Wizards begin with Occlumency.

Chapter 10 Diligent Study

It was late at night when we arrived at the college.

The recruitment process lasted all day, and the large aircraft didn't take off until nightfall.

During their stay, Link and Jasmine also enjoyed a dinner delivered by an intelligent mechanical puppet, which was sweet, delicious, and very tasty.

After disembarking from the aircraft, several unmanned vehicles were already waiting, clearly marked, requiring no human guidance.

The boys and girls boarded separate vehicles and headed to their respective dormitories.

No further procedures are required upon entering the dormitory, nor is it necessary to purchase bedding or other personal items. You can simply move in with your luggage. Moreover, it is a one-person-one-room system, so there is no need to share a room.

The room has a layout of two bedrooms, one living room, and one bathroom. The two bedrooms are a bedroom and a study, the living room is a living room, and the bathroom is a separate wet and dry bathroom.

As soon as Link entered the dormitory, he took a quick look around to get a general idea of ​​the room's layout. Before he could even settle in, his personal AI in his bag started vibrating.

Link quickly unpacked the package, took out his personal smart device, and found that it was a notification from the academy.

When I clicked on it, I was dumbfounded.

"Congratulations on your enrollment in the Rivosos School of Biology and Medicine, 'new blood' from the Stormy Sea Quete Islands."

The wizard's journey of seeking knowledge and truth begins here.

Your course schedule for the upcoming semester (sixteen weeks) will soon be sent to your personal smart device. Please plan your time accordingly.

Close the notification, and the course schedule will be available immediately.

Link took a deep breath, opened the timetable, and was even more dumbfounded.

There are eight courses this semester: "A Brief History of Wizarding Civilization", "An Overview of Spiritual Power and Meditation", "Symbolic Literature", "The Nature, Origin and Development of Wizardry", "Mathematics", "Botany", "Zoology" and "Human Anatomy".

There are four long classes every day, two in the morning and two in the afternoon, with a very full schedule.

As for the textbooks, Link had previously seen them on the bookshelf in the study.

From daily life to studies, the college has made sure everything is in place.

So starting the day after tomorrow, Link will have to enter a life rhythm of learning until he dies, as long as he doesn't die.

After all, whether you become a superior person or a beast of burden in the future depends entirely on whether you can learn well during these four years.

Time waits for no one. Link locked his portable smart device, quickly took a shower in the bathroom, changed into the pajamas provided free of charge by the academy in his bedroom closet, and went to bed to get some rest.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Link woke up.

After taking care of his personal hygiene and changing into the school uniform provided free of charge by the academy, Link, carrying the books scheduled for the first four periods—"A Brief History of Wizarding Civilization," "An Overview of Mental Power and Meditation," "Runeology," and "The Nature, Origin, and Development of Wizardry"—along with the pen and notebook he found in the study, headed to the library under the map navigation guidance of his personal smart device.

Molly Kidman spent the whole day tinkering with the portable smart device and still managed to produce quite a few results.

Calendar, alarm clock, notes, map navigation, friend chat, file sharing, and more were all unearthed by Jasmine.

Girls, generally speaking, are all keen on sharing.

So Link didn't have to figure it out himself and he already got a lot of uses for the portable smart device.

Lie down and win!

Link's dormitory building is quite far from the library, about a 15-minute walk, passing a canteen and a student service building along the way.

Link received a free, hearty breakfast at the cafeteria using his ID. After finding a seat, he had just taken a sip of milk and hadn't even started eating his bread when Jasmine sent him a message through the friend system on his personal smart device.

"Link, are you up yet? What are you planning to do today? Take a stroll around the academy?"

Link replied coldly, "What are you browsing for? Study! Classes start tomorrow, have you previewed the textbooks? What if you don't understand the teacher's lectures?"

"Ah, this... I hadn't thought about that."

Link: "Hehe. I'm having breakfast in the cafeteria, then I'll go to the library. I suggest you preview the textbooks beforehand. You know we only have four years!!!"

After replying to the message, Link locked his portable smart device and focused on eating.

After filling his stomach, Link ignored the several messages Jasmine sent him and headed straight to the library. He found a seat by the window in the corner of the west reading room on the first floor, shared his seat with Jasmine, and then began to read attentively.

"A Brief History of Wizarding Civilization" is about the thickness of a thumb.

From the emergence of the first formal wizard in human history more than 7,800 years ago, to humanity uniting under the wizard's leadership to defeat the powerful monster race and truly become the masters of the world, to the appearance of the first saint who surpassed the ninth-level wizard sage, to the wizarding world dominating the starry seas under the leadership of nine saints, to the great war between the wizarding world and the world of gods, which also dominated a part of the starry seas, directly shattering both worlds, to the five saints who survived the war condensing some of the world fragments into the main continent, while the other fragments were scattered on the four oceans, becoming islands of various sizes...

Any event that has had a certain impact on the wizarding world is included in the book.

It will also write extensively about certain events with significant and far-reaching impact, restoring the truth from various angles and providing analysis.

Link quickly skimmed through the book from beginning to end, without even looking at it in detail, and decided that he would definitely study the history thoroughly based on the chronology of "A Brief History of Wizarding Civilization" when he had time in the future.

Knowing the past can help us understand the present; reading history makes us wise.

After skimming through it, Link turned to the first chapter and started reading again.

This time, I carefully analyzed every word and sentence, and occasionally jotted down my thoughts, insights, or questions in my notebook.

The Temple of Thought only allows Link to have a photographic memory, but remembering does not equate to understanding.

Writing down your thoughts and taking notes by hand can help you better digest knowledge.

Because of the highest level of "brain shut-in technique," Link's mind was clear and free of distractions, allowing him to fully immerse himself in the book. Therefore, he was unaware that Jasmine had come looking for him midway through.

After greeting her several times without receiving a response, Jasmine was initially a little annoyed, but later she was inexplicably influenced and began to study her lessons diligently.

Until both of their stomachs started rumbling in protest.

The two looked up and exchanged a glance.

Link was fine, but Jasmine blushed with embarrassment.

Girls are always more concerned about their image.

"Let's go eat."

Fortunately, Link's timely greeting eased the awkward atmosphere.

Jasmine lowered her head and tidied her books for a while, adjusted her mindset, and went to the cafeteria for lunch with Link as if nothing had happened.

After lunch, Jasmine still wanted to stroll around the college. She had been interested in many places when she watched the video introducing the college yesterday.

After being rejected by Link again, whether out of pride or some other reason, Jasmine chose to part ways with Link and went shopping on her own.

Link, on the other hand, plunged into the library and buried himself in his studies.
