Chapter 48 Steady Improvement (Bonus Chapter on Sunday)

Half a month later, while Seymour was still searching for Richard's whereabouts throughout the school, Richard arrived at Professor Seres's laboratory on the second floor with the Fire Dance Star.

As for the improved version of Fire Dance Star, Richard plans to talk about it later. After all, it would be too shocking to bring it out now, and it can't be explained by talent!

Because alchemy often requires a lot of time, effort and experimentation to produce results, it has a little bit to do with talent, but what it needs more is "diligence"!

Generally speaking, it takes hundreds or thousands of experiments to improve or optimize an alchemy formula!

After waiting patiently for a while, they heard Ceres' gentle voice from inside the room, "Is that Richard? Come in!"

"Yes, Master." Entering the room, Richard respectfully took out his self-made Fire Dance Star. "Master, I've successfully created Fire Dance Star! Please take a look!"

"So fast?" Seres looked surprised, his gaze towards Richard becoming increasingly gentle. This disciple had truly given him too many surprises.

Upon receiving the Fire Dance Star from Richard, Seras immediately recognized it as a qualified product.

The fiery red liquid had a crystal-clear appearance, with tiny golden particles scattered throughout, which were fragments of stardust. The particles were evenly distributed, with no area having more or less of them.

"Richard, you've surprised me once again! I didn't expect you to be able to concoct the Fire Dance Star so quickly!" Seras praised Richard with great satisfaction. "By the way, have you had any difficulties or questions lately that you need my help with? This time, I can answer one question for you for free as a reward!"

Richard's eyes lit up, and he said somewhat embarrassedly, "Master, I've recently heard that the Kingdom of Herun is plagued by frequent monster attacks, and there might even be bandits. I'm worried about the safety of my family, so I wonder if you could help me solve this problem!"

He found it quite strange that Davos and William hadn't come to see him since Stephena's accident.

However, after Stephena's family approached him, he knew that his idea of ​​relying on Stephena's family to protect his family's safety was definitely doomed to fail!

Now that the Knight family, to which Stephena belongs, isn't targeting his own family, he feels pretty good about it!

Richard took this opportunity to raise this question with his mentor, Serales.

After all, you will only be favored by others if you demonstrate your unique value anywhere!

"That was my oversight. According to the Wizard Convention of the Byers Continent, only the families of wizard apprentices of level two or above are protected by wizard organizations. You are only a level one wizard apprentice, which is why you have this problem!"

However, Richard, don't worry. Before you advance to the second-level wizard apprentice level, I can issue a protection mission within the school to help you solve this problem.

"At that time, there will be wizard apprentices of level two or above who will take on the task of protecting your family, so there shouldn't be any problems with this matter!" Seras liked this disciple with extraordinary alchemy potential from the bottom of his heart, so in his opinion, the problem Richard mentioned was a trivial matter.

"However, I won't personally help you eliminate your enemies, Richard. To become a wizard, you need to firmly believe that all the difficulties and setbacks you encounter will only make you stronger!"

Celeste paused, then added.

Richard was very satisfied with what Serales had just said about giving him a task within the school to protect his family for a certain period of time.

After all, Seras has already fully repaid his grandfather for saving his life!

Since Richard transmigrated to this world, although he hasn't spent much time with his parents and relatives, perhaps due to the bloodline instincts of this body, Richard still deeply desires to protect his family from harm.

Now, with his mentor's promise, Richard had no more worries!

Next, he will let his enemies know why the flowers are so red!

During this time, Richard steadily improved his skills.

While doing so, he also went to the library to borrow information about the Blood Pact Oath and found the strange spell that Stephena had used, the Phantom Spell.

It turns out that this was merely a trick-level sorcery, its only function being to reveal the soul of a recently deceased creature.

Richard quickly realized that at that time, Stephena had only manifested the soul of the corpse, while the main thing was that the Soul-Eating Spider itself devoured the soul.

Back in his dorm, Richard brought up the control panel.

Name: Richard Clavel

[Attributes]: Strength 3.7, Agility 3.9, Constitution 3.4, Spirit 6.7

[Witchcraft]: Rodrigo Meditation (Proficiency 76%, Arcane: Lesser Mental Shock), Shadow Grip (Proficiency 34%), Manipulate Bones (Proficiency 16%), Manifestation (Beginner 1%)

[Skills]: Claviel Breathing Technique (Proficient 2%), Cornel Swordsmanship (Master 6%, Secret Technique: High-Frequency Oscillation), Bow and Crossbow (Master 13%, Secret Technique: Shortbow Rapid Fire, Multiple Shots), Fire Dance Star (Improved Version) Crafting (Proficient 77%), Silver Moon Dust Crafting (Proficient 63%)

[Shortbow Rapid Fire: A special skill that allows for the continuous, rapid, and accurate firing of arrows within a short period of time, consuming a large amount of stamina. Requires a shortbow.]

[Multi-Shot: Fires up to three arrows at once, attacking three different targets. Using this technique consecutively will consume a lot of stamina.]

[Secondary Mental Breakthrough: Instantly consumes a special pure mental energy to attack the opponent's sea of ​​consciousness, causing dizziness, unconsciousness, or even death. The stronger the opponent's mental energy, the less damage is suffered, depending on the difference in mental energy between the two parties.]

[Energy Points]: 8200

In addition to spending another 500 energy points to trigger inspiration and raise the crafting ability of Fire Dance Star (Improved Version) to the mastery level of 77%, Richard also spent another 800 energy points to quickly raise the crafting ability of Silver Moon Dust to the mastery level.

But these were not the aspects that improved Richard the most. His greatest gain came from the overall attribute boost he received from practicing the Rodrigo Meditation Method every day.

With the blessing of Rodriguez's meditation technique at a proficient level, Richard's mental strength has entered a period of rapid growth, currently reaching 6.7. He will no longer face the embarrassing situation of nearly exhausting his mental strength after using Shadow Grip once.

This also gives Richard the possibility of using multiple level zero spells in combination for the next step.

Moreover, with the all-round improvement brought about by meditation, Richard increasingly felt that his physical body was getting closer and closer to a certain limit.

He guessed that it was probably the limit of the physical attributes of a knight, and that he should be able to break through to the knight level soon by using meditation.

Richard picked up the giant bow from the Shadow Hunter and pulled the bowstring hard. This time, Richard was able to draw it about 80% of the way. Although he couldn't draw it all the way yet, it was just around the corner.

Several days ago, the School's Security Department had classified the deaths of Stephanie and the other three as deaths, lifted Richard's personal restrictions, and returned items such as the giant bow and nameplate to Richard. In addition, he was rewarded with fifty magic stones and fifty points as a reward for killing a Shadow Hunter.

Unfortunately, the rewards from the previous team mission, "Investigate the Spider Trail," were all given as compensation due to the death of a teammate.

In this way, Richard made a preliminary assessment and, adding the ten points he received during the first mission, he now had sixty points, far exceeding the thirty points required for the half-semester assessment.

There were eighty-two magic stones, and Richard used the rest to buy raw materials for Fire Dance Star and Silver Moon Dust.

The total amount of Alchemy Bombs is 27 bottles of Fire Dance Star (Improved Version) and 33 packs of Silver Moon Dust.

Richard has come up with a rough outline of his next plan after several days of thought!
