Above the mage!

Chapter 127 Training Room

Gao De also selected "Character Literature".

Regardless of whether this course is easy to learn or whether he would be interested in it, since the instructor assigned to him is the head of the Rune Department, would it be unreasonable for him not to choose "Rune Literature"?

The attitude must be in place first.

Gao De still understands the ways of the world.

Currently, he can only choose the first stage course of "Runeology", and he can get 1 credit after completing it. The course fee is 10 gold coins.

The "Runology" course consists of seven stages, and completing all of them will earn you 28 credits.

In comparison, the other two of the three majors: Alchemy and Potions, have only five stages in their courses, and completing all of them only requires 15 credits.

Just from the difference in this course, it can be seen that the entry threshold of "Rune Literature" is indeed very high.

Finally, Gao De chose to take two branch courses under "Magic Alchemy": "General Knowledge of Medicinal Materials" and "Magic Plant Cultivation".

This is his own interest.

The former allows him to not miss out on valuable magical plants or potion materials on earth creatures when hunting them in the wild, while the latter is where the "bloodline" is.

How could someone who comes from a flower-growing family not like “farming”!

What's more, as long as you want to make money by mixing potions, an herb garden is a must.

Correspondingly, if you want to run a herbal garden, "Magic Plant Cultivation" is a required course.

The credits for both courses are 2 points, and the course fee is 20 gold coins.

"Are you sure you want to choose so many courses?" The old man was surprised after hearing Gao De's choice.

Gao De chose a total of 8 courses, and one of them was "Symology", which was recognized as the most obscure and difficult to learn.

If he can complete all the courses and pass the assessment, he will be able to obtain a full 13 credits in his first year.

Even if we look at all the students in the past of Ceres, there are only a few who have chosen so many courses in the first year, which is enough to be called the "King of Papers".

Godard nodded slightly, "I'm sure."

In fact, he wants to take more courses.

However, he has not yet figured out the difficulty of these courses, so he is choosing them conservatively.

If the subsequent courses are completed successfully, Gaode will add additional courses.

The old man didn't say much advice, he just had to do his job well.

As for students who are "too ambitious", choose a bunch of courses, and finally lose sight of the big picture, spending a lot of time and money but still failing to pass the course assessment, it is none of his business.

Everyone is responsible for their own choices.

"The current semester of the course 'General Spell Knowledge' is full. You need to wait until the next semester starts before making your selection." The old man looked down at the course schedule and said in an orderly manner.

"Wait?!" But the next moment, he seemed to have discovered something. He suddenly looked up at Gao De and couldn't help asking, "Are you the one with the highest authority?!"

Gao De thought about it, confirmed that the so-called highest treatment should be equivalent to the highest authority, and nodded.

The old man opened his mouth and finally said, "You have the highest authority. According to the college regulations, you have priority in choosing courses."

"So, you don't have to wait until the next course starts to learn 'General Spells'. You can directly start studying this course."

"There are eight courses in total: the first phase of the course "Mage Fundamentals", the first phase of the course "Spell Application and Combat", the first phase of the course "Basic Cultural Courses", and the first phase of the course "Rune Literature," the old man made his final confirmation.

"The total course fee you need to pay is 120 gold coins." said the old man.

When he came here, Gao De had already calculated the fees he needed to pay, but when the time really came, he found that he still felt very distressed.

Gao De took out his purse, counted out 120 Sean gold coins from it reluctantly, and pushed them to the old man.

The old man took the "tuition fee" that Gao De handed in with a smile, and after operating the alchemy machine for a while, he returned Gao De's identity badge to him and said, "I've registered it for you."

"Thank you." Gode said politely, feeling heartbroken at the same time - his savings had fallen below the 100 gold coin mark.

To be more precise, it should have dropped sharply to 92 gold and 17 silver.

After choosing his classes and leaving the committee building, Gao De looked at the time and it was already past three in the afternoon.

This is obviously not the right time to report.

So, he decided to report to his mentor tomorrow.

His next destination was the training building that he had been curious about for a long time.

Coincidentally, Godd replenished 22 sets of basic magic potions on the 10nd of the Harvest Moon.

It is now the 22nd of the Dark Night Moon, and the 10 sets of basic magic potions have just been used up.

If the training room in the training building is effective, as long as it is not much worse than the basic magic potion, Gao De will prepare to move to the training room.

After all, the potion expense of 2 gold coins a day is really unaffordable for him who now needs to "pay for classes".

The training building is also an independent building.

And because it is a place for cultivation, this area is very quiet.

The training building is not far from the committee and is located right on the road between the first district and the committee.

So Gao De quickly arrived at the training building.

The appearance of the training building is extremely classical and simple.

