Wizards begin with Occlumency.

Chapter 51 Turbulence

Link felt that Jasmine's tone was a little strange.

The exact source of the strangeness was unclear for the time being.

Gathering his thoughts, Link continued, "Don't rush into making a decision. You can think about it first. After all, helping out in the lab will take up a lot of your study time."

"No need to think about it, it's settled then."

Jasmine's tone was unusually firm, "Without you guiding me, I can't learn anything. Besides, only a fool would refuse an opportunity to be in such a high-level laboratory. I know how important experiments are for cultivation!"

"Oh well."

Link nodded, confirming that Jasmine was genuinely willing to come to the lab to help as an assistant, so he didn't try to persuade her further.

The laboratory is very clean, and intelligent robots clean it up every day, so there's no need to clean it anymore.

The two did not linger and left quickly.

Teaching building.

As usual, Link and Jasmine arrived at the classroom early to study.

But then, something strange happened.

Almost everyone who entered the classroom afterward would make a point of glancing in Link's direction.

Some people, in twos and threes, would whisper and discuss something in hushed tones.

Link doesn't care; he can effectively control his emotions by using "brain shut-in".

Jasmine couldn't stand it anymore.

With the fall semester halfway through, a significant number of new recruits have been promoted to first-class wizard apprentices, and both the quantity and quality of their mental strength have improved.

The eyes are the organ that best conveys emotions and will in the human body, so the phrase "bright and piercing" is used to describe a person's gaze.

As the quantity and quality of mental strength are improved, the sense of pressure in one's gaze and the richness of emotions and will conveyed naturally also increase.

After Jasmine was promoted to a first-class wizard apprentice, her perception became even more acute.

As a result, Jasmine felt a strange sense of unease, as if she were sitting on pins and needles.

It stings so badly it makes you feel uncomfortable all over and your scalp tingles.

This made it impossible for Jasmine to concentrate on her studies.

Feeling out of sorts, Jasmine put down her books and pens, took out her personal smart device, and browsed the "forum" to pass the time.

A moment later, Jasmine exclaimed softly, nudged Link with her elbow, and handed him her personal smart device to show him what she had just discovered.

Link turned his head and saw that the screen displayed his "photo" and a brief biography.

The "photo" is a front-facing image, likely taken during the first two weeks after enrollment.

Link was sitting in the library reading room, looking out the window to relieve mental stress.

The photographer was probably filming the library and accidentally captured Link in the shot.

Link only posted the "photo" to ride the wave of popularity after the exam results were released.

What Link was particularly interested in was not the "photograph".

Instead, the description states that he is "the mastermind behind the infighting between Rivers Francis, the suspected vice president of the 'New Blood Mutual Aid Society,' and Enrique Bernalis, a key member, as well as the suspect in the murder of Enrique Bernalis."

Not many people know about these two things.

Among those in the know, the most suspicious person to have spread the information is Mina Havček.

However, other possibilities cannot be ruled out.

such as……

Link looked up and glanced around, finding the five familiar guys sitting in a row in the corner, whispering to each other.

After thinking for a moment, Link didn't wave to the five guys in a grand manner to call them over. Instead, he got up and walked over by himself.

Who would have thought that as Link got closer, the atmosphere gradually became a little strange.

The five men first stopped whispering, then their faces stiffened, and finally two of them began to tremble.

"Why are you shaking like that? I'm not going to eat you."

Link smiled and said gently, "How did the exams go? I saw you guys working quite hard recently."

Since Link taught the five brothers a lesson with his fists, feet, and eyes last time, they have indeed become much more motivated and motivated than before.

"It's...not bad. They've all...made it into the top twenty."

It was the same guy who spoke up last time, but his speech wasn't very good; he stuttered a bit.

Link smiled; he could certainly hear the tremor in her voice.

This is a sign of fear towards him.

Just be afraid.

Stop beating around the bush and Link asked directly, "Do you know who posted my 'photo' on the forum, and who wrote that sentence in my profile?"

Upon hearing this, the five gentlemen exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat complicated and conflicted.

Seeing this, Link knew he had asked the right person.

But he didn't press too hard; he just waited quietly.

As they waited, their gazes gradually became indifferent.

After a moment, the men, unable to withstand the psychological pressure, revealed what they had learned: "It is said that the president of the 'New Blood Mutual Aid Association' investigated these two matters."

"Understood, thank you!"

Link nodded in satisfaction, patted the shoulders of the five men one by one, and turned to walk back to his seat.

During the chat, both of them lowered their voices.

The five gentlemen were seated in a secluded spot, with no outsiders around.

Therefore, the new recruits who arrived at the classroom early only saw five geniuses with fifth-grade aptitude, who were not arrogant at all in front of Link, and even showed a bit of humility.

As a result, far fewer people dared to stare at Link so openly.

This made Jasmine feel much more relaxed.

After Link learned that it was the president of the "New Blood Mutual Aid Association" who was behind the trouble, he didn't have any other thoughts.

A vice president and a key member have both run into trouble.

If he were in the chairman's seat, he would also have to find a way to investigate the truth.

Link simply memorized the information: "On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, the president of the 'New Blood Mutual Aid Association' tricked me."

If a good opportunity comes along in the future, it would be perfectly reasonable to take revenge, right?

Now, you can focus on your studies.

The morning classes ended in a slightly peculiar atmosphere.

As soon as get out of class ended, Jasmine, who had suffered a lot, urged Link to leave the teaching building.

"I can't live like this anymore."

In the cafeteria, Jasmine jasmine stabbed her plate with her knife and fork, grumbling, "We've seen each other before, why are you acting like this? Look, look, look, what's so interesting!"

Before experiencing it firsthand, Jasmine had no idea how terrifying it was to be stared at with strange looks and whispered about by so many people.

"No!"

Jasmine angrily threw down her knife and fork, put her hands on her hips, and declared, "I've made up my mind! If anyone looks at me like that again, I'll glare back!"

Link ate his meal in silence.

After the meal, the two went to the service building.

On the way, we encountered some people who had seen Link's "photo" and biography on the "forum". Whether they were freshmen or upperclassmen, they couldn't help but take a second look.

Just as she had said, Jasmine glared back fiercely at them one by one.

To everyone's surprise, the results were quite good.

Fewer and fewer people are casting strange glances at them.

Link was also quite surprised. He then went into the shop he had visited several times before, spent a standard level one magic stone, and bought four times the number of Silver Star Flower seeds he had bought last time.

Link bought some of everything that could be found in the store.

The materials are in place, and the experiment is about to begin.
