Chapter 11 Meditation Methods (Please continue reading)

So, after a moment's thought, Richard made his decision and said, "Mentor, I choose the incomplete version of the 'Rodriguez Meditation Method'!"

"Huh!" Richard exclaimed in surprise upon hearing his choice of Serales. He had gone to such lengths to explain his implied meaning in option one, and Richard couldn't possibly have missed it.

But he still chose the third option. Was this because he was confident in his comprehension, or was he overconfident?

Serales shook his head and said, "Since you've made up your mind, I respect your choice."

Clearly, Ceres did not agree with Richard's choice either. The Rodrigo Meditation Method was simply too difficult, which is why he put it in option three.

In fact, he didn't think Richard could even get started.

Because before Richard, none of his seven disciples had successfully practiced the Rodrigo meditation method. After wasting several months, they all switched to practicing other meditation methods.

However, he was reluctant to give such a top-notch meditation method to someone else. As for this disciple, it was only on a whim that he added this meditation method to the third option.

But by sheer coincidence, Richard chose it as soon as he heard it.

Seras turned around and took a tattered book from a bookshelf on the side.

The back of the book had very obvious burn marks, and large sections of the pages had been burned. After handing the "Rodriguez Meditation Method" to Richard, he waved for Richard to leave.

It seems that Serales had no expectations that Richard would learn the Rodrigo meditation method!

Richard keenly sensed this, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

He then bowed respectfully to Serales and turned to leave the laboratory.

Richard believed that facts were more convincing than words!

Back in his dorm room, Richard couldn't wait to open "Rodriguez's Meditation Method" and start reading.

He had only turned one page when he discovered a passage written by his mentor, Seres, suggesting that to practice the Rodrigo Meditation Method, he should first complete two prerequisite courses: the basics of meditation and the origins of spiritual power.

In addition, another sentence completely dealt a blow to Richard: If your mental aptitude is average, I suggest you first undergo mental training, such as some magic tricks like "manipulating skeletons," otherwise it will be extremely difficult to get started.

"Damn! His mental strength aptitude is just average!"

Richard couldn't help but swear!

My spiritual aptitude is below average, definitely belonging to the average category, and I'm actually a hidden king among the average!

This shattered his original idea of ​​using inspiration to quickly improve the Rodrigo meditation method!

After all, even a skilled cook can't cook without rice.

Even Richard, who has the Inspiration Panel at his fingertips, needs to master the basics of meditation before he can quickly gain insights by consuming energy.

It seems the original plan has to be put on hold for now. I need to first get the prerequisite courses, the basics of meditation, and the origins of spiritual power, and then do some spiritual power training!

But what the heck is this magic trick called "Manipulating Bones"?

I still need to do some research myself.

Let's take it one step at a time!

Fortunately, Richard saw from the schedule that both the Basics of Meditation and the Origins of Spiritual Power courses started tomorrow and a few days later, respectively.

Secondly, both of these are free basic courses, which saves a considerable amount of money.

Today, Richard learned from Senior Sister Meiluo that, apart from some basic courses, many subsequent courses require magic stones or points.

Magic stones are the main currency used for trade between wizards and wizarding apprentices. Richard currently doesn't have any, but it's said that he can exchange them for gold denarii in the trading area.

However, this ratio seems to be 12 to 1, that is, 12 gold dinars can be exchanged for 1 magic stone.

Of course, sometimes this ratio may be even lower, because of the scarcity of magic stones, the trading area is basically a seller's market with magic stones as the main commodity.

As for points, you need to go to the quest area to accept and complete quests to earn them.

The tasks that a first-level wizard apprentice can accept are generally gathering tasks near the school's headquarters or tasks to clear low-level monsters.

Even so, every now and then we hear news of a new student dying from a monster's sneak attack.

This would be almost impossible in the White Wizarding School, where students are treasures!

According to Senior Sister Meiluo, first-level wizard apprentices of the White Wizard School do not need to go on missions at all.

Only those who reach level two or above will be assigned tasks, and these tasks will be far less difficult than their own abilities.

