The teacher of the Elementary Meditation class was a white-haired old man. The large lecture hall was filled with freshmen wearing robes of various colors. This class was the most important basic class in the early stages of the Magician Department. Any magic user who wanted to walk the path of a Magician couldn't not choose this class.
The professor opened the roll of names and browsed through it with a magnifying glass. Then, he officially started the roll call.
The new students were whispering among themselves, discussing this meditation teacher of Lighthouse Academy that had never been replaced. It was said that he was a Level 1 player who had lived for almost three hundred years. He was the descendant of the earliest batch of players. His research on meditation was well-known throughout the Seven Continents.
In the future, both Intermediate Meditation and Advanced Meditation would be part of his courses.
"Silence." The old professor coughed a few times and the voices stopped immediately. Even though he was no longer in combat, his prestige as a player could still easily intimidate this group of young people.
Everyone sat up straight, quietly waiting for him to call the roll.
Li Xiang's name was at the top of the list. When he saw the note of a four-element mix, even the old professor couldn't help but look up at the young man sitting alone in the first row.
"The Mixed Element Course hasn't recruited anyone for many years. This time, there is a new student with a four-element mix. Not bad." The old professor's voice was soft, but it was easily transmitted to everyone's ears. Countless new students were shocked when they heard that Li Xiang was a four-element mix. They let out a soft murmur.
After all, they were all students of a single element. The heavy workload and exams had pushed most of them to the brink of collapse. It was said that nearly a hundred students from the four schools could not handle the pressure and had even dropped out. The first monthly exam would probably eliminate some of them. It was clear that the workload in Lighthouse Academy was difficult.
Li Xiang's four-element mix was more than just four times the pressure on them. The difficulty was simply unimaginable.
Li Xiang replied, "Here." He sat down again.
After the roll call, the old professor nodded in satisfaction. Almost no one was late for his class, unless they didn't want to continue with their future studies. Without Elementary Meditation, they couldn't continue with their studies.
"Alright, students, time is limited. Let's begin your first lesson on meditation. Before that, I would like to ask, do you know the 'Kokyu-ho' that guardians and hitmen learn?" As the old professor waved his scepter, a screen of light descended from above, displaying the basic models of the three Professionists.
The freshmen all nodded their heads. Although they didn't have much contact with him, they still had some basic information about him.
"Yes, student Li Xiang. Since you're a student of both professions, why don't you briefly explain the [Breathing Technique] to everyone?" The old professor directly called out.
Li Xiang stood up. His loud and clear voice immediately resounded throughout the lecture hall.
"Yes, Professor. The so-called breathing method, as the name suggests, is to use a specific breathing method to replace the normal breathing method that we normally use. Breathing is the foundation of human survival. At the same time, it is also the most basic function of the body. Even the Five Kings need to breathe like us. "
"And an effective breathing method can reduce the consumption of our body's functions and increase the efficiency of our use. Over time, it can have the effect of strengthening the body and prolonging life. This is one of the reasons why guardians and hitmen are much stronger than magicians in terms of physique. We pay more attention to the expansion of mental power and the use of intelligence. Because a person's energy is limited, it's almost impossible to practice more, so the [Breathing Technique] won't be taught in the Magician Department. "
Li Xiang finished speaking and looked at the old professor. He nodded his head in satisfaction and pressed his hand down, indicating that he could sit down. He then waved his scepter a few times, changing the picture on the screen.
"As Li Xiang said, the [Breathing Technique] is an important way to improve your physique. But once you break through to Level-3 and become a player, the [Magician]'s physique is not important. We magicians use magic. The six major elements of magic are enough for us to study until our lives are exhausted. There's no time to waste on physique. But in contrast, Li Xiang just mentioned, what we need is mental power and intelligence. The latter is fixed and difficult to change, but mental power can be changed. "
The old professor tapped his head with his scepter and smiled. "I'm 296 years old this year. Even among the players, I'm considered an old man. In terms of the human body, the limit of an ordinary person is around 140 years old. Magic users are around 200 years old, and players are around 300 years old. Even in the later years of life, physical strength, mental strength, and other aspects will begin to passively degrade. The reason I can maintain such efficiency is because of this meditation method. "
The freshmen listened very carefully, afraid to miss a detail. Many of them came from good family backgrounds, and many of them even had real players in their families. So they were quite familiar with this.
Li Xiang took notes as he listened. He listened very carefully to the professor's lectures, even if it was just theory. He would try his best to remember it and digest it when he got back. He would compare it with the analysis of the mechanical roulette and absorb it quickly.
"You should all know that in order to become a Magician, you have to find a suitable carrier during the player's assessment after your core is broken. What a Magician needs is the basic Magic Rune. The first basic Magic Rune will also determine which Element you will focus on in the future. This is very important. As for meditation, it allows you to gather a rune prototype in your mind." The old professor glanced at them. A blonde girl raised her hand. "Ask away, little girl."
"Respected Professor Odum, I'm Shirley Hoyer, a new magician. I'd like to ask you a question. Can the rune prototype we gather using the meditation method be seen as belonging to the six major elements?" the blonde girl asked excitedly.
She seemed to be more familiar with the magician profession. Her eyes were full of anticipation and desire.
Professor Odum smiled and nodded. "That's right, ma 'am. You're a little impatient. This is exactly what I want to talk about now. Just as Madam Shirley said, after you use Cogitation, you will slowly gather a magic rune prototype in your mind. During this period, your mental strength will continue to soar, and your physique and other aspects will improve faster. This way, you won't fall too far behind the freshmen of the other two faculties, or the barbarians of Torch Academy. "
Hearing him call the students of Torch Academy barbarians, the freshmen burst into laughter. This was a joke and also a consensus in the magician circle.
Magicians were often arrogant and looked down on the players of the other two major professions, not to mention the students of Torch Academy who gave up on becoming players purely to increase their combat strength.
Even if they were likely to become the backbone of some of the magician teams here in the future, these arrogant magicians would still ask them to sign a master-servant contract before joining the team to show their authority and status.
However, it was undeniable that from the need to awaken six magic circuits to the longer and more difficult cultivation, magicians were indeed the strongest of the three major professions. They were also the most difficult to achieve.
Naturally, they had the right to do so.
However, before they became magicians, they would always be ahead of the other two major professions. This was also common knowledge.
"Today, while teaching you the meditation technique, I will also teach you how to distinguish the basic rune prototypes of the six major magic categories."
Offensive, Strengthening Domain, Auxiliary, Universal, Summoning, and Mystical — these were the six major categories of magic. Among them, Strengthening Domain, Auxiliary, and Universal were simplified into the countless magic spells they used now.
Six complicated patterns of basic runes appeared on the light screen. Li Xiang immediately sketched them on his notebook with a pen.
Professor Odam was shocked by his actions.
Almost all of the freshmen present chose to record it with the communication device's camera function. He was the only one who sketched it himself.
It wasn't that the others were lazy, but that these six basic runes were too complicated. Moreover, the differences between them were in the countless fine lines. If they couldn't be accurately sketched, it would be impossible to distinguish them.
For others, this was too difficult. However, for Li Xiang who had been making precision firearms for a long time, it wasn't too difficult.
