Magic High School.

"Take this umbrella, don't catch a cold." Li Ge stood directly in front of him and casually handed him the umbrella.

Then he left, looking on with an expression of bewilderment.

Within seconds, Li Ge sat back down in the milk tea shop, her clothes completely dry.

Luan Poye laughed, and when Li Ge picked up the milk tea, he found that his cup was already empty.

"I've finished it!" she said with great pride.

Li Ge: "..."

"Let's go home."

Li Ge didn't care anymore. After all, this was just her own territory, and everything here was constructed by her subconscious. The boy running in the rain, the cool guy sitting on the elevated Maybach, this world, and even the taste of this milk tea were all just constructs of her subconscious.

The two walked together in the rain, amidst the chaotic night, as if asking, "What kind of girl do you like?"

"Big boobs, right?" Li Ge replied casually.

"What if we disregard the fact that they have large breasts?"

Li Ge fell silent for a moment, as if revealing a mask of pain, and then quietly said, "I can't let go..."

"Forehead……"

The elbow strike landed on his waist, but it wasn't very forceful; it was more like a light bump.

"Hahaha." Luan Poye laughed, then left the umbrella's reach alone, splashing through the raindrops until he was soaked to the bone, before rushing home.

Li Ge: "..."

as long as you are happy.

Li Ge shrugged and slowly walked back. Then, he saw Luan Poye, who had changed her clothes. However, this time her look was completely different. She had found some black-rimmed glasses from somewhere and was no longer wearing her usual high ponytail. Instead, she had braided her hair into a plait.

"Hmm?" Li Ge asked in confusion.

"Don't you like this look?" Ranpo Ye said with a smile.

"How did you know?" Li Ge was speechless for a moment and put the umbrella away.

"Hmph, your computer... browsing history..."

“!” Li Ge immediately lost her composure.

A Maybach hurriedly drove back against traffic from the overpass outside the window, but neither of them paid any attention. At dinner, Li Ge noticed the silver ring on Luan Po Ye's left ring finger and was somewhat puzzled.

Is this the ring?

It seems so, or it seems like a diamond ring. Oh well, it's not a big deal anyway.

Having eaten and drunk his fill, Li Ge thought to himself that he might have to go to the underworld and torment Liu Ruyan in the second half of the game.

……

When he slowly opened his eyes, he saw that he was still on the sofa, as if he was still a little sleepy.

I don't even have a second half of the Red Stone Arena? Yay!

Xiaoye seemed to have just opened her eyes as well. She seemed a little dazed as she looked at Li Ge.

"Uh..." Li Ge was immediately embarrassed. He had originally intended to help Xiao Ye get started in her field, but inexplicably, he found himself spending a long time in his own field.

We're still in the surface world; we haven't even entered the inner world yet...

"So, how are you feeling?" Li Ge asked hurriedly.

"Not bad..." Xiaoye said slowly.

"So how is the dream you've created? Has it stabilized?" Li Ge knew that when the dream was first created, it was bizarre and varied. One second you might be in school, and the next you might be flying to Olympus and fighting with Zeus.

"Hmm, very stable..." Xiaoye's tone was very calm, even somewhat unnatural.

“That’s good. Let me tell you, this is the beginning of the field. This thing has been making a lot of noise at the Mysterious Academy lately. From what I understand, the school will probably let some students try it out soon.” Li Ge said, becoming quite talkative.

"Uh-huh……"

"Alright, you look a bit tired. Get some rest. Don't be impatient when you first start learning to control dreams; just take your time." Li Ge was somewhat pleased; Xiao Ye actually had the talent to master a domain.

Although it's a simplified introductory method, and it's not even an introductory method yet, probably just a stable dream state, Li Ge is already very pleased.

After all, as Abaddon said, the field of domain exploration is too exclusive, and it would be gratifying to have others explore it together.

He left in a hurry, planning to try it again after Valerie returned. It seemed that the concept of a domain was indeed somewhat superstitious; Li Ge didn't know why Yi Lian had woken up from a nightmare halfway through.

Next time, I'll try duo-queuing with him and see if I can help him get started.

And Valerie too, let's duo queue together and see what her potential is like.

Li Ge excitedly returned to his dormitory, but soon after, a pained expression appeared on his face as he prepared to head to the virtual arena. He was about to resume his training in the Red Stone of his inner world, and his goal for today was to eat four meals in a row…

As for Xiaoye, she still looked dazed, as if she was still recalling the dream she had just had.

"A domain... in its nascent stage?" she murmured, undone her hair, and then, inexplicably, braided it into a plait...

……

School, Vice Principal's Meeting Room.

The vice principal sat in the main seat, with his adjutant Juno beside him, and below him were all the school's senior officials.

"As you all know, Abaddon and Li Ge have developed a simplified approach to mastering domains, which is an excellent technology. I believe that even if we can't fully master a domain, just getting to the basics will greatly enhance our overall strength and even our mental fortitude, especially for the battle mages in the Noble Phantasm Department," said Vice Principal Moriarty.

