Chapter Seventy-Five: Reflection and Beginning
Andy's college life began. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
His main concern now is how to solve the problem of his inefficient meditation. Later, he took a few paid classes and learned that one way to quickly increase his mental power was to use a potion to aid meditation.
It was a meditation aid called a Awakening Elixir, which was a hundred times more effective than the tranquilizing decoction that Andy had taken when he was just learning witchcraft.
Correspondingly, of course, the price of sobering elixirs is thousands of times that of tranquilizing decoction. Hundreds of magic stones to buy a bottle.
Between the outer courtyard of Grim and the mixed courtyard, there is a small square. Wizard apprentices who specialize in sub-professions often set up stalls here. Over time, a small trading market has formed.
Andy bought a bottle of sobering potion on this trading market, came back and tried it, and the effect was really extraordinary. He could clearly feel the increase in his mental strength. Although it is still far from the standard of a bronze wizard, this undoubtedly gives Andy, who has extremely low mental talent, a glimmer of hope.
He couldn't help but buy two more bottles to aid in meditation. I feel that although the effect is slightly lower than when I used the first bottle, I can still feel a significant increase in mental power.
But now the problem is that Andy's magic stones are running out. So Andy began to look for any other way to increase his mental power quickly than the potion.
Andy learned in the student handbook that a teacher from the inner courtyard had recently come to teach. And the content happens to be about the various methods of apprentice-assisted meditation. However, the price of teaching by teachers from the inner courtyard is much higher than that of teachers from the outer courtyard.
After nearly a month of studying the course and the cost of buying potions, Andy now has less than two hundred magic stones on his body. So he no longer wants to bear such an expensive course selection fee.
Andy came up with a trick, which was to have Catherine the kitten disguise herself as the pet of other students who paid for the class, follow them behind the family to listen to the class, and then tell Andy about the content.
Unexpectedly, on the first day Catherine mixed in, she was kicked out by the teacher in the inner courtyard.
It turns out that every student who pays will have the witchcraft mark made by the teacher, and it is not that there are no apprentices who bring their pets to the class, but their pets will also be marked by the teacher when they pay.
So the unmarked Catherine is as obvious as a firefly in the dark among the teachers.
In fact, such a trick has already been tried, after all, wizard apprentices still have the means to train pets to understand human language. Moreover, wizard apprentices have all kinds of strange ideas and all kinds of strange pets have appeared, so even if a fly or mosquito appears in the classroom without a mark, it will be paid special attention by experienced teachers.
If it doesn't work, Andy has another plan. His space bag also contained a sound tapping device that Catherine had gotten from Bill. Andy took advantage of the gap in the classroom before the teacher gave a lecture and installed the device in an inconspicuous corner of the classroom.
As a result, as soon as the teacher began to lecture, the ruby on the ring he was wearing on his left hand sounded a terrible siren!
Andy realized that it was not good when he heard the voice, and hurriedly put away the receiver of the sound, and he waited at the residence for a long time, but no one came to ask the teacher. This made Andy breathe a long sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Andy went out the next day, he saw a white note posted on the door of the villa. It's a big two-word headline - Ticket!
The ticket mentioned that Andy deliberately disrupted the order of the classroom, and the circumstances were serious, and he was fined 100 magic stones, which should be paid at the designated place within three days.
The seal of the fine is the Grim College Discipline Division. Andy is also familiar with the Discipline Division, which is the department that manages discipline and maintains law and order on the campus of Graeme College. Its headquarters is not in the outer court, but in the inner court, which oversees the three courts. Because of the particularity of its functions, most of the students of the three colleges talk about it.
Andy now has no capital to confront the Discipline Department, so he can only pay the fine honestly, who let him really take advantage of the loophole and be caught. Andy is willing to gamble and lose.
But here's the problem, after paying the fine, Andy's magic stones are less than a hundred, and he must now find some way to earn magic stones.
Andy, who has been influenced by various fantasy games on the earth, easily realizes that it is difficult to make money in the main profession of wizards at this stage, and it is still necessary to work the sub-profession to make money.
So Andy was going to learn a sub-profession, and Grim Outer Yard finally did something that wasn't very bad. That is, after paying the tuition fee of the outer college, you do not need to pay separately to go to the mixed college to learn some basic knowledge of the sub-profession.
Of course, more advanced sub-vocational courses also have to pay fees. But just the basic course Andy is already satisfied, after all, Andy is a pure novice in terms of sub-profession now.
In fact, Stein, the mentor of the original Andy, has good pharmacist attainments. However, in the process of learning the original body and him, he did not even reach the level of a junior wizard apprentice, so naturally there was no way to talk about learning potion knowledge.
