Wizard: My career panel has no upper limit

Chapter 279 Elite Group
The classroom was filled with a special atmosphere during the last class before the festival celebrations.

Although the students remained focused on the lecture, a hint of anticipation and excitement flickered in their eyes.

The arrival of Lens Memorial Day injects a lively atmosphere into the usually rigorous academic atmosphere of the Crystal Spire.

Of course, everyone who can come here is a top student, so even with the holiday approaching, there won't be any students who can't sit still like in ordinary schools.

Ron stood on the podium, lightly tapping the crystal ball floating in front of him with his finger, and a series of complex potion recipes were projected into the air.

"Today we're discussing the multiphase potion system—a type of composite potion that can exhibit different properties in different environments."

His voice was calm yet powerful, clearly reaching every corner of the classroom:
"Unlike ordinary potions, polymorphic potions require an environmental triggering mechanism to be pre-implanted during the preparation process, so that they can automatically switch states according to external conditions."

This technology has wide applications in deep-sea exploration, dimensional travel, and research in extreme environments.

He took a delicate crystal bottle from the workbench.

The liquid inside initially appears to be a clear blue, but as the bottle is gently shaken, the liquid gradually turns into a thick purple, and then returns to its original state after standing for a while.

"This is a simplified demonstration model. A true polymorphic potion can have more than five different states, each exhibiting completely different properties."

Ron placed the crystal bottle on the specially designed magic sensor plate:
"Today, we will focus on discussing the principles of multi-phase potion preparation, stable control techniques, and practical application examples. Of course, this is just a demonstration; actual preparation requires at least the skill level of a professional potion master."

Over the next two hours, Ron explained the core concepts and construction methods of polymorphic potions in a clear and concise manner.

Instead of simply listing the recipe and steps, he focused on explaining the underlying principles and ideas.

This teaching style has long been his trademark:

It's not about teaching students "what to do," but about teaching them "why to do it" and "how to think."

"The key to the multiphase conversion mechanism lies in the pre-defined folding path of the microstructure."

As Ron explained, he drew a complex energy model in mid-air:
"It's like pre-weaving multiple possible arrangements of a liquid and then designing a specific 'switch' to trigger the conversion."

This approach applies not only to potion-making but also to bloodline manipulation and higher alchemy.

The students below the stage were completely absorbed, their pens moving rapidly across the parchment as they recorded these valuable points of knowledge and perspectives.

"Understanding the principles is more important than memorizing the steps."

Ron's voice echoed in the classroom:
"When you grasp the energy relationships between materials, you can apply what you've learned to other situations, and even find suitable substitutes when certain materials are lacking. That's the true art of potion-making."

Liz sat in the front row, her brown curly hair shimmering in the sunlight, her pen moving swiftly across the parchment, not missing a single detail.

As Ron's assistant, she could have had direct access to the lecture notes, but she insisted on personally recording every single point of knowledge.

"Remember, the greatest challenge of polymorph potions is not creating multiple states, but ensuring that each transformation is flawless."

Ron's voice carried the composure of an experienced person:

“In actual preparation, even the slightest error can cause the entire system to collapse, or worse—enter an unpredictable chaotic state.”

As his mental energy fluctuated slightly, the projection in the air transformed into a series of illustrations of failed cases.

Each possible error result and its cause analysis are presented.

"Today's assignment is to analyze this collection of multiphase transformation failure cases, identify at least three key errors, and propose feasible improvement plans."

As time drew to a close, Ron packed up the demonstration equipment and assigned homework:
"In addition, I hope everyone will use the holiday time to review the energy transformation theory we have discussed before, so as to prepare for the relevant courses after the holiday."

When the magic cursor pointed to the end time, the students began to pack up their school supplies in an orderly manner.

Some students gathered around the podium, hoping to get extra tips or advice on their assignments.

Ron answered each question patiently, his words both rigorous and encouraging.

"tutor!"

A voice came from the crowd; it belonged to a tall male apprentice:
"We heard you're going to participate in the 'Rainbow Ring' competition tomorrow, we'll all be there to cheer you on!"

"Yes, mentor! We bet you'll get a perfect gold rating!"

