With the help of the 【Exceptional Memory】 talent, for courses like "Ancient Magic History", "Basic Herbalism", and "Basic Biology", Jia Na can now recite the textbooks backward.
However, being able to recite and being able to use are two different things. Although memorizing helps Jia Na understand later, for the academic terms or experimental scenarios within, if no one explains them, the parts she doesn't understand will still remain unclear.
"Rustle--"
Flipping through the "Elvish" textbook, looking at the various grammar and noun explanations marked on it, Jia Na's attention quickly became focused. While memorizing the key grammar points, she also read aloud the practice articles in the textbook word by word, sentence by sentence, following the general phonetic symbols, over and over again.
"Compared to 'Elvish', the foreign language courses I studied in my previous life were simply too easy..."
In addition, subsequent languages like "Abyssal Language" and "Dragon Language" are categories that every apprentice is required to master during their time as an apprentice.
After all, the characters for many Witchcraft spells are taken from these languages. Without the accumulation of elements from these languages, Jia Na would not be able to research many ancient Witchcrafts and ancient experiments...
"Tick--tock--"
The night deepened, and in the quiet dormitory, besides the sound of the mechanical clock's hour hand turning, there was only the sound of Jia Na turning pages.
"It's time for meditation."
Stretching lazily, looking at the time on the clock on the wall, Jia Na closed her book, rinsed her mouth, then sat cross-legged on the bed, preparing to enter a meditative state.
"According to today's rehearsal progress, tomorrow should be the dance blocking part..."
Exhale--
Gently exhaling, gradually clearing her mind of distractions, Jia Na, who was constantly busy turning like a gear every day, could only relax for a while during deep meditation.
...
The rehearsal rhythm on Sunday was fast. To be able to perform on stage on time next month, everyone was compressing their free time as much as possible and constantly pushing forward.
Among them, the two directors, David-Berg and Crane-Roland, were the busiest. Until Jia Na finished work, she didn't see either of them sit down for even a minute.
"Indeed, passion is the greatest motivation."
For someone like Jia Na, whose focus is entirely on learning Wizard courses, her enthusiasm for opera performance comes entirely from the high salary associated with this job.
If it weren't for the money, she would actually prefer to spend time in the library, exploring knowledge she hasn't yet delved into.
"I hope to achieve financial freedom soon..."
As evening approached, after Jia Na returned to the academy from work, she took advantage of the library not yet being closed. Jia Na shook her wallet, took out the last jin sule she earned by answering questions for others last time, and walked into the library.
"If I still can't find information related to the 【Growth Law】 this time, then I won't come to the library this month... I'll come back after I get paid next month."
There were still four hours until the library closed. After quickly walking into the library, Jia Na skipped the Law-related books she had already finished on the first-floor shelves and directly locked her gaze onto a thick book on the second-floor shelves with a black cover titled "mysteries of laws".
"The thickness of this book is similar to that of 'insight into laws' which I read the day before yesterday... It seems necessary to learn Reading Magic..."
【Reading Magic】 belongs to mental Witchcraft. Its main function is to transform the text in books into mental characters, allowing the Wizard to quickly preview. However, it cannot improve memory, only increase current reading efficiency.
Even such a seemingly ordinary Witchcraft requires an astonishingly high amount of academic credits to exchange for, which is quite discouraging for apprentices like Jia Na who count their money on their fingers.
"Let's wait until next month."
Taking down the heavy "mysteries of laws" from the bookshelf, Jia Na walked over to the librarian with the book in her arms.
"Senior sister, I want to rent this book."
Bang--
The muffled sound of the book being placed on the desk brought a gust of wind that directly lifted the fringe of the female librarian who was lowering her head and slacking off.
"Ah, it's you, junior sister. Are you here to rent a book again? This book is quite thick..."
Raising her head and seeing Jia Na's pleasant and familiar face, the annoyance she felt from being interrupted while slacking off was instantly thrown to the back of her mind.
"mysteries of laws"? Are you still renting Law-related books this time? For a first-year apprentice like you, it's no different from throwing money away."
If it were someone else, this female librarian wouldn't bother to talk, but facing Jia Na, she inexplicably felt a sense of goodwill and couldn't help but start advising her.
"Thank you for your advice, senior sister. This should be the last time I rent a Law-related book this month."
"Alas, I don't know what to say about you."
Seeing Jia Na's polite but firm smile, the female librarian could only continue with the registration.
"The deposit is twenty jin sule. You cannot take it outside, and remember not to exceed the due date."
"Okay, thank you for your trouble."
"You're welcome."
Apart from task acceptance and Witchcraft exchange on the first floor of the Magic Tower being handled by Black Cat Belle, academy services like the library, magic plant cultivation room, and potion exchange are all handled by some senior apprentices working part-time.
And the librarian in front of her is actually a plain apprentice with no background, whose frontal combat ability is not enough to handle high-risk team missions, and who also has no special skills. They have to work for the academy to accumulate academic credits for courses.
If Jia Na didn't have the salary from the Nightingale Opera House and was unwilling to sign a loyalty agreement with a Wizard family, besides taking long-term external missions, she would most likely have to do this kind of part-time job...
...
At this time, although it was not early, there were still quite a few apprentices reading and studying in the library.
"Bang--"
Finding a relatively corner seat, Jia Na placed "mysteries of laws" on the table, then gently pulled out a chair and sat down quietly.
"I hope to gain something today."
Opening the book, to facilitate finding key points, Jia Na first focused her attention on the table of contents.
"Explanation of Law terms... Macro concept of Law... Micro concept of Law..."
Quickly skipping these titles that Jia Na had already learned from the previous book "insight into laws", Jia Na soon found a new title she had never encountered in the latter half of the table of contents.
"Sub-Law principles..."
Looking at this title, Jia Na decisively turned the book to page one thousand and seventy-two.
"【Sub-Laws】 are subsets differentiated from 【Main Laws】 under objective laws. Every 【Main Law】 is composed of 【Sub-Laws】 that have differing properties but similar underlying Law Context. Taking the 【Law of Nature and Life】 as an example..."
