Fanatics of the Magic Academy

Thus, Rose continued her life of going back and forth between two points.

Continue practicing the remaining spells to improve your proficiency, and try to learn them as soon as possible.

This time, he didn't even go to the soup kitchen; he relied on the money he had saved from selling corpses.

Go to the supermarket and buy some near-expiry meat to boost the mana regeneration of [Ancient Dragon Meditation].

He found a secluded place to practice magic and increase his magic proficiency.

Furthermore, before practicing, he would repeatedly use [Wind Network Perception] to confirm whether there were any people around.

Better safe than sorry.

And so, Rose spent four days frantically and relentlessly grinding through the game.

Finally, he finished learning the remaining four spells that Kenneth had taught him.

They are [Storm Blade], [Bombardment], [Whirlwind], and [Fireball].

【Stormblade】 is a first-level enchantment spell in the Storm tree, somewhat similar to 【Transform into Cloud】.

It involves wrapping a wind blade around a weapon, or even around your hand, to increase sharpness, reduce wind resistance, and lighten the weapon's weight.

Most importantly, it can launch the wind blades wrapped around the weapon, creating an effect similar to "sword energy".

Isn't he handsome!

Then comes [Bombardment], similar to [Air Compression], which launches invisible wind projectiles.

However, its power is slightly less than that of [air compression].

The advantages are quick start-up, lower focus consumption (3 points), and, more importantly, the ability to release continuously.

Unlike [Air Compression], it doesn't require compressing air and has a long wind-up animation.

It can fire off like a machine gun, rapidly and violently, instantly wiping out your focus.

You can use it when you're about to be beaten to death; in your final moments, you'll be like a silkworm being squeezed and bursting into juice.

Having a bunch of skills means you won't die with unused focus, leaving you resentful in the afterlife.

【Whirlwind】is an area-of-effect (AOE) skill that releases a huge whirlwind by raising your hand, consuming 12 Focus.

Rose suggested that one could hide lime powder in their sleeve and then release it using this method.

It is said to cause regional blindness.

[Fireball] is just a normal fireball, nothing special, like an apple, it's a pretty boring spell.

Rose's assessment is that it's not as good as a single [Cyclic Fireball].

Then, in the back of Kenneth's notes, it was discovered that this thing was designed to be compatible with most storm magic.

You could easily compress another fireball using air compression, and then you could make a hand grenade.

Rose tried it out and found that it was quite powerful; one shot could blast someone to pieces.

I'm sorry, sir, I didn't recognize you before.

Apples are great! They're so nutritious. An apple a day keeps the doctor away.

This thing is much more effective than fancy storm magic.

Furthermore, this fireball spell can also be released along with the [Whirlwind].

Then it turned into a whirlwind of fire, and now there was no need to blind anyone; the enemies within range were all scalded and screaming.

Sigh! Damn, I knew you were so capable!

It truly is a classic spell that every fantasy work containing magical elements must learn!

Rose's methods are becoming increasingly sophisticated.

It has melee combat, ranged combat, ultimate skills, area-of-effect attacks, and defense.

If you can't beat them, you can run away. [Transform into Clouds] is known as the mini [Vitality Inflow].

All the wind that surrounds you can be used to provide anti-gravity force.

With Rose's current strength and agility of 12, most people can't catch up with Rose.

Just kidding, even the best can't catch up.

How do these spells compare to the prayers of the Ancient Dragon Faith?

Rose himself didn't know, because although he was essentially a believer,

However, the world's suppression of believers is too severe.

He has only used [Vitality Flow] and [Electric Shock] so far.

Through only a few uses, Rose felt that the prayers of the Ancient Dragon faith were very effective.

There is a very direct sense of violence, as if it were a prayer for greater power and slaughter.

In addition to learning several spells, Rose's stats also increased.

Of course, currently, due to physical development, strength and agility cannot be increased further.

Limited by not advancing, his faith also didn't grow.

The main improvement was in four areas of focus.

These days I've been using [Gu Long Meditation] continuously and constantly replenishing my focus, almost completely depleting it.

Rose's concentration improved rapidly, increasing a little each day without any special attention.

Rose's focus level is now 52.

The panel remained the same, so Rose didn't bother to open it.

Now that the magic has been learned, the numerical growth has stopped.

Rose was thinking; now his concentration was also sufficient when using magic.

Maintaining daily materialistic consumption.

Should he reveal his potential or integrate into the social welfare system to achieve further development?

Objectively speaking, if Rose really wants to climb the social ladder, then socialization is inevitable.

To gain access to better educational resources, knowledge, a broader perspective, and more support.

However, from a subjective perspective, this Thunder World is too sinister.

Even with the support of a "fervent materialist," Rose was still apprehensive.

He decided to first gain a thorough understanding of the specific circumstances of this world.

For example, what exactly is the welfare system like, the risks and possible encounters after potential is exposed.

The fear is that if they are exposed, they will not only fail to obtain resources, but also end up on some magician's testing ground.

For now, the only person Rose can advise is Mason.

Don't be fooled by the fact that old Biden lives in a slum and is content to be a homeless man.

But judging from the sheer size of his book collection, Rose knew that this old man had a very deep understanding of the lower classes in society.

He only gave up when he was so desperate.

You can consult him later, but there's a problem: they haven't known each other for very long.

Although the two connected through Kenneth, they didn't build much trust with each other.

It is still in the initial observation stage between the two parties.

However, Rose felt this shouldn't be a problem, as he could clearly sense Mason's goodwill towards him.

Once the two have become more familiar with each other and built trust, Rose plans to consult him again.

"Sigh, if only Kenneth were still alive."

Roughken is definitely better at understanding the structure of upper-middle-class society than Mason, since Mason is only theoretical.

Rauken has truly experienced all of this; he has truly seen the world.

Rose packed up his things in the tent, then, carrying his books, he went to find Mason to return them.

After thinking for a moment, Rose went to the supermarket and bought some fruit and canned goods, intending to give them to Mason as a gift.

After all, when we were visiting Lao Ken's grave, the old man had just started taking the fruit as soon as it was placed on the table.

Rosell also catered to his preferences, since the books he gave were indeed useful, and he would need his help in the future.

And so, following his memory of Mason's tent, Rose carried the fruit and canned goods and headed to Mason's place.
