Chinese professors at the Wizarding Academy

Seeing Jim recite every word of the Star Law perfectly, Gu Chen couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

With this kind of learning attitude, Jim will definitely succeed!

Obtaining the resolution point is a natural progression!

Now that Jim has grasped the basics of the "Star Law," let's proceed with the teaching!

Continue applying pressure to trigger the talent "Unwavering Will"!

"Teacher, am I right...?"

Although Gu Chen was very happy inside, his expression was completely hidden in the dim light of the room, which made it impossible for Jim to see clearly. He could only continue to feel the pressure from the silence.

"right."

Jim was about to be overjoyed upon hearing the words of affirmation...!

"But that's not right!"

This surprised Jim again. Was this right or wrong?

"You're right because you actually memorized it!"

"But are you satisfied with just memorizing it? Why can't you learn it directly after memorizing it?"

Gu Chen's tone was stern, and his eyes exuded a sense of authority.

"Teacher, I...I only have one night..."

Jim looked extremely aggrieved.

"Still making excuses!?"

"Think about it yourself. If someone with your low talent has to work hard at night, what will you do if those with more talent work even harder?"

At Gray Tower Academy, there's no such thing as "too hardworking," only "harder-working!"

People who are better than you often work even harder than you!

Gu Chen came up to Jim and took Jim's hand.

"What are you doing? Are you smug about it just because you memorized something simple?!"

"No, it's not..."

[Resilient Will Has Been Triggered]

Jim was already drenched in sweat and breathing rapidly. Under Gu Chen's barrage of questions, he finally couldn't withstand the pressure.

At this moment, a dark blue light screen appeared before Gu Chen, conveying the message he wanted to see...

Everything is going according to plan.

"Jim, the teacher is only doing this for your own good!"

Gu Chen gently pulled Jim's arm, which was holding Jim's hand, to the edge of the bed, finding him a quiet and soft spot, and then had Jim sit down.

"teacher……"

"Jim, you can't stop. You still have a lot to learn."

"I'm asking you, do you want to live? Do you want to see the people you love? Do you want to have good food and a warm house every day?"

Once the talent was confirmed to be triggered, Gu Chen would no longer put pressure on Jim. He really didn't like doing that. Since the talent had been triggered, he would guide him patiently and try to improve Jim's learning efficiency as much as possible.

Gu Chen still prefers a gentler teaching style; applying pressure is a forced, individualized approach.

"Yes……"

"Then listen to the teacher."

"You just memorized it, which is very good, but the reason why the teacher criticized you so harshly is quite simple."

"Saying it a hundred times is not as good as doing it once."

Gu Chen released Jim's hand, bent down, and looked directly at the blond child.

"Now, try it yourself based on what you just memorized!"

Jim was clearly taken aback when he heard the order. Was he really going to be asked to do it?

You see, although he was illiterate and couldn't read documents, he had seen how other freshmen did things. Some kind-hearted ones would occasionally beat him up and then tell him how to use the "Starry Sky Technique".

But I tried it myself and couldn't light up even a single star. There was absolutely no hope of success!

"Ah, ah, me?"

"Impossible teacher, no, impossible!"

If Jim felt pressured by the words just now, the order now made him feel ashamed and inferior.

How could that be possible!

"No, Jim, you can do it!"

"Think back to yesterday, didn't you successfully concentrate your mental energy?"

"There was no Star Magic, nothing at all; you simply concentrated your attention and successfully condensed it!"

Gu Chen encouraged Jim, his words filled with encouragement. He knew, of course, that it would be very difficult for Jim to use the Star Technique with his sixth-rank talent, but now it was different; Jim's talent had been triggered!

"Give it a try!"

"No……"

The blond child looked small and thin next to the stern-faced black-haired wizard, his eyes filled with timidity and his words revealing his inferiority complex.

However, Gu Chen couldn't let Jim feel inferior. He was determined to teach Jim the Starry Sky Technique, firstly so that he could gain analytical points through teaching and learning, and secondly so that Jim could realize that he was capable of doing it!

"This is what the teacher requires, do it!"

"...I...I'll try!"

Finally, under Gu Chen's increasingly forceful command, Jim agreed.

After Jim confirmed it, the cabin immediately fell silent.

Although it's noon now, the weather at Gray Tower Academy is always gloomy. Only in the early morning, when the sun has just risen, can you feel the sunlight. At other times of the day, apart from the colors, it's no different from night.

The difference is that one is a dark gray, and the other is a slightly shiny gray.

The cabin was warm, and the old-fashioned wooden walls blocked the cold wind. Gu Chen remained silent, even deliberately slowing down his breathing to keep quiet.

A quiet environment is needed for meditation...

Gu Chen's index finger bled slightly, the blood trickling down his body to the door and windows of the wooden house, sealing them off.

With the lockdown completed, not even the faintest breeze could penetrate the house.

The door to the wooden cabin was silently sewn shut behind them with blood-stained thread. The air was filled with the scent of wood left by time, and an indescribable silence remained inside, as if some force had absorbed all sound.

"call……"

Jim took a deep breath. He was still worried and scared, but with the teacher's encouragement and command, he finally made up his mind to give it a try.

The teacher was right... He couldn't even concentrate his spiritual power once before, but after coming to the teacher, he successfully did it!

Jim felt a pressure looming over him, not from the need to survive, but from his teacher's expectations and his own expectations of himself.

Following the "Basic Meditation Method" he had memorized, Jim made his first attempt.

He adjusted his posture, climbed onto the bed covered with linen sheets. Although it wasn't very comfortable, it was much better than the cold floor. Then he sat down cross-legged.

"Basic Meditation Method: Visualize your inner universe, illuminate the stars of your spirit, and build a stable orbit..."

Jim closed his eyes and silently recited the introductory points to himself once more.

This is his first formal meditation. Whether he can successfully light up the first "star" will determine whether he can take a solid first step on the path of a wizard.
