Mage Adam

There are only ten days left before the three-month period. James looks very old, and his hair has turned gray from the appearance of a young man when he first met. This is the result of excessive mental exertion. Before James relied on Magic maintains a youthful appearance, and at this moment he no longer has such a mood.

He sat paralyzed on the ground and waited for Adam to complete the last unproven meditation method. He was full of despair. After so many years of research, so many years of hard work, it was coming to an end. For a person without talent, it is really just an extravagant hope to become a mage with pure spiritual power. What's even more sad is that he didn't even improve the total amount of mental power much.

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die silently like this." The experiment report in his hand was tightly held by him, and then it was smashed into pieces by the inadvertently escaped magic power, James thought desperately.

Adam's mental power collapsed again, blowing the debris on the ground, he shook his head at James, and said: "It still doesn't work, it can't be self-consistent, the mage's armor constructed by this meditation method can't carry the magic power .”

James looked at him blankly and said, "Forget it, you don't have to come from tomorrow, the experiment of mental power curing rune structure stability and complete rune group construction has failed, and the laboratory will be closed in ten days." disbanded afterwards."

Each of James' voice was softer than the last word, and the decadence in his words made Adam frown. He opened his mouth to speak, but before he could speak, James said again: " After ten days, if you want, you can come to collect your salary for this month, if you don't want to, I will directly credit it to your balance. Also, I'm probably leaving."

Adam temporarily put what he wanted to say back in his heart, and asked, "Go? Where are you going?"

James smiled miserably: "Leave the Mage Continent, find an island, and leave your offspring. Then... that's it," James turned off all the optical projectors in the laboratory, and turned off all experiments The report was destroyed, and he whispered in the dark: "Adam, don't study meditation in the future, you are different from me, there is no need to waste your talent here. I am really jealous of you, what does it feel like to be a formal mage? "

Adam opened his mouth again, and the darkness couldn't resist the gaze of the apprentices. James interrupted him directly: "There is no need to comfort me. At least compared to ordinary people who do nothing, I have experienced the charm of magic. That's enough. You first Come on, I want to be alone."

Adam walked out of the laboratory helplessly. In fact, he wanted to tell James that after two months of countless demonstrations, he had already concluded a set of self-consistent meditation ideas, but it still took a few days to sort them out. , but James did not give him a chance to speak. But it's nothing, ten days is enough time, just sort it out earlier and lend it to James.

About three months have passed, and the atmosphere among the new apprentices has changed from the beginning. Where there are people, there are fights, and it is even worse among this group of apprentices who claim to be the pride of heaven. In just three months, There have been many apprentices united to form organizations in various ways.

Most of the energy stones on most people have been used up, and everyone turned their attention to the task hall when they were learning, and then a problem arose-there are very limited tasks suitable for rookies like them, and most of them are cleaning, recording, and serving. There are not many such tasks, at least there is no way to meet the needs of nearly a hundred people.

Up to now, everyone has mastered more than one kind of magic. With the acquiescence of the academy, conflicts are commonplace, and formal mages treat them as if they are air. This kind of acquiescence and laissez-faire makes them more powerful. Apprentices with higher scores became indifferent.

The desert island five are still united, and they can't help but be united, because no other team is willing to accept them. Although their strengths are not bad, William has successfully mastered three kinds of fire magic,

Ophelia's development on the road of body-refining mage is relatively smooth, but because of the small number of people, she is still on the side of being bullied.

At this very moment, a conflict erupted in the quest hall. The cause was a short-term job of sorting out metals for senior alchemy apprentices. This job was paid two units of power stones, which was already quite generous. Randy wanted to Accepted this task, but it was also discovered by a local apprentice at the same time. What's more, this person was the one who initially expressed disdain for the desert island apprentice. Later, everyone knew his name, Sean, and two Descendants of the Master Apprentice.

"What? The country people also want to earn energy stones? Haha, do you know metals?" Sean stepped out of the road blocking Randy's front and said arrogantly, seeming to find what he said was interesting. The companion behind Sean They laughed together for a while.

"Get out of the way, Sean, do you want to suffer?" Randy's face darkened. He didn't know why this Sean kept biting him like a mad dog. Similar insults had been repeated many times.

