Chapter 220 The Waves in the Ivory Tower (Ⅰ)

When it comes to "collecting and transcribing new spells", Joan always has an almost "insatiable" hunger.

It's like a squirrel thinking about having a good stockpile of pine cones for the winter.

Even though spring is just beginning now, winter is still far away.

Level 6 spells are too esoteric and obscure. Even if it was just a rote copy, it took Qiao An a full three hours to completely copy the "Trigger Spell" into his spell book.

After copying the spell, he stretched with relief, and suddenly realized that it was dark outside the window.

At some point, Major Vasa had quietly left the library.

Joan put away the pen, paper and spell book, and planned to say goodbye to Major Vasa.

Before going out, he looked back at the bookshelf opposite, as if tempted by the devil, he couldn't help turning back and flipping through the books that fascinated him.

After a quick glance at the title of the book, Joan was pleasantly surprised.

There are many precious books on the bookshelf that he has admired for a long time, including a whole set of "Varys Monster Illustrated Book"!

Seeing the fifty volumes of "Wares Monster Illustrated Book" neatly placed on the bookshelf in a uniform binding, Joan couldn't help jumping up excitedly and cheering long live.

With this set of books, he would no longer need to go to the college library to spend money to look up monster materials, and he could save at least two hundred and fifty Gold Duga's borrowing fees!

Joan put down the book in his hand, glanced at the bookshelf one last time, turned and left the library, went back to the front living room to say goodbye to George Vassar, borrowed a horse from him, and returned to Leiden College before nightfall .

In the following days, Joan's life returned to peace. He devotes all his attention to his studies, specializing in magic, and in his spare time, he goes to do odd jobs in the tutor's laboratory to earn some food expenses.

Master Rawls likes this bright and hard-working student very much. Whenever Joan encounters difficulties in his studies and asks him for advice, Master Rawls will always explain to him patiently and ask some enlightening questions to guide Joan. Ann thought deeply.

In the blink of an eye, it was the beginning of May, and it has been more than a month since Joan came to Leiden College, during which time she has made remarkable progress in her studies.

In terms of spells, after a month of hard work, he has mastered as many as 17 first-level spells, including "Thunder Stomp", "Flash Explosion", "Door Sealing", "Frightening", and "Feather Falling". Wait for the newly learned spells.

In terms of alchemy and construction, Joan has also made great progress.

Now he has tried to prepare a ring 1 magic potion under the guidance of Master Rawls, and he has basically mastered the construction technique using the "activated scarecrow" as an example.

Master Rawls was not satisfied with just letting this ingenious and talented student make a scarecrow skeleton, and gradually handed over the basic enchanting process to Joan.

Correspondingly, Joan's daily salary for working in the laboratory has also doubled.

Master Rawls had known for a long time that Joan was a rare genius, but when he found that Joan had mastered all the enchanting skills he taught in less than half a month, and had made some improvements, greatly increasing the efficiency of enchanting , can not help but be deeply shocked.

After the shock, Master Rawls realized that Joan's talent might have exceeded his imagination. He patted Joan on the shoulder more than once, with mixed emotions: "Son, you should actually apply for Midgard University directly. What you can learn at Leiden Academy is very limited, and your vision is also limited, wasting time in this kind of 'small pond' is a kind of harm to your talent."

Joan was of course very grateful and proud of his mentor's praise, but his mentality was not as anxious as that of Master Rawls.

Maybe it's really like what the teacher said, he has been in a small place for a long time, his vision is limited, coupled with his character of being rich and safe, since he can't see how vast the sky outside is, of course he won't despise himself The small pond where they live is too shallow.

"Master, I am very satisfied with my current life. Why do you always want to drive me away? Not to mention that a kid like me from the countryside has no chance of directly applying for Midgard University. Even if I have the opportunity to go to Midgard University in the future Garter University, that is after graduating from Leiden College, I haven't learned one-tenth of your skills yet, I'm just a negligible level 2 mage, isn't it too early to think about this?"

"Hey, you kid, you didn't learn from being good, but you just learned from my "no ambition" problem! Really... let me tell you what's so good about you!"

Master Rawls was angry and funny, and he had to patiently persuade Joan afterwards:

"Actually, you don't have to wait until you graduate or become a level 5 mage before you go on to study—the Arcane Academy of Midgard University occasionally makes an exception to recruit arcane graduate students below level 5."

"As a mentor, what I value the most is not how many spells a student has mastered, but the mind and potential."

"If you're willing to give it a try, next year I can help you submit your application for advanced studies. Based on my face, it won't be a problem for you to get the qualification for the exam."

"As for whether you can be selected by a certain mentor and make an exception, it depends on your own performance in the written test and interview."

Joan is not a pushy person, he prefers to complete his studies step by step rather than frequently skipping grades and enrolling in an exception. However, the tutor's kindness is hard to resist, so he has to silently accept the great future planned for him by Master Rawls.

Master Rawls is really not joking. In order for Joan to graduate as soon as possible, whenever he and Joan are alone in the laboratory, he will give Joan an extra "trick" and teach some things that are beyond the syllabus. In addition to the content, it includes the most proud stunt of Master Rawls - making "window box".

Originally, according to the normal teaching process, Qiao An would not have the opportunity to learn this skill until at least next autumn.

Qiao An was deeply moved by his mentor's selfless teaching. With his current ability and situation, he really can't say anything about repaying his teacher's kindness.

During these days, Joan got along well with two classmates and roommates—Thomas Chap and Edward Gates.

Relatively speaking, he and Thomas have a deeper friendship and have become friends who talk about almost everything.

As for his relationship with Edward, it's not that close.

This is of course related to the disagreement between the two parties' personalities, but it is mainly because Edward is not as open-minded as Thomas, has a stronger sense of competition, and always regards him as his opponent.

Once the thoughts of competition remain, jealousy will inevitably arise, and it is difficult to be honest with each other even if they live under the same roof.
