Bexia's reading speed was very fast. When he was with Sister Lakiss, he already had a super memory and could remember almost everything in one go. Now, after his mental power became stronger, this ability became even faster. Not only could he remember things at a glance, but it was as if they were engraved in his mind with a sharp knife.
Although these magic books were considered basic, for an ordinary beginner, it would be considered very good if they could understand them within a few days. Most people wouldn't be able to learn them in a couple of months.
But for Bexia, these things felt like learning elementary school lessons after completing university courses. It was as if he had already finished reading them after flipping through them, and he remembered everything, even gaining new insights.
"Fireball!"
With a thought, Bexia constructed the magic circle of this low-level magic in his mind, and a fist-sized fireball appeared in his hand. Then, with another thought, the fireball immediately disappeared, turning back into mana and dissipated.
"Ice spike!"
"The breath of wind!"
"Lance of light..."
"Dark entanglement..."
Bexia almost tried every low-level magic recorded in the books. Except for some highly offensive ones that couldn't be used in this small space, he released more than twenty spells in one breath, and he learned almost everything just by looking at them once.
When he finished practicing, it was already time for dinner in the afternoon. After Bexia finished reading the books on the table and snapped out of his trance, he realized it was already late at night. He glanced at the dark night outside and decided not to go back. However, he was feeling a bit hungry now. After all, he hadn't eaten anything for most of the day.
Bexia wasn't someone who liked to go hungry. He scanned the room and thought maybe he could find something to eat here, or maybe he could try cooking something himself?
Because he seemed to see quite a lot of ingredients!
Bexia also learned cooking from Sister Lakiss. Although he could only cook some simple dishes, he could still feed himself.
Speaking of Sister Lakiss, he had been away for so long, should he go back and visit her?
Arriving at Bor's research desk, he saw many potions, and the main one was a large piece of meat frozen in ice. This was the food that Bexia saw, and there was a book next to it. He took a look and found that it was Bor's book on potion making, and the page he opened happened to be the method of making the potion "Mana Condensation Elixir" that he had drunk before.
"So, this is potion making? It seems quite simple!" Bexia glanced at the content on it. It was basically processing the potions and then mixing and adjusting them to form special ability potions.
"Maybe I can give it a try!" Bexia suddenly became attracted to the so-called potion making. He flipped through Bor's book on potion making. The materials for "Mana Condensation Elixir" were also on the table. With a thought, he started following the instructions and began the operation. After about ten minutes, a potion identical to the one he had drunk before appeared in his hand.
"It's not difficult! Why do they always say potion making is difficult?" Bexia muttered to himself. At this moment, his stomach started protesting strongly, growling non-stop. He looked at the container with the frozen meat and thought it should be fine to have a little to eat...
It was now less than five o'clock in the morning. In order to teach Bexia properly, Bor shortened what would originally take a week to three days. Even with his mental power as an Archmage, he felt a bit tired. Rubbing his throbbing forehead, he walked up the stairs to the research room and remembered that he had left a piece of meat from a super beast on the table. The effect of the freezing magic could only last for three or four days, and leaving it for too long might cause problems. So as soon as he returned to the academy, he hurried to the research room.
Bor used magic to unlock the locked door, but the smell in the air made his face pale. He pushed open the door and looked at the scene in front of him with a bewildered expression. His worried disciple, with messy hair and dark circles under his eyes as if he had just been beaten dozens of times, was sitting inside, holding a bowl of meat soup and enjoying it, the aroma of the soup filling the air.
"Hmm!? Teacher..." Bexia looked up at Bor, whose face was filled with confusion.
"Why did you end up like this? And why does that pot in your hand look familiar to me?" After calming himself down, Bor asked.
"I don't know why, but I just couldn't sleep. It's been like this for several days..." Bexia looked at the pot in his hand and replied, "Isn't this the one on your desk?"
No wonder something felt off. It turned out to be the magical device he had spent tens of thousands of gold coins to create, the magic mixer, being used as a cooking pot!
"Where did you get the meat?" Bor took a deep breath and continued questioning.
"It was right there on the table. I don't know why, but it tasted especially delicious?!" Bexia felt light-headed, as he hadn't rested for three days. He didn't know why, but he felt very energetic.
"Do you know what you did? You used my expensive magic mixer as an iron pot and cooked soup... And that meat is from the extremely rare super magical beast, the Dream Beast. Just a small piece would cost at least five thousand gold coins. Eating even a small piece can keep a person energized for the whole day. Of course you couldn't sleep after eating so much!" Bor clenched his fist, suppressing the anger that came from both the pain in his heart and the situation. As an elemental master and a champion, he had seen all kinds of situations. After taking several deep breaths, he managed to control himself.
"Actually, I also added some magic medicine from your drawer. The effect seems pretty good!"
"In the drawer?" Suddenly, Bor realized something and ran to the nearby table, opening the drawer, only to find it empty. He grabbed his head in panic.
"You fool! Do you know what you did?! Those were all the ingredients for making magic medicinal herbs! Do you know how much time I spent collecting those magic herbs?" Flames of anger started to swirl around Bor, turning his white hair into a fiery red. His expression became extremely fierce against the backdrop of the flames.
"I was just trying to make magic medicinal herbs. There's still half a bowl here. Teacher, would you like to try it?" Bexia handed the remaining half bowl of meat soup to Bor, swaying as he walked, as if he was about to collapse.
And indeed, as soon as he stood up, he swayed twice, then suddenly fell on the table and never got up again. The meat soup next to him spilled as well.
"Ah..." Bor shook his head helplessly. There was no point in blaming Bexia anymore. He could only blame himself for not keeping a closer eye on his apprentice. Now, he was more worried about what would happen to Bexia after eating such a large piece of Dream Beast meat.
When he walked over to Bexia to check on him, he noticed the meat soup spilled on the table. Almost involuntarily, he dipped his finger in the milky liquid and put it in his mouth, perhaps wanting to find out what Bexia had discovered when he fell.
"This...!!!" Bor's pupils suddenly widened.
