Chapter 1: A New Beginning
Early morning.
The sky was bright.
Link. Grande woke up punctually, got out of bed, and opened the window.
The cold morning breeze blows on the face, cool and refreshing.
It's been two months since the start of the spring semester, and there has been a lot of calm and not much turmoil.
All the lively things that happened during the holiday were all gone.
The new blood of the storm sea who died outside the academy had no one to talk to the local apprentice at all;
The once-uproarious witch affirmative action movement quickly subsided after the intervention of unspeakable forces.
As the mid-term exam time approaches, whether it is the college "forum" or a private chat, everyone is most concerned about the two-district competition held three days after the midterm exam!
Of course, the focus of the new blood of the Storm Sea in the South District is not the same as that of the local apprentices in the North District.
Different roles, different positions, and different considerations are naturally different.
The local apprentices in the North District turned over the results of the previous competitions between the two districts and showed off proudly.
As if they hadn't started yet, they had another crushing overall victory!
Selectively ignoring that the North District is playing more and less every year.
And he has never squeezed out the top three even once for new blood in the Southern District.
The hot discussion about the new blood of the storm sea in the southern district is which 30 people can represent the new blood of this year and face the more than 1,000 local apprentices of the same class in the northern district!
30 people against 1000+.
Just listening to the comparison of numbers, it faintly gives people a sense of pathos and heroism.
Link didn't feel that way, he was just steadily advancing his preparations for the two-district competition while studying the new courses for the spring semester.
"System."
After washing, Link wiped the water stains on his face, looked at himself in the mirror and looked at himself who had grown taller again, and thought silently in his heart.
An unpretentious subtitle-type panel emerges.
γLink. Grande

Card Pack: None
Used: "Occlumency" study card, "Pomona. Sprout's botanical talent "Talent Card," Filius. Flitwick's Charms Talent "Talent Card," Severus. Snape's Potions Talent "Talent Card."
Number of card draws: 1 (10 standard second-level magic stones)γ
Compared to two months ago, Link has improved a lot.
First of all, the third layer of meditation has been cultivated, and the spiritual power has reached the standard of promoting to a third-class wizard apprentice, 75 standard units, and nine runes have also been constructed.
The reason why he hasn't been promoted from a second-class wizard apprentice to a third-class wizard apprentice is because the sea of knowledge/spiritual power has ushered in a small transformation.
Before this little metamorphosis was over, Link was still a second-class wizard apprentice.
Each person has different qualifications, different learnings, different levels of understanding of meditation, and different degrees of mastery of runes, so the time of the transformation period is also different, some are longer and some are short.
During this period, you can continue to practice the fourth layer of meditation, and you can also continue to accumulate the amount of spiritual power.
This is the reason why some geniuses are still second-class wizard apprentices in the third year, but they don't panic at all.
As soon as the transformation was over, the progress of the cultivation went up suddenly.
Link estimates that even if he can't be promoted before the two-district competition, he can complete this small transformation in the early stage of the two-district competition.
So it's not a big problem, it doesn't have much impact.
The second is that the reserves of witchcraft are extremely rich and comprehensive.
Both the water 0-ring sorcery and the wood-type 0-ring sorcery have mastered 28 doors.
Among them, to reach the level of innovation, there are 2 water systems and 2 wood systems;
Those who have reached the level of perfection have 10 doors each;
The remaining small percentage is at the proficient level, a smaller part is at the proficiency level, and the vast majority are just getting started.
In terms of offense and defense, Link's most important thing at this stage is not witchcraft, but witchcraft.
Stocking up on so many 0-ring witchcraft is to deal with a variety of different situations, and it needs to be fully functional.
Finally, there is the number of card draws.
After two months of accumulation, and after Wizard Celin sold in the Lidaylily series for nearly two consecutive months, he generously reissued 100 million magic stones.
Link finally had enough standard first-level magic stones to exchange for a standard second-level magic stone in exchange for a number of card draws.
It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, and Link decides to smoke it now!
"God Blessing!"
Link thought silently in his heart and began to draw cards.
Unpretentious, without any special effects, the system gacha ends in an instant.
The Captions panel has been updated:
[Card Pack: "Multithreaded Thinking" Status Card (once every 96 hours)]
Link couldn't help but wonder how he drew a new card instead of continuing to draw a talent card?
The previous three talent cards from the HP world were very powerful and helped Link a lot.
This wool has not been cleaned yet, why did it suddenly change?
I don't know if this cost 1 standard second-level magic stone, which is converted to 1200 standard first-level magic stones, the effect of the "multi-threaded thinking" status card, whether it is strong or not.
If the effect is powerful, how powerful is it.
After all, it is deliberately marked that it can only be used once every 96 hours!
Without delay, Link immediately used the "multi-threaded thinking" status card.
The whole person changed in an instant!
The perceived world changed in an instant.
Link feels like he's completely changed his mind!
