Three months later.
In a classroom at Aelgreen Wizard Academy.
Today is Master Lisa's Positive Energy Principle class. Although the instructor has not yet arrived, the elective apprentices are already seated in the classroom.
Freya sits in the middle of the classroom, focused on a Black Cover Basic Knowledge book in her hands, reading carefully and attentively.
People in this world mature much earlier than in her previous life. At fifteen and a half years old, she has gradually shed her youthful appearance and is developing towards maturity.
The gray Apprentice Robe cannot completely conceal her increasingly developed figure. Her golden hair is simply tied back, and her handsome face is filled with a serious expression.
These three months of study seem to have softened her once iron-willed demeanor; she now appears more like a beautiful girl with an intellectual aura.
Perhaps due to the chosen subject being somewhat niche within the academy, there are only about twenty apprentices present. In contrast, some other popular subjects have classrooms filled with over a hundred apprentices.
Freya knows that nearly one hundred and fifty apprentices have enrolled in the Negative Energy principle course, which is the opposite of Positive Energy Principle, and it is also the most expensive course offered.
Looking up at the circular clock at the front of the classroom, Freya slowly closes the book in her hands.
There are still more than ten minutes until class starts, but she has already finished reading the entire book.
For a book on Basic Knowledge, it is not difficult for her to understand, especially with her exceptional brain and thinking skills compared to some apprentices who struggle with learning.
Moreover, Freya was able to meditate on the fifteenth rune a month ago, officially entering the realm of Second-Class Apprentice.
With the slow transformation of her physique by Energy Particles, she is now capable of attempting to outline simple Spell Models and release Spells.
However, the knowledge of Spell Models requires at least five Magic Stones as payment. This is already at a discounted price from Master Lisa.
As for Freya, she remains broke.
"Looks like Master Lisa is going to be late today," said a boy wearing glasses sitting behind Freya, glancing at the clock with a frown.
"This isn't the first time, so what's the big deal? Official Wizards have their own affairs to attend to besides teaching. If it weren't for the academy's Contract requiring each person to teach at least once a week and earn resources from it, who would bother teaching us?" A girl with rare purple hair next to Freya said calmly, clearly accustomed to this situation.
"Uh... that's true," the boy replied, adjusting his glasses to hide his embarrassment. "But speaking of which, is your family's Official Wizard like that too, Lilian?"
"Of course. A wizard's life is dedicated to pursuing truth and self-development without a moment's pause. That's what my grandfather told me." Lilian showed a faint bitter smile. "Even so, I'm only a Second-Class Apprentice at fifteen. If I’m still at this level by eighteen, my family will probably give up on me."
"Is being a fifteen-year-old Second-Class Apprentice that bad?" Freya asked curiously upon hearing Lilian's words.
After all, she was also fifteen years old, but according to Hegel, her aptitude was considered quite good.
Upon hearing Freya's question, Lilian chose not to respond and lowered her head with a troubled expression.
Seeing Lilian's sudden shift in mood, the boy behind her quietly explained, "Freya. You probably don't know since your home is far across the sea, but Lilian has been exposed to wizard knowledge since she was young... With her family's support, being a fifteen-year-old Second-Class Apprentice is considered somewhat lacking."
"..." Freya, realizing she had misspoken, paused for a moment, unsure how to comfort the downcast Lilian who was looking down.
Just as she was organizing her thoughts, Lilian suddenly lifted her head and flashed a bright smile at her.
"It's okay. This is something everyone knows. There's really nothing to hide. By the way, Freya, I remember when you first arrived, you were a First-Class Apprentice, and now you're a Second-Class Apprentice, right?"
"Yes, I reached that a month ago," Freya replied with a hint of apology in her tone.
"That's quite impressive," the boy behind them said in surprise. "What was your aptitude when you tested? You know, it took me a whole year to go from First-Class to Second-Class, and I've only managed to analyze a simple Zero-Level Spell Model so far."
"I think I tested at Third-Class aptitude," Freya thought for a moment before responding.
The three of them formed a relatively close-knit group and were familiar with each other.
"Third-Class aptitude?" Lilian said with some envy. "That means your accumulation of Basic Knowledge must be much stronger than ours. To reach Second-Class Apprentice, one can choose two types of Zero-Level Spell Models for analysis. What did you choose?"
"Ah... about that, I don't have any Magic Stones on me, so... I haven't chosen yet," Freya said somewhat awkwardly.
"Well, with such a poor financial background, it seems the world is fair after all," the boy behind them remarked lightly as he adjusted his glasses.
"Could you please be quiet, Kaidy..." Lilian said, looking at her companion with exasperation and deciding to ignore his comments from now on. She then turned to Freya to offer comfort.
"Since that's the case, my family has two Magic Stones left for me. If you tutor me for three class hours in the future, I'll give you one. How does that sound?"
"Is this possible?" Freya was slightly taken aback.
Although she had been at the academy for a long time, she had never seen a way to earn Magic Stones. Now, hearing Lilian's words suddenly made her feel like she had found a good method to earn Magic Stones.
"Absolutely. You should know that among the three of us, you are the best at studying. If you tutor others, it would probably be just as good as what the instructors say. Besides, you are already a Second-Class Apprentice, so you can also go to the Mission Area to take on some tasks to earn Magic Stones."
"Earning Magic Stones?" Lilian's latter statement brightened Freya's eyes, and she then asked, "What kind of tasks are there in the Mission Area?"
"There are all sorts of tasks, some difficult and some easy. I often work there," Kaidy said with a familiar tone. "However, it's best to choose tasks that are within your capability; otherwise, even in the academy area, there could be Life Threats."
"Alright, I understand," Freya nodded thoughtfully.
"Hehe, how about I take you to the Mission Area after class so you can get a better understanding? You know I..."
Just as Kaidy was about to continue, Lilian made a shushing gesture and pointed towards the classroom door.
There, Master Lisa in her White Robe walked in with a gentle smile. (To be continued)
