Chapter 105 103. Duncan's distress letter
Russell followed Professor Black Amber's instructions, found a corner to sit down in the office, ordered the wind chime to possess him, and drank the crystal emerald potion in one gulp.
The scene of the boy drinking medicine was reflected in the black cat's amber pupils.
The sweet potion entered his stomach, and Russell's whole body felt hot, so he closed his eyes and meditated.
During the visualization, spiritual waves rise and fall, each wave is more turbulent and majestic than the last.
After three hours of meditation and spiritual ascension, Russell breathed out a breath of dirty air, opened his eyes, and completely digested the potion.
The peak level of spiritual cultivation in the late first grade, the psychic's familiarity with one's own spirit, the control of extraordinary powers as a magic genius, the powerful second grade female ghost Wind Chime that possesses Russell and helps him resist the impact of the medicine, Black Amber is in With the timely verbal guidance during these 3 hours...with the help of various factors, Russell's spirit was stable and normal, and he was not damaged by the side effects of the medicine.
Russell observed his condition.
He felt that his vision and hearing were sharper than before, and even his intuition had improved. He turned on his spiritual vision, and the vision he saw was equally clear.
His psychic skills have greatly improved, and he can now accurately control the ghosts he drives at a distance of more than a hundred meters, and share their sight and hearing, using the ghosts as the best scouts.
If it is a contract spirit like Wind Chime, the distance will be doubled!
Russell took a deep breath and smiled: "I was successfully promoted to half-step second grade."
"What does half-step second grade mean?" Black Amber didn't quite understand this strange vocabulary.
"It is the spiritual standard that needs to be met to enter the second grade." Russell replied.
In the grade system invented by Subway, half-step to a certain grade is one of the few grades that can mutually confirm with the "official standards."
Generally speaking, first-year students can advance to the second grade after their spiritual progress reaches half-step to the second grade and they pass the final assessment of each course. After absorbing the knowledge scrolls of the second grade in the new school year, the students' spirituality will be further improved and promoted to the early stage of the second grade.
Russell closed his eyes and took a closer look at his physical state, confirming that he was stronger mentally and physically than before.
However, after reaching a higher level of spiritual cultivation, he finally clearly realized that his spirituality was declining at an extremely slow rate.
Russell was not surprised by this, this was something he had expected. He didn't have this obvious feeling until he was halfway to the second grade level, which is already proof of his excellent magic talent.
Use spiritual methods to meditate, practice extraordinary ways, and practice magic to polish your spirituality. The above methods can enhance your spirituality and improve your spiritual level.
However, the spiritual level does not just rise and fall.
The higher the spiritual level, the faster the experience will be lost over time. As an old Chinese saying goes, "Learning is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat."
One day, the spiritual ascension rate and the descent rate of extraordinary people's daily practice will be the same, and they will reach the limit of their talents. Unless there are new opportunities or insights in the future, it will be difficult to continue climbing.
Russell had long heard from Subway that in the college, after the annual vacation and students return to school, the spiritual level of most students will decline to varying degrees.
For example, a student who was originally a half-step second grade student came back from summer vacation and his spiritual level dropped to the late first grade. Because the level has been lowered, it is not suitable to directly absorb the knowledge scrolls of the second grade, which creates a lot of trouble for normal teaching.
In the academy, it is generally called "summer vacation syndrome"!
Therefore, every year in June before the end of the school year and the start of the three-month vacation, teachers in the junior college will repeatedly remind you not to give up spiritual practice and magic practice during the vacation.
"Thank you, teacher. With half the strength of a second grader, it will be easier to perform undercover missions in the future." After thanking Russell, he put forward his own ideas: "This school year,
I successfully passed the final assessment and was promoted to the second grade. Qualification should not be a problem.
“But there are still 4 months until the end of the semester and 7 months until the start of the next school year. Step by step, it will take at least 7 months for me to absorb the second-grade knowledge scroll, acquire 'Herbology', and be promoted to a second-grade transcendent. "Is it possible to simplify this step and let me get the second-grade knowledge scroll in advance?
"I am the hero who is predicted to defeat the Demon King. I am worried that the subsequent undercover missions will have greater risks. If I can be promoted to the second grade as soon as possible, Those with stronger grades will be much less of a threat. "
Black Amber was a little dazed when he heard this proposal, thinking that Russell's proposal was somewhat crazy.
Most of the students in the college are in the first grade. They have repeated the first grade for several years, and it is difficult to advance to the second grade.
And now the third grade The school year has just passed halfway, and freshman Russell wants to skip a grade directly and absorb the knowledge scrolls of the second grade in advance!
Of course, there are many outstanding freshmen in the history of the college. But they usually have a foundation in spiritual practice before entering the school. , it is rare for someone like Russell who comes from an ordinary family to enter the academy and is promoted so quickly.
"I can pay the tuition and textbook fees for the second grade in advance, a total of 30 academy gold coins. As for the final assessment, I believe it is not a big problem. "Russell added.
Professor Black Amber thought for a moment and felt that Russell's idea did have merit:
"Indeed, your situation is quite special. You need to perform secret missions and quickly improve your strength. I will consider your suggestion and find a way to contact the school to accommodate. "
...
After thanking Professor Black Amber, Russell left her office.
Before attending the next Wonton Club gathering, or before the students responsible for tracking vermouth discovered new clues, Russell found that he was relatively relaxed and had nothing to do for the time being. An urgent task.
Now with 62 college gold coins in hand, his next goal is to buy some extraordinary items suitable for himself to increase his combat effectiveness and resistance to risks. After dinner,
Russell returned to the dormitory.
After returning to the dormitory, Subway took the initiative to chat with Russell. During the chat, he "accidentally" revealed a secret:
"Oh, Russell, how did you know? I was lucky enough to have an insight yesterday, and my strength has greatly increased, and I have reached the half-step second grade! "
Russell was too lazy to pay attention to him and sat back in his seat. He was about to turn on his computer and log in to the trading area of the college's official website.
At this time, he suddenly discovered that there was a folded note on his laptop.
" Was this note left alone? Russell asked Subway behind him while opening the note.
"What note? " "Subway was confused.
It's not him... Russell, who had just unfolded the top part of the note, saw the words at the top of the note, and his pupils slightly enlarged. What came into
view were several large blood-red characters:
"Help me! Russell
forcibly controlled his facial expression, continued to unfold the note, and read the small print below:
"Don't tell anyone, you saw this note!" "
Who are you? How should I save you? As soon as these thoughts emerged in Russell's mind, he discovered that the words following the note just answered his questions. It was as if the person who wrote the note knew in advance what he wanted to ask.
"My name is Duncan.
"I am a first-year student in the Department of Astrology and Numerology. After completing the final exam and about to enter the second grade, I was stripped out of the real world because I touched some taboos of the academy... ”
