Chapter 370 Star Guard
Jia Na also nodded when she heard Professor Uta's words.
A few days ago, when Dark Sun Apostles were hiding in White Coral Academy, Professor Uta had specifically called Jia Na and assigned her the urgent task of "stopping the Dark Sun Church's God Descent Ritual."
The specific content of the task was for Jia Na to use the power of the Growth Law Fragment to stimulate the plants in the academy's back mountain, thereby solving the problem of Turin City residents constantly having their Life force extracted by the Dark Sun Apostles.
In the end, Jia Na lived up to expectations and successfully completed this task, protecting the lives of Turin City residents from being eroded by the Dark Sun Apostles—
"Whoosh—"
With a gentle lift of his right hand, as the books on the bookshelf continuously flipped, magic scrolls made of parchment flew into Professor Uta's hand.
"I have a lot of advanced knowledge about Guardian Studies here, but the most suitable for you—"
As he spoke, a silver-white magic scroll flew out of Professor Uta's hand.
"It's still this one."
As he spoke, the silver-white magic scroll landed in front of Jia Na.
"Star Guard?"
Looking at the title written on the scroll, Jia Na's gaze involuntarily fell upon the hexagram ring on her right middle finger.
"The knowledge on this scroll belongs to advanced Ritual Wizardry in Guardian Studies, and it is also a Guardian-type Wizardry more suitable for Wizard Apprentices to cast."
Since Jia Na had not yet signed a confidentiality agreement, apart from the four large characters of "Star Guard," Jia Na currently could not see any other content within the magic scroll.
"Thank you for your gift, Professor."
"Don't thank me, this is your deserved reward."
After casually throwing the empty glass bottle in his hand into the waste bin next to the experimental table, Professor Uta stood up again, walked to the side of the ritual table, and picked up one of the crystal balls emitting a silver-white light.
"Take this crystal ball with you too; you will use it when you formally begin to learn the knowledge within this scroll."
With that, the crystal ball emitting a silver-white light also flew from Professor Uta's hand to in front of Jia Na.
"Okay."
Although Jia Na still didn't know the specific purpose of the crystal ball, she obediently put both items into her thorn bracelet.
In the time that followed, Jia Na took advantage of this rare opportunity to consult Professor Uta on all the points of confusion she had in Guardian Studies, only stopping after a long while. "Professor, it's getting late. I'll head back first."
"Hmm, if you don't understand anything about the knowledge on that scroll during this period, you can come to me anytime."
"Okay, thank you again, Professor."
After bidding farewell to Professor Uta, Jia Na took the elevator downstairs.
However, Jia Na, after leaving the Magic Tower, did not rush back to her dormitory but continued to walk towards the library as originally planned.
"Before returning to the dormitory, I still need to complete today's daily task."
【Today's Task: Read ten or more books; Task Reward: 100 Talent Experience, 500 Skill Experience, one random reward.】
Just as Jia Na walked out of the elevator door, preparing to return to her dormitory to study the advanced Guardian Studies knowledge of Star Guard, the familiar system prompt sounded in Jia Na's mind again.
And this time's task was still the reading task that Jia Na had repeated several times.
"Unknowingly, I've almost read more than half of the books in the library."
With the assistance of Reading Magic and Jia Na's habit of frequenting the library, Jia Na's reading volume grew larger and larger—eventually, she had read almost all books related to general knowledge.
Therefore, in the latter half of the semester, Jia Na could only start reading other specialized knowledge that did not align with her areas of expertise.
For example, "Introduction to Astrological Magic," "Alchemy Golem Disassembly," "Body Cultivation Mysteries," "Advanced Trap Solving," and other diverse content.
From a certain perspective, Jia Na's approach could only be considered a superficial understanding of knowledge, as she had not mastered the content of all the books she read.
However, from another perspective, for a novice apprentice like Jia Na, the books in the library, which Anthony-Black Sparrow had authorized her to access for free, were undoubtedly the fastest way for her to acquire knowledge at the moment.
Precisely because of this, Jia Na cherished this hard-won opportunity even more.
Even if it was just superficial reading, Jia Na's Exceptional Memory talent allowed her to firmly remember the content of every book she had read.
Even if Jia Na didn't understand it at the moment, she believed that as her accumulation and understanding of knowledge deepened, she would be able to systematically integrate and refine these complex knowledge points. "Is it really that late already?"
Jia Na, who had stayed in the library for an entire afternoon and evening, finally completed today's reading task when the stars filled the night sky.
【Today's Task: Read ten or more books (Completed); Task Reward: 100 Talent Experience, 500 Skill Experience, Comprehension +0.1.】
Looking at the reward notification on the task panel, Jia Na rubbed her slightly throbbing temples and then closed the panel.
"I should have known better than to preview the magic scroll Professor Uta gave me—"
Jia Na's original plan for today was to complete the "read ten books" task in the library, then rest up until tomorrow, and use the time after work to study the advanced Guardian Studies knowledge Professor Uta had given her today.
However, when Jia Na had only read five books, she couldn't resist and immediately signed the confidentiality agreement for the magic scroll in the library, beginning to study the knowledge on the scroll.
Initially, Jia Na truly only wanted to roughly browse the content of the magic scroll and had no real intention of studying it.
However, the advanced Guardian Studies knowledge called Star Guard was simply too captivating. In a short while, Jia Na's attention was completely immersed in the Wizardry knowledge of Star Guard, and she completely forgot about the "reading task."
All content related to Star Guard in the magic scroll was written in Dragon Language. Even though the length was not long, Jia Na still spent more than three hours just to barely understand it.
Even so, there were still many specialized terms that left Jia Na bewildered.
"It seems I'll still have to consult Professor Uta after all—"
