Chapter 274: Chapter 60 Six Draws, Moving House _2
Very strange indeed.
After making his sarcastic remark, Link directed his attention to the “Designated Talent” upgrade card.
Only then did Link find out that a specific talent card could be designated for an upgrade.
Of the three talent cards, the “Botany Talent” had been of great assistance in the early stages, and continued to aid in Potion Study and Alchemy Pharmacy afterward.
After all, plants are the primary source of potion ingredients.
The “Magic Apothecary” talent is the core aid in gaining “Academic Points” and Magic Stones.
The fact that Link could quickly get to grips with Potion Study and Alchemy Pharmacy, becoming a qualified Pharmacist and Potion Development Specialist, is largely due to the “Magic Apothecary” talent.
However, if Link had to pick one from the three to upgrade, it would undoubtedly be the “Spell Casting Talent.”
After a Wizard Apprentice is promoted to an Official Wizard, they will further their education at the Senior Division for a year.
This year refers only to the time spent receiving education at the Senior Division, not including the six months of mid-term internship at the Front Line.
In situations where one is promoted to a First-Class Official Wizard ahead of the four-year period, there will be a buffer time of half to a full year.
That is, like what Link is doing now, not immediately entering the Senior Division for advanced studies,
but taking this time to self-study, strengthen the foundations, and learn as many First Ring spells as possible in advance.
This is a “privilege” the academy offers to the truly talented!
Strictly speaking, Link has less than a year left before he’s required to participate in the Front Line internship.
The so-called Front Line refers to those worlds in the Heavenly World that are on the verge of being devoured by the World Mind of the Wizard World, but still have indigenous resistance.
In such worlds, the World Mind of the Wizard World can ensure the normal use of witchcraft, but cannot guarantee the proper function of all Mana Tools.
As Mana Tools often malfunction in these worlds, the wizards fighting there for “peacekeeping” can only rely on witchcraft.
Hence, making good use of this year to learn as many First Ring spells as possible is of utmost importance.
So, what’s there to hesitate about?
“I want to upgrade the 1 Philius Flitwick’s Talent for Spellcasting’ Talent Card.”
Link issued the command.
As uneventful as always, the change occurs instantaneously.
The “Philius Flitwick’s Talent for Spellcasting” Talent Card shattered, and a new card was generated.
The “Proficiency in Witchcraft” Talent Card!
Without hesitation, he promptly used it.
It didn’t feel any different, simply a renewed understanding of casting a destiny spell based on a “seed”.
An almost negligible improvement.
Not much.
Hehehe…
A grin spread across Link’s face, and he almost burst into a fit of laughter.
After the extensive modification, the enhancement of destiny spells seemed so easy. As for regular First Ring and Zero Ring spells, well, need I say more?
The improvements are bound to be even more noticeable.
Feeling elated for a while, Link composed himself and cleared his mind.
Moving on to the important task, he began to carefully review the wizard meditation method.
Stick to self-study as planned without any cheats.
Tonight!
Word for word, a promise is a promise.
Actions must follow words.
The next day.
Link woke up early.
After stretching lazily, he accidentally activated the “Multi-Threading Thinking” Status Card.
Truly careless.
I’ll be careful next time.
But once it’s activated, might as well direct its computing power to the wizard meditation method.
Ah, what a predicament!
A brief 20-second “understanding”, plus the self-study the night before,
Link won’t say he now knows the wizard meditation method like the back of his hand, but at least he’s familiar with it.
While still fresh in mind, Link immediately proceeded with a session of Deep Meditation.
To experience firsthand the effects of the wizard meditation method.
After a while, the meditation ended.
The feeling was like upgrading from the H6 to the H6K.
In the past, Link speculated on the increasingly long meditation time. (Refer to Chapter 53 of Volume 1)
Now, Link can responsibly tell his past self:
The meditation efficiency of a First Level Wizard is five times that of a Third- class wizard apprentice, ten times that of a Second-rankwizard apprentice, and twenty times that of a First Rank Wizard Apprentice.
A session of deep meditation takes only ten minutes.
After the meditation ended, Link didn’t go to the canteen for a meal.
Instead, he went to the dining room and enjoyed the delicious breakfast served by the Intelligent Puppet Butler.
Regardless of what Link himself thinks, now that he is a First-Class Official Wizard, his pace in many matters in the academy must be in sync with other wizards.
Take for example the distinction between the status of a Wizard Apprentice and an Official Wizard.
Where in the world would an Official Wizard be seen squeezing into the canteen with a bunch of Wizard Apprentices for meals?
Even if the person involved doesn’t mind, what about other Official Wizards?
They would care.
The butt determines the mind!
As soon as Link became an official wizard, his words and actions represented a collective entity.
Being able to dine with Jasmine, the Brotherhood Group, and the Social Phobia Group during the holidays was the most he could do.
After all, at that time, the academy had not announced his promotion, nor had it arranged a villa for him.
Continuing to do so now would not be beneficial for both parties.
Jasmine agreed with this point, though it involuntarily made her feel down.
Understanding is one thing, emotions are another.
So, Jasmine visited the canteen, suddenly felt a rush of anger,
She huffed and puffed her way to Link’s villa, barged straight into the dining room.
Without saying hi, she swooped in on the breakfast Link had taken a few bites of, and started munching away furiously.
Why is it that once you become an Official Wizard, we can no longer dine together?
Ah, I just don’t believe it.
If you dare, kick me out!
Link glanced at Jasmine, who was obviously acting willful, and shook his head in helplessness.
