Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 640: We’ll see the real outcome tomorrow morning (new book content).
"Alright, students, now show me your results. Let me see, what kind of Devil follows your inner desires. Now, come forward one by one for me to check, hmm, starting from the first row on the left."
Rosenberg spoke rather slowly. If it hadn't been for the previous image of him devouring students lingering in everyone's minds, everyone would have thought he was quite a noble gentleman.
Seeing the student in a black robe step forward and stand still before Rosenberg, Rosenberg slightly raised his palm, a faint blue light rippling as it swept around the student in front of him, then lowered his hand.
The voice revealed a tone of satisfaction: "Very good, step back."
Li Qing knew this person was named Jes, and was acquainted with the malicious Anna.
He stood before Rosenberg, meeting his gaze tinged with amusement.
Rosenberg: "Alright, human boy, let me see what the most desire-filled race will make a Devil do to you."
The most desire-filled race?
Li Qing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, but didn't say much.
The words were indeed true, but being described by this monstrous teacher, he couldn't help but feel surprised.
It seems humans are a rather powerful species in the Magic World.
Very useful information, at least humans aren't depicted as utterly humble beings as in some novels.
But from the current situation, it seems humans' strong desires are known to these other races.
Watching Rosenberg's hand ripple with blue light as it gently brushed past his face, Li Qing felt a chilling sensation instantly fill his entire being, an unstoppable coldness made his hairs stand on end.
Like an ant being stared at directly by a human, then being examined inside and out under an optical microscope.
"Hmm, interesting…"
After pondering for a while, Rosenberg nodded with a slight smile of surprise, clearly found it amusing how Li Qing had handled the Devil.
Once all the students had completed the inspection, Rosenberg said somewhat regretfully: "So, congratulations everyone on successfully passing the entrance exam. Next, I will guide you on the path of the Mage at the true Gray Magic Academy. I hope we can get along pleasantly in the days to come..."
Rosenberg couldn't help but laugh 'hee hee hee,' which seemed entirely unkind to Li Qing.
"Today, we begin our first lesson, Meditation!"
Rosenberg's voice turned solemn.
"For any Mage wishing to enhance their fundamental strength, personal Meditation is the best way to improve. Whether you are at the Magic Apprentice Level or a Legendary Mage, you will continue to practice Meditation daily.
And once you master the Entry Level of Basic Meditation Technique and the Light Ball emits brilliance filling your sea of consciousness, it marks the slow transformation of your Spirit, enabling you to cast Magic."
Li Qing was intently listening when a student in a black bubble raised his hand beside him.
Rosenberg didn't mind and said cheerfully: "Taras, do you have a question?"
Taras stood up, a slightly young voice sounded: "Mentor, in my hometown, as long as you gather Spiritual Power you can cast Magic, why do we need to add the step of gathering Magic Power?"
"Because sometimes you may encounter environments with no Magic or anti-Magic, and when unable to activate energy, the Magic Power formed within you becomes a vital means to use Extraordinary Powers."
Li Qing became enlightened, understanding why when researching the Level 0 Spell 'Mage's Hand' he had only used Spiritual Power to operate it while triggering a cycle at the Magic Nodes, although internal Magic Power also participated in the cycle.
Hmm, Li Qing internally couldn't help but be slightly startled, realizing that compared to the Air Elemental Energy in Gray Magic Academy, Elemental Energy is pitifully scarce in the real world.
Four hours of classes quickly passed, and when nearing the end, Rosenberg said: "Magic relies more on self-study. Going forward, there will be a concentrated Q&A session once a month, so classes like these will be rare. If there's notice for class arrangements, you'll be notified through your badge."
Does that mean there's only one class a month?
Li Qing snapped out of his daze, just in time to hear Rosenberg continue: "So, students, cherish your comfortable times now. Of course, if you have any questions about Magic midway you can activate your badge to visit the mentor's residence for inquiry. A word of kind advice, don't casually knock on the door, just stand at the entrance."
As the words fell, the person had already disappeared.
The entire classroom fell silent, a group of students in black robes looked at each other, all somewhat speechless.
But thinking it through, it makes sense, Magic relies more on individual self-study capabilities and has monthly concentrated Q&A sessions.
A rather good approach, only Li Qing noticed the traces of regret in Rosenberg's words, clearly hoping for daily classes so students could be late for him to devour…
Simply a Devil!
Back at the safe house, Li Qing hadn't even warmed his seat when the badge on his wrist slightly lit up, then a stream of information rapidly flowed into his mind.
Li Qing raised his eyebrows, wondering if this meant the game had reached a certain point and after casually talking about gathering Magic Power during the second opening lesson, they were directly set free to activate the library.
Library...
Li Qing hesitated for a moment but ultimately dismissed the notion of visiting immediately. Having not yet mastered the Level 0 Spells listed in 'Magic Theory,' he'd rather not be over-ambitious seeking other things.
At least first finish studying those basic Magic Books before proceeding.
As for interacting with the other students, Li Qing had no intention of it. Those guys were heavily guarded, evidently aware of what Gray Magic Academy truly represents. As a newcomer, initiating conversation would only put himself in danger.
The following week's time, Li Qing truly was slacking off at work doing math problems and deriving publicly, while spending evenings studying the Level 0 Spell 'Mage's Hand,' almost a necessary Magic for all Mages.
After a full month's time, aside from attending three monthly Q&A lessons at Gray Magic Academy, he mainly stayed in the safe house or rented accommodation for research during other times.
Fortunately, time is frozen in the safe house within Gray Magic Academy, so he possessed twice the time to study.
A month's time effectively passed like three months for him.
On Saturday, Li Qing squatted at the entrance of Taigu Outer Street like a street-wise kid, watching the crowds coming and going, involuntarily tightening his cotton coat.
