37. a mechanical body
“...... Adam, your application has been approved, the address of the laboratory is still the same as before, and 5,000 units of power stones will be allocated to your laboratory every month. As for the problems between you, solve them yourself. Mage Erin said coldly. It's okay to look at the excitement among the little ones, but if an apprentice dares to do it in front of her, it is obviously not allowed.
No apprentice dared to disobey the will of a full-fledged mage, and no matter how angry they were, they left the approval department respectfully.
The apprentice named Frank followed the two out of the tower, and as soon as he stepped into the confines of the academy, he stepped in front of James and grabbed him by the collar, easily lifted him up, and said angrily: "James, why don't you get out of the academy yet!
This is a very vicious word, for mages, old age and death is the most shameful and incompetent way to die, which means that their wisdom has come to an end, and their souls have rotted to the point that they cannot support existence.
James didn't resist, and let Frank pick himself up, with a deep apology on his face: "Frank, I'm sorry, but ......"
Frank punched James in the face, knocking him out of the way, and said, "But what? But because you still want to be a mage, do you continue to deceive people?"
James fell to the ground, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, he still had no intention of fighting back, and said, "No, Frank, you listen to my explanation......"
"Shut up, James, you liar!"
Frank didn't listen at all, and continued to attack James, but strangely enough, he didn't use magic, just waved his fists and kicks like a normal person.
Adam frowned, he didn't know if he should stop Frank, the injuries from punches and kicks could not fatal injuries to the apprentice, but the scene in front of him was really funny.
Adam pulled James away with his telekinesis, erected a barrier in front of him, and then said in a calm tone, "Mr. Frank, I think you should listen to James. What you're doing now doesn't make any sense other than venting. ”
Frank ignored Adam's words, and continued to punch James, hitting the kinetic energy barrier of Frank's mind, Adam's mind moved, and the barrier rippled, and then the ripples spread out at a very fast speed and then converged again, returning the kinetic energy of Frank's punch.
This is still the result of Adam watching Frank not attach magic to the attack, otherwise it would not be that simple.
Frank was shocked and sent out.
This also calmed Frank, he glared at James angrily, and then said to Adam: "Boy, you should be a rookie in this batch, right? James is a liar, all the research in his psychic power laboratory is just a joke, if you are not a fool, leave him immediately, otherwise your mage path will be ruined by him." ”
Adam's brow furrowed even tighter, although James's research direction was incorrect, but it was definitely not up to the level of a liar, and he said to Frank: "Sir, I think you have misunderstood......"
Unexpectedly, Frank made an unexpected move, he took off his shirt, revealing an amazing upper body - a half-mechanical structure, the entire left half of the flesh and blood body is closely connected to the mechanical body, if he hadn't taken off his clothes, he couldn't see the disobedience.
"This is an alchemy body, so powerful!" Adam's eyes lit up, replacing his body with mechanical work, what a fascinating technique!
Frank said indignantly: "Back then, some of my companions and I just listened to this liar's words, and devoted all our time to his laboratory, firmly believing in the prospects he had drawn, and hoping that we could advance through mental power, but decades have passed, and we have not gained anything......! Frank slapped the mechanical body with his flesh-and-blood arm, and then said, "It's like this, and it's still breathing." ”
James closed his eyes in pain: "I'm sorry, Frank, I'm sorry. ”
Adam asked curiously, "What is it like to have an alchemical body?"
Frank laughed miserably and said, "What experience? pain, unimaginable pain day and night. And since then, I have been insulated from elemental magic, and since I put on this body, I have never been able to get the recognition of the elements. ”
James kept repeating the words sorry.
