Magic!

Chapter 74 72. Opportunity to obtain contracted spirit body

In Professor Opal's private office.

Russell nodded: "Yes, Professor, I did try to find some tasks on the campus website, but the tasks that freshmen can take basically require task experience."

"Then go and take on some missions, so that you can have mission experience." Opal smiled.

"So I plan to take on some tasks, but these tasks require me to have task experience." Russell shrugged helplessly.

The tasks arranged by Professor Black Amber are secret tasks and obviously cannot be included in the resume publicly.

Opal reached out and asked Russell to sit down:

"I happen to want to send out a task recently, so why not send it to you directly."

"Don't you need to put it on the official website for public bidding?" Russell knew that the rewards for this kind of tasks were mainly given by the school rather than the teachers, and reminded him of some things in the world of ordinary people.

"There is no need. Professors always have some power compared to ordinary teachers." Opal shook her hand.

In this story, ordinary teachers have no plot, and the three teachers with a sense of presence are all professors. Russell muttered silently.

"What's more, even if the requirements must be posted on the official website for open recruitment, I can design a requirement that only you can meet. For example, who won the first place in the admissions examination, defeated the old students in the magic showdown, died The new life of the spirit and life system." Opal couldn't help but laugh as he spoke, as if he was mocking the mechanism.

Russell probably guessed that Professor Opal was optimistic about him and intended to train him. In the academy, there will also be various factional conflicts among teachers, and having good friends with potential students is always a kind of capital.

You know, if you can reach the third grade and enter a higher education institution, your status will skyrocket, even surpassing that of some teachers. There is no curriculum in colleges and universities, it is more like a place for geniuses to study.

Professor Opal handed over a stack of documents:

"Russell, this task may be related to the troubles caused by spirits, and it needs a psychic like you in the Department of Death and Life to solve it. Generally speaking, I would not assign this task to freshmen who just enrolled this year, but you are different. .

"You and Clara were actually able to defeat the Emerald Cat and Wolf Spider. This shows that your practical magic level is extremely outstanding even among first-year students."

Russell took the document:

"Well, I am in the mid-level of first grade, but I can challenge beyond the next level."

Professor Opal obviously didn't understand Subway's strength classification method: "What is mid-year strength?"

Before Russell could explain, he immediately smiled and said:

"But it doesn't matter, the task is left to you anyway.

“The abandoned tower in the college has been making strange noises from time to time recently, and students have encountered strange things nearby.

"Divination and prophecy show that there is more than 80% probability that it is a ghost, and the level of the ghost should not be too high, and the risk of the relevant investigation is also within a reasonable range.

"A teacher went to investigate before. Unexpectedly, the abnormality disappeared for a short time as soon as the teacher went. A few days after the investigation was completed, the strange sound appeared again.

"We all have scientific research tasks, and it is impossible to spend time monitoring this matter, so I leave it to students like you.

“From now on, you are responsible for investigating the problems in the tower, which may take a long time.

"If you can find out the truth or provide core clues, you will be awarded 15 credits. If you can directly solve the problem of the spirit causing trouble, or the level of the spirit exceeds expectations, there will be generous additional rewards! For example, a large number of college gold coins."

Russell patted his chest with his right hand:

"I will work hard to complete the task!"

Speaking of which, the ghost anomaly in the tower appeared recently, and the Demonic Order "Chaos Red" probably only started making big moves recently.

Is there any connection between the two?

Russell couldn't help but let his thoughts wander.

Around him, many seemingly unrelated events are connected to each other.

And among the people he has come into contact with now, the only Nocturne classmate who is suspected of being a demon believer is from the necromancy and life department!

Russell believes that this gloomy girl who has the same major as him and must have a hidden card is fully capable of creating similar phenomena of ghost trouble...

After thinking about it, another question popped up in Russell's heart.

But does it mean anything to the Demonic Order just to make an abandoned tower haunted?

"By the way, Professor Opal, I just have a question to ask you."

Russell retracted his divergent thoughts, returned to reality, and took the opportunity to ask the question that he had been confused about before:

"After listening to your class on the principles of witchcraft, I made a little improvement on the soul-stirring technique that is an extension of necromancy. In the process, I feel that my spiritual level has increased slightly. Why? ?”

Opal's expression suddenly became more solemn:

"I'm afraid you have felt the feedback of practicing the supernatural. This is another way to improve your supernatural power in addition to normal spiritual practice.

"Generally speaking, freshmen only need to be exposed to corresponding knowledge after half a year of admission. Russell, your talent is really good."

"Practice extraordinary?" Russell was puzzled.

Opal explained:

“The blood sacrifices performed by the Aztecs and devil worshippers, the druid priests communicating with oak trees, the enlightened people studying objects to gain knowledge, and the actions of extraordinary people in certain religions to accumulate merit are all regarded as a way to practice the extraordinary. . That is, through some kind of practice, rather than just sitting in a place meditating and visualizing, you can accumulate strength and improve your level."

Russell clapped his hands violently:

"I understand, it's just to upgrade the mission!

"The character has been sitting in one place meditating or training repeatedly. He is indifferent to the world and cannot trigger the plot at all. Therefore, the story must be set so that you can quickly upgrade by doing certain things, such as treasure hunting, role-playing, and life-and-death battles. , kill monsters to gain experience points, and complete system tasks.

"Damn it, I should have thought of it, there must be such a setting!"

Opal thought Russell's logic was a little weird, but didn't point it out.

"So, professor, how can I practice extraordinary things and get feedback?" Russell asked again.

Opal answered:

"As long as you practice the professional core courses, there is a certain probability of receiving extraordinary feedback. But it is useless to just use magic at a shallow level, such as students from the element and energy department throwing fireballs into the air.

“What you need is to deeply understand your professional core competencies and practice them.

"The core course of your first-year major is spiritism, so when you deeply communicate, disperse, gain insight, comfort, and tame powerful spirits, as well as when you actively improve your spiritism and deepen your understanding of spirits, you have a chance to obtain Feedback from practicing extraordinary. The specific way of practicing extraordinary is different for each person, and it varies from person to person.”

Russell's eyes revealed a bit of joy:

"Then if I can solve the case of the haunting spirit in the tower, or even catch the haunting spirit and turn it into my own contracted spirit, can I also get feedback?"

"Of course." Opal smiled half-heartedly.

"Thank you, teacher!"
