Wizard Immortal

Chapter 74 Pharmaceutics

Several days later, in a classroom in the college's teaching area.

"Alright, that concludes today's lesson."

Standing on the platform in front, Adir glanced at the sky outside, calculated the time, and spoke to the apprentices in front of him.

In front of him, several apprentices were sitting in the seats below, each with a serious expression on their face. Upon hearing Adir's words, they all stood up.

"In addition, according to the tutoring program's regulations, your three-day free trial period has expired. If you want to continue tutoring, you will have to pay tuition."

Looking at the apprentices opposite him, Adir said to them, "Of course, if you are not satisfied with my guidance, you can choose to give up this mission and find someone else to guide you."

"You're joking."

Ahead, upon hearing Adir's words, a handsome young man dressed in white embroidered robes sighed: "If even someone of your caliber cannot satisfy us, then I'm afraid no one will be willing to accept this mission."

"We have no doubt about your teaching ability; this is the tutoring fee for your mission."

The young man showed a hint of respect, took out a few magic stones from his waist, and handed them to Adir: "The formal force field tutoring consists of nine lessons. There are seven of us in the class, so it costs three magic stones in total."

"Yes, the price is very reasonable."

Adir took the magic stone and replied, "The nine lessons will last for nine days. Let's set the specific time for this time each day."

"As for now, I have some things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

He calculated the time, said something to the apprentices in front of him, and then hurriedly left.

Watching Adir's departing figure, the handsome young man leading the group sighed, "He's really amazing. I heard that he's only been in the academy for less than a year, and he's already reached this level."

"It's one thing to advance to a first-class apprentice level through meditation in just six months, but I never expected him to have such a strong grasp of advanced knowledge as well."

Speaking of this, the other apprentices present also looked impressed and deeply moved.

As fellow wizard apprentices at the same stage of learning, they were well aware of the difficulty of mastering advanced knowledge. Even with sufficient talent and effort, it would normally take more than half a year of accumulation and study to master an advanced subject.

The people present were all from wizarding families who had the support of them. They had received a good wizarding education from a young age and enjoyed various resources. They had also been in the academy for quite some time, with the shortest one having been there for a year or two. However, compared to Adir's learning progress, they were still far behind and not even in the same league.

This is no longer a matter of learning and hard work, but an absolute difference in talent.

"It's a pity that with such good aptitude and talent, there is no good family to support him."

As Adir's figure gradually disappeared, a gray-robed apprentice spoke up, his tone tinged with regret but also with a hint of schadenfreude: "With the talent and potential he has shown, which family wouldn't nurture him as their heir? But he was born into a dilapidated family in a remote corner of the countryside, which has only hindered his talent."

"No matter how talented he is, without the support of his family, he will definitely be hampered by resources after reaching the third-level apprentice level, and he probably won't even be able to gather the things needed to advance to a formal wizard."

On the path of a wizard, knowledge is important, but resources are equally indispensable. This is not obvious before becoming a third-class apprentice, but it becomes apparent after that.

To advance to the rank of a formal wizard, in addition to the necessary knowledge accumulation, a large amount of resources are also indispensable. Without these resources, even a fourth-grade aptitude will have a much lower chance of advancement.

"Not necessarily."

Hearing his companion's words, the handsome young man shook his head and said, "What we can see, others can naturally see as well. Putting aside everything else, the talent he's currently displaying is enough to attract the attention of many people."

"As long as he is willing to make concessions, there are plenty of people willing to invest in him. After all, a genius with fourth-grade aptitude has a 50% chance of being promoted as long as the resources to help him advance are in place."

"Indeed." A blonde girl who had been silent suddenly spoke up, her eyes burning with intensity: "Did you notice those features he had?"

"My elders are quite familiar with Lord Asila, who is in charge of registering new students. According to some information revealed by them, Adir is very likely a rare half-elf."

"A half-elf!!" A gasp of surprise rang out from the surrounding crowd.

Upon hearing this news, the female apprentices' eyes lit up simultaneously.

