Full-Time Magister: Collect Fragments and Create a Heart Sea Contract

Chapter 17 Mind Stone, Magical Talent Buff
Two and a half seconds later.

Han Yi led Coral Palace Xin Hai into the hunting lodge and explained their purpose to the little girl Lingling.

"Hmm, so you're here to apply for a demon hunter position. I thought you were human traffickers."

The little girl Lingling took a strawberry milkshake from behind the counter, inserted a straw, and chatted while sipping it.

Han Yi and Xin Hai exchanged a glance, speechless, their first impressions of each other were indeed rather bad.

"By the way, my name is Leng Lingling. My grandfather will be out soon. What are your names? Would you like something to drink?"

The little girl Lingling glanced at the mage badges on the two people's chests. Hmm, one was high-level, and the other was mid-level.

Great! I don't have to go to school again and can fully enjoy the monster-hunting life!

"My name is Han Yi, and my name is Ice Cola."

"Coral Palace Heart Sea, Orange Juice."

Han Yi and Xin Hai casually remarked, and the little girl Lingling quickly got busy.

Han Yi chatted with Lingling, the little girl making drinks on site, while patiently waiting.

Soon, the conditions for the fragments to fall within ten meters and ten seconds were met.

[A red fragment dropped by Leng Lingling has been found. Pick it up?]

"Pick up."

Han Yi silently thought to himself.

[I have collected 'Talent Shard - Random Magic Buff (Red)' *1 (1/1). My shard count is full; I can use it now.]

Han Yi, “???”

A brand new version of fragment resources, which looks like some kind of buff skill, is very tempting.

I don't know what kind of buff it is.

Is it an innate talent? Or perhaps a power born of misfortune? Could it be a forbidden divine gift?
These things are all potential assets, and there is a high probability that they can be transformed into the mage's immediate combat power.

Just as Han Yi was lost in thought, an old man quickly walked down from the attic.

The old man had a head of silver white hair and wore a short blue jacket, clearly the demeanor of a reclusive powerhouse.

Indeed, his former identity was that of a senior priest of the Holy Tribunal, a forbidden spellcaster!

Old Man Bao – Song Qiming!

"Lingling, the Hunter Alliance just sent a message. Those two are indeed here to apply for the Demon Hunter position."

As he accessed the computer data, Old Man Bao took out a packet of fine tea leaves and began brewing fragrant tea.

Here, here are your drinks.

Just then, the little girl Lingling finished preparing the drinks for the two of them: an iced cola and an orange juice.

"Thank you, Lingling."

"Lingling, thank you."

Coral Palace Heart Sea smiled gently and accepted the orange juice offered by the little girl. [Energy +1]

Han Yi and Xin Hai drank their beverages while waiting for Old Man Bao's test.

Watching Old Man Bao brew a cup of hot tea and carefully peruse Han Yi's hunter information.

A familiar passage of text echoed in my mind once again.

[Found a red fragment dropped by Old Man Bao - Song Qiming. Should you pick it up?]

"Pick up."

Han Yi silently thought to himself.

[Resource Fragment - Large Mind Stone (Red)*1 (1/1) has been collected. The fragment quantity is full and can be used directly.]

Yes, that's great!

Although it was a pity that Old Man Bao, a forbidden spell mage, didn't drop a golden legendary item, Han Yi wasn't picky.

Even if you gave him a powerful elemental seed now, he couldn't use it; the energy would overwhelm it and cause it to explode.
Moreover, we can always ask the Moth Maiden Yu Shishi to make the Heavenly Seed later.

Mindstones are a necessity, providing the greatest boost to dimensional magic and also increasing Han Yi's speed in controlling star points.

Furthermore, a higher level of mental strength grants greater resistance to attacks from mental mages. Just as Han Yi was pondering this, Old Man Bao finished reviewing his hunter's information and leisurely spoke:

"Han Yi, your hunter profile shows you are a mid-level level 2 summoner and a mid-level level 1 ice hunter, which far exceeds the standards of our Qingtian Hunter's Office."

"Congratulations on your successful application. You can call me Old Man Bao from now on. This is my granddaughter, Lingling."

"Actually, I was born with dual systems."

Han Yi plans to show off his strengths, as his younger age and multiple magic weapons will make Old Man Bao take him more seriously.

In the original story, Old Man Bao and Dean Xiao are absolutely upright and righteous figures who protect the forbidden spells, representing the integrity of the older generation.

It should be noted that even Hua Zhanhong, the former head of the Southern Guard, tacitly approved of the demon-based experiments, which were not reliable.

Upon hearing this, Old Man Bao and the little girl Lingling paused in their actions, both casting surprised glances at him.

"That's quite a rare talent. What's your third magic type?"

Old Bao took a sip of tea, his tone full of surprise as if he had found a treasure.

"Spatial system, sound system."

The interplay of silver and pink created two magical elements that caught everyone's eye.

Han Yi did not mention the wind element. Before reaching a high level, the wind element's dominance and rarity were far inferior to dimensional magic.

"Cough cough~!!"

Old Bao coughed twice, almost choking on the hot tea, his brows furrowed with deep shock.

"Dimensional magic? Two of them! Could it be that you awaken two elements at each level of awakening?"

Old Bao was a man of great knowledge and experience, and he analyzed the situation quite thoroughly in just a few words.

The little girl Lingling was equally shocked. There were already four magic systems at the intermediate level. What would Han Yi be like at the advanced level?

His number of spellcasters exceeds that of forbidden spellcasters!

After regaining his senses, Old Man Bao frowned slightly and said:
"All three magic systems are dimensional magic, and the only elemental system is ice magic, which is more focused on control."

"Han Yi, you're in a bad situation."

Old Man Bao's meaning is simple: dimensional magic relies heavily on mental strength, while ice magic is more suited to team battles.

“Old Bao, you’re wrong. I’ve just turned 18. I’ll be able to advance to the high-level summoning class in about a year.”

"A commander-level dimensional beast is enough to sweep away peers. Specializing in one magic system in the early stages is the right way."

"Furthermore, ice can also bear the responsibility of destruction."

Han Yi snapped his fingers, opened his palm, and a six-petaled azure blue icicle condensed!

A biting cold air, and a shimmering azure blue!

The surrounding air instantly dropped to freezing point, but Han Yi had eaten the Ice Fruit and had a strong control over ice elements.

The azure ice is confined to a one-meter radius.

"What a prodigy, Han Yi."

"With your talent, you're guaranteed to reach the advanced level of dual-system cultivation in the National Government competition three years from now."

As Old Man Bao sensed Han Yi's icy aura, a smile of admiration immediately appeared on his old face.

It's been a long time since I've seen such a young and promising new hunter, it's just a pity that he's already taken.

The woman accompanying Han Yi, Coral Palace Xin Hai, is an exceptional beauty; otherwise, Old Man Bao would have wanted to test him.

If she is of good character, then introduce Lingling's older sister, Leng Qing, to Han Yi.
Just as Old Man Bao was pondering the matter of matchmaking, Han Yi asked:

"Old Bao, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now. I need to rush to Mingzhu Academy to register this afternoon."

"Okay, it's alright. We'll let you know if there are any monster-hunting missions."

"Since you're new here, why don't you stay for lunch and then go to Mingzhu Academy to register this afternoon?"

Old Bao nodded, indicating that the two should stay for a simple meal before leaving.

It's unusual for the hunting lodge to be so lively today; it's been rather boring with just the grandfather and grandson minding the shop the whole time.
