Magic: Reincarnate from high-voltage electricity at the start, level up independently.

These words had barely left his lips when they stirred up a ripple in the classroom.

"Teacher, what does it mean to become a true magician? Aren't we already magicians?"

"Is that so?" Wang Jian smiled, looked at the student who had asked the question, and said, "I remember you're the class monitor, right? Then please, class monitor, demonstrate your magic for us."

"Well……"

Seeing that all the eyes in the class were on her, Xu Wan had no choice but to stand up.

You shut mouth! Look what you've done!

Xu Wan took a deep breath and relaxed, raising her right hand. In her palm, a glistening water sphere slowly gathered, radiating a faint glow of water-based magic.

"Teacher." She looked at Wang Jian, her voice tinged with nervousness.

"I saw it." Wang Jian nodded, then said, "Then try releasing it, aim it at me."

freed?

These two words stumped Xu Wan.

She awakened her water magic about two weeks ago. At the time, she just thought it was fun because she could wash her hands anytime, anywhere, and occasionally even use it to wash her hair.

As for how to release them...

She doesn't know!

Teacher, is it too late for me to take back what I just said?

Since things have come to this, we have to finish off the monster we lured, even if we have to kneel down.

Xu Wan aimed the water ball in her palm at Wang Jian, held her breath, and shouted with all her might:

"put!"

A flock of crows flew silently by...

The water balloon remained firmly in his palm, motionless, showing no sign of flying away.

"Tap tap open!"

"Water dragon bullet!"

"The profound meaning of water!"

He called out several times, but the water sphere remained completely still, without even the slightest ripple.

Faced with the increasingly intense and teasing gazes of the crowd, Xu Wan's cheeks flushed red instantly, and she quietly lowered her hand.

That was so embarrassing.

At that moment, she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into and never come out again.

"alright."

Wang Jian didn't make things difficult for Xu Wan, and said gently, "Please sit down, classmate."

"Yes, teacher..."

Wang Jian scanned the entire room, taking in everyone's expressions—some curious, some bewildered, some eager—and spoke calmly:

"The standard for a true magician is that he can at least cast a spell completely, which requires sufficient magic power."

"They just won't let you use your ultimate if you don't have mana," a student couldn't help but interject, making the whole class laugh.

"Hmm." Wang Jian nodded, not angry at all. Instead, he went along with this statement and continued, "To put it numerically, casting a basic spell requires at least 1000 mana points."

"But you are just newly awakened magic apprentices, with a maximum of 999 mana in your body. You are missing a crucial step, so naturally you are not enough to activate the release of magic."

"Therefore, you need to use your awakened magic power in the spiritual world to condense your own magic core."

"One magic core is exactly equivalent to 1000 mana points. Only by condensing a magic core can one truly cast a basic spell."

"Congratulations on taking this step. You have successfully advanced from an apprentice to a novice mage."

Afterwards, Wang Jian explained in detail how to calm down and enter the spiritual world, and how to guide the scattered magic power in the body to slowly condense into a solid magic core.

"Give it a try, everyone."

Wang Jian chuckled, "If anyone succeeds in this class, they can come to me for a small gift."

"Of course," he added, "it's okay if you don't succeed; it's meant to be a series of attempts."

As soon as Wang Jian finished speaking, a clear and calm voice suddenly rang out in the quiet classroom.

"Teacher, I'm all better now."

Wang Jian was slightly taken aback, and the smile on his face froze for a moment.

So fast?

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a white-haired girl sitting in the back row of the classroom by the window.

She was slender and aloof, exuding an air of arrogance that stood out from her surroundings. Her exquisite and outstanding appearance, pure and flawless, made her the center of attention in the class simply by sitting down.

Wang Jian noticed her as soon as he entered the classroom, and also learned from the academic affairs office that she was a new transfer student who had joined the class today, named Chu Ge.

After a moment, he finally came to his senses, suppressed his surprise, and said, "Then please, student, cast a spell on me and see."

"it is good."

Chu Ge slowly stood up, calm and composed, without the slightest fear.

She raised her right palm, aiming it at Wang Jian in front of her. A cluster of blazing red fireballs instantly condensed in her palm, and heat waves spread out from her fingertips, making even the surrounding air slightly hot.

Without any unnecessary movements, she simply channeled her magic, and the fireball, carrying a fierce heat wave, shot straight toward Wang Jian.

Upon seeing this, Wang Jian could no longer hide the surprise in his eyes.

Just as the fireball was about to hit him, his magic surged slightly, and a pale blue water curtain automatically appeared in front of him, steadily engulfing the fireball, leaving only a trace of residual heat to dissipate into the air.

Then, he looked at Chu Ge and sincerely clapped his hands slowly: "Not bad, very good."

Wang Jian smiled and walked up to Chu Ge, taking out a small, exquisite crystal with a warm white glow from his pocket and handing it over: "This is a low-level demon beast crystal core. After absorbing it, it can purify your magic power, accelerate your cultivation speed, and help you condense your second magic core sooner."

"What?!"

Before anyone could recover from what had just happened, Xu Wan suddenly jumped up from her chair, her eyes wide, and exclaimed in surprise:

"The little gift is actually a monster core! This teacher is incredibly generous!"

"Class monitor, is this thing expensive?" A classmate quickly came over and asked in a low voice.

"Expensive." Xu Wan nodded emphatically. "The demon beast crystal core is the core extracted from the body of a demon beast. It is equivalent to the essence of all their power. I heard that it is very beneficial to a mage's cultivation."