"I see. If he is a half-elf, then his terrifying talent can be explained. After all, the chances of a genius emerging from among half-elves are much higher."

Upon hearing this news, the white-robed youth's eyes lit up: "If the news is true, then he won't need to worry about future resources at all. He just needs to spread the word, and plenty of wizarding families will be willing to marry into his family. He won't even need to marry into the family; as long as he leaves behind his bloodline, that will be enough."

Those around him, listening to his words, wore thoughtful expressions.

···········

As he walked toward the academy, Adir was unaware that he had become the focus of the other apprentices' conversations, and instead seemed to be in a hurry.

"Master Edith's garden hasn't been tended to for a day, so I'll need to make time to go there again later. I also have a basic pharmacology class this afternoon, which I absolutely must attend. Besides, it's almost time for my appointment with Esis, so I have to go to the underground market tonight."

As he walked along the road, Adir hurried on his way while planning his next journey.

Since accepting the academy's mission, Adir has felt that he has less and less time, and almost every minute of his time is tightly scheduled.

As Professor Edith's apprentice, he was responsible for assisting with experiments when needed, as well as handling materials and tending the garden. After accepting the task of patrolling the academy, he spent five or six hours a day in the field, and also tutored other apprentices at noon.

With such a heavy workload, he also needed to take care of his studies, including daily classes, research, and meditation, leaving him with almost no time to rest.

Such a arduous journey was only for Adir; anyone else would definitely not be able to handle it.

After quickly traversing a fairly long journey, taking advantage of the little free time at noon, Adir first went to his mentor Edith's lab to help with some tasks before heading to the teaching area to prepare for class.

Hurriedly walking to the classroom, Adir found that the number of apprentices around him seemed to be quite large, even more than he had imagined.

Before I could think any further, a figure dressed in a black robe slowly walked out of the gate.

He was thin, with deep wrinkles on his face, making him look very old, but his expression was somewhat cold.

As the old man in black robes appeared, a voice from the chip suddenly sounded in Adir's mind, alerting him that the radiation concentration around him had instantly reached the official level.

"It was actually taught personally by a formal wizard."

Upon hearing the chip's prompt, Adir was slightly startled and couldn't help but look at the black-robed wizard in front of him.

Whether they are wizards or wizarding apprentices, they absorb external energy particles during meditation, thus filling themselves with various terrifying high-energy radiations. The more powerful the wizard, the stronger the radiation emanating from them.

During his time at the academy, through extensive recording, Adir categorized the radiation emitted by wizards into different levels based on its intensity, with the "formal level" referring to the level of a formal wizard.

"Very good, just as I expected, there are many new faces."

Under the watchful eyes of the many students below, the black-robed wizard spoke in a hoarse voice: "I am Seymora, you may call me Instructor Seymora. I hope that next time I come to teach, I will see more familiar faces."

After saying this, he walked over to the lecture hall and began the formal lecture.

As the lecture officially began, Adir perked up and started listening attentively.

After a while, as the instructor continued his lecture, some of the apprentices around Adir began to freeze, clearly struggling to keep up.

Even Adir frowned occasionally while listening to the lecture, clearly encountering some difficulties as well.

"The basic courses in pharmacy already cover this much knowledge; no wonder pharmacy is considered one of the most difficult subjects to master."

As Adir listened to the instructor's lecture, his expression turned somewhat grim, and he thought to himself, "This is what I'm thinking."

Logically speaking, while studying pharmaceutics is difficult, the basics shouldn't be too challenging.

Indeed, this is true. In terms of learning difficulty alone, although the study of basic pharmacy is relatively difficult, it is still manageable.

The real challenge lies in the breadth of knowledge involved in pharmaceutics.

In just over an hour, the lectures given by the instructors covered knowledge from at least seven or eight disciplines, including some advanced topics that were quite overwhelming.

In other words, if you want to understand this lesson, you must first master all the subjects involved, which will require an enormous amount of effort.

This is just the basics; the difficulty of learning will likely be much more terrifying in the later stages.

Thinking of this, Adir couldn't help but sigh, and began to understand why wizards who mastered potion-making were so rare.
