Wizard Immortal

Chapter 67 Mentor

"Alright, you can leave now and go with the servant to your quarters to rest for a while."

Asila put away the five magic stones on the wooden table in front of her and smiled: "Someone will notify you to come over tomorrow, and then we'll decide which mentor you'll be assigned to."

"In addition, as a specially admitted student, your tuition fees at our college are waived according to regulations."

Adir nodded, a polite smile on his face: "Then I'm sorry to bother you."

After he finished speaking, he walked to the side.

There, a maid dressed in a light blue servant's uniform stood quietly, her face somewhat blank. When she saw Adir approaching, she showed no expression: "Please come with me."

After saying this, she walked away into the distance, ignoring Adir in the slightest.

Behind him, Adir didn't say much, but simply followed the other person forward quietly.

It took about half an hour to reach Adir's destination in front of a building.

The dormitory was on a floor, with one apprentice on each floor.

However, after casually looking around and walking through two or three floors, Adir found no trace of other apprentices living there, suggesting that he was probably the only apprentice living in the entire building.

This is a fairly normal indication, considering that along the way, apart from the blank-faced servants, Adir hadn't seen many wizards or apprentices, indicating that the entire academy was sparsely populated. Given the academy's large size, it's quite normal that they weren't assigned here.

I went straight to my floor, opened the door, and found it to be very clean and tidy. Not only was there all kinds of furniture, but also all kinds of daily necessities were prepared, indicating that someone regularly came to clean.

Adir put his luggage aside, sat down at the wooden table next to him, and picked up a book he was carrying to continue reading.

··········

The next day, as the morning sun shone on the earth, there was a knock on Adir's door.

He opened the door and saw a pale-faced young man wearing a black trench coat standing outside.

"Hello, is this Adir?" He looked at Adir and asked with some certainty.

Seeing Adir nod, the young man smiled and said, "Let me introduce myself. I'm Kurama, and I've come to take you to see your mentor."

After tidying up quickly, they left.

On the way, Kurama didn't say a word, but simply led Adir forward quietly.

After walking for a while, they arrived at a huge tower and saw a woman dressed in a white robe.

The woman wore a silver-white mask on half of her face, which looked like an ornament or some kind of special item. She showed no reaction when she saw Adir and the other person arrive, her face remaining cold.

"Mentor Edie!"

Upon seeing the woman, Kurama wore a respectful expression: "This is Adir, the newcomer assigned to our unit this time."

"You can go now." Edie, dressed in a white robe, nodded and said in front of her, her tone somewhat stiff and cold.

Kurama nodded, glanced at Adir beside him, and then walked out.

After he left, Etilie looked at Adir in front of her and gave a stiff smile: "Your name is Adir, isn't it?"

"Yes, Lady Edily." Adir nodded, looking at Edily before him with a slightly respectful expression.

Seeing Adir's expression, Etilie nodded: "You've just been assigned to my class, so just call me mentor from now on."

"I've seen your file; you have a fourth-class qualification, which is very good."

As she spoke, she took out a black crystal ball from the side and quietly placed it on the wooden table beside her.

The crystal ball looked deep and dark, as if it were imbued with some unique power, possessing a mysterious attraction.

"Use your mind and body to feel it."

Amidst my confusion, I heard the voice of my mentor, Edie.

Without hesitation, he stretched out his right hand to touch the black crystal ball.

A soft ringing suddenly came to my ears.

A light seemed to flash before my eyes, completely obscuring my vision, leaving only blurry figures.

At that moment, many unknown symbols appeared before his eyes, seemingly carrying inexplicable power and knowledge, quietly emerging before him.

Countless symbols combined before my eyes, eventually transforming into complex runes with unique charm and special effects, constantly weaving together into exceptionally intricate structures.

I don't know how much time passed, but everything in front of me disappeared, and the changed scene began to return to normal.

