Versatile Mage: Choose one of three Hexes at the start

Chapter 8 Silver Key (Silver)
The annual assessment results came out not long after, and Mo Fan took first place as expected.

Su Chi's grades were also good, and he successfully entered the seed class.

There are a total of one hundred people in the seed class of Tianlan Magic High School. Those who can enter the seed class are basically students who have mastered the seven stars.

One month after the new semester started, in the seed class classroom.

Today is the day when the school distributes Stardust Magical Devices.

For most of the civilian mages in the class, this was the first time in their lives that they had come into close contact with a Stardust Magical Weapon.

The production of Stardust Magical Weapons requires essence, and the value of a slave-level essence is between three million and five million, which is an astronomical figure for them.

Take Mo Fan's father, Mo Jiaxing, for example. He only earned 20,000 yuan from driving for half a year.

"Mo Fan, you were supposed to use the Stardust Magic Tool for a month, but due to your disrespectful behavior during the annual assessment, your usage time has been shortened to ten days." Teacher Xue Musheng stood at the podium and announced the news to the whole class.

Generally, each person can only meditate for five hours a day, and the remaining nineteen hours are the fatigue period of meditation, during which one can only do other things. The Stardust Magical Artifact can nourish the soul and shorten the fatigue period.

The ordinary stardust magic weapon can increase the mage's daily practice time by 20%, which means that the daily meditation time will be increased to six hours.

The difference may not seem big in one or two days, but if it lasts for a long time, the gap between you and your peers will be very large.

"One month turned into ten days? This punishment is too severe!"

"If he had agreed to join the Mu family before, the treatment would have been better."

"Alas, a real man can bend and stretch. He was too impulsive at the beginning."

After hearing this, the classmates began to whisper and talk about it.

"Do you have any objection to the school's decision?" Xue Musheng said to Mo Fan.

"No." Mo Fan replied.

That night, when Su Chi was about to lie down to rest, he saw Mo Fan coming to him nervously.

"Chi Zi, come out with me for a moment. I have something to ask you."

Su Chi looked at Mo Fan in confusion at first, then suddenly remembered that this kid's loach pendant must have swallowed the essence of the Stardust Magic Weapon given by the school.

"Let's go straight to the rooftop."

Arriving at the rooftop, Mo Fan began to narrate what had just happened.

Sure enough, it was just as Su Chi expected.

"Chi Zi, you know a lot. Do you know what's going on?" Mo Fan asked nervously. If he really broke the Stardust Magical Artifact given by the school, he wouldn't be able to afford the compensation even if he sold it.

Su Chi frowned and pretended to think for a while before he slowly said, "I've thought of a possibility."

"Which possibility?" Mo Fan asked quickly.

Su Chi stared at Mo Fan, wanting to see his reaction: "First, tell me where you got this pendant from?"

"Heirloom." Mo Fan answered without hesitation.

Huh~
Su Chi nodded and didn't ask any further questions. He just wanted to see what Mo Fan would say.

"Your pendant should be a growth-type stardust magic weapon. It can improve itself by absorbing essence and soul. If it can absorb more essence and soul in the future, it should be able to evolve into a spiritual-level stardust magic weapon." Su Chi roughly explained what Tang Yue said in the original book.

"Spirit-level Stardust Magical Weapon?" Mo Fan was confused again.

"Stardust magic weapons are divided into ordinary and spiritual levels. The Stardust magic weapons issued by the school are ordinary level, which can increase the magician's practice time by 20% every day, while the spiritual level can increase the magician's practice time by 40% every day." Su Chi said.

Upon hearing this, Mo Fan became excited.

So this little loach pendant is really a treasure.

Seeing Mo Fan's excitement, Su Chi immediately poured a bucket of cold water on him and said quietly, "Don't be too happy too soon, kid. Now you've broken the Stardust Magic Artifact given by the school. You should think about how to solve this problem."

Mo Fan's mood at the moment was like a roller coaster, up and down. "Chi Zi, you're so smart, give me some advice. You can't just watch me sell myself!"

"Huh? What did you call me?"

"Brother Chi Chi, I call you Brother Chi, you must save me!"

Su Chi nodded in satisfaction and stopped keeping him in suspense: "You can go find Teacher Tang Yue."

"Looking for her?"

"There are some things I'm not comfortable talking about, but I can assure you that she can handle this matter, and she's trustworthy. Just tell her exactly what you said to me just now. By the way, don't expose me." Su Chi said solemnly.

Seeing Su Chi's serious expression, Mo Fan nodded seriously.

Then, in front of Su Chi, he started calling Tang Yue directly.

"Teacher Tang Yue"

After a few simple words, Su Chi saw Mo Fan hang up the phone and asked, "What did she say?"

"Teacher Tang Yue said she will be here in three minutes." Mo Fan said.

Su Chi nodded and said, "Then I'll go back first."

"Okay, thank you Chi Zi." Mo Fan looked relaxed.

"You guy, if there is something wrong, it's Brother Chi, and if there is nothing wrong, it's Chi Zi, right?" Su Chi gestured to the guy, then walked towards the dormitory.

As summer turned to winter, a semester of study passed quickly.

During the past six months, Su Chi adjusted his meditation time again. Except for two hours spent on summoning every day, the remaining ten hours were all used for meditation on water.

In the past few days, Su Chi felt that his water system seemed to have reached a bottleneck.

His water star also had obvious changes. Unlike the previous star that was sometimes bright and sometimes dim, its brilliance now became very stable.

The brighter and more shining the stars are, the more magic energy they can transmit, and the skills they can perform will also change.

His current situation is clearly a sign that the water system is about to enter the second level of the initial stage.

So these few days Su Chi put aside his practice of summoning and began to concentrate on practicing water.

Finally today, his water system successfully broke through to the second level of the beginner stage.

"Water Control·Guardian!"

As a blue star track appeared, several streams of water appeared in the air around Su Chi. Each stream of water was like a silk ribbon, quickly weaving into a water armor that fell on him.

"This is the second level of water defense, it's amazing."

Su Chi looked at the armor made entirely of water, and a sense of security welled up in his heart.

The second level of water defense can basically completely block the attacks of most slave-level monsters.

Of course, this does not include the slave advancement stage. Monsters of this level require a third-level water defense to be completely resisted.

As Su Chi successfully released the second-level water defense, the long-lost mechanical sound rang out again.

[Clear your goals and strive forward. Please choose one of the following three runes to lay a solid foundation.]

[Treasure Bag (Silver): Randomly obtain a cultivation resource.]

[Featherweight (Silver): Your casting speed of elementary and intermediate magic increases by 20%.]

[Silver Key (Silver): Obtain a key composed of pure summoning magic energy, which can be perfectly absorbed by the mage. The absorption time required is three months, and the energy concentration is just enough for Stardust to break through from the first level to the third level.]
