Chapter 252: Chapter 201 Magic Professors

"You are not qualified, you are not qualified,"

Gapar stared at this line of text, becoming as still as a statue for a few seconds, motionless.

He let go of his hand, the text disappeared, then pressed again, and the text reappeared.

"..."

He fell into silence, thinking to himself at this moment:

I know I’m not qualified, but is there really a need to repeat the phrase ’not qualified’ twice?

One reminder would be enough, but two together...

If this isn’t mockery, then I don’t know what is!

Gapar, driven by anger, hacked at the seal a few times, but his sword just passed through, unable to inflict any damage.

At this moment, he missed Leon a bit, or to be exact, he missed Leon’s Feces Pot.

If he had the Feces Pot in hand, he could throw a few at this damn seal to relieve the resentment in his heart!

What exactly is this ’qualification’?

He thought of the Spades, Red Heart rooms—could it be that he needed to collect some kind of item there? Similar to the Transfer Token.

The thought of it was quite a hassle...

Gapar happened to dislike beating around the bush. If it were Luluwo here, he would no doubt excitedly explore everywhere.

"Right, there’s also that hat."

He suddenly remembered the Master’s Hat. Perhaps if he discussed the situation with the hat, he might get some hints.

Upon this thought, he followed the path back to the starting point, and on the way back, he paid special attention, realizing the distribution of buildings on the left and right forked paths wasn’t entirely clear.

If he chose the left path, there would be the Communication Center, several halls, and doors that could only be opened with corresponding patterned keys—a combination of enigma-solving and checkpoints.

Choosing the right path, on the other hand, wouldn’t present much difficulty other than encountering monsters, and the road condition was simpler. At least for now, he hadn’t seen any hidden paths. Even if there were forked paths, they would eventually lead back to the main road after twists and turns.

Following the main road on the right side all the way would lead to the courtyard. He observed particularly, the courtyard had a door leading to the left path. Thus, it seemed that both the left and right paths end at the courtyard.

After reaching the courtyard via one path, one can try to explore the other path in reverse.

However, this time, for safety and speed, he did not reverse trace the left path and directly returned to the classroom where the Master’s Hat was.

"You’re back so quickly?"

"Whats the seal guarded by the Calia Knight?"

"I told you, didn’t I? It leads to the Research Area."

The Master’s Hat looked at Gapar with dissatisfaction, as if scolding a student who wasn’t attentive in class.

"What exactly is the Research Area?" Gapar asked, lowering his stance decisively.

"It’s the place where tutors conduct their research. Why do you ask such questions, you don’t plan to go in, do you?"

Gapar did not confirm or deny, simply nodding his head.

"I must warn you, don’t imagine it as just a larger classroom; the range of the Research Area is larger than this academy itself!"

"The Research Area has already become strange and unusual due to the tutors’ research. Each tutor’s responsible area differs completely from other regions, not just in scenery but also in terms of buildings, monsters, and even some rules!"

"If you enter the Research Area without a tutor’s protection, you will most likely die; worse than dying is getting lost in there."

It sounded like a very dangerous place.

"What about the small probability?" Gapar asked with interest.

Unfortunately, no matter how dangerous a place is, there are always those who explore. He wasn’t scared at all.

"You kid..."

The Master’s Hat sounded rather helpless and finally said:

"If you collect three strands of magic power from different owners, you can unlock the seal. A three-person team has a higher survival rate."

"If you really don’t want to team up with others, then go find a Research Area limited Transfer Token. I remember it was placed in a room with a Spade pattern."

So that was it.

This was pretty much implying to Gapar that he should either find teammates or solve puzzles to get the item that unlocks the seal.

"Um..."

After considering it and bidding farewell to the Master’s Hat, he headed towards the left path. After many twists and turns, he finally found the Spade room but couldn’t find the key to open the door no matter what.

Given his previous experience where the use of force led to the disappearance of the Transfer Token, even if the Spade Door looked like just a thin panel of wood, he dared not resort to violence again.

To some extent, the Sain Dungeon had subtly "tamed" Gapar.

That left only one answer then, to find teammates.

As for who the teammates were, they would naturally be the four individuals with the highest magical proficiency currently in Bed City.

Before departing, Gapar stopped practicing Sun Fist, a spell casting approach he cherished as it was the first "official" magic he had learned, and not just any Great Sword or hammer.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t take it out of the Dungeon. When he enters next time, will the Tutor Hat still assign me the same tutor? Or will it choose someone else?

If it’s the latter, it would be difficult for me to encounter Sun Fist again.

It was only when he felt he was delaying too much that he reluctantly used the Transfer Token to return to the endless corridor and took the elevator back to the Fire Transmission Ceremony.

