Chapter 293: Gene Analysis
Just like the contact with Malo-Haige, if it were someone else, there might be a suspicion of 'taking sides'.
However, putting this behavior on Jia Na would only give people the feeling of 'not judging people with colored glasses', 'not changing their attitude due to rumors', and 'being consistent in appearance and reality'.
And these are the protective effects of a 'positive image'.
Of course, besides that, Jia Na, who had been teammates with Malo-Haige for a while in the Swamp Secret Realm, would not cold-shoulder or even isolate Malo-Haige for no reason just because of Vivian's few words.
Because Jia Na herself has her own set of standards for judging and recognizing people. At the same time, she also wants to use this matter to remind Vivian that no matter how good their relationship is, there are some matters of principle that cannot be easily touched upon.
Just like Vivian cannot affect Jia Na's circle of free friendships because of certain positions of the Rose Family. As the class time approached, the number of people in the classroom gradually increased.
At a glance, Jia Na found that most of the people taking the 'Mutant Studies' course were Wizard Apprentices from the Bloodline Side.
"There are quite a few people who chose this elective."
Looking at the almost full classroom, Vivian, who had put away the empty coffee milk bottles that she and Jia Na had finished, couldn't help but exclaim with a hint of surprise.
"Indeed, compared to Principal Anthony's other classes, the number of people who chose this elective has almost tripled."
Anthony-Black Sparrow currently has three courses: 'Contract Studies', 'Medical', and 'Mutant Studies'. And coincidentally, these three courses are all within Jia Na's elective range.
Just like Anthony-Black Sparrow's 'Medical', only sixteen people had signed up so far. But today, looking at the almost full classroom, Jia Na also experienced the popularity of the 'Mutant Studies' course. "Okay, it's almost time for class."
Looking at the clock on the classroom wall, and seeing that it was almost time, Anthony-Black Sparrow also stopped his experiment. After putting the equipment back on the podium, he scanned the classroom and finally fixed his gaze on Jia Na, the only familiar face.
"Not bad, the number of people is even more than I imagined—Class begins!"
"Good morning, Principal Anthony!"
Hearing the neat voices below, Anthony-Black Sparrow nodded with satisfaction, and then refocused his gaze on the textbook on the podium.
"Everyone, turn your textbooks to Chapter 2, Section 1."
The sound of rustling pages kept echoing in the classroom. When Jia Na skipped the content of the first chapter and directly turned to Chapter 2, Section 1, the chapter title 【Bloodline Analysis】, which she had already highlighted during her preview, came into Jia Na's sight.
"Starting directly from the content of Chapter 2—"
Jia Na, who had previewed the content of the 'Mutant Studies' course in advance, naturally knew the general gist of each chapter.
Just like the content of the first chapter mainly introduces what 'mutation' is. And the second chapter takes 'bloodline' as an example and begins to elaborate on the main theme of 'Mutant Studies'.
"To make it easier for you to understand, I will use the example from Chapter 2 as a starting point to tell you what mutation is."
With that, with a wave of his long sleeve, the alchemical equipment placed in front of Anthony-Black Sparrow was all put back into his interdimensional space ring. In its place was a high-resolution silver microscope.
"You guys also take out your experimental equipment."
Hearing Anthony-Black Sparrow's words, all the apprentices in the classroom also took out the high-resolution microscopes they had already prepared in advance.
"Jia Na, did you bring extra slides?"
"Yes, here you go."
After handing a transparent glass slide to Vivian next to her, Jia Na also placed a slide next to her microscope.
When choosing 'Mutant Studies' as an elective, the course description stated that this course would involve a large number of experiments, so,
Apprentices need to prepare experimental equipment in advance. Among them, a high-resolution alchemical microscope is one of the most commonly used experimental equipment.
"Ding—" Just as Jia Na was preparing to listen to the lecture, another task prompt sounded in Jia Na's mind.
【Today's Task: Complete a Mutant Studies experiment:
Task Reward: 100 Talent Experience, 500 Skill Experience, one random reward.】
"Is it a white task—"
Looking at the task box with white text, Jia Na calmly closed the task panel.
"Mutant Studies talks about the various differences between biological species and individuals, including morphological, physiological, and external variations. At the same time, mutation is also the root of biological evolution and human breeding, including heritable and non-heritable mutations—However, the direction of mutation we need to focus on is not these, but the bloodline mutation, or rather, gene mutation, which the field of Mysticism has been focusing on—"
Jia Na, who had previewed the content in advance, naturally knew that the content Anthony-Black Sparrow was currently lecturing on belonged to the basic overview part of Chapter 1 of 'Mutant Studies', which was relatively obscure and difficult to understand.
"And the reason why I will start from Chapter 2 today is also to help you understand the purpose of 'Mutant Studies' through an experiment involving yourselves—"
"Before that, follow me and learn 【Insight Spell】."
Saying that, a short incantation accompanied by casting gestures was demonstrated by Anthony-Black Sparrow on the spot. Seeing this, the group of Wizard Apprentices below also imitated it.
"This Witchcraft is quite simple."
Hearing Vivian's words, Jia Na also nodded.
The difficulty of this 【Insight Spell】 is only slightly higher than normal apprentice cantrips. For Second-level Wizard Apprentices like Jia Na and Vivian, it is not difficult.
Of course, most of the people who signed up for the 'Mutant Studies' course were also third-year Second-level Wizard Apprentices, so they learned this Witchcraft very easily.
"System, upgrade 【Insight Spell】 to the highest level."
Looking at the 【Insight Spell】 on the character panel, which had been upgraded to the current level cap, Jia Na closed the character panel with satisfaction.
Since there were fewer and fewer Witchcrafts available for Jia Na to learn in the academy, Jia Na had accumulated a considerable amount of skill experience.
Therefore, even for the simplest Witchcraft, Jia Na would not hesitate to add points and upgrade it to the highest level.
Not only that, because Jia Na's two Wizard Talents were also in a "temporarily unable to upgrade" state, so,
Unconsciously, Jia Na had also accumulated a lot of talent experience.
"Next, the first experiment we are going to do is gene chain analysis—"
