, I'm sorry, but …"

Frank punched James hard in the face and sent him flying. Then he said, "But, you're right. But what? Because you still want to become a Magus, you continue to lie? "

James fell to the ground, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. He still had no intention of fighting back. "No, Frank, let me explain …"

"Shut up, James, you liar!"

Frank did not listen at all. He continued to attack James, but strangely, he did not use any magic. He just waved his fists and legs like a normal person.

Adam frowned. He did not know if he should stop Frank. Punches and kicks could not cause fatal injuries to an apprentice, but the scene in front of him was a little funny.

Adam used Psychokinetic to pull James away and created a barrier in front of him. He then said calmly, "Mr. Frank, I think you should listen to James. What you're doing now has no meaning other than venting. "

Frank turned a deaf ear to Adam's words and continued to punch James, hitting the Psychokinetic barrier. Adam's mind moved, and the barrier rippled. The ripples spread out at an extremely fast speed and then converged again, reflecting the kinetic energy of Frank's punch.

This was the result of Adam seeing that Frank didn't add magic to his attack. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so simple.

Frank was sent flying by the impact.

This also made Frank calm down. He glared at James angrily and said to Adam, "Kid, you should be in this batch of rookies, right? James is a liar. All the research in his mental power laboratory is just a joke. If you are not an idiot, leave him immediately. Otherwise, your path as a mage will be destroyed by him. "

Adam's frown deepened. Although James' research direction was not correct, it definitely did not reach the level of a liar. He said to Frank, "Sir, I think you've misunderstood …"

Unexpectedly, Frank did something unexpected. He took off his shirt, revealing his astonishing upper body — a half mechanical structure. The entire left half of his flesh and blood body was closely connected to the mechanical body. If he hadn't taken off his shirt, there wouldn't have been any dissonance.

"This is an alchemy body? Amazing! " Adam's eyes lit up. Replacing the body with mechanical work, what a fascinating technology!

Frank said with grief and indignation, "Back then, some of my companions and I listened to this liar's words and invested all our time in his laboratory. We firmly believed in the prospects he drew and hoped that we could advance through spiritual power. But dozens of years have passed, and we didn't get anything! Just last year in the battle of the high tower, my companions all died. My Spirit Power is vulnerable in the face of magic and magic. Other than this liar and coward who managed to escape, only I … "Frank slapped the mechanical body with his arm made of flesh and blood, then said," I've become like this, struggling at death's door. "

James closed his eyes in pain. "I'm sorry, Frank. I'm very sorry."

Adam asked curiously, "What's the experience of having an alchemy body?"

Frank said with a bitter smile, "What experience? Pain, unimaginable pain day and night. Also, I've been cut off from elemental magic. Ever since I changed into this body, I can no longer be recognized by the elements. "

James kept repeating the words "I'm sorry".

Frank seemed to have calmed down and no longer had the intention to attack. He looked at James with disgust, and then said, "Shut up, I don't need your apology. It's worthless."

Adam was a little confused. Based on the level of magical technology he had seen so far, if this level of modification could be achieved, there should not be any incompatible reactions. He expressed his doubts. Frank said, "Because it's cheap. I can't afford the price of a better alchemy body."

Frank was not in the mood to continue the conversation. He said to Adam, "As a 'senior', I warn you to stay away from this liar, or you will regret it. Your talent is probably very poor, but don't believe in these crooked methods, or you will not be able to walk the path of a mage. " Frank used two 'else's to express his disdain for James. After that, he put on his clothes and was about to leave.

At this moment, Adam would not let Frank leave just like that. Adam was extremely interested in his body. Furthermore, who knows if using psychokinesis on a cyborg would have a miraculous effect?

"I'm sorry to bring up bad memories, but Mr. Frank, you really misunderstood …"

Frank put on his clothes and thought that Adam was still stubborn. He sneered. "You will regret it."

Adam was helpless. How could this person be so rude? Did he not know that listening to others was the most basic etiquette?

"The applicant and leader of the psychic power laboratory is me."

Frank stopped in his tracks. He could not believe his ears. The leader was a rookie?

"And I've already developed a workable meditation method."

Frank instinctively did not believe it.

"This is the contract of the academic department." Adam took out his final trump card.

Frank stared at the contract and saw that it was real. Of course, no one would dare to lie to a mage. He then muttered to himself, "It's real. What's wrong with this world? I only disappeared for three months, and this rookie actually … "

But he was only surprised for a moment. He then said coldly, "I know." After that, he was about to leave. In his opinion, since it was not James, then this matter had nothing to do with him. So what if the meditation method was successful? He could no longer become a mage. The elemental magic that he loved had closed the door on him forever.

Adam stopped him again. Without waiting for Frank to get angry, he quickly said, "The new meditation method will produce a special effect called Psychokinetic. I believe that this ability can help you and let you regain the favor of the elements." As he spoke, Adam used Psychokinetic to gather the air, and a series of wind blades and wind bullets quickly shot into the air.

Frank was stunned. He looked at the ground that was shattered by the "magic" and then looked at Adam. After a few times, his eyes showed a strong hope. He said to Adam, "What you said, is it true?"

Adam spread his hands. "Obviously, sir."

Frank jogged over and took the contract from Adam's hands. He read the words on it, his eyes flickering. On one hand, his rationality told him that it was impossible. On the other hand, his emotions told him that there was hope.

"There, there is actually such a thing that can achieve the effect of magic purely through the materialization of spiritual power." He chose to ignore the word "low-level" and was completely occupied by the word "magic".

Adam struck while the iron was hot and said, "Now I invite you to join my lab, Mr. Frank. Do you agree?"

Frank returned the contract to Adam and said hesitantly, "I, I don't know. This is too unbelievable …"

Adam sighed secretly. As expected, without evidence, it was not enough to convince people.

In the next second, Frank said, "Adam, you, no, can you give me some more time? I need to think about it. "

Adam clapped his hands and said, "Of course, Mr. Frank. You should know that the original spiritual power lab belongs to me from now on. After you think it through, you can find me at any time."

After receiving Adam's promise, Frank stumbled and left in a daze. James walked over and said with a bitter smile, "I'm sorry for him. His talent is actually not bad."

Adam looked at him and said, "James, I finally know why you are so unpopular."

James was stunned. He did not expect Adam to suddenly say such a thing, but he found himself unable to refute. Indeed, among the senior apprentices who were still alive, he was the only one who did not have any friends.

Adam continued, "But, you think too much. You did not wrong him. I believe that you signed the contract at that time. Since the contract was established, then the result today was his own choice. Since it was his own choice, he has no right to blame others. No path is smooth. Every decision is a gamble. It's normal to win or lose. "

James looked at Adam blankly. "Are you comforting me? I didn't expect … "

Adam took flight. "No, I just want to tell you to make a decision carefully. Psychokinetic is a meditation method built according to my standards. It is very likely that it will not be compatible with you. Your choice today may cause you to not even have descendants. I don't want you to hate me like Mr. Frank hates you."
