Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

"Very well, trust me, child, you have made the right choice. Trust me, in the Duchy of England, no one can surpass me, your teacher, in the art of shaping energy spells."

Luxius’s eyes softened considerably, and he had higher expectations for this child.

Scroll Scholars originated from the gods, and upon formally completing their job change and advancing to a certain level, they could acquire the ability to copy spells from different divine systems.

There are rumors that in the days before the brilliance of magic had emerged, Scroll Scholars cultivated historical materials, read through ancient church scriptures, and based on countless epochs of Dark Knowledge, explored a pathway for mortals to replicate a profession from divine arts.

That might have been one of the earliest origins of the Mage profession.

To those who heard about Scroll Scholars at a low or mid-level, their first impression of the profession was that it was overpowered.

They couldn’t understand why Scroll Scholars could copy vastly different divine spells from different deities, as if they were inherently privileged to do so.

Regarding this claim, Luxius scoffed.

A simple truth, divine arts originated from deities, and without the permission of the deities, priests, even if they shouted themselves hoarse, couldn’t use divine arts smoothly.

Divine arts were inherently a power system developed by the gods to interfere with regions outside their divine realms, showcasing their divine might.

The fact that Scroll Scholars could obtain permission from all deities to copy and use related divine arts without being punished was already a question to all—

What kind of existence holds such great power that it could make all deities oblige, allowing Scroll Scholars to directly use their divine arts?

The answer is clear.

Even those powerful deities, mythical remnants, Abyss Lords, or Elemental Monarchs, who have enemies, would not allow their rivals’ subordinates to use their own divine arts to please an enemy.

If there truly were such an existence, it could only be the world itself.

Only the world itself, having split its authority into countless rules, could make all deities, however reluctantly, grant this special privilege to Scroll Scholars.

This was indeed a profession that could only be assumed with the world’s permission and was also… Luxius’s part-time profession. Your journey continues on мѵʟ

Thus, the moment Luxius met Kael, having been a part-time Scroll Scholar for many years, he realized that this child had the potential to be a part-time Scroll Scholar as well.

The knowledge that his client had passed on to him was indeed of great value, but without this premise, Luxius wouldn’t have extended an invitation to him.

He was long past the time when he needed to flaunt his scholarly achievements through students of special status and identity.

"Since you are willing to become my student, I will later grant you access to my magic testing area and Mage Tower," Luxius continued.

Kael nodded—magic testing areas and Mage Towers were great assets. For most players to gain similar access, it usually happened long after the public test had started.

"In a few days, when I have some time free, I will go to the Royal Capital Mage Association and change your academic affiliation for you, and at that time, all the relevant channels of information at the Royal Capital Mage Association will be open to you."

Kael’s eyes lit up—there was such a good deal?

Information was time-sensitive. Being able to access the relevant channels of the Royal Capital Mage Association right away could greatly make up for the lack of external intelligence from the Lancaster Territory—this was indeed a timely benefit!

"Additionally, those Dungeons under the Mage Association in England that you automatically gain access to, you can bring up to 5 guests who do not exceed the Dungeon’s challenge level limit, as long as you register them in advance.

If you have the time, you should fulfill our professional duty of clearing the Dungeons. Of course, before you head to the gate to the lower realms, you can let me know in advance. Dungeons aren’t very safe, and I’ll prepare some protective gear for you to explore them."

Kael was silent for a moment, if he remembered correctly, hadn’t he just verbally agreed to become Mr. Luxius’s student?

Now, not only had his future fighting and leveling areas been sorted out, but he could even somewhat solve the difficulties that players would face in their subsequent fights and leveling?

He smacked his lips, pondering on the many strategies prepared to fleece the players—had they all come to an end before even starting?

"Oh right, I just checked and saw that you have a position hanging at the Grand Library of Secret Tomes, along with a record of long-term leave, which will affect your salary adjustment and internal promotion at the end of the academic year.

I’ve just applied to the dean to change the record to ’Outside Testing of the New Stream Shaping Ability System for Mages Training,’ and the dean has also approved it.

After all, the training program you submitted does have a great potential for success, doesn’t it?"

"The browsing rights at the library I’ll also keep open for you, barring a few taboo books, the entire library’s collection will be available to you, and it’s not a bad thing for a Scroll Scholar to read more books."

At this point, what could Kael do except numbly nod his head?

Rumors had it that earlier on, when the game was first made public, many natives who had just come into contact with the players were amazed by the players’ learning abilities, thus making many of the early internal and publicly tested players their students.

It was said that during that time, every player could receive benefits from NPCs.

However, this so-called rapid learning of various job skills was merely the effect of players directly using skill points.

Most players, once they ceased relying on skill points, quickly deteriorated into ordinary people.

No, in some cases, even worse than ordinary people.

The ordinary natives who became professionals in their fields had at least gone through a relatively long learning and training phase, but players were different—with the assistance of a system panel, most of them didn’t even consider stopping to learn.

Furthermore, detached from the skill points and compared to the normal growth curve, it felt much like the multitude of students who, upon entering university, quickly became overfed and useless, and upon approaching graduation and joining companies, found that these fellows knew nothing at all.

The players might be even worse than that. After all, those overfed university students, at least, would settle down to learn when they entered the job.

But the players? Asking them to seriously study in one place was basically impossible.

So by the time players like Kael, who were part of the third batch of public testers, entered—the stage of the Undead being scorned by the natives with cries of "RNM refunds" was already under way... Thinking back on that now, it’s really tearful!

Latter players, although the overall environment was somewhat better, found it much rarer to be taken on as students and personally trained by natives, not to mention receiving the many implicit benefits from teachers.

Speaking of which was indeed sad. Having been a person in two lives, he was somewhat moved by Mr. Luxius’s machinations.

For a while, he even called him "Mr. Luxius" with much eagerness, causing Luxius to inadvertently touch his nose, beginning to wonder if he should offer more benefits to this new student whose speech was so pleasing to hear?

After all, hearing all kinds of lavish praise from a good-looking student was quite... *cough*—very satisfying.

Good child, if you can speak well, say more!
