For the past few days, apart from attending classes on time, Connor had spent the rest of his time practicing the breathing technique of the Ferguson Family. However, what was frustrating was that the training of a Knight was a long process. Without a fortuitous encounter, it was impossible to improve one's strength in a short period of time. Connor's practice over the past few days had not improved his physical fitness at all.
[Beep! Following Host's will, the A.I. Chip has found seventeen ways to improve your ability to protect yourself …]
Without waiting for the A.I. Chip to finish speaking, Connor, who was well aware of the A.I. Chip's character, directly commanded in his mind.
"Just tell me the methods that are feasible. Don't waste my time on those unreliable rumors!"
[Beep! Following Host's will, the most feasible methods are: First, purchase firearms. Second, optimize the breathing technique of the Ferguson Family. Third, seek guidance from Host's mentor, Professor Reyes.]
When he heard the first method, Connor rolled his eyes. In the current Kaman Empire, firearms and ammunition were strictly controlled items. Without the approval of the local council, it was impossible to purchase them through official channels. Purchasing firearms and ammunition without permission was a serious crime, punishable by hanging. Even if Connor was audacious enough to buy them from the black market, he had no connections in Loen.
However, when Connor heard the second method, which was to optimize the breathing technique of a Knight, his eyes instantly lit up! Without hesitation, he replied, "Optimize the breathing technique of a Knight immediately!"
[Beep! Following Host's will, begin optimizing the breathing technique of a Knight. Estimated time to complete task is 57 minutes!]
"Less than an hour? That's pretty fast! Then let's consider the third method first! "Connor decided.
In order to better implement the goal of nurturing talents, the History Department of Greene University adopted the teaching method of a mentor system. Every seven or eight students were assigned a mentor, and the mentor was responsible for the student's studies throughout the entire university period. At the same time, Greene University also set up some compulsory public courses for the students to study.
Professor Reyes, whom the A.I. Chip had mentioned, was the tutor in charge of Connor's university studies. Originally, Connor's mentor wasn't Reyes, but an old man who was over eighty years old. However, at the beginning of the second academic year, because the original mentor was too old, Green University had no choice but to retire this old professor. Therefore, Reyes became Connor's mentor.
Reyes had graduated from the most famous institution in the Kaman Empire, Rumford University, and had a doctorate in history. The reason why the A.I. Chip believed that such a scholar could help Connor increase his ability to protect himself was because apart from his identity as a scholar, Professor Reyes also had the strength of a Grand Knight recognised by the empire!
The strength system of knights was divided like a pyramid. Connor was now an official knight, and was in the middle of the pyramid. Below him were reserve knights like George, and above them were Grand Knights. In Connor's memory, the strength of a Grand Knight was still terrifying. With the current development of firearms in the Kaman Empire, ordinary firearms would not be able to harm a Grand Knight. If it was to deal with a normal person, a Grand Knight would have no problem dealing with a hundred adult men under normal circumstances!
From his memory, Connor's impression of his current mentor, Reyes, was quite good. Reyes didn't only teach Connor history, but also gave him a lot of pointers in his training as a knight. Connor being able to have the strength of an official knight at such a young age was partly due to Professor Reyes.
Just as Connor was thinking about how to ask Professor Reyes for advice, the A.I. Chip's voice sounded in his ear.
[Beep! Ferguson family's knight breathing technique, optimization completed. Total time spent: 1 hour and 8 minutes, 11 minutes later than expected.]
Not bothering about why it was 11 minutes later than expected, Connor went straight to the point and ordered, "Check the effects of the Knight breathing technique optimization!"
[Beep! Compared to before, the effects of the optimized Knights' breathing technique had increased by 30%! After the Host expands the experience of the Knight breathing technique, it is very likely that the Knight breathing technique can undergo a second optimization.]
"30%?" Hearing this, Connor was slightly disappointed. He had hoped that the A.I. Chip's optimization of the breathing technique would allow his strength to soar, but now it seemed that the A.I. Chip's help wasn't omnipotent. His thoughts seemed to be wishful thinking.
However, when Connor thought about it, for a hereditary aristocrat like the Ferguson family, the Knight breathing technique that had been passed down for generations was naturally not something that could be compared to the normal breathing technique. For such a breathing technique to be able to increase the effectiveness by 30% was already not a small increase. If not for Connor's current situation, this was already a huge surprise!
"Looks like I really have to seek Professor Reyes's guidance." Connor sighed inwardly and made up his mind.
Connor still had some misgivings about meeting Professor Reyes. In the Kahman Empire, Grand Knights were already considered strong. In addition, extraordinary abilities really did exist in this world, and he himself had transmigrated from Earth. Who knew if the secret of his transmigration would be discovered? At that time, he might become a lab rat for those Magi to conduct research on.
This was actually the reason why Connor didn't dare to seek help from the police or other government departments after discovering that he had been cursed to death. If you said you were cursed to death, then why are you still alive now? You wouldn't be able to answer this question even if you had a mouth!
However, the current situation forced him to do so. The murderer hiding in the dark could unleash a second curse at any time. Connor had no choice but to take this risk.
Whether it was on Earth or in this world, Connor was a person with high execution ability. Since he had decided to do something, he wouldn't delay it. He immediately looked at the dressing mirror, tidied his black windbreaker, put on his bowler hat, and set off from the apartment.
Connor Ferguson was currently living at 16 Rand Street in the East District of Loen City. As for Mentor Reyes, he was looking for, because it was convenient for him to go to work, he lived in a villa beside Grimm University in the North District. Although both were in the city, they weren't very close to each other. If he were to walk, it would take at least half an hour to get there. Therefore, the public carriage that took half an hour and cost one penny per kilometer was Connor's best choice for transportation!
