Chapter 89
Victor The Mage said, "The main reason why the Anti-Mages haven't been completely eradicated is because they serve as a touchstone. The Celestial Mages have forbidden official mages from killing Anti-Mages outside the Continent of Mages because they want to use them as the targets for the War Mage Trials that are held every hundred years or so. When the time comes, all the apprentices participating in the trials will be sent to various Anti-Mages' colonies in batches. They may be weak, but the study of ancient magic and curses is a good opponent to test the strength of your soul. "
Adam walked out of Dean Victor's office with a contract and a heart full of curiosity. He really did not expect that the reason why the mages had not completely eradicated the Anti-Mages was because of this. It was like crops that could only be grown outside of the vegetable field. Not only must they be harvested one batch at a time, they also had to be careful to prevent them from going extinct.
Victor The Mage was not stingy. After confirming that Adam had agreed to represent the Moldova Tower in the trials that could be held at any time within the next twenty years, he announced that the knowledge of the apprentice stage in the academy was no longer a secret to Adam. He also directly agreed to Adam's request to set up an electric-type and related elemental research laboratory.
The former was of no use to Adam. The final knowledge of the apprentice stage was stored on the top two floors of the library. It recorded the research directions that the academy had grasped and could help the apprentices advance. However, due to Moldova's overall strength, there was not much of this kind of knowledge. However, the latter was very useful. With the academy's support, Adam could finally start his own experiments without worrying about the losses.
In the examination department, Mage Irene was in a daze out of boredom. When she saw Adam, she did not waste any time and directly said, "Give me the dean's certificate and sign this agreement. Then you can have a laboratory in the elemental laboratory building."
Adam knew that Eirinn had received instructions from Dean Victor beforehand, so he wasn't surprised by the way the sorcerers communicated with each other. Since there was an internet that covered the entire sorcerer's plane, it wouldn't be difficult to set up a local network in the tower.
Adam signed his name on the agreement and said, "Thank you for your help, Master Irene."
Mage Irene smiled nonchalantly and picked up the agreement. Her attitude towards Adam was surprisingly kind. "Little guy, hmm, I can't call you little guy anymore. I can't believe you've actually found the path to advancement. Perhaps I should call you Mage Adam in the near future."
According to the concept of time, twenty years was only a short period of time. Most of them would not be bothered by their lifespan, so naturally, they did not care much about time.
"Your laboratory will be equipped with a soul sensing device. It's not to monitor you, but to help you suppress your advancement when you can't suppress it anymore." Mage Irene explained to Adam as she pointed at a special clause in the agreement.
"Of course, this is very reasonable." Adam expressed his understanding. This was part of the agreement between him and Dean Victor.
"Also, your monthly budget will be five pieces of complete Ether crystals." Mage Irene's tone changed a little. "This is not a small amount. An official mage's laboratory is not much more than this. Most importantly, you can use it as you wish."
Adam understood what she meant. According to Victor The Mage, these five pieces of complete Ether crystals were equivalent to the academy's compensation for delaying Adam's advancement. It could be seen as Adam's personal wealth.
After listening to Mage Irene's explanation, Adam left the approval department and flew towards the old laboratory.
In the laboratory, the Devil was excitedly telling James and Frank about the process of the mission. It was constantly exaggerating its role in it. It sounded as if the mission could not have been completed if it was not for it.
After Adam pushed open the door, he did not even look at the Devil who stopped abruptly. He walked straight into the mithril room and stored the instruments and data in it into his Dimensional Pocket. He then said to James and Frank, "The electro-elemental laboratory has been approved. We're moving."
The two of them had expected this after seeing the shocking scene in Adam's mithril laboratory. They knew Adam's character well and did not waste any time. They quickly packed up their personal belongings and data. After carefully checking that they did not miss anything, they followed Adam and left the place.
.....
The mission hall was the busiest place in the academy. There were always apprentices hoping to find a suitable job to earn magic stones here. Compared to the impetuousness of the first year, they were much calmer now. Fights over missions and suppressing others were rare.
Suddenly, after seeing the new mission on the screen, a boy ran to the corner of the mission hall and said to his companion, "Brother Kovar, there's news!"
Kovar looked at him, puzzled. "What did you say?"
The boy realized that he did not make it clear. He patted his head and said, "There's news about the apprentice called Adam that you asked everyone to pay attention to."
Kovar's eyes lit up. "Is it a cooperative mission?"
Psychokinetic's development allowed him to control the elements much better than his peers. Ever since that day, he was full of interest in Adam, the creator of the meditation technique. After learning about Adam's character from the senior apprentice in the Apprentice Bar, he did not approach him rashly. Instead, he chose to wait for a good opportunity. He had received a good education from a young age and knew the benefits of befriending a genius. Even if their paths were different, the sparks of wisdom that burst forth from the collision of excellent thinking would be of great help to him in the future.
The boy shook his head and said, "No, it's not a cooperative mission. It's a hiring of a laboratory assistant." The boy did not practice Psychokinetic Meditation. It was too difficult for him, so he did not understand Adam. He did not know why Kovar cared so much about this apprentice who was said to have lost his talent.
After hearing this, Kovar raised his eyebrows and quickly walked forward. Some people had already noticed the mission information. Most of them were from the previous batch of apprentices. They seemed to be surprised to see Adam's name again, but no one chose to accept the mission.
Kovar looked at the scrolling information on the screen. "Recruiting five to ten laboratory assistants. Required to practice Psychokinetic Meditation. Remuneration: 855 energy stones per month. Location: Elemental Experiment Building's third floor, Electricity and Related Elements Research Laboratory. Publisher: Adam."
After noticing the name of the laboratory, he frowned and muttered to himself, "Electricity element?"
The boy came to his side and said, "Brother Kovar, I don't think this person is worthy of your attention. Electricity element? What a joke. The mentors have clearly said that electricity element has no research value. I guess he's just trying to attract attention. "
