Senior Sister Fei'er

After a lavish dinner, not only was Saine's belly round and full, but even his Mental Strength and magic power had increased slightly.

A faint tingling numbness spread through Saine's arms and the wounds all over his body.

Saine had never expected that a dinner made from Demonized Creature and magical beast ingredients would have such effects.

"It looks like Mentor really values you. It's been a long time since I had such a lavish dinner too."

"Sometimes, when experiments get intense, I just drink a Nutrient Potion and call it a day," Senior Sister Fei'er told Saine.

When the dinner was only halfway through, Mentor Moxidu and Senior Brother Zorro, who had barely touched the dishes, hurried back to the first-floor laboratory. It seemed that their earlier discussion had sparked new inspiration.

Thus, Saine mainly ate this teacher's banquet with Senior Sister Fei'er.

And it was also through his conversations with Senior Sister Fei'er that Saine felt a faint warmth unlike the cold atmosphere of the Black Wizard Academy.

"Mentor's kindness toward me is as heavy as a mountain. Senior Sister, you are also so beautiful and considerate," Saine replied respectfully.

He was not simply flattering his mentor and senior sister. From this brief contact, he had genuinely sensed an atmosphere unlike that of other Black Magicians or apprentices.

Was this the warmth of belonging to the same school?

Compared with those evil Black Magicians who readily turned their own apprentices into Experiment Specimens, the atmosphere under Master Moxidu was clearly excellent. This was perhaps where Saine's luck and cleverness lay.

After all, three Formal Magicians had expressed favorable opinions of Saine in the Public Classroom. Saine had not chosen Master Anjiniya, who appeared to be the strongest, nor had he chosen Master Ke Suo Long, who had many disciples under him.

Instead, he had gone to great lengths to please and attach himself to Mentor Moxidu, who had always kept a low profile and rarely revealed his abilities.

According to Senior Sister Fei'er's explanation, Saine learned that this lavish magical beast dinner not only rapidly restored their physical strength and Mental Strength, but more importantly, helped Saine recover from his injuries as soon as possible.

Moreover, as a low-level apprentice eating such a lavish feast for the first time, Saine benefited far more than his two senior siblings.

Even if his total Mental Strength and magic power had risen by several decimal points because of it, that was only natural.

Saine's compliment brought a faint smile to Senior Sister Fei'er's lips.

What woman

did not like being praised for her beauty by the opposite sex? Especially in a place like the Black Wizard Academy, where Magic Apprentices generally stood in competition or even hostility with one another, Fei'er had not heard such praise in a long time.

What Saine did not know was that within the Black Wizard Academy, Fei'er, an Advanced Apprentice, bore the title of "Black Widow."

Though they were both female Advanced Apprentices, the Lilianya Saine had encountered before might have been more famous, but she was not necessarily stronger than this senior sister of his.

"I see that you are already very close to becoming an Intermediate Apprentice. However, your injuries will probably delay your advancement by two months. Still, that is not necessarily a bad thing."

"Have you switched to the Meditation Method Mentor gave you?" Fei'er asked.

"Not yet. Today, I mainly looked through and studied the two Magic Notebooks Mentor gave me," Saine answered honestly.

A trace of approval appeared on Fei'er's face. Then she said, "A smart choice. Rashly changing Meditation Methods will require your body to spend quite some time adapting. I suggest you wait until after you advance to an Intermediate Apprentice before changing."

"And in another two months, it will be time for the Grade Assessment."

"With your strength, if you advance to an Intermediate Apprentice now, you will definitely rank at the bottom. It would be better to remain a low-level apprentice and strive for a higher ranking."

"The Academy Rewards every year are quite good. You can try competing for them," Fei'er suggested.

Senior Sister Fei'er's suggestion made Saine nod in agreement.

He could tell that before his body fully recovered to the point where he could help Mentor complete experiments, Senior Sister Fei'er would be his main guide within Mentor Moxidu's school.

Faced with Saine's proper and steady manner, Fei'er could not help breaking into a smile.

After leaving his mentor's place, Saine headed toward his little nest.

Since it was already very late, hardly anyone was moving about in the entire Black Wizard Academy.

In the past, Saine would rarely have chosen to walk outside at this hour.

But now, he had nothing to fear.

Sure enough, as Saine made his way toward his dormitory building, some Magic Apprentices pointed at him and whispered among themselves.

His deeds—killing Yierke alone, causing a huge commotion with Lina on Black Street, and killing Scarface Qiao Ke and others—were enough to earn Saine a name throughout the Black Wizard Academy.

Sometimes, fame could help one avoid much trouble in such a chaotic environment. At the very least, those lacking in strength would not rashly bully you.

When Saine returned to his familiar little nest, he found that Lina had not come back.

He let out a soft sigh. Lina had also gone to see her new mentor, Master Feilunna, today. And judging from the other woman's conduct in the dungeon, Master Feilunna was clearly not someone easy to get along with.

True enough, Black Magicians like Master Moxidu, cold on the outside but warm within, were probably rare throughout the Black Wizard Academy.

Saine had struck tremendous luck in meeting one. The selfish, self-serving nature of Lina's mentor, Master Feilunna, was the norm in the Black Wizard Academy.

The only comforting thing was that since Master Feilunna had been willing to spend a precious Energy Crystal to pull Lina out, she presumably truly valued her.

After the teacher's banquet ended, Saine began living a life that revolved solely between his dormitory building and Master Moxidu's laboratory.

Sure enough, even someone as well-off as Master Moxidu could not possibly supply magical beast ingredients to his disciples every day.

Apart from occasionally enjoying a hearty meal, Saine usually ate ordinary food. He had also tried the Nutrient Potion Senior Sister Fei'er mentioned twice.

Strictly speaking, Nutrient Potion could barely be considered part of the ranks of Alchemy Potion.

It was merely the lowest-grade kind. One did not even need to be a potion master; even an ordinary magic apprentice could mix it according to the proper material ratios.

The two Nutrient Potions Saine drank had been mixed by Senior Sister Fei'er herself.

Whether Fei'er lacked talent in this area or had deliberately been teasing Saine, he did not know.

In any case, the taste of those two potions left a deep impression on Saine. For a long time afterward, he remained rather resistant to Nutrient Potion.

In contrast, after Saine showed off his cooking skills at his mentor's place, Senior Sister Fei'er urged him to make dinner every day.

Compared with the bland food made by Alchemy Puppets, Saine's cooking clearly suited Fei'er's taste better.

It was also during this period that Saine discovered that aside from himself and Senior Sister Fei'er, who had normal dining needs, Senior Brother Zorro and Mentor Moxidu were frequently absent.

Had magic reached a certain realm where one no longer needed to eat? Saine could not help lowering his head in thought.