However, Richard didn't care about that.

He actually prefers more field missions and more real-world combat experience.

The next morning, Richard went to a classroom according to the location of the course "Basic Meditation" written on the schedule.

Upon entering the classroom, they found dozens of students already there, whispering amongst themselves and waiting for class to begin.

Richard glanced at the scene and found that the male-to-female ratio was about 2 to 1, which was much more balanced than he had imagined.

At first, he thought that the dark wizarding school would be similar to the science and engineering colleges in his previous life, with a male-to-female ratio of about 7 to 1 or 10 to 1.

The result was surprisingly balanced!

Thinking about it, it makes sense. Dark element affinity doesn't depend on your gender, so it's reasonable that it's roughly equal for men and women.

Since no one recognized him, Richard casually found an empty table and sat down. As he sat down, several students next to him looked him up and down, sizing up this complete stranger.

After all, it's been almost a month and a half since the enrollment period ended, so this sudden transfer student is bound to arouse a lot of curiosity.

At that moment, a freckled male apprentice greeted Richard familiarly, then plopped down next to him and said, "Hi, hello, my name is Ram, you're new here, right?"

"Hello, my name is Richard. I just arrived at the school yesterday." Richard smiled kindly.

"Hiss! It's well past the enrollment period now, Richard. Looks like you're someone important!" Ram said to Richard in surprise.

As soon as he finished speaking, the apprentices around them who had overheard their conversation all looked over curiously.

Richard never expected that his casual reply would attract so much attention.

It seems that there are very few temporary transfer students like him.

Ram was clearly more interested in Richard, and enthusiastically pulled him into a conversation: "I'm from the Kingdom of Grin, Richard, what about you?"

"The Kingdom of Heron!"

"The Kingdom of Heron is right next to the Kingdom of Green, so we're neighbors."

By the way, did you know that students from different regions within the same school spontaneously form mutual aid societies? For example, the Kingdom of Herun has its own Herun Kingdom Mutual Aid Society.

"The Mutual Aid Society?" Richard thought of Ram's description. "Isn't this the hometown association from my college days?"

I was suddenly caught between laughter and tears. I never expected that even after time-traveling, there would be a hometown association to join!

Richard didn't mind having another chatterbox.

After all, it would also allow him to become more familiar with the basic situation of the school of thought, and at the same time, he cleverly avoided some of Ram's indirect inquiries.

"By the way, Richard, let's have dinner together sometime. I can also introduce you to some friends, including some beautiful girls~" Ram blinked and said mysteriously.

Before Richard could even respond, the entire classroom fell completely silent!

Ram, as nimble as a monkey, quickly returned to his seat.

It turned out that an elderly man in a black robe had just walked into the classroom. He was clearly the instructor for this course.

Judging from the color of his robes, he was a full-fledged wizard, not a third-level wizard apprentice.

It seems that the school places great importance on the enlightenment of new students. I wonder if other public courses are also taught by formal wizards.

The old man in black robes was clearly satisfied with the order in the classroom. After looking around, he began the lesson: "In this lesson, I will mainly talk about the basic meditation method that the school has given to you for free."

Although the name contains the word "basic," don't underestimate it.

It is an introductory meditation method that has been gradually improved by successive top wizards of the Ignis School.

As a basic meditation method that only circulates five runes per cycle, its efficiency in improving mental power is one to two levels slower compared to some intermediate and advanced meditation methods.

However, its advantage lies in its ease of entry and safe training, which is sufficient for most of you to continue until you reach the second-level wizard apprenticeship.

Even many newly promoted third-level wizard apprentices are still using basic meditation methods until they find a more suitable one.

In explaining meditation techniques, this qualified wizard began with the basic meditation methods of his school, then drew upon a wide range of sources, presenting his explanations clearly and logically.

For Richard, who was completely clueless about the basics of meditation, this was like a long-awaited rain after a drought, and he would occasionally have a sudden realization.

So Richard picked up his quill pen without thinking and began taking notes in class.

This continued for three days in a row!
