wizards start with occlumency

Chapter 112 A New Beginning

Early in the morning.

The sky is bright.

Link Grande woke up on time, got out of bed, and opened the window.

The slightly cold morning breeze blows on the face, refreshing and refreshing.

Two months have passed since the start of the spring semester, and the period has been peaceful without much disturbance.

All the lively events that happened during the holidays have also disappeared.

The new blood of Storm Sea who died outside the academy had no one to talk to the local apprentices at all;
The witch affirmative movement, which had been raging for a while, quickly subsided after the intervention of unspeakable forces.

As the time for the midterm exam is approaching, whether it is the college "forum" or private chats, everyone is most concerned about the competition between the two districts that will be held three days after the midterm exam!

Of course, the concerns of the new blood from the Storm Sea in the South District and the local apprentices in the North District are inconsistent.

The roles are different, the positions are different, and the considerations are naturally different.

The local apprentices in the North District found out the results of previous competitions between the two districts and showed off proudly.

As if it hadn't even started yet, they won another crushing overall victory!
I selectively ignore that the North District beats the small team with more teams every year.

And never squeezed out the new blood from the Southern District even once in the top three.

The hot topic among the freshmen in the storm sea in the South District is which 30 people can represent this year's new blood to face more than 1000 local apprentices in the same session in the North District!
30 people against 1000+.

Just listening to the comparison of numbers gives people a faint feeling of sadness and heroism.

Link didn't feel this way at all. He was just studying the new courses of the spring semester and steadily advancing his preparations for the competition between the two regions.

"system."

After washing up, Link wiped off the water stains on his face, looked at himself in the mirror that had grown taller again, and thought silently.

An unpretentious subtitle-type panel appeared before our eyes.

【Link Grande

Compared to two months ago, Link has improved a lot.

First of all, the third level of meditation has been completed, the spiritual power has reached the standard for promotion to a third-class wizard apprentice, 75 standard units, and nine runes have also been constructed.

The reason why I haven't been promoted from the second-class wizard apprentice to the third-class wizard apprentice is because the sea of ​​consciousness/spiritual power has undergone a small transformation.

Before this small transformation was over, Link was still a second-class wizard apprentice.

Everyone has different aptitudes, different learning, different understanding of meditation, and different mastery of runes, so the transformation period is also different, long and short.

During this period, you can continue to practice the fourth level of meditation, and you can also continue to accumulate the amount of spiritual power.

This is why some geniuses are still second-class wizard apprentices in their third year, but they don't panic at all.

As soon as the transformation was over, the progress of his practice increased in a jiffy.

Link estimated that even if he could not be promoted before the two-zone competition, he could still complete this small transformation in the early stage of the two-zone competition.

So it’s not a big problem and has no impact.

Secondly, the reserves of witchcraft are extremely rich and comprehensive.

Mastered 0 doors in both water-type 0-ring witchcraft and wood-type 28-ring witchcraft.

Among them, reaching the level of innovating the old and bringing forth the new, there are 2 doors each for the water system and the wood system;
Those who have reached the level of perfection have 10 gates each;
The remaining small part is at the proficient level, a smaller part is at the proficient level, and most of them are just getting started.

In terms of offense and defense, what Link relies on most at this stage is not witchcraft, but witchcraft.

The purpose of storing so many 0-ring witchcraft is to deal with various situations, and what is needed is complete functions.

The last is the number of card draws.

After two months of accumulation, and after nearly two months of continuous sales of the Limerocallis series, Wizard Serene generously reissued a hundred million points of magic stones.

Link finally had enough standard first-level magic stones, and exchanged for a standard second-level magic stone in exchange for one card draw.

It's better to hit the sun than choose the day, Link decided to smoke it now!
"God bless you!"

Link muttered silently in his mind and began to draw cards.

The simple and unpretentious card drawing system without any special effects is over in an instant.

The subtitle panel has been updated with:
[Card pack: "Multi-threaded thinking" status card (once every 96 hours)]

Link couldn't help but wonder, why did he draw a new card instead of continuing to draw a talent card?
The previous three talent cards from the HP world were very powerful and helped Link a lot.

The wool hasn't been plucked out yet, so why did it suddenly change?

I don’t know if this cost one standard second-level magic stone, which translates into 1 standard first-level magic stones. The effect of the “multi-threaded thinking” status card is strong or not.

If the effect is strong, how powerful is it.

After all, it is specifically marked to be used once every 96 hours!
Without wasting time, Link immediately used the "Multi-Threaded Thinking" status card.

His whole person changed instantly!

The perceived world changed in an instant.

Link felt like he had completely changed his mind!
It seems to be updated from Pentium 486 to intel i9-13900ks.

Maybe the wording is a bit exaggerated, but that's what it means.

