My blood regeneration is 100 million points faster

Kulov held the corner of his beard with his right hand and clicked on the questionnaire with his other hand, "Write down your true thoughts. Keep it a secret after you leave here and don't mention this questionnaire to other students."

"Yes, Professor."

Xia Zuo ruffled the hair on the top of his head to calm his wandering mind and focused on the questionnaire.

This questionnaire, which is only a few hundred words long, reveals a lot of information about the school and the kingdom. This is a secret that can only be known after becoming a mage apprentice.

He was appreciated by professors for his outstanding performance and was fortunate to know these contents in advance.

Starry Night Academy is a mage academy responsible for training formal mages, even high-level mages.

There are many similar organizations in the world.

They belong to the Mage Temple.

Hundreds of years ago, an alchemist named Lady Starry Night was successfully promoted from a high-level mage to an archmage, and strengthened the alchemy school.

She was granted a territory from the Mage Temple, which is where the Starry Night Kingdom is now.

If the formal mages trained by Starry Night Academy are outstanding enough, they will be sent to the Silver Moon Federation to continue their studies. After becoming high-level mages, they will have the opportunity to continue practicing with Ms. Starry Night.

It is Ms. Xingye's instruction that Xingye Academy recruits students who are friendly.

Even within the Mage Temple, there are only a handful of people who will become great mage in the future.

Lady Starry Night is one of them.

Cultivating students with acquired affinity on such a large scale is undoubtedly a bold attempt by the Alchemy School.

The Alchemy School wants to prove to other schools that in addition to practicing breathing techniques to the extreme, acquired affinity people can also become mages by learning alchemy.

Xia Zuo realized the weight behind this answer sheet.

Maybe it will be presented to Lady Starry Night, so every word written is carefully considered.

The first dozen questions are related to the class experience and learning difficulty of the subject.

Xia Zuo wrote down his feelings honestly.

The experience of taking the alchemy general course was good.

Although some courses themselves are relatively boring, such as alchemical linguistics, the teachers in the classes are charming and the atmosphere in the class is peaceful and interesting.

Xia Zuo unabashedly praised the head of the hospital in the questionnaire

He did not deliberately hide the shortcomings of some courses, but expressed his dissatisfaction in more tactful terms.

It's like a Megazoology course on the subject of giant creations.

The teacher is Professor Burton, a tall, muscular bearded man who likes to wear tight leather jackets that highlight his muscle lines.

He was the mentor to young Merburn Riley, the son of a blacksmith.

Both of them disliked books equally and were only interested in furnaces and iron felts.

In his class, almost the whole process was filled with the sound of hammers hitting hard objects, and there was very little specific explanation.

The students can only roughly guess what Teacher Barry is doing by comparing the illustrations and knowledge points in "Gigantology".

Xia Zuo answered most of the questions with smooth handwriting, and the tip of his pen suddenly paused.

The last two questions on the questionnaire are tricky.

Beatrice, the head of the hospital, suggested,

Alchemy, linguistics, anatomy, herbalism, pharmacies, poisons, oils, macrophysics,

Each of these seven alchemy general courses has only one chance to retake it.

If you fail this year's exam or make-up exam, you can retake it with the freshmen next year.

If you fail to retake the exam, you will be forced to drop out of school.

Where did it come from, where does it go back.

This is different from the treatment of students who are naturally friendly.

Every student who is naturally friendly is destined to become a mage, and the school will not give up on any of them. Besides, none of the naturally friendly students ever failed.

So, do you agree with the proposal of the president?

What are the reasons for agreement or disapproval?

Xia Zuo held his chin, frowning and thinking.

The opportunity to enter a university is rare and will completely affect a person's life. Every acquired affinity student knows this clearly.

They will study hard for seven general courses.

If you can't even pass the re-examination

That is indeed not material for learning alchemy. It is better to free up teaching resources for other freshmen as soon as possible.

Xia Zuo glanced at the instructor with a calm expression, picked up his pen and wrote down his answer, then looked at the next and last question.

The leader of the House, Beatrice, proposed the second motion.

In the past, the number of students with innate affinity was very small, and professors could teach one-on-one or one-on-three.

When the number of acquired affinity students is so large, the quality of teaching cannot be guaranteed, and professors cannot fully understand the academic status of each student.

Beatrice plans to use another way to motivate Acquired Affinity students to learn.

In the days before this year, students at the academy would receive bounty orders from the warrior guild from their instructors.

