Chapter 808: Chapter 808 Two Kinds of Variation Attributes
This matter wasn’t difficult; in fact, Qin Sisi had occasionally glimpsed those colored lights that lingered around the human body, albeit fleeting, and she had thought they were illusions caused by sunlight.
A quarter of an hour later, Qin Sisi indeed saw a faint light green light surrounding Xiao Meng’s body, which precisely corresponded to Xiao Meng’s level as a magic instructor.
"I see it!" Qin Sisi exclaimed excitedly.
Xiao Meng also laughed and said, "I told you it was simple, you definitely wouldn’t have a problem."
Learning something new made Qin Sisi very happy, and she was filled with anticipation for the upcoming magic classes.
In the afternoon, someone came to Tianyue Mountain to deliver the course schedule for the first academic year to them, one for each person, and they would proceed with their magic study according to the schedule.
Qin Sisi studied it carefully for a while, the content on the schedule was very clear, with learning cycles of half a month, ten kinds of magic and two auxiliary skills in rotation, and the names and requirements of the teachers were also listed.
The sequence of magic study was: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Illusion, Ice, Sound.
In the morning, the teacher would give lectures, and in the afternoon, they could practice according to their own conditions, either by going to the trial tower or the practice hall behind the dormitory.
The entry fee for the practice hall was one low-grade Spirit Stone, and for the trial tower, it was one middle-grade Spirit Stone, each for a duration of five hours.
The Heaven Academy had a total of twelve trial towers, all on the peaks where the teachers resided, except for Tianyi Mountain, where Master Yipiao, the headmaster of Heavenly Magic God’s Castle, resided; they could not enter at will, but they could visit any of the other eleven trial towers.
After studying each of the ten attributes of magic, on the eleventh day they would study alchemy, and on the twelfth day, forging.
Naturally, the teacher for alchemy was Mo Liu, and forging was taught by the Gold Attribute Magic teacher, Wu Duo.
Then there was a three-day holiday, during which they could do as they pleased; those who wanted to continue improving could soak in the trial tower, and those who wanted to lie in bed doing nothing could do so as well, or it seemed like a fine option to stroll around the joint marketplace of the four academies of the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle.
Xiao Meng reviewed it once and began to lament, "My goodness, having to learn all twelve subjects is too tragic!"
Qin Sisi looked at her, puzzled, and asked, "Didn’t you need to learn every type before?"
Xiao Meng shook her head, explaining in detail, "No, the educational task of the Yellow Academy is to try to activate all basic attributes based on practicing the already activated basic attributes; the task of the Xuan Academy is to practice the magic skills of five basic attributes well, and then to activate at least one variation attribute; the task of the Earth Academy is to steadily strengthen the five basic attributes while activating all variation attributes without having studied alchemy and forging."
Qin Sisi was startled and quickly asked, "Have you already activated all the variation attributes?"
Xiao Meng bashfully replied, "Of course not, I’ve only activated two, and I’ve just reached the level of an Intermediate Magic Instructor. Heaven Academy originally recruited only Senior Magic Instructors; in fact, I wasn’t qualified, and it was only by taking advantage of your presence that I was able to come up."
Qin Sisi was somewhat relieved. If all her classmates had already activated all magic attributes, and only she had activated one variation attribute, that would have been truly tragic.
Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered something; while playing music for the Ice-scaled Purple Crystal Python at Tianyin Mountain, she felt a fluctuation of spiritual power in her dantian, could it be related to Music Magic?
Qin Sisi felt a surge of excitement and said to Xiao Meng, "I’m going to go back to my room to rest for a bit, see you later."
After speaking, she hurried into her room like a gust of wind, quickly jumped onto her bed, sat cross-legged, held her breath, and her Divine Sense began to move toward her dantian.
Soon, she saw her Magic Source, with green clouds slowly revolving around the center.
Near the central area, the small bright spots representing the five basic attributes moved slowly with the clouds: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, in black, green, blue, red, and brown.
And in the outer areas, besides the white bright spot representing the Ice Attribute, there indeed appeared an additional purple bright spot.
From her studies of magic theory, Qin Sisi knew that the purple bright spot within the Magic Source represented the Music Attribute.
Thus, she had also activated two variation attributes!
The first day of school, although with a slight hiccup, brought her one small joy after another, leaving Qin Sisi in a very bright mood.
The next morning at seven o’clock, Qin Sisi and Xiao Meng arrived at the canteen located in the valley between Tianyang Mountain and Tianyue Mountain; each paid a low-grade Spirit Stone for their meal, after which they could eat as much as they wanted in the canteen.
The food prices were not expensive, and the quality of the food was average; Qin Sisi recognized one type, the Gold Rice Cake, which she had bought before in Wang City. It turned out that Gold Rice Cake was a very important staple here.
After Xiao Meng explained the origins of other foods, although the names sounded nice, when it came down to it, they were just vegetables, porridge, and juice, without a single meat dish.
Xiao Meng sighed and said, "The canteens at Heavenly Magic God’s Castle are all like this. If you want to eat meat, there are only two ways: one is to go out during the three-day holiday, and the other is to catch a Demonic Beast yourself and have the people at the canteen help prepare it, although you’ll need to share some with them."
Qin Sisi looked at the food, and although it was bland, it was well-prepared; the vegetables and juice looked fresh, and the Gold Rice Cake and porridge were steaming, which did make one’s appetite emerge.
Qin Sisi smiled slightly and said, "Let’s eat quickly. Only with full stomachs can we have the strength to attend classes well."
After speaking, she served herself a bowl of porridge and a portion of vegetables, grabbed a Gold Rice Cake, and poured a glass of juice.
Xiao Meng, having been at Heavenly Magic God’s Castle for several years, had grown somewhat tired of the food, but there was no helping it; as long as she was studying here, she had to eat these meals.
She made a face as she picked out a few somewhat tasty vegetables and took a Gold Rice Cake, sitting opposite Qin Sisi.
Qin Sisi took a bite of the Gold Rice Cake and a bite of vegetables, finding the taste quite good; the Gold Rice Cake had a mild sweetness amidst the rice flavor and the vegetables were very crisp.
After Xiao Meng took a bite of vegetables, she hesitated for a moment in confusion, then suddenly realized, "I understand. The vegetables here are grown in a place with stronger spiritual power, so they taste better than the ones at the Earth Academy."
Qin Sisi also understood what Xiao Meng meant; Heaven Academy, being located in the area with the strongest spiritual power inside Heavenly Magic God’s Castle, not only facilitated the study and practice of magic for teachers and students but also endowed the various animals and plants with more spirituality.
