Chapter 13 The Difficult Road to Study
Thor didn't know how he made it all the way back to the dormitory.
He slammed the door shut, threw all the books and crystal balls onto the bed, and sat down slowly leaning against the foot of the bed.
"Why can't I perceive much of the dark element? Is it the uneven distribution of elemental particles in the classroom? ”
Thinking of this, Thor immediately opened the book, picked up the crystal ball, maintained a sitting posture, and began to meditate and immerse.
This time he sensed the dark elemental particles, but they were still pitifully few, not even as many as the white ones.
"White is light, how is that possible? When I tested it, it was clear that the dark element had the highest perception. ”
"Could it be that West Germany did it at that time? Unlikely, if he doesn't want me to pass, what's the use of manipulating elemental perception? ”
Reluctantly, though, Thor finally thought of Khonsha.
The image in his mind was fixed on the bottle of healing potion that Khonsha had given him.
"If the element I perceive the most is not the dark element, then the bottle of medicine is most likely to temporarily change my mental power."
Thor knew from the beginning that Khonsha must have some purpose in helping him become an apprentice, and now he was only more sure of it.
He let out a long breath, dropped the crystal ball, and looked up to see that it was almost afternoon class.
When it comes to meditation, he can't find Kong Sha to question now, so he can only take one step at a time.
I went out again and didn't see Klee.
The plan to ask her about her meditative status fell through, and Thor had to walk alone to the 15th floor of the East Tower.
Mentor Kaz has his own lab, right there.
Most of the average apprentice who wants to be taught by a mentor needs to go to the laboratory, where the instructor may answer a few questions.
But more often than not, apprentices are reluctant to go to a mentor before they hit a bottleneck.
The answer they get is more like, "You can't do it that simple?" "Didn't I talk about this? "I don't think you have to wait for the next test, you're eliminated now." ”
Only newcomers who haven't seen the mentor yet, will be excited to see the mentor up close.
Thor didn't feel excited at all when he went to the fifteenth floor because he had a lot of things on his mind.
He went to Mentor Kaz's lab and opened the door to meet a pair of eyes.
The owner of those eyes suddenly staged a rich emotional change of surprise, anger, fear, and composure.
Thor looked at Duke and scratched his chin with his bony knuckles.
Duke immediately looked away.
After all, he still had a slightly purple five-finger mark on his face.
Don't dare to mess with, don't dare to mess with ......
There weren't many apprentices who chose Kaz, and there were only three of the twenty-odd newcomers.
Thor, Duke, and a cute girl named Angela.
She didn't seem to know the contradiction between Thor and Duke, her big eyes sparkling and a quiet smile on her lips.
Inside the lab, there was also a young man wearing the Order of Apprenticeship II who was packing his things.
He saw the three of them standing quietly in the laboratory, and stepped forward to beckon, "Tutor Kaz usually doesn't come so early in the afternoon, you can come over around 3 o'clock in the future." ”
He laughed again, unbelievably meaningful.
"Of course, it's okay not to come."
After a brief pleasantries, the laboratory was quiet again.
The second-level wizard apprentice was busy and had no interest in continuing to communicate with everyone.
Seeing that Tutor Kaz didn't mean to show up in advance, Saul simply took the book and found a table with no clutter and sat down to study.
Seeing this, the other two also found a place to read.
There is a clear distinction between the three of them and each other.
Because there were too many things on his mind, Saul couldn't concentrate on reading this time. Every once in a while, he would look up to check the time.
Finally, when the hourglass came to half past three in the afternoon, the door to the laboratory was pushed open again.
Everyone put down their workstations and got up.
"Mentor!" The second-level young apprentice greeted him with a smile on his face.
Following his gaze, Thor saw a thin, withered, white-haired old man.
The other man looked very old, with wrinkled skin and slightly cloudy eyes, making Mentor Kaz look like he was in his nineties.
Kaz walked in slowly, his steps steady.
He didn't respond to the second-level apprentice, just glanced around the lab.
Thor noticed that the second-level apprentice seemed nervous.
