Chapter 26 I love learning. Learning enriches me.
In the following days, Thor started to study hard.
Dormitory, study.
Classroom, study.
Morgue, work and study!
He had never lived such a fulfilling life! Whenever someone asked him, he would say that he was preparing for the test in three months.
Even Keli, who had been relatively calm, was shaken by him.
But in the eyes of some people, Thor's efforts have become synonymous with despair and final struggle.
As expected, the news that Kaz asked Thor to reach 10 joules of magic power in the first test was spread to everyone. Some people were optimistic about him, while others felt there was no hope at all.
We are all people who have meditated before, and we all know how much magic power can be increased by meditating for a month.
Although I don't know how bad Thor is, but from what Duke said, there is absolutely no hope.
Thor himself later secretly tested his magic power and found that his current magic power was only 3 joules, while the normal passing line was actually 10 joules.
In other words, Kaz required him to reach the level of a normal first-grade freshman in magic power within three months.
This is also his punishment for sneaking across the border.
Although Kaz assigned Thor a new job, he never said that Thor did not have to fulfill the requirements for magic power growth.
Saul also didn't want to gamble whether Kaz would lower his standards for himself just because he gave him a job.
In particular, there is Konsha who is eyeing him covetously, and Sid who will take revenge when he comes back and no one knows how.
Thor now wishes he could sleep only two hours a day, but if he doesn't get enough rest, his learning efficiency will be reduced over time.
Fortunately, his mental talent allows him to restore his energy after just 4 hours of sleep.
At least he has the capital to engage in internal circulation.
On this day, the class on the cognition of all things talked about animals.
Thor had finished reading all the animal chapters in his dormitory long ago, and even memorized some common sense that he thought was useful.
He was still flipping through the book at a speed far beyond the class progress.
“Crash.”
The paper turns to the next page.
"Ghost Chapter?"
Thor was startled and quickly began to read it carefully.
In the novels, movies and TV dramas of the past, the morgue was a hotbed for ghosts.
Although he had not encountered any danger in the morgue, strange things happened frequently.
For example, when you are sawing a corpse's arm, the corpse will suddenly say it hurts.
If the body had not been split in two long ago, Thor would have wanted to find a doctor to save him.
But at that time, all Thor could do was take two pieces of cloth and cover the two halves of the corpse's mouth.
In addition, Thor has recently been studying "Green's Knowledge of Witch Body Transformation" and "Guide to Corpse Refining", and is extremely sensitive to the word "ghost".
"The end of life is generally divided into physical death and spiritual extinction..."
"There are many ways in which spiritual power disappears. The forms that cannot be completely controlled by the subjective will of the main body can be called ghosts, and the forms that are controlled by other subjective wills can be called monsters."
“…When the material support disappears or is damaged, ghosts can often temporarily reside in other material supports. Common examples include puppets, clothes, corpses, etc…”
Puppet?
Seeing this, Thor remembered the little girl puppet used to test mental power.
Is there a ghost hidden in it?
I wonder if I can borrow it to study it.
So is the color-changing trash can in Katz's laboratory a ghost or a monster?
Fear often comes from the unknown.
After Thor had studied for several days, he thought back to that night in the laboratory, and there was a bit of curiosity in his fear.
Thor first quickly flipped through the entire ghost chapter and found that several common sense passages contained more introductions to the types and characteristics of ghosts.
There are very few descriptive languages like the one just mentioned.
Maybe it's too profound and even a first-level apprentice can't bear it.
Kelly, who was standing by, accidentally caught a glimpse of Thor's progress.
"You've even finished reading the Goblin chapter?" She opened her mouth and her eyes moved back and forth between Thor's face and the book.
"Just flipping through it." Thor suddenly made a decision.
He looked at the second-level wizard apprentice who had finished reading the outline of the lesson at the front of the classroom and asked everyone to study on their own.
Look at the increasingly empty classrooms and the new people who don’t know what they are doing or are drowsy.
He stood up quietly, put away his things, and whispered to Keli, "I'm going back first."
Keli wanted to say something, but Thor had already left in a hurry.
She pouted and looked down at the "Introduction to Rune Construction" in front of her, thinking that she should learn all the basic runes first.
People with good mental talents are really popular when it comes to learning basic knowledge.
Even though she knew that Thor was still struggling to improve his magic power, Kelly couldn't help but envy him.
…
"Senior Mark!" Thor rushed into the laboratory holding a book.
Sure enough, second-level apprentices hardly attend public classes, and they spend all their time on one-on-one tutoring and self-study.
Senior Mark really treats the laboratory as his study room.
I don’t know if he experienced the horror that Thor experienced that night.
"Why didn't you go to class?" Mark knew whose voice it was as soon as he heard it, and immediately stood up with a smile on his face.
You have to know that Thor was the apprentice who was taken away by Master Kaz and never brought back. He must have done something that satisfied Master Kaz.
Like the other two apprentices, An-something and Du-something, they can only come to the laboratory in the afternoon to study on their own.
Although he had collected a lot of tuition from the two, Mark still didn't remember their names.
Who knows which first-level apprentice will appear in the classroom again in three months? What about a year later? There is no need to build relationships with insignificant people.
To wizards, ordinary apprentices are consumables.
To senior apprentices, lower-level apprentices are consumables.
It's not about class, it's mainly about survival.
"Senior Mark, I encountered some problems when I was learning compound runes by myself, and I would like to ask you for advice."
Mark subconsciously looked at his study notes to confirm today's date.
"You... have finished learning the basic runes?"
Thor nodded.
Mark touched his chin and said, "You are making quite fast progress. If you can solve the problem of magic power, it will only be a matter of time before you advance to the second-level apprentice."
"Well, I can explain to you how to build one rune for free, but only this one. If you want to know more, you have to pay normally."
A free explanation of the compound runes means that everything that happened in the laboratory will be wiped out.
Whatever role Mark played, he certainly failed in his duties as a lab manager.
Mark's secret compensation to Thor was entirely to make up for his negligence, not because Thor was in danger.
"Thank you, Senior."
Thor turned to the last few pages of "Introduction to Rune Construction" in his hand.
"Can I learn this composite rune first?"
It refers to a compound rune based on dark elements. Once you have learned this compound rune, you can combine it with other basic runes to form multiple 0-level witchcraft with dark element attributes.
This means that after mastering this compound rune, Thor will have the ability to learn spells.
Although in the first class, mentor Gudo had warned them not to dream of learning witchcraft so quickly, what Thor lacked most now was time.
"Of course. First of all, you have to understand that the composite rune is not a simple overlap of the basic runes. It also contains many changes in the conduction of magic power..."
Thor skipped the second half of the first class and the entire second class. Under Mark's guidance, he gradually realized that... compound runes are really difficult! Please give me some recommendation votes, thank you readers