Even if he mentioned it to Stein, he would be told to meditate and not to be distracted.
The secondary majors of the Grim Mixed Academy are mainly potions, alchemy, runes, and witch arrays.
Apothecary, as the name suggests, is the science of identifying herbs and refining witchcraft potions with various effects.
Alchemy is the study of material properties and the making of magical jewelry, as well as various alchemical curiosities and treasures.
Rune literature is the study of the meaning and combination of runes and the production of various rune equipment.
Witchcraft is more complex, requiring knowledge of material properties, runes, witchcraft models, mathematical changes, elemental characteristics, and even geography and terrain. It studies a variety of witchcraft formations.
After Andy went to the mixed courtyard a few times, he began to run over there every day, to listen to some free courses on sub-professional knowledge, and he listened to all the courses on potions, alchemy, runes, and witch arrays.
In the course of the lecture, Andy began to find a problem, that is, he understood every sentence that people said, but once he combined all the sentences, he did not understand what it meant.
This is true not just for one class, but for every class. Andy has the soul talent of "strong memory", so even after a few days, he can still remember the content of the lecture clearly.
But what's the use of just remembering, knowledge that he can't understand at all, Andy believes that if he tries to refine potions or make rune equipment at such a level of ignorance, he will definitely face failure again and again.
According to the records he had seen before, the talent for strong memory was called the "Friend of the Apprentice", which was very helpful to wizard apprentices, but Andy basically did not appreciate the help of this talent in his practice of witchcraft.
Every time he learns a new witchcraft, it is Catherine's tireless and careful explanation that he is able to build a model of witchcraft successfully.
This made Andy can't help but start to reflect, is his talent for witchcraft cultivation really so bad?
He also admitted that his mental talent was not good, and his meditation efficiency was low. However, he couldn't understand the knowledge of witchcraft that most wizard apprentices could understand, so how could he explain it.
Low IQ, so poor comprehension? Andy won't admit this anyway!
After some analysis and reflection, Andy really thought of a possibility.
The crux of the problem is likely to lie in Andy's identity, he is a time-traveler, not a native of this wizarding world.
Much of his current understanding of witchcraft is based on memories inherited from his predecessors.
He has never been subtly influenced by the knowledge of witchcraft in the process of growing up, nor has he experienced the magic factor in meditation day after day, year after year, nor has he been exposed to the history, culture, and habits of this witchcraft world.
Now he is like a foreigner who has learned Chinese, he feels that he is learning authentic Chinese, but as long as he opens his mouth, he can distinguish that it is a strange tone.
All in all, Andy's knowledge of witchcraft is not well grounded.
Realizing this, Andy felt that he needed to abandon the influence of his original memories on him, after all, he never knew that he had to do it.
Andy intends to treat himself as a person who has never been exposed to witchcraft knowledge, and he wants to start from scratch, learn the basics of witchcraft bit by bit, and completely consolidate his foundation.
Luckily, the Wizarding Basics course in Graeme's Outer Courtyard is free. So, early the next morning, Andy took his notebook and went to the classroom where the "Introduction to the Basics of Witchcraft" class was held.
As soon as he entered the door, Andy was dumbfounded!
I saw thirty or forty eight or nine-year-old children sitting in the classroom, and they were buzzing and chatting about topics of interest.
As soon as Andy entered, the children fell silent. A pair of innocent eyes looked directly at Andy, and suddenly Andy heard a crisp voice.
"Stand up!"
All the children stood up. Then he shouted neatly, "Hello teacher!"
This scene surprised Andy, and then he replied with a cheap mouth, "Hello classmates!"
After that, there was an awkward silence in the classroom, but Andy came back to his senses first, and he realized that the scene he was seeing now was normal.
Because witchcraft meditation requires spiritual power after all, it is necessary for children to grow to a certain level before they begin to come into contact with it. However, it is a common mentality that people do not want their children to lose at the starting line, so parents usually want their children to be exposed to witchcraft as soon as possible.
In this way, the age of eight or nine years old is the best age for children to get in touch with the basics of witchcraft and lay a good foundation for witchcraft practice.
After figuring it out, Andy wasn't embarrassed in the slightest. He waved the children to sit down first, and then explained to them that he was not a teacher and that he had come to class just like them.
Then Andy stopped paying attention to these children in a state of confusion, and consciously walked to the last row, found a seat where no one was and sat down.
The children in the last row stood up as if their buttocks were on fire, and then they all ran to the seats in front of them.
Andy's two children in the front row of the seat also hurriedly stood up and moved to other seats, one of the children ran out of seats, so the two of them squeezed into a chair.
In a few moments, an arc of no-man's land cleared around Andy......