"Many large companies related to magic are buying them up at high prices, as many as they can get. Currently, even the most basic primary crystal core is being sold online for 30,000 yuan."

"Hiss—" The man gasped, his eyes widening instantly, unable to utter a word.

"No!"

Xu Wan's eyes suddenly hardened, and she clenched her fist, saying, "I want to condense a magic core too! I want a little gift too!"

After saying that, she sat down and began to work hard.

Chu Ge stared at the white crystal core, recalling a summer evening when she was training outside and a blind, mutated rat suddenly darted out and attacked her.

...and then she punched him to death, and this thing came out.

Having lived several lifetimes, she roughly knew what this thing was, but at that time she had not yet awakened magic and there was no magical power to draw her in, so she could not absorb it at all, and casually threw it on the table in her room.

Then, Chu Ge took the crystal core and stuffed it into his mouth without saying a word.

The next second, the crystal core instantly melted in her mouth, transforming into a warm and pure magical power that rushed straight into her spiritual world.

Chu Ge focused her mind and looked inward. She saw that after the pure magic power surged into her spiritual world, it obediently followed her will and quickly condensed into a round, white magic core in the originally empty spiritual space.

After absorbing the nutrients, Chu Ge sat down and began to stare blankly at the shadows of the trees outside the window, resting his chin on his hand.

Wang Jian turned his gaze to the other students and waited patiently, but until the end of the class and until school was over, no one else in the classroom was able to successfully condense a magic core.

……

When Chu Ge returned home that evening, she found the lights on and the house had been carefully decorated.

Colorful ribbons hung on the wall, creating a festive atmosphere. My mother, whom I hadn't seen in a long time, was squatting on the ground, carefully popping red balloons. The table was laden with a sumptuous feast, with sweet and sour fish and cola chicken wings wafting out of the air. The kitchen range hood was still running gently.

The Third Middle School where Chu's parents studied was far from their home, taking more than two hours to get back. So they simply bought a house near the school, which made it easier for them to enjoy their time together.

I heard that Chu Ge has successfully awakened his magic, so I took a day off to come back and celebrate.

As for Chu Hong—

Chu's father arranged for him to stay at school, hoping that he could sober up at school and that he could become a proper older brother before being sent home.

"My most, most, most adorable baby girl!"

As soon as Chu Ge's mother saw her, she dropped the balloons and rushed over, affectionately nuzzling Chu Ge's soft, girlish face, and asked with a smile, "How was your day at school? Did any handsome boys confess to you?"

"Yes." Chu Ge nodded expressionlessly.

While I was out for lunch, a blond guy inexplicably stopped me on the street. He struck what he thought was a cool pose and said affectionately, "Beautiful lady, I'll learn magic to support you."

That's absolutely infuriating.

As for whether he's handsome or not...

She didn't notice.

"Xiao Ge is back."

Mr. Chu emerged from the kitchen carrying a steaming bowl of corn and pork rib soup, his face beaming with a gentle smile: "Hungry? Go wash your hands, we'll eat right away to celebrate my precious daughter's awakening of magic!"

At the dining table, Chu's mother was cutting strawberry cake while chattering about her experiences at No. 3 Middle School these past few days. She also teased Chu's father, saying that even though school had been in session for so long, he still hadn't condensed a magic core and was the worst student in his class.

"Why say these things in front of Xiao Ge? Give me some face."

Chu's father blushed upon hearing this, scratched his head, and finally could only solemnly defend himself, "Don't listen to your mother's nonsense. Emperor Gaozu of Han was still watching dogs fight at the village entrance when he was forty-seven years old. Dad's success is called late blooming, not a lack of talent."

"Yes, trust Dad."

Chu Ge didn't have much to say to her parents. After quietly finishing her meal, she got up and went back to her room.

She went straight to the desk, found the long-forgotten white crystal core, and began to absorb it.

Pure magic surged into her body once more. She sat cross-legged on the bed, closed her eyes, and devoted herself entirely to cultivation, guiding the magic within her body to continuously condense in her spiritual world.

In the middle of the night, Chu's mother, dressed in a cute bear pajama, gently pushed open the door a crack while holding a pillow. However, upon seeing Chu Ge sitting cross-legged with a faint magical aura surrounding her, she quietly closed the door again, afraid of disturbing her.

Chu Ge immersed himself in cultivation all night, his demonic power circulating and condensing within his body.

The next morning, as the first rays of sunlight streamed into the room through the window, she slowly opened her eyes, a glimmer of light flashing in them.

In her spiritual world, four round and full white magic cores have steadily condensed, neatly arranged, their magic power abundant and pure, far exceeding that of ordinary novice mages.

According to the mage level classification introduced by Wang Jian yesterday, novice mages are divided into ten minor realms.

Each condensed magic core represents a breakthrough to the next level.

Once you have collected ten magic cores, you can try to advance to a higher-level magic crystal and break through to become a mid-level mage.

In just one day, she went from an apprentice at the Enlightenment Academy to the fourth level of the initial stage, which was simply terrifying.

Pushing open the door and stepping out, Chu Ge saw a warm breakfast laid out on the dining table, complete with milk and bread, and a note with playful handwriting tucked under the plate:

"Mom and Dad are off to school, so they won't be supervising you to eat breakfast. Be a good girl, okay? — Sailor Moon"
