Above the mage!

Chapter 163 You Lan
Gao De thought that taking sixteen courses at once seemed a bit shocking.

But he did it anyway.

First, what was exposed by this incident itself would not attract the covetousness of others.

If the mage's level increases too quickly, so quickly that it is unreasonable and untraceable, then you have to be concerned.

Because there will always be people who think that he might have obtained some treasure or secret method of cultivation, and will try every possible way to coerce or bribe him to get it out of him.

But what he showed was just a "learning ability" that was so strong that it was beyond common sense, so that's no big deal.

Learning ability is something that cannot be traced or explained.

Others can do nothing except envy or jealousy.

The second is that the rule of Seres College is clearly "credits are king".

He now has the ability to obtain more credits, but he doesn't use them in order to bide his time. Isn't that a fool?

Moreover, creating a "genius" character can also bring convenience in many aspects.

There are definitely some disadvantages, but overall, the benefits definitely far outweigh the disadvantages.

The most important thing is that even if we don’t consider the pros and cons, Gaode would do so according to his personality.

In his previous life, he was a "top student" from childhood to adulthood.

However, the speed with which the selection of 16 courses at one time caused such a stir was beyond Gaode's expectations.

Moreover, Gaode did not expect the first person to make trouble.

"Don't you still have eight courses to complete? Why did you choose eight more? Are you crazy?"

"No matter how talented you are, you can't squeeze yourself like this, or you'll end up losing more than you gain."

As soon as he arrived at the Rune Workshop, Gao De was faced with the "questioning" of He Xi who had been waiting for a long time.

As the head of the Rune Department, even if Hossi O'Kenley was marginalized, he still had this source of information.

"The workload of these courses is not enough to drain my energy."

Facing He Xi, Gao De had no choice but to make up an excuse, "Among the eight courses I chose, except for the rune course that I found a little bit strenuous, the other courses were very easy for me and did not require any effort at all."

"I also took classes for two months, got familiar with the situation, and confirmed that I had enough time to learn, before I chose eight new courses to study."

Gao De's words seem to be a lot, but in fact, they can be translated into just five words: "I am gifted."

But the person in the entire academy who knew Gao De’s talent best was He Xi.

He recalled Gao De's talent in runes, and ultimately was unable to refute Gao De's "extraordinary talent".

If Gao De's talent in learning other courses is as good as that in runes, then even if there are dozens of courses, it will not be too stressful for Gao De.

After all, Gao De's current study of runes is already more than ten times that of mage students of the same level.

"Then you should manage it yourself and don't delay your study of runes. The knowledge from other courses is not without value, but it still falls short compared to runes." He Xi said helplessly.

He is actually very "indulgent" towards Gaode and basically does not interfere with any of Gaode's ideas.

Because He Xi understood that with Gao De's talent in runes, setting too many rules for him and arranging a rigid route for him would actually restrict his growth.

The news of the sixteen courses offered by fellow practitioners has only been circulated in a small circle for the time being and has not yet reached the ears of the students.

But it's only a matter of time.

But Gaode doesn't care about these.

Just get attention if you want.

This is just the right time to let these students feel what the pressure of being a "nerd" is like.

Frozen Moon, 1st.

Two of the eight new elective courses offered by Gaode start today.

"Magical Medicine" in the morning and "Pharmacological Research" in the afternoon.

These are all courses that Gaode is very interested in.

Magical medicine is a course that combines theory and practice.

The pharmacology research course is mainly based on theoretical knowledge, which is also the type of course that Gaode is best at.

In the "flow" state blessed by [Divine Guidance +], even the most obscure theoretical knowledge will become simple, clear and understandable.

In the afternoon, pharmacology research class was taught in the classroom.

The huge room was filled with more than thirty students.

"Pharmacological Research" is a required branch course of "Potion Science", and "Potion Science" has always been the most popular magical skill, so it is not surprising that there are so many people taking it.

"Everyone, I am the instructor of your pharmacology research course." A middle-aged wizard with a square face and a long beard stood on the podium and introduced himself to all the students in a calm tone.

However, Gao De was not interested in this at the moment.

He had felt like he was being pricked by a thorn since he entered the classroom.

It was as if someone in the classroom was staring at him. He had been looking for the source of this feeling for a long time, and now he finally found it.

He was a short, very dark and thin boy sitting in the corner.

Gao De didn't know him, but for some reason, this person kept paying attention to him.

Gao De seized the opportunity and when the short student looked at him again, he turned around and made eye contact with him.

Generally speaking, in this situation, the other party should avoid looking at you out of guilt.

Unexpectedly, this short student did not avoid it at all and stared straight at Gao De.

Gao De saw a strong sense of provocation in the other person's eyes.

But it is not so extreme as to be provocative.

Perhaps a declaration of war would be more appropriate?

Who is this person?

Gao De frowned slightly, not being able to figure it out, and finally withdrew his attention.

It is important to attend classes.

The "flow" state of [Divine Guidance +] can indeed allow him to learn at an incredible speed.

But the prerequisite is that he listens to the lectures carefully and masters the basic knowledge.

If you don't hear anything and your mind is empty, what's the point of having an active thinking?

After the two-hour pharmacology research class, Gao De stood up and prepared to leave.

However, he didn't expect that the short boy did not give up. He stood up and blocked Gao De's way.

This action immediately attracted the attention of other students in the classroom.

It seems that everyone is very concerned about the short boy.

"God." The short boy stood in front of God.

"Who are you?" Goder frowned.

"Don't pretend, there's no way you don't know me." The short student raised his neck high.

Who is this person? Gao De asked helplessly: "Are you famous?"

The short student was silent for a moment, seemingly not knowing how to respond.

It’s a bit shameful to admit that I’m famous, but it feels wrong not to admit it.

He thought about it and finally decided to introduce himself, "My name is You Lan."

When Gao De heard the name, it sounded a little familiar. He thought about it carefully and finally remembered who it was.

It’s the 14-year-old 1st-level wizard genius.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Gao De asked seriously.

He didn't care how talented Youlan was. Besides, no matter how talented he was, he couldn't be fired!
"My mentor originally told me to spend as much time and energy as possible on learning spells." Yulan's mentor is the head of the magic department, so it's not surprising that he would give such advice.

"So I was originally planning to concentrate on studying magic in my first year, and I didn't want much for this first place in freshman credits."

"I am already a first-level wizard. I don't need the Water of Ascension anymore. It's okay to give it to you. Just think of it as promoting your style."

"But." You Lan paused and said suddenly: "I heard from Sadie that you said you wanted to surpass me in credits."

"If you say so, I'm not going to give in."

"I will give you the first place in freshman credits. You can't take it away from me," You Lan said emphatically, "If you change your mind now, I can still give you a chance."

Is this excessive self-esteem? Gaode is helpless.

He had met people with this kind of personality in his previous life. They came from poor families but had good grades, so they were arrogant and had low self-esteem.

Precisely because the only thing they can show off is their own "achievements", they attach great importance to the false reputation of "achievements".

"Oh, I see." Gao De nodded and responded.

"Credits come first, and everyone depends on their own ability. There is no need to give in." He said seriously.

Compared to Youlan's aggressiveness, Gaode seemed too calm.

This comparison clearly shows who is good and who is bad.

You Lan obviously noticed this, and the other students' watching eyes made You Lan, who had a high opinion of herself, blush.

"I heard from my instructor that you took 16 courses in one go in order to surpass me in credits."

In shame and anger, You Lan gritted her teeth and said, "But you can't just take the college courses and get credits. You have to pass the assessment."

"There's no way you can finish all sixteen courses!"

"It's impossible for you to surpass me in credits!"
