"Alright, you can leave now. Follow the servants to your room and rest for a while."
In front of him, Asila put away the five magic stones on the wooden table and smiled. "Someone will inform you to come over tomorrow, and then we'll decide which teacher you'll be working for.
"Also, as a specially enrolled student, according to the rules, your tuition fees can be waived."
Adil nodded and smiled politely. "Then I'll have to trouble you."
After speaking, he walked to the side.
There, a maid dressed in light blue clothes stood there in Silence. She had a dull look on her face, and when she saw Adil walk over, she said expressionlessly, "Please come with me."
After saying this, she walked into the distance without any intention of talking to Adil.
Behind her, Adil did not say anything and just followed her in Silence.
After walking for about half an hour, Adil finally reached his destination in front of a building.
The dormitory was divided into floors, and each floor was occupied by an apprentice.
However, Adil casually looked around and walked through two or three floors without finding any traces of other apprentices. It was likely that he was the only apprentice living in the entire building.
This was also a very normal sign. After all, apart from the servants with dull looks on their faces, Adil did not see many wizards and apprentices. It was obvious that there were not many people in the entire academy. With such a large area of the academy, it was normal that he was not arranged to stay here.
He went straight to his floor and opened the door. It was very clean and tidy. Not only was there all kinds of furniture, but all kinds of daily necessities were also prepared. It seemed that people often came here to clean.
Adil put his luggage aside and sat directly on the wooden table. He picked up a book that he carried with him and continued to read.
… …
The next day, when the morning sun shone on the earth, someone knocked on Adil's door.
He opened the door and saw a pale-faced young man in a black trench coat standing outside.
"Hello, are you Adil?" he looked at Adil and asked with certainty.
Seeing Adil nod, the young man smiled. "Let me introduce myself. I'm Kurama, and I'm here to take you to your teacher."
After casually tidying up, they quickly walked out.
Along the way, Kurama didn't say a word. Silent, he led Adil forward.
After walking for a while, they arrived at a huge tower and saw a woman in a white robe.
Half of the woman's face was covered with a silver-white mask. It looked like a decoration, but it also looked like a special item. At this time, when she saw Adil and Zhang Heng, she did not have any reaction. Her expression was cold.
"Professor Edilie!"
The moment Kurama saw this woman, a respectful expression appeared on his face. "This is Adil, a newcomer assigned to us this time."
"You may leave." The white-robed Edilie nodded in front of him. Her tone was stiff and cold.
Kurama nodded, looked at Adil beside him, and walked out.
After he left, Edilie looked at Adil and smiled stiffly. "Your name is Adil, right?"
"Yes, Madam Edilie." Adil nodded and looked at Edilie respectfully.
Seeing Adil's expression, Edilie nodded. "Since you've been assigned to me, just call me Professor from now on."
"I've seen your information. Fourth-grade aptitude. Not bad."
As she spoke, she took out a black crystal ball and placed it on the wooden table in Silence.
The crystal ball looked deep, and it seemed to have some kind of special power attached to it. It had an indescribable attraction.
"Use your body and mind to feel it."
Just as he was feeling confused, Edilie's voice sounded in his ear.
Without hesitation, he reached out with his right hand and touched the black crystal ball.
Suddenly, he heard a light ring in his ear.
A ray of light seemed to flash in front of him, blocking his line of sight. All that was left was a blurry figure.
At this moment, many unknown symbols appeared in front of him. They seemed to contain an indescribable power and knowledge. Silence appeared in front of him.
Countless symbols continuously combined in front of him, finally forming complex runes with unique charm. They had special effects, and they continuously interwove to form an abnormally complex structure.
After an unknown amount of time, everything in front of him disappeared, and the scene returned to normal.
Adil shook his head. He felt as if his brain had been smashed by something. It was abnormally swollen, and a wave of mental exhaustion and pain was transmitted to him, making him feel uncomfortable.
In his mind, a large amount of new knowledge appeared, and he firmly remembered it.
"This is a basic meditation technique. In order to save time, I will directly transmit this into your brain, so that you won't waste a lot of time."
Seeing Adil's expression, Edilie said, "However, this thing is quite harmful to your mind, so remember to rest more when you go back."
Hearing this, Adil endured the fatigue and discomfort in his mind, "Alright, Teacher Edilie, I'll be leaving now."
Seeing Edilie nod her head, he walked out of the room.
After walking out of the room, Kurama was wearing a black robe and standing there in Silence. Seeing Adil come out, he smiled, "How do you feel?"
"It seems a little bad." Adil forced a smile on his face as he looked at Kurama.
"Haha, this is normal."
Standing by the side, Kurama looked at Adil's pale face and said sympathetically, "You haven't gone through long periods of meditation training. No matter how good your talent is, your mental energy can't even compare to a level 1 Apprentice's. Directly transmitting your mental energy will naturally cause more damage, and some side effects can't be avoided.
However, this can't be helped. "
"What do you mean?"
By now, Adil had already recovered from his daze. Hearing Kurama's words, he asked in a noncommittal manner.
Compared to normal Apprentices, his mental energy was much stronger. Even though he hadn't trained his mental energy, he had enough time to push his mental energy to the peak.
Even though Grand Knights mainly trained their bodies, their bodies and mental energy were connected. As their bodies became stronger, their mental energy would also become stronger. Even though they couldn't compare to official Sorcerers, they wouldn't be inferior to normal level 1 or level 2 Apprentices.
"The practice of a meditation technique is a complicated process, even for the most basic meditation technique. If you don't personally experience the feeling of meditation and only rely on words and images to learn it, it will take years. "
Kurama maintained his smile as he looked at Adil, "On the other hand, transmitting memories is different. During the transmission, the unique feeling of meditation will also be transmitted to you, allowing your body and mind to remember that feeling. After that, you just need to gradually familiarize yourself with it, and you'll be able to meditate on your own.
"Just this will save you at least a year or two. Compared to this, the aftereffects that can be recovered in half a month are naturally nothing. "
"That's true." Hearing this, Adil nodded in agreement.
Compared to spending years learning the basics of meditation, although this method of transmitting memories was dangerous, it was nothing compared to the large amount of time that could be saved.
"Actually, Teacher Edilie is a good person. You're already very lucky to be assigned to her."
In front of Adil, Kurama was like a chatterbox, "Out of all the instructors in the academy, Madam Edilie has the best temper. She's the one who takes care of her students the most."
"Also, compared to the other teachers who have lived for a long time, Teacher Edilie has only been promoted in the past 10 years, so she doesn't have many students under her. Including you and me, there are only 5 or 6 of them. When she calms down, she will receive much more care and resources than the other teachers …"
Holding Adil's hand, Kurama kept talking. Beside him, Adil maintained a smile on his face, as if he was listening attentively. From time to time, he would echo Kurama's words.
After understanding some information about Teacher Edilie, Adil let out a sigh of relief.
According to Kurama, Teacher Edilie was only in her early fifties. This was a terrifying age among mortals, but among official Magi who could live up to 200 years old, she was still very young.
Because he had only been promoted for a dozen or so years, he did not have many acolytes under him. As such, he treated every acolyte with great importance, unlike other official Magi who treated their acolytes as slaves or guinea pigs. He was also more diligent in his teaching.
Although this teacher was not as good as the older official Magi because she had only been promoted for a short period of time, Adil was already very satisfied.
"At least the 5 magic crystals weren't spent in vain."
