Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

Mutual aid societies? That's a joke.

Nowadays, many apprentices within the academy have established organizations, but most of these organizations are for the purpose of better plundering.

Such "mutual aid societies" are destined to be short-lived.

In this cutthroat academy, everyone has their own agenda, calculating their own interests.

Although mutual aid societies claim to stand together through thick and thin, most members still tend to prioritize self-preservation when conflicts arise.

After all, going against senior students requires careful consideration of whether one's small frame can withstand the consequences.

Are they truly willing to stand up for other members of the "mutual aid society"?

In the tower of bones, only one's own strength is the eternal truth.

...

When Kevin returned to his dorm, he was already meditating inside.

After attending the general education course, he visited his advisor, but the advisor was too busy to pay him any attention, and Kevin had to leave disappointed.

After all, wizards' time is precious, and it's hard to get them to care about you without a sufficient "price".

Without contribution points or magic stones to aid him, Kevin could only devote all his time to meditation, hoping to lay a solid foundation during these three months and overcome the "three life-or-death challenges".

The Basic Meditation Method is much simpler to learn than Lynn's Whispering of the Soul Meditation Method, but the meditation effect is far inferior.

After all, it's just the simplest introductory meditation method, so the effect is naturally less than satisfactory.

However, basic meditation is also the safest and most stable method, and it does not conflict with other meditation methods at all.

If a suitable meditation method comes along in the future, it can be directly replaced.

Kevin listened to a lecture today on meditation and focusing the mind, and gained a lot of new insights. He rushed back to his dorm to try it out without even eating.

Sure enough, the meditation was much more effective this time, and it was able to retain some of the negative energy particles in my mind.

This restored his confidence, and he planned to meditate more tonight while he felt aroused, to accumulate energy.

Lynn didn't disturb Kevin and started eating her dinner by herself.

White bread is much softer than black bread, and it tastes delicious when dipped in the broth from the potato stew.

Actually, white bread is more suitable for dipping in sweet cream soup, but Lynn always felt it was a bit strange to have a sweet main course for dinner.

After dinner, Lynn took a relaxing hot bath to wash away the day's fatigue.

After washing up, I changed into a soft bathrobe, spread a thick quilt on the stone bed, and then sat cross-legged on the stone bed to enter a meditative state.

These items were redeemed with contribution points upon returning. Just a little bit is enough to improve one's quality of life and lift one's spirits, so it's quite a good deal.

I'm short a few contribution points, so I won't have enough for my living expenses this month. It seems I need to find a way to earn some more.

When Lynn entered a meditative state, Kevin broke down again.

The negative energy particles he had painstakingly drawn in were sucked away by a sudden vortex before they even entered his sea of ​​consciousness.

This predatory meditation method monopolized most of the negative energy particles in the vicinity, leaving only a small number that were close to Kevin's body to survive.

This greatly reduced the effectiveness of Kevin's meditation, forcing him to open his eyes.

Although new negative energy particles kept flooding in, Kevin was no match for Lynn.

He wanted to say something to remind him, but in the end he couldn't bring himself to speak.

We can't expect Lynn to narrow the scope of her meditation and reduce its effectiveness, can we?

We're all freshmen, here to become stronger and become official wizards. Why should we cater to you?

Although Lynn was in meditation, she noticed that she was drawing in and absorbing the negative energy particles around Kevin.

Because of his extremely wide range of influence and immense attractiveness, Kevin simply couldn't compete with him.

But Lynn did not back down.

Cultivation is inherently a life-or-death competitive path; the strong remain strong, while the weak are gradually eliminated.

Seeing that Lynn showed no sign of backing down, Kevin had no choice but to hide in a corner and try to stay as far away from Lynn as possible.

Sitting cross-legged on the hard stone floor, Kevin entered a meditative state once again.

The impact here is less severe, but it has not yet returned to its original state.

Kevin could only meditate while silently cursing Lynn in his heart, his dissatisfaction gradually building up.

...

The next morning, Lynn, who was in high spirits, noticed that Kevin was not in good spirits.

Kevin spent the entire night trying to draw in negative energy particles, which took a lot of his time and energy, so he was naturally not in good spirits.

Lynn gave a brief greeting, and Kevin managed a weak smile in response.

But in his heart, he was thinking about how to get rid of this plague.

If this continues, Kevin's own cultivation will be severely affected, and condensing his spiritual core within three months will be nothing short of a pipe dream.

Breakfast consisted of a simple white bread with ham, a fried egg, and a cup of oatmeal.

The porridge here isn't simply made by adding wheat; it's cooked with salt, onions, cabbage, and other ingredients.

Hmm... Compared to plain wheat porridge, it has a richer flavor.

In the morning, I still went to the lab to report first.

After yesterday's tidying up, the messy laboratory now appears orderly, and Gregor is staring blankly at a bone plate.

There were still a few small nodes that he couldn't break through, leaving him at a loss for where to start.

Lynn glanced at the bone plate, scanned it to memorize these nodes, and prepared to analyze them later.

Seeing that his supervisor was too busy to pay attention to him, Lynn tidied up the dishes he had messed up and left the lab.

He doesn't have much need for the lab right now, as he's still in the learning phase. The library alone is enough to keep him busy for a while. Only with sufficient knowledge can he participate in research experiments.

The most important thing right now is to accumulate knowledge, improve mental strength and personal level, and then learn more witchcraft.

As usual, I went to the library and did some browsing.

Lynn had originally hoped to discover some hidden knowledge or powerful sorcery that only he could cultivate on the first floor, but after scanning around, he only found basic knowledge.

For the next week, Lynn focused her attention on the library and spent her evenings meditating and practicing in her dorm room.

After being "bullied" for several days, Kevin finally couldn't take it anymore. After rehearsing his words in his mind, he protested to Lynn.

"Lynn, I'm currently in a crucial period of meditation. Could you please limit the scope of your meditation until I've passed this stage..."

Lynn's response was also extremely simple.

"oh."

A single, simple word silenced Kevin, nearly causing him to suffer internal injuries from holding it in.

But seeing Lynn's response, Kevin felt much better. He thought Lynn would probably restrain himself... right?

Despite responding, Lynn continued to do as she pleased, showing no restraint whatsoever.

You can't get the negative energy particles yourself, is that my fault?

Why should I accommodate you when we're under the same roof? If you can't stand it, you can leave.

Seeing that Lynn hadn't changed at all, Kevin could only run outside with a livid face and spend the night at the door.

Yeah, I'm just making myself angry.
