I Keep Witches While Others Keep Dragons-391 Chapter 393
Three days later, Andrew was discharged from the hospital.
The sequela of that battle hadn’t recovered yet. As soon as he got out of bed, he felt an ache all over his body.
But it was not a big deal. The doctor said that he would be fine in 3 or 5 days.
Mage’s items were good. If there was no healing liquid or magic to cure his injury, he would never be able to get out of bed for the rest of his life.
During his recuperation, Nason and others came to see him every day. Andrew also felt that they were worthy to get along with.
After all, there were only nine days left before the final exam. All the students in Law School were preparing nervously and they could spare some time to visit him, which showed that they had a good relationship.
As for Cruz.
That guy was more seriously injured.
But to show off, he got up half a day earlier than Andrew.
As a result, he winced in pain.
Later, Andrew heard that when he went to pee, he couldn’t stand because of the pain. His feet shook and his head fell into the toilet.
If it weren’t for his girlfriend, he would have drowned in the toilet.
Anyway, there was only one week left before the final exam.
During the summer vacation, the Secret Place will be closed and maintained, so no one could enter it,
Andrew had things to do and had to work hard to return the points to Newton. f𝘳e𝒆w𝗲𝐛𝘯𝐨νe𝚕.co𝓶
On the day he was discharged from the hospital, Andrew changed a secret silver nail and went to the Secret Place with Jo and Signa.
Then he followed Cruz’s method, stuck the door with the nail, and entered the Secret Place from the hidden entrance.
Just as Cruz said.
The Secret Place was like the first time they entered it.
The traces of previous battles had disappeared as if nothing happened.
At the same time, they entered the Secret Place. At the same place, the same black-wind diabolic wolf attacked and he killed them as before.
It was like six days ago.
This time, Andrew chose the west district.
After more than ten hours of fighting, Andrew was surprised.
127 magic power, 1,280 points, and 31 monsters.
Andrew wore the Dragon Extinguishing Bandage so that his magic power reached 2,727.
“Son of a bitch! The west district is awesome!”
In just half a day, the revenue exceeded the whole team to do level 9 or 10 of commissions twice.
‘No wonder the students in grade three surpassed ordinary students.’
But Andrew also had a question.
‘Why so many students in grade three couldn’t become holy mages with so many benefits?
Moreover, the average magic power of grade three students was about 2,250.
This was illogical.’
After that, Andrew asked Newton.
After hearing that, Newton laughed and said, “Do you think everyone is as strong as you?
In other words, how much magic power was attained depended not only on the monsters’ life energy but also on the mage’s talent.
For ordinary students in grade three, the Secret Place was just a good place to earn points, but for the growth of their magic power, it was a little better than outside. Occasionally, there would be free magic crystals to absorb.
As for the growth of magic power, it’s not so great.”
“Then why did Cruz improve as fast as I?”
“Because he is as talented as you.”
Newton said, “Talent is inborn. To be honest, your growth speed in the Secret Place is even faster than mine.”
“I see.”
“There are still two reasons. Students in grade three are very busy. They’ve been busy since the second half of grade two.
So, they only have one or two days a week to go to the Secret Place.
After all, a mage’s cultivation wasn’t only related to magic power.
Learning alchemy, healing magic, arts and science, and interpersonal network expansion in Magic Association would cost their time.”
“What about the other one?”
“That was the most important thing–endurance.”
“Endurance?”, Andrew was confused.
Newton’s face froze, “I advise you not to go to the Secret Place too frequently.
The life energy of the Secret Place was pure, which could greatly increase your magic power in a short time, but it would also make your body change.
Once you had strong endurance, the effect of killing monsters and absorbing magic crystals would be greatly reduced in reality.
Cruz has been affected. You have only been there twice. It’s not a big deal.
Going there four or five times in a short time would affect you.
It would be better to do it once a week, but not more frequently than this limit because once you were affected, it was irreversible.
It was true that you could bring short-term growth, but in the long run, it was trading the future for the present.
You can also tell Cruz about it. It’s not too late for him to change now.”
Andrew shivered at his words.
After that, Andrew found Cruz.
This guy was about to enter the Secret Place.
But when he heard that, his face turned blue with fear.
“I didn’t know it until last month. In the second half of the month, I entered it eight times. No wonder I feel strange recently. It turns out…”
Looking at the entrance, although he felt pity, he could only give up.
Now his talent had been slightly affected. If he stopped now, it wouldn’t affect him much, and he could recover.
If he continued to go in, he would not recover.
“In the end, I won, but I lost the most?” Cruz felt like weeping but had no tears.
Talent was something that could not be redeemed even if one lost a little bit.
It was not until then that Andrew realized why Red King didn’t refuse students in grade two to sneak into the Secret Place.
Because intelligence was also the most important property of a mage.
Magi need to cultivate hard and the only shortcut was hard work and talent.
A fool who thought there would be a shortcut would be stupid.
As for Andrew.
With the introduction of Newton, if he needed to improve his strength in a short time, he could enter three to four times, but after that, he had to rest for a month.
He could also have a rest for a few days and then go in for the fifth time. Although his talent would be affected, it was not a big deal. Moreover, he could recover after having a rest for a month.
But he couldn’t do it the sixth time.
Andrew had only been in there two times, and the second time was 6 days later. It meant that he had only been in there once.
‘There were still 8 days left before the final exam.
In other words, I can enter it for three days, then rest for four days, and enter it one more time. In total, I can enter four times.
The price was that I can’t enter the Secret Place for the next month.
But the summer holiday after the final exam, the Secret Place would be closed and maintained, which meant that he lost nothing.
Seeing Andrew enter the Secret Place with a smile, Cruz felt regretful and gritted his teeth in anger.
If his original talent was 100, then now he only had 90 left.
He had to rest for two months.
He couldn’t enter the Secret Place to his will. At most, he could only recover to the level of 93-94, and it was impossible for him to fully recover.
Cruz was overwhelmed with grief and indignation. He had no choice but to give up the Secret Place and turn around to leave.
In the last 8 days, he could only do some regular practice.
But Andrew could improve quickly.
