Chinese professors at the Wizarding Academy

"finally."

Gu Chen has completed the arrangement of the 101 stars, which represent his 101 points of spiritual power.

Based on my observations of the starry sky above my head, I have tried my best to imitate the wonders of nature. Although I cannot achieve a one-to-one replica, it is the best I can do so far.

"After modifying my mental star trajectory according to the 'Star Observation Method,' I clearly felt that the difficulty of concentrating mental power had been reduced."

"Now I just need to keep repeating the process of the creation of the universe in my mind, and deduce it along the existing gravity. It seems that I can naturally find those spiritual points that have not been successfully condensed."

Gu Chen felt pleased. After mastering this method, not only did condensing spiritual power become easier, but once he successfully condensed it, the star track would naturally and quickly connect.

Furthermore, he could feel that his perception of magic was now significantly more acute, and he seemed to generate an attraction that would naturally draw the magic floating in the air into his body.

"Splash..."

Gu Chen slightly raised his hand, and a thin line of blood spread across his arm. He then extended the bloodline onto the door frame and window, making it very inconspicuous, but Gu Chen could detect it upon touch.

A small, subtle trap.

He could clearly sense that the magic power he was using for casting spells had decreased further. After mastering the perfect level of blood absorption, his magic power consumption for casting spells was already very low, and now, with the optimized mental control, the consumption was even lower!

Not only that, his magic power was immediately replenished by the magic power in the air after being depleted by casting a spell.

"call……"

Gu Chen let out a soft breath. Although it wasn't quite the time when the clouds parted and the moon shone through, it was still a time of hope and a future.

Although he still possesses the talent of a sixth-rank star, he is no longer one of those useless individuals who spend several days or even a month just to condense a little bit of spiritual power.

"Next, we will proceed with the talent upgrade ceremony."

"However, my current state is extremely mentally exhausted... I'm afraid that upgrading at this moment would only cause me great harm."

"Maybe I really need to rest for a while."

He glanced at Jim on the bed; the blond boy was fast asleep, and Gu Chen hadn't slept in a long time either.

Once the task at hand was temporarily completed, a deep-seated weariness washed over him. Gu Chen wanted to enjoy this rare moment of relaxation, letting his consciousness be consumed by exhaustion.

He leaned back in his chair, finally getting a rare moment of rest.

"Just two hours of sleep..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Chen had already drifted off into a sweet dream...

"teacher."

"..."

"teacher!"

"Ah, ah... Ken?"

Gu Chen had never dreamed in his life, and it seemed that this continued after he came to the wizarding world; he had never dreamed.

So when Gu Chen opened his eyes and found himself not facing a dimly lit sky and an old wooden table, he realized he was dreaming.

The bald man in front of him further confirmed that he was dreaming.

Yes, it is.

"What brings you here? What do you need me for?"

Gu Chen was naturally surprised. According to the teacher-student contract, Ken only needed to come and treat him to a meal once a week at most, and there was nothing else that needed to be strictly observed.

Upon seeing Ken, Gu Chen also remembered something. Ever since they parted ways in the private room of the cafeteria that day, "Enshi" talent had not heard any news about Ken, as if he had really given up and done nothing.

"Teacher, do you still remember the Antinonia family?"

"I know. You mentioned before that several members of their family are still at Gray Tower Academy, seeking revenge?"

Upon hearing the name Antinoya, Gu Chen was no longer surprised.

One of the conditions for defeating Ken was that he had to tell him about the Antinonia family.

"Yes, teacher, you guessed right, that's amazing."

"...I haven't offended anyone in this lousy academy. In fact, it's been two days before someone came looking for revenge. It's really...tame."

Gu Chen frowned. Although it was expected, the feeling of having the problem in front of him was still unpleasant.

Fortunately, I had just finished analyzing the "Basic Meditation Method," mastered the "Star Gazing Method," and perfected the blood absorption spell.

Although it is still a low-level first-tier ring, it still has some ability to protect itself.

At worst, we can go out and earn some magic stone fragments, then take Jim and hide in a private room in the cafeteria.

That chef's skill level is at least second-tier!

"No, teacher, you've misunderstood."

"Jobeck Antinonia, the young patriarch of the Antinonia family, asked me to arrange a meeting with you."

"He said he would like to get to know you and wondered if you had time to have a casual meal together on Aldebaran, which is the sixth day of this week. He also attached a Black Forest entry permit."

"And to express his apologies for the disruption to your schedule, Mr. Chobeck has also included an additional 10 magic stone fragments with the license."

He would like to invite you to the Black Forest Open Day every Bishub, to hunt monsters together and strengthen your friendship.

Gu Chen was still thinking about how to hide and run away when Ken's words left him completely stunned.

"I don't really understand the intricacies of noble relationships, but to put it bluntly, I killed their young lady, and that person still wants to invite me to the Black Forest and even sends me an invitation?"

"This license requires a full ten magic stone fragments!"

"And there are an extra ten magic stone fragments? That's like receiving a gift worth 20 magic stone fragments."

Ken's expression was one of utter helplessness in the face of Gu Chen's question.

"Teacher, I'm just relaying what you said. It's part of the contract. Logically, I should have accompanied Mr. Joebeck to visit you tomorrow, but in the end, he decided to respect your choice. So I just went along with it, fulfilling both my commission and the contract. Let's talk about it tonight."

"…………".

What is this person trying to do?

This situation was somewhat perplexing. Why would someone whose family member had been killed so calmly invite me to dinner and even send me an invitation?

That's obviously ill-intentioned.

Gu Chen certainly knew the simplest way to deal with a wary opponent: invite him out for dinner or a meeting.

And it's probably the same now; I might get ambushed on the way there.

Ultimately, the reason I knew the terrain a bit was because I was in my own cabin. But if I were to go to the meeting alone, it would be too dangerous if I knew nothing about it.

"it is good."

But Gu Chen still agreed.

Just kidding, it's ten magic stone fragments!

I only have one piece left. If I don't take it, Jim won't be able to get food with his current material status. I don't want the child to starve to death.

The Black Forest permit is very valuable, and I definitely need it.

As for keeping the appointment...

Gu Chen wasn't worried at all.

The talent upgrade ceremony is about to take place. Upgrading talents requires not only blood but also some medicinal herbs. If you don't want to spend a lot of money to buy these herbs within the academy, you will need to go to the Black Forest to obtain them yourself.

"Tomorrow is Aldebaran, which is the fourth day of the week. There are still two days until the appointment."

"I'll use the permit to go directly into the Black Forest to hunt and obtain materials tomorrow. Even if you have any plans, I can avoid them in advance."
