Chapter 257: test

Joan briefly looked at the magic scrolls provided by Thomas and then stuffed them into the storage bag as the focus of the next stage of learning.
Thomas also picked up five interesting spell scrolls from him, and then said goodbye to Joan and the Dindal brothers. He rushed to the Rolls instructor to ask for leave, and he also asked Joan to take seven days off.
The purpose of the Dindal brothers' trip has been achieved, and he happily followed Joan out of the laboratory and went to the dining hall of Leiden College.
The brothers' minds were not on the food, and they kept looking away, looking at the girls in and out of the cafeteria, sometimes whispering and talking, and making a frivolous laughter, which attracted the girls' surprise or contempt.
Joan was cheeky and accompanied the brothers in the cafeteria for half an hour, and then sent them out of the school and returned to the dorm alone.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the dormitory, he saw Thomas' back and ran a few steps to catch up, asking him if the Rolls instructor was on leave.
"The leave is down. Unfortunately, I didn't happen to go today. Edward was also at the tutor's house, and he also went to leave. As a result, the Rolls instructor took Edward as a benchmark and beat me hard. It's really bad!"
Thomas threw himself into the soft sofa in the living room on the second floor, complaining bitterly.
"What did the tutor say?"
"It's not the same stereotype, criticizing me for being too playful and not focusing all my energy on my studies."
"That's the truth." Jo Ann smiled appreciatively.
"But Edward doesn't take time off to participate in the hunting convention? Why didn't the tutor say him!" Thomas complained disappointedly.
"Probably because Edward's mage rank is higher than you..." Joan guessed.
The result really got him right.
"The mentor said that Edward, as a level 3 mage, is qualified to go on vacation to relax, but my talent is not worse than that of Edward, and now he is only a small level 2 mage and should be ashamed..."
Thomas sighed and apologized.
"I'm sorry, Joanne, I couldn't keep up at the time, I couldn't help but drag you into the water."
"What does this matter to me?" Qiao An asked in surprise.
"I said to the mentor, your talent is better than me and Edward, and work harder, and now it is only a 2nd-level master, you are not in a hurry, I have nothing to worry about..."
"As a result, I don't say this is okay. When I mentioned you, Tutor Rawls was even more angry."
"The mentor also said that I am not qualified to compare with you. If you have such good family conditions as me, you have received systematic arcane education since childhood, and now you should study at Meadgard University. The achievement is more than a small second. Level mage."
Thomas recounted the praise of Rolls' mentor to Joan, patting his shoulder and pretending to have a serious expression.
"Joan, everyone can see that among you, me and Edward, the Rolls mentor has the greatest expectation of you. You can work hard and don't let the mentor down!"
"I will work hard, but you wait... How did the topic get to me? Shouldn't you work harder yourself!" Joan asked angrily.
"Of course I will cheer, but I can't spend my youth just to learn!"
Thomas's hippie smiled and cheered.
"Appropriate leisure and entertainment are good for relieving fatigue. You need to rest enough to study hard."
"Dare you say that to Rawls?" Joan stared at him suspiciously.
"Of course... not dare!"
Thomas scratched his head and smiled bitterly around Joan's shoulder.
"Mr. Rawls has already set the conditions. If he can’t be promoted to the level 3 mage before July 1, he won’t allow us to attend the hunting conference! Today is the 20th, leaving us only ten days left. Joan, are you sure?"
"It should be too late."
Joan is quite sure to upgrade the mage level before the end of the month, but out of personal habits, he has never said too much.
"That's good, it seems I have to work harder!"
Thomas rarely showed self-motivatedness.
"Come on, I'll go upstairs first."
Joan returned to the attic, first placed the Arcane scroll code exchanged with Thomas on the desk, lit the oil lamp, spread out the spell book, dipped the pen and dipped it in the ink, and transcribed it.
It wasn't until the early morning bell sounded outside the window that Qiao An transcribed six 1st-level spells on the spell book and got up to move his hands and feet.
Passing the stairs, he accidentally found that the second floor was still lit.
Through the door slit, the rustling of the pen tip across the paper could be heard faintly.
It seems that Thomas not only talked about it, but did put more energy in his studies than usual.
After more than three months of getting along, Joan had a deeper understanding of Thomas.
This rich man is very smart, but he is too playful and he has not invested all his energy in his studies.
In fact, this can not blame Thomas.
If Joan, like him, was born with a "golden spoon" and is the heir to an 80,000-mu plantation, he would not have to do anything in this life, and he would have countless money for himself to eat, drink and have fun, enjoy life as much as possible. How many power-focused spells are left?
Thinking further, what is the purpose of learning spells?
If you just want to change your poverty and live a prosperous life with clothes and food, then Thomas Chap has already achieved this goal without studying spells. Why waste his youth and study hard?
Even if he succeeds in learning, how much can he improve his quality of life?
Is it worth the effort compared to the reward?
As far as Joan is concerned, of course, changing the economic dilemma is one of the motivations for learning magic, but it is not the main motivation, and the knowledge itself is his greatest pleasure.
By studying magic, he was able to understand the world he lives in more clearly, and at the same time, he improved his survivability and gained capital to further explore the world and even all planes.
When he thought that there are so many unsolved mysteries in the world waiting for him to reveal, and there are so many secret beasts waiting for him to explore, Joan feels excited and full of anticipation for every day in the future.
He did not know what motivated Thomas to study. From the perspective of daily communication, the elders of the Chap family did not seem to fully support Thomas in choosing the profession of master. At first, the family hoped that he would study law and lay the foundation for the future to enter the political arena.
Since Thomas violated the expectations of his elders and insisted on choosing an arcane major, Joanne could only think that the rich master was as fascinated by magic as he was, and had a strong desire for knowledge.
The difference between the two of them is that Joan was born in poverty, suffered too much from childhood, plus he had a peculiar pedigree, and was mentally tortured by disease. Learning magic is his only way to get rid of life and mental pain .
It can even be said to be more extreme. If Joan is not allowed to learn magic, he will lose his motivation to live.
If there is only one minute left in life, Joan hopes to use this last minute to study spells.
Thomas' interest in magic is far less enthusiastic than Joan.
He certainly loves magic, but he also loves food, wine, beauty, boxing, dancing, horse racing, hunting and many other exciting things.
Magic is not the only pursuit in Thomas' life.
