James continued, "Although the total amount of spiritual power is not the decisive factor in the current mage promotion system, its benefits are still enormous. At the same level, your soul can hold a lot more mana and spells than others, and although it doesn't help much in research, it helps a lot in combat, and if you can become a war mage, you can get through the weak stage more easily. ”

"War Mage?"

James waved his hand: "Well, this is the classification of mages by the Mage Council after becoming official mages. It's still far from you, and you don't need to understand it now. ”

Adam wondered, "Mr. James, even though my total mental power is high, it seems to be my business?"

James's excited expression revealed a hint of anticipation: "No, no, no, although this is your talent, it is also useful to me. ”

"For example?"

"Follow me. ”

James pulled Adam towards the inside of the laboratory, Adam didn't try to break free, as for resisting? The power of the high-level apprentice must not be what he can deal with now, why don't you see what James wants to do?

A place like the laboratory is an extremely important secret on Earth, and every researcher is very protective of his results, and the mage world is no exception, James swiped his identity token three times along the way before taking Adam to the deepest room.

Obviously, research knowledge cannot be based on utopian imagination alone, and any conclusion needs to be supported by countless rigorous empirical evidence, and Adam is curious about the research environment of the mages. He had guessed what was going on in the laboratory, such as the countless sophisticated magic technology instruments, or the containers filled with alien specimens, the test tubes filled with strange colors, and so on.

"Looks a little ordinary?"

Adam said to James' proud expression.

James's laboratory was a huge room of pure black, with no large instruments in sight, and the space was full of layers of optical projections, various rune models, crystal balls, and thick 'drawing books' on each operating table.

Probably because Adam was really important to him, James changed his indifferent expression when he first met, and said very kindly: "Ordinary? You actually say that this place is ordinary? Have you seen other labs?"

Adam spoke his imagination, and James explained: "There are those you said, but they are laboratories for other research directions, and my main research here is 'Spiritual Power Solidification Rune Structure Stability and Complete Rune Group Construction'. ”

"Is that the study of meditation?"

James nodded, "That's right, that's why I can be a mentor in the first year of rune knowledge." ”

Adam swept his gaze across the room, and did not rush out the mental power record, this kind of thing tantamount to directly stealing the other party's research results would never be forgiven by James, but he was very interested in this aspect, and it happened to be the direction he was preparing to work on at this stage.

Then, combined with the total amount of mental power that is beyond ordinary people, James found his own reason: "You want me to be your test subject?"

James shook his head: "Not a test subject, but as my assistant to participate in the experiment, I will share the harvest with you during the experiment, and give you a lot of money." ”

"What do I need to do?"

Seeing that Adam didn't say no, James patted him on the shoulder excitedly, and then said, "It's very simple, build the rune set I created into the body, and then I will record your feedback, and I will judge whether the meditation method is valuable or not." ”

Sounds like a good thing, but for Adam to split a thread to experiment with different rune groups without causing physical harm, and at the same time getting paid, and gaining knowledge through joint research with senior apprentices, there seems to be no reason to refuse?

However, Adam will not agree so simply, after all, he has only been in the academy for a day, and he still doesn't know many things, so making a hasty decision is not a good thing.

"I'll think it through and get back to you after the next rune lesson. Then Adam said to James, "Before that, Mr. James, about me?"

James was a little frustrated that Adam didn't directly agree, and his expression was no longer excited and expectant, and he said in a sullen tone: "When the mage with the soul tendency determines the path, you can try to integrate the knowledge of the path shown by the soul tendency into the rune group and construct your own meditation method. This type of meditation method is formed after being promoted to a full-fledged mage, and the mage armor has a strong personal tendency, and often has special powerful abilities. ”

This means that as long as the minimum is reached, every apprentice has a chance to be promoted to a full-fledged mage, but a small number of people with excellent talents will immediately have stronger strength and get something similar to the talent spell after promotion.

After Adam got the answer, he ignored James's depression and left, today's class is not over, there is also a course on elemental knowledge in the afternoon, the location of this class is on the other side of the academy, and it needs to be rushed in advance.

