Chapter 51

Everyone was speechless for a moment. Although Adam's body looked like it could be blown away by a gust of wind, they could see that he was in good condition through his eyes that were truly radiating light.

"Adam, your eyes?" James asked softly.

Before Adam could answer, the Devil that had been sent flying once again pounced on him while screaming. However, it had learned its lesson and did not dare to get too close to Adam. Instead, it pretended to howl from two steps away. "Master, my dear, great, all-knowing, all-powerful master, it's great that you're fine. You don't know how much your lowly servant has been worried about you these days …"

The air suddenly condensed into a hand and slapped the Devil to the side. Adam said calmly, "You're not allowed to transform into me in the future." The Devil let out an exaggerated scream and returned to its chaotic state, obediently staying at the side.

Adam said to James, "The quality of the Psychokinetic Meditation has greatly increased after the optimization. I can't control it perfectly for the time being. I'll need to maintain this state for a few more days."

The three of them were overwhelmed with emotions. It was indeed so. Frank asked anxiously, "What's the result of the optimization?"

Adam handed over an information box. "Originally, there were nineteen runes. After removing the redundant and useless parts, there were nine left. The new rune group can contain more spiritual power, but correspondingly, the requirements for spiritual power control and the total amount are also higher."

There was one thing that Adam did not mention. The new rune group not only required spiritual power, but also tested intelligence and calculation ability.

Adam's gains were great. After coming into contact with geometry, the runes that were originally drawn out of thin air had a more scientific structure.

In the first half of the month, Adam followed the geometric theorem to standardize every line in the rune, successfully making the structure of the rune more reasonable.

Half a month later, Adam began to observe the runes as a whole, trying to combine them in different ways. He found a large number of useless parts, and after removing them, he successfully reduced the number.

In the next ten days, Adam discovered that there was an overall pattern hidden in the rune combination. He was surprised to find that there was actually a more efficient way to construct the rune, which was different from the original drawing and building game. In the last seven days, Adam released all of his computing power and poured it all into the overall pattern research. Finally, he discovered the mystery. Every rune could be seen as an equation. By calculating its' solution ', he could directly construct the rune. In the end, he only needed to combine these' solutions' to complete the rune group.

Not only that, but Adam had a strong feeling that although each rune had a different structure, they all contained an unknown factor, which was the power of the mind. One day, when he had a better understanding of the power of the mind, he would be able to combine these methods into a group. When that time came, all he needed to do would be to solve everything.

However, William and the other two obviously did not have the same level of computing power as Adam. In their eyes, they only found that the new rune structure was so complicated that it was difficult to remember. If they wanted to perfectly replicate the various crisscrossing lines with their power of the mind, they would need an amazing amount of control.

James looked dejected. He found that if he used the optimized structure, his progress would be even slower. The time it took to recover his power of the mind after each rune was outlined would make him feel hopeless. It was the same for Frank. Although he was slightly more talented, he was not strong enough to control it.

William silently calculated in his heart and found that if he changed to the new structure, he would need to spend nearly four times more time to complete a complete construction. He smiled bitterly and opened his mouth, but he did not say anything. After all, it was clearly written in the contract that Adam was not obliged to serve their needs.

Adam was in a good mood. It was rare for him to take the initiative to teach them. "Don't treat runes as simple shapes. Find their patterns and build them through calculations."

The three of them stared at him, waiting for him to explain further. However, Adam realized that he had no way to explain further. They had to admit that Adam didn't have the talent to be a teacher. He could understand these things by himself, but he was helpless as to how to make others understand.

.....

Adam left the laboratory and walked towards the cafeteria.

He had been immersed in research for seventeen days. After a month, the food in his portable space was used up. Although Adam had the body of a grand knight, his body was close to exhaustion after not eating for a long time. Now, he just wanted to have a good meal.

Along the way, Adam saw many of the same batch of rookies. Most of them gathered in twos and threes, looking at each other vigilantly. He then remembered that the trial was about to begin. However, at this time, Adam did not take the trial seriously. Even if he did not construct magic, he was sure that he could run amok among the rookies just by relying on the upgraded version of Psychokinetic.

The rookies were stunned as they looked at Adam, whose appearance had changed greatly. They didn't dare to believe that this legendary rookie had become like this. There were even some who maliciously wondered if Adam had been cursed by someone. Otherwise, why would there be a gray mist floating behind him?

