Chapter 13 The Difficult Path to Study
Thor didn't know how he walked all the way back to the dormitory.
He slammed the door, threw all the books and crystal ball onto the bed, and then slowly slid down to sit on the bed, leaning against the foot of the bed.
"Why can't I sense much dark element? Is it because the element particles in the classroom are unevenly distributed?"
When Thor thought of this, he immediately opened the book, picked up the crystal ball, remained sitting on the ground, and began to immerse himself in meditation.
This time he sensed dark element particles, but they were still pitifully few, even less than the white ones.
"The white one is light, how is that possible? When I tested it, it was clearly the dark element that had the highest perception."
"Could it be that Sid did something at the time? It's unlikely. If he didn't want me to pass, what's the point of tampering with the elemental perception?"
Although he was not very willing, Thor finally thought of Kong Sha.
The image in his mind froze on the bottle of healing potion Kong Sha gave him.
"If the element that I perceive most strongly is not the dark element, then that bottle of medicine is most likely to have temporarily altered my mental strength."
Thor knew from the beginning that Kong Sha must have some purpose in helping him become an apprentice, and now he is just more certain of this.
He let out a long sigh, dropped the crystal ball, looked up, and saw that it was almost time for afternoon class.
He couldn't find Kong Sha to question her about the meditation now, so he could only take things one step at a time.
When I went out again, I didn't see Keli.
His plan to ask her about her meditation state failed, and Thor could only walk to the 15th floor of the East Tower alone.
Professor Katz has his own laboratory right there.
If ordinary apprentices want to get instruction from a mentor, they mostly need to go to the laboratory - where the mentor will do experiments and perhaps answer a few of their questions.
But more often than not, apprentices are reluctant to seek out mentors before they encounter a bottleneck.
The answers they get are more likely to be “How can you not even do such an easy question?”, “Didn’t I explain this question before?”, “I don’t think you need to wait for the next test, you are eliminated now.”
Only the mad newbies who have not yet met the instructor will be excited about meeting the instructor up close.
Because Thor had a lot of things on his mind, he didn't feel excited at all when he went to the fifteenth floor.
He came to Professor Kaz's laboratory and met a pair of eyes as soon as he pushed the door open.
The owner of those eyes suddenly showed a variety of emotions including surprise, anger, fear, and forced calmness.
Thor looked at Duke and scraped his chin with his bony knuckles.
Duke looked away immediately.
After all, there were still slightly purple finger marks on his face.
Don't dare to provoke, don't dare to provoke...
Not many apprentices chose Kaz, only three out of the twenty or so newcomers.
Saul, Duke, and a cute girl named Angela.
She seemed unaware of the conflict between Thor and Duke. Her big eyes were blinking and there was a peaceful smile on the corner of her mouth.
There was also a young man wearing a second-level apprentice badge packing up his things in the laboratory.
He saw the three people standing quietly in the laboratory, and walked up to them and said, "Professor Kaz usually doesn't come so early in the afternoon. You can come around 3 o'clock next time."
He laughed again, the meaning of which was unclear.
"Of course, you don't have to come."
After a brief greeting, the laboratory became quiet again.
The second-level wizard apprentice turned around and got busy, showing no interest in continuing to communicate with everyone.
Seeing that Teacher Kaz had no intention of showing up early, Thor simply took his book and found a table without any clutter to sit down and study.
Seeing this, the other two also found a place to read.
There is a distance between the three of them and each other, and they are clearly separated.
Because he had too many things on his mind, Sol couldn't concentrate on reading this time. Every once in a while, he would look up to check the time.
Finally, when the hourglass reached 3:30 in the afternoon, the door of the laboratory was pushed open again.
Everyone put down their work and stood up.
"Teacher!" The second-level young apprentice came forward with a smile on his face.
Following his line of sight, Thor saw a thin, dry, white-haired old man.
The other person looked very old, with wrinkled skin and slightly cloudy eyes, making Teacher Kaz look like he was over ninety years old.
Kaz walked in slowly, his steps steady.
He did not respond to the second-level apprentice, but just glanced around the laboratory.
Thor found that the second-level apprentice seemed very nervous.
