Starting with Proficiency Panel-Chapter 677: See the real - tomorrow (new book content)

Li Qing became interested, eagerly buying the entire high school math curriculum textbooks, and also purchased several sets of the "Three Years of College Entrance Examination, Five Years of Mock Tests" papers. He left the library, found a place to have dinner, and returned to his rented room before stopping to rest.

Lying on the bed, he meditated for two hours. Li Qing, feeling invigorated, opened his eyes and started studying the textbooks again.

If he had a mind like this back then, Qinghua or Peking University would have clearly just been a matter of choice.

This Basic Meditation Technique is quite magical; when the Light Ball formed, it not only enhanced his Spiritual Power but also increased his Intelligence.

If only the system board could display his Attributes.

Li Qing thought as he unconsciously opened his system board to take a look during his break.

"Surname: Li Qing

Tier: Junior Apprentice

Intelligence: 3

Physical Strength: 0.8

Skills: Basic Meditation Technique (Entry Level)

Talent: Identification Skill (Level 1)

Evaluation: A cunning human delinquent embracing evil!!"

The evaluation has changed a bit, but that's not the focus here.

The system board he saw indeed changes according to his will, it seems that summoned devil has completely turned into a system board.

So it probably uses 1 as the reference value, estimating that the average for ordinary humans is 1, with variation above and below.

Having twice the intelligence of an average person grants him an incredible mental agility, but his Physical Strength is a bit lacking.

Li Qing was initially surprised and then felt it was expected that even a Level 0 Spell requires a lot of calculation, analysis, and derivation. Without enough Intelligence to support it, you wouldn't even understand the purpose of each Magic Node in the flow of Magic.

Analysis, construction, solidification, release.

The four steps of using Magic, indispensable.

If one's logical thinking is not good, understanding these things would be quite challenging.

Until around 11:40, Li Qing, reluctant to stop, closed the textbook. These days, he had finally found his enthusiasm for studying, like before.

Truly, if he could have studied diligently like this in his student days, he absolutely could have entered a prestigious university.

Even without his current Intelligence.

An effort-driven genius can be achieved by anyone with intelligence within the normal range, focusing more on one's self-discipline.

The time was almost up.

Li Qing looked at the time, put on the black robe, and glanced around his rented room.

He needs to find time to move to another place.

After preparing a bit upon entering the safe house of the Gray Magic Academy, Li Qing opened the door in advance and entered the classroom.

With an example of not wanting to be late, none of the remaining fourteen students wished to risk it.

He found his seat and sat down. Several students were quietly chatting in the classroom, and like Li Qing, many remained silently seated.

Or rather, the majority were silent, with only a few students speaking in low voices.

A figure in a blue-edged black robe suddenly appeared on the podium. It was still Rosenberg, with his catfish-head appearance, though his entire body was hidden by the robe.

"Alright, everyone, now, show me your progress. Let me see, the devil you have summoned from within, what exactly is it? Now, come forward one by one so I can inspect you. Let's start from the first row on the left."

Rosenberg spoke slowly and deliberately. If not for the previous scenes of him devouring students lingering in everyone's minds, everyone would think he's quite the noble gentleman.

Seeing the black-robed student standing before Rosenberg, Rosenberg slightly raised his hand. A faint green light rippled around the black-robed student, and then he lowered his hand.

A satisfied tone revealed itself: "Very good, you can go back."

Li Qing knew this person, named Jes, who was acquainted with the malicious Anna.

Finally, it was his turn. He stood in front of Rosenberg, facing Rosenberg's slightly playful gaze.

Rosenberg said, "Alright, human boy, let me see what the race with the strongest desires has led the devil to do to you."

The race with the strongest desires?

Li Qing couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, not saying much.

So it seems, but to be described this way by this peculiar teacher was still astonishing to him.

Apparently, humans are a powerful group in the Magic World as well.

Very useful information, at least it won't be like in some novels where humans are often depicted as insignificant.

But seeing the current situation, the strong desires of humans are known among these entities.

As Rosenberg's hand, rippling with green light, gently passed over his face, Li Qing felt a terrifying sensation engulf his entire body, a chilling cold emanating uncontrollably, making his hair stand on end.

It was as if an ant was being stared at by a human, then thoroughly examined both inside and out with an optical microscope.

"Hmm, interesting..."

After pondering for a while, Rosenberg nodded with a surprised smile, clearly intrigued by how Li Qing handled the devil.

After all the students had completed their monitoring, Rosenberg said with some regret, "Then, congratulations to everyone for successfully passing the entrance exam. Next, I will teach you the path of the mage at the real Gray Magic Academy. I hope that in the days ahead, we can get along very well..."

Rosenberg couldn't help but chuckle, which to Li Qing seemed entirely mischievous.

"Today, we begin our first lesson, Meditation!"

Rosenberg's voice turned solemn.

"For any mage wishing to enhance their most fundamental strength, their own Meditation is the best path for improvement. Whether at the Magic Apprentice Level or those Legendary Mages, they continue to engage in meditation practice each day.

And once you have practiced the Basic Meditation Technique to the Entry Level, and the Light Ball emanates light filling your sea of consciousness, it signifies that your Spirit has begun to transform, and you have the potential to cast Magic."

Li Qing was listening intently when a black-robed student beside him raised his hand.

Rosenberg was unconcerned, chuckling, "Taras, do you have a question?"

Taras stood up, a slightly immature voice asking, "Teacher, in my hometown, as long as you gather Spiritual Power, you can cast Magic. Why is it necessary to also gather Magic Power?"

"Because sometimes you might find yourself in environments void of magic or where magic is prohibited. In situations where you cannot manipulate energy, the Magic Power condensed within your body becomes an important channel for using Extraordinary Power."

Li Qing had an epiphany, realizing why, when he studied the Level 0 Spell 'Mage's Hand,' it involved circulating Magic Nodes using Spiritual Power, even though his internal Magic Power participated in the circulation.
