Chapter 2372: Dean Lisi, Professional Inspection
Not knowing how much time had passed, Xia Duo felt as if he had had a dream, a super long, super dull dream.
There were no events in the dream, only giant characters or images swirling continuously until they were all implanted into his memory.
Once the inheritance was complete, Xia Duo couldn't help but feel some regret, because what Gelinqi had applied for him was the full set of university Universal Knowledge courses, which included a large number of courses in literature, history, philosophy, arts, physical education, and music; these were actually not very necessary for him.
The only thing he truly wanted to learn and needed to learn was Magic, and the university Magic Universal Knowledge courses here were actually the same in every university textbook.
Among the four major domains of Principles, Law and Theorem, Equation, and Application, the content of Law and Theorem and Equation occupied an absolute dominant position, with Equation even continuing the parts regarding equations from the High School textbooks, and going even deeper.
After receiving this set of Universal Knowledge courses, Xia Duo felt that his entire mental state was different; it was as if the door to a new world had been opened, and from then on, Magic became more systematic and more objective.
"Maruente, how do you feel?"
"It feels great! University Magic has truly opened my eyes!"
"I'm not asking about that; I'm asking if you have more confidence in tonight's interview?"
"More, don't worry. Even if I really encounter a question I can't answer, I will try my best to answer with quality and style; I won't let you lose face in front of your mentor."
After saying this, Xia Duo looked Gelinqi up and down again and continued, "What about you, are you ready? If your mentor asks you some questions and you can't answer them, then—"
"That won't happen. I feel like I am currently in my peak state. Even if I were to take the Negative Energy Research Institute exam again, I could hand in an extraordinary paper!"
At this moment, the confidence on Gelinqi's face was fully revealed, and he also mentioned one point, "The review just now gave me a lot of gains; even for my current research, it can provide no small amount of inspiration. If I had known there were such benefits, I would have used the Inheritance Instrument like this long ago."
"Review? You reviewed your past experiences?"
"Yes, the Inheritance Instrument has many different ways of being used. Besides directly instilling pure Knowledge, it can also stimulate memory to review the past, or even substitute into another person's perspective for a collision of inspiration."
The Inheritance Instrument of the Red Heart Alliance is generally only available in universities. Gelinqi thought Xia Duo didn't understand, so he said a few more words. By the end, he couldn't help but feel annoyed:
"I knew the school didn't build the Inheritance Chamber just to save students the time of reading books. Whether it's reviewing the past or the collision of inspiration, it must have a very important role to be set up this way. I really neglected it a bit in the past."
Xia Duo deeply agreed with this. When he was in school in his hometown, there were also many facilities and equipment in the school. Ordinary students didn't pay attention to them, while top students used them non-stop; the most typical examples were the Library and the various facilities equipped within it.
As for the Inheritance Chamber of Chixin University, it had similar Principles to the Inheritance Ritual he brought back to the Main Plane from the 【Projection Plane · Evereska Independent】, but the details were far superior to what he possessed.
Just as Gelinqi said just now, the Inheritance Instrument (device) here had multiple usage modes and was used in multiple different scenarios, while the Inheritance Ritual Xia Duo possessed was relatively crude, one could even say primitive.
It could only passively transmit information from the Wisdom Gem, and the inheritor was easily influenced by the information provider. That is to say, Xia Duo could interpret the Subconscious, and could purify it once in advance when inputting relevant information; otherwise, it would be a potential hidden danger.
Of course, this so-called hidden danger was more for those with outstanding talent. For those with average or even very poor talent, there was no such thing as a hidden danger; without the Inheritance Ritual, they might never touch the edge of an Arcanist in their entire lives.
……
After leaving the Inheritance Chamber, Gelinqi made an excuse to go read books, giving Xia Duo space to absorb and transform the inheritance alone. However, Xia Duo, alone in the reading room, did not desperately ponder the university Magic content as Gelinqi had imagined.
Instead, he combined the High School courses he had spent a lot of time on before with the university content he had initially understood but remembered deeply, to reorganize his existing Magic System.
Or to put it more colloquially, Xia Duo was going to "re-study."
Compared to the embryonic form of the Magic System that the Netherese Mage had groped for hundreds of years to create, he was more enamored with the mature system here, which had developed for 1,500 years on top of an existing embryonic system.
And all of this development was of one continuous lineage and did not exceed the scope of the Arcane Magic System; it could even be narrowed down further. After the Netheril Magic System developed for several years, it was highly likely that a mature system like the current Red Heart Alliance would appear.
This way, Xia Duo had absolutely no psychological barriers to "re-studying." In fact, even if the Red Heart system were not an Arcane Magic System, but another completely unfamiliar system, after proving its advancement, Xia Duo would be very happy to accept it.
The advanced replacing the backward is inherently a historical necessity. For an individual, the advanced will also exert a powerful attraction on the backward.
The process of reorganizing Magic was like returning to the past to learn Magic again, but with the Guidance of a more advanced system, Xia Duo did not feel lost at all, and every step he took was incredibly solid.
……
It wasn't until Gelinqi came to find him saying it was time to leave that Xia Duo was still immersed in the magnificent order of the Red Heart Magic system.
"Is it night already?"
"Not yet, but the mentor only has some free time before the meal. We must hurry; it's best to go a while early. We can't let the mentor wait for us!"
"That's true."
Although he was a bit annoyed at being interrupted in his thinking, Xia Duo still knew what was important. Reorganizing the Magic System could be done after entering the university; there would be plenty of time then. The most important thing now was to handle Gelinqi's university mentor.
……
On the way, Gelinqi finally introduced the detailed information about his university mentor to Xia Duo. Previously, Xia Duo had only heard him mention that mentor's name and his important decision-making power in the Admissions Committee; he knew nothing else.
"Mentor Lisi is currently the Dean of the Mythallar Academy at Chixin University. He has countless large projects under his command and cooperates with major research institutions both inside and outside the school. If you are interested in Mythallar, choosing a major in the Mythallar Academy is definitely the right choice. If you are lucky enough to be assigned under the mentor, that's an immediate takeoff. Maybe in the future, we can continue to be colleagues!"
Dean? Countless large projects under his command?
Xia Duo perked up as soon as he heard this. Previously, he really didn't know that Gelinqi's mentor was the Dean of the Mythallar Academy, and he did indeed have the intention to choose the Mythallar Academy; he wanted to choose the Myth Lock Design major.
He was keeping the thought that even if he couldn't retrieve the original Advanced Permission Level of the Alliance Mythallar, it wouldn't be a loss to learn something here.
Now that he learned Gelinqi's university mentor was actually the Dean of the Mythallar Academy, it was simply a pie falling from the sky. Although whether he could eat it depended on his own ability, at least he had seen it, and that made him very happy.
"By the way, you studied Mythallar? Why did you go to the Negative Energy Research Institute?"
