The next day.
Which is the Monday of the seventh week of school.
Early in the morning, in the cafeteria.
Link and Jasmine sat facing each other, eating breakfast in silence.
Before parting ways last night, Jasmine suggested that, to prevent Rivers and Erick from acting recklessly out of desperation and venting their anger on her, they should stick together.
Link didn’t object, as long as it didn’t affect his studies and part-time work.
So Link went to the Third Botanical Garden first to check on the condition of the Silver Star Flower Seeds, finding them even more vibrant and free of any issues. He then relaxed and cast the Ultra Model Sub-Elementary Misty Rain Technique.
After a period of Shallow Meditation, recovering his spiritual power and Magic Power, Link invited Jasmine to have breakfast in the cafeteria.
Having completely cleared his plate, Link wiped his mouth with a napkin, picked up his tray, and walked out.
Every grain of rice and each thread of fabric; always bear in mind the difficulty of economic survival.
Link had a deep impression of this admonition in his past life, but due to lack of understanding, he often wasted food.
In this life, after more than a year of barely getting enough to eat, and the food was anything but good, Link’s awareness improved.
Based on this, Link developed the habit of not wasting food.
But he only disciplined himself and didn’t impose his standard on others, thus he never criticized Jasmine’s eating habits.
Jasmine, after all, was a noble by birth, used to the life of only eating a tiny bit of every food, tasting it, then leaving it. For quite a span of time, she left most of her food on her plate every day.
Especially during the first two weeks of schooling.
Back then, Jasmine was close to Link, but not that close.
If you really break it down, they weren’t that familiar with each other.
At that time, Jasmine only trusted her intuition that Link had unique qualities worth investing in and getting close to.
Even though she had shown some affectionate gestures towards Link, it was not out of genuine feelings, but merely the superficial acts played by nobles, feigned affection with a hidden agenda.
Therefore, Link responded with indifference, unmoved.
It was not until after the picnic on the lakeside lawn organized by the “New Blood Mutual Aid Association” that Jasmine reflected on herself and truly transitioned from a noble child to a New Blood wizard.
In the following three weeks, Jasmine’s behavior underwent major changes compared to the first two weeks.
She began subtly emulating Link.
For instance, reducing unnecessary socializing and entertainment, focusing on studying, not causing trouble, and valuing food…
Thus, by now, Jasmine had also started to take as much as she could eat, and there were no leftovers on her plate for three meals a day.
The two put their trays on the return stack and walked out of the cafeteria side by side, heading towards the laboratory building.
As the courses progressed, the content of “Botany”, “Zoology”, and “Human Anatomy” was no longer limited to the books. A lot of knowledge had to be explained using specimens, or by hands-on dissection, to be better grasped. The day’s classes were all held in the laboratory building.
Two sessions in the morning were “Botany” and “Zoology”, and the two in the afternoon were “Human Anatomy”.
The concentration of course content resulted in a tremendous amount of information.
The teachers, each with their laid-back attitude, taught the classes at their own pace, never slowing down or offering opportunities for questions.
Keep up if you can, and keep trying if you can’t. If you don’t understand, you have to prepare before class and review after class on your own.
No teachers would spoil the New Blood.
These Official wizards’ time was extremely valuable. With their own heap of projects to do, they wouldn’t waste time on the New Blood.
Link, who mastered the highest Realm of the Mind Closure Technique, studied every day, and had accumulated a large amount of knowledge, felt dizzy and had a hard time digesting all that he had learned in a day’s classes
Not to mention the others.
Jasmine was grimacing in pain, looking utterly miserable.
Link had no intentions of comforting Jasmine.
After dinner, having sent Jasmine to the reading room in the library, Link headed straight to the Third Botanical Garden to check on the seeds and cast the Ultra Model Sub-Elementary Misty Rain Technique and Birth Induction Technique twice each.
During that time, Link ran into Sophie Lucia once again.
Link had no interest in trying to warm up to someone being cold to him. Seeing Sophie Lucia with a poker face, he had no intention of greeting her.
Following Link’s departure, Sophie Lucia entered greenhouse number three in row three.
After checking a few places and examining the conditions of the Silver Star Flower Seeds, Sophie Lucia’s eyes filled with confusion.
She was sure that Link hadn’t used the method of one Sub-Elementary Misty Ram Technique followed by one Birth Induction Technique to cultivate these seeds.
Normally, these seeds shouldn’t be so full of life at this point.
Even using the aforementioned method to cultivate them, the seeds’ condition shouldn’t be this good!
“Did he use some kind of nutrient solution, or potion?”
Question arose in Sophie Lucia’s mind, which was quickly dismissed.
Nutrient solutions and potions can only be bought with Magic Stones, which she herself was reluctant to spend. A commoner New Blood like him couldn’t possibly be so generous, let alone rich.
“So, did he use some special method?”
Sophie Lucia speculated, instantly becoming interested.
The demand for the pistils of Silver Star Flowers was high in the outside world.
After all, people always get hurt and need treatment.
However, the tricky issue of Silver Star Flower seeds being difficult to germinate limited their yield.
At present, any method that was effective in germinating Silver Star Flower seeds was extremely valuable.
If that commoner truly had found a new germinating method, then she had to find a way to probe it.
If it had considerable economic value, she might need to find a way to get the germinating method for herself.
She could simply pay him a sum of Magic Stones to buy the method outright.
A commoner like him who hadn’t seen the world would surely be stunned when faced with a pile of Magic Stones.
Thinking this, Sophie Lucia increased her attention to greenhouse number three in row three, deciding to come and check over the next few days.
Of course, Link was unaware of what had happened after he left.
As soon as he entered the reading room of the library, Jasmine told him about a message passed on by Mina Havcheck.
Rivers and Erick had a falling out last night.
The two had a big quarrel in Erick’s dormitory first, then fought.
Rivers, blinded by lust and anger, fought frantically, even with a deep wound in his chest and belly that exposed the viscera. He spewed a breath of fire, burning Erick into a human torch.
The Intelligent Law Enforcement Puppet arrived just in time so that Erick wasn’t burned alive. He was only burned to the point of disfigurement and needed his limbs amputated.
Rivers is already in custody, and the subsequent punishment hasn’t been announced yet, but it certainly wouldn’t be light.
Mina Havcheck expressed her apologies and gratitude.
Link merely nodded, not too excited.
After all, his own strength wasn’t adequate, and he had not managed to handle the matter perfectly.
Since they weren’t dead, the danger still lurked.
There might be more trouble ahead..
