Time flows like water, always passing by during Li Qing’s obsession with magic research. On the eve of the Lunar New Year holiday, the recognition progress of the Magic Simulation System module in the bottom right corner finally reached one hundred percent.
And then, nothing happened.
Li Qing grinned and continued to place a new motherboard on his body for identification.
CPU, memory, motherboard, how can the basic core components of a computer be missing.
After calculating the progress, it should be completed after the New Year.
As for magic practice, his Mage’s Hand magic can now be cast within three seconds and maintained for two hours. The more proficient he became in its use, the more Li Qing could feel the crudeness of the Mage’s Hand magic.
It should be more refined, more efficient.
But Li Qing didn’t dare to attempt revision or optimization research. Although this approach is very similar to deriving mathematical formulas and optimizing bloated code levels and bug fixes, his life is the only one he has.
Magic Theory has repeatedly emphasized that if you attempt to create or modify a magic without accumulating enough magical knowledge, the result is likely to make your head explode like a watermelon.
So now, practicing magic, meditating, and reading other books, while asking questions at his monthly magic lectures.
"Master Rosen, I would like to ask about casting the Mage’s Hand magic, where I can sense that the twelve magic nodes connected to the Mage’s Hand seem to be doing useless work to me..."
At a lecture in early February, Li Qing raised his question.
Rosenberg was somewhat surprised and said, "I didn’t expect your magic talent to be quite good, it seems that the human ability to become a Mage at thirty is indeed unparalleled."
Li Qing smiled slightly without speaking, anticipating Rosenberg’s explanation.
Despite Rosenberg’s disdain for a group of students, he still explained, "The purpose of the Mage’s Hand when it was created was for the convenience of Mages in taking objects. After optimizing magic creation to be usable and have some practical significance, it was never researched further."
"Why?" Li Qing couldn’t help but ask.
"Why?" Rosenberg started laughing and flicked his catfish whiskers, "After all, this is just a Level 0 trick. High-level Mages don’t care about it, and Apprentices who need to learn it don’t have the ability, and optimizing or creating magic is not easy. Maybe someday you’ll advance to Legend, accumulate enough experience and knowledge, and perhaps try to optimize a magic or create your own."
After a pause, he slowly said, "Your progress seems good, so if a Mage wants to have some accumulation, I believe you should go to the library and find the Magic Book Complete Level 0 Tricks."
"Thank you for the mentor’s reminder!"
Rosenberg was quite satisfied with Li Qing’s respectful words, he nodded slightly, raised his head to look at everyone, and clapped his hands, saying, "Alright everyone, after two more lecture classes we will conduct an apprentice exam, I hope you are well prepared."
The sudden announcement made everyone’s steps about to leave stop inadvertently, someone asked, "Master Rosen, may I ask what the apprentice exam content is?"
Rosenberg’s blurry facial features revealed a sly smile, "But I can remind you, the rules of each world are different. If you can’t interpret them, you’ll have to use magic, so, prepare well."
The smile on his face couldn’t help but make Li Qing’s heart tremble, this full malicious intention, what exactly is it trying to do.
The final meaningful words made Li Qing secretly shudder, fearing that this exam might be deadly.
Subconsciously, he touched the motherboard close to his chest, then quickly exited the classroom, activated his badge, and followed its guidance to the library.
Rosenberg gave him very good advice, now that the basic Magic Theory knowledge is completed, continue studying magic, the more you use it the more qualified you are to analyze its essence.
As for the books Magic Rune Introduction and Mage Promotion Path, Li Qing only roughly looked at them. Magic Rune is more about arranging magic arrays and enchantment knowledge, can learn runes, but currently the focus is still on learning Level 0 magic.
While the Mage Promotion Path discusses the standards for becoming a Mage and the various pathways derived from magic.
Demon Swordmaster, Warlock, Priest, Knight, and dozens of career paths.
For Li Qing currently, it’s completely meaningless, unless he reaches Advanced Magic Apprentice someday, only then will he have time to research these during career advancement.
Thinking all the way, halfway through, a sudden voice came from the side.
"Student from the human world, are you going to the library?"
Li Qing woke up and turned to look, relaxing as he saw the person in black robes, feeling frightened by the foggy roads that were unclear all the way.
Although Gray Magic Academy prohibits student fights, the person approached with a bewitching taste, clearly with bad intentions.
The figure was hunched, with a stooped back, the body seemed fairly large, at least one meter ninety in height. Check latest chapters at novel※fire.net
Additionally, Li Qing precisely caught his reference to the human world student, further validating his inner suspicion.
Li Qing said calmly, "Classmate, what is the matter?"
"Hey~ don’t be so wary of everything, you humans are , having immense hostility towards human-different creatures."
He shrugged, tone carrying an easy-going meaning, "My name is Hemertos, how about you?"
"Blind Monk? Strange name, sounds like you’re blind." Hemertos pointed to himself, rather proudly saying, "Listen to my name, Hemertos!"
Li Qing asked casually, "Does it have any meaning in your world?"
"Of course, I, Hemertos, will eventually return from the Abyss, sweeping all opposing me, killing all that I loathe!"
Hemertos’ tone was low, with words making Li Qing think it was full of bloodthirst.
"That’s quite... an impressive meaning."
"What about you, why did you come to Gray?"
To this day, Li Qing doesn’t know what Gray Magic Academy represents, only understanding that Gray is definitely a synonym for evil.
Looking up at the gloomy weather and the environment that made one feel like entering the Underworld, fog enveloping everywhere, the distant buildings obscure.
He dares to guarantee, without the badge, he would definitely get lost in this ghostly place.
"Of course, to learn magic."