Sean turned his head and exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Oh! God, listen to what he is saying, he wants to teach me a lesson," then turned his head to Randy and said, "It's up to you? Country guy? Oh, right Yes, I forgot that you are still a genius with soul tendencies, what is it? Curse affinity? Hahaha! Do you want to try to curse me? I doubt you can hurt a single hair of Master Xiao En!"

Randy clenched his fists, his veins bulged, and three months was enough time for apprentices to collect information. All apprentices who showed soul tendencies during the aptitude test were remembered by everyone, only Randy was an exception, because the curse affinity was really So cold and so useless. This made him a laughing stock, and also a rebel in his heart.

"Damn it, you bastard!" Randy lost his mind, and rushed towards Sean with red eyes. Quentin, who was almost inseparable from him, hurriedly grabbed him. Fighting here is not allowed, senior apprentices will not allow it .

Sean stood there and looked at them mockingly, and he squeezed them away surrounded by his companions behind him, and accepted the task.

The senior apprentices looked at this scene lazily. It was too ordinary, so ordinary that they couldn't arouse their interest. They also came from this stage. After experiencing the cruelty for the first time, the rookies will know that the current conflict is How childish and stupid.

Randy stood there panting heavily like a wild beast, and said in a voice that was so low that it was almost roaring: "Bastard, do you dare to fight me?"

The mission hall was silent. Although conflicts occurred from time to time, they were still verbal up to now. No one engaged in real duels. After seeing the power of magic, they knew that duels between apprentices could not be based on one punch. The way of the feet, the slightest accident means death.

Sean who walked to the door turned around, looked at Randy in disbelief and said, "What did you say?"

Randy broke free from Quentin, walked up to Sean step by step, and looked at him almost like a fighting cock: "I said, duel, bastard."

Xiao En couldn't help taking a step back, panic filled his heart, but in the next second he became annoyed by the reaction just now, and said fiercely: "Okay, then let's fight, you trash, since you want to die, Xiao En Grandpa will fulfill you!"

 …

The first duel among newly promoted apprentices became the most popular topic among rookies within a few days. Adam knew nothing about it. He resumed his previous life in the dormitory and the library. According to Elliott's small talk, he saw Adam again a few months later, and he expressed regret for what happened to James and the time Adam wasted.

"Speaking of which, you are also from a desert island, right?" Eliot asked casually.

"Hmm." The book Adam was reading was called "Discussion on the Stability of Runes". The explanation of runes in the book was helpful for him to build a meditation method.

With Adam's acknowledgment, Elliot came over very gossip and said, "I heard that just today, that desert island apprentice who has a curse affinity is going to duel, don't you want to go and see?" And although it is useless, it is still a conspicuous label, and Elliott has no impression of Sean.

"Oh." Adam responded perfunctorily, and continued to flip through the book.

Elliot curled his lips and got closer: "Isn't he from the same place as you? Don't you want to go and see?"

Adam turned the book to the last page and closed it, put it back on the shelf neatly and said, "I don't want to."

"Why? The rookie's first duel, haven't you seen it before? Tsk tsk, I really miss it when I think about it, we came here like this at the beginning." Elliott entered the memory mode very off-line .

"Boring, I just got in touch with the most superficial power, so I put my mind on being brave and ruthless, stupid. Besides, what's so interesting about their duel, are the two standing opposite each other desperately building a rune group?" Adam said Turn around and leave.

"Eh..." Elliott imagined that scene for a while, and immediately felt that it was meaningless, but he was too boring, and it was rare to have someone like Adam who was willing to chat with him when the number of apprentices was small. , "Let's go, go and have a look, don't you want to go back to the dormitory? It's just on the way, it won't take a lot of your time."

Adam was helplessly held back by Elliott. Fortunately, the rest of the threads continued to calculate day and night. The daily threads did not delay the progress of the task, so there was no need to dampen Elliott's interest, so the two walked out of the library and headed for the duel location go.

Along the way, Elliott chattered about his record as a rookie, and kept repeating his glorious history of using poison to overthrow his opponent, so he reached the duel location.

Along the way, people kept saying hello to Elliott, and looked at Adam beside him with surprised eyes, wondering how this 'abandoned apprentice' got together with the pharmacy tutor.
