Fanatics of the Magic Academy

Rose sat in the tent and began to sing:

"Wind! Spread outwards, with me as the center!"

With Rose's location as the origin, his perception of airflow was greatly enhanced.

As long as air exists, his perception can extend.

However, this kind of perception can only detect the air itself and cannot obtain any useful information.

"Weave a network, attach to ordinary objects, sense vibrations, establish resonance, and converge upon me!"

Centered on Rose, invisible, minute air currents spread outwards, weaving into a net-like structure.

This "net" is similar to ultrasound, but far more penetrating.

Because ultrasound senses vibrations, while Rosette senses the air itself.

The "net" clung to the rain, to the walls, to the streets.

Then the information is transmitted back to Rossellini at a specific frequency.

"Filter, translate!"

"[Wind Network Sensing]!"

The messy, meaningless information was filtered out, and the remaining information was processed into a form that Rose's brain could understand.

In Rose's brain, a colorless image appeared.

His attention was focused on a particular point on the map, and his perception instantly sharpened to the air in that vicinity.

That part became exceptionally clear in Rose's mind.

Raindrops are falling, water is flowing, and trash is floating around.

This feeling was similar to his soul being extracted and left to float in the air.

As the air drifts, I observe.

His perception drifted with the internet, and he came to the edge of perception.

"The area is roughly a circle with a radius of about 700 meters centered on me."

At that moment, he sensed that the presence of living beings was dissipating from a certain spot.

His senses moved closer; inside was a dilapidated tent, and a homeless man was lying inside.

The zipper was undone, water seeped into the tent, and the cardboard and clothes underneath were completely soaked.

He was almost completely submerged in water, yet he was completely unaware of it, and according to the message from the wind, he was smiling.

Rose quickly spotted the small bag floating inside the tent, and he soon figured everything out.

The homeless man got high on drugs and forgot to set up his tent, so he just lay there unconscious.

Soon, as he was immersed in water, his body temperature rapidly decreased, and he eventually lost all vitality while hallucinating.

Rose thought of the old homeless man; if Rose had given him the vial of enhancer today, he might very well have died like this.

Rose felt a throbbing pain in his head; he knew his concentration was running out.

He deactivated [Wind Network Sensing].

At this point, his focus level had dropped to only 2 points.

He roughly calculated that activating the [Wind Network Sensing] would take 7 points and would last for about 20 minutes.

This means that 8 points of focus can be maintained for 20 minutes, which means that approximately 1 point of focus can be maintained for 1 minutes.

Rose thought of the homeless man's body she had sensed earlier.

"I can use this magic to sense corpses and make money by selling them."

These past two days, Rose has been thinking about how to get more money.

Because his [Ancient Dragon Meditation] needs food to nourish it in order to function better and accelerate his development.

It can help him quickly improve his focus and get started on the next step.

But now this magic has given him another possibility: in the slums, there are homeless people living in all sorts of remote places.

Not all homeless people have tents; many of them live in sewers and toilets.

Or perhaps they made a makeshift bed out of rags in a tree in a remote place.

The mortality rate among homeless people who don't even have tents is extremely high.

Even if there are tents, many people get high and die inside them. You wouldn't know if anyone was there unless you opened the tent.

The perception provided by [Wind Network Perception] allows him to quickly collect information about corpses.

In this way, by selling corpses,

With virtually no place to hire child laborers like him and no access to social welfare systems,

He can also obtain funds for rapid development.

With this thought in mind, Rose breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a weight lifted from her shoulders and a sense of peace.

He put on his raincoat, opened the tent, and went outside.

It was completely dark by then, and the rain was still pouring down.

Based on Rose's experience, it's common for this kind of rain to last for a day or two.

He planned to sell the homeless man's body.

It's very simple. That homeless man's tent is open, and it will definitely be discovered by tomorrow during the day.

A person lying motionless in the water doesn't look like they're asleep at all.

Rose thought about the places Hans had recommended for collecting corpses, and the closest one at the moment...

It's a special team from a magic academy that collects corpses here.

Rose recalled the address Hans had given him and waded through the water toward that place.

Soon, Rose arrived at the place. The lights were still on, and judging from the shadows and sounds she could make from the windows, the people inside were playing cards.

"Bang bang bang!"

Rose knocked on the door and then took two steps back to wait.

After hearing this, a voice inside said:

"Joel, go see who it is."

Then, the sound of footsteps approaching came from afar.

The door opened, and a man in a white vest stood inside; he appeared to be in his early twenties.

She has clearly groomed blonde hair and blue eyes.

He looked down at the child in the cheap raincoat, frowned, and said:

"Kid, this isn't an orphanage, you've come to the wrong place."

Rose raised her head and explained in her childish voice:

"Brother, I found a corpse. I heard you guys do recycling here."

The man in the vest sized up Rose, when another man's voice came from inside the room.

"Joel, who is that?"

The man in the vest turned around and replied:

"It's a kid. He said he found a corpse."

A man wearing a trench coat walked over and peeked out to look at Rose.

He has slightly curly brown hair and a meticulously groomed beard. He spoke about the Luo racetrack:

"Hey kid, you said you found a corpse, what did it look like?"

Rose responded:

"A drug addict who forgot to pull up the tent after taking performance-enhancing drugs is lying motionless in the water; he must be dead!"

The man in the trench coat patted the man in the vest on the shoulder and said:

"It seems to be true. Joel, you should go with him."

The man in the vest nodded and gave Luo some instructions on the racetrack:

"Kid, wait here for me a bit, I'm going to change my clothes."

Then, he turned and went inside. A moment later, he came out wearing a raincoat and pulling a small cart, looking down at Luo Sai.

"Lead the way, kid."

Rose nodded, then led the man in the vest, Joel, through a maze of turns, to the location of the corpse he had sensed earlier.

Joel looked at the homeless man lying in the water, nodded, and said:

"Yes, given how he's become, he's definitely not going to survive."

He glanced around at the narrow alleys and abandoned garbage dumps in the vicinity:

"This place is really out of the way, it's amazing you managed to find it."

Rose responded:

"A kid like me can only survive in remote places like this."

Joel asked:

Where are your parents?

"He's dead."
