Chapter 59: The Real Use of Mentors
"Byron-senpai."
"Huh?"
"Do you want to write off the debt you owe me?" Thor smiled and spread his hands to Byron.
"Uh-huh???"
……
2 a.m.
Khonsha lay on the ground.
She doesn't like to sleep in bed.
It's safer to lie under the bed.
It's ridiculous!
She is the most powerful second-level apprentice, and she is the most promising of all second-level apprentices to enter third-level now.
But she was still afraid.
More afraid than anyone else.
And the best way to hide her fear is to let others fear her first.
She raised her hand and gently touched her face, touching the intersection of her cheek and the glass, and the tips of her fingers began to tremble.
"Knock knock."
Knock on the door regularly.
The sound is not loud or small.
If someone sleeps, they may not wake up.
But Khonsha heard it clearly.
The eyes in her head were pressed against the glass wall excitedly, and she faintly saw a small man behind the door.
"Thor?" She got excited.
Thor, now her man, is an apprentice's brain every time he comes.
Kong Sha crawled out from under the bed and straightened up her clothes to make sure she still looked good.
She twisted her waist and walked to the door of the dormitory, opening the door.
Outside the door, Thor kept a polite smile and looked at Khonsha sincerely.
"Senior sister, do you want to have another second-level apprentice's brain?"
Eyeballs are churning.
Khontha's gaze fell on Thor's left hand, and he almost smashed the doorknob in his hand with all his strength.
She leaned sideways to let Thor in.
"You...... Did you do a witch body transformation? ”
"yes, I survived."
Kong Sha smiled coldly, her little servant had already escaped her control when she wasn't paying attention!
Seeing that Kong Sha's expression became dangerous, Thor immediately said, "It's also the credit of Senior Sister Potion, although I don't need the second potion, I will always bring gifts to Senior Sister." ”
Gift?
Brain!
Kongsha's eyes fluttered, and the white slurry seemed to boil.
But she finally calmed down and recognized Thor's promise.
"Since you don't need my potion anymore, why are you willing to help me with my brain?"
"First, it was Senior Sister Kong Sha who saved my life, if you are in need, of course I will not refuse. Second, I begged Sister Kong Sha to save me again. Saul said seriously, "In the future, I will work hard to prepare more and better gifts for Sister Kongsha." ”
Khonsa looked at Thor's left hand, she didn't ask Thor how he did it, and he wouldn't tell the truth if he did.
At the end, Kong Sha smiled charmingly.
"Tell me, who are you going to kill?"
Nothing happened overnight.
Classes are held the next day.
Thor made an unprecedented appearance in a public class.
Klee turned her head and saw him, as if she had seen a ghost.
"Why are you here?"
"I figured it out, and here it is." Thor smiled and sat down next to Klee.
"Your hands?" Klee noticed Thor's unconcealed left hand at a glance.
"I made a glove, and the craftsmanship is okay."
Klee blinked, "It's not pretty." ”
Thor: "......"
As she spoke, the apprentice of the Knowing of All Things stepped onto the podium.
The apprentice for this course is very fixed, and it has always been the first apprentice of the second level.
Today he is talking about the herbs section of the botanical chapter.
Thor rarely heard the end from the beginning to the end, not a word.
Then he found that this senior really read it word for word!
So what's the point of this lesson?
It's more hypnotic than automatic listening.
Not a word of explanation.
Beside her, Klee was already writing and drawing, and Thor glanced at her, thinking that she seemed to be analyzing a model of some Tier 0 witchcraft.
He didn't look closely.
It's not appropriate.
Second, he was afraid that Klee would ask him for money.
After the second-level apprentice on the stage finished speaking, he put the book down casually and said, "If you have any questions, you can ask." He took another book out of his bag and studied it there.
There were very few people in the classroom, nearly half as small as Sol had last time.
Few of the people who stayed here were listening attentively.
So what is the purpose of this lesson?
Thor pondered with his chin pinched, "Fan Da says that knowledge is a tool for wizards. So how do you use these tools? ”
After staring at the senior for a while, Thor put away the book and got up with his schoolbag on his back.