The mentor promises a reward and sends suitable mage apprentices or formal mage to complete these bounty orders.

This is how the resident mage came to be.

Beatrice plans to formally establish a Mage Guild in the academy, imitating the points system of the Warrior Guild, and the currency used to exchange rewards will also be points.

In the mage servant stage, the points of the mage guild come from the results of course examinations and class tests.

After becoming a mage's apprentice, earn points by completing bounties.

The rewards points can be redeemed for are not listed on the questionnaire.

Just asking, do you agree with Beatrice's proposal?

Just as Xia Zuo was thinking about how to answer, Kulov tapped the table and said:

"A mage apprentice can only grow his spiritual ocean by constantly absorbing the well-behaved elements. He needs to run around looking for traces of the unruly elements.

"This is from the Introduction to Meditation."

Xia Zuo looked up at his mentor and nodded in response.

Kulov controlled the teapot to serve himself tea, and said at the same time:

"We will put unruly elements into the Mage Guild as a reward."

Xia Zuo tilted his head, narrowed his eyes and asked in confusion:

"Professor, don't you need the unruly elements? Why don't you absorb them yourself?"

“The uninhibited element comes in many forms.”

Kulov put the teapot back on the coffee table, picked up the teacup and brought it to his mouth, "What a mage apprentice can tame is only the weakest unruly element. You will know when you read the entry-level meditation method later."

Xia Zuo watched his mentor drink the tea. Feeling a little thirsty, he picked up his tea cup and took a sip. Then he picked up the pen and wrote the word "agree" in the blank space of the last question.

The title didn't require an explanation of the reason, so he didn't write much else.

Xia Zuo pushed up the cap of the pen and handed the completed questionnaire to the instructor:

"Professor, am I the only one who wants to fill out this questionnaire?"

"You are not the only one. Every professor has students they admire, and they are filling out questionnaires at this moment."

Kulov had already read through all the answers while Xia Zuo was writing, and now folded the questionnaire back into small squares.

He stood up from the wooden chair and said:

"When the final exam results are announced in half a year, you will know who they are, and they will know you."

Xia Zuo watched Kulov walking around the desk and heading towards the door, as if he was leaving the alchemy room, so he stood up and asked:

"Can I try another poison?"

Kulov waved his hand back and said in an easy-going tone:

"You can use the alchemy tables and poison bottles here as you wish. But they are only limited to making apprentice-level poisons."

Xia Zuo watched the other party leave, sat back on the chair, and reviewed his previous performance in his mind. There should be no flaws, and Kulov was quite open-minded.

Um..

He is very open-minded towards good students. This is true for any teacher.

Xia Zuo walked to the alchemy table, picked up the remaining two black eye poisons, and poured them into his mouth together.

When the toxin concentration remains unchanged, increasing the dose will only prolong the duration of the negative effects.

He lay down on the table and took a nap for 2 minutes, easily overcoming the visual hallucinations and deafness.

"Tsk tsk~"

Xia Zuo walked to the toxin cabinet with unfinished thoughts, and found fusin and turmeric again, preparing to make a full pot of black eye poison at once.

After one hour.

【HP】42/45

The process of evaporating to dryness is a bit long, and more toxins are poured in. The blood deduction speed exceeds the blood recovery speed, and a little blood is lost.

This is just a minor issue.

Xia Zuo stood proudly in front of a row of twenty black-eyed poisons. With a wave of his hand, he picked up three poisons and poured them into his mouth, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

Since Kulov said to use it as you like, just drink it and that’s it!

Trainee-level poison, plenty of it!

…

Noon four months later.

Today is Saturday.

After five days of classes, I can finally relax.

Most of the students dining in the restaurant had expressions of relief.

Life in a university is not about food and clothing, but academic pressure is too great.

Two weeks ago, various professors announced to their students the new general course examination arrangements and the plan to establish a mages guild.

Every new student feels that the burden on them is much heavier, and they are afraid that they will fail the exams consecutively and be forced to withdraw from Starry Night Academy.

This is so embarrassing and so unacceptable.

Especially after seeing the prosperity of the kingdom's capital and enjoying the excellent material conditions in the school, no one would be willing to drop out and return to their backward and shabby hometown.

Everyone hopes to become a mage apprentice, officially register with the Mage Guild, receive bounty orders from various provinces and cities, earn silver coins and fame, and save enough points to exchange for rewards within the guild.

