The Void Walker Starting from Xumi

Chapter 12, Students and Mentors
Hetala, a foreign student from Mond, got up early today and quickly finished washing and having breakfast with the help of her attendants and maids.

Then the international student Hetala left the school dormitory with her maid and waited on the road leading from the dormitory area to the northern suburbs of Xumi City.

She was an international student who had just enrolled this year, so she was not familiar with the tutor she had chosen, and almost made a big mistake.

Soon the desert dweller Samel arrived, followed by Shamian the Tinalite from the Temple of Silence.

The three formed a team and headed to the suburb where Fugate lived.

As for the other rainforest trio, Baanka, Kulu and Batu, they took another route, which they decided together after completing their site scouting yesterday.

Mr. Nizaent, a suburban vizier, met the group of students on his way to work, and enthusiastically showed them the way to Fugate's residence.

Although it rained a little in the early morning, the road formed by the roots of the sacred trees did not appear muddy.

When several people saw their mentor, he was doing morning exercises. At this moment, his dress and temperament did not seem like that of a scholar. The various sword techniques he displayed made everyone break out in cold sweats.

Seeing the arrival of several people, Fugett rarely came online.

"First, familiarize yourself with the various arrangements in the Six-Story Manor while I finish my morning exercises." After saying this, Fuget fell back into a state of self-destruction.

Soon a quarter of an hour passed and Fugate put on his scholar's uniform again.

"How's the familiarity?" asked Fugate.

“There are many things I haven’t seen before.” The five students answered truthfully.

Xiamian, a Tinal man from the Temple of Silence, said that he had a certain foundation in alchemy and had seen most of the instruments.

Fergate nodded, and understood the foundation of these students. They were standard students who were still in the stage of learning theoretical knowledge.

That's how Fugate came here.

However, this stage of his was relatively short, after all, having a photographic memory is no joke.

Fuget fiddled with a cabinet for a while and found a beaker of an unfinished version of [Fuget's Intelligence Development Potion].

This is what was left over from the experiment the day before yesterday, and today I’m using it to complete the final trust test.

Fugett divided it into six portions expressionlessly and handed them to the six apprentices, saying, "This is the intelligence development potion I researched."

"Teacher, has this been tested by the Health Home?" Batu asked through gritted teeth.

Fugate said expressionlessly, "Of course it didn't pass."

"This is murder!!" Batu has seen too many tragic consequences of using unverified drugs.

But before Batu could finish the rest of his words, Samel from the desert village of Aru drank the intelligence development potion directly.

Then Sameer's eyes lit up.

Shamian the Tinarer of the Temple of Silence followed closely behind.

Then, the foreign student Hetala, who knew nothing, watched others drink it and drank it too.

She thought that her mentor would not harm her.

The other two rainforest people looked at each other, obviously considering the significance of this matter, and then they drank it as well.

In the end, only Batu was left, but Batu also drank the potion with a grim expression. However, after drinking it, Batu's expression changed.

"Now let me tell you about the side effects of the drug. Since it forcefully activates the brain area, your brain will be damaged. Don't worry too much. The damage is easy to repair. At most, you will have a headache after the drug wears off."

"It's teaching time now. You should have experienced the wonders of having your brains opened. I will explain the entire Six-Layer Manor and the uses and taboos of various experimental instruments."

"The entire left half of the first floor is a leisure and experimental area, the right half is a book storage area, and the middle is the kitchen area and garden area."

"You can carry out activities as you wish on the first floor."

"The second floor is the collection area, bedroom, and study. The third floor is the astrology room. These two floors are not open to you."

"The first underground floor is where mechanical engineering and architectural research is conducted, the second underground floor is where monsters and elemental forces are studied, and the third underground floor is the storage room."

"The alchemical materials and tools I prepared for you are stored there. Let's go get them later."

Fugate spoke very quickly and finished assigning the tasks quickly.

It starts with explaining the names of various experimental instruments, their functions, the standard operating procedures, etc.

Finally, the time for the medicine to take effect was calculated so that several students could become familiar with the operation.

Finally, when the effect of the drug was about to wear off, the H emotion suppressant was given to several students.

Apparently, several students knew about H emotion suppressant, and they drank it without saying anything.

"So how do you feel?" Fuget looked at the students expressionlessly.

Several students had the same expressionless expression as Fugate, but they were suffering from the side effects of the potion, so their faces couldn't help but look a little pale.

Batu asked: "The intelligence development potion seems to have magnified our original learning ability and sorted out the knowledge we have learned before. So what are the shortcomings of such an excellent potion?"

"It's expensive and has extremely strong side effects, and the potion's enhancement is only temporary. You need to take it multiple times for permanent enhancement," Fugate explained.

"But I think this side effect is acceptable. However, you need to extend the interval between taking the medicine. You can only take it once every half a month to give your brain enough time to recover."

"I have no problem." Batu nodded and retreated. After personally experiencing the effect of this intelligence development potion, Batu could not say no, because that genius-like perspective was so addictive.