Link intuitively felt that the computing power of his brain had doubled several times, and he was able to think about at least 8 questions at the same time, mobilizing all the memories and knowledge in his mind, and attacking all doubts with all his strength.

Some questions accumulated in "Mathematics", "Runology", "Pharmacy", "Physiology", "Pathology" and other subjects were solved in an instant.

If it wasn't for the "Occlumency" to be fully activated in time, Link felt that his brain would be overloaded and burned out.

It's like the computer is running too fast, the CPU is overloaded, burned out and smoking.

Even if the brain could bear it, Link only lasted for less than 3 seconds before "unloading" the "multi-threaded thinking" status card.

This card's consumption of mental energy is really terrifying.

It is "burning" almost at a speed of 3 points of mental power per second, "burning" crazily.

With Link's current reserves of mental power, fully supporting the "multi-threaded thinking" status card can only last for 25 seconds at most.

However, for the sake of my life, at most it lasts for 10 to 15 seconds.

No more time would be enough.

Otherwise, once the mental power is exhausted in a short period of time, I am afraid that he will go into shock on the spot?

Taking advantage of the lingering aftertaste of the "Multi-Threaded Thinking" status card, Link figured out the best match and best usage scenario for using this card.

"Occlumency" + "Multithreaded Thinking" status card = a humanoid supercomputer equipped with top AI.

Whether it is learning, researching, experimenting, or deciphering, exploring and fighting, it can play an amazing role.

After a rough calculation, Link felt that he was instantly strengthened by two to three times!
"It's so scary."

Link gasped hissingly, making a small contribution to the warming climate in the wizarding world.

After rubbing his slightly swollen head, Link walked out of the bathroom, changed his clothes, and went downstairs.

canteen.

Jasmine had already packed breakfast for Link and was waiting at his usual seat.

"What's the matter? It's a little late today."

Jasmine has also grown a little taller, has a beautiful face, a graceful figure, shining blond hair, clear blue eyes, a slim figure, and is intellectual and gentle.

Her current temperament has changed a lot compared to when she first entered Riversouth College.

Just like two people.

"A little thing."

Link sat down, picked up the knife and fork, without directly explaining.

How can we explain cheating?
I don’t want to lie and deceive people, so I can only deal with it perfunctorily.

"Boss, eldest sister, good morning."

Five dear friends, Buck Watt, Dalton Coren, Ezio Leakey, Dijay Finley, and Lynn Hewitt, came over with a plate at this time and greeted them politely.

In terms of appearance and daily performance, the five brothers have distinct images and are easy to identify.

Buck Watt has a tall face and a talkative nature. He loves to show off his talents and bully others. He became the apparent boss simply because he talks a lot.

Ezio Riggi is tall and thin, and the lines on his face are as sharp as a knife. Just like his temper, he is very straight and doesn't talk much.

Being crazy and stupid is just his disguise and protective color.

Deejay Finlay is a handsome young man. If he doesn't deliberately speak in a rough voice, his voice is soft and can rival Yuchanghua.

But his character is really simple and honest, admitting death.

Lynn Hewitt has a very ordinary appearance, the kind that is hard to find in a crowd. He is dull, but he is a typical example of great wisdom and foolishness.

After the five brothers got together, led by Buck Watt, they acted perversely for a long time.

They offended a lot of people, but they managed to get away with it.

It was because Lynn Hewitt was making suggestions.

"morning."

Link put down his knife and fork, picked up a napkin, wiped his mouth, and asked calmly, "How are you preparing?"

Naturally, what he asked was not about preparations for next week's midterm exam, but about the competition between the two districts.

The seven people here are all guaranteed to be in the top fifteen or even the top ten in their midterm exams.

Of course there is no need to ask.

After the five friends approached Link, Link did not hide his secrets and led them to prepare for the common format of the two-region competition.

nothing left.

As for how prepared they were, Link never asked in the past, he just relied on their own awareness.

Now that the competition between the two districts is approaching, I just asked a question.

"pretty good."

Buck Watt was the first to answer.

"good."

Ezio Leakey nodded.

Dijie Finley replied in a rough voice: "Thank you for your guidance."

Lynn Hewitt pondered for a while and then said: "Look at the format of this year's two-district competition. If there is no new format, there will be no problem. If there is a new format, it's hard to say."

"Well, I think so too."

Dalton Coren, whose presence is extremely weak and easily ignored, voiced his agreement with Lynn Hewitt.

"What about you, Jasmine?"

Link looked at Jasmine who was quietly listening.

Her personality gradually calmed down, except for chatting with Link, she gradually became less talkative.

Jasmine stretched out her right hand and gestured with her two fingers.

Link understood instantly.

This is promotion to second-class wizard apprentice.

Not bad.

Everyone has a new beginning.

good start.
