Above the mage!

Chapter 143 Frost Gold Moon
This time, Gaode chose [Hand of the Mage].

The reason is very simple. [Hand of the Mage] is a very commonly used trick for mages, and it can be used all the way.

So, even if it is not lethal, it is worth it.

As for the remaining [Scorpion] origin, Gaode decided to keep it for now.

For the sake of "super expertise", he will have to learn a lot of spells in the future, so it is better to save them for the rare spells.

For example, the [Insect Spawn] that is about to be obtained.

Very reasonable idea.

Frost Gold 1th.

Open enrollment day for Sirius College.

This is also one of the busiest days of the year in the college.

Not only the college, but the city of Saint Sean has also become unusually lively because of the enrollment of Ceres College.

However, this kind of excitement has nothing to do with Gaode.

He doesn't care either.

In comparison, Gaode was more concerned about the five level-0 basic runes he had to master today, and even more concerned about the little poisonous insects in the breeding room.

After all, it was about his salary.

Thinking of this, Gaode had already opened the handwritten materials he needed to study today.

Then, for the first time in his "long" nine-day career as a runeologist, Gaode encountered a dilemma.

He thought for a long time, and finally moved away from the workbench, walked towards the small room with the closed door, and then gently knocked on the door for the first time.

"I've been waiting for you to come find me." The door opened automatically under the effect of the rune.

Hossi O'Kenley, who was well prepared, smiled at Gao De who was standing at the door and said, "To learn runes well, you need to study hard and ask questions. Both are indispensable."

Gao De was too embarrassed to explain to He Xi. It was not that he was embarrassed to ask, but that he had completely understood the information from the past few days and there was nothing he needed to ask.

But this answer seems a bit too immodest, and it refutes He Xi, which is not good anyway.

Gao De never believed in authority, but that did not affect his respect for teachers.

So his choice was to smile awkwardly.

This was the first time Gaode met his mentor.

It was also the first time that He Xi met his students.

Both of them were sizing each other up.

He Xi fits Gao De's impression of a senior tutor - referring to those highly respected tutors with the title of professor in the university in his previous life.

There are fine lines left by time on the old face, but there is a pair of eyes that are not cloudy and extremely deep.

It is like a reef in the sea, beaten by wind and waves, but still standing steadily.

On the table in front of He Xi, there were piles of straw papers and rune diagrams. It seemed that he had been doing some experiments in the room these days.

And Gao De also fits He Xi's impression of him.

Silent and calm, it looks ordinary but is actually very durable.

Like a stone in a toilet.

In fact, He Xi had long wanted to meet this student of his who had infinite talent in the field of runes.

However, due to his initial actions, the way the two of them got along continued in this strange way with each other separated by a door.

He Xi felt that as a mentor, no matter from what perspective, it should be Gao De who took the initiative to meet him.

Gao De felt that since He Xi chose this way of communication and teaching, it showed that he was busy and did not want to be disturbed, so Gao De chose not to disturb He Xi as much as possible.

Both of them were extremely sure of their judgment.

He Xi, who had been waiting for Gao De to come and see him, started to compete with Gao De.

He is a humble person, but that doesn't mean he doesn't care about his reputation.

Sometimes he even has a childish temper.

But it’s not good to delay it too long.

Because classes are about to start.

Therefore, in order to get Gao De to come to him, He Xi "very meanly" added "a little bit" of the second stage of the Rune Learning course to Gao De's materials today. The effect was outstanding.

After a long silence, Gao De said respectfully: "Teacher, I have a question about today's information."

He Xi hummed expressionlessly.

"You chose to take the elective course 'Character Literature'?" He Xi did not answer Gao De's question immediately, but asked this.

Gao De was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, the class is about to start."

"You don't have to take this class." He Xi said calmly.

"Ah?" Gao De didn't react.

"Berg's teaching method is not suitable for you, and he can't teach you."

Berg is the instructor of the first phase of the "Runes" course.

There was some hesitation and confusion in Gao De's expression.

"Just follow me and I've applied for exemption for you. You just need to take the final assessment. If you pass, you can get credits for the course."

He Xi looked at Gao De calmly, his deep eyes seemed to be able to see through Gao De's thoughts.

Sure enough, after He Xi said this, the hesitation and entanglement in Gao De's expression disappeared instantly.

He nodded, "I understand, mentor."

"Also, don't tell anyone about your progress in rune studies," He Xi added. "If anyone asks you, just tell them that I told you not to tell anyone."

Gao De frowned slightly. This was a very strange request.

But he could vaguely sense that He Xi seemed to be doing this for his own good?

But no matter what the purpose of He Xi's request was, it would not cause any loss of interests to him, so Gao De nodded and agreed to He Xi's request.

Looking at the young Gao De, He Xi thought of himself many years ago.

Having outstanding talents is a good thing, but if the talents are too outstanding and there is no power to match them, it will turn into a disaster.

This is the insight he gained through personal experience.

What's more, Gao De's talent is far more outstanding than his own.

"As for the question you just asked." He Xi tapped the table with his old fingers and gave a concise and clear answer to the question raised by Gao De.

When leaving Gavin Building, Gao De was in a very good mood.

He finally met his mentor today.

Moreover, this tutor seemed very kind, giving him a sense of intimacy that he could only feel from the respected old professors in his previous life - this was a rare thing in this world.

Although Gaode didn't know where this sense of intimacy came from.

In fact, all of this can be well explained by a famous saying in another field: "Only technology can get close to technology."

Of course, Gaode does not realize this is the reason now.

Because in his opinion, no matter from which angle you look at it, as a beginner in runes, there is no way he can be considered to be "close to technology in technology" with a senior rune instructor.

Gaode is not concerned with the college's enrollment.

But while having dinner in the restaurant that evening, he inevitably heard some news about the admissions day.

For example, this year, Seres College enrolled a total of twenty-one mages, which is the largest number of new students in the past five years.

Among these twenty-one freshmen, there is even a 14-year-old first-ring wizard.

It is actually extremely difficult to reach the third-level mage apprentice at this age.

Not to mention, this person successfully advanced to a 1st-level wizard without taking any magic potion to level up.

The wizard's high talent is undoubtedly demonstrated.

What's even more exaggerated is that it is said that this person's awakened expertise is an extremely powerful metamagic expertise.

Therefore, although he has not yet become a formal student of the academy, he has already been reserved as a student by the head of the magic department.
Gao De heard the name of this new student from the discussions of others: Youlan.

The time came to the 2nd day of Frostgold Moon.

Among the eight elective courses offered by Gaode this year, one finally started today.

"Nolan's Continental Geography and the Geography of War".
