4 Chapter 4: A Spot for the Manuscript Library

[System message: Due to the lack of guidance, your cultivation of basic meditation skill has temporarily halted.]

"Guidance? So, even the system can't directly break through the Familiar level. "

Bai Ze frowned slightly and began to think about how to solve the new problem.

It was very difficult for ordinary people to cultivate ordinary rules or meditation skills to the Refinement level.

This was a difficult point that needed to be nudged by a stronger person before an epiphany was possible.

After all, the power and effect of the same spell would be utterly different if unleashed by someone at the Refinement level compared to another person at the Familiar level.

Although spells determined the upper limit, proficiency levels determined the lower limit.

If a person could cultivate an F-Class rule to the level of Perfection, its effect would never lose out to an A-class rule at the Beginner's level.

However, seeing that there was not much time left in the morning, Bai Ze didn't have time to think too much. He immediately put on his coat and rushed to school.

It was eight in the morning.

Bai Ze came to his classroom for lessons.

The Numero Uno High School was a key high school in Maplewood City. The teachers here were strong, and there were a total of ten professors at the level of the sixth ring mage.

The school covered a vast area, and the teaching facilities were also very advanced. It was funded by Maplewood City's government.

He passed through several teaching blocks and a tree-lined path filled with chirping birds and blooming flowers.

Bai Ze came to his class and sat down in his seat.

Jiang Qingyue's seat was not far in front of him.

Beside him, Wu Feng was staring out the window with a tired face.

When the teacher entered the classroom, the students who were discussing immediately quieted down.

Teacher Fang Yu was very famous in the school. At the age of only 25, she had reached the strength of a fifth ring mage.

Today, Teacher Fang Yu was wearing a white ladies' shirt and a black skirt, showing off her long and beautiful legs.

She had an exquisite figure and beautiful dewy eyes. With her high nose bridge, red lips, and white teeth, she exuded an aura full of intelligence and charm, and countless teachers secretly had a crush on her.

Teacher Fang Yu opened her textbook and started giving the students a lecture as usual.

Bai Ze sat upright and still while Wu Feng, sitting beside him, supported his chin with one hand, his eyelids a little heavy.

It looked like he had been playing games all night.

"Magic power is the most important part of casting spells. It is related to the speed and power of the spell, so students should not blindly pursue high-level rules."

"Although the book of meditation is boring, it's very beneficial for improving one's strength. The more abundant the magic power, the better the rule's effect. Moreover, the magic power has no attributes, so it can be molded at will!"

As Teacher Fang Yu said this, she immediately stretched out her hand and waved it slowly in the air.

The students in the first row instantly felt the temperature around them drop. Then, everyone saw the magic power in Teacher Fang Yu's hand slowly condense into an icicle that was dozens of centimeters long!

"As expected from Teacher Fang Yu, her D-class icicle can be so powerful."

Bai Ze murmured. Wu Feng, who was beside him, also became interested at this point, and he stared at the icicle with bright eyes.

[System message: Your basic meditation skill seemed to have gained some enlightenment after listening to the lecture. It has automatically started to deduce the D-class Icicle.]

[Due to the lack of potion nourishment, the deduction time has been greatly extended. Remaining time: 1,085 hours 47 minutes 05 seconds.]

Looking at the notification interface that popped up in front of him, the long string of numbers before Bai Ze's eyes made him dizzy. He roughly calculated the time required.

"Damn, it takes forty-five days to deduce a D-class icicle. I won't make it in time," he thought.

He couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. It seemed that if he wanted to learn magic spells, he had to go through the path of inheritance.

However, the only way for him to obtain through the inheritance method now was to copy the parchment scrolls with a quill pen in the school's Manuscript Library to gain an epiphany.

However, students only had one chance every month to enter a place like the Manuscript Library, and they still had to get the teacher's permission.

When he thought of this, Bai Ze's eyes locked onto Teacher Fang Yu as he got ready to ask her for help after class.

About 20 minutes later, Teacher Fang Yu closed her book. The bell for the end of class finally rang.

Bai Ze immediately stood up from his seat and walked straight to Teacher Fang Yu.

"Bai Ze, is there anything I can help you with?"

Teacher Fang Yu looked at the student walking over and said in surprise.

The reason she was surprised was that during her three years in high school, Bai Ze hardly talked to her. She did not know much about this student.

She only knew that the other party was a student who tended to overemphasize certain subjects. He had not yet awakened his sea of magic power and had a rather dull personality.

"Ms. Fang, I wish to go to the Manuscript Library to learn the rules. I hope you will approve it."

Bai Ze's words attracted the attention of many people in the class.

Those students knew Bai Ze was just an apprentice without magic power. He didn't even meet the conditions to learn the rules of magic.

Going to the Manuscript Library under such circumstances was simply a waste of limited quota!

In the eyes of the classmates, Bai Ze's behavior was obviously designed to attract the attention of Teacher Fang Yu!

The male students instantly looked at Bai Ze with vigilance.

"I say, you haven't even opened up the sea of magic power. How can you have the guts to ask for the teacher's approval?"

"A person like you will never have a chance to learn magic. I advise you to give up on it. You might as well give this opportunity to our class monitor."

"Our class monitor is a third ring mage. If you do this, not only will you be doing her a favor, she might even be happy and take care of you in the future."

At this point, a pale, feminine-looking man stood up and looked at Bai Ze with a sneer.

Bai Ze didn't speak but stared at the other person with an icy cold expression.

"What are you looking at? Don't look for trouble. The class monitor, Liang Rou, is a water-type mage. Her future is limitless. I'm giving you a chance now, so don't be ungrateful!"

The feminine-looking guy saw that Bai Ze did not do as he was told and instead cast a hostile look at himself, which immediately made him angry.

The surrounding students immediately quieted down and turned their eyes to the long-haired girl sitting in the first row.

"Zhang Xian, hurry up and sit down. I'm not as powerful as you say. Since Bai Ze isn't willing, of course, we can't force him."

The class monitor, Liang Rou, slowly stood up and said with a serious face. However, her expression when looking at Bai Ze was somewhat hostile.

"Hehe, the two of you are echoing each other just so that you can obtain the qualification in my hands? You should stop dreaming."

Bai Ze gave a scornful snort. Even in the face of these two people, his momentum did not diminish in the slightest.

"The Manuscript Library isn't open today, so stop quarreling."

Teacher Fang Yu saw that the situation was not turning out well and immediately gave a low shout, interrupting their conversation.

When the class monitor, Liang Rou, saw that the teacher was not very pleased, she immediately lowered her head and sat down. However, her expression turned sinister.

Seeing that things had settled down, Fang Yu turned to Bai Ze and said, "Bai Ze, there are certain prerequisites for entering the Manuscript Library. When your first magic skill has reached the Beginner's level, you can come back to me and apply for the qualification."
