Learning Plan

Dinner was a lavish feast personally arranged by Serena.

Although Saine can cook, and cooks quite well, he's still not as good as Serena.

This girl spent a lot of time and energy studying recipes in her early years.

Saine originally wanted to help Serena, but Serena refused.

Serena herself said that Saine had to take care of his own first meal when he got back.

Urged on by Serena, Saine continued to tinker with his Spoils of War in the warehouse until about an hour later when Serena finally came outside and called for Saine.

Serena's shouts made Saine feel as if he had been transported back to more than a decade ago.

Back then, Serena would call out to Saine for dinner from outside the lab in the same way. These little moments are always memorable and unforgettable.

When Saine arrived at the 702nd floor of the Holy Tower, a table full of food dazzled Saine.

During the years that Saine was away from the Wizard World, Serena must have spent a lot of time and effort learning how to cook.

Because on the table in front of him, Saine saw many new dishes that looked and smelled delicious.

Keeping Serena's kindness in mind, Saine then took out a golden Space Ring from inside his Magic Robe.

This Space Ring was made by Saine himself, but its true value lies in the numerous items stored inside.

"This is a gift I brought back for you from the Poison Fire Green Flame World. You can take a look at it after dinner," Saine said gently.

The Space Ring not only contained various resource ores abundant in the Poison Fire Green Flame World, but also a large number of Alien Plane biological specimens.

Serena's magical path is very similar to that of Saine; both practice the Element Power and have embarked on the path of alchemy.

The gifts that Saine prepared were A Great Gift for Serena, who was only an apprentice.

Putting aside everything else, just the sheer variety of Alien Plane biological specimens was something that Saine had never encountered during his apprenticeship.

The various fire-based mineral resources can also greatly help Serena in the field of alchemy.

Serena accepted the gold ring from Saine with utmost respect and obedience, and her face flushed again as if she had just remembered something.

Serena is actually not young anymore; at 33 years old this year, she already has the appearance of a mature and sophisticated woman.

During the years that Saine was away from the Azure Source Holy Tower Academy, many male magic students within the academy expressed their admiration for Serena, but all of them were coldly rejected by Serena.

To outsiders, Serena is a taciturn and aloof female magic apprentice.

Because of the intimidating presence of Saine, and the help and care of several other Quasi-Magician Saine knew during his apprenticeship, Serena was basically untouchable within the academy.

In particular, Serena has lived in the Holy Tower for many years, and her True Details and origins are beyond the imagination of ordinary magic apprentices.

Only in front of Saine would Serena shed her aloof and mature demeanor and act like a nervous little girl yearning for praise.

During the meal, after praising Serena's cooking a few more times, Saine asked about her progress in her magical studies in recent years.

Serena was promoted to Quasi-Magician two years ago. At the age of thirty-one at the time, Serena's advancement speed was relatively fast in the entire Azure Source Holy Tower Academy.

It wasn't that Serena's talent was particularly amazing; a large part of the reason she was able to advance so quickly was due to the ample resources that Saine left her before he left, as well as the top-notch experimental environment at the top of the Holy Tower.

Furthermore, Saine often assisted Serena when he was conducting experiments.

That experimental experience from back then was also a valuable learning experience for Serena.

However, after advancing to the level of Quasi-Magician, Serena's growth rate slowed down significantly.

The slow growth in Magic Power and Mental Strength is only one aspect; more importantly, Serena seems to lack a clear direction.

"I also want to do what my cousin did back then, to choose a top-tier apprentice magic, or even a formal magic, with immense power, as a gateway to glimpse the Truth Mysteries."

"But in the last six months, I've gained very little insight into growth; it seems I've been less successful than studying ordinary magical mysteries," Serena said softly.

"What kind of magic did you choose?" Saine couldn't help but ask.

"It's ' High-Temperature Scorching Ray '," Serena replied.

High-Temperature Scorching Ray is a top-tier apprentice spell, and also an advanced version of the intermediate spell Scorching Ray.

Serena's choice to study this top-tier apprentice magic is theoretically correct.

But not everyone is Saine.

"The construction of a towering building often depends on whether its foundation is solid."

"Although I have been promoted to Level-1 Magician, I have felt increasingly weak in many areas of basic genealogical knowledge over the years."

"The problem you are facing is very likely the same."

"Alright, put aside your research on the ' High-Temperature Scorching Ray ' for now and instead focus your attention on learning the basics."

"I'll give you a list of some good Magic Books. These are books I read during my apprenticeship, and they should be quite useful to you," Saine said to Serena while handling the roast meat on his plate with a knife and fork.

"Yes," Serena replied gently.

Serena didn't care what books Saine would give her; she was more interested in the fact that Saine had read those books back then, which made Serena extremely curious about those Magic Books as well.

It was no accident that Saine was able to master the Sun's Eye Magic as an apprentice and, with the help of the Sun's Eye Mask, become Peak Apprentice.

Countless days and nights were spent in the library with books, and in the laboratory, I worked tirelessly.

The amount of books Saine read during his apprenticeship was probably unmatched by any other apprentice in the Azure Source Holy Tower.

Nevertheless, even after being promoted one level, Saine still felt that he lacked knowledge in many areas.

The more I read and the more I know, the clearer I become of my own insignificance and ignorance.

On the contrary, those Mage, after advancing one level, believe they have mastered many of the mysteries of magical elements and become complacent with their own strength will gradually lose the ability and potential to continue improving.

That kind of blind arrogance is the worst poison for Mage, and it is also a symbol of "ignorance".

How terrible and incomprehensible it would be if a Mage known for his erudition and pursuit of Truth were labeled as "ignorant".

He took another sip of the juice that Serena had personally mixed for him, savoring its familiar sweetness, Serena Saine the study plan he had arranged for her.

With Saine arranging everything, Serena felt genuinely at ease.

Rather than being seen as a cold and aloof female apprentice by outsiders, Serena would rather hide in Saine's embrace and safe haven.

This woman was not a particularly strong-willed Mage.
