Unsurprisingly, Markus passed out in exhaustion. "The poor boy was holding in a lot," Al commented as he carefully inspected the sleeping Markus' condition. Al and Guy were now back at Markus' dormitory. "I can imagine. I've seen kids like this before. He had nearly lost all hope. His soul was burnt-out and lifeless," Guy spoke morosely. "By the way, where did you find that spell? I've never seen anything like this before," Al asked inquisitively. "Umm," Guy searched for a decent response. He didn't…-

Guy felt that he had come too far to give up now. The amount of progress he made in one hour blew the last three weeks out of the water. As a logical thinker, Guy decided to use deductive reasoning to figure out a possible solution. In some spell books, there were crude circles where the author tried using Common Tongue. While the spells worked, the mana expenditure was massive. With this, Guy developed a train of thought. 'Ancient Tongue is used because it is precise. The more precise the magic is, the…

Guy picked the first component shape on the list and tried to cast it in isolation. With circle-based magic, this was possible as long as the spell could be standalone. Some components had dependencies. For those spells, Guy would have to work backwards and cast the dependencies in tandem with it. While the RoK greatly amplified his rate of progress, it was technically considered an isolated space. His body was not physically present in here, only his consciousness was. Therefore, Guy had to alternate…

"Look it's that squib again. Why's he wasting his time?" "Heh! People should know when to give up." During the past three weeks of the semester, Markus would punctually arrive at the public practising grounds at 7 am and would diligently run through a list of spells provided by Teacher Larks. Over time, he had grown numb to the jeering remarks his so-called peers would throw his way. They'd call him a squib. A waste of time. A stray. Sometimes they'd get creative and direct their insults to his deceased…

After entering the RoK, Guy was now face-to-face with Mast's avatar. With an irritated growl, Guy started to vent his frustrations. 'Why can't you help me? You saw how hard I worked the past 3 weeks. I accomplished diddly-squat!' Guy complained. (It's not that I am unwilling to help you. While you were busy, I looked around for possible solutions myself. But you see, there aren't any existing solutions in this world to your problem,) Mast soothed Guy. Guy's eyebrows furrowed. He probed, 'But aren't you…

Gaige was sitting in the lotus position inside his room, staring at the book and the potion container in front of him. He was feeling a little conflicted. Not even a moment ago, he was silently bad-mouthing Teacher Way, only to get such expensive gifts handed to him. He knew just how expensive the Bloodline Partial-Awakening potions were. He was a little suspicious about their quality, but he couldn't question the alchemy guild's certification attached to the container. The cultivation method was what…

To partially awaken the Abyssal Wyrm's bloodline within Gaige. The most optimal strategy would be to brew a Bloodline Partial-Awakening potion with an Abyssal Wyrm's vitality base. These vitality bases could be in any form as long as they held the bloodline's fragment. Initially, Wei Zao was planning to source out an Abyssal Wyrm scale, even a tiny sliver of it. But finding an Abyssal Demon nail shaving caused him to completely change his initial plan. In his Omniscient Library, there was a recipe for…

The testing hall was fairly spacious. There were tables placed with around 6-feet of separation between them row- and column-wise. The examinees started to take their seats starting from the front-most spots. Eida walked up to the examiner's table right at the front of the hall and handed out the test papers face-down to all the occupied desks. Following that, she waited for the clock at the front of the hall to perfectly reach the next hour and gestured for everyone to begin. The test was an hour-long…

Wei Zao stood before the Alchemy Guild's building. Before he took over this body, the original "Jo Way" had tried to apply for an alchemy license, only to fail miserably. Thankfully this was in another city. Just thinking about the mess the original body made sent a shiver down Wei Zao's spine. For teachers, having a practising license in another occupation was a huge plus. Having a certification in another profession would automatically make a teacher more desirable. Teachers could be classified into…

A/N: Hi guys! This is the author from the future. When I started this book, I intended it as a parody of existing novels of this genre (teaching, cultivation, transmigration, etc.). Jo Way/Wei Zao was a character I created for this purpose (he would be a parody of typical MCs from books of this genre). HOWEVER, as I kept writing and listening to reader feedback, my characters gained new life. So, I chose to pivot and change the flavour of this book. It turns from a parody to original work. This change…