Along the way, I met many apprentices who had just come out of the rune knowledge class, and they were enthusiastically discussing the knowledge they had just acquired, and constantly comparing their mastery with others, shouting or regretting their loss because of a little progress and mistakes.

Although it was noon, no one chose to eat lunch, after all, the cost was high, and with the minimum physical fitness of everyone, one meal a day was enough without intense consumption.

Someone found Adam, but no one came forward to greet him, and most of them had already decided that Adam was a fool, and friendship and communication were also an investment, and this kind of time-consuming investment was undoubtedly unwise to put on Adam.

It didn't matter to Adam, he didn't have the feeling of being alone, he was alone, he was quiet, and he didn't have to waste precious threads on useless communication.

The closer he got to the classroom, the more intense the aether content became, and Adam even felt that there was a 'heavy' energy around him, making him need to use more physical strength while walking. The rest of the apprentices were even more unbearable, and the conversation stopped completely, and everyone resisted the pressure with all their might.

A few corners later, Adam came to a closed building, and the light curtain at the door read: New apprentices are strictly forbidden to radiate spiritual power in the Elemental Laboratory Building, otherwise they will bear the consequences.

The mages will not be untargeted, since the academy has issued a warning, no one dares to disobey, Adam firmly restrained his spiritual power, and walked into the first gate.

Another light curtain came into view: the presentation of the identity token.

Adam acted as he was told, and after scanning it again, Adam felt a force attached to his body, completely suppressing his spiritual power in his body, and the fireball rune group that remained in the standby thread disappeared, and all the runes that were being built but not completed were shattered, even the one that Adam himself optimized, leaving only a few pages of armor that had just been experimentally completed.

Due to the liberation of a large number of threads and the spread of condensed mental power, the rays used for scanning once again brushed Adam's body, and then a more suppressive force descended than before.

The same was true for the rest of the apprentices, but they were not as troublesome as Adam, and were released after just one process.

The interior of the Elemental Laboratory Building is far larger than it looks from the outside, and it is obviously the application of space folding technology, in which people come and go seem to be extremely busy, and there are runes appearing in front of each door, which should be used as a seal.

Adam walked towards the classroom located underground as he was directed, and at the moment he stepped on the stairs, a laboratory on the other side of the laboratory building exploded, and a violent fire erupted, and the powerful impact blew the apprentices behind who did not react to the ground, and the weaker ones even rolled into a ball.

"What's wrong?!"

"Oh my God!

The panicked voices spread, and everyone stopped to look at the lab, where several people had already been blown out, their clothes burned to shreds, and they looked half-baked.

The high-ranking apprentices in gray robes inside the laboratory building rushed towards the laboratory, and a moment later a figure flew out of the laboratory, surrounded by the surging power of the fire element, and scolded angrily in mid-air: "Fool, damn fool! Didn't I tell you that the construction of the rune must be meticulously up to the requirements? You idiots who are not as good as pigs! Send them to treatment, and then you will be expelled! Never go near my laboratory! Fools!"

"Is this an experiment in elemental magic?" Adam said to himself, it was all new and valuable to him, he didn't want to miss a scene, but unfortunately there was no way to enter the laboratory.

Arriving at the classroom, Adam found that the mentor was actually an acquaintance, and after everyone was seated, he said, "I'm Blake, a second-level qi elemental mage, your first year of elemental knowledge mentor. ”

This is a lecture hall, Mage Black hovers at the forefront, and says to everyone: "I hope the scene just now did not frighten you, elemental magic is full of charm, it is the most beautiful scenery on the path of mages, but it is also accompanied by extreme danger, just now the apprentices of Master George's laboratory are lucky, although it will take a long time to recuperate, but at least there is no danger to their lives." Know that every year many apprentices die in elemental experiments. ”

"The Elemental Knowledge Course is only once a month, and you will have to learn what the Elemental is during the year, and successfully construct three sets of runes for low-level elemental magic. ”

"Believe me, it's important, if you don't show your talent in other fields, like Miss Ophelia over there, you'll have to learn at least three low-level magic, or you'll be expelled. ”
