I, a cultivator, have ended up in the wizarding world.

Chapter 7 Enrollment
Jemin took a quick look and found that the content written on the scroll was the same as that on the light screen promoting alchemy, only a little more detailed.

During their apprenticeship, the academy's alchemy workshop will provide basic food and lodging, systematic knowledge instruction, and a limited amount of experimental resources.

Apprentices need to complete the learning tasks assigned by the academy and the miscellaneous tasks assigned by the workshop to earn credits, which can then be exchanged for more advanced knowledge and resources.

The obligation is that after reaching the level of a first-class official wizard or completing ten years of study, the apprentice must serve the workshop on the front lines for a full thirty years.

During this period, you will need to follow instructions and complete various tasks, including but not limited to brewing potions, repairing equipment, and participating in scientific research projects.

The consequences of breach of contract are even more terrifying, including not only huge amounts of points and resources in compensation, but also damage to the very essence of the soul. At best, it leads to a decline in mental strength, and at worst, the soul disintegrates, making life worse than death.

As for why breaching a contract wouldn't result in death, it's because wizards themselves are excellent research materials, and the workshop wouldn't waste them when manpower is scarce.

“I have no problem, mentor.” Jemin raised his head, his eyes firm.

Mentor Clark glanced at him, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. The smug smile he had given to the other mentors had somehow turned into a stern expression.

He nodded, signaling Jemin to drip a drop of blood onto the scroll, and then extracted a wisp of spiritual energy from Jemin's head and integrated it into the scroll.

As blood seeped in and spiritual energy merged, the scroll instantly erupted with an even more intense light than before.

The complex runes leaped and flickered, eventually transforming into a stream of light that disappeared into the apprentice badge in Clark's hand.

The alchemical cauldron pattern on the badge seemed to come alive, glowing slightly.

The contract is now in effect.

Mentor Clark put away the scroll, his tone returning to its usual calm: "Very good. Since you've chosen alchemy, you must have patience and resolve. There aren't many thrilling adventures here, only day after day of experiments, calculations, and failures. But if you can persevere, the rewards will not disappoint you."

He took out two thick books and a rather heavy-looking wooden box from under the table.

"This is the 'Basic Alchemy Handbook,' which covers all the fundamental knowledge a novice alchemy apprentice must master. From material identification to potion preparation, from basic rune inscription to the simplest alchemical constructs, all your basic credits will be assessed based on this content." Instructor Clark handed the book to Jemin, its pages heavy in his hands.

Clark then handed over another, slightly thinner book:
"This is a basic meditation method. There are still ten days before the formal class starts. You must master and get started with it during this period. If you fail to do so, you will have one month's worth of resources deducted."

"In this box are your basic tools and some commonly used basic materials. The workshop has a public laboratory, but you need to make an appointment to use it, and any material consumption needs to be recorded. You need credits to exchange for more advanced materials." He handed the wooden box to Jemin as well.

"Finally, some basic rules." Instructor Clark's expression turned serious. "First, safety first! Alchemy experiments are dangerous; any negligence could lead to explosions, poison gas, or worse. Operating procedures must be strictly followed! Second, private fights are prohibited in the workshop; any disputes must be submitted to the instructor for adjudication. Third, respect knowledge; handle all borrowed books and equipment with care. Fourth, points are your only currency in the workshop; strive to earn them."

After saying a few words, he seemed to think he had explained enough, so he waved his hand: "Your dormitory is in Zone 1. There's a map in the admission handbook. Go, master the basic meditation method as soon as possible, ignite the fire of your spirit, and remember to preview the 'Basic Alchemy Handbook.' You can ask me any questions, but it's best to ask questions that you still can't solve after thinking and practicing on your own."

Jemin thanked his mentor respectfully again, put on the medal representing his alchemy apprenticeship, and then turned and left the alchemy area carrying the heavy books and wooden box.

Following the map directions, Jemin quickly found the alchemy apprentices' dormitory. The entire dormitory building seemed to be made of an unknown metal, gleaming in the sunlight.

Every now and then, faint explosions would come from one of the dorm rooms, and occasionally various smells that he couldn't yet identify would drift in the air.

Fortunately, the ventilation and safety systems of the entire dormitory building were well-designed, and the escaped gases were quickly sucked away, so it seems that there were no major casualties... probably.

Jemin fell silent as he watched a wizard apprentice, foaming at the mouth and convulsing, being dragged away by a group of silver-white humanoid golems.

...Well, it seems it's not so safe after all.

Find your room number and use your apprentice badge to open the door.

The dormitory space in front of us is not large, only about ten square meters.

Apart from the ensuite bathroom near the entrance, the room only has a bed, a desk, and a long chair.

The most striking feature is a small, somewhat old-looking laboratory table in the corner, along with some glassware and test tubes on the table, and an exceptionally fine-looking mechanical clock.

This is where he will live and study for a long time to come. The conditions are a bit basic, but they are sufficient for a dormitory.

Jemin placed "Basic Alchemy Manual" and "Basic Meditation Method" on his desk, opened a somewhat heavy wooden box, inside which were neatly arranged various basic alchemical tools—crucibles, mortars, measuring cups, tweezers, small flamethrowers, and so on, as well as some bottles and jars containing powders, liquids, and plants of different colors.

Without carefully tidying up the things inside, Jieming plopped down in a chair, feeling the energy fluctuations and aura around him that were completely different from the true essence system in his body. He stared blankly at the sky outside the window.

The Basic Alchemy Manual and experimental tools at his side, the unfamiliar glassware on the table, and the magnificent and mysterious academy buildings outside the window all silently told him that he had stepped into a completely new world.

"call……"

After taking a few deep breaths as if exhausted, Jemin regained some of his energy.

Although the process seemed to go quite smoothly, he had been in a state of extreme tension until now, when he was only able to relax slightly.

"We were still a bit careless..." Jemin shook his head and sighed.

With his keen senses, Jieming could certainly feel the unusually intense gazes of the logistics department instructors, and he knew that he seemed to have become too conspicuous.

"This is a problem caused by insufficient intelligence. In order to match today's performance, it seems that the subsequent action plan will need to be slightly modified..."
