Frankly, Floret had many questions he wanted to ask.
Especially about the times he was bullied before, he really wanted Flori to keep it a secret – even though the other students knew.
But the others had long been used to such things, wouldn’t care about him, wouldn’t meddle, or make a big deal of it… he hoped Flori would do the same.
Of course, if Flori could still talk to him quietly like a normal classmate, that would be best… After all, others not only weren’t afraid of him, they would also avoid him, fearing that if they interacted with him a little longer, they would get into trouble.
But such words, he really couldn’t bring himself to say, and it was rare for someone to be willing to interact with him normally and equally… If Flori became the same as everyone else tomorrow, wouldn’t he have wasted the opportunity.
So, after pondering for a moment, what he finally said was—
“Miss Haggia, can you tell me how to achieve instant magic, reduce magic power fluctuations, and cast spells without a magic staff in the sorcerer realm?”
He asked the three questions that hadn’t been answered in the morning in one breath.
To be honest, the textbooks in the academy taught these things.
But textbooks, to put it bluntly, teach a common method, such as reaching the great mage realm, according to specific rules, all three things can be achieved naturally.
But in reality, many people could already do it in the sorcerer realm.
He indeed had some skills and tricks, and there were only a few people in similar situations as him.
So most people couldn’t find shortcuts from textbooks or widely known information.
Floret was unfortunately one of them, but as he said before, he didn’t want to be mediocre, he wanted to become strong as soon as possible, strong enough that others wouldn’t dare bully him.
So he prioritized asking questions that could improve himself.
And well… since Flori mentioned it, she was likely one of the geniuses who didn’t hide anything.
He wanted to see if he would be lucky enough to come across a method suitable for him.
[It’s very simple. As long as you continuously improve your magic power quality and operational efficiency with magic, the speed of magic construction will increase, you’ve heard of the magic iron ore theory, right… ]
Flori repeated what she had told Sheen before, but Floret’s level, realm, and knowledge were not as good as Sheen’s, so she focused on explaining the basics of improving his own magic power quality and control.
[C-could it really be done this way?]
Floret was stunned; he never expected the magic iron ore theory to be understood like this.
He immediately tried to cast a spell that could act back on himself, although it wasn’t obvious, the mental perception immediately found it to be effective.
(C-could it really… if I do this long-term, my magic ability will definitely become…) “Light Novel” was sent from the friend group, “and I can have more time to study”, Floret couldn’t be happier in his heart.
But after the happiness, he became a little apprehensive.
Logically speaking, this level of knowledge transfer would cost at least several hundred gold coins as a tuition fee.
But he had spent all his money on study and research, and occasional “tributes,” he simply couldn’t afford such a sum.
[Miss Haggia, this knowledge… is it supposed to be paid for?]
[Yes, five hundred gold coins, but as a friendship price, I’ll charge you two hundred.] The golden-haired girl smiled.
Floret couldn’t help but gasp.
It wasn’t that the price was outrageous; in fact, considering the significance of this knowledge, perhaps a thousand gold coins would be less, because Flori could also publish books and even be selected for textbooks, and every academy would have to pay her a patent fee annually.
But currently, Floret hadn’t seen any similar theories on the market, which meant the other party hadn’t had time to publish a book…
Of course, it was also possible that this was a secret of the Lan Prince’s faction; he could be said to have gotten a great bargain now.
[I-I can write an IOU… Don’t worry, at most a month, I will definitely pay you back!]
But he still shamelessly requested credit… Of course, he didn’t intend to default,
[I will sign a magic contract, and also a confidentiality agreement!]
[No problem, I’m not in a hurry to spend the money. Two months, then.]
[No, just a month.]
Floret hesitated.
Others were helping him, he couldn’t repay them, and he still had to pay them in a normal transaction method, and he even had to extend the credit period… He wouldn’t forget this person.
He also didn’t want to continue doing embarrassing things in front of someone who “didn’t seem to sympathize with him.”
Soon, before they rushed to class, they signed the magic contract.
Flori quietly turned her head back and reported this matter to Sheen.
Looking at Floret immersed in a beautiful future, Flori—
[He really is as you said, has an exaggerated sense of self-esteem.]
Sheen looked at the gloomy young man, even he couldn’t help but feel a headache.
If it were someone whose self-esteem wasn’t so strong, they would have sought help everywhere long ago, maybe even having Flori give this knowledge to them for free…
Of course, Sheen was also extremely disgusted by those who didn’t blush and didn’t feel any gratitude for being helped by others, acting like ungrateful wolves.
Although he didn’t expect Floret to successfully repay the money, he was quite appreciative of the awareness and effort he had shown so far…
It was just that the attitude and approach of Sherlock Holmes towards the insults and tolerance made him feel speechless.
[Your Highness, please abandon the SF light novel’s unrealistic approach.]
[Well… at the worst, at least I should give those beasts a good lesson.]
Sheen, if he were in a similar situation, even if he didn’t seek help, he would definitely fight to the end, even if he had to tear off a few pieces of meat from those bastards to die.
Compromise? Tolerance?
Nonexistent.
The afternoon classes only had three sessions, and they ended in a blink of an eye.
The remaining time was all left for the students to participate in club activities or study in the library; if they officially selected their courses a week later, the afternoon classes would even be reduced to one session or none…
The main thing was to test the self-discipline of students in the fifth grade and above.
“It seems that there won’t be anyone today.”
The two of them went to a relatively secluded place and stayed there for a while, seeing that no one came to contact them, Sheen said with a slight apology.
Without thinking, everyone knew that those who originally had this plan had become afraid to come after he fell out with Arnos.
But even if that matter happened again, Sheen estimated that he still wouldn’t be able to help it…
Thinking like this, he looked at Tianluosha beside him.
“Your Highness doesn’t have to worry, everything will get better slowly, I will definitely change your reputation in the academy!”
Looking at the other party’s sincere face, trying to encourage him.
Sheen felt even more that he had done wrong.
If he really had a place where he didn’t do well, it was that he didn’t give the other party too much help in the subsequent handling.
But he was different from Floret.
He wouldn’t be afraid to owe people favors.