Frank seemed to calm down and no longer had the intention to attack, he glanced at James in disgust, and then said, "Shut up, I don't need your sorry, it's worthless." ”
Adam was a little strange, judging from the level of magic technology he had seen so far, since this level of transformation could be realized, there should be no incompatible reactions, he expressed his doubts, Frank said: "Because it's cheap, I can't afford to pay the price of a better alchemy body." ”
At this point, Frank had no intention of continuing the conversation, and he said to Adam: "As a 'senior', I warn you to stay away from this liar, or you will regret it." Your qualifications are probably poor, but don't believe in these crooked ways, or you won't be able to make it to the path of a mage. Frank used two others in quick succession to show his disdain for James, and after saying that, he got dressed and wanted to leave.
Adam wasn't going to let Frank go like this at this time, he was very interested in his body, Adam, and maybe it would be a miracle for this cyborg creature to use telekinesis?
"Sorry to bring back bad memories for you, but Mr. Frank, you really misunderstood......"
Frank got dressed, still thinking that Adam was obsessed, he sneered: "You will regret it." ”
Adam was helpless, why is this person so impolite, doesn't he know that listening to someone finish speaking is the most basic etiquette?
"I am the applicant and the leader of the Psychic Power Lab. ”
Frank's footsteps stopped, he couldn't believe his ears, the dominant was a rookie?
"And a workable meditation method has been studied. ”
Frank instinctively doesn't believe it.
"This is the contract of the Academic Department. "Adam came up with the last killer move.
Frank stared at the contract, and could see at a glance that the contract was real, and of course no one dared to lie to the mage, and then he muttered to himself: "It's true, what's wrong with this world......?"
But he was just surprised, and then said coldly: "I know." He was about to leave, and since he was not James, then the matter had nothing to do with him. What if the meditation method succeeded, it was impossible for him to become a mage. The elemental magic he loved had closed its doors to him forever.
Adam stopped him again, and without waiting for Frank to get angry, he quickly said, "The new meditation method will produce a special effect called telekinesis, and I believe this ability can help you and regain the favor of the elements. As he spoke, Adam used his telekinetic power to gather the air, and a series of wind blades and wind bullets shot quickly into the air.
Frank froze, he looked at the ground shattered by the 'magic', then at Adam, and after a few back-and-forth there was a strong hope in his eyes, and said to Adam, "What you said is true?"
Adam spread his hands, "Obviously, sir. ”
Frank trotted over, snatched the contract from Adam's hand, and read the words deadly, his eyes uncertain, on the one hand intellect told him that it was impossible, and on the other hand emotion told him that maybe there was hope.
"Actually, there is such a thing, which achieves the effect of magic simply through the materialization of spiritual power. He selectively ignored the word low, and his mind was occupied by the word magic.
Adam struck while the iron was hot, "Now I invite you to join my lab, Mr. Frank, do you agree?"
Frank returned the contract to Adam and hesitated, "I, I don't know, it's unbelievable......"
Adam sighed secretly, sure enough, is there no empirical support to be convincing?
The next second Frank continued, "Adam, you, no, can you give me some more time? ”
Turning around, Adam clapped his hands and said, "Of course, Mr. Frank, you should know that the original spiritual power laboratory belongs to me in the future, and you can go to me at any time after you figure it out." ”
After receiving Adam's assurance, Frank stumbled away, and James on the side walked over and said with a wry smile: "I'm sorry for him, his talent is actually quite good." ”
Adam looked at him and said, "James, I finally know why your popularity is so bad. ”
James was stunned, he didn't expect Adam to suddenly say such a sentence, but he found that he couldn't refute it, indeed, among the senior apprentices who were still alive, he was the only one who had no friends.
Adam continued, "But you're thinking too much. You didn't feel sorry for him, I believe that you also signed a contract at that time, and since the contract was established, then his result today is his own choice, and since he chose it himself, he has no right to complain about others. No road is easy, any decision is a gamble, and it is normal to win or lose. ”
James looked at Adam stunned: "Are you comforting me......?
Adam took off flat: "No, I just want to tell you, make a careful decision, the mindfulness is a meditation method established by my standards, it is very likely that it will not be suitable for you, your choice today may make you unable to leave even offspring, I don't want that day you will hate me as much as Mr. Frank hates you." ”