Another female apprentice chimed in, her voice filled with admiration.

Ron slightly raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet:
"Thank you all for your enthusiasm, but the holiday has started, so go back and get some rest. Don't forget your holiday homework; I look forward to seeing your creative ideas."

The students reluctantly left the classroom, but almost everyone offered their blessings and support to Ron before leaving.

Only Ron's "elite group" members remained.

"Mentor, all six of us will be there to cheer you on."

A thin boy with short silver hair said:
"Everyone has already agreed on the best viewing spots."

“Yes, mentor,” another pretty female apprentice replied.
"We have also prepared some special gifts, hoping to bring you good luck."

Ron looked at the six students in front of him and nodded in satisfaction.

This "elite group" of six people is one of his biggest achievements in teaching this month.

Through his "extraordinary discernment," he selected these six exceptionally talented apprentices from among hundreds of students.

Despite their different starting points, they all demonstrated potential beyond their peers and a thirst for knowledge.

"Thank you all for your support." Ron nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over each young face:

"However, what's more important than me is your progress. Everyone is working hard to learn, and that's more precious to me than any gift."

Herman, a silver-haired boy, possesses the rare second-tier "Multi-dimensional Resonance" talent, making him the strongest member of the group and also the one with the highest potion configuration.

He said excitedly:

“Mentor, based on your advice last week, I have successfully implemented the energy double cycle you taught last week, and the efficiency has increased by nearly half!”

“Well done, Herman,” Ron affirmed.
"Next week I will teach you more complex loop patterns. If you master them properly, your efficiency can be improved even further."

The other member of the elite group, the red-haired girl Lucia, is an apprentice with an extremely strong bloodline sensing talent.

She said shyly:
"Mentor, I studied the adaptation mechanism of the Abyss Mutants as you suggested and discovered some interesting patterns. I have compiled my observations into a report."

"Put it on my desk. I'll read it and correct it later, and then give you individual guidance after the next class."

Ron nodded, giving the red-haired girl an encouraging look.

Lucia's research potential on abyssal creatures even surpasses that of some advanced apprentices.

The six students took turns reporting on their progress, and Ron patiently provided feedback and new guidance.

These exceptional young people are all demonstrating amazing potential in their respective fields of expertise.

Ron, on the other hand, was like a gardener, carefully nurturing these talented seedlings.

The blessings he received from them were far purer and more powerful than those from ordinary students, and he has now accumulated them all.

After finishing his conversation with the group members, Ron signaled that they could leave:
"Alright, the holiday has begun, so go and get some rest. But don't forget the individual research tasks I assigned; I look forward to seeing your results."

After the students left one by one, only Ron and Liz, who had been waiting by the side, remained in the classroom. The girl had already begun to tidy up the various materials and tools on the demonstration table, her movements skillful and careful.

"Lise, these materials can be left for the cleaning golem to handle; you don't need to worry about these trivial matters."

Ron said this while organizing his lesson plans.

"It's alright, mentor."

Lis carefully placed the precious sample of the multi-phase potion into a specially made protective box:
"These medicines are too precious; I feel more at ease sorting them myself. Besides, isn't this part of the learning process?"

Ron nodded slightly, acknowledging the attitude of his capable assistant.

Although Liss's mental strength aptitude was not outstanding, her talent and amazing diligence in potion-making gradually made her an indispensable member of the elite team.

How's your progress lately?

As Ron put the lesson plan into his spatial bag, he casually asked a question.

Although as a mentor he knows each student’s situation, such personal communication often brings more details.

A bright smile immediately bloomed on Lis's face:
"Thanks to you! Since adjusting my mental energy circulation path according to your advice, my meditation efficiency has improved significantly. Now I can maintain a deep meditative state for up to an hour every day!"

She carefully put away the last piece of equipment, her face beaming with undisguised joy.

"Moreover, last week I successfully formulated your improved version of the 'awakening potion,' which is more effective than the standard formula and has reduced side effects by more than half."

Senior student Herman said that this level was already top-tier among his peers.

Ron nodded, somewhat relieved.

