Chapter 165: Composite Runes

Su Sang flipped through the materials for a long time, but didn't find anything.

Finally, he put down the materials in his hand, thought for a while, and called the staff member who arranged the courses up.

"Why has the attendance rate of all courses in the academy increased a lot recently, especially basic courses, even increasing by 40-50%?"

Chairman Su Sang asked directly: "Did you take any new measures?"

Under normal circumstances, the attendance rate of all courses within the academy fluctuates within a fixed range, and there are few situations where there is such a large change as now.

In his view, it is highly likely that the work of the staff below is in place.

Academic style construction has always been one of the key tasks of the committee, and now seeing such effective results, he, as the chairman, is still quite satisfied.

The staff member who was questioned scratched his head a bit awkwardly: "No... we didn't implement any new measures."

"Then what is it?" Su Sang raised his eyebrows and continued to ask.

"It's that the new students recruited this time are all too diligent..." The staff member said weakly.

"In the past, new students could get enough 10 credits by choosing one or two courses in the first year because of the credits settled by the magic user level brought by enrollment, and there was no pressure, and the average number of elective courses was only three."

"But this year..."

The staff member paused and sighed: "It's only the third month, and many new students have just completed their enrollment tasks, but the average number of courses chosen has already reached three, which is comparable to the whole year of new students in previous years."

"New students are so diligent, which indirectly drove the enthusiasm of some old students to choose courses..."

Su Sang suddenly realized; no wonder the courses with the highest increase in attendance rate among all courses are basic courses.

It turns out that the main force is freshmen.

Freshmen can only choose basic courses.

"The new students recruited this time have good character." Su Sang praised.

"Mainly because there is a catfish..." The staff member said.

"Catfish? Who is it?" As the chairman, one of the top magic users in the academy, Su Sang doesn't actually know much about the things below.

Things that can be reported to him are generally big things, and no one will pass gossip to him.

"It's Gao De..." The staff member detailed the dispute between Gao De and Yilan: "... His sixteen-course selection caused Yilan to choose seven courses in order to fight for first place in credits, and then Jielika was not to be outdone, also choosing seven courses... With these three in front, the remaining new students are not easy to be too different, and more or less added one or two courses..."

"A second-class magic user apprentice, fighting with Yilan for first place in credits?" Su Sang smiled, picked up the teacup on the table, and drank tea slowly. "And choosing sixteen courses at the same time?"

It wasn't a satisfied smile, but a smile of being angered.

For this Gao De, he still had some impression, a "country bumpkin" who was called lucky by others.

Su Sang actually had no opinion on Gao De's "country bumpkin" background.

Because he also entered Cyrus Academy as a commoner, and walked to today's position step by step by his own efforts.

He was not particularly disgusted with entering the academy through a recommendation letter.

After all, there are so many noble students in the academy who entered through family connections.

But now, Su Sang's evaluation of Gao De had dropped a lot.

He hated two kinds of students in his life; one is those who rely on family background or their own talent to enter the academy, but do not cherish the academy's resources, and spend their days idling away.

The other is those who put on airs, showing a diligent appearance to outsiders, but in fact, they are acting, and haven't learned anything at all.

Especially the latter, they don't understand at all that diligence is only for themselves, not for outsiders to see! And now, Su Sang classified Gao De into the second category of students.

After all, Gao De's behavior, looking at it from common sense, is how you look at it, it is a behavior of grandstanding. Now he is in the limelight, and when it comes to the end-of-course assessment, won't he show his true colors? The limelight he is in now will all have to be returned by then.

What is the point?

Let him be, anyway, he is delaying himself, and he indirectly brought up the academy's academic style, which is not meaningless. Su Sang's eyebrows jumped, and he waved his hand: "Okay, I know."

8th of the Ice-Sealed Month.

After two consecutive breakthroughs in the Guidance Method, the progress of Gao De's Meditation Method finally improved.

On this day, he successfully manifested the tenth lotus petal.

According to common sense, even if Gao De's talent for Meditation Method cultivation is far superior to his talent for Guidance Method cultivation, because Guidance Method cultivation can use many external objects to assist, the progress will be far ahead of the Meditation Method.

The reason why it can barely keep up now is that frequently entering the flow state by casting 【Guidance+】 will also stimulate the growth of mental power to a certain extent.

This is an unexpected harvest that Gao De didn't expect.

Although this degree of stimulation is not particularly obvious, it is better than nothing.

11th of the Ice-Sealed Month.

With the assistance of 【Guidance+】, Gao De finished learning all 651 zero-level basic runes.

"Mastering all zero-level basic runes, this is already the assessment content of the second stage of the Runology course." He Xi exhaled and told Gao De the truth.

"Your current level is comparable to an old student who has been learning runes for two years, and you have only been in contact with Runology for two and a half months."

The old student He Xi mentioned still refers to an old student who has been screened and has talent in Runology.

In fact, if it were an average person, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to learn Gao De's current level even in ten years.

Gao De didn't realize what an exaggerated thing this was; he knew he had some talent in Runology, but he attributed more of it to 【Guidance+】.

"Next, your learning content is the combination of composite runes."

"I will first teach you thirty-six classic composite runes, but this is just a template; the composition of composite runes is amorphous, and every rune master has their own summarized composite runes that they are good at."

"And composite runes are also the beginning of the gap between rune masters and rune masters."

"A good rune master can, according to needs, use the minimum number of basic runes and the most streamlined structure to combine the most clear and easy-to-understand composite runes."

"At the same time, the composite runes they combine will also have good maintainability, which can make it easy to maintain and convenient for other rune masters to maintain later;"

"High efficiency; streamlined structure and design can allow the composite runes combined by good rune masters to have lower energy consumption for operation, while those composite runes drawn by poor rune masters often have unnecessary basic runes, wasting magic power in vain."

"High scalability; good composite runes must have a flexible structure, which allows it to better connect with other composite runes, thereby forming a magic array, while the composite runes drawn by poor rune masters are often difficult to combine with other composite runes."

"High security..."

"High performance..."

After He Xi said a lot, he took out a stack of rune diagrams and handed them to Gao De.

"These thirty-six classic composite runes are good composite runes that perfectly meet these conditions."

"The first step of learning is imitation; you first master these thirty-six classic composite runes and try to deconstruct and understand their design principles."

"When you feel that you have mastered them, I will give you questions, and then you design composite runes yourself according to the needs I put forward."