"My request is simple." Kaz said to the second-level apprentice with a cold face, "Put the used things back in their place." If you can't even do that, you won't be in my lab in the future. ”
The smile on the face of the second-level apprentice couldn't be contained, and his expression was curt, "Yes, mentor, I'll clean it up today." ”
"When is your next test?"
"A month later."
"Okay, then let's test if you can clean up the lab."
"Yes."
Thor noticed that the second-level apprentice was relieved to hear Kaz's test request.
After that, Kaz looked at the three newcomers, "Come here, stand in front of me, do you want me to walk over as an old man?" ”
The three of them hurriedly walked over and stood in a row in front of Kaz.
Kaz's gray pupils swept over the three of them one by one, and when they finally landed on Thor, he suddenly asked in a bad tone, "Why do you have so little magic power?" ”
Duke's eyes lit up on the other side of Angela, and he seemed hesitant to take the initiative to "explain" for Thor.
Just as he was about to speak, the wound on his face ached faintly, and he couldn't make a sound.
Sol knew that he couldn't hide the official wizard from his situation, and took the initiative to say: "Mentor, my magic talent is not very good, but my mental talent is okay. ”
Kaz didn't buy it, "There is no magic and there is no spiritual power, that's a scholar, not a wizard." Wizards don't just read books. ”
He muttered under his breath again, "Can't you even find a decent apprentice out there now?" ”
Thor was mentally prepared and was not struck by Kaz's words. But if even his mentor doesn't look down on him, how can he continue his studies in the future?
"Mentor, I will work hard to improve my magic, please give me a chance."
Kaz rolled his eyes, "How hard?" Witchcraft transformation? Okay, as long as your mana increases to 10 joules in three months, I will count you as if you passed the first test, otherwise...... My lab is never too much material. ”
Coke is the unit of measurement of magic.
During the wizard's apprentice test, the dark crystal was responsible for measuring the magic in the human body.
Generally, it is required to reach 10 joules before the age of fifteen to be considered talented.
However, Thor's magical talent is definitely less than 10 joules, maybe even less than 5 joules, otherwise Mentor Kaz would not think that he has no chance at all.
It's really hard to do what it took three years to achieve in three months.
Thor took a half-step forward, and had the heart to ask his mentor for some time.
But Kaz raised his hand and didn't let Thor speak again.
He said to Duke and Angela, who were gloating about the schadenfreude, and Angela, who was looking sympathetic, "You two come with me." ”
"You," he said, glancing at Thor, "learn from Mark first." ”
Mark is the second-level apprentice in the lab.
After saying that, Kaz left the lab with two other newcomers, not knowing what to do or where to go.
Mark was not surprised and delivered it all the way to the door.
When Mentor Kaz and the group left, he closed the door and went back to the cabinet to tidy up.
He didn't even pay attention to Thor's meaning.
Thor wasn't discouraged, and there was a Khonsha behind him.
Now he has met Khonsha's requirements and has become a student of Mentor Kaz.
Imagine that she would soon convey the next order to Thor.
It's just that Khonsha uses Thor mostly.
She forcibly influenced Thor's elemental perception regardless of his situation, most likely in order to get Thor to choose Mentor Kaz.
If Thor wants to take advantage of Khontha's momentum to become stronger, then he can no longer be used as cannon fodder by the other party who can be discarded at any time.
He must carefully navigate between refusing the other party's dangerous orders and obtaining the other's asylum.
First of all, the study of witchcraft must not stop.
"Senior," Thor took the initiative to walk behind Mark, "Can I help you clean up with me?" ”
Mark turned around, not at all surprised by Thor's choice, as if he had been waiting for him to speak.
"Alas, you newcomers don't have magic crystals, no credits, and you can do manual work. For the next month, you'll be in charge of cleaning the lab, and I'll spend an hour a day teaching you. ”
Thor looked around the small but full of things in the laboratory, and said hesitantly, "Clean the whole laboratory?" Senior, I don't know if with my current ability will delay your affairs. ”
"Of course I don't give you all the work. I'll tell you what to do, and you'll just be in charge of the final touches. ”
Mark suddenly raised his hand, his palm splitting open a mouth, and a bright red tongue sticked out, almost licking Thor's face.
"If you don't concentrate on your work and make a mistake, I'll tear off your skin!"