Indeed, the moment he set foot on the elevator, his student ID turned invisible and disappeared, along with all memories of Sun Fist, except for the name itself.

What a dominant rule.

He turned back to look at the elevator, thinking to himself that I will definitely come back, then resolutely left the Dungeon.

It was already dusk in the outside world. The Ancient City outside the Teleportation Gate was still bustling, but it seemed quite tranquil compared to the crowds that appeared when the Dungeon closed at night.

There’s a passionate excitement in busyness and a leisurely tranquility in quietness. At least, Gapar felt that dusk should be a bit quieter, lying on a tree and watching the sunset with the evening breeze.

But he was not in the mood to leisurely watch the sunset now, as he headed straight for the area in Bed City where the aristocrats and the Lord Mansion resided.

To ask for help from Count Charon?

Of course not, Gapar didn’t care for him. He was really looking for another group of people who lived in a large house in that area.

The professors of the Magic Association.

When these people first came to Bed City with him, Gapar had died several times in the Sain Dungeon, and yet there was still no sign of them, nor had he heard any news about them entering the Dungeon.

It just felt like they stayed in their villas all day, not coming out for fresh air.

The residents of Bed City were almost forgetting that there were such prominent figures in town.

Gapar recalled that these professors’ initial goal was to come to Bed City to exchange knowledge on "Star Magic" with a mysterious Magician.

But after arriving in the city, they couldn’t find the person, even with Tracking Magic. Still, they found nothing.

To be honest, Gapar didn’t understand what these people were still doing here. If you can’t find the person and stay home without entering the Dungeon, why not return to the Association? Wouldn’t it be more comfortable to stay in your own Mage Tower than here?

Fortunately, they haven’t left; now Gapar can find a partner.

The professors’ mansion was huge, almost as opulent as Count Charon’s residence, looking very extravagant. To a Mage of the professor’s rank, money was no object.

The attendant who served as a door guard at the mansion ran in to report as soon as he saw Gapar.

He used Fighting Qi to sense around, and in addition to three strong life forces, there were thirty or forty ordinary ones; it seems these were the attendants.

Taken away on a long trip with only thirty or forty attendants, these Magic Professors seemed rather frugal.

"Lord Gapar, please come in."

The attendant opened the gate but didn’t dare to enter. Gapar glanced at the dark hallway, frowned slightly, and stepped inside.

The moment the front door closed behind him, the lights suddenly turned on, illuminating the place as if it were daylight, and three figures sat opposite him, each staring at him with a different expression.

Alright, these guys wanted to intimidate me...

"Long time no see, Mr. Gapar, what brings you here today?"

The speaker was a young lady, one whose age made it difficult to associate her with the title of Magic Professor, yet she indeed was the youngest professor in recent years and the title was well-deserved.

"Tursi, watch your words. How can a distinguished professor use such frivolous language?" scolded a handsome young man with long hair reaching his waist, with bangs that partially covered his face. From his clothes to his movements, everything was meticulous, reminiscent of the nobles from the Royal City.

"..."

Sitting beside the man was a staid old man with withered features and a pale complexion. His emotionless eyes stared straight at Gapar, making him feel involuntarily linked to an Undead; children would cry at the sight of him.

One professor was missing, for some unknown reason.

Gapar knew these people and could easily recount their backgrounds.

The first to speak was the lady named Turci, the youngest professor in history, head of the Healing Department of the Magic Association, primarily researching Water Attribute-related Healing Magic and Defense Magic.

The man who scolded her was Seth, born into a bona fide lineage of Royal City nobles, who turned to become a Magician and indeed made substantial achievements. His main research field is Wind attribute-related Concealing Magic.

Right, he also has a no-good disciple named Roger.

The most terrifying-looking elder was Hades, the most senior Magic Professor to visit Bed City this time, with rather scant information available about him since he spends most of his time in the Mage Tower. His primary research direction is Magic Power circulation methods related to All Attributes.

It was he who reproduced the Luminous Stone Magic Gravel based on the description sent by Gong Qiying in the letter, though it was fundamentally different from the real Luminous Stone Magic Gravel.

The visiting professor group centered around him.

As for the absent professor, let’s not mention him for the time being.

"I’ve got an opportunity for you, it’s up to you to seize it or not."

Gapar smiled and recounted everything he had witnessed in the Reyalucaria Magic Classroom.

Numerous unfamiliar names of Magicians, "that thing," the Tutor Hat, the research area...

And most importantly, the Magic Radiance that could aid in learning magic.

Seeing the reflective expressions on the professors’ faces, Gapar knew what their answer would be.

None can refuse the allure of the Sain Dungeon. No one.
