5: Chapter 0005 Procurement

While practicing Knight combat skills during this period, Student Li Size finally figured out how the power system in this world worked.

Everyone knows that at least nine out of ten students will never enter the true circle of Wizards.

So how will the remaining people survive in the future?

They can't all go into technical fields, can they?

On the battlefield, not all Duchy soldiers are Wizard Apprentices; they rely on Knights to hold the line.

Student Li Size thought that if he couldn't become a Wizard, being a Knight would also be quite good.

For most people, cultivating as a Knight is easier to succeed in.

Although there are differences in talent, there is no attribute value threshold.

After training, all aspects of the body can slowly become stronger, except for Mental Energy.

Student Li Size's current four-dimensional attributes are much stronger than those of an average adult; they were all developed through the Knight cultivation methods taught at school.

Every time he finished training, he could feel the strength in his muscles increasing.

His agility was particularly good, ranking near the top among the students. If he joined the army, he could definitely become a squad leader.

If a single attribute reaches a Breakthrough of 3, one can become a formal Knight.

Learning some secret Knight techniques after that greatly increases the chance of becoming a military officer.

There are even legendary, powerful Great Knights whose physical attribute values can reach above 10 points, possessing immense strength in every move!

Student Li Size previously wanted to be a Wizard, but after his dream shattered, he placed his hope on the path of the Knight.

Recalling how many Knights in the Duchy's history achieved nobility through military merit, he clenched his fists, feeling a bit excited inside.

However, the miraculous function of Pay-to-Win, which could consume Gold Coins to boost Mental Energy and assist in learning sorcery, made him feel that the path of a Wizard was not far from him.

Or, perhaps he could Cultivate both?

Felina noticed Student Li Size was spacing out and stopped beside him:

"Come, follow me and practice the Knight Breathing Method.

Inhale through the nose for four seconds, sinking it to the Dantian, hold your breath for two seconds, then exhale slowly for six seconds. Your rib cage must rise and fall with the breath."

She stood behind Student Li Size, gently placing her palms on his waist and abdomen.

"Feel the changes here. Yes, just like that."

Student Li Size followed her instructions to breathe. His nose suddenly caught the faint scent of grass and wood from her body, his heart inexplicably skipped half a beat, and his breathing rhythm almost fell apart.

Then, Felina picked up an iron sword to demonstrate the basic swordsmanship:

"When gripping the sword, keep a one-fist distance between your hands. Point the tip of the sword at the target's center in front of you. Power must transfer from your waist and abdomen to your elbows, then to your wrists."

She executed a thrust, her movements crisp and fluid.

"You try it."

Student Li Size awkwardly struck a pose. As soon as he thrust out a sword, Felina corrected him:

"Don't keep your wrist too stiff; relax a bit."

Her fingers lightly touched his wrist. The warm sensation caused Student Li Size's earlobes to flush slightly.

He stared at her focused profile and completely forgot the next movement.

After a morning of study, the panel for his Pay-to-Win Ability truthfully reflected the improvement in his Knight cultivation method. This visible reward made him exceptionally excited:

Low-Grade Knight Cultivation Method [Entry Level 78 / 100]

Note: A cultivation method capable of slowly improving physical fitness.

Diligence leads to the Peak. Proficiency, Mastery, and Major Achievement levels will enhance the effect. Upon reaching Major Achievement, one can glimpse another world. Consume Energy Points to optimize.

Encouraged by their beautiful teacher, the youths worked up a sweat on the training ground and soon finished the Knight course.

After training concluded, Felina called Student Li Size to her office alone.

The sorcery crystal lamp in the office emitted a soft light. The wall was adorned with faint golden, mysterious sorcery runes, and on the desk sat a sorcery crystal pen engraved with runes.

Student Li Size's gaze was involuntarily drawn to the faint golden, mysterious sorcery rune on the wall. His steps instinctively paused, his heart filled with curiosity about its function.

At that moment, a cold, mechanical voice suddenly popped up in his mind:

[Consume 1 Energy Point to Analyze the structure and efficacy of the current mysterious sorcery rune]

While Student Li Size was stunned, Felina sat in her chair, leaning slightly forward:

"Student Li Size, I hear your family and George's family both run blacksmith shops in town?

Recently, major factories have taken on many military contracts, so the Education Bureau's equipment orders have been postponed.

The Municipal Education Bureau had no choice but to delegate the procurement tasks for all town academies to the academies themselves.

I discussed it with the Dean, and we plan to favor the local blacksmith shops as much as possible. Do you see how well your instructor treats you?"

This was truly a pillow delivered when he was sleepy!

Student Li Size felt a surge of joy in his heart. He had been worrying about finding a way to make money, and now an opportunity had presented itself.

He rubbed the back of his head, unable to hide the smile on his face.

His excitement was overflowing in his tone: "Thank you so much! As long as I can secure this order, Teacher, I'll do whatever you ask!"