"In order to prevent addiction, every time you use the intelligence development potion, you must take a bottle of emotion suppression potion at the end."

Then Fugate gave the six people a list of books, some of which could be found in the library, and some were books on brain and consciousness that Fugate had copied himself.

In addition, he also focused on introducing books on how to build a memory palace and how to strengthen memory in order to achieve the ability to remember everything at a glance.

With this memory, they can rise from mediocrity to the level of talent.

"Finally, the six of you will have half an hour of question time each day."

"Let's set the time at dusk every day."

Then Fuget went to do his own thing with an expressionless face. In fact, Fuget also had teaching tasks, and the content of teaching was some basic theoretical knowledge of the Sulun School.

However, in Fugate's opinion, as long as these guys are given intelligence development potions, it would not be difficult for them to learn all the basic theoretical knowledge of several years in two days.

Therefore, they did not take these things seriously at all. While Fugate was busy, several students looked for some of Fugate's brain science works in the library area and began to copy them in blank notebooks.

The international student Hetala breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, the expressionless professor Fuget put too much pressure on her.

Her maids were only allowed to stay in the garden and the kitchen and were not allowed to enter the experimental area or other areas, so she had no one to talk to.

Fortunately, the instructor's H emotion suppressant was very magical. It made her seem to have no distracting thoughts and her attention was more focused, so her learning efficiency was quite good.

The international student Hetala was very lucky. The first book she found was the one the teacher mentioned, a book that introduced how to build one's own memory palace. Some of the knowledge about consciousness and memory in the book made the international student Hetala very confused, but the description of how to build a memory palace was also quite detailed.

After eliminating the interference of her own emotions and with the help of the remaining intelligence development potion, the foreign student Hetala actually got started very quickly. All she needs to do now is to deepen her understanding in order to completely master this magical ability.

The others also gained something, most of which was the strengthening of their memory and logical ability.

Two months later, several students who had completed this year's assessment ahead of schedule gathered together. "I never thought that the courses at Sipandama Academy would be so easy." Hetala couldn't help but sigh after reading her textbooks.

"You have to thank your mentor for this. Without your mentor's teaching and training, your learning ability, memory and logical ability would not have been improved so much." Xia Mian said.

“I can only say that he is worthy of being a master.” Kuru also sighed.

Batu scratched his head and said, "Do you want some sugar water?"

"Give me a drink." Almost everyone said.

It is good to study with tutor Fugate, and the learning efficiency is incredibly high, but there is also a disadvantage, which is that the cost of money also increases.

They don't have to spend money on the various potions given by Teacher Fgate, but they need to spend more money on their food, otherwise they will not be able to keep up with the consumption of their brains.

Recently, Hetala and Sameer have started to reduce the frequency of their makeup in order to save money and eat better.

Batu's family lived near the Health Home. His father was a scholar and doctor of the Life Theory School, and his mother was the daughter of a large landowner nearby. Therefore, his family was relatively wealthy and could often bring them some sugar, such as the current sugar water.

Batu actually feels a little regretful now, because he learned through asking Teacher Fuget that the so-called intelligence development potion has actually completed animal experiments, and even Teacher Fuget himself has conducted human experiments on himself.

So Batu felt a little guilty, but the tutor didn't need anything, so Batu could only make up to a few classmates.

Sugar water is the most common means. Although sugar water may seem inconspicuous, Batu and other students consume a lot of it every day to replenish their brains.

"Have you learned how to prepare low-level concentration potions?" Baanka asked. "I have recently mastered how to prepare low-level concentration potions. As long as I go to the Health Home to complete the certification, I can sell potions."

Baanka, who comes from a small merchant family, always likes to earn Mora and is quite flamboyant.

Kuru, who came from a family of small vendors in the Grand Bazaar, is better than him in this respect. Although he also likes Mora, he is very low-key.

"Of course I have learned it, but if we have that much time, we might as well learn more knowledge. We haven't finished reading all the books in the teacher's collection." Hetala said, "By the way, Sameer, what are you busy with recently?"

"I'm helping the caravans in the village refine improved versions of sober potions, low-level concentration potions, and H-emotion suppression potions." Samel said, "The mercenaries and guards have a big demand for these potions, and those shops..."

Sameer actually wanted to help the village save money.

The shops had marked up the prices of all kinds of things they sold to the desert people several times, especially those unscrupulous merchants in Kawanyi, who even sold inferior products. The few of them knew something about this, so they all fell silent after thinking about it.

"Xia Mian, how are you doing recently?" Everyone changed the subject.

"The situation in the Hall of Silence is pretty good. What we lack here are high-end potions. Several elders are very interested in the mentor's intelligence development potions. I heard that they are planning to purchase some so that they can listen to more teachings from Lord Hermanubis." Xiamian said.

Batu scratched his head and said, "But didn't the instructor say it's not finished yet?"

"Don't drink it until you finish it." Xia Mian rolled his eyes.

Batu laughed awkwardly twice and then stopped talking.

