Magical Cat

"Another mission?"

Li Enqiang endured the headache, and before the thought could even cross his mind, he was completely overwhelmed by exhaustion and fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up, it was already the next day.

Li En opened her eyes and found herself being held in Elaine's arms.

"Li En, you're awake?"

Elaine greeted them happily.

It was clear that Elaine had been in a good mood ever since she made the contract with Li En last night.

At least, Lee En could see more and more smiles on Elaine's face.

It's such a waste to always have such a beautiful face with a serious expression, isn't it?

Meow~

Li En responded with a "good morning."

After a good night's sleep, the headache had completely subsided, and my mental energy had clearly recovered.

Li En looked around and saw that Elaine was in the corridor, probably on her way to class.

In the academy's corridors, a magic clock always hangs in a prominent place.

After a few days, Li En had become familiar with life here.

The theory classes in the morning usually start at nine o'clock and end at eleven o'clock.

Special courses may have slightly adjusted class times.

As for the afternoon session, it's generally free time to arrange your own schedule.

Practical training sessions are held only about twice a week.

However, there is a special type of physical education class that is held every day.

That's right, the academy even gave these future magicians physical training classes.

Although it's not as rigorous as training soldiers, it still comprehensively develops students' physical fitness.

There is a confirmed theory in the magical world that a magician's physical attributes greatly influence their maximum magical power.

Today, the physical education class was scheduled before the morning theory class.

Physical education classes are usually scheduled in the morning and evening. If today's physical education class is in the morning, then tomorrow's physical education class will be in the evening, and so on.

The physical education class for first graders is very simple: running exercises.

The college has a track and field where students only need to run ten laps during their physical education classes.

The number of laps run is magically recorded. You need to bring your student card and then use your magic to activate the magic that records the number of laps.

Therefore, the possibility of using a substitute runner is fundamentally eliminated.

Elaine arrived early, as she was used to being the first to arrive at the classroom.

Even so, some people had already started running laps on the playground.

Elaine took out her student card and then used magic to activate the spell that recorded the number of laps.

Li En also habitually climbed onto Elaine's shoulder, ready to wait for her to finish running.

These past few days, the physical education classes have been conducted in this way, with both the cat and the person participating.

Fortunately, Li En is still very light, so it won't affect Elaine's running.

But if he gains weight after a while, he won't be able to keep clinging to Elaine anymore.

The magic on the student card was activated, and Elaine's originally loose magic robe automatically tightened, transforming into a fitted sportswear style.

Everything provided by the Royal Academy of Magic has a specific purpose.

After getting ready, Elaine adjusted her breathing and began running in circles.

Upon entering the playground, Elaine attracted a lot of attention.

Her appearance was too outstanding, and her identity was too unusual.

The more people there are, the less Elaine speaks and the less expression she makes, giving people the feeling of keeping them at arm's length.

This is a manifestation of her personality, and also Elaine's way of protecting herself.

But the more she did this, the more criticism she attracted.

"What are you pretending for, you lowly commoner!"

This was the phrase Elaine heard most often at the academy, accompanied by all sorts of disapproving looks directed at her.

Fortunately, due to the constraints of school rules, no harm other than verbal attacks occurred.

Even so, the constant criticism and isolation are an extremely harsh and stressful environment for a young girl.

Irene's resilient character was also forged in this way.

Li En has gone from being indignant at the beginning to being able to ignore these injustices now.

He didn't accept it, but rather understood that to change the status quo, he needed sufficient power.

The unexpected turn of events in last night's contract signing put Li En in a very passive position, but it also made him realize that this might also be an opportunity.

He composed himself and carefully examined his talents and mission panel.

After several such incidents, Li En seemed to have discovered a certain pattern.

The task didn't seem to pop up randomly; rather, it was a response that arose when his survival was threatened, or perhaps when he acquired new knowledge.

At least, this was the case in all three of them.

On his first mission, he had just transmigrated and awakened, and his magic power was exhausted due to being abandoned, putting his life in imminent danger.

Looking back now, Li En realizes that the first task seemed simple: just absorb ten units of magic power within an hour.

But this is all predicated on the existence of Elaine, who is willing to help him.

Without this kind-hearted girl, who would willingly provide you with magic power, you abandoned, useless magical beast?

To put it bluntly, it's practically a dead end.

After all, he didn't have the skill of magic perception back then, which allowed him to actively absorb magic from the air.

Thinking of this, Elaine's importance in his heart grew even more.

The two subsequent missions were related to knowledge.

The second task concerning contracts was completed after reading books in the library.

This mission, however, was undertaken after reading Melina's notebook.

Li En vaguely sensed a pattern in the way the missions were issued.

He had come to understand that the purpose of his talent was to ensure his survival and to continuously grow stronger, so he guided himself through the simple and clear method of missions.

Melina's situation was indeed an uncontrollable accident, and her motives remain unclear.

But one thing is certain.

She helped Li En start a new mission; if he completes the mission, Li En will gain power through his talent.

If you have enough power, many problems will no longer be problems.

Having figured this out, Li En continued to focus his mind and began to review the contents of the notes in his mind.

The notes record the initial magic corresponding to each attribute.

The text contains quite detailed descriptions of the basic magic and how to master it.

From this, Li En found the initial wood-attribute magic that corresponded to him.

Wooden Spikes: Condenses thick, long wooden spikes and thrusts in a straight line, causing single-point damage.

Following the brief introduction to magic, there is some more detailed information.

"The basic wood-based spells are flexible and varied in their casting form, with no terrain restrictions. Once mastered at an advanced level, they can be used to entangle and bind targets, control them, or weave a defensive shield of thorns."

"Terrain amplification effect: In terrains suitable for vegetation growth, such as soil, grassland, woodland, and humus, it can directly pry up underground roots, surface grass stems, and dead branches to generate spikes, reducing mana consumption and shortening casting time..."

"advantage:……"

"shortcoming:……"

"Spellcasting tips:..."

"Insights on Elemental Condensation:..."

Li En suddenly felt a sharp twitch in her head, and couldn't help but gag, sticking out her pink little tongue.

"Damn, which genius wrote these notes?"
