Above the mage!

Chapter 185: Third-Class Mage Apprentice
Gaode's life became peaceful again.

Because he was about to make a breakthrough, Gao De, who had been the top scorer in the first academic year, did not take any elective courses in the second academic year.

This was noticed by many students.

However, given Gaode's astonishing score of 36 credits in the first academic year, no one is foolish enough to think that Gaode has run out of talent. They just think that it is the confidence of a top student and they are not in a hurry to choose courses.

Dormitory, training room, rune workshop.

This is the three points and one line of Gaode today.

He regards the promotion to ring as a "big test". The closer he gets to the test, the more he needs to relax and stay in good shape.

So Gaode didn't let himself be too tense and relaxed for a while.

During this period, he also took the time to construct the spell model of [Mechanical Switch Technique].

At this point, the number of spell libraries has reached "42".

However, after this, Gaode could no longer find a way to expand the number of spells.

After all, he already knew all the tricks available in the academy.

And in the Principality of Sean, is there any other place with a reserve of spell formulas as rich as that of the Seiris Academy?

Definitely not.

It was impossible for him to openly ask for the purchase of rare spell formulas.

The authorities have always strictly prohibited the private trading of spell formulas.

Repeat day after day.

Gaode's progress in cultivation is also improving steadily step by step.

The 6th day of the month of fog and frost.

Gao De walked out of the first-level training room.

It has been exactly 33 days since the last breakthrough.

The last small level of the guidance method was finally broken through at this moment.

This means that his mage level has reached the third-level mage apprentice.

In the 9655th year of the Nolan calendar, on the 2nd day of the Awakening month, Gode came into this world.

At that time, his meditation technique only manifested five petals, and the total amount of his magic power was only enough for him to perform five tricks in one breath.

It took 604 days for Gao De to complete the practice of both the guidance method and meditation technique.

Compared with the "time travelers" in the novels of the previous life, this speed of cultivation is indeed not very decent.

But in the Principality of Sean, this is already a top-notch wizard talent.

At least Gaode is quite satisfied with the progress.

"Are you sure you want to apply for the Spiritual Water now?"

The committee member, Rachel, looked at Godd with surprise.

If I remember correctly, Gao De had only reached the level of a second-class mage apprentice during the entrance test.

Only a year has passed and the mage level has been raised to a third-class mage apprentice?
"Yes, Commissioner Rachel, I feel I am ready. It is time to try to be promoted to a first-ring mage."

"When did you reach the rank of a third-class mage apprentice?" Commissioner Rachel couldn't help but ask.

"Just yesterday." Gao De told the truth.

Hearing this, Commissioner Rachel couldn't help but frown.

"How old are you?"

"fourteen."

"Fourteen. You are still young. There is no need to be so anxious. The golden period for becoming a first-level mage is before the age of twenty."

"You have just reached the level of a third-level mage apprentice. You should accumulate experience for a year or two before trying to advance to a first-level mage."

"Expertise has a great impact on a mage's future. You should accumulate more experience as a third-class mage apprentice for one or two years. Then, when you are promoted to a first-ring mage, you will have the opportunity to awaken more powerful expertise." Commissioner Rachel taught earnestly.

In fact, many students of Ceres Academy have reached the level of third-class mage apprentices within one or two years of entering the academy.

But most people will stay as a third-level mage apprentice for another year or two before trying to advance.

"Look at Jelica. She stayed as a third-class wizard apprentice for more than three years before being promoted to a first-level wizard." As if afraid that Gao De would not listen to her advice, Commissioner Rachel brought up Jelica as an example.

"No, Commissioner Rachel, in my opinion, a mage's practice must move forward directly. I don't want to waste too much time on the mage apprenticeship stage." Gao De insisted on doing it his own way.

Of course, the reason was that he had already accumulated enough experience before he reached the third-class mage apprentice. "Okay." Commissioner Rachel did not interfere with the students' right to make decisions. Since Gao De insisted, she would not persuade him anymore.

"But before that, I need to test your mage level first," she added.

The time when students reach the third-class wizard apprentice has always been a part of the application for spiritual water with a very large weight.

This is to prevent students from reporting early before their mage level reaches that of a third-class mage apprentice in order to pass the application for the Water of Ascension, thereby maliciously increasing their "weight".

Gao De nodded and had no objection.

"Come with me." Commissioner Rachel stood up and said.

The world of mages is not like the immortal cultivators in novels, where one can know the other party's cultivation level with just a sense of the mind.

Unless a mage is willing to cooperate with others, it is difficult for others except the mage himself to accurately know his mage level.

Even if they cooperate, some external means are still needed for testing.

Under the guidance of Commissioner Rachel, Gao De came to a quiet room.

The quiet room is not large and is empty.

However, on the ground, you can clearly see traces of complex runes.

As soon as Gao De saw it, he knew that this was a complex test magic circle.

"Go in and stand in the center."

Commissioner Rachel pointed directly to the center of the magic circle.

Gao De nodded slightly, calmed himself down, and walked in.

As Godel stood still, a slight wave of magical power immediately spread in the air.

The runes that seemed to be sleeping on the ground gradually lit up at this moment, and the light intertwined into a complex pattern, enveloping Gode completely.

The test begins.

Gao De could feel an unknown force starting from his feet, rising slowly along his body, and then stopping when it reached the center of his eyebrows.

The next moment, this force seemed to turn into fine needles, piercing fiercely towards his brows, trying to penetrate into them.

Gaode's mental strength has unconsciously formed a barrier to block this force.

"Hold on." Commissioner Rachel's voice came to his ears.

Upon hearing this, Gao De knew that this was the method of testing.

He closed his eyes tightly, concentrated his attention, and tried his best to resist the penetration of the "needle".

As time went by, the light of the magic circle became brighter and brighter, and then after reaching a peak, it completely dissipated.

Gao De slowly opened his eyes and looked at Commissioner Rachel beside him.

"If you can hold on for more than thirty seconds, it means that your mental strength has reached the level of a third-class mage apprentice."

"Next, come with me to test your magic power." Commissioner Rachel said.

The mana test is even simpler; casting twenty cantrips in one breath is enough to pass the test.

After finishing the test, the two returned to the office.

"I will help you submit the application. Considering your age and your credits and GPA in your first year, your application for the Soul-Rising Water will definitely be approved."

Commissioner Rachel took out a document and quickly filled in Gaode's information. After Gaode confirmed that it was correct, she spoke to him.

"How many days will it take for me to get the water of spiritual enlightenment?" Gao De couldn't help but ask.

"It will be out within a week. If it's fast, three days will be enough." Commissioner Rachel said conservatively.

"Thank you, Commissioner Rachel." Goder thanked.

After leaving the committee, Gao De slowly exhaled a breath.

He thought about it and headed towards Gavin Building.

He would first go and tell He Xi that he had submitted his application, and after the spiritual water came down, he would try to be promoted to a first-level wizard in the next few days.

I also took the opportunity to ask He Xi about his experience in upgrading the ring.

After all, for Gaode, promotion is still something full of unknowns.

In addition to being a third-level rune constructor, He Xi is also a third-ring magician, so he must be very experienced.
