After countless attempts, Ery found that catching the little creature was apparently much harder than he thought. Ery already gave up trying to catch the thing only using one root. It was simply impossible with his current proficiency of the spell.
Hence, he attempted the task with two roots instead of one. The roots ca from both sides of the creature, trying to trap it. Alas, the little thing even managed to slip by with that setup, proving the job was extrely difficult.
Ery needed a lot of focus to just channel the spell and order one root into moving, and it was even harder for Ery to control both at the sa ti. The lightning fast speed the little creature exhibited also did not help in his endeavor.
While Ery was tortured by the little creature, he couldn't help but think that fighting against Lodos or Micah was preferable to this.
Without Ery realizing it, the sun was already rising at the horizon and slowly making its way up the sky, signifying the end of today's spell training. Even so, Ery was still unable to catch the little creature. Not even one ti.
Ery laid down on the ground, beaten up and exhausted due to the training. He closed his eyes and rested for a while, before he rose up and walked towards the door. Ery turned his head to take a last glance, only to find out the little creature was five ters away from him.
The gesture the little creature showed annoyed Ery, as he was sure the creature was still taunting him. Ery also swore he could hear the slippery creature laugh at him with its piercing squeaks.
Calming his mind and dragging his sowhat exhausted body, Ery imdiately went to Elder's Respite and spent the entire day cultivating inside the origin stone room.
[1000 contribution points used]
With today and yesterday's used contribution points, Ery still had 86,650 contribution points in his pocket. That amount was abundant enough to let him use the origin stone room until the last day of his second year at the academy. But currently, instead of resources, Ery's main problem was ti. There were only 9 days until the third ga and he needed to reach rank 7 acolyte with that amount of ti.

Ery spent 8 hours in the origin stone room, sitting in lotus position and learning to absorb and cultivate his understanding of the plant elent.
Plant Elent, an elent that was associated with life. Ery concentrated his mind, as he tried to delve into the true aning of the elent, hoping he would reach an epiphany.
Alas, despite spending the whole day inside the room, Ery was still unable to break through. But he surely increased his understanding of the elent by a large amount.
Ery imdiately returned back to the training cube and once again practiced with the thundermouse. And to his surprise, Ery felt he was able to control the roots faster and more precisely. However, he was unsure if it was his increased proficiency with the spell or his increased understanding of the plant elent that allowed him to do so.
Even though Ery was still unable to catch the creature, at least this ti he was able to wipe away the creature's arrogant attitude.

Day 3
After three days of continuous cultivation in the origin room, Ery finally broke through the next rank in the plant elent.
[Ery Ambrose]
[Plant Spirit - mid foundation]
[Water Spirit - early foundation]
[Earth Spirit - early foundation]
As he reached the mid stage, Ery could perceive the power and control he had over the plant elent had increased by a huge margin. And with this increased power, he was ready to catch the slippery rat.
During the night practice with the beloved rat, Ery felt the [Shadow Root Binding]'s roots were much more easier to control than before. Therefore, Ery swiftly casted the spell and ordered the roots to move upon his will, surrounding the thundermouse.
Within five minutes, the little creature was finally captured, as its body was entangled by two darkish roots erging from the ground. Slowly, Ery ordered the roots to rise into the air, until the captured mouse was at level of his eyes.
As he walked closer to the now helpless creature, to his surprise, the once arrogant and annoying little creature has turned into a pitiable, asking for rcy with its two big eyes.
"Good job, Ery." Magus Xion, who had just appeared out of nowhere, said with a smile.
"Because of your breakthrough in the plant elent, the challenge has beco too easy for you. Therefore, we will increase the difficulty."
Ery realized the magus had co with another cage and released two more identical thundermouse. Ery reluctantly released the captured thundermouse and it imdiately ran again, followed by its two new companions and started taunting him again. The three small creatures looked exactly the sa and it seed the newly two also shared the first's arrogant attitude.
Ery wonders with its annoying attitude, this creature really is the most brilliant training partner.
Imdiately after, Ery casted three shadow roots, one for each of them. Unfortunately for Ery, the three creatures were heading towards different directions. Shaking his head, he could only order the roots to split up and go after them. Thanks to that, it beca even more difficult for Ery to catch the creatures.
Ery imdiately casted the spell to his current maximum ability. Two more roots erged from the floor and chased after the creatures. But when he tried to control all five, the speed of the roots decreased by a lot.
Moreover, the thundermice were zooming all over the confined space making the difficulty of catching them shot to the sky. There was even one ti his roots were entangled with each other because the thundermouses' paths intersected with each other. A new level of challenge that Ery needs to solve.
On the morning of the fourth day, Ery once again lay flat on the ground, defeated. anwhile, the three thundermouses already stopped their crazy streaks and watched the laying Ery with arrogant posture, including the first thundermouse.
Ery was so exhausted he unconsciously fell asleep. An hour later, he was woken up from his sleep by a notification.
[Apprentice, the apothecary exam will be held today, if you wish to participate, co before noon.]
Ery slapped his forehead as he read the ssage. All these matters of the ga surely made him forget about the apothecary exam. It was said to be held once every month and it had been three weeks since Cedric told him about the exam.
This announcent did give him a headache. After all, currently he was really busy with his training in preparation of the ga. Should he just wait for the next month's exam?
Ery swiftly walked out of the room and looked for Magus Xion, as he wanted to consult with him on this matter. Surprisingly, Magus Xion's response to the matter was not what Ery expected.
"You can go, Ery. Actually, you should go." Magus Xion answered calmly.
"Eh? Why, master? Isn't the ga important?"
"The ga is indeed important. But if you are able to beco a successful artisan, your value would be even higher than becoming a magus."
Ery nodded his head, showing he understood. He turned around and was about to walk away when a question suddenly flashed in his mind,? "By the way master, will there be limitations on weapons or equipnt in the third ga?"
"No, there aren't. You are good as long as you don't use anything higher than tier 3."
"What if I use potions? Will it be alright then?"
Magus Xion thought for a second before saying, "It should be fine as long as it's still no more than tier 3 classification. But if it isn't your own making then it's the sa case as the bloodline, it will not catch the attention of the grand magus."
Upon hearing that, Ery looked even more forward for the exam. At the end of the day, Ery always found the apothecary to be what he enjoyed the most.
Today, on the fourth day, Ery decided to take a break from his training and go to Golden City for his apothecary exam.