Liz's progress was indeed satisfactory, even faster than he had initially expected.

From an ordinary potion-making apprentice to now being able to independently concoct and improve potions.

This leap, achieved in just one month, is enough to prove her potential and hard work.

"Keep this up, and you'll be one step closer to becoming a professional potion master."

Ron offered affirmation, while avoiding excessive praise that could lead to complacency:
"However, there is still room for improvement in the stability of the antidote formulation process, especially under high temperature conditions."

"I noticed it too!"

Liz immediately stopped what she was doing and nodded:
"The rate at which the drug's effectiveness decreases is significantly accelerated when the temperature exceeds 37 degrees Celsius. I am trying to solve this problem by adjusting the timing of adding 'moonstone powder'."

During the conversation, the two had finished packing and left the classroom.

In the corridor, several students who had not yet left saw Ron and made way for him, with some even bowing to greet him.

"The mentor's reputation among students is growing."

After the students had gone some distance, Liz whispered:

"Everyone says that your class is one of the most popular teaching assistant courses at Crystal Spire in the last decade."

Ron smiled slightly, not reacting much to this assessment.

In his view, these superficial reputations certainly helped him gain a foothold in the school of thought.

But what truly matters are the pure blessings accumulated through teaching, and the networks built with geniuses from all walks of life.

"By the way, mentor."

Liz's voice suddenly became excited, and her pace quickened unconsciously.
"I heard you're going to participate in tomorrow's 'Rainbow Ring' competition. Senior Herman said he's going to bring his recording crystal to record the entire process of you achieving a gold rating!"

Mentioning this, the girl's cheeks flushed slightly, and her tiny freckles looked especially cute in the sunlight.

As Ron's chief assistant, she knew better than anyone the astonishing skill her young mentor possessed in the field of bloodline modulation.

Every time she saw his deep eyes and composed demeanor, she couldn't help but feel admiration, or even more complex emotions.

"Hermann is always so exaggerated."

Ron chuckled softly, interrupting Liz's reverie:
"Gold rating is extremely rare; very few players in history have been able to reach this level."

"But if anyone can do it, it has to be you!"

Liz's eyes sparkled, and her tone was filled with unwavering trust:
"The dual bloodline fusion technology you demonstrated in class last time was highly praised by the director, who said it was the most exquisite micro-manipulation he had ever seen."

Her voice gradually softened, tinged with a hint of shyness:
"We all believe that you can create miracles."

Ron glanced at her and read pure trust in her eyes.

He was all too familiar with this feeling, having experienced it himself with another student.

It is this worship and trust that constitutes the purest source of grace.

"I will do my best," he finally replied simply.

The two reached the fork in the teaching area; Liz needed to head to the apprentice dormitory area, while Ron was heading back to his own place.

See you tomorrow, mentor! The whole group will be cheering you on!

Liz concluded, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Ron nodded, watched the diligent apprentice leave, and then turned and headed home.

Training students through "elite groups" is indeed a win-win situation.

The students received better guidance and resources, while he reaped a purer and more stable flow of blessings.

This was just like the private lessons Sauron and Yuni had given him back in the Black Mist School.

Perhaps we could consider expanding this approach further and establishing small-scale, one-on-one training programs.

With these thoughts in mind, Ron entered his residence.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the crystal window, casting a patch of golden-red light on the living room floor.

He was just about to take a short nap before dinner when the doorbell rang.

That wasn't the doorbell of an ordinary visitor, but a special magical fluctuation that only triggered when there was an important notification.

He waved his hand gently, and the door opened automatically, revealing a crystal puppet about two feet tall floating outside.

The puppet is semi-transparent, with complex energy circuits inside that shimmer with a faint light, and it holds a letter sealed with silver thread in its hand.

"Honorable Ron Ralph Wizard."

The puppet's voice was crisp and mechanical, yet its pronunciation was perfect:
"The Academic Review Office has entrusted me to deliver the review notice to you."

It handed over the letter, and after Ron took it, it bowed respectfully before turning into a speck of light and disappearing into the air.

This is one of the unique communication methods of the Crystal Spire, which is more formal and ceremonial than ordinary magical communication.
