Chapter 5 Star Tower
Viktor pondered for a moment, then put both books into his pocket.
Nina glanced at him and asked:
"Is there anything else you'd like to ask?"
Victor shook his head slightly:
"I roughly understand what a mentor's apprentice is supposed to do..."
"But senior, besides questions about alchemy, may I ask you some other questions?"
"For example... how do I use the academy points?"
Nina's face showed a hint of surprise, then she raised an eyebrow:
"Haven't you used up all your college points yet?"
"I thought you little guys would all use up all your points right away."
Viktor couldn't help but give a wry smile.
It wasn't that he didn't want to use it; it was purely an accident.
Having been bedridden for several days, I didn't even have the strength to eat or drink, so I had no interest in figuring out how to use the academy points.
Right now, I'm just hoping to get some advice from this high-ranking wizard apprentice, even if it's just a shot in the dark.
But Nina did not offer her own advice:
"You want my advice... but my advice is to do it your own way."
"Although a junior wizard apprentice is only the lowest level of a wizard, if we consider the path of a wizard as building a house, then the junior wizard stage is the period of laying a solid foundation."
"Precisely because our strength is still weak, even if we feel that the current foundation is not suitable, we can try to change to a foundation that is more suitable for us."
"The knowledge that academies can offer is vast and varied, but the knowledge that you can choose from it is the one that suits you."
"Every wizard's path to growth and trajectory is different, at most only similar... so you should choose for yourself, I won't give you any advice."
After Nina finished speaking, she looked at Viktor's thoughtful expression and laughed again.
He raised his hand, glanced at the watch-like object on his wrist, and spoke again:
"That's alright, I have some things to take care of today, so I won't be able to find the time to give you detailed guidance."
"So you should use all those college points first."
"Go back and read the two books I gave you carefully. I'll be here waiting for you at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Then you'll officially get into work mode."
"Or you can wander around here and get familiar with the environment first."
"Is this arrangement acceptable?"
"Of course, no problem, Nina."
Victor placed his hands in front of him, performing a noble gesture reminiscent of Feltrol.
Nina readily accepted, then turned and strode away, leaving the rest of the time for Viktor to arrange as he pleased.
Victor didn't rush to leave, but instead took a look around the experimental building. Although he could only move around within the first floor, as the territory of a formal wizard, it was indeed equipped with a lot of advanced equipment and precious materials.
But just as predicted, Viktor couldn't see any of the items on the panel or select any equipment.
Therefore, Victor was almost certain of his guess:
"It seems that only items that are entirely mine can be equipped..."
This guess was reasonable, and he had expected it, so it didn't affect his mindset.
However, this means I really have no intention of staying here any longer.
After searching around for Nina without finding her, Victor walked out of the laboratory building.
The alchemical golem at the entrance still stood there, but it didn't react to Viktor, who had already gained access. Viktor, who wasn't one to be impulsive, simply glanced at the golem before turning and walking towards the Star Tower of the academy.
......
The Star Tower is located in the very center of the academy.
As the most important building in the Morningstar Wizarding Academy, it is the center of the entire academy and even the entire city of Morningstar.
The "Constant Magic - Eye of the Star" at the top of the tower covers the entire city, constantly detecting any magical fluctuations, large or small, and responding promptly.
The Wizard's Treasury and the Void Mirror within the tower are the most important strategic resource reserves and communication devices for the entire academy, used for communication and trade with other wizarding forces.
The "Heart of the Star" at the bottom of the tower is a product of a complex set of high-level sorcery combined with alchemy.
All the points, tasks, and assessments of all academy wizards are processed here, and the system makes the decisions.
However, the decision to make all these things was not made by a specific wizard, but by the magical life form "Star Heart," which was created and resembled an AI.
This person presented herself as a beautiful but extremely cold-faced girl who, upon noticing Viktor approaching, took the initiative to speak:
[Identity verification... Apprentice Victor, what do you need?]
Victor's gaze fell on the illusory girl in front of him. Even though he already knew that the technological level of the wizard civilization was far beyond his imagination, he still couldn't help but be a little shocked at this moment... After all, the original owner of this body had lived in a country that was like the Middle Ages for more than ten years.
The result was that on the same planet, in the wizard's city, there was something that resembled artificial intelligence... He didn't know how to react.
He could only quickly compose himself and speak calmly:
"I want to exchange my academy points for resources for witchcraft and cultivation."
Your current academy points are: 100.
Based on your academy points and current access levels, here are the witchcraft spells I've selected for you to redeem.
Starheart's voice was cold and crisp. After it finished speaking, a light screen was projected down from its body, displaying dense text. These were all spells that Victor could choose to exchange for, but since he was only a low-level wizard apprentice, they were all zero-level spells.
Victor's gaze fell on the light screen, and he began to carefully select:
"Oil-based spell... Magic missile... Wind pressure protection... Negative energy ray..."
"The quantity is more than I expected."
Viktor couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
He didn't have much difficulty making decisions, but there were just too many zero-ring witchcraft options available, and he didn't know how to choose the one that suited him best.
But he calmed down soon after.
To put it bluntly, these are just zero-level witchcraft. As long as you don't try to learn too many, you can increase your means of dealing with various situations by learning a few more.
In addition, the exchange price for a zero-ring witchcraft is only 20 academy points, which is not unaffordable for him. Even if he makes the wrong choice, it's not a big deal.
Therefore, after considering his situation and the possible circumstances he might face, Victor ultimately chose two zero-ring spells as his starting point.
These two types of witchcraft are:
[Zero Ring Sorcery: Magic Impact] and [Zero Ring Sorcery: Blood Shield].
