Chapter 10: Divine Arts

The meditation method is something that can only be learned after the spiritual power reaches the level 2 of the magic apprentice, and the person who has the level 1 of the magic apprentice and the person who has no mental power at all cannot complete this meditation figure, and without completing this meditation figure, the spiritual power cannot grow. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info ordinary people's spiritual power is absolutely unable to complete this figure, and only people with magical talents can reach this standard by slowly absorbing spiritual power. However, the age at which it is reached is not the same.

Under normal circumstances, people who are over 14 years old and have not yet reached the apprenticeship standard will not be very strong to become a mage. And those who can achieve it before entering school are those who can hope to become intermediate mages in the futureโ€”in the standard of a priest, this is the bishop level.

After being instructed by Durga on this point, Renard suddenly had the most direct understanding of his talent. If it weren't for the soul-sucking magic given by the Necronomicon, if it weren't for the inexplicable "epiphany" in the confinement room, he would not have had the chance to become a genius.

Thinking of this, his confidence in himself suddenly disappeared a little, because the path he took was different from everyone else in this world, there were no pioneers on this path, and the experience of others was really not applicable to him. In an instant, Renard thought of what he could do: learn more, integrate more, and find his own way!

............

In the blink of an eye, it was September, and Renard began his formal studies at the Academy of Magic. During the summer vacation, in addition to mastering the knowledge of writing by himself, he also went to the cemeteries of several cities in the name of tourism, absorbed a lot of souls, and with the two-hour meditation exercise every day, his spiritual power has been upgraded to the fourth level of apprenticeship.

Based on the books he had read at school before, he had reached the minimum standard where he could cast some divine magic. But he didn't have a way to learn magic at all, and he also looked for Durga in private, and Durga told him very kindly that if he wanted to learn magic arts, he had to wait until after enrollment, which was the rule. Therefore, Renard is still looking forward to his official enrollment.

After completing the formal enrollment process, Renard lay in his dormitory, looked at the class schedule, and found that the daily schedule was full: "Prayer and theology every morning is the first period, and I will look at the back...... Arcane Geometry, Identification of Common Magical Creatures, Spell Discrimination, Dealing with and Defending against Common Spells, History, Ancient Dragons, Ancient Elves...... Hey, there's a politics!"

Renard reluctantly found that he had four classes in the morning and four classes in the afternoon every day, which made him even more helpless that it was clearly written under the class schedule that for people whose mental power reached level two or above, there were two classes every night, namely spell casting tutorials and actual combat simulations.

This timetable reminded Renard of his high school career in his previous life. However, Renard didn't resist much, he had already experienced it anyway, and he didn't expect to get a diploma after hiding in his dorm room and playing computer games for four years like he did in his previous college life.

During the class, Renard unexpectedly discovered that the arcane geometry in his basic class was similar to the geometry credits in mathematics in his previous life, and he started directly from the analytic geometry part. This allowed Renard to stay at the top of his basic class while also thinking about the similarities between this world and the earth.

After all, where all the laws of mathematics are almost the same, there is suddenly more magic and cultivation civilization...... There is no big reason in it, not even Renard himself believes it. But Renard didn't think about it for long, because he was very self-aware, and he knew that it was useless to think so much.

In the evening, the spellcasting session guided by Durga arrived as scheduled. Durga brought a metal piece similar to the Meditation Method's storage material, and a flat figure that was slightly simpler than the Meditation Method.

"This is the first magic you will learn, children, this magic is called the Holy Light Technique, the function is very simple, it is to consume spiritual power, directly summon the Holy Light on a person or other creatures, it can heal people's injuries, if it is against dark creatures, it can also bring them some damage. With his usual kind voice, Durga began to instruct the only seven children in the spellcasting course who had reached the second level or above. At this time, Carlisle, the girl from before, raised her hand and asked, "Mr. Durga, what is the dark creature?"

"To put it simply, it's a creature that will be directly harmed by the light element. There are two main categories: undead and demonic, and when you become a full-fledged mage, you'll learn a spell that specializes in detecting dark creatures, and you'll be taught this in your magical creature identification course. Continuing with what I just said, the reason why the Holy Light is called divine magic is because only believers in the Lord can use these divine arts. Before you use your spiritual power in your brain to draw out the magic figure, you must first pray, after a complete prayer, the Lord will respond to your piety, and you can temporarily change the frequency of your spiritual power to the point where you can use the magic technology, and after you have used the magic force, whether it is success or failure, you must pray again before you can use the next magic ......"

Hearing this, Renard was tempted to ask "why", but he wisely kept his mouth shut. After all, when it comes to magic, especially gods, there's generally no logic to be said. He suppressed his thoughts and began to memorize the complex spell pattern with the other six people.

By the third day, everyone had basically mastered this uncomplicated figure, which was much faster than the meditation method that everyone had learned for nearly a week before. Once everyone has mastered it, the exciting training for actual spellcasting begins.

When Durga was directing the spell casting training, he looked a little as serious as he did when he saw Renard that day. However, after Renard's "epiphany", this seriousness did not appear. It is worth mentioning that the few people who went to the small black room to have an epiphany, except for Renard, who later returned to the class, the others never came again.

Renard asked Durga a few words about the whereabouts of the children, Durga responded vaguely, and then Renard wisely chose to shut up. Others, including Oliver, Charles, and Dalle, didn't care much about where the children went.

"Clark, you are the first, cast the Holy Light spell on me. Remember, after praying, the spiritual power will change as soon as the spell is cast!" Durga looked a little indifferent when he was serious, and the bald Clark's whole face and bald head turned red with nervousness, and he knelt down on one knee and said with great solemnity and reverence: "God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." โ€

Then Clark closed his eyes, his forehead burst into a vein, and he was silent for nearly twenty seconds, before suddenly opening his eyes and pointing at Durga, who was enveloped in a soft pure white light that flashed on Durga for about half a second before dissipating.

"Very good!" Durga applauded, "You've done a great job by the standards of the first cast, Clarke." But by the standards of healing your companions on the battlefield or battling dark creatures, you'll need a lot of practice. The main thing you need to boost is the cast speed. โ€

"And how do I practice, Mr. Durga, I feel like my mental power can only support five spells at most......" Clark seemed a little embarrassed.

Durga replied, "Don't pray before, kid, as long as you don't pray, the magic will not be completed, and your mental power consumption will be reduced by more than half." โ€

"But there's still a drain on that...... Clark was a little frustrated.

"Yes, my child. Durga replied, "If you want to get it, you have to give it first." Cherish every chance you get, Clark. Patrick, you're next, get ready. โ€
