The girl selling goods at the market had never seen money before.

Can students majoring in humanities and sciences register for the same subject?

"What did you say!????"

Chen Yufei was startled and raised his voice.

The classmates who wanted to sign up also widened their eyes and looked at Bai Jinxuan.

Thinking she hadn't expressed herself clearly, she calmly repeated it.

"What I mean is, I want to get 2000 credits, can I enroll in both arts and sciences programs at the same time?"

Volume 1: Chapter 138: The Girl with Elemental Magic

At No. 1 High School, if you hear that someone is studying both science and humanities at the same time, that person is probably crazy.

The reason is simple: it's already quite an achievement to excel in just one subject. Wanting to learn them all? Does he think he's some kind of genius?

If someone is truly that talented, wouldn't it be better to focus their extra effort on their main profession and become even more talented? Why waste their talent?

but......

Chen Yufei glanced at Bai Jinxuan; her determined gaze suggested she wasn't joking.

It was already outrageous that she chose three humanities electives... I should say, isn't that just like her? I should have known this day would come.

Sigh, try to think positively. At least she participated in the science competition. As long as she can maintain her martial arts performance, it's not impossible for her to try her hand at the humanities.

He sighed and said slowly, "Okay."

This competition has no limit on the number of participants and is very large in scale, so of course you can sign up. However, once you've registered, you can't back out; you must participate. Failure to do so will result in a deduction of 50 credit points.

Okay, okay, so this is how you deduct credits? The top student in the weekly test only gets 100 credits, but skipping a competition means losing half of those credits.

It's so dark!

After mentally complaining for a moment, Bai Jinxuan said frankly, "Then report them all to me."

"you sure?"

"determine."

Upon hearing this, several students around her were so surprised that they couldn't speak. It wasn't until Bai Jinxuan turned to leave that one of the girls mustered up her courage and stopped her.

"Bai Jinxuan, aren't you afraid of getting seriously injured and embarrassed on stage?"

Embarrassing yourself? So what...

Forehead......

Bai Jinxuan's foot, which was suspended in mid-air, paused, and cold sweat poured down her forehead.

She's been in the dungeon for too long, her brain is all fogged up. Is she even fit to be on stage? What if she gets injured and takes medicine later? Won't that expose her true nature?

I can't just take out the artifact in front of so many people, can I? That brilliant silver light is practically a guild summoner.

Is it too late to regret it now...?

Um......

She glanced back at Chen Yufei and her classmates, who were all looking on in surprise, and suddenly thought of the admiration her classmates in the science class had for her when they saw her heal herself.

You know what, this trick actually works. Just learn a stronger healing spell and you're good to go. If you really can't beat them, just give up. On the surface, what are they going to do to kill her?

Besides, it's hard to say whether she'll get hurt. Don't think she's easy to mess with; if it really comes down to a fight, she'll be a master of magic.

"It doesn't matter. I'm aiming for the 2000 credits. Why would I care about these things?"

"Wow~"

Upon hearing this, several girls showed expressions of admiration, and one even whispered, "Bai Jinxuan is so cool and confident..."

Bai Jinxuan felt a little embarrassed, so she quickly greeted the teacher and then rode the black knight into the sky.

Signing up is not the end, but just the beginning; she is serious about learning magic.

According to the teacher, the competition, which serves as a warm-up for the joint entrance examination, will be held in a week.

Although time was tight, Bai Jinxuan was confident.

Previously, she was not sensitive to the flow of magic, but now it's different. Having mastered martial arts and divine artifacts, she can now sense a certain commonality when using magic.

This is something Bai Jinxuan discovered after her battle with the magician Qianjiyin. For example, the flames that erupted from the ground—if she hadn't sensed the gathering of magic power and checked her magic power detector, she wouldn't have reacted to that attack at all, let alone dodged it.

Similarly, constructing magic also requires similar abilities; after all, without input, how can she perceive the output process?