"You're leaving again?" Kelly said without raising her head.
But Thor walked fast and didn't have time to answer Klee's words.
He walked under the podium, faced the senior sitting crookedly behind the podium, tilted his head, and asked respectfully.
"Senior, can I ask you a question?"
"One credit, five minutes." The senior is still immersed in the book, as if answering questions reflexively.
"Yes. Can you keep my question a secret? ”
The senior looked up.
Thor's voice wasn't high, but it was audible to the apprentices in the first few rows.
Someone cast a curious look.
The senior who was lecturing suddenly smiled and chanted a spell.
Next, his voice rang in Thor's head.
"Two-way communication, you can speak normally, and other people can't hear the voice and can't see your lips clearly. But now it's 2 credits. ”
Buy Strong, Sell Strong!
Still, Thor's eyes lit up.
The communication technique is a 0-order spell, and this two-way communication technique is not a 1-order spell?
What does it mean for a senior who can choose to learn this kind of auxiliary Tier 1 sorcery?
He'll certainly have more practical witchcraft!
Before Thor could speak, the senior said, "Pay in the credits first." ”
Saul asked, "Senior, how can I give you the credits?" Do I go to the registration office first? ”
The other party shook his head and took out a piece of paper from under the table, on which the time and name were registered.
"Take the badge on your clothes, activate it with mental power, and press it here to leave a mark. I go to the check-in office every day to redeem it. If you don't have any credits and cheat me, you need to pay ten times the compensation. ”
Speaking of which, the senior was quite excited, as if he hoped that someone would try it.
Thor didn't hesitate, and left a mark as the other party said.
Also written in the upper left corner of the paper: Monroe, Second Apprentice.
It should be the other person's name.
After Thor left his mark, Monroe took out another blue hourglass and placed it on the table for Thor to look at, then inverted the hourglass.
The timer begins.
Thor spoke almost immediately: "Senior, why is the same Tier 0 witchcraft used on ordinary people and newcomers who have just become apprentices so much less effective?" ”
"Because of resistance." Monroe looked at Thor and asked rhetorically, "You killed someone?" ”
Thor was stunned, his expression becoming wary.
"It's okay, I'm just curious to ask, you don't have to answer." Monroe waved his hand and continued to explain, "Resistance is divided into spiritual resistance and magic resistance. ”
"A new apprentice, although his magic and mental power have not been greatly improved, but their daily study, meditation, construction of runes, and witchcraft practice are all improving their own resistance. Coupled with the mystical infiltration in the wizard's tower, people's tolerance for witchcraft will be qualitatively improved. ”
"But these resistances are actually very small, it's okay to face 0-order tricks, but if you face witchcraft above the 1st order, if you want to rely on your body to carry it, you are looking for death."
"The real way you can avoid being harmed by other people's witchcraft is to defend against witchcraft. Many of the wandering wizards outside learn not offensive witchcraft first, but defensively. They prefer to fight with swords because they know their own vulnerability and the horror of witchcraft. ”
"I'll explain this question here, no matter how deep it is, it's not suitable for you to know."
Thor nodded, and then immediately asked, "What is the difference between the first-level apprentice and the second-level apprentice?" ”
Monroe's eyes widened, a little excited, "It's not bad." Although apprentices are divided into first, second, and third, they are all only apprentices after all, and there is no qualitative difference. There is no significant increase in mental power, and it is impossible to solidify witchcraft, so it relies heavily on on-the-spot reactions when fighting. When you reach 50 joules and learn the first Tier 1 sorcery, you can be called a Level 2 Apprentice. But in reality, even if you only have 40 joules of magic and have learned Tier 1 sorcery, you can change to the badge of a Tier 2 apprentice! ”
Thor immediately grasped the point, "So the foundation of becoming a second-level apprentice is to master a first-order sorcery?" ”
Monroe nodded, "But you can't lag too far behind in mana, and it's not too good to get to level two too quickly." ”
He was still crooked, his chin in his hands.
"When you reach the second level, you will find that people are not much stronger, but the world is more terrifying."