What makes this building truly valuable is the magic node array set up beneath its base.

In front of the training building, there stood a statue of Ronan Hogg, the first dean of Ceres College.

He was a fifth-ring wizard, and was said to be infinitely close to a sixth-ring wizard, but unfortunately he failed in his promotion.

It’s around three o’clock in the afternoon, which is the class time for many students.

But even so, there are still many students coming in and out of the training building.

After all, apart from the "dormitory", the training building should be the place most frequently visited by students in the academy.

None of the students coming in and out paid much attention to Gao De.

Everyone is busy with their own things.

Gao De walked towards the training building, and saw a magic circle covering the door.

The student’s identity badge is the key to pass.

After Gao De swiped his identity badge, he entered one of the most important buildings in Seres College.

The first floor of the training building is also a hall.

The lobby is a bit deserted and has a reception counter.

Gao De walked to the counter and looked at the young lady in charge of reception.

"Hello, do you want to use the basic training room or rent an advanced training room?"

The lady, with her hair in a bun, looked at Gao De and confirmed that he was a new face. She smiled and said, "You can see the specific price and requirements here."

She pointed to the sign hanging in front of the counter.

Gao De glanced over.

"Basic training room, magic concentration 10, all formal students can use it for free."

"First-level training room, magic power concentration 46, rental fee: 10 silver/two hours, rental requirements: credits equal to or greater than 10 points."

"Second-level training room, magic power concentration 215, rental fee: 2 gold/two hours, rental requirements: credits equal to or greater than 50 points."

"Level 1000 training room, magic power concentration 10, rental fee: gold/two hours, not open to students."

The level of the training room is determined by the value of magic concentration, and the division standards strictly follow the division standards of spiritual land.

If the magic concentration in an area is greater than 10, it can be called a basic spiritual land, which is sufficient for mage apprentices to quickly improve the progress of their guidance magic practice.

A magic power concentration of 46 or greater is a first-level spiritual land, sufficient for a first-level magician to practice.

The magic concentration is equal to or greater than 215, which is a second-level spiritual land.

If the magic concentration is greater than or equal to 1000, it is a third-level spiritual land.

And so on, one to one correspondence.

The concentration of magic power in the academy's training room is just at the critical point of each level of spiritual land.

"Give me a basic training room." Gao De said.

The female receptionist with her hair in a bun flipped through the booklet in her hand and said, "Practice Room 37 on the second floor. Once you enter, swipe your identity badge to activate the magic node array."

"Thank you." Gao De nodded and went up to the second floor.

There are six floors in total in the training building. The first, second and third floors are basic training rooms, the fourth floor is the first-level training room, the fifth floor is the second-level training room, and the sixth floor is the third-level training room.

The second floor is a long and narrow corridor, with basic training rooms on both sides with closed doors. There are estimated to be sixty or seventy rooms in total.

Gao De followed the house number and found the basic training room No. 37 assigned to him. The door was open.

The practice room is very small, only three or four square meters in size.

However, the practice of mages is not like the practice of martial arts, which requires space to practice martial arts. They only need to sit cross-legged and meditate to practice the guiding method.

This area is definitely more than enough.

For a mage, the most important thing in a training environment is the concentration of magic power, not the comfort level.

Gao De walked into Training Room No. 37, closed the door, and then, as the female receptionist had instructed, swiped his identity badge on the magic circle at the door.

The next moment, the concentration of magic power in the training room began to rise slowly.

At the entrance, there is a crude alchemical item called "magic detector" that is similar to a "display screen" and displays the concentration of magic in the training room.

Gao De waited for nearly a minute and saw that the magic concentration displayed on the magic detector had increased from 2 at the beginning to 12, and finally stopped changing and stabilized.

The magic node array can control the magic concentration of each node in the array area, but some small fluctuations and errors are inevitable.

Therefore, the magic concentration of the training room marked on the sign at the reception counter is not an exact value, but an extremely conservative lower limit.

What Ceres Academy guarantees is that the concentration of magic power in the training room will never be lower than the value marked on the corresponding page.

Gao De sat cross-legged and began to practice the Apprentice Guidance Method, starting today's practice.

As soon as he entered a meditative state, he "saw" an extremely abundant amount of stardust representing magic power floating around him, emitting tiny bits of starlight and almost gathering into a ball.

With the operation of the guiding method, these stardusts that were about to gather into a group were guided into Gaode's body like a long dragon, and then slowly refined, transformed and enhanced into his own magic power.

Although the efficiency of cultivation is not as good as taking basic magic potions, it is far better than "naked cultivation".

Gao De was immediately immersed in this feeling, concentrating on practicing, unable to extricate himself.

Time passes slowly.