However, they would never have guessed that Adam had really been cursed.

Adam didn't forget about the Mark of Death that Clark had left behind. If what Clark said was true, and there really was an official Enemy Mage behind him who would avenge him, the trial would probably be the easiest place to do so.

I just don't know where the trial will be held.

However, Adam did not have any good ideas. After all, he was only an apprentice. He could not ask an official mage to protect him. This had nothing to do with whether he could pay the price, but because he did not have an equivalent status.

After arriving at the cafeteria, Adam ordered a table full of high-class food. He absorbed energy at a speed that seemed slow but was actually very fast. When he was halfway through his meal, Elliot came unexpectedly and sat opposite Adam as if they were old friends. He said, "Hey, buddy, long time no see. You too, Mr. Devil. Looking at you, you don't seem to be doing well? "

The Devil turned into a girl and stood beside Eliot. She threw a flirtatious glance and said, "Call me Miss Devil."

Eliot readily accepted. "Nice to meet you, Miss Devil."

Adam ignored the two of them and finished all the food. After swallowing the last mouthful, he said to Eliot, "You seem to have nothing to do all day. Don't you need to make a new potion? "

Eliot leaned on the table and sighed. "You think I don't want to? But I can't make it! Knowledge, knowledge, I have too little knowledge. "

Adam did not agree with Eliot's complaint. Speaking of knowledge, he thought of another conjecture. In the world of mages, how was the concept of knowledge defined? Could Psychokinetic be considered knowledge after it was turned into an equation? Or could it only be considered knowledge when he succeeded in setting up all the equations?

If it was the second case, and knowledge was expressed in such a way, then could the magic runes also be seen as equations? The reason why they could not be constructed through calculation was because Adam could not understand equations at the moment?

"Maybe we can't try to understand them in the form of equations in a narrow sense, but as theorems? Or formulas? "Adam could not help but whisper softly to himself.

Eliot did not hear clearly. He looked up blankly from the table and asked, "What did you say?"

Adam shook his head and said, "Nothing."

Eliot did not ask. He was not in the mood today. He looked at Adam's withered body and asked, "How did you get yourself into this state?"

The Devil replied in a delicate voice, "My great master was so engrossed in research that he forgot to eat and sleep. He almost starved himself to death."

Eliot was stunned. He had never heard of such a thing. "That's not good, buddy. Have you forgotten about the trial in a few days? What if something happens to you in your current state? " Eliot had long regarded Adam as a friend. He said this from the bottom of his heart. He did not want Adam to die in the trial.

Adam said casually, "I'm fine. I've never been better. As for my body, since when did an elemental mage need to rely on his body to fight?" Adam immediately thought of Eliot's well-informed information. He asked curiously, "What do you know about the trial?"

Eliot looked at Adam's eyes and knew that he was right. He was relieved and replied, "I can't tell you now, but soon. You will know in a few days."

.....

Eliot was right. Three days later, Adam received an order for all the new apprentices who were still alive to gather at the square.

Dean Victor's doppelganger did not change at all compared to a year ago. He still wore a black robe and stood high above. When the scheduled time arrived, he said calmly, "I'm very happy that you survived the first year in various ways."

There was a slight commotion among the rookies. Some of them were embarrassed and nervous. They did not improve their strength by much and did not dare to go out to do missions to increase their combat experience. They were just waiting for death.

"Tomorrow morning, you will go to the trial location through the teleportation circle. It is a demarcated magical beast habitat. Your mission is to eliminate all the magical beasts and survive for a month."

Adam heard the relaxed breathing around him. Obviously, the rookies had realized that the mission was not very difficult. The academy did not want them to kill each other. This was obviously a cooperative mission.

Adam was slightly surprised. This mission seemed to be unexpectedly simple? Since it was for the purpose of the trial, the mages would obviously not put magical beasts with the power level of an official mage.

Dean Victor continued, "All the magical beasts in the trial location have been planted with a magic potion. You must carry the primer that will be given to you later. The magical beasts that have been catalyzed by the magic potion will lose their rationality. They will attack all the apprentices carrying the primer. "

Dean Victor's words were brief. He left immediately after he finished speaking. Adam found that the one who gave out the primer was Eliot. He mischievously winked at Adam.
