6. Skip grades

After reciting the basics of alchemy in the narrow space pool all night, Ruiji was also a little tired, so she casually found some leftovers in the refrigerator to solve her breakfast, and yawned and went back to her room to rest.

Fujinaga's affairs were very disturbing, and he didn't make any progress in his studies all night, so he could only review what he had learned before to calm his mind. The most complex Treatise on the Elements and the thirteen lines of Latin on the Jade Catalogue have been memorized, and the rest of the practical knowledge needs to be slowed down.

The requirement for not reading is to read the first three chapters within half a month, and the scope of the Olympic Alchemy Competition only involves the first three chapters, and there is no need to spend a lot of extra time learning other skills, because she understands them all.

The last step is to memorize the first third of the entries in the Alchemy Materials Illustrated Guide 2023 Edition.

Follow the schedule, divide the learning content into several blocks and gradually digest it, no matter how stupid the witch remembers 60% of the knowledge, 60% is enough to cope with most of the alchemy activities, and the remaining 40% is very random, like a special countermeasure card in a tower defense game.

They are not versatile enough, and they are not useful in ordinary alchemy activities, such as the "Soul Resurrection Potion" that made Rui Ji in the limelight in the alchemy class last time.

The witches don't pay special attention to the topic of mummies, and there are probably only two witches in the entire Waseda High School who are interested in mummies. Shimoda is the first teacher, and Ruiji is barely second.

After arranging the next learning tasks, Ruiji leaned back to the tatami mat.

A day with mixed emotions came to an end in my sleep.

……

I slept until the afternoon and saw Shizuru drying bedding and clothes in the courtyard. She changed into a bright red hakama and muscle loops, and wore white footbags and red straw sandals on her feet, and she was dressed very formally, and a pine crane pattern Chihaya was placed aside.

Chihaya only wore it when festivals, kagura dances, and marriages were held, and the most unlikely marriages were ruled out, and only festivals and kagura dances were left.

There are specific dress requirements, and you must be a shrine maiden in your home job to be eligible to wear it, and temporary shrine maidens recruited during the busy period of the shrine cannot wear them.

"Do you have a job later?"

"Well, if you want to go to the ceremony of inviting the gods held at Fujina Shrine, all small shrines in Tokyo will send a representative, the Fujinaga family has a friendship with the Sakuma family, and they were also invited, sister, you don't know how to dance kagura dance, there is no third shrine maiden at Sakuma Shrine, so I can only go."

Shizuru is so skilled that it makes people feel distressed.

Riji walked over and hugged her sister, habitually rubbing her face against her neck.

"Good work, Miss Head of the Family. Later...... You can also teach me how to be a shrine maiden, and I will learn from you how to wear shrine maiden costumes, and Kagura Dance will also learn well. ”

"Sister, don't be like this, I'm afraid."

As if frightened by tens of thousands of tons, her sister pushed her away and pulled out her staff.

"In the past, I didn't want to be a shrine maiden even if I was killed, I didn't want to inherit the broken shrine at home, and I wanted to sell it to the Tokyo Vacant Development Department and earn 770 million yen to live a good life, but now I suddenly changed my sex and said that I wanted to be a shrine maiden...... What bad ideas are you playing again? ”

Facing the vigilant gaze of a falcon, Ruiji felt ten thousand wrongs in her heart.

"My stupid sister, you pointed your staff at me, is there no prodigal girl in this world who has turned back? Why can't it be that I have repented and wanted to live a good life with you, change my past mistakes, and take on the responsibility of supporting my family? ”

"Pull down."

Shizuru poked under Rydy's collarbone with his staff.

The musculature there is soft and well developed.

"Why don't my sister go to Kabukicho and apply for a Kanban girl, as long as you wear a kimono and stand at the door to solicit customers, you can earn 2,000 yen an hour, you are so beautiful, the store manager is willing to offer a price of 3,000 yen per hour. Last time she asked me if I wanted to come, and if I came, I would give me more, and I refused her. ”

"What? And this kind of good thing? ”

Go to the Kabukicho Kanban, you can get 3,000 yuan without doing anything, work eight hours a day after class, and make a net profit of 24,000 yuan, 720,000 yuan a month.

Although it is not as much as the compensation she received from Miss Eudora, she earns 8.64 million yen a year, not including tips and overtime pay on holidays.

If she had gone to work without hesitation before, now she has a heavy responsibility, with the identity of Snow Owl Lingyu, and time does not allow her to engage in work with too low gold content.

Lingyu the Snow Owl earns millions of yen in a mission, which is still average, and the upper limit is very high, surpassing the income level of most witches in Japan.

High income is directly proportional to high risk, and Rydge has not dared to disclose the strange story of encountering undersea dormancy in the waters of Bermuda. If you accidentally mention a word, Jingliu will ask to the end.

"It's not a good thing to work in Kabukicho. I have a friend who works there, and the witch who comes to the store always looks at her with lewd eyes, behaves frivolously, and offers to ONS with her. After persuasion from me and a few other friends, she resigned from the store manager last night and was ready to find another safe one. ”

Unconsciously, Jingliu became bitter again.

"I was joking just now, don't take it to heart. I don't have any sister who doesn't worry about my sister going to work in a place like Kabukicho where the environment is dirty, and it's ......"

After a few glances at Ruiji's career line and figure, which was getting better and better, her cheeks suddenly turned red.

