"The system suddenly canceled the quest, which was completely beyond my expectations." The system suddenly canceled the quest. Which ruined Vale's plan to obtain 5 magic radiation stones.
"I should have learned more about the system. My knowledge about the system is still quite shallow. However, at least this incident can serve as a lesson for me." Although his plan was ruined, Vale had at least broken through to apprentice magus stage two. He also had one more magic radiation stone that he hadn't used.
"To be honest, even if there are no quests from the system, I can still challenge students who are good at magic spelling. But the risk is too great. I'm lucky that Kirilenko kept his promise and didn't even try to take back the magic radiation stone. However, other students might not be as good as Kirilenko."
For Vale, continuing to challenge other students who were skilled at magic spelling was a risky plan. Therefore, he needed to come up with a new plan. As he was now an apprentice magus stage two, he needed to devise a new fighting strategy. Additionally, with each level increase, the magus's body underwent rejuvenation, and its potential was higher than before.
With three weeks remaining before the annual test, Vale intended to prepare himself. He planned to learn more magic techniques, level 0. However, now that he had reached apprentice magus stage two, the number of magic techniques he could use had increased significantly. In the past, he only needed a few magic techniques as a variety of attacking.
At this time, he only mastered 10 magic techniques. Meanwhile, Vale estimated that he would need to master at least 30 magic techniques to prepare for the various conditions of the annual test.
To make things easier for himself, Vale divided the magic techniques into several categories. First, there was the attack category, which was further divided into attacks on a single target and attacks on a wide area. Second, crowd control, which was magic techniques that have functions to disturb the enemy, whether it's the enemy's five senses or the enemy's environment.
Third, defensive magic. Fourth, healing magic. However , the annual test would probably last for a few days, so he would have to learn some healing magic to heal his wounds after every battle. The last, movement technique, a category of magic techniques that served to help the user move faster, so the user would easier to run away, chase, or avoid enemy attacks.
Actually, there were many more categories of magic techniques that Vale arranged, but these 5 categories of magic techniques were the most common that Vale found in this academy. In these three weeks, Vale would have been learning magic techniques from the five categories. Of course, he still had to prioritize attack, defense, and crowd control.
Even though Vale had become apprentice magus stage two, he will not change his hit-and-run fighting style. For him, killing the enemy as quickly as possible and then running away, was a good strategy for the annual test later. He was worried that if he focused on one student, the other students might find out about the fight and surround him. Because of it, killing the enemy as fast as possible was a good strategy.
In the first week, Vale decided to concentrate on attack magic.
Students at the academy could learn magic techniques in the library. Most of these techniques were ordinary level 0 magic techniques, and had certain drawbacks. To learn a relatively better magic technique, the student must buy the magic technique either from the teachers or the seniors.
On the first day, Vale messed up the library. He noted every magic technique level 0, attack magic. He then compared everything. Subsequently, he chose a few magic technique levels 0 that he thought were the best. After a few hours, Vale finally got 7 magic techniques level 0, attack category, which he thought were good.
Four of them were single targets, namely live tree thrust, lightning spear, yellow electro stone breaker, and high-pressure water jet. Then, he also had 3 level 0 magic techniques in the area attack category. The gust of scorching fire, flapping of the dragon wings, and the reincarnation of the forest : binding.
After spending a day collecting magic techniques level 0 attack-type, Vale began to train them, one by one. At first, he thought it would take a long time to master even a magic technique level 0, but he was mistaken.
[Mastering Living Tree Thrust (magic technique level 0) : 30%]
[Use it 70 times again to master this magic technique]
The system's assistance allowed Vale to master all seven attack-type magic techniques in just 5 days. He had mastered it so well, that made the magic spelling in every magic technique he had just learned was quite fast. This meant, he could use the magic technique quickly, even if he only mastered it for a few days.
In the second week, Vale intended to learn 5 magic techniques defense-type and 4 magic techniques crowd control types. Because the magic techniques that he had to master were too many, until the second week ended, Vale only mastered 7 magic techniques. He still hadn't finished mastering 2 more magic techniques, that he should have mastered in the second week. This meant that Vale had only mastered 4 defense-type magic techniques and 3 crowd control-type magic techniques.
In the third week, during the first three days of the week, Vale managed to master 2 healing-type magic techniques, and 1 movement-type magic technique.
So far, Vale had mastered 17 new magic techniques level 0. Coupled with the 10 magic techniques that he previously mastered, Vale had already mastered 27 magic techniques level 0. However, Vale was not satisfied. He felt that the magic techniques level 0 he learned from the library was too weak. He decided to go to Ms. Rosaline.
Vale knocked on Ms. Rosaline's office after the class was over. After several knocks on the door, he finally heard Ms. Rosaline from inside the room.
"Please come in."
Vale opened the office door. He saw Ms. Rosaline, who had just finished teaching. He accidentally noticed the collar of Ms. Rosaline's shirt was slightly opened so that it shows her cleavage. The young man immediately turned his face.
"Oh, Vale? I see you have been very busy in the past three weeks mastering magic technique level 0. Do you need my help?" asked Ms. Rosaline gently. She fixed the collar of her shirt that had been slightly opened earlier.
Vale sighed in relief seeing Ms. Rosaline fixed the collar. He then replied, "Ms. Rosaline, I feel that the magic techniques level 0 I learned from the library are not good enough. Even if magic techniques' usefulness depends on the user, but I think I need some good quality magic techniques level 0."
Vale took the only magic radiation stone he had on him. He then put it in front of Ms. Rosaline.
"I require some good quality magic techniques level 0. I'm willing to pay for it, using this magic radiation stone."
Ms. Rosaline took the magic radiation stone and observed it. She then asked, "This isn't the magic radiation stone I gave to you, is it?"
"The one you gave to me, already used by me to break through to apprentice magus stage two," Vale answered curtly.
"So where did you get this stone?" asked Ms. Rosaline.
Vale was silent. The same thing was repeated as when Ms. Rosaline looked at his new meditation technique. As one of the people who close to Vale, Ms. Rosaline understood very well what Vale had and what Vale miraculously got.
"Let me guess, was it from Kirilenko? I heard Mr. Eldon Caprine was angry with his pupil for a few days after Kirilenko lost a magic radiation stone in a bet."
Vale surprised when he heard that. He didn't expect Ms. Rosaline would be able to correctly guess where he got the magic radiation stone.
"You should be honest with your teacher, Vale."
Ms. Rosaline looked at Vale seriously, thinking this beloved student of hers was starting to hide some things.
"I already told you to tell me if you need something."
"Sorry, I won't do it again, Ms. Rosaline."
Rosaline sighed, and continued speaking, "I'll get you some magic techniques level 0 with this magic radiation stone you. You can come to here again, tomorrow."
Vale bowed his head, "Thank you, Ms. Rosaline."