In conclusion, Bai Jinxuan has now overcome the deep-seated fear of magic that she had back in No. 5 Middle School and intends to seriously embark on the path of magic.

But before that, she had somewhere to go.

The black knight suddenly accelerated, and five minutes later, Bai Jinxuan landed on her feet.

Welcome to the library.

A notification pops up on the smart bracelet.

Bai Jinxuan ignored the bracelet and stepped inwards.

Learning magic isn't something you can just do on a whim; you have to spend money to learn it.

The magic she possesses—severing contact, amplification, linking, healing, telekinesis—except for the last one, isn't it all bought with money?

Therefore, doing scientific research can really make money. As long as you put your magic on the market, you can keep earning royalties.

The reason why No. 1 High School is the pinnacle of all high schools in Star City is because it is rich in resources, and most magic and martial arts techniques originated from No. 1 High School.

Of course, there are many more that have not been circulated.

This is what fascinates everyone. The reason why Tong Yishan is so eager to earn credits is simply because she wants to learn magic here that is hard to find on the market.

Thinking of this, Bai Jinxuan's resolve became even stronger.

She went to the counter and said earnestly, "I want to buy magic."

The girl at the counter smiled slightly: "What level and type of magic book would you like to buy?"

"500 credits, elemental magic."

"Please show your smart bracelet and then proceed to the second floor."

After the girl scanned Bai Jinxuan's smart bracelet with her device, her credit score quickly dropped to over 200, and then it showed that she had the right to go to the second floor of the library once.

Bai Jinxuan did not hesitate and set off immediately.

The layout here is somewhat similar to that of the cafeteria, with a large area and three floors, but instead of tables and chairs, there are rows of bookshelves.

Gazing at the staircase leading to the third floor of the library in the distance, Bai Jinxuan thought to herself that the beginner's guide on the No. 1 Middle School Forum was indeed right. The library had three floors. The magic books on the first floor were nothing special, the second floor was not widely circulated, and the third floor contained forbidden techniques. The unique secret techniques of those big shots all came from here.

Unfortunately, learning forbidden techniques requires at least 1000 credits, which she simply couldn't afford. She was only able to reach the second level thanks to the 500 bonus points she received upon entering the school...

I should probably think about what kind of magic I should learn.

She snapped out of her reverie, glanced at the various bookshelves, and walked to the counter on the second floor.

The counter staff here are clearly much more capable than those on the first floor. Just by looking at their demeanor, I'd guess they're at least at level 6.

Seeing that she had moved closer, she reminded her, "Choose the magic book you want to buy and tell me, and I will send the tutorial version to your smart bracelet."

"I see."

Bai Jinxuan nodded. This business model was not strange. After all, selling magic was only for personal use. It was impossible to release the original version, as that would make it easy for it to be copied.

In contrast, the tutorial version, which is divided into different steps, is much more useful. Not only do you not have to worry about being copied, but it can also genuinely teach students magic.

Even after the church is established, the items will be automatically destroyed, offering a one-stop service without any extra discounts.

Sigh, they're expensive, and you can just sit back and collect money. It's so comfortable! If my magic mechanics theory were up to par, I'd go into research too...

While pondering, Bai Jinxuan had already walked to the bookshelf area for elemental magic.

In the study of magic, magic is divided into two types: elemental magic, which is primarily offensive, and auxiliary magic, which is primarily supportive.

These two types of magic have different spellcasting systems. Elemental magic is primarily offensive because it uses magic power to manipulate elements and cause damage through some kind of 'physical' means, such as setting fires, light arrows, ice spikes, etc.

Even if someone sets fire to a place and doesn't use it for attack, it can still be used to fry rice. This kind of 'physical' manifestation can usually cause real damage.

As for auxiliary magic, it's different. The most classic example is telekinesis. Its construction process doesn't involve elements; it relies solely on the manipulation of magical power through a magic circle to complete the spell.

Aside from healing, all the magic Bai Jinxuan learned was auxiliary magic, purely for the purpose of disgusting people.

