If the mage was compared to an animal, then the mage was only a cub before magic power reached 1,000. The environment of magic power was the same as milk, rich in nutrition and warm without harm to the body.
After magic power reached 1000, the mage was no longer a baby and could eat some normal food.
For mages, normal food was the life energy of other creatures.
Yes, mages were meat-eating animals. The only killing could make a meat-eating animal stronger.
Andrew wasn’t merciful.
He was merciless to his enemies.
What Andrew worried about was that if he could only use this way to promote magic power from now on, it meant that he would always be in danger.
“In the business of mages, there is never the saying that everyone gets along well with each other. Every strong man step on a mountain of corpses.”
Sarah’s words made Andrew feel the same way.
The mage was also a part of nature.
There was only one law in nature: the law of the jungle.
It was reasonable that creatures that couldn’t accept killing could only be killed.
Of course, in addition to killing, there were other ways to promote after reaching 1,000 magic power.
However, these methods all required extremely expensive medicine. If the conditions did not allow it, killing might become the most cost-effective method of practice.
After this battle, Andrew had probably grasped the method of absorbing life energy to increase the strength of magic power, which had laid a solid foundation for his future growth.
He picked up the hoe and smashed it hard on the rock wall.
A large piece of ore was smashed down.
The original ores of the secret silver and the refined gold were extremely hard. It took the five of them more than an hour to collect all the ores they needed.
The last step was to collect the horns.
Because all the women refused to touch this disgusting monster, especially the stinky mucus on its body.
Not knowing if it was an illusion, the mucus on the bodies of the spider sheep became smelly after they died.
In the end, only Andrew and Nason could do this kind of dirty work.
It was half-past one in the afternoon when they finally collected the horns.
Andrew didn’t forget to cut open the head of the spider sheep and check them one by one.
In the end, Andrew got 30 low-grade demon cores.
After confirming that there was no mistake, they flew into the air towards the main campus.
They exchanged for points at the trial center and each of them could get 174 points.
And the previous 450 points, now the highest amount of points in the team was 624 points.
After that, Andrew took his people to the teaching building.
They entered the classroom.
Rachel was having a class.
When she saw it was Andrew, she blushed and turned her head away, not daring to look at Andrew.
“Go back… To your seat.”
Andrew took his people directly to her desk.
He didn’t want to learn.
Andrew needed an environment to digest what he had learned today, and at the same time, to check Rachel’s condition.
Seeing that she was safe and sound, Andrew felt a little relieved.
As for the reason why he didn’t respond, many students in the class coveted Rachel’s beauty.
Andrew didn’t want to further attract hatred for Rachel.
So it was the best choice to ignore them.
When he passed by Shane, Shane snickered at him. He wondered what he was up to.
But Andrew didn’t care.
Sitting at the desk, Andrew leaned his head against it and dozed off.
He calculated the date carefully.
There were 160 days left.
What Andrew needed to do was to raise magic power to 2,200 within the 160 days, and successfully enter the holy mage through the breakthrough consciousness barrier.
But Andrew still had 1,373 magic power left.
Does it need to increase the magic power by 2.6 times within 160 days?
Andrew was getting more and more anxious.
Rachel, Sarah, and the red king were waiting for Andrew to solve all the problems.
Unconsciously, it was three o’clock in the afternoon.
“Well, everyone, that’s all for today’s class.”
Rachel sorted out her books and said, “By the way, you have to learn alchemy from tomorrow on. Please don’t be late.”
Alchemy?
All the students were in an uproar and showed an excited expression.
Andrew raised his head in surprise.
Alchemy was a course that every mage would need to learn after reaching a certain level.
It was known to all that at the trial center all over the world, the mages could get points through commission, and then use points to exchange for equipment and materials.
However, the mage’s equipment they exchanged was all common equipment.
For example, although Andrew’s regular equipment, Artemis’s eyes, and the strong attack belt could be exchanged in Law School, most of them were replicas, and their performance was less than half of the original version.
Even if the original one could be copied, the price would be extremely high. It was not worthwhile.
As for the special magic equipment like the frozen dragon boots and the dragon extinguishing cage hand, you can’t even think about it.
Even if there were, most of them were copycats, and their performances were less than 1/10 of the original version.
The equipment of any excellent mage must be made by himself.
Only this kind of designer and exclusive equipment was the most suitable for himself and could maximize the power of the mage.
Therefore, alchemy was a required course for the mage.
Some of the reasons why some mages didn’t practice were that their talent was not good enough to reach this level all their life.
And this was the second semester of grade three in Lion Eagle Mage Academy.
In Law School, the first semester of grade two had just passed a month. Was it about to begin?
Andrew said excitedly.
What he lacked now was equipment.
It was normal that there was a two or three-fold gap between the strength of a full load mage and a bare load one.
The mage was full of fifteen pieces of equipment.
Among the students here, Shane was wearing 11 pieces of equipment.
Although they were all exchanging goods, their performances were good.
But what about Andrew?
Only six pieces of equipment.
One of them was a school uniform with poor performance.
The alchemy course was the second indispensable way for Andrew to grow up.
The students of Law School had the right to study healing magic, a low-rank one.
That was to say, there would be medicine and healing magic lessons to learn in the future.
And the materials needed for so many supporting courses were huge.
Law School only provided the crude copper mine, low-grade magic crystal, and some materials of low-grade monsters for free.
He had to figure out other materials by himself.
They should hurry up to collect the materials that they didn’t use much before.
That was to say.
It was not until then that Andrew realized that the leisure period that he only needed to meditate and do commission was about to come to an end.
He raised his head and found that Shane was looking at him with a snicker.
‘what’s wrong with him?’
Andrew ignored him and felt regretful.
‘If I had known earlier about the growth of the mage, I wouldn’t have let him go in the corridor.’
