Chapter 144 More Pills
Leo smiled and shook his head. "Not really," he said. "So, what did you go there to find out?"
"Pills," Roland said with a gleaming expression. "I have a dream to become one of the best pill mages in the world. I want to make the best pills that everyone wants to buy."
Leo nodded. "That sounds good. So, it was fun meeting you. I have to go back to training now," he said.
He went back to his room and laid on his bed. He was about to start training before he realized that he needed to check his schedule. It had been so many days since he went to the class, so there was probably another one of them.
He took his schedule out from this dimensional ring and checked it. He had another class the next day. He sighed with relief since he didn\'t miss any classes yet.
His schedule in the school was very relaxed. He only had classes on the first and fifth days of the week. But he had spent so much time in the library that it was already Thursday night. He would need to attend the class the next day but also make sure he didn\'t miss the class after that.
If he skipped the classes on the very first week, it would set a very bad precedent for him. He was already paying a lot of money and the information seemed very useful.
After reading all those books, Leo felt that his understanding of magic increased greatly. He felt that if he trained, he would have better results because of it. He quickly started meditating and absorbing magic without any aid.
He was right. The absorption of magic increased by almost half. His training speed increased a lot. He quickly took out a leaf and started training.
The entire night passed in a flash by the time he opened his eyes. He made a considerable amount of progress during this time. He felt that the Late Stage of the 3rd Star was within sight.
He got up and got ready to go to class. He quickly threw on a pair of good clothes and left his dorm. He left the dorm with only 30 minutes left to get to class. He walked to the building without any worry though.
By the time he got to the building, there were only ten minutes before class was going to start. He walked inside and scanned the building for empty seats. He quickly found the group he was sitting with on the first day.
There was an empty seat beside Marcus. He made his way there.
"Is the seat free?" He asked Marcus.
Marcus looked at Leo and looked relieved. "Oh, thank god you\'re here. I was worried when I didn\'t see you for a long time. Yeah, the seats open." He said.
"Was I gone for that long? I was only busy for- oh. Yes, I was gone for a while," Leo said. He realized that he never told them that he was going to the library.
"What happened? Did you have some trouble with a Magical Beast?" Lyra asked.
"If there is, you can join us while hunting. We\'ve been going together for the past few days for the missions," Marcus said.
Marcus shook his head. "No, there wasn\'t any difficulty there. I just spent my time in the library," Leo said. "But I am going to ask, what do you mean hunt together?" He asked Marcus.
Madison interjected at this point.
"They helped me hunt my first monster and then went to go to the deeper parts of the forest to hunt stronger Magical Beasts for their missions. After the first day, they\'ve been doing it regularly. They did it for the past three days too," she said.
"That sounds good. I still prefer hunting alone, but I appreciate the offer," he said to Marcus. Marcus looked dejected while Lyra showed a slightly relieved expression. Leo guessed that it was because she didn\'t want more people sharing the few Beast Cores.
"Well, what did you do at the library? There\'s no way you spent all three days there," Marcus said with a low tone.
"Actually, I did. I spent all three days in the library. I only got out yesterday evening," Leo replied.
Lyra was shocked. She immediately asked him a question. "But that means you spent 72 hours worth of points. Do you have any points left?"
He sheepishly smiled. "Nope. I used around 45000 points on the library. It was worth it though. I would recommend it to you."
Before anyone could say anything, the class started. It was Maria taking their class.
"So, last time we talked about pills. Today we are still going to talk about pills, but the different pills that you can encounter. Today is less about theory and more about learning what could help you in the future," she started.
Leo immediately started paying attention. He was right about attending class. It was incredibly useful.
"The first thing you want to know about is the Aura Gathering Pill and the Aura Essence Pill. I already went over them in the last class. The next pill is very useful to a lot of you who are trying to break through to the 2nd Circle," she said.
Leo\'s expression dulled a little when he heard that. The first pill would be useless to him since he was already a 2nd Circle Aura Knight.
"The pill I am talking about is the Aura Luminary Pill. It can aid an Aura Knight to break through to the next level. It gives you a 20% boost to their success rate. The way it does this is by giving you a good amount of aura that is very pure that you can easily use to form your circle. However, the problem with it is that it is incredibly expensive. It can cost 6 million Starcoins," she said.
Leo cringed inwards. He was a user of the pill to break through. Her next words comforted him.
"There is a lesser number of impurities that accumulate when you use a pill to break through, but you would need to spend a little longer to allow the circle to properly solidify. Wait for 2 months before trying to break through to the next minor level. This is typically not a problem since training in the 2nd Circle is harder than at the 1st level." She said.
This was useful information to everyone, but Leo knew his body was a special case. So he ignored this information.
"As for the next pill, it is something that can help you increase your proficiency in your Aura Technique. It is called the Aura Fighting Pill, and it gives you a boost in the elemental nature of your aura. It will allow you to experience your Aura Technique with a more elemental aura which will help you immensely while training." She said.
This was when Leo started paying attention. These pills seemed to be useful to him.