"What do you think the teacher is doing today?" Kuru asked.

"Maybe he's practicing swordsmanship." Xia Mian said, "Or maybe he's developing elemental power. It's said that after the teacher obtained the Eye of God, he often took time to develop elemental power."

"Oh~ I wish I could use elemental power. The added benefit of elemental power to alchemical experiments is really huge." Hetala said.

"It's more beneficial for physical training." Samel said, "But the Eye of God is too rare, and the Eredal weapon is too dangerous... Alas~"

"Let's go to the Grand Bazaar today." Kuru suggested, "It's a good opportunity to relax. There's a song and dance performance today."

"Speaking of which, this year's [Flower God's Birthday] is about to begin. That's the birthday of the Lord Tree King." Xia Mian said.

The people of the Temple of Silence have great respect for the Tree King, so every year they send people to participate in the [Birthday of the Flower God] and distribute Yalda candies to the civilians of Xumi City.

"I've never seen such a festival before. By the way, can we meet Lord Tree King on that day?" asked the international student Hetala excitedly.

······
Fuget did not develop elemental powers, nor did he practice swordsmanship.

After bathing and meditating, he activated the system's prayer function, preparing a total of sixty-six draws this time.

The first prayer was for thirty-six draws, and Fugate prayed for brain science.

I got a bunch of one-star miscellaneous items from "Earth OL" and ordinary two-star brain science books. Many of them were even duplicates of previous gains, but there were also a few more interesting gains.

[Legitimate Mnemonic]: A three-star spell note from the world of "Hermione and Her Two Useless Men". After learning it, you can obtain the three-star spell Legilimency, which captures the trajectory of brain activity and peeks into the hidden memories.

[Occlumency]: A three-star spell note from the world of "Hermione and Her Two Useless Men". After learning it, you can obtain the three-star spell Occlumency, which blocks the thoughts in the brain from being detected and can also suppress your own emotions.

[Pensieve]: A three-star magic device from the world of "Hermione and Her Two Useless Men" that can export memories from one's brain and save thoughts and memories in the mind.

[Intelligence Enhancer]*3: A three-star potion from the world of "Hermione and Her Two Useless Men". As the name suggests, it can slightly increase IQ.

When Fugate got it, he had already conducted a preliminary analysis. As for this so-called intelligence enhancer, the ingredients of the drug are not important. What is important is the magic power contained in the drug. That thing is the key to the effectiveness of the intelligence enhancer.

Fgate tasted one bottle and stored the remaining potion in the system's time-still warehouse, ready for later research.

The second prayer consists of thirty draws, eighteen of which are for knowledge of rituals.

Fuget gained a lot from this. After all, it was new knowledge that he had never been exposed to before, so it was all useful to Fuget.

Although most of them are one- or two-star books, there are also some relatively precious books and knowledge.

[Detailed Explanation of Ritual Magic]: A three-star book from an unknown magic world, which records a large amount of ritual magic. After learning it, you will gain the three-star ability - Ritual Mastery.

[Ceremony of Deification]: A four-star knowledge from an unknown divine world, recording the ceremony for mortals to become gods.

The remaining twelve draws were made at random, and I got a few interesting things.

[Synesthesia Beacon]*6: A four-star high-tech artifact from "Honkai Impact 56rd", invented by Elijah Salas, member # of the "Genius Club", discovered, reproduced and popularized by the Polyscience Society, and produced by the Interstellar Peace Corporation. It can connect perceptions, automatically convert and process and restore internal language.

[Thousand-Armed Compassionate Medicine King’s Savior]: A two-star book from “Honkai Impact 3rd: Celestial Railroad”, which records and praises the great Compassionate Medicine King.

[The principle of "longevity"]: A three-star book from "Honkai Impact 3rd", Dan Shu's research on the principle of "longevity". After learning it, there is a chance to comprehend the three-star prescription · Longevity Medicine, the three-star prescription · Dragon's Coil and Snake's Leap, the two-star prescription · Dust-Returning Pill, and the two-star prescription · Longevity Medicine.

Of course, it would be better if there weren’t weird things like [Dan Shu’s eye mask], [Dan Shu’s black stockings], and [Dan Shu’s jade number].

The random appearance of these miscellaneous items also made Fugate speechless.

Fuget seriously suspected that the six strands of lottery power formed a group to steal Dan Shu's house.

Fuget destroyed the debris, then placed various books in the study, and then used various knowledge directly. Of course, Fuget did not let go of the last synesthesia beacon.

The synesthesia beacon helps Forget learn other languages ​​more efficiently.

This is very important for the ceremony that Fugate is about to prepare.

That's right, with the help of the system, Fugate already had some ideas about his next ceremony.

However, this requires too many things to be accomplished by one person. Fortunately, Fugate gave himself enough time.

And after learning the ritual, he can first liberate more of his essence through a ritual and enter the next stage, which is the stage of being awake for six hours a day.

Now he can only stay awake for thirty-six minutes a day, which is not enough for Fugate, who has a lot of subjects and projects.
