Rosenberg gave him very good advice, since the foundational magic theory knowledge has been completed, he should continuously study magic; with more usage, he can qualify to analyze its essence.
As for "Magic Rune Introduction" and "Mage Promotion Path," Li Qing just skimd them. Magic Runes are more about arranging magic arrays and enchantnt knowledge. He can learn runes, but for now, the focus remains on learning Level 0 Magic.
And the Mage Promotion Path only talks about the standards for mages and the various paths derived from magic.
Demon Swordmaster, Warlock, Priest, Knight, and dozens of other career paths.
For Li Qing at the mont, it's completely aningless unless he reaches the level of Advanced Magic Apprentice; only then will career advancent study be worthwhile.
While pondering on the way, a sudden voice ca from the side.
"Classmate from the human world, are you going to the library?"
Li Qing snapped back to awareness, turned around, and relaxed upon seeing the black-robed figure. He had been walking in a misty haze, barely making out the road around him, which felt unsettling.
Although Gray Magic Academy prohibits fights among students, the person approached with an alluring tone, clearly with no good intentions.
The figure was hunched, with a bent back, yet appeared quite large, standing at least 1.9 ters even so.
Moreover, Li Qing accurately caught the person's ntion of "classmate from the human world," further corroborating his suspicion.
Li Qing calmly said, "What's the matter, fellow student?"
"Hey~ Don't be so wary of everything. You humans are like this, holding extre hostility towards creatures divergent from humans."
He shrugged, his tone imbued with a sense of ease: "I'm called Hertos, what about you?"
"... Blind Monk."
"Blind Monk? What a strange na, sounds like you're blind." Hertos pointed to himself, proudly said: "Listen to my na, Hertos!"
Li Qing casually asked, "Does it have any aning where you co from?"
"Of course, I, Hertos, will eventually return from the Abyss, sweeping away every enemy that opposes , slaughtering all I hate!"
Hertos's tone was low, and his words left Li Qing with a bloody impression.
"That's really... quite a fierce aning."
"And you, why are you here at the Gray?"
So far, Li Qing still didn't know what the Gray Magic Academy really represented, only understanding that Gray was surely synonymous with evil.
He looked up at the gray weather and the surrounding mournful atmosphere that made one feel as if they were in the Underworld, with mist everywhere, obscure buildings looming in the distance.
He could guarantee that without the school emblem, he'd definitely get lost in this ghostly place.
"Of course, to learn magic."
"Ha?!"
Hertos appeared to have heard sothing utterly unbelievable, and after a while, murmured: "A human cos to Gray to learn magic, what a gigantic joke, don't you know Gray is only a place where devils co."
Li Qing's heart slightly trembled, but he calmly said, "Here, I can learn so different magic."
"Hmm, you're right, after all, Gray is best at dealing with devils."
He began to laugh sharply: "So far, I've eaten quite a few devils."
Li Qing was silent, shock, horror, a series of expressions ca and went before he expressed doubt.
Devils can be eaten?
Once they reached the library, Hertos waved a hand: "Nice eting you, Blind Monk. Next, I'm going into the library, so, good luck to you."
Without waiting for Li Qing to reply, Hertos pushed open the old door carved with nurous engravings and walked into the shadows without hesitation.
That's really strange, both entering the library, and still wished good luck?
Li Qing looked at the front, the library built like a castle with heavy gray stone blocks, covering a vast area, with the stacked gray stone bricks giving the whole building a gloomy and oppressive feel.
This is no library, but the entrance to the Nazarick Underground Tomb!
Unable to help but complain in his mind, Li Qing stepped up the stairs and walked to the library door full of peculiar engravings.
Upon gently touching it, his school emblem suddenly lit up, and intense magic waves continually spread out, then connected to the door's engraving.
Buzz!
A barely audible sound ca from the door, after which all magic waves dissipated, and the door silently opened.
Unable to see inside, it seed as though everything was swallowed by shadows, indistinct and vague.
Enigmatic, dark, filled with a repulsive atmosphere.
Despite his reluctance, Li Qing still walked in step by step, firmly.
Bang!
The silent sound of the library door closing resounded, prompting Li Qing to glance back. He stood for a long ti, waiting for his vision to gradually adapt to the environnt, looking at the rows of bookshelves filled with countless books; the end of his sight still did not reveal any limit, as an unknown dim light source illuminated the rows of bookshelves for easier recognition.
Where is Hertos?
Li Qing silently scanned around, not overly concerned, for in Gray, everyone has their own secrets; he needed only to mind his own business. Just as he was about to walk toward a bookshelf, a familiar voice ca from beside him.
"This human classmate, a friendly reminder, browsing advanced magic books without sufficient power might get you eaten~"
The tone, this teasing voice, could only be Zhuang Xu.
He turned wide-eyed toward the shadowy corner, finally seeing an outline of a desk, where the black-robed Zhuang Xu almost rged with darkness.
Li Qing cautiously said: "Ah, it's ntor Zhuang Xu, hello!"
Looking sowhat like a slender ghost, Zhuang Xu bizarrely laughed, leaning forward a bit, finally allowing Li Qing to clearly see him.
Zhuang Xu's hands were crossed over the desk, and his crimson eyes with a hint of amusent looked up and down at Li Qing.
After a long ti, he said with a surprised gaze: "It seems you've gathered magic power?"
He abruptly stood up, his tall and lean fra nearly 2.5 ters high brought a sense of pressure that made the air feel slightly heavy, as if even breathing beca difficult.
Li Qing stood still, hands tightly clasped under his robe, motionlessly watching the nearby Zhuang Xu who seed to be constantly sniffing.
After a while, Zhuang Xu sat back down.
"Interesting... you've sparked a good deal of interest in , bringing a new variety to my otherwise monotonous days."
