Inside Professor Opal's private office.

Russell nodded: "Yes, professor, I did try to find some tasks on the campus website, but the tasks that freshmen can take basically require task experience to accept." ”

"Then you're going to pick up some tasks, so you'll have mission experience." Opal laughed.

"So I'm going to take on some assignments, but they require me to have mission experience." Russell shrugged helplessly.

The assignments assigned by Professor Black Amber are covert and obviously cannot be publicly counted in the resume.

Opal stretched out his hand to ask Russell to take a seat:

"I just wanted to send a task recently, so I might as well send it to you directly."

"Don't you need to put it on the official website and open the bidding?" Russell knew that this kind of task reward was mainly given by the school and not by the teacher, and it was associated with some things in the world of ordinary people.

"There is no need for this, professors always have some power compared to ordinary teachers." Opal shakes his hand.

There is no plot for ordinary teachers in this story, and the three teachers with a sense of existence are all professors. Russell muttered silently.

"What's more, even if the requirement must be placed on the official website for open recruitment, I can design one, and only you can meet the requirements. For example, freshmen from the Necromantic and Life Department who won the first place in the entrance examination and defeated the old students in the magic duel. Opal laughed as he spoke, as if mocking the mechanic.

Russell probably guessed that Professor Opal was optimistic about him and intended to train him. In the academy, there will also be various factional conflicts between teachers, and befriending potential students is always a kind of capital.

You know, if you can reach the third grade and enter the higher school, the status of students will soar, even surpassing some teachers. There is no such thing as a curriculum, but it is more like a place for geniuses to study.

Professor Opal handed over a stack of papers:

"Russell, this task may be related to the spirit system, and it happens to need to be solved by a necromantic and life-type psychic like you. Normally, I wouldn't give this assignment to new students who have just entered this year, but you're different.

"You and Clara were able to defeat the Emerald Cat and the Tarantula. This shows that your level of magic combat is extremely good even among first-year students. ”

Russell took the file:

"Well, I'm a mid-year strength, but I can skip the challenge."

Professor Opal clearly didn't understand Subway's division of strength: "What is mid-first year strength?" ”

Without waiting for Russell to explain, he immediately smiled again:

"But it doesn't matter, it's up to you anyway.

"The abandoned towers in the academy have been making strange noises from time to time lately, and there are students who have encountered strange things in the neighborhood.

"Divination and prophecy show that there is a more than 80% probability that the ghost is haunted, and the level of the ghost should not be too high, and the danger of the relevant investigation is also within a reasonable range.

"I also had a teacher investigate before, but I didn't expect the anomaly to disappear briefly as soon as the teacher went. A few days after the investigation ended, strange voices reappeared.

"We all have research tasks in place, and it's unlikely that we'll spend time monitoring this, so I'll leave it to students like you.

"From now on, you're in charge of investigating the tower, which is probably going to take a long time.

"If you can find out the truth or provide core clues, you will be awarded 15 credits. If you can directly solve the problem of the spirit, or if the level of the spirit exceeds expectations, there is a great additional reward! For example, a large amount of House Coins. ”

Russell patted his chest with his right hand:

"I'll try to get the job done!"

Speaking of which, the ghost anomaly in the tower has appeared recently, and the Demon Order "Chaos Red" should have only recently started to make a big move.

Will there be any correlation between the two?

Russell couldn't help but diverge his thoughts.

Around him, many seemingly unrelated events were connected to each other.

And among the people he is in contact with now, the only nocturne classmate who is suspected of being a demon believer is from the Department of Necromancy and Life!

Russell believed that this gloomy girl, who was as professional as him and who must have hidden hole cards, was more than capable of creating a similar phenomenon of spirit trouble......

Thinking about it, another question popped up in Russell's heart.

But what does it mean to the Demon Order to just haunt an abandoned tower?

"By the way, Professor Opal, I just have a question for you."

Russell retracted his divergent thoughts, returned to reality, and took the opportunity to ask the question he had been puzzled by before:

"After listening to your lesson on the principles of witchcraft, I've made a slight improvement on the dementorship that is an extension of spiritism. In the process, I feel that my spiritual level has increased slightly, why is that? ”

Opal's expression suddenly became a little solemn:

"I'm afraid you're feeling the feedback of practicing the supernatural, which is another way to elevate your supernatural powers in addition to normal spirituality.

"Generally speaking, new students only need to be exposed to the corresponding knowledge after half a year of enrollment. Russell, your talent is really good. ”

"Acting extraordinary?" Russell was puzzled.

Opal explains:

"Blood sacrifices by Aztecs and demon worshippers, the communication of oaks by Druidic priests, the attainment of knowledge by enlightened people, and the accumulation of merit by transcendental beings of certain religions were all seen as ways to practice transcendence. That is, through some kind of practice, rather than just sitting in one place meditating, contemplating, accumulating strength, and improving oneself. ”

Russell clapped his hands violently:

"I see, it's just to do task upgrades!

"The character sits in one place all the time meditating or repeating training, and there is no argument with the world, and there is no way to trigger the plot at all. Therefore, the story should be set to do certain things to level up quickly, such as treasure hunting, playing methods, fighting life and death, killing monsters to gain experience points, and completing system tasks.

"Damn, I should have thought that there must be such a setting!"

Opal felt Russell's logic was a bit weird, but didn't point it out.

"So, Professor, how do I practice transcendence and get feedback?" Russell asked again.

Opal replied:

"As long as you practice the core courses of the major, you will have a certain probability of getting feedback on the extraordinary practice. But it's useless to use magic at a superficial level, such as elemental and energy students throwing fireballs wildly into the air.

"What you need is a deep understanding of your professional core competencies and practice it.

"The core subject of your first-year major is spiritism, so you have a good chance of getting extraordinary feedback when you communicate, dispel, perceive, comfort, and domesticate powerful spirits in depth, as well as when you actively improve your spiritism and deepen your understanding of spirits. The way each person practices transcendence is different and varies from person to person. ”

Russell's eyes revealed a bit of joy:

"Then if I can solve the problem of the spirit in the tower, and even catch the spirit of the haunting and turn it into my own contract spirit, will I also be able to get feedback?"

"Of course." Opal smiled but not smiled.

"Thank you, teacher!"
