Don't disturb the sorcerer's scientific research

Chapter 56 Jia Xiu's Phased Goals

Larven, College Road.

As the name of this road describes, there are colleges on both sides of the road.

The Morning Star Academy that focuses on astrology, prophecy and illusion, the Mithril Forge Academy established by the dwarves, the Emerald Court which is the highest institution for bards, the militarized School of Spell War Engineering, the Silvermoon Academy which has close ties with the high elves, and so on.

There's a saying in Larven: "If you throw a flowerpot from the rooftop of a building on College Road with your eyes closed, it can knock down three top students from the Spellcaster Academy."

On this road lined with universities, the most famous and highest-quality one is, of course, Santello, located at the northernmost end of the road...

and the Vita Sage Academy, located in the southernmost part.

As we all know, there are two top 1s, several top 3s, and a lot of top 10s.

No one can remember how many years the Sandero Academy and the Vita Sage Academy have been competing over which is the best spellcasting academy in Larven.

The educational philosophies of the two colleges are also completely opposite.

Sant'Ero advocates career liberalization and enriched choices, and the students trained there usually learn a wide range of subjects.

Vita Sage Academy advocates specialized development, first achieving success in a single profession, and then considering whether to pursue multiple professions.

It's hard to say which one is better.

But it doesn't affect the fact that both sides think the other side's ideas are extremely stupid.

After a long period of competition, the relationship between the two colleges cannot be said to be one of mutual respect, but can be said to be as hostile as water and fire.

"Mortal enemies" in the same city!
While acknowledging that the other party is capable, you also think that the other party is not capable enough.

It's very contradictory.

Under the influence of this tradition, there is considerable conflict between students of the two colleges.

Therefore, Margaret, a "pure-blooded" Santoro native, took Jassou to a place a hundred meters outside the Vita Sage College before she helped him familiarize himself with the Santoro campus.

Pointing to the school emblem on the gate, he said, "Remember, whoever wears this emblem will be your future enemy!"

Margaret said seriously in the luxurious carriage pulled by hippogriffs.

Jia Xiu, holding Bubu in his arms, looked confused.

What's wrong? This is my future enemy.

Mia, who was sitting next to Jia Xiu, knew what was going on and nodded politely.

Of course, she only agreed superficially, because she also took on Vita's paper writing business and could not offend the customer.

Because it was too big to fit into the car, the small Ram who was subjected to the shrinking magic had empty eyes.

He was thinking about a complex "philosophical" problem.

If they are enemies in the future, does that mean they are not enemies at any moment...

Only Bubu was particularly supportive.

"I'm going to challenge them right now!"

"Not really, not really," Margaret hurriedly stopped Bubu, "to be precise, we should be talking about a relationship of competition."

At this moment, a sarcastic voice came from outside the car.

"Hey, isn't this Instructor Margaret from that small school up north? Why are you here at Larven's best spellcasting school today?"

Margaret frowned and muttered softly: "What bad luck! How could I meet that bitch Lambert?"

Obviously, he didn't want to meet the person outside the car.

Jia Xiu looked over curiously.

I saw a person standing outside the car. Um, how should I put it? He was obviously a man, but he had a very sisterly temperament. He looked to be around 30 years old.

He was wearing the Vita school badge on his chest, so he must be a faculty member here.

He continued, "Hey, your new students, let me tell you, don't think Margaret is any good. She's a terrible teacher. Last year, her student named Juan lost miserably to my student in the Big Five Tournament."

Margaret opened her mouth to say something, but Jia Xiu beat her to it.

When it comes to "literary battles", Jia Xiu, who has been immersed in the Internet for many years, is much better than Margaret.

"So you mean that although her teaching ability is slightly lacking, she is still very capable?" Lambert's expression froze, and he quickly denied it.

"No way! Who said she's capable? Don't choose a pretty face like this when choosing a mentor. Young female mentors are always in trouble."

"So you think that Mentor Margaret is a beautiful young lady."

Lambert's temperature began to turn red visibly.

He said to Jia Xiu angrily, "Do you have the right to speak here?"

If that was all he said, Jia Xiu wouldn't be angry, but Lambert added another sentence.

"Oh, you looked familiar just now. You're the one who blew up the shit in the exam. No wonder I kept smelling a foul odor."

After saying that, she walked away swaying her hips.

Jia Xiu's anger value is increasing.

What kind of quality is this? Even among the trolls on the Internet, this is considered to be of low quality. When they can't win the argument, they fabricate facts and attack you personally, then block you and run away, leaving you alone in one fell swoop.

Jia Xiu now saw that he was on the "path to death".

"Who is this person?"

Margaret introduced helplessly: "Lambert, a mage who majored in the School of Transmutation, his level is not as good as mine."

“Not as good as me” was emphasized.

"During the five-school competition over the past two years, your seniors repeatedly encountered his students and were unfortunately defeated."

He sighed as he spoke, and it didn't look like a close defeat at all.

"What is the Big Five Schools Championship?" Jia Xiu asked.

"The five highest-caliber law schools on the mainland have formed a Big Five Alliance, which holds a student competition every year."

Jia Xiu nodded and understood, it was the Goblet of Fire.

"So what's the benefit of being a champion?"

"Money, a trophy, a custom wand, and a replica of the Primordial Stone."

"Primordial Crystal?"

This was the first time Jia Xiu heard this word.

Margaret explained, "It is the purest crystal, containing only a single element without any impurities. The element content per unit weight is thousands of times that of ordinary crystals. Legend has it that it is the creation of the primordial gods.

"Spells cast using it as raw material can be greatly enhanced. Each piece has different properties, and many new spells have been developed by studying these properties."

"What's the difference between a replica and the original?"

"The element content is much lower, so the amplification effect is slightly worse. However, the properties are the same as the original, though the performance is slightly weaker."

Jia Xiu understood that this primordial crystal sounded like a "cryo-electron microscope".

Whoever has this is more likely to achieve some results.

You have to get one, even if it's a low-end one.

"Can I participate in this competition?"

"Of course you can. As long as you're a student, you can. However, it's generally not recommended for first-year students," Margaret glanced at Jia Xiu. "But you're quite special. If you sign up, you'll need to earn more credits and pass the junior spellcaster certification in two months because you'll have to take some time off."

It didn't sound too difficult. Jia Xiu then asked, "Can I meet Lambert's students in the competition?"

"Yes, it's easy to come across if you want to."

"Alright," Jia Xiu, who had been in a slump for two days, regained his fighting spirit. "First, I'll earn credits, then pass the certification, then compete and win the championship. I'll beat up Lambert's students along the way. Oh, and after that, I'll come and taunt him."

Margaret felt a little embarrassed when she heard what Jia Xiu said.

"Isn't riding on the face a bad idea? That's a bit too much."

"Exaggeration, a bit exaggerated, I'm not really riding..."

　P.S. I slightly adjusted the ending of the previous chapter because I found that everyone thought it was a very old routine (mainly because I wrote it like an old routine, I am guilty, I reflect...)
　　PPS. If you find that the comments of the previous chapter are gone, it is not because I deleted them. It is because after I modified the original text, the comments under the old paragraphs were swallowed up by the system.