"And what?"

"It's nothing, sister, how did you play with Fujinaga-senpai last night?"

Look away, nothing happens.

"Not bad."

Ruiji is smiling and peaceful. She had just come out of the hot memories, but her stupid sister wanted to send her back, worthy of her own sister.

"We talked a lot about studying, walking around the island, having a nice dinner, and playing until nine."

"I hope you will be friendly in the future. I'll go to Fujinaga Shrine first, and I'll leave the rest to you. ”

"Rogerβ€”"

Standing and saluting, watching Shizuru walk out of the shrine, Ruiji took over the housework of drying, and hung up the clothes one by one with magic to fully receive the direct sunlight.

The drying rack hangs the underwear of two people, one layer per person. The first layer is Riji's, and the second layer is still flowing. The first layer of underwear is very ordinary, because she rarely wears a decisive suit, and she feels ashamed every time she wears it.

The second layer is extraordinary, two pieces of underwear come into a set, each set has a different color style, but the style is more mature, the fabric is thin, and the transparency is high, unlike the type that female high school students like.

"It's amazing to wear such a color at a young age, and it will become a big thing in the future."

Looking back at her underwear with cartoon patterns, Ruiji was ashamed of herself.

The ritual of inviting the deity at Fujinaga Shrine begins at midnight and lasts until the next morning, with preparations for the ceremony in the evening. Not surprisingly, Jingliu won't be home tonight.

I didn't have time to talk about the plan to go to Inuming Village to hunt monsters and improve the power of demons, so I sent a message to make up for it. White lies are told too much, and over the years, she will not be able to get rid of the bad habit of lying.

At present, only the identity of the snow owl Lingyu can not be revealed, as well as what happened last night, a total of two.

After finishing the drying work, washing and eating, the next step is to read a book and practice magic. Life goes according to plan, and she starts to find the right rhythm and enjoy it.

Three days and the moon turned into a cat crawling at his feet, recuperating for tonight's hunting monsters.

Ruiji is very interested in skipping a grade to learn magic, and the current learning progress is "Witches Must Learn Level 3 Magic", and there are still two-fifths of them left, and they will learn it in a week. Why not skip "The Witch Must Learn Level 4 Magic" and skip directly to level 5 or even 6, and use the time saved to learn more other magic?

The idea of making a bold attempt germinated in my heart, the level 3 magic book requires a minimum magic power of 2500, and she has a magic power of 5000, which is double the minimum limit of magic power, why do you want to continue to stick to level 3 magic?

Closing the cover of "Witches Must Learn Level 3 Magic", Ruiji finds "Witches Must Learn Level 4 Magic" on the bookshelf. From the first volume to the last volume, the contents of this series are different from the names of the magic, the theoretical knowledge and the method of constructing the magic, and the magic is arranged in the same order and quantity.

The relationship between low-level magic and high-level magic is equivalent to elementary school language and junior high school language, with increasing difficulty from bottom to top, but the essence is the same.

It is precisely because of the same essence that grade skipping learning can be achieved.

Ruiji confidently opened the higher-level magic book, and the three days and moon at his feet jumped up and pressed the book cover.

"There's something I forgot to tell you, little ghost."

She sticks out her tongue and licks her paws and writes in the air with her tail.

β€”β€”2000。

"What does this set of numbers mean?"

"Go and improve 2000 mana and learn again, directly learn level 5, level 5 magic theory also includes the part of the previous low-level spells, don't waste time and continue to flutter in level 3 and 4. Whenever you successfully finish learning one magic book and want to learn the next one, the magic power must be at least 2000 higher than the current one to stabilize. Don't ask, asking is your paternal mother's experience. ”

"Anyway, you can get a diploma after completing level 5. Since there is no need to waste time learning the previous spells, then I will immediately go buy a level 5 magic book and wait for the early advancement. ”

"I like how self-motivated you look. Don't be hot for three minutes, and don't live up to the surname Sakuma. ”

Sanriyue's expression didn't know whether he was satisfied or delighted, the cat's tail was raised above his head, and the blood in his body was boiling.

The owner is willing to hunt monsters, indicating that she can relive the thrill of the turmoil of the Warring States period. Onimaru Kunitsuna's knife was born to kill, and it is only possible to devour the monsters and the magic in them that makes them happy.

Ruiji packed up the books on the table and took the three-day moon in the state of Taidao to visit the Tsutaya bookstore in Ginza. During the first and second weeks of the summer vacation, there is a student discount for teaching and auxiliary books, and the store staff will get a 7.8% discount by showing the student ID.

Last time, I bought a book without waiting for the holiday, and I missed the holiday-limited special, and I didn't make any money. Alchemy books are not included in high school textbooks, and there are no discounts on holidays, only for members, which is a blessing in misfortune.

The saddest thing in life is to save up for a long time to buy something, and then discount and reduce the price as soon as you buy it. I haven't started to enjoy it when I buy it early, and other witches can enjoy discounts immediately when I buy it late, and the store has no price insurance policy, and the money lost is recognized by myself.

The bookshelves selling teaching aids are placed in the most conspicuous position, and the witches who walk into the bookstore can see it. The witch who sells the teaching assistant is very thinly dressed and has little fabric, and the focus of the sales is not books at all.

"In order to make more money for students, the bookstore is also working hard."