All eyes turned to Abaddon in the center of the arena, and Abaddon held his head high, as arrogant as a demon.

Or rather, he's always been this arrogant.

"We old folks have all tried it out, and it's working. But we still need to see how it goes with the kids before we can determine which grade level is best for the introductory course. I suggest we do a small-scale pilot program, selecting outstanding students from each cohort for the introductory course. What do you all think?"

The vice principal offered his opinion.

In any case, the vice principal is now the head of the entire school; this is a tradition at magic high schools. After all, the principal himself needs to stabilize the World Tree, so the vice principal actually has the most say in the entire school.

However, old Moriarty liked to use puppet bodies, and it's unknown how many of his own puppets he controlled at the same time and how many things they were doing.

"agree."

"agree."

"agree."

Abaddon smiled, but said, "The freshman chief is my man. He has already mastered the domain and is just waiting to be released to the outside world. He can serve as a benchmark, and the rest doesn't matter."

And so, the matter was settled.

The school plans to conduct a small-scale pilot program with each cohort of students, and then gradually add introductory courses to the curriculum.

However, according to the school's speculation, even if the entry difficulty is reduced, it will probably only increase the entry difficulty of the field from one ten-thousandth to a few percent.

The denominator of this probability is still someone with extremely strong psychic talent who can enter a magic high school.

However, this represents a significant proportion for schools, making open-domain course hours imperative.

The problem now is, what age is the appropriate age for children to start learning this field? After all, the energy of psychic powers is too much of a burden for young children.

According to Abaddon, he gradually developed the rudiments of his dreams around the age of thirteen, and then completed the introductory domain after entering school at the age of sixteen.

However, Abaddon's experience can only serve as a reference, as he was a unique individual. Li Ge is the second reference, but more samples are needed before it can be widely adopted.

After the holiday, pilot programs will begin in a small area!

……

Meanwhile, at the Psionic Academy.

"We've already come up with a simplified version of the complete domain, so let's just sweep this 'simple domain,' which is still in the realm of imagination, into the dustbin of history," the editor-in-chief said impatiently.

"But editor-in-chief..." The man with the crew cut picked up the manuscript in his hand, wanting to explain.

"There's no 'buts' about it. Kawi, take my advice. While this field is currently a hot trend and there are still many unresolved issues, hurry up and start researching your existing field. You might even achieve something in a sub-field within it. Otherwise, if you wait a few more days, you won't even get a taste of the benefits," the editor-in-chief said directly.

"The simple domain is the right one! My ten competitive advantages are clearly stated!" the short-haired guy named Kawi said through gritted teeth.

"Hey, you..." The editor-in-chief was speechless; he had never seen such an arrogant and incompetent person.

However, the man with the crew cut was not only unappreciative, but also said, "I will prove myself. I will raise a child who will prove you wrong, and you will regret it!"

"Kavi, I'm the editor-in-chief!" the editor-in-chief slammed his fist on the table in anger.

"Bang!" The door was slammed shut by the man with the crew cut.

The editor-in-chief even felt like laughing out of anger, saying, "Just drown yourself in your rudimentary domain!"

Chapter 177 Do you crave power?

His name is Kawi, and he is a master scholar. He firmly believes that his talents and research into psychic energy will change the world and even shape the future.

At least that's what he thinks.

He was originally from another world. In his homeland, he embarked on a transcendental path somewhat different from psychic powers, yet his talents were not particularly outstanding on that path.

After wasting half his life and being called a good-for-nothing by others, he resolutely abandoned everything in his hometown, all his family and the past, when he discovered that there was actually a path of psychic powers, just to walk a different path and return home in glory.

At that time, he will become a psionic pioneer in his homeland and a figure revered throughout the world.

This is perfectly understandable. In fact, most graduates of magic high schools make this choice: after completing their studies, they return to their hometowns and pass on their knowledge to more people in their hometowns. Some even open their own magic high schools in their hometowns, modeling their layouts after their alma maters.

Even the school supports this approach.

However, even after arriving in Academy City, Kawi's psychic talent was not ideal.

Or rather, he does have a little talent, but not much. He's the kind of person who, if he could have entered school at sixteen, could have gotten into the top-tier dorms and then struggled his way to graduation.

They might have to wait until graduation, but with time and hard work, they should be able to reach around the third-tier legendary level.

And with his third rank, he would be among the top people when he returned to his hometown.

Unfortunately, he was almost forty when he arrived in Academy City. At that age, even if he resumed his psychic powers, he wouldn't achieve much. So, unwilling to accept this, he settled down in Academy City and returned to his old profession…

Become a scholar!

He was confident that even if he lacked talent, he could still become a scholar who would change the world of psychic energy!

He wants to use his not-so-strong psychic talent to study this knowledge and then create a spell that can change the world!

Decades passed, and in terms of psionic energy, he slowly progressed to near the second tier, but remained stuck at that level for a very long time. He knew that perhaps reaching the second tier would be the absolute limit for him in this lifetime.
