Wizard: Start consuming attributes from the equipment slot.

Sunrise, sunset, and another week has passed in the blink of an eye.

At Morningstar Academy, in the laboratory building, Victor has begun to take over most of Nina's work.

He walked over to the malfunctioning alchemy golem, skillfully opened the back module, adjusted the runes, replaced the parts, and waited for the alchemy golem to restart. Then he took the replaced parts to the workbench and began to slowly repair it.

Nina chuckled and clapped her hands at him.

"Very good, Viktor... you truly have an exceptional talent for alchemy. I wasn't wrong about you!"

"It seems you haven't even been at the academy for a month yet, has it?"

"As a result, I can now adjust the rune structure myself and even easily repair alchemical parts... Back then, it wasn't until the second year that I was able to handle these things independently."

Viktor smiled modestly:

"Senior, please don't praise me like that... I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants."

"You taught me these simple maintenance methods and techniques. If I were to try to figure it out on my own, it might take me years and I still wouldn't find a solution... How could I possibly compare to you, senior?"

"Hahaha~~ Sometimes excessive humility is also a form of arrogance, Viktor..."

Nina smiled and shook her head.

It has to be said that as they spent more and more time together, she valued Viktor more and more.

It wasn't for any other reason, it was simply because the other person's talent was the kind that was obvious to the naked eye... She had been in the academy for over ten years and knew clearly that even among wizard apprentices who entered the academy, at least 99% had only so-so prospects.

With good luck and resources, one might be able to successfully reach the level of a high-ranking wizard apprentice.

If you're unlucky, or if you don't have a family background or resources, you'll probably only stay in the academy for a year or two, learning one or two kinds of witchcraft and a little bit of wizarding knowledge, before being expelled from the academy.

The dropout rate at Morning Star Academy... is much higher than you might imagine!

Therefore, she believed that she had surpassed most of the apprentices and had successfully reached the level of advanced wizard apprentice, and had the possibility of becoming a formal wizard. However, in reality, she was still a long way from becoming a formal wizard, and had only entered the accumulation stage.

It's normal for good luck to take a few years, or even more than ten years if you're unlucky.

Therefore, she was truly astonished by Viktor's talent... not just in alchemy, but also in his progress in meditation and his mastery of various witchcraft techniques; this guy always surprised her...

"I'm not being modest... Compared to those true geniuses, I'm really just average."

If we're talking about modesty, then Viktor was indeed modest.

If we're talking about being ordinary, then Viktor really doesn't consider himself ordinary.

The main thing is... only he himself knows just how much change the family treasure 'Silver Key' that he found from Vivian a week ago has brought to him!

Thinking of this, Victor opened his attribute panel:

[Equipment Slot {1:1}: Silver Key]

[Activated entry: Inspiration Door lv1]

[Entries already consumed: Breathing Healing Technique Lv1, Alchemy Genius Lv1, Rune Master Lv1, Mercury Blood Lv1]

......

The mental attribute has been improved once again!

But even more dramatic than the increase in his mental attributes were the changes in his skills and crafts.

Aside from meditation, which requires painstaking practice to improve, his proficiency in other techniques, whether witchcraft or alchemy, almost instantly jumped to a higher level...

All these changes are due to the term "door to inspiration"!

On the panel, the description of this entry is "Open the door to inspiration and receive the echo of knowledge"... At first, Victor was still guessing what kind of effect this entry would have.

When he tried it for the first time, he discovered that this entry was practically a cheat code!

To put it simply, the effect of this entry is that, for a certain period of time, it makes Viktor very inspired, allowing him to quickly understand the details of whatever he does and master them rapidly.

To put it simply: once enabled, it allows Viktor to gain double the proficiency when learning any knowledge!

For example, when practicing witchcraft.

After opening this entry, inspiration flowed into my mind like a smooth lubricant, all at once.

Various details that needed attention, various variations in casting, and details of manipulating magic were all rained down on him... He had only learned the sorcery "Acid Mist" from Nina for two days, which was used to deal with some marks on the surface of alchemical parts, but after using it a few times in this state, he quickly pushed his proficiency to the proficiency level.

The same applies to other forms of witchcraft; even practicing just once in this state will rapidly increase one's proficiency.

Including alchemy... I'm almost at the mastery level in basic alchemy.

Although it's just basic alchemy and doesn't include advanced alchemical techniques... there aren't many wizard apprentices who can reach this level. Even someone like Nina, with over ten years of experience assisting Manugs, probably only has a proficiency level.

Now, it might not be long before Viktor catches up...

Therefore, it's perfectly reasonable for Viktor to call this entry a cheat.

The only downside is that this skill can't always be accessed; it can only be accessed for a short while each day, after which his brain will overload and he'll need to meditate for a long time to recover.

But to be honest, even if the side effect is that he needs to meditate for a day to recover, Victor would never give up using this "door to inspiration".

Because compared to slow progress, even a short time to gain inspiration is much more effective than a whole day of dry studying!

So... a week ago, Viktor made a decisive decision, and he received far more than just a little bit of reward!

He is now very confident that as long as he continues to study and cultivate step by step, he will definitely be able to break through to the formal wizard realm in ten years at most!

This speed might not match that of a suddenly emerging genius who rapidly advances to become a full-fledged wizard within a few years... but it's enough to compete with the many geniuses in Morning Star Academy's history for the fastest path to becoming a full-fledged wizard...
