Buzz, buzz, buzz…
Just as Bai Qi adjusted himself and was about to start ditating, his phone in his pocket started to vibrate.
The caller was Luo Xiang, who had previously assessed Bai Qi in the Special Training Program.
“Hey Bai Qi, hurry over to the Star chanics Academy right now. I have sothing to discuss with you.’1
“I’m saying, Team Leader Luo, it’s five in the afternoon right now, and the school is currently on holiday, what are you doing over there?”
“Don’t ask so many questions. Just hurry over here, it’s good news.”
Beep, beep, beep…
Bai Qi put down the phone that was already hung up, and silently sighed while watching the gradually setting sun outside the window.
Were superiors always on the job?
Bai Qi was a mber of the Gusu City Beastmaster Association, but in the Special Training Program, he was under the command of Luo Xiang. Now that Luo Xiang summoned him, Bai Qi found it embarrassing to refuse.
Of course, there was also the matter of the good news that Luo Xiang ntioned.
The Star chanics Academy sat in the center of Gusu City. This ti coincided with the peak period of people getting off work. By the ti Bai Qi arrived at the Star chanics Academy, it was already dusk.
“Bai Qi, this way.”
Luo Xiang, who had been waiting for a while, imdiately signaled to Bai Qi once he spotted him. “Hurry up, Professor Dong has been waiting for a long ti.”
“Professor Dong? Who is that?” Bai Qi was confused.
Even though the Star chanics Academy was famous for its chanical Engineering Departnt, there were many other large and small departnts. Bai Qi had no idea who Professor Dong in Luo Xiang’s mouth was.
“You haven’t heard of Professor Dong from the Ancient Rune Departnt? What have you been doing all these years in school?”
Is it strange for a student of the chanical Engineering Departnt not to know a professor from the Ancient Rune Departnt?
Moreover, most of the students don’t even know all the professors in their own departnt.
Bai Qi rolled his eyes in exasperation. “Team Leader Luo, can you finally tell what it is now?”
“You rember what I ntioned to you last ti, right? The matter about studying rune knowledge.”
Bai Qi nodded, a bad premonition rising in his heart.
“Originally, I wanted to take you to headquarters for training, but Old Qin didn’t agree, and I couldn’t stay here for too long. So, I asked Professor Dong from the Rune Departnt of Star chanics Academy to teach you about runes.”
“Don’t worry. I’ve already taken care of the relationship for you, so it won’t affect your studies in the chanical specialisation. You just need to find so ti to go there occasionally.”
Thanks a lot!
Telling a chanical Engineering student to go study runes, isn’t this a bit too interdisciplinary?
Bai Qi looked at Luo Xiang with a bitter expression and suddenly regretted joining the Special Training Program.
If only he could get his money back if he quit the program now.
“I know what you’re thinking. Although your [Breaking the Void] talent can ignore the rune seal of the Secret Realm Tower, this talent can’t always be triggered, so in most cases, you have to rely on yourself to solve it.”
Bai Qi asked, “Team Leader Luo, you seem to be very familiar with this kind of talent?”
Luo Xiang nodded. “Yes. Because I have it too. How else do you think I could be an examiner?”
Alright, it was my fault to be fooled.
Bai Qi remained silent and followed Luo Xiang to the teaching building of the Rune Departnt.
Compared to the techno-style chanical Engineering Departnt, the building of the Rune Departnt seed to have a style of a Western wizard from a past life.
Strange runes, deep paths. It was enough to give anyone the creeps.
“Professor Dong is a prominent figure in the Federation’s Rune Departnt. She moved to Gusu City after retirent, so rember to be polite to her.” Luo Xiang solemnly warned Bai Qi as they arrived at the office door. After Bai Qi admitted to understanding, Luo Xiang knocked on the office door.
“Professor Dong, I’ve brought the kid.”
“Oh, it’s you, young Luo. Please co in.”
A gentle voice sounded from inside the room, and Luo Xiang cautiously opened the door and walked in with Bai Qi.
Bai Qi looked around. The style of this office was quite different from the wizard-like style he had imagined, it looked more like a library.
Almost everywhere he looked, there were stacks of various books.
The voice ca from behind a pile of books.
“I was worried you might not co. Let take a look. Who is this talented individual you personally recomnded?”
An old lady with a constant smile on her face erged from behind the book pile. Seeing Bai Qi, she asked in surprise, “How co I don’t recall having such a student in the Rune Departnt?”
This old lady couldn’t morize every student in the entire departnt, could she?
“Professor Dong can draw all of the one hundred and four thousand nine hundred and eighty-one runes discovered up to this point by hand, without any errors. Do you think she will find it hard to rember the students in one departnt?” Luo Xiang whispered to Bai Qi about Professor Dong’s glorious history, and explained to Professor Dong, “Bai Qi is indeed not a student of the Rune Departnt. He is specialized in chanical”
Upon hearing this, Professor Dong was surprised, “chanical? A student of Professor Chu?”
Bai Qi nodded. “Yes, I’ve taken almost all of Professor Chu’s classes.”
Looking at the situation, do these two have so kind of feud? He hoped this Professor Dong would kindly refuse to tutor him.
“That’s fine, if you can digest Professor Chu’s courses, you’ll definitely have no problem with learning runes.”
When Bai Qi heard this, his expression imdiately beca gloomy, feeling like he had shot himself in the foot.
Since when are chanical and Runes correlated? The two are huge leaps apart, aren’t they?
Bai Qi glanced at Luo Xiang, who was sitting upright next to him and beca increasingly convinced that this man must have known that it would end up like this, hence his assurance.
“Um, Professor Dong, won’t it be a bit too late for to switch fields now?”
Professor Dong smilingly said, “Don’t worry, learning runes is not as difficult as you think. In so ways, runes and the chanical Departnt even have so similarities.”
With that said, Professor Dong took out a thick book from a nearby shelf and said, “This book contains all the runes and their corresponding explanations discovered so far. Read it first and if you have any doubts, feel free to co and ask .”
“If you’re not too bothered by it, you can also try to imitate the runes according to the book. It’s very beneficial for your Spirit Power.”
Imitating runes can enhance Spirit Power? Are you guys sure you’re in the right place, Professor Dong?
This is the Beastmaster World, not Hogwarts.
Seeing Bai Qi’s doubtful expression, Professor Dong didn’t mind. Luo Xiang directly opened the Rune Dictionary and pointed to a rune on the first page and said, “Try it out, and you’ll know.”
Bai Qi looked where Luo Xiang was pointing and was imdiately convinced after seeing the rune, which was as warped as Cthulhu.
If he could imitate such a complex rune, it would be strange if his spirit power didn’t increase.
And there were one hundred and four thousand nine hundred and eighty-one more runes like this one!
Suddenly, he thinks that what Professor Dong said earlier might be reversed.
If one could learn runes, there is no way they couldn’t learn chanical!
