Talent level increased by one, a transcendent Star Wizard

"I'll be staying at the academy to do research recently, so I won't be coming back to live here."

Xia Jian pushed the bowl back and tentatively began to speak.

"Oh, that just so happens I haven't had time to take care of you lately."

Mu Shuang glanced at Xia Jian, then lowered her head and continued eating.

Hearing this, Xia Jian almost laughed out of anger.

Who is taking care of whom?

Don't you have any self-awareness?

Fortunately, she got the result she wanted. It seems that what Mu Shuang has to do recently must be very important, otherwise she certainly wouldn't have let herself leave like this.

Of course, it's also possible that he has absolute confidence in himself and isn't afraid of doing anything outrageous.

"Then please take good care of yourself, teacher. I have something to do, I'll come see you again in a few days."

As Xia Jian spoke, he backed away.

After leaving the cow-headed house, Xia Jian took off running, afraid that Mu Shuang would change her mind if he was even a second late.

At the window of the Bull Head Hut, Mu Shuang was already standing there, watching Xia Jian leave with a strange look in her eyes.

"It'll be soon, it should be soon, hehe..."

Seemingly thinking of something happy, Mu Shuang couldn't help but smile, and her laughter grew louder and louder, revealing the madness in her eyes.

…………

The next day.

After a good night's sleep, Xia Jian got up early in the morning.

After washing up, Xia Jian ate a simple breakfast at the cafeteria and then followed the crowd to a classroom.

The students looked surprised when they saw Xia Jian wearing a teacher's robe.

The fact that a young teacher has joined the college is now common knowledge.

If they remembered correctly, this class should have been a course on rune literature, and the academy hadn't notified them that the teacher had been changed.

Moreover, unlike anatomy, talisman literature is obscure and difficult to understand. Could this new teacher be a genius to this extent?

*cough cough*

Seeing this, Xia Jian coughed twice, and the classroom immediately quieted down.

"Don't be nervous, everyone. I'm here for rune class just like you. Just think of me as your classmate."

Runes are present throughout a wizard's life and are an indispensable part of a wizard's growth.

Compared to those who take years or even decades to become formal wizards, Xia Jian's time as a wizard is far too short.

Even with the help of the '+1' talent, it's impossible to learn everything in such a short time.

Moreover, the '+1' talent provides standard answers, but this does not mean that you can learn it just by being given the answer. Xia Jian needs to work backward from a bunch of answers to figure out the process.

For wizards, the result is important, but the process is still an essential part.

Especially since you'll need to learn about spell construction and other related knowledge later on, the '+1' talent might not be very helpful in that regard.

After hearing Xia Jian's speech, the classroom became restless.

Some people started whispering, thinking that Xia Jian had been working hard to advance his level, so he didn't know much about some basic knowledge.

Some people, however, had shifty eyes and began to think about how to use this opportunity to build good relationships during the summer.

Runecraft is extremely difficult to learn, so it's not the first choice for apprentices. The most important thing is to strive to become a wizard, so there aren't many people in the classroom.

However, as news of the arrival of summer spread, a large number of students began to flock to the Fu Literature classroom.

After all, opportunities to learn alongside a formal wizard are rare, and many people would come to join in the fun even if they had no ulterior motives.

Xia Jian hadn't expected things to turn out this way, but the learning atmosphere was quite good.

Compared to the misery of his previous life, he now appears much more composed, because he is, after all, a teacher, and he views things more from the perspective of an observer.

…………

Not long after, a person dressed in the same clothes as Xia Jian walked in.

Bro immediately spotted Natsumi surrounded by students, his heart skipped a beat, and his face fell instantly.

I know you're powerful, but you don't have to keep chasing me down to kill me.

If things continue like this, Natsume won't even need to lift a finger; he'll be scared to death.

Furthermore, Xia Jian's concealment technique is ridiculously powerful; I can't sense his presence at all. What if he tries to assassinate me?

Bro immediately took a step back, wanting to escape this place of trouble.

But just as he was about to leave, he heard Xia Jian's voice.

"If you dare to leave, I'll have my teacher go find your uncle when I get back."

After hesitating for a while while listening to Natsume's threatening words, Bro gritted his teeth and walked back to the podium.

His uncle is the backbone of the entire family. If something happens to this uncle, even if it's just to curry favor with Xiang Mushuang, many people would probably take the initiative to help him disappear.

"Alright, let's start our rune lesson."

Bro's gaze swept over Natsumi, and he kept telling himself that he didn't see her.

…………

Although Bro's character is questionable, his knowledge of runic literature is extremely solid.

While other students were still frowning and looking worried, Xia Jian was a completely different story.

Even with the help of the '+1' talent, Xia Jian was still able to gain a lot of inspiration, which allowed him to quickly improve his learning progress in rune literature.

It was as if he had been immersed in an ocean of runes, and all sorts of knowledge about runes quickly flooded his mind, making Xia Jian feel completely absorbed in it.

Unfortunately, time flew by, and two hours passed quickly.

Summer was still not satisfied and began to consider whether to threaten Bro and make him work 32 days a month.

After all, wizards get enough rest at night, so teaching for half a year shouldn't be a problem.

Just as Bro felt a chill run down his spine and was about to pack up and leave, he seemed to remember something and looked past Natsumi toward a student at the very back.

"Dud, your teacher wants you to come over."

The student who was called stood up and replied, "Yes, teacher, I'll go in a bit."

Xia Jian, who was in the front row, paused for a moment when he heard the name and unconsciously turned his head to look at the student.

Dodd looked to be under twenty years old. Although he had fair skin, he was of Asian descent with black eyes and black hair, and he was quite handsome.

Images from the past kept replaying in Xia Jian's mind, eventually settling on an oil painting of a couple standing together.

They really look alike...

Xia Jian fell silent for a moment.

"Teacher, is there a problem?"

Seeing Xia Jian staring at him, Dude awkwardly touched his cheek.

"Come out for a moment, I have something I want to ask you."

Coming to his senses, Xia Jian stood up and said to Du De.

Even though I already had the answer in my mind, necessary checks were still required, after all, the world is full of wonders.