Under the dual influence of exam pressure and future vision, students have consciously compressed the one-and-a-half-day break on weekends to one day, or even half a day.

The rest of the break is used for self-study.

Humans are social animals, and this is also true when it comes to self-study.

Reading alone in the dormitory without supervision makes it easy to get distracted. Looking at the good weather and the sparkling lake outside the window, my mind wanders to the sky.

Most students will find a seat in the library to read.

Regardless of whether the people sitting next to each other know each other, they are accustomed to sitting one after another, leaving an empty seat between them and keeping a suitable distance from each other.

When this tacit understanding of seat selection becomes an underlying rule, there will not be enough seats in the library.

Those students who want to study together will come to the restaurant, where several people can sit at a square table from Sunday morning to evening without even having to move their seats.

Over time, small groups of students occupied the best seats in the library and dining hall.

Every weekend, they will take turns arranging people to be on duty at the seats. In this way, even if you go out for a walk outside the school, you can still study in the most comfortable place when you come back.

Xia Zuo originally did not plan to study by himself in public. He would be more efficient reading alone.

In the dormitory, there was no sound of footsteps walking back and forth, no laughter trying to lower the voice, no coughing from time to time...

There are no noises that can interrupt your thoughts, and your attention will always be at its peak.

But Anruer wanted to see him and have someone by her side during self-study.

Xia Zuo had no choice but to meet her on the weekend, carrying a bag of books.

At first, they tried to study together in the restaurant...

Because I really can’t get a seat in the library.

A group of regular visitors to the library got up earlier than usual. After grabbing their favorite seats, they all lay down on the table to catch up on their sleep.

Xia Zuo and Anruer were stunned at the sight of people swarming into the library.

The two turned around and headed to the restaurant. But the less distracting corners here are occupied by small groups. The self-study efficiency in the remaining positions is very low.

As for classrooms and dormitories, there is no need to think about them.

The castle manager, Diem Carr, has stipulated in the "Castle Code".

[Article 5: You are not allowed to go to any classroom without permission during non-school hours. 】

[Article 7: People of the opposite sex are not allowed to enter the dormitory, nor are people of the same sex. Everyone is only allowed to enter their own dormitory. 】

Seeing Anruer's lonely look, Xia Zuo patted his head and decided to find his mentor.

The poison alchemy area is large enough, and because the number of students in the subject is too small, classes are usually held in the alchemy room, and the small classroom next door is never used.

Xia Zuo stood in front of his tutor, blushing very rarely, and made a request that he and Anruer study by themselves in the small classroom in the poison alchemy area.

"Anruer?"

Kulov touched his beard and stared at his favorite student. There was a smile in his eyes. He had some impression of this black-haired girl. She had been sitting next to Xia Zuo during the poison class.

A heavy album floated from the bookcase and was opened in front of the soft sofa.

Kulov read the words above, then controlled the pen on the desk and wrote a few words on the letter paper.

The letter flew out of the poison alchemy area.

A few minutes later, a letter flew back, containing a reply from the castle administrator Dim and a key.

Xia Zuo knew this kind of key. It was used to open the iron wardrobe in the shower room.

"take it."

Kulov threw the key to Xia Zuo and said with a smile:

"Anru'er's spiritual ocean is almost close to the level of a mage apprentice. You can make apprentice-level poisons with her and communicate more, and you will get different results."

"Thank you, Professor."

Xia Zuo took the key and bowed to thank his mentor.

After a while, Xia Zuo and Anruer walked into the poison alchemy area and thanked Kulov again.

In the small classroom across the wall from the alchemy room, the two lifted up the hoods that covered their hair and took off their leather gloves. There were no toxin bottles here, so they could loosen some of their special robes from the poison alchemy area.

"Did Teacher Kulov blame you?" Anruer sat aside and whispered with her head lowered.

"No. He also asked me to help you make poison."

Xia Zuo smiled, took out the books from his schoolbag, and said:

"Let's read a book first. After dinner, we will go to the alchemy room and I will take you to try a non-lethal poison."

"Well, okay~"

Anruer came over and hugged her shoulders for a few seconds, then sat back down and opened the book.

Xia Zuo stared at the page in a daze, sighing inexplicably...

Over the past few months, Anruer has become more and more dependent on herself.

Perhaps it was the same bereavement experience that made her feel like she had found someone with the same problem?

Or do you simply want to find someone you like and trust as a companion?

He couldn't figure it out.

Therefore, the relationship between the two was deliberately controlled at the current level and did not go any further.
