An hour later, Adil ended his meditation this time. He packed up the things left in the garden and walked into the distance.
In the academy, Adil felt as if he had returned to the time when he had bitterly studied.
Every day, the academy would arrange for a few level 3 acolytes to give lessons for free, and every few days, there would be official Magi giving lessons. Even though it was a fee, it was still a rare opportunity for acolytes like them.
As for those free lessons, as long as he had the time, Adil would attend them. Even if he did not understand, he would have the A.I. Chip record it down so that he could revise it in his spare time.
Adil used his rest time at night to practice his meditation technique.
Meditation had the ability to train one's mental energy, and it could also speed up the recovery of one's mental energy. As long as one could get used to the hours of boredom, using it as a substitute for sleep was not a problem.
… …
A few months later.
Early in the morning, sunlight shone on the ground.
Within Mentor Edith's research lab, Adil stood beside Edith, helping her with some small experiments.
His movements were extremely precise, and his techniques were extremely skilled and precise. In some aspects, he could even be compared to Edith.
Soon, the experiment was over, and Adil skillfully tidied up the remains, his expression calm.
Looking at his actions, and thinking about his performance over the past half a year, Edith could not help but sigh in admiration.
His talent was outstanding, and not only did he have great learning and practical skills, he rarely made mistakes. He did not seem like a 14-year-old youth at all.
She had also seen how hard Adil had worked for so long, and she could not help but feel admiration for Adil as an Apprentice.
In this world, there were many people with talent, but those who worked so hard at the same time would be liked by others no matter where they were.
"Eh?"
Suddenly, a look of surprise appeared on her face, and she stared at Adil.
She could sense some spiritual energy ripples from Adil's body, and it was at the level of a level 1 Apprentice.
"Adil, you've already advanced to a level 1 acolyte?"
Looking at her apprentice, she could not help but ask.
In front of her, Adil was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses. He looked at Edith respectfully and said, "Yes, I just leveled up yesterday."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt his entire body lighten. It was as if an inexplicable force had enveloped his entire body, tightly grabbing him forward.
Sensing the changes in his surroundings, Adil resisted the discomfort coming from his surroundings and chose not to struggle.
In an instant, he arrived in front of Teacher Edith and watched as her hand gently touched his forehead.
A strange spiritual force wave enveloped Adil's entire body, and then quickly disappeared.
In front of him, Teacher Edith retracted her hand and said with a sigh of relief, "Very good, there are no spiritual impurities. It seems that you have relied on your own meditation to advance honestly."
"Mentor, what's wrong?"
Seeing this, Adil asked in confusion, "What are mental impurities?"
"It's nothing."
At this moment, Teacher Edith seemed to be in a good mood. Hearing Adil's question, she directly replied, "You should know that our academy has a rule that forbids ordinary acolytes who have yet to advance to level 1 acolytes from absorbing magic crystals or other methods to increase their spiritual force."
Hearing this, Adil nodded.
"In reality, this is to prevent some hidden dangers."
Seeing Adil nod, Edith continued, "The requirement to advance to a level 1 acolyte is actually spiritual force.
"Some acolytes, because they are born with insufficient spiritual force and progress is too slow, will think of ways to increase their spiritual force through potions and magic crystals, allowing them to advance to a level 1 acolyte."
"Is there something wrong with this?" Hearing this, Adil asked doubtfully.
"Of course there is." Edith smiled, "Even though potions and magic crystals can increase spiritual force quickly, for ordinary acolytes who are not even level 1 acolytes, it will leave behind many mental impurities."
"These mental impurities will affect the acolytes' control over their spiritual force, and in the future, it will affect the growth of their spiritual force, causing it to grow slower and slower."
At this point, she paused for a moment before continuing, "In other words, these acolytes will find it extremely difficult to improve in the future, and it is almost impossible for them to advance to an official Magus."
"For those acolytes who are unable to improve under normal circumstances, this is of course not much. However, for you, Adil, this is very important."
Hearing these words, Adil felt a trace of fear in his heart, and he rejoiced.
As for the academy's rule, because no one had told him about it, Adil had not paid much attention to it. Now that he thought about it, if he had gone against it, the consequences would not have been what Adil wanted.
"In the future, unless it's necessary, it's best not to touch those things that are forbidden by the academy."
Amidst the lingering fear, this thought flashed through Leylin's mind.
Looking at Adil's current state, Edith smiled, "Of course, you don't have to worry anymore."
"A level 1 acolyte's spiritual force is much stronger and more resilient than that of ordinary acolytes. As long as you don't use too many potions in a short period of time, there won't be any problems."
Edith smiled and looked at Adil in Silence, "However, at this point, that is no longer important."
"Adil, congratulations. From today onwards, you have become an official Magus acolyte."
Under her gaze, a smile appeared on Adil's face. "Thank you."
They chatted for a while, and after a while, Adil left the laboratory.
"Advancing to a level 1 acolyte in half a year. Although this speed is a little out of the norm, from the looks of it, it should still be within the acceptable range. He won't be treated like a monster to be studied."
On the way, Adil thought back to how Mentor Edith had treated him and felt more at ease.
After passing through the familiar road, he did not go anywhere else and instead returned to his dormitory.
After returning to his dormitory, Adil closed the door and sat on his bed, muttering to himself, "Since I've advanced to a level 1 acolyte, it's time to enter the next stage."
Thinking to there, he closed his eyes and entered a meditative state.
As runes were quickly constructed in his mind, Adil's perception of his surroundings became sharper, as if he could faintly sense the various energies in the surrounding space.
Around him, under Adil's spiritual force, the dark world began to change. Energy particles that gave off light began to appear, and Silence appeared in the surrounding space.
These were the elemental energies that filled the world, and they were the foundation for Magi to cast all sorts of powerful spells.
After becoming a level 1 acolyte, other than continuing to meditate on runes, one also had to try to sense the energy particles in the surrounding world.
When the 36 runes recorded in the basic meditation technique had all been condensed, one could then try to guide the energy particles in the surrounding world and convert them into magic power that belonged to one's body.
At this moment, under Adil's spiritual force, countless energy particles were floating in Silence, revealing their characteristics under his spiritual force.
And under Adil's spiritual force, these energy particles behaved differently in the presence of Adil.
Some energy particles were difficult to guide with spiritual force, while others were easily attracted by Adil, displaying different degrees of affinity.
This was the affinity of each Magus, which mainly determined which type of energy particles a Magus would be able to guide.
Normally, as a normal acolyte, most energy particles could be guided, but the difficulty was different.
Because Magi were different, the difficulty of guiding different types of energy particles was different. There were always some energy particles that were easier to guide, and some that were harder to guide.
This also determined the elemental affinity of a Magus, and to a certain extent, it would affect the direction of a Magus in the future.
If a Magus had an affinity with fire elemental energy particles, it would naturally be easier to cast fire spells in the future, and the power would be much stronger.
However, compared to a Magus' aptitude, although elemental affinity was also very important, it would not affect a Magus' progress.
Even if it was water elemental energy particles, it would still not affect the casting of fire elemental spells, but it would be a little more strenuous.
In the room, as the meditation ended, Adil opened his eyes.
"The energy particles that I have the most affinity with are light and plant elemental energy particles. Apart from a few elemental energy particles that repel me, most of them seem to be able to be guided normally."
Standing up in Silence, Adil thought about the feeling he had when he was meditating and muttered to himself, "Plants and light, is it because of the elven bloodline?"
