Chapter 371: Chapter 93: Grande Potion Shop_1
Time gently passed.
In a blink of an eye, two months had gone by.
Half of the autumn semester was over, and on the eve of the mid-term exams, Jasmine completed her promotion.
Thus, she truly matured in the Wizard World.
She had surpassed the Brotherhood Group at a much faster pace.
According to Link’s estimate, the Brotherhood Group, all with lower fifth rank’s aptitude, likely needed the whole semester to complete their promotion.
And that was just a possibility!
By this account, the unknown factors in Serene Wizard’s experiment to enhance wizard qualifications appeared to be of utmost importance.
Serene Wizard took this matter very seriously and searched endlessly, but she made no useful discoveries.
The reason for Jasmine’s exceeding expectations in her wizard qualifications upgrade seemed to have become a mystery.
Considering the special timing, the institution did not allow Jasmine to transfer to the Senior Division mid-term. Instead, they arranged for her to self-study for a while.
It was the same approach they had taken with Link.
The self-study content consisted mostly of the remaining three semesters’ courses, as well as books from the Senior Library.
In this regard, Jasmine could effortlessly pick up the study notes and book index left behind by Link, making a quick start.
Even though she may not grasp the knowledge as quickly as Elise with the help of her soon-to-be promoted Third Level Witch sister, allowing her to enter the Senior Division in the middle of the Autumn term.
Jasmine’s learning speed would still vastly outpace others.
She wouldn’t need much time to complete the self-study phase.
Jasmine was pleased, even though she still couldn’t attend classes in the Senior Division with Link.
Because she could “keep an eye” on Elise’s Green Pond at close range.
In the past two months, Green Pond had invited Link to her apartment multiple times.
Was it merely a strange invitation?
Who was unaware of her dark, scheming thoughts?
Pah!
Shameless and unblushing!
With these thoughts, Jasmine gripped Link’s right hand even tighter.
Link tried to move his arm, but it was firmly held in place.
She seemed determined to make a bold statement of her prerogative.
This led him to reflect on the strange thing about age.
Jasmine was barely over fifteen years old, yet she had already grown into a graceful young lady.
Her overall personality had caught up with her early physical development.
No longer just a budding beauty, she had become an outright stunning woman.
The immature fruit was nearing ripeness, juicy and tempting.
But that meant Link had to keep more distance between them.
He must not forget his gentleman demeanor.
Link said earnestly, “Loosen your grip a bit; it’s not good to hold such a tight hold.”
“Humph, no!”
Jasmine pouted haughtily, showing no intention of loosening her grip.
s far as she was concerned, all that mattered was if she liked it. It didn’t matter if Link did.
Link was left speechless, forfeiting any argument with the stubborn girl on this minor issue.
They walked together to the Senior Division library like this, only parting ways once there.
One went into the library for self-study, the other to take the midterm exam.
Ever since entering the Senior Division, the difficulty and speed of the courses had increased tremendously, along with the exam frequency.
There was a quiz every week, a test every fortnight, and a significant exam every month.
This applied to both major and elective courses.
The exam scores and rankings were printed and posted on the most conspicuous stone “screen” at the entrance of the teaching building for all wizards to see.
Scoring poorly was genuinely embarrassing.
Even in the Senior Division, apart from those who met during their time in the Junior Division, were still strangers.
However, each other’s identity, curriculum vitae, and background were still available.
For instance, Link,a huge celebrity who had Class 1, had been recruited before he even began his studies, and had completed his internship before graduating, was recognized by all wizards in the Senior Division.
If he couldn’t get into the top three, the loss of face would be tremendous.
Not to mention, if he scored well, the institution would likely reward him.
He still remembered clearly how he had lost a few Magic Stones in the Junior Division due to one incorrect operation.
Luckily, Link was naturally gifted. With his impeccable memory brought about by the “Mind Closure Technique” + “Hall of Memories” and minor help from “Multi-Threading Thinking,”
With the full force of studying and the diverse and intricate content of the four major classes and six days of the week, he had firmly secured the first place in all previous tests, be it weekly quizzes, fortnightly tests, or monthly exams.
Only then, was the honor barely preserved.
There was no loss of face in front of more than three-quarters of the 400-plus wizards, most of whom were from the North District.
It was rather the wizards from the former “Pure Blood Will,” now “Pure Blood Glory,” who couldn’t save face.
After seeing that Link was enrolled in many courses, they had mocked him.
Having their taunts thrown back at them was their just desserts.
These were trivial matters and Link only had a slight understanding, without delving deeper.
What he focused on were the two important things: creating a meditation technique and realizing the potential enhancement brought about by the “Small World” upgrade.
Creating a meditation technique was a long-term, meticulous task; it could not be rushed.
As for realizing potential, the earlier the better.
Regarding replenishing resources, apart from keeping some liquid capital, the dividends of these two months were almost entirely used to purchase necessary resources.
