Chapter 12 Trouble
Meditation is not an easy thing.
Link easily reached the first level of the meditation method the first time he meditated. It was a shocking thing to realize the level jump from the ordinary to the extraordinary.
The wizarding world is so big and has such a long history, of course there are people who have done this before.
But what happened to Link, a new blood from the Storm Sea, was very eye-catching.
Link didn't want to cause trouble, and even though he was happy inside, he wasn't ready to make a big show of it.
He wasn't going to tell anyone on his own initiative!
After exiting the meditative state, Link found that his sea of consciousness had changed drastically.
From bottom to top, the sea of consciousness is divided into three layers.
The bottom is the reflection of the Memory Library in the lake, the middle is the Memory Library itself, and the top is the rune equilateral triangle suspended above the lake.
The boundaries are blurred, but the layers are clear, yet natural and harmonious.
The runic equilateral triangle constructed by meditation and the thinking palace constructed by "Occlumency" coexist harmoniously in the sea of consciousness.
As blessed as his soul, Link had an idea that might be able to hide that he had become a first-class wizard apprentice.
However, it cannot be implemented immediately.
Constructing runes through meditation requires the consumption of mental energy.
One rune requires at least 5 standard units of mental power.
That is to say, Link's innate mental power is 17, and with the help of "Occlumency", which can construct the runes almost without damage, Link can complete the first level of "Water and Wood Meditation Method" in one go.
Now, Link needs to get enough sleep to regain his mental strength.
He got up from the floor, dragged his exhausted body into the bedroom, and fell asleep.
It was a sound sleep.
After waking up, Link felt refreshed and happy.
Not in a hurry to get up and wash up, Link lay on the bed and used Occlumency to enter the sea of consciousness. He tried to reflect the rune equilateral triangle into the lake to form a reflection.
This was just an attempt that was both gratifying and disappointing, but unexpectedly it was successful.
Link suppressed some excitement and made the reflection of the rune's equilateral triangle come true, and then concealed the main body above the lake.
In this way, as long as Link himself is not exposed, at least the new blood will not be able to detect the changes that have occurred in Link.
As for the teachers at the academy, Link was not sure whether the official wizards could detect them.
But he wasn't very afraid either.
It's not a shameful thing, right?
…
It was now Sunday morning.
It's a new day.
Yesterday, Saturday, Link had a very fulfilling life. He meditated during the day and slept at night, and he gained a lot.
After washing, Link thought about it and decided to go to the library to study.
All the previous accumulation has been exhausted when completing the first level of the "Water and Wood Mutual Generation Meditation Method".
If you want to reach the second level of meditation and be promoted to a second-class wizard apprentice, your mental power must be above 30, and the more knowledge related to "Rune Literature" the better.
This does not include the study of witchcraft.
A first-class wizard apprentice can master a number of 0-level witchcraft ranging from 1 to 10.
The essence of witchcraft is that the wizard controls his own magic power through mental power, combines his will and knowledge to form a witchcraft model, so as to leverage the huge free magic power in the outside world, thereby affecting and changing reality.
The construction of the witchcraft model is much more complex and profound than meditation. It is not only the connection and relationship between runes and runes, but also the connection and feedback between people and things, things and things, people and nature, and nature and people.
No matter which aspect, Link needs a long time to accumulate knowledge.
There is no limit to the sea of learning.
... In the library, not long after Link sat down, Jasmine came.
"Link, Link..."
Jasmine didn't come here to study. As soon as she came, she called to Link repeatedly and waved her little hand back and forth in front of his eyes several times.
Link put down his pen, looked up at Jasmine, and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?"
"Stop reading all day long, come with me to go out and play."
Jasmine showed a flattering smile on her face, and used her lolita coquettish tricks. .
"Go out and talk."
Link glanced around and found that there were many people in the reading room. He didn't want to disturb others, so he stood up and motioned for Jasmine to follow.
Finding a corner in the empty hall outside the reading room, Link asked: "What activities are you planning to participate in?" Jasmine
giggled and replied: "Didn't I join the 'New Blood Mutual Aid Association'? The mutual aid association is in the lake today. Let’s have a picnic on the southern lawn.”
Link refused coldly: “I’m not interested in any mutual aid meetings, so I won’t go.”
After saying that, Link turned around and left.
Endless knowledge is calling him, and he has no time to play with the "New Blood Mutual Aid Association" who sells dog meat in sheep's clothing. Wouldn't it be nice to spend his time reading books and studying?
"Link..."
Jasmine suddenly grabbed Link's right hand, holding Link's palm tightly with a pair of soft little hands, shaking it back and forth, begging coquettishly: "Oh, please come with me, please Please. Just go with me. I'm a little scared to go alone. If something happens to me, no one can help me."
Looking at the blond and blue-eyed girl with her childish face, she is not pretentious at all, she is very delicate and charming. In a cute act of coquettishness, Link used the "Occlumency" sword of wisdom to cut away any restless emotions.
Witch, disturb my Taoist heart!
It starts in three years, and the death penalty is capped.
However, safety issues do need to be taken seriously.
At such gatherings, when young people get drunk, assaults can easily occur.
Not wanting to see his fellow villagers become victims of similar incidents, Link sighed and reluctantly.
"Okay, I'll accompany you once. I won't
do it again." Jasmine heard this and cheered excitedly: "Ha, you agreed, it's so rare! I knew Link was the best!"
Facts have proved that girls are not as competitive as ever. Boys are small.
In the past two weeks, Jasmine tried many times to drag Link to accompany her around the academy and participate in entertainment activities, but she was always rejected.
Jasmine was not hit, and her fighting spirit became even higher.
Today, Jasmine showed a little bit of coquettishness and took down Link. She was happy and proud!
Man, hum!
That's it.
Link looked at Jasmine celebrating with a calm expression.
After packing up the books and putting them back in the dormitory, Link accompanied Jasmine, who had followed him from the library to the dormitory downstairs, and headed to the south lawn by the lake.
The South Lawn is so vast that the New Blood Mutual Aid Society's picnic only occupies a corner of it.
Jasmine was very popular. As soon as she came to the picnic area, she was pulled over by several girls and started chatting.
Link took a glass of sparkling wine from the tall wine tower and sipped it leisurely, keeping an eye on Jasmine out of the corner of his eye.
It is indeed easy for some unspeakable things to happen at gatherings like this where people come and go.
It should be noted that the "New Blood Mutual Aid Association" is an old organization. There are not only 12-year-old boys and girls who have just entered school, but also a lot of senior students aged 15 or 16.
"Are you Link Grande?"
Suddenly, a tall and muscular man came straight to Link and said coldly,
"Stay away from Jasmine Kidman from now on!"