"My request is very simple." Kaz said to the second-level apprentice with a cold face, "Put the used things back to their original places. If you can't even do this, don't come to my laboratory in the future."
The second-level apprentice couldn't keep the smile on his face, and said awkwardly, "Yes, Master, I will clean it up today."
"When is your next test?"
"In a month."
"Okay, then let's test whether you can clean up the lab."
"yes."
Thor noticed that the second-level apprentice was relieved when he heard Kaz's test requirements.
Then, Kaz looked at the three newcomers and said, "Come here and stand in front of me. Are you going to let an old man like me walk past?"
The three men hurried over and stood in a row in front of Kaz.
Kaz's gray eyes swept over the three people one by one, and when they finally landed on Thor, he suddenly asked in a bad tone: "Why do you have so little magic power?"
Duke, who was standing on the other side of Angela, suddenly brightened up his eyes, and he seemed to be hesitating whether to take the initiative to help Thor "explain".
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Just as he was about to open his mouth, the wound on his face started to hurt slightly and he couldn't make a sound.
Thor knew that he could not hide his situation from the official wizard, so he took the initiative to say, "Teacher, my talent for magic is not very good, but my talent for mental power is okay."
Kaz didn't buy it, "If you have spiritual power but no magic power, you are a scholar, not a wizard. A wizard cannot just be good at reading."
He muttered again, "Is it impossible to find a decent apprentice out there now?"
Thor was mentally prepared and was not shocked by Kaz's words. But if even his own mentor looked down on him, how could he continue his studies in the future? "Teacher, I will work hard to improve my magic power. Please give me a chance."
Kaz rolled his eyes, "How hard? Witchcraft transformation? Fine, as long as you raise your magic power to 10 joules within three months, I'll consider you to have passed the first test. Otherwise... my lab can never have too many materials."
Coke is the unit of measurement for magic power.
When wizard apprentices are tested, the black crystal is responsible for measuring the magic power in the human body.
Generally, it is required to reach 10 joules before the age of fifteen to be considered qualified in talent.
However, Thor's magical talent is definitely less than 10 joules, and may even be less than 5 joules, otherwise Mentor Kaz would not think that he has no chance at all.
It is indeed difficult to complete a goal that would normally take three years in three months.
Thor took a half step forward, intending to ask his mentor for some more time.
But Kaz raised his hand and stopped Thor from speaking.
He said to Duke, who was gloating, and Angela, who was looking sympathetic, "You two, follow me."
"You," he glanced at Thor, "learn from Mark first."
Mark is the second-level apprentice in the laboratory.
After Kaz finished speaking, he left the lab with the other two newcomers, not knowing what they were going to do or where they were going.
Mark was not surprised and walked him to the door.
After Instructor Kaz and his group left, he closed the door and went back to the cabinet to organize his things.
He didn't even pay attention to what Thor meant.
Thor was not discouraged, because there was a Kongsha behind him.
Now he has met Kongsha's requirements and become a student of mentor Kaz.
I think she will convey the next order to Thor soon.
It’s just that Kong Sha mostly takes advantage of Thor.
She ignored Thor's situation and forcibly influenced his elemental perception, most likely in order to make Thor choose Mentor Kaz.
If Thor wants to take advantage of Kong Sha's power to become stronger, he can no longer let the other party treat him as a cannon fodder that can be abandoned at any time.
He must walk a careful line between rejecting the other party's dangerous orders and obtaining the other party's protection.
First of all, the study of witchcraft must never stop.
"Senior," Thor took the initiative to walk behind Mark, "Can I help you clean up?"
Mark turned around, not at all surprised by Thor's choice, as if he had been waiting for him to speak.
"Alas, you newbies don't have magic crystals or credits, so you can only do manual labor. For the next month, you will be responsible for cleaning the laboratory, and I will spend an hour every day teaching you."
Thor looked around the small but full laboratory and said hesitantly, "Cleaning the whole laboratory? Senior, I don't know if my current ability will hinder your work."
"Of course I won't leave all the work to you. I will tell you the things to pay attention to, and you will only be responsible for the final finishing touches."
Mark suddenly raised his hand, a mouth opened in his palm, and a bright red tongue stretched out, almost licking Thor's face.
"If you don't concentrate on your work and make mistakes, I will tear your skin off!"
