Chapter 112: Primary Medical Class
The Primary Medical course, originally scheduled to start at 8:30 tonight, had its time adjusted again to 6:00 PM, which was half an hour later.
When Vivian heard that Jia Na was actually going to attend the Principal's elective course next, her expression couldn't help but become a little strange.
"You didn't choose another new course, did you?"
"You guessed correctly."
......
Under Vivian's impressed gaze, Jia Na hurried out of the classroom. As the elevator quickly ascended and descended, Jia Na once again arrived at the magic plant cultivation room that the Bai Wu Xie Club had used as a meeting room yesterday.
"Nineteen people—"
Jia Na, who arrived at the classroom door near the half-hour mark, took a rough glance. Compared to popular courses like 【Metamorphosis】, the classroom for the 【Primary Medical】 course was much quieter. However, there were twice as many people compared to when she first studied the Principal's 【Contract Studies】 course.
"Goo ya—"
Gently pushing open the door, as Jia Na entered the classroom, the originally quiet classroom suddenly became restless. Even the apprentices who had been lowering their heads all looked up to see the "campus celebrity" Jia Na. As the focus of everyone's attention, Jia Na, who was already used to it, just habitually found a relatively front-row seat and quietly sat down.
"Judging from the magic power fluctuations emanating from these apprentices, most of them are Three-level Wizard Apprentices—"
Unlike 【Metamorphosis】, which heavily relies on Mysticism talent but is not limited by Wizard level, 【Primary Medical】 focuses more on the spellcaster's ability to manipulate and control magic power, as well as whether their proficient magic power attribute is suitable for casting healing Witchcraft.
Healing Witchcraft is divided into 【Inert Witchcraft】 and 【Active Witchcraft】. Among these, 【Inert Witchcraft】 requires high stability of magic particles and is mostly used for grafting and suturing-type surgeries. Therefore, necromantic magic power with negative extremely inert characteristics is most suitable for this type of Witchcraft, followed by Plant-based magic power with healing characteristics, and water-based magic power with relatively mild particle attributes.
【Active Witchcraft】 is mainly Witchcraft targeting symptoms such as severe external injuries (severed limbs), internal injuries (organ damage), and toxin removal. It requires magic particles to have active characteristics like Life activation, with Plant-based and light-based magic power being the best, followed by water-based.
In addition to these two basic treatment directions, subsequent 【Advanced Medical】 courses will also cover high-level topics such as nerve damage (soul damage) treatment and pollution treatment (treating mutated patients).
Among these, "pollution treatment" is a new branch added to the medical field in recent years. Although it has achieved breakthrough results, research progress remains slow.
While waiting for the class to start, more people arrived one after another. Jia Na counted, and the final class size for the 【Primary Medical】 course was fixed at twenty-four people. Among them were twenty Three-level Wizard Apprentices and four Two-level Apprentices, all of whom were apprentices Jia Na was not very familiar with.
"Deng deng deng deng—"
As the sound of late footsteps echoed at the door, a black-haired man nearly 1.9 meters tall, with a high nose bridge, a slightly receding hairline, dressed in a black wizard robe, and a face around thirty years old, quickly walked onto the podium.
"There are quite a few more people in class today than I imagined. Good afternoon, apprentices."
"Good afternoon, Professor Anthony—"
Anthony-Black Sparrow, Principal of White Coral Academy, a First-level Undead Wizard, is said to be over one hundred and fifty years old, but based solely on appearance, he looks only around thirty.
His proficient subjects are 【Contract Studies】, 【Medical】, 【Transformation Studies】, and he also has a deep understanding of 【Metamorphosis】.
He is a knowledgeable Wizard with a good temper but who is always late.
"Among the apprentices I've guided in the past few batches, there weren't many good prospects who were proficient in 【Medical】—I hope this batch won't disappoint me."
Hearing this, several Three-level Wizard Apprentices sitting in the back scratched their heads awkwardly. As old apprentices who had stayed back from "previous batches" and were retaking the 【Primary Medical】 class, they were the "poor prospects" the Principal was talking about.
"Fortunately, the Principal has face blindness."
Thinking of this characteristic of the Principal, the several repeat apprentices who were clearly implied exchanged glances and all breathed a sigh of relief. "Alright, it's still a pre-class test. If you can pass, it proves you have talent related to 【Medical】—if not, don't waste your time."
Saying this, Anthony-Black Sparrow spread open his palm, and as a short incantation was chanted from his mouth, a lifelike Raven, entirely constructed from magic power, appeared in the palm of Anthony-Black Sparrow's right hand.
"This Witchcraft is a technical improvement I made to 【Wizard's Hand】. It can also be considered new Witchcraft. I named this Witchcraft 【Shaping】—now you all give it a try."
There was no explanation of techniques, not even a second recitation of the incantation. Looking at the Principal's usual rough teaching style,
While sighing slightly inwardly, Jia Na also began to attempt casting the Witchcraft.
"Professor—excuse me, could you please repeat the incantation from just now?"
"No."
Almost without even lifting his eyelids, Anthony-Black Sparrow directly refused the request of a female apprentice sitting diagonally in front of Jia Na. The other apprentices, who had long been accustomed to Anthony-Black Sparrow's teaching style, just secretly clicked their tongues and didn't dare to provoke him.
"Shaping Manifestation—"
As a crisp and clear incantation sounded, magic power condensed, and a bird-like creature with an emerald head resembling a parrot appeared in Jia Na's palm. However, it didn't last long before the bird-like creature quickly dispersed, transforming back into magic particles and dissipating into the air.
"Hmm, the control is not bad, but the stability is a bit lacking. What's your name?"
"My name is Jia Na-Roland, Professor."
"Keep practicing. You need to maintain the condensation for at least thirty minutes to be considered qualified—what are you looking at? Hurry up and continue practicing."
Jia Na's successful attempt on the first try not only attracted the Principal's attention but also caused the surrounding apprentices to look at Jia Na. Among them, the female apprentice who hadn't heard the incantation clearly and had been refused an answer by the Principal also turned back and gave Jia Na a grateful look.
"Thirty minutes—"
After returning a kind smile to the female apprentice in the front row, Jia Na began to consider the feasibility of continuously Shaping for thirty minutes.
"Based on my current magic power, casting continuously for twenty minutes isn't a problem, but the difficulty lies in proficiency....."
After thinking of the root cause, Jia Na didn't delay and directly opened her character panel.
"system, upgrade 【Shaping】 to the current level cap."
Swish—As Jia Na's command was issued, a large area of golden light flashed on the 【Shaping】 skill entry.
"This way, it should be fine—"