It's as if it's updated from the Pentium 486 to the Intel i9-13900ks.
Maybe it's an exaggeration, but that's what it means.
Link intuitively felt that his brain's computing power had increased several times, and he could think about at least 8 questions at the same time, and mobilize all the memories and knowledge in his mind, and hit all doubts with all his might.
Some of the doubts accumulated in the disciplines of "Mathematics", "Runics", "Pharmacy", "Physiology", "Pathology" and so on were solved in an instant.
If he hadn't started the "Occlumency" in time, Link would have felt that his brain would have been overloaded and burned out.
It's like the computer is running too fast, the CPU is overloaded, and it burns out and smokes.
Rao is brain can withstand it, and Link only lasted less than 3 seconds before "unloading" the "multi-threaded thinking" status card.
The consumption of mental power by this card is really terrifying.
It is almost "burning" at a rate of 3 points of mental power per second, "burning" wildly.
With Link's current mental power reserves, the "Multi-threaded Thinking" status card can only be maintained for a maximum of 25 seconds.
However, for the sake of small lives, it can be maintained for 10 to 15 seconds at most.
More time won't do.
Otherwise, once the mental power is exhausted in a short period of time, I'm afraid that I will go into shock on the spot?
While the afterglow of the "multi-threaded thinking" status card was still there, Link came up with the best match for using this card, and the best use case.
"Occlumency" + "Multithreaded Thinking" status card = humanoid supercomputer equipped with top-of-the-line AI.
Whether it is in learning, research, experimenting, or in decryption, exploration and combat, it can play an amazing role.
As a rough calculation, Link felt like he was instantly strengthened by two to three times!
"It's terrifying."
Link gasped, making a modest contribution to the warming of the wizarding world.
Rubbing his faintly swollen head, Link walked out of the bathroom, changed his clothes, and went downstairs.
Canteen.
Jasmine had already helped Link make breakfast and waited in his usual seat.
"What's the matter? It's a little late today. β
Jasmine has also grown a little taller, with a beautiful face, a graceful figure, shining blonde hair, clear blue eyes, curling and gentle.
Her current temperament has changed a lot compared to when she first entered Revo Soth Academy.
It's like two people.
"A little thing."
Link sat down, picked up the knife and fork, and didn't explain directly.
How can this kind of thing be explained?
I don't want to lie and deceive people, so I can only be perfunctory.
"Big guy, big sister, good morning."
Five brothers, Buck. Watt, Dalton. Cologne, Ezio. Niche, Dijay. Finley, Lynn. Hewitt, at this time, came over with a plate and greeted politely.
In terms of appearance and daily performance, the five brothers have distinct images and are easy to identify.
Buck. Watt is tall-faced, talkative, loves to be reckless, loves to bully, and the reason why he has become the boss on the surface is purely because he talks a lot.
Ezio. Niche is long and thin, and the lines of his face are like knife cuts, like his temper, he is very stiff and straight, and he doesn't talk much.
Crazy and silly is just his disguise and protective color.
Dj. Finley is a delicate young man, if he doesn't deliberately speak in a rough voice, his voice is soft, and he has a good fight with Yuchang Hua.
But his character is truly honest and honest.
Lynn. Hewitt's appearance is very ordinary, the kind that is difficult to find when thrown into the crowd, sullen, but he is a typical example of wisdom and foolishness.
After the five brothers huddled, in Buck. Led by Watt, he acted perversely for a long time.
They have offended a lot of people, but they can mix left and right.
It's because of Lynn. Hewitt was giving advice.
"Early."
Link put down his knife and fork, picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, and asked lightly, "How are you preparing?" β
Naturally, he didn't ask about the preparation for next week's midterm exams, but about the two districts.
The seven people here can all get into the top 15 or even the top 10 in the midterm exams.
Naturally, this is not a big question.
After the five brothers moved closer to Link, Link didn't hide his secrets, and took them to prepare for the common form of the two districts over the years.
No reservations.
As for how well they prepared, Link never asked in the past, it was purely up to them to realize.
Now that the two districts are approaching, I just asked.
"It's good."
Buck. Watt was the first to answer.
"Okay."
Ezio. Niche nodded.
Dj. Finley replied in a thick voice, "Thank you, big brother, for your continued guidance." β
Lynn. Hewitt pondered for a while and said, "Look at the form of this year's two-district competition. If there is no new form, there is no problem. If there is a new form, it is hard to say. β
"Well, I think so too."
Dalton, who has a very weak sense of presence and is easy to be overlooked. Colon spoke out in favor of Lynn. Hewitt's view.
"What about you, Jasmine?"
Link looked at Jasmine, who was quietly listening.
Her personality gradually calmed down, except for chatting with Link a few more words, she gradually didn't like to talk much.
Jasmine stretched out her right hand and gestured with her middle finger.
Link understands in seconds.
This is a promotion to a second-class wizard apprentice.
Not bad.
Everyone has a new beginning.
Good start.