But the problem is, to participate in a competition, you definitely need some means of output, right?

This is also why Bai Jinxuan spent 500 credits to learn elemental magic. She didn't even have any means of attack, and participating in the competition empty-handed would make her a sitting duck.

"Of the seven elemental magics, which one should I choose?"

As she approached the bookshelf, her gaze lingered on the various magical artifacts encased in glass.

Wandering in front of the book.

The magic of the metal element excels in defense and counterattack, and is usually used to strengthen the attack power and defense of the armor worn on the body, making it suitable for warriors to use in combination.

I am an assassin, and my weapons are all replicas of those from the Shadowless Cloak, so I don't need any golden magic.

Moving my gaze downwards, the magic of the wood element came into view. Most of it was for healing and control, which was useful, but my goal now was to deal damage, not to recuperate. Besides, as an assassin, I wasn't wearing any armor. If I were to take a hit from a high-level explorer, I wouldn't need to heal; I could just lie down and wait to die.

Even if it could cure it, the efficiency of the divine artifact would be much greater, so it's not worth it.

Then there are the water and fire elements. These two are like brothers in misfortune, with similar moves. They have instant casts, damage, control, and even defense, making them very well-rounded. In particular, the ice magic of the water element is incredibly powerful.

Bai Jinxuan decided to wait and see what happens next.

Earth element magic, the base-building maniac, the favorite of civil engineering guys, used to change the terrain of the battlefield, like that earthen wall in the mine before, if you don't know how to use shadows, you'd probably have a hard time.

Furthermore, the expansion of the city in the region also relies on high-level mages using earth magic.

It is somewhat useful, but not much, and its harmfulness is not high.

Finally, there are the light and dark elements. Light magic is very common and can be considered a universal magic, with the most comprehensive system, while dark magic is much less useful.

It is the rarest of the seven elements, and also the most difficult to master.

To be honest, Bai Jinxuan didn't know what dark magic was until she saw the introduction to it, which is enough to show how obscure it is.

That's precisely why she was surprised by dark magic.

Unlike the other six elemental magics, it is the opposite of light magic, and there is only one system.

In short, it's about rebellion.

Although dark magic is also elemental magic, its dark element acts directly on other magic circles. By injecting magic power, it seizes the right to use the magic circle and activates it in reverse.

Of course, besides taking it, there are also extremely powerful and disgusting effects such as inactivation, detonation, rebound, and blocking magic circuits.

Can you imagine this: you intended to construct a beam of light to fire at the enemy, but someone used dark magic to change the direction, causing the arrow to point at you, triggering the program, and killing you...?

Even a slight attempt to relate to the situation makes me feel incredibly uncomfortable.

However, while dark magic is disgusting, its weakness is also obvious: it cannot be used against martial artists and monsters.

Moreover, it is very difficult to inject magic into someone else's magic circle during use. Compared with other elemental magic, dark magic is a type of magic that requires a lot of hard work and yields little benefit.

Even so, Bai Jinxuan still decided to learn dark magic.

This thing is perfect for her.

As for abilities, she naturally chose to steal them, and among a series of dark magic spells, this effect was the first one she noticed.

It can directly seize control of the opponent's magic. If the attempt fails, it can interrupt the opponent's spellcasting. If the attempt succeeds, it can also give you an advantage. It's powerful, too powerful.

For an assassin, nothing is more suitable than dark magic.

What? You want to ask what to do if you encounter martial artists and monsters?

Of course, we should just chop her up! Bai Jinxuan is an assassin, what is she afraid of?

With that in mind, she went to the counter and told the receptionist what kind of magic she wanted.

The other party acted quickly, and the smart bracelet immediately sent over a file.

It's a tutorial version on how to steal magic.

After confirming everything, Bai Jinxuan left the library with her new magic.

It was still early, so she could go to the public training grounds to try and practice some dark magic, but before that...

Bai Jinxuan turned on her smart bracelet and sent a message to Yao Yao.
