"The first thing you should do is try your best to disguise yourselves as natives of that world during exploration!" a hoarse voice spoke calmly while delivering a lecture.He scanned the class before adding, "Even if it means using Polymorph magic or even better, advanced transformation magic.""Swish—"The sound of chalk scraping against the blackboard echoed."Of course, I personally don't recommend you rely too heavily on Polymorph.Because to truly integrate into the local society, you must fully understand the local culture and customs.For this, I have specially summarized a few key points for your reference and study, for a fee ofcourse."On the podium, an elderly man in a Red Wizard Robe, illuminated by several ever-burning lamps, was sweating profusely as he wrote something with a piece of chalk.In fact, he didn't originally need to light so many ever-burning lamps.Because his bald head was already bright enough.However, since this course, titled "Beginner's Guide to Imag

Selene's platinum hair draped over her shoulders, she looked at Ivan with some confusion.Although she had good talent, she had only just arrived here, so her knowledge of the Magical World was still quite limited."Yes, for us wizards, spiritual power or rather, as we like to call it, mental power is the most important thing; it is the very foundation of everything.Without it, we cannot learn spells, cannot draw runes, and cannot use extraordinary items or sense magic fluctuations.And meditation is the key to improving spiritual power." His heterochromic eyes studied the young girl's expression for a second before adding, "A good meditation method help us condense and enhance spiritual power more quickly, every other course is there to push us further."As Kai spoke, he used a special quill to transcribe all the knowledge about 【Gander's Star Cluster Meditation】 that he had just obtained, under Selene's gaze.Soon, a parchment filled with neat 'celfan' writing appeared before them.

Fluttering her beautiful large eyes. Selene asked, "So, what do I do now?"Kai pondered for a moment before saying, "There's still more than half a month before new apprentices get sorted to their respective towers. It's impossible to grasp too much knowledge of Alchemy Construct Studies.The next best thing is demonstrating results."While speaking, he pointed at the blueprint on the table: "Mana Mechanical Arms are one of the most basic and common construct in Alchemy Construct Studies.""It is not only an important component of a combat puppet, but it can also be transplanted onto the human body, just like witch body modification under Witchcraft studies.Moreover, the production process of a Mana Mechanical Arm is a very comprehensive cycle, involving various aspects like material purification, energy conversion, magic circuit design, and rune inlaying... it's the best entry point for you to display your understanding of Alchemy Construct Studies."He glanced at her reaction with

---It was already a new day,Kai closed the door to his quarters without a sound.It was already a minute past three in the morning, so the corridors were somewhat empty.The air in the corridor felt different—less heavy, less suffocating during this time—but the clinging sense of unease remained. His body reacted strangely every time he walked through the lonely corridors, as though a phantom hand pressed down on his chest, whispering fear into his blood. But the feeling comes and goes quickly...He walked on, eyes low, footsteps measured."Forest of Echoes..." he muttered under his breath.He almost laughed. Of course, the system would lead him there. Not the safe ritual rooms of the tower, not the forges overseen by neutral artificers. No—straight into one of Nefaria's forbidden zones."It wants me to risk my neck..." His lips curved faintly, humorless. "Or maybe that's what it means to follow the Witch King path. No shortcuts."He made his way down the spiraling staircases, past

As Kai kept inspecting the mechanical arm, he realized that Selene probably still had more to say.Unable to ignore it any longer, He frowned and asked"Did something happen?"Selene hesitated for a moment, but eventually recounted everything that had happened a day earlier at the market, in full detail...As her words fell, the room fell silent.She lowered her head, her small hands nervously rubbing the corner of her clothes, seemingly worried that he would scold her.However, Kai did not do so.He instead asked a question that she had never expected:"So, why do you think... this guy named Bran would publicly clash with you at this point?"She was stunned, momentarily unsure how to answer.'Why publicly clash? Wasn't it simply because the other party was an arrogant and overbearing young noble?' She wondered but quickly dismissed such simple thoughts.Although she didn't know what he meant by the sudden question, after being asked in this manner, clever Selene realized that the sma
