Clinging to the Witcher world to become a god of martial arts

Chapter 207 New Members of the Academic School

"Mentor Victor?" Sadiq paused for a moment, feeling that the scene before him was somewhat familiar, and vaguely remembered how he had taken Victor as his mentor.

Thanks to the pure negative energy in the Life Box, the Black Sun Spell concept made great progress and established a basic model, which quickly attracted Victor's attention from the academic community.

Upon seeing the potential hidden within the Black Sun spell model, he quickly became a student and exclaimed that it was a gift from heaven.

And the current situation...

"Mentor, you mean...?"

Victor's maniacal laughter echoed in the laboratory, as if he had discovered something extremely rare, his murky black eyes gleaming with a sharp light.

His mind was teetering on the edge of madness again. He quickly scanned Lorne, "Lorne, an academic genius. His vocabulary is rough, but his meaning is clear!"

Dynamic equilibrium...stability amidst conflict...contradicts the existing energy stability framework of the Black Tower school of thought, yet it has been truly achieved.

Victor waved his arms excitedly, and the surrounding instruments seemed to hum in response to the fluctuations in his mental energy.

Sadiq hesitated for a moment. The dynamic equilibrium proposed by Lorne could not possibly be the research result of other academic wizards in the Black Tower; it was a completely new direction.

The theories and practices presented were incredibly impressive, but what surprised him even more was the change in Victor's mentor's attitude.

As expected, this former neighbor seems poised to become my fellow disciple.

Just as he had expected, Victor suddenly turned around. "Sadiq, with Lorne's help from now on, you two will definitely become my most beneficial students!"

"The model of dynamic energy balance is real! It does not rely on luck or external factors, but is based on a profound understanding of the nature of one's own energy!"

"This is a completely new and feasible idea for a balancing model, although it is still very primitive, with only a rough framework and is not yet mature."

"However, I have a feeling that the academic principles uncovered through in-depth research will be enough to overturn many traditional perceptions!"

'

He looked at Lorne again, his tone more solemn than ever before: "Lorne Holt, I, Victor Hermes, a three-star mentor of the Black Tower academic faction, formally invite you to become my student and join my research team. This is not for fame, but for genuine participation in research!"

Sadiq was not surprised by this scene; Victor's invitation after valuing him had been far more enthusiastic.

Perhaps he had found an opportunity to solve the Black Sun's erosion, and he could sense that his mentor valued the potential of the handsome young man before him.

Victor had quite a few students, numbering in the double digits, but only a few actually stayed on, about four or five including himself.

Once a mentor sees that an apprentice has a certain academic talent, he will extend an olive branch, provided that the apprentice is impressive enough to impress the mentor.

Recruiting a wide range of students is also a form of investment for academic wizards.

However, if these so-called "students" fail to demonstrate relevant abilities and growth potential, they will be kicked out.

Students of Samsung mentors are at best outstanding talents in academic research, but that doesn't represent anything special.

Lorne was slightly taken aback. Becoming Victor's student was not his original intention; his initial goal was simply to reveal relevant information.

Once Victor has fully completed the energy balance model, he can abandon the idea of ​​dissecting himself and ensure his safety.

Another point is to seek further solutions. Academic mentors are certainly far more capable than oneself and can quickly find ways to resolve the conflict of constitutions.

Unexpectedly, his actions, which explained his understanding of the balance of Yin and Yang, directly attracted Victor's desire to take him on as a disciple.

Lorne was well aware of the significance of becoming a student of a Samsung academic mentor.

This means resources, protection, and shortcuts to acquiring higher levels of knowledge, especially since he will be facing the Battle of the Prodigies in a month.

Cologne's investment is not simply a matter of goodwill, but a gamble. The benefits he is currently receiving from this law enforcement minister come at a price.

That means he must win first place in the Heavenly Pride Battle a month later to prove his worth to Cologne.

But who can be sure of the final outcome?

If one of the apprentices is an exceptionally talented genius who can acquire the strength of a formal wizard during the apprenticeship period, then I will be defeated by him.

Once stripped of his official wizard status, he would lose his usefulness to Cologne, and his situation would plummet into the abyss.

We can't put all our hopes on the battle of prodigies, and luckily Victor offered to become his student—

Even if I lose in the Heavenly Pride Battle, gaining the status of a three-star mentor's student means that with this academic connection, I at least still have a chance...

After thinking for a moment, Lorne bowed slightly and said, "I accept, Mentor Victor."

"Good! Very good!" A smile bloomed on Victor's aged face. This time, he was less manic, but he still looked very strange.

Lorne's thoughts were very calm. The identity of a three-star mentor-student naturally did not only mean benefits, but also came with shackles.

"Professor Victor, what do I need to do to become your student? And what will I gain?"

The blunt words did not offend Victor. That's how wizards are; they weigh the pros and cons, which is not strange.

"What you need to do is very simple. For now, you only need to perfect this dynamic energy balance model." After calming down slightly, Victor pointed to the Tai Chi diagram on the mental energy retention board: "Transforming it from an image, a vague concept, into a precise model that can be quantified, replicated, and promoted will be your first research topic."

This requirement doesn't seem too difficult, since the dynamic balance is maintained within Lorne's body, and relevant data can be collected and deduced at any time.

But after all, Lorne was only a third-level apprentice, and had only been with the Black Tower for less than half a year, and had never been exposed to academic theories.

Victor had naturally taken this into account. "You need to follow Sadiq and systematically learn wizarding knowledge, especially energy science, rune design, and model building, to make up for any deficiencies in your basic theory."

"As for what you can get..."

He paused, a hint of arrogance on his face: "All my knowledge repositories are open to you, second only to Sadiq. Laboratory resources will also be available for your use within reasonable limits."

"It will also guide your academic research and provide you with extensive privileges within the Black Tower, including corresponding cultivation resources and spell models."

"I believe that as the dynamic energy balance model is perfected, it will definitely cause a stir in the Black Tower, including the birth of new magical properties!"