Adir shook his head violently, feeling as if something had hit his head, making it feel unusually swollen. A sense of mental exhaustion and stinging pain kept coming over him, making him feel quite uncomfortable.

A vast amount of new knowledge emerged in his mind and was firmly memorized.

"This is a basic meditation method. To save time, I'll transmit this directly into your mind to avoid wasting a lot of time."

Seeing Adir's condition, Etilie said, "However, this thing is quite mentally damaging, so remember to rest more when you get back."

Hearing this, Adir suppressed the fatigue and discomfort in his mind and said, "Well then, Instructor Etilie, I'll take my leave now."

Seeing Edily nod in front of him, he walked out the door.

Stepping out of the room and reaching the doorway, Kurama, dressed in a black robe, stood quietly. Upon seeing Adir emerge, he smiled and asked, "How are you feeling?"

"This seems a bit bad." Looking at Kurama in front of him, Adir forced a smile and said.

"Haha, this is normal."

Standing to the side, looking at Adir's somewhat pale face, Kurama said with some sympathy, "You haven't undergone long-term meditation training yet. Even if you have good aptitude, your current mental strength is not even comparable to that of a first-class apprentice. Direct mental transmission will naturally cause more damage, and some aftereffects are simply unavoidable."

"However, there's nothing we can do about it."

"How so?"

By this time, Adir had recovered from his previous mental daze. Hearing Kurama's words, he asked somewhat ambivalently.

Compared to ordinary apprentices, his spirit is much stronger. Having lived three lives, even without specifically studying methods to temper the spirit, time alone is enough to bring his spirit to its peak.

Although the Grand Knight primarily trains the body, the body and mind are inherently connected. As the body gradually strengthens, the mind also gradually becomes stronger. While it certainly cannot compare to the level of a formal wizard, it may not be inferior to ordinary first-class or second-class apprentices.

"Practicing meditation is a complex process, even the basic meditation techniques. If you haven't personally experienced the feeling of meditation and are only learning through words and images, it will take at least a few years."

Kurama maintained his smile as he looked at Adir and said, "In contrast, memory transfer is different. During memory transfer, that unique feeling of meditation will also be transferred to you, allowing your body and mind to remember that feeling. Afterward, you just need to gradually become familiar with it, and then you will be able to meditate independently on your own."

"This one treatment alone will save you at least one or two years. Compared to that, the aftereffects that can be recovered in a mere half a month are nothing."

"That's true." Adir nodded in agreement.

Compared to spending years learning basic meditation, this method of memorization, though dangerous, is nothing compared to the vast amount of time saved by a quick start.

"Actually, Mentor Edie is a very nice person. You are already very lucky to be assigned to her team."

In front of Adir, Kurama was like a chatterbox, constantly saying, "Among all the instructors in the academy, Instructor Etilie has the best temper and takes the best care of her apprentices."

"Moreover, compared to other mentors who are all quite old, Mentor Edie has only been promoted in the last ten years or so, so she doesn't have many apprentices under her. Including you and me, there are only five or six people. When things calm down, the apprentices under her receive much more care and resources than those under other mentors..."

While holding Adir's hand, Kurama kept talking, and beside him, Adir kept smiling, pretending to listen attentively, occasionally echoing what the other said.

After learning some information about his mentor Edith, Adir breathed a sigh of relief.

According to Kurama, Mentor Edith is only in her early fifties this year. This age is terrifying among mortals, but it is very young among formal wizards who can generally live to be two hundred years old.

Because he had only been promoted for a little over ten years, this mentor had very few apprentices. Therefore, he valued each apprentice more and did not treat them like slaves or even experimental subjects like other formal wizards. He was also more attentive in his teaching.

Although this mentor might not be as good as those veteran formal wizards in some aspects because he had only recently been promoted, Adir was already very satisfied.

"At least those five magic stones weren't wasted."

Standing in front of the dormitory building, watching Kurama's departing figure, this thought flashed through Adir's mind.
