Chapter 232: The New Year's Party Coming Early (Part I)
At the end of the meditation, Josephine slowly opened her eyes, and there was no tired color in the jewel-like pupils, but a touch of depth.
It's been more than three months since she became the wizard's apprenticeship. At that time, he was just an inconspicuous little follower, and now even Daria's father doesn't dare to speak out loud when he sees him.
She knows what the reason for this change is.
Therefore, since entering the Wizard Tower, she has not neglected training for a moment, and every day she is either meditating or studying the textbooks given to them by the wizards.
At first, she was still puzzled about how these mortal calculation methods would help their cultivation, but after she finished reading the two books "Elementary Algebra (1)" and "Basic Geometry (1)", she unexpectedly found that she had a little more profound insight into the understanding of magical elements in space.
The magical elements that had been erratic in her eyes seemed much more intimate now, and although they still ignored her command, at least now her mental power was able to touch their edges, much better than it had been a month ago.
Thinking of this, Josephine's little hand secretly clenched.
"It's not close...... With a little more effort, I'm sure I'll be the first to sense the magic element! ”
Taking a deep breath, she saw that it was not early outside the window, so she got up from the bed, picked up her clothes and walked to the bathroom.
However, as soon as I walked into the bathroom, I heard the voice of my roommate outside.
"Josephine, are you in there?"
"In ...... Can I help you? Through the frosted glass door, Josephine shouted.
"Well, Lord Wizard told us to gather in the hall of the main building before six o'clock in the evening, how long will it take for you, do you want me to wait for you?"
"Well, I'll be fine right away, wait for me."
"Hurry up, hurry up." The roommate outside urged.
Draping the bath towel over her body, Josephine hurriedly wiped the water droplets hanging from her white carcass, and then put on a clean robe.
The wizard wants to meet these apprentices? Strange, this is the sun hitting the west and coming out!
She hadn't seen the mentor since she met the wizard on the day she first started school.
What are you going to do today?
Confused, Josephine unconsciously reached for the comb on the dresser, which she hadn't used for a long time.
It was rare to see the wizard, and she naturally hoped that she could leave a good impression in front of him.
……
In the main hall of the wizard's main building, candles flickered in the copper lamps, and there were sumptuous food, wine and desserts on the long table, and the students in wizard robes sat on both sides of the long table, with slightly green faces, looking at the instructor sitting in the first place with anxiety.
While they were secretly observing Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng was also observing them.
They have obviously grown a lot compared to the beginning. With the help of intelligence, Jiang Feng could clearly observe that the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from many people were already approaching the bottleneck of apprenticeship apprentices, and they were only a thin line away from inferior apprentices.
Especially the little girl named Josephine, because she was the first person to enter the wizard's tower when she entered the school, Jiang Feng had a slight impression of her. Unexpectedly, when she saw it today, a trace of flocculent spiritual entity had already been drilled out of her sea of consciousness, like a bunch of buds that had just broken the ground.
For Jiang Feng's attention, the girl smiled shyly and modestly.
It seems that among this batch of students, there is a good seedling.
Jiang Feng nodded with satisfaction in his heart.
Without lingering on her face, Jiang Feng looked around at the twenty apprentices sitting on either side of the long table, and smiled gently.
"Don't be so nervous, it's not the Last Supper."
With his jokes, the atmosphere eased a lot.
"After this period of study, I believe you have become familiar with the new life. I've noticed that many of you have already nurtured the germ of spiritual power, and you only need to work hard to break through the threshold of inferior apprentices. At that time, I will teach you the first witchcraft. For now, I hope that you will guard against arrogance and rashness, and practice the meditation methods that I have taught you with peace of mind, so as to lay a good foundation for the future. ”
Hearing Jiang Feng's words, the apprentices secretly observed each other in surprise, wondering who the lucky one was? It's already approaching the threshold of an inferior apprentice!
"The first thing I did when I came back this time was to congratulate you in advance that the new school year was about to begin."
"The second thing is also to congratulate you on the fact that you are about to witness a great era. The seal of the Blue Vortex is being lifted, and soon the world will usher in a magical tide as a precursor to world change. Now I can tell you for sure that this is at the end of the month. ”
Looking at the confused expressions on the faces of the apprentices, Jiang Feng paused for a moment and continued.
"As for what the magic tide is, I hope you can find the answer from the library yourself, if you really don't understand something, you can ask Vice Dean Makaru, and he can help you answer questions about witchcraft."
"Now, I want you to be clear about one thing, and that is that by the end of this month, the concentration of magic elements in this world will skyrocket to unimaginable levels, and it will probably last for a week."
"This week will be the key to your breakthrough, and I hope you will seize this opportunity, because for many of you, this opportunity may be once in a lifetime."
"So, I decided to give you a little help."
Jiang Feng snapped his fingers as he spoke.
The servant behind him understood, and pushed the cart towards this side.
When the cart stopped, Jiang Feng noticed the apprentices sitting next to the long table, everyone's breathing became short, looking at him with fanatical eyes, or at the bottles and cans on the cart next to him.
The blue liquid is no stranger to any wizard.
Focus Potion!
All the apprentices' eyes widened.
The auxiliary ability of meditation is more than twice as powerful as the Tranquility Potion!
If you redeem it with points, you can only redeem 10 points for a bottle! And now, their mentor actually intends to ...... Give it to them?!
"These are New Year's gifts for you, and everyone can advance seven Concentration Potions from me in advance."
"The principle of the wizarding world is equivalent exchange, so I want you to know that the help I am providing to you today is not gratuitous."
Seeing that the apprentices' fanatical eyes gradually calmed down, Jiang Feng continued to speak in a flat tone.
"A bottle of concentration potion is still ten points, but because of the special situation this time, I can lend you some of it first."
"The apprentice who received the Focus Potion from me must return the seventy points owed by this time next year. If you can't pay it back, you will be cleared from the school park, and the spiritual seal will be permanently sealed, and you will return to your family. ”
70 points!
A wry smile appeared on the faces of many apprentices, and the original fanatical mood gradually faded.
β Academy's exams are already few, and the way they can earn points is that in addition to helping Tutor Leia take care of the plantation, there are only a few pitiful elective exams.
It is quite good to be able to get twenty points in a year, but this will take up a lot of time, and it will not be worth the loss for their cultivation.
In particular, the penalty of not being able to repay the points was even more unacceptable to them.
Removed from the academy and permanently sealed with a spiritual seal...... This means that they will not only lose their status as wizards, but will also be forever deprived of their qualifications to become wizards.
Back to the family?
Inexistent.
Many of them have no way out at all, because the family behind them has already gained too many benefits from their status as wizards.
Once they lose their identity as wizards, there is no need to think about what will happen to the family behind them. Those who once lifted them up in the air, with as much force as they lifted them up, threw them to the ground with as much force as they stood, and then stepped on them with two feet......
Compared with the poor boys who had nothing, they were born into merchant aristocratic families, and they were far more concerned about gains and losses than their peers.
However, Jiang Feng's next sentence made them, who had already given up, fall into thought.
“…… After this magic tide is over, I will issue some tasks related to the secret realm to the students who have successfully advanced to the apprentice level, and you can earn magic stones and academy points for yourself, and repay the part you owe me. ”
"As for whether to take these potions, or when I don't say anything, the choice is yours."
