Above the mage!

Chapter 171 Reconstructing the System
Half a year has passed, and the level of this batch of new students at AutoNavi has basically become clear at a glance, and we can get a glimpse of the whole picture without having to wait until the end of the school year.

Although most of the students at Seris Academy are wizard geniuses who have passed rigorous examinations, there are still gaps between geniuses.

Gao De, a wild mage from the Bremen area, did not participate in the admission examination, entered the academy through a letter of recommendation and enjoyed the highest treatment in the academy.

In the eyes of many people, he should be the last one among this batch of new students, struggling for those 10 credits every year.

But no one would have thought that such a character who was not favored by everyone would make a name for himself.

First, he made a big splash in the admissions task, breaking the record left by Dean Gavin.

Later, in the assessments of the elective courses, he obtained first place in all of them except "Magic Ink Extraction and Production", and even finished with full marks in many courses.

As a result, although the mage genius Gao De was not yet eligible, his reputation as a learning genius was known throughout the entire academy.

Even among the tutors, he has some fame.

Some tutors were there just to watch the fun, but more tutors had this idea: When will this learning genius choose my course? Let me see how capable he is and whether he is as capable as the rumors say.

In addition to Gao De, there are two other freshmen who have demonstrated abilities and talents beyond those of ordinary students.

The most famous one is definitely Youlan, who is known as the "magic genius" and is recognized as the leader of this batch of freshmen at Gaode.

The second is Jelica Haines. This rich girl may look inconspicuous, but she is actually a tough character.

When she was thirteen years old, her mage level had reached that of a third-class mage apprentice.

In order to awaken a more powerful expertise, Jelica deliberately stayed at the third-class mage apprentice level for such a long time. No one knew how much foundation she had accumulated.

In any case, in the eyes of many people, once Jelica is promoted to a first-ring mage, she will catch up with and surpass Yulan, who is one step ahead, in a short period of time.

In addition, due to her favorable family background, Jelica has a high level of knowledge. Although she is not as good as Gao De in terms of course learning, she is ranked second among the freshmen of this year.

Yulan, Jelica and Goder were listed together by the gossipers in the academy and were called the three great geniuses of the 9655th freshman class of Ceres Academy.

Although there are only about 30 freshmen in a class.

Although Gao De didn't care about this, he didn't resist it either.

In "school", being called a genius definitely has more advantages than disadvantages, there is no doubt about that.

Most of the courses I studied at Gaode were electives based on my own needs, and I usually just took a quick look.

The only course that I studied in depth and never interrupted was "Runes".

However, after studying Runeology for such a long time, the only rune master Gao De had come into contact with from beginning to end was He Xi.

After He Xi applied for exemption from the "Character Literature" course for him, he became even more "isolated from the world".

So, actually, up to now, Gao De has no idea how far he has progressed in the study of runes.

He could only vaguely sense that he should have surpassed the content of the first stage of the "Rune Literature" course, but he didn't know to which stage.

However, Gaode doesn't care too much about these.

Because no matter which stage you are in, you are actually just a beginner in the study of runes.

The road of runeology is really too long.

After submitting the composite rune diagram designed according to He Xi's request yesterday, Gaode received "criticism" from He Xi for the first time:
"You focus too much on the efficiency of compound runes. It is important, but not the most important."

"Compound rune design is only the initial stage of a magic circle design. If you focus too much on high efficiency in this initial stage and optimize it too early, it will affect the possibility of combining magic circles later."

"At the beginning, we should pay more attention to the feasibility and compatibility of composite runes."

"It's not that high efficiency is wrong, but we need to take into account the actual situation and find a balance, and appropriately sacrifice some efficiency for the sake of other capabilities."

After thinking for a long time, Gao De came back to his senses after a while and said respectfully: "I understand."

He Xi nodded slightly.

He knew that Gao De's answer was after careful consideration and he really understood.

Instead of just responding with "I understand" just to deal with him, "Take it back first, revise it and give it back to me tomorrow."

He handed the composite rune diagram that Gao De had handed over to him, then said "hmm", took out another piece of parchment and handed it to Gao De:

"This is the task assigned to you today."

Goder silently took the rune diagram and the parchment with "title" written on it and left the rune workshop.

Go back to Building 30 in Area .

Before going upstairs to "solve the problem", Gaode went to the kitchen as usual to perform [Water Making Technique +] and conduct the "first draw of the day".

Still honey water.

Even though Gao De was a calm person, he couldn't help frowning.

Since the last time I "drew" leak-free water, in such a long time, nothing other than honey water has come out.

This made Gao De wonder if he had Mercury retrograde in the new year, as his luck was so bad.

After Gao De left, He Xi also returned to his little room.

The draft on the table is two steps taller than before.

After months of continuous experiments and calculations, he had gradually gained some clues and had gotten a glimpse of the "interference constant".

"It has to be faster," he murmured, and then he unconsciously thought of Godel who proposed the "interference constant".

He Xi is the person who knows Gao De's abilities best in Ceres Academy.

He knew clearly that compared to the title of "learning genius" that made Gao De famous, the "Rune Genius" that only he knew about was the most commendable thing about Gao De.

The level of this "Rune genius" is even enough to crush Yulan's "Mage genius".

After all, in his life before coming to the Principality of Sean, He Xi had actually seen many "magic geniuses" who were stronger than Yulan.

But he had never seen a "Rune Genius" stronger than Gao Deqiang.

In fact, there is no one who can compare with Gaode.

"In fact, with his current level of knowledge in runes, he can already start designing magic circles." Jose O'Kenley said to himself.

"But under the current rune system, only a 1st level magician can construct a 1st level magic circle."

There is no such thing as a 0th-order magic circle.

"My skill level is high enough, but my mage level is not high enough, so I can only use compound runes...

"Like many rune masters, whose attainments in runeology have reached the next level, they are restricted by their mage level and cannot construct the next level of magic array."

Among the hundred arts of a mage, only runes have the most strict levels.

For example, a potion master, even a wizard apprentice, can mix a first-level potion, and the same is true for other professions.

But in the world of rune masters, low-level mages are absolutely unable to construct high-level magic circles.

This is also the biggest shackle restricting the development of rune literature.

A high-level mage is a low-probability event, and being proficient in runes is also a low-probability event. There is no need to say more about the probability of having both.

If a "discipline" wants to develop, there must be a sufficient number of "big cows" to pave the way.

The old man sighed, but his eyes gradually lit up:
"As long as we can deduce the interference constant, we can change this situation!"

This is truly an incredible thing.

Nowadays, the Holy Empire, the Plantagenet Dynasty, Linhai City, and even countless powerful mage forces are all working hard to train a high-level rune master.

Who would have thought that in the Royal Academy of an inconspicuous small principality, there was an old man who was ignored and even excluded from the center of power by the academy, a third-level rune master in a broad sense, who was trying to reconstruct the rune system.
